Overview
Upgrade a compatible H2D or H2S with the Vortek automatic hotend-swapping system using the matching model-specific kit.
- Swaps hotends to reduce purge waste during multi-material printing.
- Includes six induction hotends: four 0.4 mm hardened steel, one 0.6 mm hardened steel and one 0.2 mm stainless steel.
- Model-specific major components include the toolhead/X-axis assembly, hotend rack, control board and heatbed.
Compatibility and setup
The manufacturer recommends purchasing an H2C directly for users who primarily want the Vortek experience. An upgrade requires extensive disassembly and installation.
