Bambu has teased an H3C 3D-printer print showing watch components made with different nozzle and filament sizes, including 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm nozzles. The image suggests those combinations may be used within one print, but Bambu has not confirmed the feature, supported materials, or whether it will reach other printers.
Bambu has released a new teaser for its upcoming H3C 3D printer showing a watch assembled from printed components made with different nozzle and filament sizes. The imagery suggests the printer may let users combine 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm nozzles, and possibly 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm filament, in one print—but Bambu has not yet confirmed how the feature works or which machines will support it.
As reported by ToolGuyd, the teaser video shows watch components printed in place as a single part. Its labels associate a 0.4 mm nozzle and 1.75 mm filament with the rigid case, a 0.2 mm nozzle and 1.75 mm filament with fine details, and a 0.4 mm nozzle and 2.85 mm filament with a soft strap. ToolGuyd describes the strap material as possibly TPU; the material is not confirmed by the teaser information provided.
The combination of nozzle sizes is the more consequential suggestion. A smaller nozzle for detailed features and a larger one for other portions could give users more control over surface detail and print time within a project. The 2.85 mm filament reference also points to a possible change in filament compatibility, though Bambu has not published specifications verifying that interpretation.
The source report says the teaser does not establish whether mixed nozzle and filament sizes can be used in one print job, or whether the displayed components represent separate operations. It also notes that software constraints have limited mixing 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm nozzles on Bambu’s existing dual-nozzle printers. The video is therefore evidence of what Bambu is suggesting, not a complete feature announcement.
Why Mixed Nozzles Matter
If the implied capability is confirmed, it could address a practical limitation for owners who want both fine detail and faster material deposition in the same project. Rather than selecting one nozzle size for an entire job, users might be able to assign different nozzles to different parts or features. That could make multi-material or multi-component printing more flexible, particularly for objects combining rigid and flexible sections.
For buyers, the unresolved compatibility boundary matters as much as the feature itself. If mixed-nozzle printing is exclusive to the H3C, it may be a reason to consider the new model. If Bambu later enables it on existing printers through software, current owners could benefit without replacing hardware. At present, neither scenario is confirmed, and the teaser alone does not show how the workflow would be configured.

Bambu has been revealing H3C features through a sequence of teasers rather than a full specification announcement. According to ToolGuyd, an earlier image highlighted multi-color printing; the newer watch video shifts attention to nozzle and filament combinations. The manufacturer has not, in the source material, provided a complete H3C feature list or launch details.
ToolGuyd says users have long requested the ability to use different nozzle sizes in one print on Bambu’s H2D and H2C printers, and speculates that the newer X2D may also be relevant. The report characterizes existing software as a constraint, but does not establish whether that limitation is hardware-based, whether it applies in every workflow, or whether Bambu plans to change it.
The report also mentions a P3C as a possible related model, while acknowledging that it had not been formally announced in the material available to the outlet. Any assumption that it would share the H3C’s capabilities remains speculation, not a confirmed product detail.
“0.4mm nozzle using 1.75mm filament for the rigid case; 0.2mm nozzle using 1.75mm filament for the crisp details; 0.4mm nozzle using 2.85mm filament for the (TPU?) soft strap.”

Compatibility Details Still Pending
Bambu has not confirmed whether the video depicts multiple nozzles operating within one print job, whether 2.85 mm filament is supported, or whether the soft strap is TPU. It is also unclear which printer models would receive the capability, whether it requires particular hardware, and what software settings or workflow would be needed.
The source material does not provide a formal launch date, pricing, full H3C specifications, or a statement from Bambu explaining the teaser. The P3C’s status and its possible feature set are also unconfirmed. Until the company releases specifications or a demonstration of the printing process, these points should be treated as open questions rather than established product features.
Awaiting Bambu’s Feature Details
The next useful confirmation would be a Bambu product announcement or technical demonstration showing how the printer assigns nozzle sizes and filament types during a job. Buyers and current owners will also need the company to clarify supported materials, compatible models, and software requirements. Until then, the watch video offers a product hint, not a confirmed compatibility matrix.
Key Questions
What did Bambu show in the H3C teaser?
The teaser depicts a watch made from components printed in place and labels different parts with 0.2 mm or 0.4 mm nozzles and 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm filament.
Has Bambu confirmed that different nozzle sizes can be used in one print?
No. The imagery suggests that possibility, but the source material does not include a direct confirmation from Bambu or explain whether the nozzles operate in the same job.
Does the teaser confirm 2.85 mm TPU support?
No. The video reportedly associates 2.85 mm filament with a soft strap, which ToolGuyd says may be TPU. Both the material identification and printer compatibility remain unconfirmed.
Will existing Bambu printers get the feature?
That is unknown. ToolGuyd says software limits mixing nozzle sizes on existing dual-nozzle models, but Bambu has not said whether the H3C capability will be exclusive or offered to other printers.
