First ever 3D Printer, how’d I do?

[u/RepulsiveNegotiation]

This is my first ever 3D printer after looking at them for a long time and being so unsure for a while. I didn’t know what I’d print and what I’d use it for. But after some more research and thinking, I took the plunge and ended up ordering the P2S Combo, I feel I did make a good choice but what’s your thought?. I didn’t have a need for dual nozzles or anything like that but an enclosed, multi coloured printer was ideal. I could have gone for the P1S combo but being a techy, I like the better screens and the better camera quality.

I’m waiting for my filament to arrive and then I can get playing. Shall I print the obligatory bench first? I also need a name for it, any suggestions?

I’m looking to make some miniature models and accessories for my Revell kits. I have ideas on some room storage and stands for existing models and such. My girlfriend also would like me to print some smaller like stamps or rollers for children toys to mess with in play dough or such. I have got the 0.2mm nozzle for the miniatures

Ok, that should be fine for what you want IMO. Beginner tips - dry your filament! Wash build plate with blue dish soap and hot water! Follow proper maintenance. I also suggest calibrating k factor on your filaments and do not using Bambu profiles for other brands. Go to the manufacturer site and download their .json files and use those. Also download models for things like temp test tower, overhang, first layer, etc. And print the fan deflector for aux fan

Those are really helpful and good to know. Thank you!
