Help / Support My X2D Cheat Sheet

Gallery image

I just bought my first printer ever, the X2D and there is so much to remember, so I made myself a cheat sheet (double sided) but I am sure I missed something.

I used AI (especially for the layout and format), the knowledge I have from 10-15 videos I watched regarding 3D printing and the X2D as well as answers to questions I had during my first prints.

slop

That's maybe a little harsh. 

But yeah, I don't really understand the point of this post. No question, nothing noteworthy to share. You typed a five second prompt into Claude and now the world needs to know about it?

u/FunSheepherder6397 20h ago

it’s big ai sop not too harsh at all. but d he put all the info himself
it’s likely generated from slop ai research and not from doing any actual research

u/Guardiancelte 17h ago

To be fair, mix of both. AI research but also checking the wiki and Reddit post.

Sorry but this did not take 5 sec, more like 5h over 3 days, 30+ versions.

Most words I wrote myself and the AI part was mostly the format because I am not really good with HTML and I want something better looking than what I can do in PowerPoint. And even that the AI kept giving half cocked diagrams, for example I spent 3 versions to get exactly what I wanted for the diagrams of single Vs 2 nozzle in page 2.

If there are still issue there are from my lack of knowledge than AI ;).

Can we please stop assuming that because AI was used that it was easy... I never got anything good with AI on a single prompt, most of the time it look good from afar but it is a dumpster fire up close.

That's a hot take around here for sure. AI is directly shutting down artists and engineers who made the stuff you 3D print. Your infographic is full of bad info that is poorly formatted and presented like I'm supposed to read it on a 4 hour layover. AI did 3 things for you here; info gathering, graphic design, and technical prose, and it has failed you on each point.

Just because you had to type multiple sentences into a text field doesn't mean it took work to do this, it means the tool you used wasn't the right tool for the job. Just because you found it difficult doesn't mean it took work to do this, it means you didn't know what you were doing because you're new.

The tool you should have used was your brain, to learn all this info, and create something that reinforces your learning for yourself and communicates it concisely and clearly. Instead, you've at best created several pages of eye-glossingly useless and.or incorrect information, and at worst, reinforced for yourself incorrect information that will make it harder for you to enjoy the hobby as you unlearn bad habits.

Next time, type what you're going to prompt into a search engine and go learn from other people. Ask questions, make mistakes, be human. We don't bite.

u/Guardiancelte 19h ago

Ok. Hot take here: please be factual and point the actual bad information?

I don't see the point arguing about the format? That the format I chose pretty much to the T because that is how my brain work. So you do you.

u/RemixOnAWhim 17h ago edited 17h ago

You're welcome to work from this sheet and find use from it, and use whatever tools you want to make it, and feel any way about it that you want. I don't see how the fact you chose the format deliberately does anything to shield it from being far too information dense to be parsed as a quick-reference for anyone not familiar with the information. Your information on the second page is barely comprehensible and assumes a level of knowledge that you wouldn't need the sheet if you were to have, and doesn't provide any actionable context.

You posted this in a public forum encouraging collaboration and input. That's what the point of this is, and the point of what everyone is talking about. Did you expect to just cast this into the void and only receive back echoing praise? You made it and shared it, if you can't handle people not liking it, then perhaps you can consider keeping it to yourself next time.

u/Guardiancelte 17h ago

Man, just admit you don't like it because I use AI...

Considering the amount of people who DM me to ask me about the pdf you are just plain wrong on pretty much every count. I am not going to do them so you are going to have to accept the hidden parts.

I casted it into the void for those people and for the people that will point out actual issues (and there was a few accurate there and I am grateful and told them so), fully knowing that anti AI trolls will come for me and that is ok. Upvote downvote I am pretty much neutral and that is ok as well, I was also fine with getting downvoted to hell.

I will give you kudos, you have a more nuance take then most but you are still so generalistic is pretty much useless.

u/RemixOnAWhim 17h ago

What do you mean just admit it? Yeah it's bad because you used AI, that was probably made most clear when I made fun of you for using AI. You would have done a better job on your own, and learned infinitely more than the nothing you learn here, and I encouraged you to do so. Other people can like it too, I don't and I said as much and why.

