Now, the next evolution is here: printers that can swap between materials on the fly, mix different colors to produce nearly the full rainbow, mix soft and hard materials, and even mix different sizes of nozzle and different diameters of filament so you can switch between high speed and fine detail in a single print.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Today, Bambu Lab is announcing its most advanced 3D printer yet, <a href="https://bambulab.com/en-us/h3c">the $2,499 H3C</a>, which can do all of that mixing goodness - by loading <em>nine</em> different rolls of filament into <em>nine</em> different print hea …</p> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/1024978/bambu-h3c-color-mixing-toolchanger-3d-printer-trend">Read the full story at The Verge.</a></p>
