3D Printing

Nice. What is the wall thickness on those?

Neat!

Hi 3d printing people.

I come to you again to ask for favours (in return for beer / money / donations / a kind word in santa's ear).

Would anyone be able to print this for me please.

I'll do it for a forum donation - PM me.

Nice new home for the printer.

Made a top out is some old worktop I had, used an old 20mm washing machine mat and a paver I had in the garden.

Rock solid.

One of the metal shelves that came from Ikea was broken otherwise I’d have another for more filament.

Would anyone on here but up for 3D printing some of these Speedplay extender plates for me please?

Thank you, but no longer needed.

Had a Sovol Sv06 for a year now but really tempted by a bambu lab printer on their current BF deal. I was all set on the P1S but seems alot of extra money for I'm not sure what compared to the A1 (or even the mini). And from what I've read the A1 seems newer tech.

Why would you get the P1S?

Also, do I go AMS or no? is it worth it?

ams is definitely worth it if you can afford it.

multi colour printing is very fun, but being able to store multiple filaments at once and swap them based on the print your sending is even better, having it automatically switch to a new spool of the same filament when one runs out is the best. eliminates all guesswork on how much is left on a spool.

a1 vs p1s i'm not sure as i only have the x1c.

don't need to bother with the bambu filament, it's mostly rebadged. the printers will print well with pretty much anything you throw at them.

I love having a 3d printer. My little one wanted to put a train round the bottom of our Christmas tree, but his track wasn't big enough.

Took a quick photo of the joining piece from above. 10 minutes playing with shapr3d, 2 hours printing and now we have a Christmas tree train.

Caved and ordered the P1S with AMS!

nice. they're all good machines but i don't think you'll be disappointed with your choice.

Interesting - i find I have to slow my first few layers down a fair bit with non bambu filament to get acceptable bed adhesion? (Vs. The admittedly very fast bambu speeds.) Otherwise, similarly seamless. eSun is my go to recently.

Otherwise, this entire post is bang on. Totally agree re: AMS and having multiple colours ready to go as opposed to multi colour printing. (Which is exactly what you told me when I asked about the AMS - which I didn’t order when I ordered my P1S, but did within 48 hours of owning it.)

@damitamit I got a P1S in spring this year, it’s been faultless, for functional and decorative bits. Dead pleased.

Are you going to get rid of your old machine? 😁

it may not be true anymore but at one point bambu filament would arrive in esun and sunlu shipping boxes if you bought enough of it.

the new bambu cryo grip plate i just got is giving me excellent adhesion and my biqu glacier plate arrived yesterday but I wont be testing it out for a bit yet as i'm ploughing through printing more multiboard stuff and want to stick with what works.

i posted it on the diy thread but have made a printer workbench, just waiting on some ply to arrive tomorrow so i can put the top and shelves on. x1c is going on a rubber tile on top left and theres space under on the left to resurrect my ender s1 pro as it's such a sunken cost at this point it only makes sense to use it as a backup. makes me sick when i think with all the upgrades it cost me more than a p1s with ams. made it 110cm high so i could fit three shelves just tall enough for filament boxes underneath and will use it as a permanent standing desk area for print related stuff. just got two more tiles and the wall mountings to print to cover the other wall with multiboard too.

need to figure out where all my resin printing stuff is gonna go still too. need to punch a hole for ventilation for that so it's a longer term plan for now.

Multiboard looks great/tempting! I'm currently playing the same game with gridfinity and the 'junk' draw. The whole area looks well considered and planned - which I really need to do instead of bodge on top of bodge in my garage.

Post Christmas plan for me is a hardened hot end and having a go at some more exotic filaments.

Most likely! Let me get the P1s up and running first...

Anyone able to print off a top tube protector?

Kashimax and skout velo both out of production sadly.
Would love LFGSS embossed on it. If possible.

Right, this thread has reached peak forum.

The tournament is tomorrow and I still don't have a functional robot, but I'm sure it'll all work out fine 😅

lots of faff and a ton of sawdust everywhere later shelves are done. not the tidiest build but it'll do.

get to unpack the 4 moving boxes of filament i've had getting in my way now and make enough space to move one step further in the eternal sliding puzzle that is organising my workshop.

Greetings, 3D-printers. I've never used a 3D printer or done much of anything in CAD but I do have a little fix that I think would be relatively simple and ideal for these sorts of machines. Would anyone be up for helping for some sort of beer- or money-based reward? I have a guitar that's missing a tuner ferrule: it's basically a tube with an ID and an OD, then a curved wider bit at the top. Could something like this be matched?

probably, but it would likely be easier / fit better / last longer to buy some.

These are not a standard size, unfortunately. It's from a weird 1960s Japanese guitar.
