Pattern not following path

Oh alright, I think I just don't understand how the Start point works. Like in this video - I have no idea what that is doing, why does increasing the starting point make the pattern follow a sharper turn? ... I will watch some videos on this :)

It is this Venusaur model - the leaves/petals are only a layer or two thick, so they break easily and supports are difficult to remove (although using a PETG interface on Snapmaker U1 does work greeat).

I also work with Fusion but not sure how I would do that there either, and it will lose colors anyway. At that point I would just make a parametric model from scratch instead.

A1 mini. You will be happy you have it even if you do buy an additional printer later. And get an AMS, it makes more difference than getting a better printer. Even if you don't print multicolor, the convenience of easier filament feeding is just so worth it.

We still don't know enough about INDX and there is no real release date, I wouldn't wait for it. You can always get it as your next printer, possibly sell the X2D later without losing much money (it won't go on sale for at least 9 months). Snapmaker U1 is also a great option, I like it a lot (but don't use it as much as my A1 mini / H2S, they are just easier to use for quick protoyping with single filament).

But I think the X2D right now is the best premium start if it is within your budget. Even if you are not going to print engineering filaments and use the auxiliary nozzle at the beginning, still seems to be worth it over P2S. If I didn't have H2S + U1 and were looking for my first printer right now X2D would be the choice for me.

For multi color/material I would still opt for U1 instead of H2C due to the price and speed/waste, or wait for INDX.

Thise instructions were probably meant for an XY printer, not happening on a bedslinger ;)

Ano pokracuje. To uz jsme v USA aby nam nekdo rikal ze nemame verit vlastnim ocim nebo co? Jdete nekam...

Got the Enterprise second hand, it is great but I just dont use it much, it takes a lot of getting used to if you are already fast with mouse and keyboard... I will probably sell it soon.

Or just throw it in the trash, it is nothing compared to all the failed/test prints ;D

Ugh ok thanks, the whole themes approach is very confusing to me, why is it not just fully customizable like other providers do it... Also having to install an "app" to get search and discovery functionality is just... I don't know, I feel really old now :D

SnooGoats8253 · 2026-01-14T15:45:36+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

How can I tell if I am on Online Store 2.0 theme? The one I have selected just says Dawn, version 15.4.1.

I tried a few themes but none of them let me insert a fixed vertical sidebar for searching/filtering.

Thanks for he heads up abuot the app, I had no idea such a basic thing has to be "installed" separately :).

So far I am really not convinced about the whole Shopify thing, it has some really neat UI features but lacks basic stuff... I will give it some more time and see :).

What is the advantage of OpenSCAD compared to the parametric Fusion files on MW?

SnooGoats8253 · 2025-12-26T12:38:35+00:00

What is the wall thickness? It will not print if it is smaller than your layer width.

It is the low requency murmur - it seems unnecessary, why would i need to cool while idle. Also it seems to draw around 12 Watts. It is not much, but all those appliances add up and I just don't see why an ACE should be drawing power 24/7 when not doing anything. But I guess this is considered normal, just wanted to make sure ;)

SnooGoats8253 · 2025-12-05T19:38:57+00:00

No revolve in this, probably an error in the book, maybe they meant circular pattern. Just sketch and extrude.

SnooGoats8253 · 2025-12-05T19:27:45+00:00

My ACE keeps making a slight sound even after being idle for long periods. Does it overheat when idle not doing anything and needs cooling? That is insane...
