Well support structure will be needed on overhangs and stuff like that so don't write it off.

I don't use it much since I'm mostly printing things that don't need it as they were designed to print in place.

No, no. I offered assistance.

What do I do with the white one? Put it in the last slot? Does the machine know when to use the white one as a support?

I don't use the support filament as I have enough filament that using a bit for a model or two here or there isn't a huge loss. However, you can use the Bambu Studio program and "paint" the support structures with that filament and it will use that instead of whatever normal filament you are using.

(Note on this, because these machines use NFC for the official bambu filaments, it might do it automatically. Don't count on that though and always double check.)

You can keep it in your AMS anywhere you like, but for those onboard print files, it typically uses AMS slot one.

What would you consider is your favorite filament to work with? I’m thinking of splurging on a set off ebay. But at the same time, are discount filaments ok?

I love Inland filaments because I'm close to a Microcenter and can go and physically look at them before purchasing them. If you aren't close to a Microcenter though, Inland filaments are Polymaker and eSun.

If you plan to get cheap filament, make sure you keep your bed as clean as you can because you want to rule that out immediately if there is an issue. I use Isopropyl alcohol before every print to remove any grease/oil/dust from the bed.

And do you use a special plate? People have mentioned golden ones that are easier to bend to pop out the build? Mine just scraped off fairly easy. And I’ve read to use hairspray or windex to make it easier to pop off later.

I use the standard PEI plate that comes with the machine. I allow the bed to cool off in the machine and then get the print off. Makes it much easier.

Controlling these printers is best done from a PC. Bambu Studio will give you the most options to control your prints. The Bambu Handy app works great as well but I find it limiting.

It's ok, my dude. We all make simple mistakes like this. I've cost myself entire rolls of filament before. If you ever have any questions, give me a shout, I'll give you a hand.

Yep, then right click it and click applets and add what you need them move the applets to where you want.

These printers calibrate themselves.

TDS says it's still PLA.

Is that white filament the one that came with it? If it is, it is only meant as support material. Use the orange or green in AMS slot one and try again.

I feel the same way about Fahrenheit, but boy do people hate it when you say it out loud.

I've never had to use Kilometers much but I'm sure I wouldn't have much trouble adapting to that as much.

The 2011 stuff with them ragging on Jersey shore was golden.

NV is 32bit, but it doesn't matter. It will run in a 64bit environment.

Two eye patches, ear plugs, might as well throw some ear plugs in your nose too.
