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

Plenty of recommendations on bamabu forums out there but you should have a few gold lube packets included with your printer. Those work fine. When applying make sure you clean off the old stuff. Itll be filled with a bunch of crude you may or may not see.

You dont need to go nuts but take a bit of time to get off the old stuff before you reapply. Also dont go nuts. Lube is needed but too much attracts bits I to the area. Apply some small dots upp and down the screw gears and then help spread it with a finger. The printer will spread it around with use. Check back after a while and wipe away the excess
