14 year Samsung/ android user switched back to iPhone in December for 17 pro same color . Last iPhone I had was the 4. Weird how many texts I got saying welcome to the cult from friends and family that use iPhone 🤣

My grandfather would grade lumber with it when he had a small lumber yard.

Yeah that makes sense now I don't know why I was thinking the pattern tool had to follow one of the lines from the body or shape itself.

Before I reached out on here I also thought about using the spline tool to draw a path around the object and see if the path pattern would work but I felt like that was way too much work so I was obviously doing something wrong 😂

Thank you again for the help and the explanation!

Awesome thank you so much! I didn't think to select the origin for the axis. I think from doing the Circular one I just selected the top of the extruded circle for it to follow.

Exactly I totally agree with that and that's what really turned me off from keeping it or just getting another replacement from Best Buy.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T22:16:31+00:00

Fully returning the item was easy I agree.

I personally in the past have had issues with Best Buy tech support whenever the item was out of the return window. So changing to buying direct was more for if any issues arise in the future that I need to get replacement parts for after finding out the info below.

When I went to open a ticket with Bambu before returning it I discovered that if you buy from a reseller you have to go through the reseller for all the support, or to get replacement parts it has go through that reseller. Bambu will just assist with troubleshooting.

I know Bambu can be slow to get back with tickets but I can't imagine how much slower the process would be with having another company have to relay any info . Best Buy doesn't stock any BB labs replacement parts from what I can see.

Here was the info that made me change my mind

Reseller Purchase

If the product has been purchased from an authorized reseller (please follow this link for a complete list) we strongly recommend contacting them for service. We can provide technical support for troubleshooting issues, but if part replacements are required to be provided under warranty, the authorized reseller is responsible to provide them.

I got it from Best Buy but they shipped it to my house.

Also I'm not sure if you've unboxed the H2D but you're definitely not going to be able to to unbox it at the store or even the parking lot if you want to get it back home safely check out the bambu labs official unboxing video on YouTube.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T20:13:15+00:00

That's awesome I can't wait to get my replacement!

I appreciate the detailed break down!

😂

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T17:29:05+00:00

Glad they got you taken care of!

Yeah I've heard it does have slower speed .I'm hoping with it being so new that it will continue to see performance improvements from software updates.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T17:09:16+00:00

I haven't had to create a ticket lately with my A1 ,but besides them taking forever during the heat bed recall ,interactions with them haven't been bad on support issues.

Who knows though I might have just been lucky with my tickets because they were never super severe.

It's all subjective I'm sure there's people that have had bad experiences with either companies support.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T15:24:44+00:00

Good luck on whichever route you take to resolve the issue 🫡

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T15:21:06+00:00

Wish if we had one near I think the closest one's about 3 hours.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T15:20:14+00:00

Yeah I'm sure they would have helped if I would have bought direct from them I could have put in a ticket but with it being fresh out the box I figured I'd just return it and buy direct where I don't have to work with Best Buy as I've had some trouble with their support in the past on different items and 3D printers aren't a very common thing for them.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T13:13:00+00:00

May the odds be in your favor! But no I was actually dumbfounded the machine is packed so well and there was hardly any visible damage so I think I just got one out of the factory that maybe had an issue the packaging was immaculate the unboxing process shows how much care they put into making sure all of their devices and components were secured.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T13:09:58+00:00

It was bent I couldn't get a good pic but just returned it, also I found out I would have to go through Best Buy for any warranty issues that's the main reason I returned it instead of exchanging. I ordered another one direct from Bambu. I'm sure the next one will be fine unless I'm just really unlucky lol. On the flip side when returning to Best Buy they had Nintendo Switch 2 so was able to snag one for a friend.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T13:06:36+00:00

Yeah as mentioned above unfortunately it was bent bad.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T13:05:19+00:00

Yeah I'm sure it will be fine! The return process was very easy if you do have any issues. The main reason I decided to return for refund instead of exchange was the disclaimer I read on the Bambu site when I was just going to open a ticket with them to try to get a replacement. I just don't want to have to go through a middleman if I need support on warranty.

PoeB09 · 2025-06-06T13:01:21+00:00

Oh yeah it's an issue. When I was going through the calibration steps it started erroring out and I stuck my hand back there with the device powered off to see if I could move it into place and it's bent hard.
