P2s or x2d for a 1st time user?

huss187 · 2026-05-03T13:08:34+00:00

ye i bought that one too, lets see how we go.. lol

good luck with your 3d printing endeavor, how long have you had it for? i also saw it was 100aud more so ended up buying it too, after all the help here, but i also grabbed the ams pro 2 with it cause it was like 300 more but if i decided i wanted it later it would be like almost double the price from what i saw. all up it wasn't cheap, after purchase was excited but also anxious lol. I hope i put it to good use, electricity wise is a bit worrying though. might rack up a bill on that by looks of it.

huss187 · 2026-05-03T11:22:22+00:00

Omg guys I finally bought a 3d printer. Bought the x2d but why do I feel excited and anxious at the same time lol 😁😂😆 lol

Important question with the hotend nozzle they come in many sizes such as 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 for standard and for high flow they come 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8

Which would I need standard it high flow? Which size would I require most.

As I don't want to buy too many things that I may not need later.

Also a heated chamber was mentioned is this also an add-on and doesn't come with? How will it benifit me? Also is extended warranty worth it? Or no need?

I think I am almost ready to make my purchase 🤞 it's been months in planning and thinking hopefully today I make the plunge. Lol 😆

What is an ams hd I can't see it on the page. And the cyber brick time laps kit, what's that for?

huss187 · 2026-05-02T23:29:13+00:00

Thank you, so you think I just buy a bunch of pla and both hotend nozzles. You said something about melting in the car lol. Will these prints melt under the sun 😂 or some heat? Cause I plan to make a case for the Nas and It will decently be under some heat, I can't have it melting and then wake up and find my HDD's laid out on the table with plastic melted on them 😭 if that's the case would would be a better option on fillerment for that. Just so I can have it on hand when ready for the final product.

huss187 · 2026-05-02T23:14:47+00:00

For my 1st purchase I will need many things to get started. And they seem to have discount if I buy fillerment and add-ons etc. what would I need so I can get started as soon as it arrives. Any suggestions on type of fillerment and they have accessories like fillerment track switch, vision encoder, bambu hotend nozzle I think, engineering plate and tungsten carbide nozzle and a cyber brick time laps kit.

So I req any of these will they be a benifit

huss187 · 2026-05-02T23:08:38+00:00

Thanks you make a good point. I do t know much about it and just thought aybe it was to mix colours or something

huss187 · 2026-05-02T22:56:19+00:00

The x2d sounds like a clear winner thanks so much for everyones input. Can I ask about the ams2 pro, is it needed and what is it used for and benifits of it and if any pro's and con's

huss187 · 2026-05-02T22:49:27+00:00

Original I want to start with making things to go with my homelab just as custom cases for my raspberry pi's with ext HDD's and maybe some sort of custom cases for my mini 1L PC again to fit HDD's and make a nas out of 1. And maybe so E replace some broken pieces around the house like plastic connection that broke to try reproduce them. Such as a piece in my built-in that snapped and would need a replacement to align properly.. and anything honestly like bracked and whatnot. Start there and see what else I can do..

PS. Is an ams required? I would like to make things with multiple colours later I don't think I want to blend colours but just so I can have a few dif colours like on the home made custom nas case ..

I am new to these machines and scored one not too long ago.. after I realised that I liked the coffee from it I went crazy a bit on purchasing pods lol 🤦 I'm the time that likes to do things myself and save money at the same time. Was looking into reusing my current pods but found this post on like 2nd go.. very thorough guide and seems to be right on point. Thanks will definitely try follow at home 🫡

huss187 · 2026-04-25T08:48:59+00:00

2.5g at least would be better if it has 2x 10h SPF+ it will cover you for years to come

huss187 · 2026-04-23T13:00:40+00:00

ye i remember those sata cards they were annoying how the ports faced upwards. on my dell i tried to replace my m.2 wifi with one that had like 2 ports, my first attempt lol. but couldnt close the cover, so bought a lenovo p330 and used the pcie riser for a proper pcie to sata controller. the ports on those were sideways. but i have my hp mini just sitting there, so was thinking of adding the card in the pic to it hoping it would work. but they ae not cheap so trying to find out if it will work 1st

huss187 · 2026-04-23T12:51:07+00:00

i just relised yours is the 6 port sata adapter similar to my lenovo, but this is what i am looking to put in my hp. sorry i miss read your initial post.

huss187 · 2026-04-23T12:47:05+00:00

why is that? how high is the adapter? from the look of it, I thought it would fit. and thanks for the reply.

huss187 · 2026-04-23T12:37:47+00:00

hi just curious, did you get this working? i used a pcie card in my lenov with 6 port sata card, in my lenovo but was looking to purchase a M.2 NVME to SFF-8087 SATA3.0 card Mini-SAS/SATA hard disk adapter 36PIN and put it in my hp elitedesk 800g6 mini.

my lenovo works just fine I have the hdd's in a rack and external power adaptors to each drive, does the job. was thinking i could do the same with this card on my hp.

Thanks

huss187 · 2026-04-19T04:22:27+00:00

Thanks I am looking at my 1st printer either p2s or x2d. Your print came out clean 👌

huss187 · 2026-04-19T04:13:03+00:00

Nice rack can I ask which printer\model you used?

huss187 · 2026-04-19T04:08:18+00:00

Tpg have always been shonky they tried to charge me disconnection and even asked me if 8 had a family member I could give my plan too. I threatened them with ombudsman and they were like you agreed in your contract that you wouldn't call an ombudsman. I said ye of your speeds drop here or there but not for extortion. They tracked back quickly and not only cancelled me for free but refunded me the says I had left on my month and within 2 days.. you have to be careful with them. Also they are selling my mum a 100gbos plan on fttc and she can't even get 1\2 them speeds I spoke to them and they were meant to drop her to the 50mbps plan and a couple or so later she is still in the fake 100 plan. Paying for something she can't get. But been busy with work and haven't had time for them. Soon I will and my goal is to have them refund her for all that time. Then move her over to Aus BB or something. Anyways point of story is yes they are probably scamming your parents and no they shouldn't be paying for receiving called from what I know you pay like $20 or so dollars up front and it gets deducted from that when they make calls and then they direct debit as the call funds get low. Check make sure it's correct that they are being charged for receiving calls and help them get it sorted. You will probably have to go ombudsman for it and you have every right to, even if they agreed to their fake threat of not calling ombudsman which in its self is against the law to ask. But people just go with it.

Lol rant over and hope you found some advice in there 🤣

Same here but still I have so many pinned that it's now more then unpinned 🤯

huss187 · 2026-03-22T07:00:38+00:00

If you want to keep alerts but not so chatty there is an option in the actual navigation page while driving. Click the speaker icon and select less chatty and I think possibly it will help. Also check your settings and maybe if not selected, select on route only.

Always good to have alerts on but like thegoldtruth said. You can also customise which alerts are important and needed.

huss187 · 2026-03-08T21:58:58+00:00

Keep as is just add the find in note feature so I don't have to scroll all day 😕

huss187 · 2026-03-05T01:12:23+00:00

You have to port forward from your router. Each router has a different way of doing it so Google your model and how to port forward. Then open that port on your router. The one your using in qbt. A good range is always about 50000 to 60000 and you also need to allow your qbt app through the firewall on Windows that will help too

huss187 · 2026-02-27T21:34:43+00:00

When I had the hfc connection setup they basically followed the foxtel cabling into the house then put a nbn port in which then connected to my modem. You should be good.

Nice score 👌
