mine arrived today, threw me for a loop as the guy just handed over the second order I made for the extra build plates and a spare hotend assembly but no printer after I'd tracked the no for my printer order which said it was due when he knocked but there was a second van in the area one street over who turned up 5 minutes later.
setup was very easy but I got ahead of myself and tried to jump in with the textured pei sheet instead of the cool plate as I hate using glue stick etc but the lidar can't do the flow calibration stuff on textured sheets so the benchy was a mess. then I tried with the cold sheet and it didn't adhere with the glue stick so i changed tact and printed the included bed scraper which came out perfectly. i'm gonna steer clear of the benchy while i get a feel for the machine as it is super aggressive in its movements and feels much more like a stress test when I just want simple prints in decent quality as fast as possible.
the poop bucket and chute i'm printing tomorrow are these...

P1P arrived this morning, while fiddling with it I managed to pop out the latch of the camera cable socket... Couldn't get it back on, gave up and printed some things (after moving to garage immediately) like the fan support and x1-style ptfe passthrough (so that I can put a top cover on) and of course the benchy. Came out alright.
Was outside most of the afternoon, after coming home I went back in and removed the whole WiFi board (behind the screen, had to take out two socketed cables and an antenna) to be able to work on it with both hands. Taking the PCB out/in took more time than remounting the latch (in a warmer and well lit environment). All done fairly quickly.
Now I'm printing the LED light supports, somebody modified the defaults (of course) and I'm printing those. Still have to put the tube passthrough to use, I had the whole back cover off etc. while mounting the extra fan (which is pointless in the garage temps, but I had to in order to not lose it), but forgot about that completely.

Yes. The early bird box just arrived (while I was having my friday avro nap) without any doorbell or signature, drop and run style. Hope DPD doesn't take the same approach with the big box (or has it been stolen already? dun dun dunnn)
I've started slowly bookmarking what to print as a start, lots of SMD strip holders etc. My last stint with a 3D was with an Ultimaker at an old job 6+ years ago, so lots of "oats to saw" in this space.
I don't think printing a side panel (or two) would be good use of time or filament, maybe print a bunch of holders to be able to slide in a sheet of plexi (or Karndean click LVT, as I might have some offcuts) in between, I don't know.
Side mounted spool holder sounds smart if you're enclosing it in a cupboard etc. After the initial setup and the obligatory benchy I'm planning to move it to the garage where noise isn't an issue, but to keep the heat in I might need the side panels one way or the other.
