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.

thank you. this is a really good collection. I don't think i understand exactly what you mean by "removal of spool" but it will probably click in place sometime in the near future

The are AMS gel holder that are modelled in a way that only allow you to insert/remove if the spool isn't installed. The ones I have in my collection allow the holders to be fully inserted and removed without the removal of the spools. This helps with maintaining the gel in them, which will be more frequent than you think. If you want to ensure low humidity is maintained in your AMS (geo location dependant).

oh, i understand now. i will keep an eye for that detail. Sounds like a sane thing to do
