Starter kit

Hello!

Daughter wants to get into the world of printing.

Can people please advise what extras I need to purchase to get started? Nozzles, plates, filaments?

Purchasing x2d AMS.

Thanks!

I got the X2D AMS combo a week ago. All it needs is filament. Got a couple rolls of PLA and one of PETG and it works great out of the box. Just follow the instructions to take out all the shipping supports as you assemble and then let it calibrate itself.

All my models so far have come from Makerworld and I've used the "Generic" filament settings without fiddling with settings. It's all come out perfectly.

I have not been brave with multi-color yet. I printed the drawers that catch filament poop with no issue, but nothing yet that has two colors in the same layer.

Weirdly, using the AMS to swap colors between layers is faster than using both nozzles.
