Hey guys, I'm a hobbyist and new to 3d printing. I have the budget right now for the P1P w/ AMS and would be able to save a bit for the X1C w/ AMS. I'm really debating between the 2 as I primarily print only PLA & PETG, and don't really see myself needing an enclosure for some of the other filamen types. I'm interested in multi-material printing, speed, and not having to worry about leveling. I'd love to save some money by getting the P1P w/ AMS, but don't know if it's worth it to have the LiDar and some of the other bells & whistles that the X1-Carbon offers. Would love your input, thanks!

One thing I’ve always struggled with when designing new parts and fixtures is getting tolerances right, whether it be for a loose, sliding fit; push fit, or even creating a hole that a screw will go into and cut its own threads. Is there a general formula for sizing based off of the type of fit?

Filament temps - When I first started printing I finally learned the correct settings for the original spool of PLA that I got. I got a new spool of PLA from a different company and just left the temp settings the same thinking it'd get the same result and I can't get anything to stick. How do you guys go about finding the optimal temperature settings for a new spool?
Thanks for the great podcast!

Another question I was thinking about that I would love to hear your opinions about is bed adhesion, Glue Stick vs a Brim. Slicers are starting to default to autobrim, which I think is really weird.
