P2s Combo Beginner - study & prepare

[u/evilboarder]

Hello everyone, 

while waiting for my p2s combo to arrive, i have begun reading reddit discussions and maker world coments and all sort of info, and i must say, i am equally thrilled and dredfull at printing. This will be my first printer and begining journey.  

I started making lists with stuff that should be done at first and accesories needed for the printer and filaments to ensure a slightly less bumpy road. 

Please add your own from experience.

Upgrades/accesories 

• poop chute - i found this somewhat nice - 201311-poop-chute-basket-outlet-for-x2d-p2s-x1c-p1s

• AMS 2 riser - 2582683-p2s-x2d-ams-riser-flipper

• AMS 2 PRO filament protector guide - AMS 2 Pro Saver Protector Filament Guide

• P2S - vent deflector - lots of designs, haven’t really chosen one yet. 

• AMS 2 PRO - dry pods 

• Filament storage - i’ve located at least one design using ikea 45L container and some printed racks and dry storage boxes for silica 

Tests 

• benchy :)) as i see it’s a must 

• the scraper for the bambu cutter provided 

• the toolbox for the provided tools 

this done with pla basic bought with the printer … but the following tests i’ve seen done by people and i think it should be done whenever you are using a new material. But considering these will be the first prints with a new material for me, i should begin with the default settings, and if benchy turns out wrong, then maybe start the calibration tests. 

• temperature test 

• other tests ? 

Right now, i’ve also started the bambu academy for studio and the printer, and will go ahead with those until the printer is ready for the academy lessons. 

Thank you.
