  • If you can swing the added cost, I would 100% get it. I don’t do much multi color, but it’s worth it alone to just be able to have 4 spools loaded up and be able to switch between them in the slicer software. I always keep matte black loaded because it’s what I use most often, and then swap the other three slots as needed. The way I see it, even if you’re ok with having to change the spool everytine you print, you may as well have the AMS and have to switch slightly less often.

    Lastly, on more than one occasion the automatic failover to another spool has saved me a lot of effort. If you suspect you’re running low on a spool, you can just load up the same color on a different slot and the print run will automatically switch over to the new spool mid-print if you run out. I was blown away by the convenience of that the first time it happened. Keeps the print moving instead of stopping and waiting for you to make the switch manually.












  • I have a Dynatrap XL set up in the back corner of my back yard. It’s electric, so you plug it in and run it all season 24/7. Collects them in a cage where they eventually die. You need to empty the trap a few times per season which is gross and I hate doing it, but the trap is super effective. Allowed us to enjoy our back yard the whole season. Even during twilight when the bugs are normally at their worst.


  • Can’t speak to this case specifically, but I have the Spigen rugged armor case on mine. It still fits in the original case, so not too much added bulk. Biggest thing for me was the grippiness/softness it adds. It’s hard to explain, but I find it more pleasant to hold than the bare, hard plastic shell. I don’t travel a ton with mine and even then, I just put it in the case, so I wasn’t that worried about actual protection other than I don’t feel the need to baby it whee I put it down.

    I also have the iVoler glass screen protector and JSAUX dock. Both work well.
