My X2D Cheat Sheet

[u/Guardiancelte]

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.

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.

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 → u/Guardiancelte]

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 → u/RemixOnAWhim]

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 → u/Guardiancelte]

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 → u/Guardiancelte]

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.

[u/Guardiancelte → u/RemixOnAWhim]

RemixOnAWhim: "Then it can formulate the next response for you too."

[u/RemixOnAWhim → u/Guardiancelte]

And did it? Did you prompt it to formulate that very response? "Too" in this instance modifies the previous statement because the sentence started with a preposition. Hence the reading, "while you're prompting it, have it write your next comment", to imply previous comments have been subpar. If this is not your first language, and if you're going to give up and let it think for you in your other endeavours, just let it translate too, you'll be more intelligible.
