My first design! It’s extremely simple and definitely not perfect, but it works for what we needed (curtain tie). I designed it in GF, exported to Silhouette (don’t know why I did that), and uploaded it through SVG2STL before printing on the 3D. As you can see, the first one I muffed it, as I didn’t have the line thick enough, so it just did the outline. So I went back into Silhouette, layered the holes with a filled background, re-uploaded to SVG2STL and printed. And then, silly me, I had to print it once again because I needed two, not one. 
I’m just happy I figured something out.

Congrats on making and designing a thing! That is a great feeling right?

You got the P2S combo right? Didn’t it come with an AMS2 Pro? The AMS2 can dry filament; it has a built in drier function.

Thanks @pubultrastar, it IS a great feeling!
@bill.m.davis - I do have the P2S combo. So that actually helps a lot, as I found I was short one container for my spools! Now I’ll have 3 extra containers to fill because I’m sure I’ll keep the AMS filled. Oh darn, hate buying more supplies.

Do you know how to use the drying function of the AMS?
I don’t think you can currently dry while printing, but that update should be coming. They have implemented it for the H2D and are trickling it down to the other printers that use the AMS2.

Finished printing an older project last night, very happy with the quality and amazed that it printed without supports.

Nope, no idea how to use the drying function. I’ve only read through the first “beginner” section of instructions, and need to start the “intermediate.” How do I do that?
I’ve learned just enough to know how to print some things, like “first prints” on the GF. And one that I tried from Makerworld, a Chinese recorder-type thing, printed 3 of 4 pieces just fine, but the 4th one (second piece from the left, and a main piece at that, as it has 5 of the ‘note’ holes), totally messed up and connected the pieces (can’t think of what they’re called, but you take them off and toss them away) to the main piece and it’s unusable. It looks like a LEGO tree stump, totally connected like it was welded.

Bambu has instructional videos and courses in the Bambu Academy. You should go through the lessons for the P2S.
In the meantime, it’s on the filament tab on the menu on your printer.

That is so cute! Where are the controls though?

It’s an ambient clock.
I was going to add more details like the marquee and coin slot, etc. after I got the inside parts to fit. But after a few interactions I decided I like the “impression” of an arcade cabinet.

If you need a dedicated filament drying option (because you don’t want to contaminate your food dehydrator), a very highly-regarded option is the Nesco Snackmaster Jr.
…the thermostat is accurate, it’s an efficient dryer, and it’s cheap.

@pubultrastar - I haven’t gotten that far yet. Bambu Academy is on my “list of things to do.” So thanks for the tip! You too @bill.m.davis!
@martin.anderson - I’ll look at that, thanks! Does it really contaminate? Why would that be different than contaminating a regular oven?

Not sure about the contamination angle, but I have heard it a lot. Could be people/companies being paranoid or “better safe than sorry” but it does come up every time someone mentions a dehydrator. I just use my AMS2 for drying, myself, but I did bookmark the Nesco page on Amazon….

They’re called “supports”. Looks like you’re using organic Tree Supports. There are other designs available in the slicer and you can use a different spool & material to make it easier to separate them from the main model. PLA & PETG don’t stick to each other well for instance. There are also soluble filaments that are good for supports as well.
The downside for single head machines like the Bambu is that you really increase the poop & time since it’s swapping filaments a lot more than if you use the same spool for both the main material and the supports. Multi-head machines don’t have the swap slowdown issue.

I just ran into this last night! I was printing some of the desiccant holders that fit inside the spools, and as I reading in the P2S Intermediate Course, a message popped up about the AI picked up a stringy problem and stopped the machine. I immediately went down and looked at it, and one of the small inner covers was messed up and stringy and just touching another piece. I saw on the P2S screen where I could select the part that messed up and have it “skip” that part. So I opened the door, removed the messed up part, and hit “resume.” It worked perfectly!
I am amazed at this machine. And the camera inside is so clear and sharp! It would be great if the GF could do the same. (As we all wish.) Especially having a camera that shows what’s going on and being able to open it and resume printing.

After an all day print, I’d say I judged that filament perfectly (extruder 1). Those are the 3 airbus cockpit colors basically right there…
Luckily have one more spool of that black until the case of 10 arrives
