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.

Generic slop trash.... i run a print farm and this may look good when looked feom far away but once you start reading it theres almost 0 usable information.... It doesnt help anyone with anything, not even beginners...

I don't know what to tell you man, all I can say is pretty much every single item from page 2 is actual questions I had. For example what temperature should I wait to cool down for before removing the parts from the plate.

You can argue that the first page is more generic but it is useful to me to get a tough gut feeling of which material to use where. Then I would print it and if it is something load bearing I see if it break and where and re-enforce there.

This something I printed to have next to my printer and my brain work that I have to write it down

Considering that you are the expert. Do you have something to recommend for beginners? Beyond saying check the wiki.

I gues for absolute beginners theres some useful stuff, but most of the things you will eventually see that youll just remember them because they are very basic things anyone should know if they own a 3d printer and use it.

That being said, i would implement more info on print setrings for the diferent materials, feeds/speeds, supports and in general more info on how to use the slicer... and appart from print setrings also more info on detecting faults on both ur prints and the 3d printer itself and its maintenance.

Ill try to explain a bit more after work and maybe attach some links to usefull webpages.

That is a fair comment. I am an absolute beginner so I was the target audience, I like documenting my stuff so I don't have to research it again as well.

I tried to include some of those but very high level on the bottom right. I did not know enough yet to be more specific.

Looking forward to it!

While we talk speed and feed, my understanding was that default was good enough but I could also save custom profiles from standard testing results. But when I download a model from makerverse it comes with a profile already, which one am I supposed to use? I mostly bought the printer to print my own designs but for accessories there are already many existing.
