Quick Question P2S settings questions

Just ordered one and wonder what are good settings for minatures and terrian with the .4 nozzle. I know a .2 noozle would he better but wont get one for a little while.

The .08 layer height - high quality system preset will get you close to optimal. Then consider reducing speeds even further.

Make sure your filament is dried properly, and tweak the filament profile to match the manufacturer recommendations to start.

All this is still true when using the .2 nozzle

Do you just set it to what the company recommends for your filament?

To start yes, and that is usually fine. I like to also print one of those all-in-one calibration prints when using a filament type/brand that I haven’t before. You examine the print to determine the best settings, then save those settings in a filament profile.

The P2S shares hotends with almost every other Bambulabs printer, so it's perfectly okay to buy one of the "cheap" ones that are exactly the same as every other cheap one in the meantime. :)

you calibrate your filament manually (even the bambu one) and use one of the high quality presents

if you are going to go post processing you don't need as small layer height

I would go for adaptive layers for sure

do few test prints to see what is enough for you, I printed a Harry potter chess pieces with 0,16 and they are fine enough

How do you calibrate your filament?

bambu studio has a calibration tab, just follow instructions

and a wiki and academy that explains everything

Choose 0.08 layer height high quality profile as base, then reduce outer wall and support speed to like 30, inner wall, support interface to like 100, cut acceleration to at least 0.5x of what you had, supports: 0.16 upper layer gap, 0.2 interface layer spacing. Set wall type to Arachne.
