A user on X posted a blurry image they claim to be the next Bambu Lab 3D printer, leaked from WeChat on June 4th (expand the above tweet to see the image). Internet gurus immediately began the time-honored sport of image dissection to determine the type of printer that had been leaked.
When the H2D leaked in March 2025, we did not report on it because Tom’s Hardware was under embargo and already had the H2D in our workshop. This time around, there is no embargo, because we haven’t been told of the next release yet. Nothing is alarming about this chain of events, as we saw it happen with the P1P, Bambu Lab’s budget follow-up to the X1 Carbon in 2022. It was released without fanfare, and only a few units were sent to reviewers before the announcement.
I recently spoke with one of Bambu Lab’s PR people for a brief catch-up call to see how I liked the H2D’s laser after spending more time with it. We also spoke of new filament lines, the successful launch of Bambu’s CyberBrick modular RC vehicles, and new tools coming to MakerLab. When I asked if there was a new printer in the pipeline, she shrugged it off. Maybe later.
