Hey guys, I’ve got little to no knowledge on 3D printing and even less experience, so go easy on me. I will most likely be using words I don’t understand.
I live in a hot and humid country in the EU, and given my circumstances and the aforementioned lack of knowledge, I’m considering a closed enclosure model from the company everyone hates because it’s cheap, available, and famed for its ease of use.
I’m no stranger to tinkering with everything, but I do want to get started with something that’s just plug and play (or close enough to it). And even after I jailbreak it (which I assume is possible?), I really don’t want the tinkering to be part of the hobby itself.
My questions are: Size: Would I regret getting a 256x256x256 mm^3 sized one? Most prints I’ve seen fit easily, but there are a few that require more space.
Filaments: Where to buy, how to store, are all of them compatible with extruder-type printers? How do I check?
Accessories: I’ve seen nozzles and accessory packs being sold but I have no idea what they’re for. Can I print upgrades? Also what the heck does the Combo printer add-on do?
Alternatives: I’m not married to the P2S. Feel free to suggest alternatives. Thanks!
If you’ve found your way to Lemmy you likely care enough about not being exploited by evil companies to make a better choice than Bambu. Wouldn’t sweat the learning curve too much with whatever system you choose. There are great resources to help and the 3d printing community is just awesome. It’s a hobby that you’ll never feel alone in.
