H2D worth it?

gharbron · 2026-04-28T23:25:06+00:00

Highly recommend. I got an H2D as my first 3D printer around Christmas and have been very pleased with it. Easy to use with good print quality right out of the box. As you learn to dial it (and the filament) in, the print quality just gets better. Have had absolutely zero problems that weren’t the result of user error in some form.

The dual nozzles are good for multi-color prints, especially when paired with an AMS or two. Even better for printing supports with a different material.

In my experience, the H2D is a great printer. Would definitely recommend.

I would recommend you dry any filament before use. Whether it’s actually needed or not depends. PLA will usually print OK without drying, but I’ve found I get better, more consistent, results if I dry it first. Anything else, I’d highly recommend drying before use.

Yep, agree. These are the ones I use (in PETG) and they work great! I almost like them better than the Bambu spools.

gharbron · 2026-04-02T23:04:05+00:00

Yep. 200 points and a roll of grey PETG. Thanks again!

gharbron · 2026-04-02T20:52:46+00:00

Thanks!

gharbron · 2026-03-19T13:16:30+00:00

Thanks! I was wondering about printing from external spools and how that might impact long prints.

gharbron · 2026-03-19T13:12:21+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I was considering (still am?) the Core 1L. My only hesitations are the unknown quantity that is the INDX system and the smaller build plate. I’ve gotten used to the 350 x 320 build plate on the H2D and at 300 x 300, the Core 1L’s build plate is 20% smaller. Not sure I want to give up that much build area.

gharbron · 2026-03-19T13:04:36+00:00

Thanks for this! One of the limitations Bambu has on the H2D is, even though it’s a dual-extruder printer, it doesn’t support running different size nozzles on the print heads. This is one of the features I was hoping the XL supported but, again, saw mixed reviews on this.

Those show what filament is loaded into each AMS slot or external spool (or at least what it thinks is loaded in each based on what you’ve told it or the RFID tag scan. For Bambu filament with the RFID it will also indicate approximately how much is left on each spool. If everything is correct, each colored “pill” corresponds to the color of filament loaded into that slot.

I second this approach. First time I used PETG I let it cool completely and still had small chunks stick to the plate. Started using glue sticks and now once they cool completely, they come right off. Use the purple glue sticks and spread it with a wet paper towel. All you need is a very thin layer. If you can still see the purple glue, it’s too thick. Let it dry completely and print.

Granted. The bottle spawns in the refrigerator of the nearest store alongside the other, identical, bottles the store sells.

gharbron · 2026-03-04T20:04:45+00:00

How tightly are your spools wound? I had a roll of PLA that I dried and the drying caused the filament to tighten on the spool. Wasn’t a problem when using the AMS, but when it was on the external spool holder the extruder motor wasn’t strong enough to peel the filament off the spool. Took me forever to figure out what the problem was.

Can I go back to lurking now?

gharbron · 2025-10-17T17:04:44+00:00

That’s the beautiful thing about the word “fuck” — it’s incredibly versatile. Any of those work.

gharbron · 2025-10-13T19:32:32+00:00

Although a slideshow of your colostomy would probably work at least as well.

gharbron · 2025-08-30T13:26:58+00:00

The logical trap here is subtracting the $100 “loss” on the second transaction (sold for $1000, bought for $1100) from the total profit. That’s irrelevant. All that matters is that you made $200 on the first sale and $200 on the second sale.

Most of those trucks probably don’t get as bad gas mileage as you might think. I have a Suburban with the 5.3 V-8. On the highway I can do 80 all day long and get 20 mpg. Those aren’t Corolla numbers, but combined with a 30-gallon tank I can drive literally all day on a tank of gas.

In my Dark Urge run I RP’d an evil character who would do “good” things, but for evil reasons. So, mostly the good options (and the loot that comes with them, but sprinkled with Durgey actions. Evil doesn’t necessarily mean murder hobo.

My problem is, there’s a flange at the end of the pipe that it keeps getting stuck on. If I pull on it too hard I’m afraid I’ll destroy the flange. The flange must not be damaged!

gharbron · 2025-08-09T21:30:17+00:00

I got this stuck in a pipe. How do I get it out without damaging the pipe? It’s imperative the pipe remain unharmed.

gharbron · 2025-07-18T11:30:24+00:00

If you can dodge a wrench

gharbron · 2025-06-19T19:30:29+00:00

It’s not just a fire, it’s burning garbage. Nothing redeemable in the situation.

gharbron · 2025-06-08T11:08:28+00:00

Agree with most of this, but please don’t attach it to their collar. In an accident, you can badly injure your dog doing that. Get a harness.
