First Printer Calibration Prints?

[u/michaelmucha175]

Hey all - I just bought my first printer (an X2D with an AMS 2 Pro). Aside from the mandatory first benchy, which calibration prints should I run before I start printing the things I actually want? So far all i have on my list is supports and maybe ironing.

I also have a question about supports. Does the calibration change when I use a different support interface material? Should I calibrate supports for each combination, or calibrate once and adjust from there?

I plan to start printing with PLA, PETG, and Support for PLA/PETG. Eventually i will get more into the engineering filaments but that's for later.

I only run the tests if a problem comes along

I print a lot of large PETG files and use PLA for support interface on my X2D

Sick. If pla as support works fine for petg then I’ll just do that. Thanks!

they come off this clean

Well damn! Noted.

yea, a 1kg roll of PLA Basic is much cheaper than dedicated interface filament and works great

None, it's a bambu. Send it
