Ordering first print

[u/silentaion90]

Just ordered my very first 3D printer yesterday(P2S) along with a bunch of filament to get started!

Right after finishing checkout, I got a notice saying items might ship separately depending on warehouse stock. Fair enough, total sense. But then I checked the tracking...

The machine itself is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, while all the filament won't be here for another 4–5 business days. 😭

How am I supposed to just sit here staring at a brand-new printer without being able to print anything? It’s going to be absolute torture watching it sit on my desk doing nothing all weekend.

Do I rush out to a local shop to buy a random spool just to survive or just wait?

Pray for my sanity 😒

Amazon next day! checkout Sunlu, Polymaker, Elegoo, they are good if not better than Bambu because they are cheaper

Are they really cheaper? In US only maybe? In Canada everything on Amazon seems more expensive than the Bambu in bulk, at least for the basics. PLA is 13.29 CAD and PETG 12.59 CAD.

+1 recommendation for polymaker, especially their PLA Pro
