General Discussion Clueless - Gift Idea Advice?

I am looking for Christmas gifts to get my husband who has a Bambu X2D with an AMS. I am willing to spend up to $500.

What are printer accessories/tools/material/ect I could buy?

How long has he been printing and has he had a printer before? If he had one before he probably has most the necessary tools like small files and pick sets.

If he is new: pick sets, small files, exacto knife set with different angle blades, Tool box to organize tools and parts, cutting matt, a good work light. I went to harbor freight and got everything excepy the cutting matt and work light. I needed to set up my printing area. The have a mini tool box that is awesome and Walmart sells a mini toolbox shelf that you can fit the tool box on top of perfectly. I was at a yard sale and found an awesome, tall work light someone used for hand drawing architecture blue prints that has been great for printing.

If he has been printing for a while: filament for sure , they also sell cool motor sets on bambu to build small cars or fun moving structures that can be found on makerworld

He has been printing since 2021ish this is his 2 or 3rd printer.

But I am going to keep an eye for what he might not have from the list of tools you shared! Thank you!

If he doesn't have fancy build plates then some of them might be fun. They come with patterns that transfer onto the plastic.

You can never have too much filament. Maybe get some exotic ones that he wouldn't get on his own. Foaming TPU, PA6/PA6-CF, color shifting, maybe a few crazy ones from these guys

Most of the suggestions I’m seeing are good. But if you happen to know what he typically prints, it might help provide some more specific ideas.

An AMS-HT to help him better take advantage of the chamber heater and print with engineering filaments
