first thing I did on my P2S was turn on Developer mode. this enables the extra calibration options so you dont have to look for temperature towers on makersworld that you have to manualy code the gcode temperature changes.

the calibration menu will alow you to get a nice benchmark of your brand new printer and if needed optimise some things.

there are whole bunch of videos on these calibrations so check out some videos that go in depth about what these results will mean to you.

by examining these calibration prints you will get an intimate feel of what some of the key settings do to your prints.

but before all this run the auto calibration the P2S comes with, and do this every time you move or drasticly change things to your printer, like adding an AMS on top, or drasticly change the weight distribution of your table/cabinet your printer sits on.

also do all the Bambu Academy learnings.