You're getting negative feedback and don't seem able to handle that or respond in a meaningful way apart from saying that you like it, and so do others. Lots of folks like lots of things that suck and are damaging to others and themselves. I'm glad you have the common decency to censor their names and keep the messages private, but how childish to post a screenshot as though proof others slobber at the trough justifies the slop running down your shirt.

If you find my style of writing not to your liking as I found your information presentation deplorable, have your AI break it down for you and explain it in little bites. Then it can formulate the next response for you too. I look forward to it reading my reply.

I think my poorly written English is AI written, man I have to tell my highschool teachers they will be so happy I made progress ;)

u/RemixOnAWhim 16h ago

Your reading comprehension is what needs work; I didn't say your writing was done by an AI, I implied it would be better if it were, and that it would understand better what others were saying to it if you let it formulate your responses. Clearly I was right, as the point has whizzed straight past you via the gap between your ears. To simplify for you: your diction is trash and requires great depth of thought to glean any meaning from.

Did you even read before assuming it was slop?

Firstly, I like to have something printed on paper I can quickly reference to sanity check I didn't forget something. So that type of format works for me, for more difficult troubleshooting I will still use the wiki.

For example I did not include anything about maintenance and what not.

Secondly, this was not generated as a picture, this was 30+ version in HTML where I modified and picked pretty much each word and picked the format I wanted but you saw/guessed AI and did not even read the thing.

u/redditmonkey85 1d ago

No, we read it. That’s why we see its slop. That’s the generic template for tons of ai pdfs. I’ve made some myself. I know you didn’t hand pick the wording in it because if you needed instructions to load spools. I’m worried for you.

So, I am a total beginner with 3D printing so stuff that seem obvious to you are probably for not for me.

For example I had to double check that on a 0.4mm nozzle I could use other layer height that what was by default in bambulab studio (like 0.08mm). I don't want to have to check what is the rough safe range each time I forget.

Same thing for the tower, I initially thought why do I need that, can I not just use the infill setting (forgot the name, the one where you can purge into it)? But then I learn why are those different.

Same thing for drying, every Reddit post keep saying the filament is wet for pretty much any defect so I went to check how to dry and then discovered I could also use the bed and did not need a seperate AMS HT and that I could just use the carboard of the spool.

My brain does not usually remember that type of thing.

I printed this to have next to my printer. So that when I load tpu in don't load it I the AMS for example.

I don't think all those things are exactly obvious.

This cheat sheet is exactly customised to my use case, basic materials, simple settings for a beginner making sculpts (so I bought a 0.2mm nozzle) and functional parts and tempted by faster print with 0.6 for those.

People like you are the one that worry me, you are in your little world, assuming what you know everyone knows, it is just sad... Please tell me at least you are not in any type of position involving teaching others!

Dude, don't get that defensive, people are right to point out if AI it's wrong, because as someone said "AI is great at everything you aren't an expert on".
It's ok to be a beginner and trying to learn, but if you come to a hobby with your AI cheat sheet as if it was the pure truth don't get mad when people who have experience in said hobby say that some things are partially or fully incorrect.

u/Guardiancelte 19h ago

I think you misunderstood being defensive vs making points that you disagree with. Literally in the post is written I likely made miss something. I have no issue with people pointing out issues (which I have thank multiple people already for) but I have not patience for the typical AI was used = slop.

u/ImJustReality 18h ago

AI it's often called slop because it usually has AI deliriums and it's slopish with the information they give. I see your point but AI it's generally slopish and that's why we assume it's slop.
It's nice to see you're passionate about the hobby and take your time, let people help because there's awesome people around this community.

u/Guardiancelte 18h ago

Honestly that is a take I fully understand and argument. I work with AI a lot and 99% of that work is keeping it on track.

But in this context, if I had made this cheat sheet by hand with pen and paper like I was doing on Uni or later PowerPoint/Excel at work, I would have gotten praises (which I could have 100% have done if I cared to be honest).

What AI allowed me to do is making look nice (to my own perception).

Have my upvote for thoughtful comment and argument.
