Bambu Lab H2D Laser Upgrade Kit
Transform your standard H2D into a powerful laser-engraving and cutting workstation—unlock the same performance as the H2D Laser Edition with this modular upgrade.
Powerful Laser Modules (Laser Module Not Included With Base Kit)
- 10 W (blue) laser: Ideal for precise engraving and light cutting (up to ~5 mm basswood plywood).
- 40 W (blue) laser: Strong enough for rapid, deeper cuts (up to ~15 mm basswood plywood).
Key Capabilities
- High-speed precision: Positioning accuracy enables clean machining and engraving.
- Air Assist cooling: Enhances cut quality by managing heat and debris.
- Flame detection: Built-in sensors trigger alerts and safeguards in case of flare-ups.
- External air pump: Configured for standalone integration through the designated 4-pin expansion port:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
Materials & Performance
- Compatible with wood, dark acrylic, cork, PU leather, rubber, metal sheet, stone, and more:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.

10 W vs. 40 W comparisons:
- Cutting Thickness (Basswood): 10 W (~6 mm); 40 W (~15 mm).
- Engraving Speed (Basswood): 10 W (~400 mm/s); 40 W (~1000 mm/s).
Compatibility & Installation
- Designed for upgrading the non-laser H2D to full laser functionality—it achieves feature parity with the H2D Laser Edition:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
- Requires careful installation—review the wiki guide and videos; includes BirdsEye camera integration, laser safety windows, and air assist setup:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
Why Upgrade?
- Unlock laser engraving and cutting without needing to buy an entirely new printer.
- Seamless integration into your H2D—maintain multi-tool flexibility for ultimate workshop versatility.
- Ideal for creating detailed designs, custom cutouts, pen plotting, and more with one modular toolhead.
Pro Tips
- Choose your laser module power (10 W vs. 40 W) based on material thickness and detail needed.
- Always power off before installation—laser components and wiring are sensitive and safety is key:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.
- Test with small samples first to dial in speed/power settings—and always enable air assist for cleaner results.
