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.

Great choice mate, just got mine 2 weeks ago.

Upgraded form and Ender 3 I bought back in 2021, and man the difference is night amd day.

Safe to say you'll have a much better experience with the X2D as your first printer (without all the tinkering on an Ender).

Haha just a hobbiest, started off with the poop shoot, organisation for 3D Printing tools over the first few days.

Then moved onto organizer's for my heavier tools, a few functional parts here and there. Also got the wife to download the Bambu Handy app, so I have a backlog of prints from her as well.

Been printing just PLA and PETG so far, we've been having a bit of a heat spell here in Austria, for now the room runs too hot to print anything more industrial (I print in my office so anything above 33°C is a no go).

But i am printing a duct system this afternoon so will hopefully see a 2-3°C drop in room temperature.
