H2 is a great printer

Post by coyn »

I built my H2 last week. After putting about 32 hours of print time on it over the weekend, I have to say that this is a great setup. It's my first printer and it went together and prints great.

magicmarc, unless you've got a heated bed installed, there's no way you can print ABS on the H2.

Adding a heated bed is pretty easy though - you can install the Onyx heated bed for the Orion and then replace your stock power supply with a larger one. I've been told an XBox power supply can be used, but since I don't have the details (yet), I can't give you a recommendation on that.

Washable glue stick on the glass will hold ABS pretty well.
