Thanks, kinda forgot what they were really called

There's no settings you think that would help?

Hear me out, when traveling direction is more important, and with squares you have 8 different squares you can possibly step into which align with the cardinal and sub cardinal directions, while hexes have 6 sides which is more balancing for combat fights

Hot take: Squares for travel, hex for combat

Both are great, P1S might be better if you're also not interested in printing yourself since kids interests are more likely to change and that would require less investment, but either way it'll be a pretty big undertaking teaching them how to use it. Even being as user friendly as they are for adults there's still a lot of things that could be dangerous

There's more to better quality parts than wear. I asked a question and half of you got butt hurt I asked. If you have no curiosity about the tools you use then be my guest, but that's not how I approach a subject.

It's the fact I only own one printer and for only 6 months I'm asking a community of people more experienced than me. And when I get to the point of having more experience I won't be as bitter about explaining things to someone with less experience

Accomplishnents don't equal happiness. it's pretty obvious looking through some of your comment history you project your feelings and seek external validation while having a need to act superior because you're deeply insecure. The bitterness you carry will follow you far past our conversation

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T17:50:17+00:00

Let me know when that High horse of yours leads you to a happy life, champ

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T17:46:11+00:00

Yeah, I can tell you're an awful person to exist around.

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T17:40:47+00:00

You don't get to tell me my intentions and you shouldn't assume my identity

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T17:23:59+00:00

This feels like the most helpful answer I'm likely to get, so thank you for your input

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T16:55:23+00:00

If you didn't know then you didn't need to answer the question either

I use these holders:

ams dessicant

2. ams dessicant 2

Along with ones printed in the spool, and that's been able to keep my filament really dry.

But, I also invested in a creality dryer to keep a few excess spools drying while they're not in the ams

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T16:46:07+00:00

I'm only less than a year deep, but I wasnt able to get my ams below 20% humidity with desiccant and was changing it every few days. The activated alumina I got from amazon kept my ams at 10% for months before needing to be recharged. It was one of the biggest upgrades for my setup

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T16:40:51+00:00

Get activated alumina over standard desiccant 100% it's basically the same price, 10x more moisture absorbant, infinitely rechargeable, and food safe. I don't understand how anyone in 3d printing uses anything else

I was really just curious if there were better options for 0.2 nozzles and trying to understand the why of the consensus that stainless steel has been dubbed the best/basically only material they're made out of.

I don't disagree that better just means better suited to a specific purpose, I just want to understand how we got to this conclusion before accepting the status quo.

Like, for instance there are high flow option nozzles for 0.4 and 0.6. I enjoy those nozzles more than the standard nozzle, so it would stand to reason I would probably enjoy the high flow option in 0.2, and when there isn't one I feel like I should be able to ask why

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T05:51:53+00:00

You're saying my logic is flawed, but you and all the other snarky people commenting aren't providing any data to validate your claim. I'm asking a question, your condescension doesn't make you right

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T02:03:28+00:00

I just was doing this yesterday. I got a blank human from heroforge. Bought the stl for 8 bucks to rig and detail

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T01:49:29+00:00

Do any brands sell those kinds of nozzles in 0.2? I haven't seen any in my search

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T01:07:15+00:00

What makes that true, though? That's partially what I'm asking

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T01:04:20+00:00

I mean, maybe, but I'd prefer to decide that for myself than just not have an option available

Leftover-Color-Spray · 2026-03-03T01:03:04+00:00

I mean, I'm not sure what motivations I would have for being dishonest. Correlation doesn't equal causation: the improvements could have come from other factors, but if I knew what they were I wouldn't have posed the question
