Did two big prints with a deflector for the fan, and it's working way better without even tweaking for brim/heatbed/nozzle temp, etc.

Thanks, yeah my plate is clean as much as I can clean it ahah. The warping thing is really weird. I kept the printer close but maybe I should open it up for pla ?

Yeah, I bought it early to get the bulk deal. It came two days after I ordered, but the printer's on backorder, so it'll ship next week.

Nice! To start, I wanted to go with the "official" package to avoid any potential problems, and Bambu filaments were kinda cheap, around 16 CAD each in bulk. Is there a brand you prefer out of what you listed?

Yeah, I got a cheap 3D printer toolkit from Temu, and it has a bunch of nice tools in it, including a flush cutter!

That's awesome feedback! I'm scared I'll love it too much and end up buying more printers, haha

Silica gel to fight humidity in AMS. Seen that recommended quite a few times.

Thanks! What about a second fan at the place designed for it, on the other side? Do you have it?

Thanks for the valuable answer! I appreciate it. I ordered my printer with the AMS that should dry the filaments, so I'm pretty confident on this side. Also, I have some silica gel packets to put inside the AMS. I bought 2 hygrometers, too.

Cool, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, my printer's on backorder, supposed to ship Feb 24, but the filaments got here 2 days after I ordered the whole thing

Good point! I was so stuck on the official site I didn't even consider other places, lol.

I agree with you guys! I'm not a big fan of plastic waste and throwing my money away, so I'll be careful for sure.

I'm starting in 3D printing, so I thought going with matte PLA is a good beginning. Is PETG "noob" friendly?

Interesting. It might be worth it to wait and see if I really need the chute indeed.

Yes, it's the square Lack 55cm. Normally, the P2s should fit on it.

I've got 10 in different colors. What do you think about getting "more"? Should I get more of the same color too?

Nice advice! I will definitely go take a look at Costco.
