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

Something i learned recently too, if you are using a fan or A/C in the same room as your printer, it CAN cause your prints to not stick as well because of the draft from it. An enclosure can prevent this though (even one of the cheap ones from Amazon)

Damn, That is good to know!! Interestly enough, the room I will be working in can be drafty at times. So this possible saved me a heck of a lot of heartache and troubleshooting, if it became an issue. The shared knowledge from this group is awesome, very grateful i started here!!
