Product Features
- Multi-Material Printing with Minimal Purge Waste
- Fully Automatic Filament Change
- 8-Second Induction Heating
- Contactless Design For Reliability
1. The Vortek Upgrade Kit is compatible with H2D and H2S printers, but the installation requires advanced skill and significant time. For better value, we recommend purchasing the H2C printer which includes the Vortek system.
2. Before purchasing, you must read the official installation guide for the Vortek Upgrade Kit available on the Bambu Lab Wiki to fully understand the installation process.
Multi-Material Printing with Minimal Purge Waste
In traditional single-nozzle multi-material printing, purging is needed to clear leftover material between filament changes.Vortek changes that with an intelligent hotend-sw apping system that replaces the entire hotend — delivering faster, cleaner prints with minimal waste.
Fully Automatic Filament Change
The Vortek system works seamlessly with our highly reliable AMS (Automatic Material System), making the entire filament change process fully automatic — no need to manually load each filament into the toolhead.
Always Delivering the Most Efficient Combination
The Vortek system can store filament information in the hotend’s memory, ensuring the correct filament is matched to each hotend. If you are printing with more than seven filament types, the system can calculate the optimal combination to minimize purge waste.

8-Second Induction Heating
Our industry-leading induction heating technology brings the nozzle to temperature in 8-sec, significantly reducing the preheating time for each material swap compared to traditional methods.

Contactless Design For Reliability
Our high standards for reliability led us to move away from contact-based metal pins, which are prone to oxidation and unstable connections.We developed a contactless solution that ensures a stable, high-frequency connection — the foundation for precise temperature control and intelligent hotend sync.

Colors Are No Longer Limited By How Many Toolheads You Have
Unlike traditional toolchanger printers that limit color count by the number of toolheads, the H2C supports up to 24 materials in a single print through parallel-connected AMS units. Its intelligent algorithm optimizes filament-to-hotend allocation to minimize purge waste while delivering outstanding multi-color and multi-material results.

FAQ
1. Can H2S and H2D be upgraded to H2C?
A: H2D and H2S users can upgrade their devices to H2C by purchasing a Vortek upgrade kit. However, due to the high level of technical skill required for the upgrade process and its lengthy duration, it is recommended that users who want to experience the Vortek system directly purchase an H2C. Purchasing an H2S or H2D first and then upgrading will incur additional costs.
The H2D Vortek upgrade kit is expected to arrive as early as January 2026. Since H2D does not require updating its native firmware before the upgrade, the upgrade can be performed immediately upon kit arrival.
While the H2S Vortek upgrade kit is expected to arrive around the same time, the upgrade requires a prior update to the native H2S firmware. This firmware is expected to be released as early as Q1 2026, therefore the Vortek upgrade for H2S users is also expected to be available as early as Q1 2026.
The following are detailed tutorials on upgrading from H2D/H2S to H2C:
- H2D: H2D to H2C Upgrade Guide
- H2S: H2S to H2C Upgrade Guide (release in Q1 2026)
2. After purchasing the Vortek Upgrade Kit, how many packages will I receive?
A: The upgrade kit is shipped in 5 separate packages. We recommend checking immediately upon receipt to ensure all components are present and nothing is missing. For a detailed list of included parts, please refer to the specific Wiki page for your upgrade kit.
3. What is the estimated installation time?
A: The replacement and installation process is estimated to take approximately 4-5 hours. Please ensure you have set aside sufficient time and reviewed the official installation guide before beginning.
4. Can I use the Vortek Upgrade Kit to upgrade my H2D Pro to H2C?
A: No, upgrading the H2D Pro to H2C is not recommended. Please note that the H2C does not support professional connectivity features, including Ethernet connections and WPA2-Enterprise authenticated Wi-Fi.
