As a newb to this game, should I gathering and files and storing everything offline on isolated hard drive? I am in the very beginning of my journey here. I have a ways to go before my first 3d2A print. Considering the atmosphere, I keep feeling it would be wise to gather and store anything that I have an interest in a isolated ssd, offline? FossCad down, and Who knows with future legislation if they will force companies like bambu to block/monitor/report any 2a prints. I saw recently Pennsylvania is reviewing legislation to make any 2a NFA covered 3d prints illegal.

I was always curious about them. I would imagine people manufacture (scaled to 15mm) cartridges similar to the 40mm m781 "practice" cartridge, they fire from the m203?

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.

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!!

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 🫡

💯 that is the path!! thanks brotha, appreciate you!

"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.

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!

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
