It don't take Sesame Street to figure out that 'L' is for "Large" on this one. 😅 Although, the question is... what size build plate are we talking about? In the first generation of printers, Bambu was pretty smart in keeping the build plates -- with the obvious exception of the A1 Mini -- to the same size. It was a pretty big deal because it helped solidify the 256x256x256 build volume across different print model platforms.

The H2 series has been a little rocky with this. Fortunately, the H2D and H2S share the same build plates while not sharing the same build areas. Unfortunately, due to the H2 chassis design not taking into account space for the Vortek system, the H2C has a slightly smaller build platform.

So, my hope is that the A2L shares build plates with the H2D and H2S. Although, I do wonder what the build volume will end up being.

For reference, here is the largest available print volume for each H-series printer: * H2S: 340x320x340 mm * H2D: 350×320x325 mm * H2C: 330×320x325 mm

Agreed on size, it’s pretty obvious. We will see in a several days!
