printing, and a larger print area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we have a Bambu Lab H2D, which has an extra-large print area and dual nozzles for using multiple materials at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, you can review our intro workshop on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/vizlab\/resources\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"40\">Resources Page<\/a>, and
