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

Yeah man, I went a bit nuts. I should have mentioned that this primarily for my son and engineering projects for his education. The 3d2a is secondary, that more of my personal side project / interest. I was looking at Bambu mostly for ease of use / hit the ground running with minimal learning curve for him. While i sit in the background learning. We were going to get a x1c, then the H2S came out. He ended up talking me into the H2D... I could have said no and saved myself a ton. Ehhh I have blown money on worse.

I will for sure take the time to consider your idea of a Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I will take a look!

You wont regret the bambu. I got the P1S but it’s lightyears ahead of the competition. Planning on getting an H2D some time in the future. You made the right call imo.

I think I'm more excited about this endeavor, than my son 😆 I guess it's school work for him. But really the sky's the limit here. I'm amped up, I have been reading like crazy.
