Just posting to get on the forum try to become active. I was a long time lurker on r/fosscad. I was 80% builder initially, but have been going back and forth on 3d2a and buying a printer for the past 18 months or so. I finally broke down and bought a Bambu H2D on 26Sept, with delivery of 03Oct. I got on reddit a couple of days ago to a surprise, like many, Fosscad was wiped. Always a day late and a dollar short 😩😩. Thankfully I am in the discord and was able to find you guys again.

Hindsight 20/20 i should have been collecting build files and storing them offline just in case a issue like this arose. Anyways glad to have found you guys again. Hoping to school myself and start getting some projects running soon.

Any comments, suggestions, pointers, do's/dont's, hardware or software upgrades? I'm all ears!!

Glad to be here and thanks to the guys who put this all together so quickly. @TheShittinator@forum.guncadindex.com

Bro u just spent hella money on a H2D, go look on print a 22 website and find a cool project u wanna work on AFTER learning printing basics Also u don’t need ANY fuccin upgrades after getting a H2D, print a benchy, print some calibration cubes, learn slicer settings, USE ORCASLICER, do a fun .22lr project and maybe a Glocc, real entry level projects then after that just jump in the deep end

I went bit wild on the printer, it seems. I will settle down into learning mode with the very basics, as you and others have said. I def want to become proficient before going to something like 3d2A. Thanks for your input, I will take your advice.

Aye man I’m jealous u got tha money bro, just sayin make sure u get those settings down pact, H2D is lil more than overboard than what you need here but if u get real proficient you can do sum crazy projects, trust the proces, be one with your printer, then sail the odd sea 🫡
