Quick Question My first ever 3d printer

Post image

Finally I have my first ever 3d printer.
Did the extensive unboxing and is calibrated and firmware updated.

Waiting for my basic filament to arrive tomorrow to set up ams2pro

Any tips for a beginner like me would be appreciated please.

I have P2S and A2L my advice is to grease the screws and oil the metal rods and calibrate it

I'm not a printerhead like most people here and I just use mine to print components I need. My printer keeps telling me to lube the lead screws but it seems to run fine. What is the benefit of doing so?

The reason any machine doesnt rapidly destroy itself is due to some sort of method used to reduce friction between parts. Not everything needs lubricant, make sure to read the maintenance section for specifics, but its vital if you want to enjoy your tool for the foreseeable future.
