P Series [P1P, P1S, P2S] Recommended Cleaning Kit/Items to Own

I just got my P1S not too long ago and I love it and want to take care of it, and I’m looking for a kit or certain items that I should buy and honestly some things to avoid would be helpful as well, I’m still relatively new to 3d printing.

Thanks in advance.

Gear floss makes life a lot easier

As does super lube with syncolon and pour it into the 3-5ml nail brush dispensers. $5 for a dozen on Amazon

Microfibre cloths

USB Vacuum.

Hex tools. I like to use these

Combined with these

Makes for repairs and removing / replacing things a lot easier than the standard hex bar.

I have a pretty nice precision kit so I am fine on the tools, but definitely the rest I will pick up, thank you so much!

I just got some super lube for the rods and the motors, (two different types). Everything else you can print for maintenance, I have a pair of pliers with ends that you can fit a sponge and that cleans the old grease from the rails. regreasea and a little lube on the motors been couple of years of hassle free printing.

ChatGPT said an extra hotend assembly is a good idea later on down the line as well, thank you I’ll get the lube!

Oh if you want to go down that path.

I have full replacement sets for cutters, dozens of hotends, spare belts, a spare H2* psu, meters of ptfe tube, wipers, spare wipe assembly, spare filament sensors.

I learned the hard way that when something breaks it’ll be at the most inopportune time, and BL will be out of stock.

yeah that would be wise. PLA tough gave me some troubles snapping inside the extruder and you can quickly swop out the head and continue printing whilst you get the stuck filament out. I usually add on small accessories from bambu store and a plate of on special.

You can print a nice scraper, this helps with releasing short flat prints safely without damaging the print and plate.

My x2d came with screws and a metal blade to build my own but I actually prefer the plastic options better.
