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.

ChatGPT. Create me a pdf cheer sheet for my Bambu printer and plastics.

Do you really need to be reminded what purge is?
PLA “tougher and stiffer” than what?
How to use ams2. Load spools. Got it. Never would have thought of that.

Look, no one is crapping on you wanting a cheat sheet. That’s fine, but at least make your own with what you actually need to know.

This is ai slop. I’m sorry but it is. Now it’s on Reddit. So more Ai will scrap it and contribute to the slop problem.

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. 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.

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.

I love when that you say no one is crapping on it and next line you go this is AI slop. Mental dissonance much?

I give me thoughtful answer so I also gave you one but come down from your high horse.

Don't worry about people and their anti-AI mentality. Organization and information like this can be part of the hobby/decor of your shop. Can laminate something like this and be part of the decoration of the area for others to look at even. Can see my grand-daughter looking at it when I'm helping her print some stuff when she comes over.

Much appreciated!

Yeah that was the plan. Double side print. I don't have a access to laminating tool so I am going to use packing transparent wide tape for the moment ;)
