What 3D printer should I order and lets put some files here
-
The person that normally 3d prints for me suggested a H2S with AMS. He has a bunch of different printers. He said I shouldn’t get the duel nozzle one because if there is a problem with the second nozzle, it can be a little tricky to fix. So I am leaning towards that one. He is also the one that is going to create the files for me and send them to me to print. I am basically buying a printer to cut down on him printing and shipping me stuff. Shipping is starting to get expensive…
I am also a little worried about these rumors with slicer software possibly being locked down.H series printers have larger build plates. H2S has the largest plate and a single nozzle for printing one color at a time. If you want to print something that is multicolor the printer will unload and load colors as necessary from the AMS 2 pro to the H2S nozzle. This produces more waste of filament because the printer has to purge out the previous color every time it changes. It also extends print time significantly. H2D and H2C are multi color printers but have slightly smaller build plates to accommodate the extra hardware. I have a X2D and will be buying a H series printer soon for the extra build volume.
Wjen looking at the plate size it seems the H2S and H2D ave very close..
I would live the H2D, only worried about me not being able to do the maintenance or whatever is necessary for the second nozzle. I am kind of a Techno peasant.. I was find with Roland printers/plotters and lathes and flow benches. Work on my own cars, build nation level motorcross bikes, etc… but I tried to design in that 3d printer software and was lost. I have no idea how any if it works.
So I guess I am down to the H2S and H2D. If the second nozzle gets messed up, will the H2D still print in single color or does it bench the whole printer? -
You will be able to continue printing with the single nozzle. Each nozzle has it's own extruder feeding your filament into the nozzle. Maintenance is actually quite easy on these machines and replacement parts are cheap on Bambu's website. Lots of tutorials on YouTube both from Bambu and regular people. Learning how to design your own stuff is pretty challenging. I'm a beginner myself when it comes to that. Tinkercad is a good free website to use for learning how to design with basic shapes. This is a good video and youtuber to get started with making your own stuff

@Ctrain24 I have designed a bunch of stuff on sharpr3d a little learning curve but its terrific and easy to use

@Ctrain24 I think I got 30 days free, then just paid for the year. I am designing like a madman. I have it down now and can design stuff pretty quickly. Every time I look in a closet or open a drawer, I find a reason to design stuff. I was at the beach and said I needed some drink holders for these chairs. Bam did it that night.

I ended up buying the H2D Combo with AMS Pro and HT Pro..
Now all I have to do is figure out how to use design software. I won’t be designing that much stuff, So I don’t want to pay a monthly or yearly subscription. I would rather buy software outright. -

I should probably put some files in makers so I can share them.

@Stevepep
I am trying to avoid subscriptions, there will be many months at a time when I won’t be using it…@Commander I don’t know wish I could help there are some free ones like tinkercad. I haven’t messed with them though

Unfortunately I may have to stay with a free version. I was trying to find one I could just buy, no subscription… it is like my Adobe Illustrator, I use it once every couple of years.
@Commander you can get a free version for personal use of Autodesk Fusion.

@Snake-Pepskin
Thank you. I read that somewhere else too. But how hard is that software to use?
I have been concentrating on learning Bambu slicer. My thought is learn that part really well before I start to try and learn to actually build stuff. I am lucky, the guy I use to buy my all my 3d printed stuff from is really nice and will design stuff for me to print on my printer. He has a H2S, so it is really close to the H2D I bought. I figured it is best to learn in steps since I don’t have the free time to really dive into it 110% right now.
I guess I am in a similar situation as when I had a Roland SP300v, I got the printer profiles down and mastered the printing process, but was always terrible at designing stuff. I was lucky them as well, my friend is a graphic artist, so he would design, I would print… -
Ok this is a great travel case. It holds two pens and four pen vials. That’s how I travel. The packs I got on Amazon they are in the listing on Makers. Pen needles are stored in the top.
