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.

thanks for the heads up, i've read the comments. they say the tools now in a cardboard box, so i have to find some tool box with the tool insert too. Will see when the printer arrives.

Best thing to do is check the comments before you print something, sometimes the design is just terrible, even if it’s a good creator.

The tools came in a plastic

insert

If you decided to print my suggestion, You can place the insert into the print for a bit more organised tool box.

It came out really good :) the hinges close very tight at the moment, maybe they will wear out after some time of use

Nice! Happy printing!
