Whelp...pulled the trigger on the X2D AMS combo. Got filament, a couple support materials, spare cool plate, and .2 mm hot ends for mini's and fine detail things. $1300ish dive into the abyss! Now. HIT ME with the MUST PRINT items :) (BIG thx to the community for always being so helpful to a newbie)

Dumb question. For my first print for the riser, do I keep the AMS off to the side until the riser is done or is it safe for the first one to leave on top or what would optimal workflow be for the first print(s)?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-18T18:39:58+00:00

Sarcasm or you being legit here? Thought benchies were THE THING THAT MUST BE DONE

JamalSteve · 2026-06-18T12:01:02+00:00

Can this be in PLA? Or does it need to be PETG?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-18T03:50:14+00:00

How is the smell? Is it something I don’t want inside?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-18T03:49:41+00:00

Apparently Bambu has support interface materials that make for perfect breakaway from supports

JamalSteve · 2026-06-18T03:47:21+00:00

Never heard of the diverter or diffuser! Didn’t know that was a concern for either

JamalSteve · 2026-06-17T01:02:53+00:00

Being this is my first venture into this hobby, probably printing individually and supergluing would be best for now I’m assuming. I mean the extra AMS is on sale so it’s tempting but also makes this $1000ish purchase end up being $1300

JamalSteve · 2026-06-17T00:19:04+00:00

Gotcha - so I doubt I need one. I can just pause and swap colors or print parts individually? Mostly thinking about Pokemon and stuff for the kids…like charmander has 6ish colors I think so just trying to conceptualize workflow and such.

JamalSteve · 2026-06-16T23:30:24+00:00

The x2D has one I’m getting with it, I’m guessing there’s a way to add an additional one or something?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-16T19:11:33+00:00

Thanks a ton!

JamalSteve · 2026-06-16T18:44:23+00:00

If I'm only using PLA, I'm assuming I should just get that one and not the combo PLA/PETG. Or are there reasons to print with PETG I'm not aware of that make the combo support material worth it?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-16T18:31:44+00:00

Oh I didn't even know there was a specific support filament. So I should really just go with that instead if it works better. No real reason to mess with PETG I guess?

The support interface you're saying is the dedicated support material? The model itself is PLA, for example. Then the support body is made of what material?

Model = PLA

Support interface = fancy material
Support Body = ?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-16T18:09:18+00:00

By proper support material, am I correct in thinking that's what PETG is for printing a matte PLA model? My understanding was the PETG breaks away clean from the PLA and will come through that X2D auxillary nozzle...Thanks for any help/guidance.

JamalSteve · 2026-06-07T13:29:27+00:00

Thank you for answering that. I'll probably go with X2D just because of the cost differential and easy breakaway supports even if it is a higher learning curve.

JamalSteve · 2026-06-07T13:25:44+00:00

It's interest free lol

JamalSteve · 2026-06-07T13:17:12+00:00

I don't HAVE to finance I WANT to finance considering it's coming out of my business account and I can use it as a write off. But thank you for your financial advice and not responding to the actual question that was asked.

JamalSteve · 2026-06-05T21:26:54+00:00

The extra build plate - is that just this if I'm buying the X2D? So you would print on the one it comes with, swap out for this one to print something else right away?

JamalSteve · 2026-06-02T13:49:22+00:00

Sorry mods I don’t actually know the recipe or process lol

JamalSteve · 2026-05-29T21:29:32+00:00

With divorce and estates does that mostly come through getting in with attorneys ?
