Random 3D printing chatter

Just ordered an A1 mini for the kiddo (and maybe me....) for Crimbo.

I also opted for an AMS 2 Pro, which kinda feels silly as more expensive than the printer... But justifying it in that it's only £70 more than the AMS lite with the Black Friday prices, and handles drying etc too. Plus I am fully expecting the A1 mini to be a gateway, so will likely get an XY at some point that the AMS can just move to.......

Got 4 reels of PLA in different colours, and a reel of PETG if I want to try something more hardwearing...

Any other accessory / consumable recommendations for stress free Xmas day night / boxing day printing? :D

As boring as it sounds, id get a hardened steel nozzle or 2 spare.

.2 and .4 sizes incase you want to print any abrasive filaments or anything more "detailed"

Seems like X2D combo is on offer as well!

Yep - had to talk myself out of that for work, as don't think it offers enough over our existing P2S.
Also considered a H2S, but again outside of a few niche use cases, I don't think there's enough big stuff we would print (not helped by there not being a H2S bed size filter on Makerworld).

Going to wait and likely get the P3C, as that will be a decent upgrade in terms of speed/filament saving for some of the multi colour printing we do.
 
H3C teasers Keep on coming. Different nozzles and filaments seemingly in the same print

Got an A1 Combo setup today and I have been reading about PETG and the humidity, as well as PLA, and had a look at the Sunlu AMS Lite enclosure. I have read a couple of reviews but do any OCUK members have any experience with the Sunlu enclosure?
