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

I really appreciate the effort you and the other commenters have placed into the responses. Thank you for drop the print tuning tutorial. That is saved and I will start digging into it in the am. It's seems the consensus is to take my time, be patient with it, and learn the proper way to use the software and hardware before diving deeper. All the the filament types, drying and proper storage, plate textures, etc.. Really good ideas to search for interactive online learning and tutorials. I will take advantage of those as well. Learn to crawl, walk and then run 🫡
