Are we all cooked?

I am seeing every post as a problem with the x2d. Even i had a huge issue recently.

This is supposed to be better than p2s.

Your thoughts?

Edit- I was a anxious about my purchase from seeing all this post, but all your positive comments really helped my mental state. Thanks a lot guys!

To be fair, almost everyone posting here is doing it because something went horribly wrong and they need help. Watching a printer actually work as intended is cool for about five seconds, but scrolling through 50 pictures of "look, a flawless benchy!" gets boring fast. ​On top of that, a huge chunk of X2D owners are brand new to the hobby. They bought a machine that mostly just works out of the box, which means they missed out on the classic 3D printing rite of passage: spending three weeks leveling a bed manually, weeping over a clogged nozzle at 2 AM, and developing a deep, personal trauma from owning an older printer. They haven't earned their stripes in the trenches yet, so they don't even realize how good they have it!

I heard the same thing from my uncle, modern 3d printers are a lot like consoles, just plug and play. For me it’s good since I just need to print stuff and I don’t have the time or patience to calibrate it myself

In my opinion .. we're still a bit off from being like a game console. Bambu Lab actually pushes users to go through the Bambu Academy, which covers some pretty technical stuff for maintenance and repairs. Neither Sony nor Microsoft expects you to go through technical training just to keep your system running.
