We look at how the six-nozzle rack works, how fast the induction-heated hotends really are, how much waste the system produces, and how it stacks up against toolchangers like the Prusa XL and Snapmaker U1. I also tear down one of the new induction nozzles to see what’s going on inside and test print times, waste, print quality, and multi-material performance across different machines. If you’re wondering whether the H2C is worth it, how it performs in real multi-color scenarios, or whether its engineering is truly next-gen, this video has the answers.
