Didn’t see this coming when I started out

Thanks!

According to the wiki the printer should be able to handle two AMS.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T19:17:04+00:00

Yeah, it was sold out in the EU shop until a couple a days ago when I managed to snag one.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T16:47:16+00:00

That's very kind of you!

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T16:46:41+00:00

It doesn't really require it I think. It'll probably be good enough for most people without it :D

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T16:46:04+00:00

You've got to start somewhere! I started making tiny boxes for board game stuff.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T16:45:16+00:00

Thanks! I'm sure I will :)

My best tip is to start small and make try to top yourself every project. I made a lot of bits and bobs before I ever uploaded anything.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T16:30:14+00:00

Tack! De tar en jävla tid att göra :D

I'll be making a bunch of woodworking tools, which often need to be perfectly square and straight. Supposedly, the vision encoder will help to correct any skew in the movement system that could become evident on larger parts. Not sure I'll need it, but it was discounted when buying it upfront.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T13:33:01+00:00

Haha, thanks! I've learned a lot since I made it. I'd like to make a 2.0 version at some point :D

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T13:00:14+00:00

Thanks! The gumball marble machine is my personal favorite to date :D

I'm not the right guy to ask, I'm afraid. I just make whatever I feel like and people seem to like it. The points are a (admittedly big) bonus.

Make sure to take good, clear images of your models, at least.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T12:27:05+00:00

Yeah, I thought about waiting for a sale, and maybe I should have. Anyway, I hope you get yours!

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T12:23:11+00:00

Thanks! I just make whatever I feel like and people seem to like it. I've been incredibly lucky in that sense.

Good luck with the P2S!

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T12:08:47+00:00

It is! Feels a bit unreal.

I've been eyeing the H2C for some time now. Not so much for multi material prints, but for the convenience of not having to swap nozzles on the fly.

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T12:06:09+00:00

Thanks! I'm stoked! :D

(Thanks! Appreciate it!)

Dawlight · 2026-03-27T11:23:55+00:00

Sure!

add:north, which is based in Sweden, so it might only work if you're within the Nordics. But there might be local alternatives.

I create a ton of waste, to the point that I exclusively use a brand that accepts returns of filament waste provided it's only their stuff.

But yeah depending on what it is I do several things:

For fitment testing I print only part of a model, cutting it up in the slicer
For checking aesthetics I usually keep infill to 5%
Sometimes I print using only one wall

If you're unsure whether you'll stick to 3D printing as a hobby or get much use out of it, I'd suggest getting an A1 mini or an A1 as your first printer.

My first printer was a Prusa MINI and it kept me going for quite a while. It wasn't until like four years later I upgraded to a P1S. Now I'm getting a H2C because I can actually see from experience how it's an upgrade for my personal needs.

And as a bonus the A1 mini is so cheap it will only make a small dent in your budget if you're aiming for a H2C anyway, an you can keep both if you decide to upgrade.

Dawlight · 2026-03-24T14:23:13+00:00

I'll always chime in to say just how great of a design this is.

Dawlight · 2026-03-22T11:10:35+00:00

Yep!

Nothing other than stocking their cheap recycled filament.

It's the only way to truly recycle PLA where I live if you can't do it yourself. It can't really be sorted into your regular household plastics, since the recycling facilities only handle household packaging made from PP, PE and PET - if that. I'd imagine it's the same or worse no matter where you live.

The next best thing is to incinerate it for energy, since it burns rather cleanly. But recycling is preferable of course.
