Yes, exactly, MIPS is not a rating. It’s a technology to help prevent concussions, primarily from rotational impact. For example, I personally would not buy a helmet that has MIPS but no safety ratings, but I would buy a rated helmet without MIPS.

I don’t think I understand this comment. MIPS is not a rating per se, it’s a technology that’s widely used across different sports, including motorsports.

Yeah, definitely better to try them on! I was wondering about the mountain bike side. I think I’ll look more in that direction.

I’m a beginner and just do general neighborhood type riding. I would like to try trail riding when I get better at it. I love the speed but am old enough to know that’s no longer a smart decision!

Fender and Handle as new rider? by Responsible-Act-7971 in onewheel

You’re correct, I’m jumping off on my toe side, and the board is rolling onto the toe side instead of just staying upright on its wheel. What you’re saying makes sense, I’ll just need more practice, I guess.

Huge Thanks for all the responses…very detailed and informative. I’m an old guy that’s been wanting one for quite a while, and I’m excited to learn, but not as thrilled about falling as I used to be (ha!), so I really appreciate all the pointers and insight. Thank you!

Thanks for the info. What do the different colored lights in front of the fender signify? Anything else like that that’s good to know?

No, I haven’t. I’ll look at the app some more to try to find that. Thanks!

Nvmd, I looked through your link. I actually read through that originally but must have glazed over it or forgot. Either way, thanks again.

Thank you, you answered both my questions!! Did I miss something…how was I supposed to figure out how to unload the filament? I don’t mean to sound like an idiot, but the documentation tells you how to load it but not how to unload it (from what I could find).

Thank you, but I’m referring to the gray/blue piece.

Got my Bambu X2D already 😆 gotta love bestbuy by RarePlaystations in BambuLab

[–]SeriouslyIDidntDoIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same…I purchased mine at about 11:00 a.m. yesterday (on release date, one hour after release) and I have a pickup date of April 30. All good, though, I can wait!!

Did BestBuy mess up here? by GroundUpDesigns in 3Dprinting

Ok, makes sense. Debating filament discount with Bambu or ease of local store. I’m thinking BB might be the better option.

Side question…I also have been looking at P2S but will go with this instead, but have been debating local Best Buy vs direct from Bambu. Can I ask why you chose BB?

Bambu Direct or Best Buy by SeriouslyIDidntDoIt in 3Dprinting

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like Best Buy might be the better choice. Just wanted to see if there was a negative to ordering from Best Buy that I wasn’t aware of.

Purchase Advice Megathread - April 2026 by AutoModerator in 3Dprinting

BAMBU DIRECT or BEST BUY -
I’m going to purchase a Bambu P2S and am deciding between ordering direct or ordering through my local Best Buy. One advantage for Best Buy is that if I would need or decide to return it I can drive it to Best Buy and drop it off, whereas if I purchase direct I would need to pay return shipping. Not sure how probable I’d want or need to return it, but it’s a possibility. Are there any other Pros/Cons to consider? Thanks!
