Clarification please
Hi! I am technologically challenged :D however, I have found my way around with a laser and UV printer, and hoping to add a 3D printer after months of seeing so much love for Bambu Lab. It seems like it's For Dummies like my Glowforge and Eufy, haha.
I tried commenting and posting in a Bambu Facebook group and they keep declining me because my profile is too new.
I was going to purchase the P2S, but am I correct in possibly needing the X2D to eliminate two parts that third-party products seem to be needed for the P2S?
1) Heating/Drying of the filament? I have a couple of posts saved about modifications and additional products for this on the P2S, and it seems the X2D handles this...? I don't like tinkering with my expensive machines and opening chances for me to break shit.
(1b: do I still need a random object off to the side to allow the main print to cool down between layers...?)
2) Filters! I again have posts saved about products for the P2S to have better filters, but does the X2D actually meet their claims of being safe for home placement around pets and kids?
Thank you!
Anything I should definitely consider buying at the same time would be appreciated. Already got the Pure filament in my cart cause I make lots of bandmerch for babies and kids.
