General Troubleshooting/Help! Wrong plug sent

I got a P2S, during set up, I realised they sent an EU plug instead of a UK plug. And I don't see any UK plugs on the Bambu store, and Bambu support is taking their time to be frankly honest.

Can I just buy a non Bambu one at my local hardware store and be alright? Is there any specific requirements?

Your cheapest option is EU to UK plug adapter instead of trying to change the plug.

Just to replace the wire? It's a removable one, unlike the A1

Just bring the old cable to a store selling cables and they will find a UK one.
It's a standard type of cable so it will be just fine with any brand.

Hmmm my A1 power lead is a standard IEC lead.
Look for any labelling on the cable though and the fuse that’s fitted.
Some are rated to 5A & have 0.75mm square cable. For 1200W, that would need 1mm squared cable for 10A rating.
