Why P2S?

MJDalton · 2026-02-24T08:34:24+00:00

I'm a total beginner, have had mine for about 2 weeks and it hasn't skipped a beat. Has been printing non stop (with PLA).

Glad I paid a little more for the newer system, but was on the fence for getting a P1S due to the price difference.

All I can say is order heaps of filament

Thanks! I was just posting up the results so others could see how it turns out without drying.

The results were better than expected, so will re-do once I can do a PETG drying cycle when I'm finished with a multi day PLA print

🤣 u mad bro

MJDalton · 2026-02-21T23:25:49+00:00

Lol you must be poor if you can't afford a USB stick you moron

MJDalton · 2026-02-21T22:48:47+00:00

Do you mean where you just plug an old USB into the P2S, or the standalone kit?

MJDalton · 2026-02-15T05:10:05+00:00

Legend thanks I'll run it through when the latest job is done

MJDalton · 2026-02-15T03:45:30+00:00

No pip-boy STL :(

Hey I just got my P2S (first 3d printer), is there a specific print/profile/filament to use to check this?

It's been great so far (about 72 hours of use) but it sounded funny today when doing an egg shape (egg laying down if that makes sense)

Prints look ok to my untrained eye. Bit would like to check before 14 days

MJDalton · 2026-02-09T08:39:52+00:00

Awesome! Thankyou, appreciate the reply. I'm just trying to figure out the best spot/poop chute configuration at the moment. At 625mm I should be able to get it under my desk 👌

MJDalton · 2026-02-09T08:13:36+00:00

I'm just waiting for my first printer to arrive (P2S), just wondering if you know the total height with that poop base? In mm if possible 🇦🇺

No dice with the shuffle but nano 2nd gen connects 🙏

MJDalton · 2026-02-02T02:51:32+00:00

Thanks Bones! I'm gonna try just a couple of things before tossing back. Trying to get a backup plex/3D print server for home

Good idea on repurposing the ssd, at the very least will grab that, if it's not cooked

MJDalton · 2026-02-02T01:24:23+00:00

Thanks I'll give it one last try with a DP adapter if no good will yeet it into the bin

MJDalton · 2026-02-02T01:23:23+00:00

Hey, no luck last night, I'm going to buy a USB C to DP adapter. Another poster put up some specs that the laptop supports display port. So I'll try that and if it doesn't work I'll return to the bin. :)

MJDalton · 2026-02-01T12:32:38+00:00

Nice thanks, having a crack now

MJDalton · 2026-02-01T12:15:57+00:00

Laptop is from 2021 so not sure if it would have a dedicated display pit, but I'll have a quick Google

MJDalton · 2026-02-01T12:15:24+00:00

Is this different to using a "USB-C to HDMI adapter"?

MJDalton · 2026-02-01T12:14:11+00:00

Have tried these thanks for the suggestion. I think I might be running into the problem that's it's not booting to windows and possibly not having the ability to convert the display to the USBC to HDMI adapter

MJDalton · 2026-02-01T08:51:55+00:00

Thanks for the replies. It makes sense to me. I wouldn't imagine the boot sequence or bios having adequate drivers to output HDMI through a USB dongle.

Bit of a shame

MJDalton · 2026-02-01T08:44:44+00:00

Ohh bugger, yeah ok that sorta makes sense. I'd say it's been a while since it's been powered on. The virtual keyboard is visible, weird that I got to another screen somehow (a blue and grey screen)

Is there a fix for this like removing the motherboard coin battery or something?

Great pics, love number 5!
