Good morning, I let myself be caught up in the hype and ordered the H2D yesterday, the basic idea was: P2S is one nozzle too little for me because I print a lot with support and for the H2C the budget is simply not enough. Now I've literally panicked because of the Bowden extruder and it took the joy away from me a bit... I'm worried that I'm now getting overpriced old technology into the house. Quasi a P2S with the smear not to be able to use the entire construction space because of the two nozzles... What do you think? - Just look forward to my first big, closed printer? I look forward to your feedback 🫶🏻☺️

Hoping I could get some help here. For reference, using Bambu Black PLA Basic, 30/30 looks best from the calibration test. Current settings: Ironing speed: 30 mm/s Ironing flow: 30 % Iron line spacing: 0.14mm Ironing inset: 0.1mm Top surface pattern: Monotonic Top shell layers: 10 Sparse infill density: 20% Sparse infill pattern: Gyroid

Hey guys. I have an ender 5 pro for the last few years. While i d it a good printer and it was great at starting off I am thinking of upgrading to the bamboo p2s with ams.. i would like faster more reliable prints now and i think that will be a bit step up from what i have. How many have made that jump and how do you find using p2s with ams

Hi Guys, as a lot of us already run an Etsy Shop, I'd like to start a discussion about Etsy and steps that actually worked for you. (Not just pure product talk) The Etsy algorithm is a big myth and maybe some of you have some gems to share for others. I've read about some shops instantly making sales from the start - for me it was quite the opposite and I adjusted a lot of things along the way. Right now, I am sitting at 50+ sales in the last 2 months, but I still feel like my Listings don't really rank that high. For some reason my Etsy Ads have never met the set amount of 25$ a day. Is this the same for you as well? So please, if you have some gems to share - enlighten the rest of us. 🙏

TL;DR Considering subscriptions for our new 3D business ------------ My boys (15 and 13) and I decided to start a 3D printing business a few months ago, and so far, it's been one of the best decisions we've made as a family for several reasons. Although we're selling a few things and making a bit of money here and there, the journey has been fantastic learning together, attending events, and supporting each other every step of the way. We've found that printing free models from the various 3D marketplaces is fine and could probably take us somewhere. However, I think more specialised designs could be more profitable. The challenge is that some of those designs are usually behind a subscription, which, in fairness, isn't much—until you realize that the products you want to print come from several designers. Then, the total cost of accessing those models becomes more substantial. I know that one option could be learning how to design our own 3D models. While we don't dislike that idea because it's an incredible skill to have, it could take quite a while to learn and make it work for us as a business, especially for the things we like to print. What does everyone think about those subscriptions? Or what do you guys do?
