When i did the remix of RetroFrog's case i made it specifically for resin prints, but its at least pretty decent at .4 nozzle on fdm.

That came out nice!

it really did

#

as we say, anything looks better with the Roland logo on it

#

Even the Roland logo. Ideal pathing

Not sure if that will work correctly but i exported that out of solidworks

If you guys need a step file let me know

lol, .2 nozzle at .06 line height. lets fucking go

#

12 hour print for that lid. But came out 👌

lofty turret
#

yeah, I have done some .2 stuff before

#

what sucks is when you get spaghetti but don’t know about it until you’re 5 hours in

which reminds me, I should check on the print..

I got some warping on the 0.2

#

I added mouse ears and reprinted, one corner is now perfect and the other is slightly warped, just less so then that pic

Going to try glue when I get home

I've been fucking around with ironing and getting wacky results

Smoooooth

Thanks duder

#

With the ironing, this really isn’t bad at all

earnest shale
#

The top text and the R logo has come out considerably better. Weird those breaks under the m though

lofty turret
#

That’s just light refracting. It’s completely smooth there.

But rom and synth have slight defects.

#

The issue: The stand on this IBM monitor was optional, so not many had it (I have three and none of them have the stand), which is fine it sits fairly well unless you have the MM-1 multimedia option speakers in which case it's a bit too low for my liking.

#

The part that actually mounts to the monitor is someone else's design that I found, it didn't quite fit so I modified the file. The rest I designed and is one of the first full start to finish things I've ever designed, just going by internet pictures and using digital calipers to measure the 3D printed swivel base.

@oak ferry - looks great. Designing your own stuff is incredibly rewarding. Even more so when you share the design and see other people's prints of it.

Really nice work, Dolch

Ahhhhhh, doing what I do best, bastardizing @crude prism’s work.

earnest shale
#

Ah, the outer placement for the rom/synth text looks pretty good

#

Ditched the underline for the mt32-pi logo though? Looks weird without

The multicolouring looks great. Glad I ordered the multifilament addon for my Anycubic, I look forward to that arriving in a couple of months (gah!)

Wonder if rotating it 45 or 90 degrees on the plate would improve anything

#

@lofty turret Now that Bambu's new printer has dropped, the one that you were holding out for, think you'll get it?

lofty turret
#

Ehhhhh

#

I think if the tariff situation improves?

bronze mesa
#

Oh yeah. I'm not in the US so didn't think about that.

lofty turret
#

But the lasers needing external venting is a no go for me. So it’s the bigger bed and dual nozzle

bronze mesa
#

I think the laser could be neat for etching.

lofty turret
#

I agree. If there was a way I could vent that out, I’d likely do it. But that situation is the same reason I don’t have a resin printer

bronze mesa
#

True.

#

I might get an AMS 2 if the price is right in my country.

lofty turret
#

Did they actually announce an AMS 2? I saw that the H2D comes with an AMS, but I didn’t see that it was anything special

bronze mesa
#

Quieter, has a clever filament dryer, and you don't need to disassemble it to unclog it.

#

Backwards compatible.

lofty turret
#

is that what is bundled with the h2d? or is it a separate purchase?

bronze mesa
#

It has vents that open and close to let humid air out as needed during heating/drying.

#

It's bundled yeah. Afaik.

lofty turret
#

I mean, I would need a 2nd AMS for the 2nd nozzle obv……..I have a dryer already, but 2 is more than one and therefore better

bronze mesa
#

Yeah, and for my P1S it would give me 8 filament printing. I'll think about it.

lofty turret
#

When my buddy bought his x1c he went all in and got 4 AMSes…bet his face is so red right now

bronze mesa
#

Afaik they'd work with the new one.

lofty turret
#

yeah, but I think you max at 4

bronze mesa
#

Which supports up to 24 filaments.

#

It supports more units.

lofty turret
#

oh shit, 6?

bronze mesa
#

Yeah but not sure about the order, might need to be specific units.

lofty turret
#

Do I even have 24 filaments in my house? I’d have to look

wise thunder
#

I want an H2D

#

No laser though. Don’t need that mess

#

Dual nozzle 🤘

#

Would love to be able to have a 0.6 and 0.2 nozzle loaded for top layer details

lofty turret
#

Yeah, after watching shit, I don’t need that laser nonsense.

wise thunder
#

Look at the pics. That’s what using a laser in there creates

#

And look at all the cleaning steps lol

lofty turret
#

the only question is whether or not the extra cameras were important for 3d printing

🤣

#

A1 will keep kicking till the discounts on the H2D start

I need that dual nozzle though. A little sad you can’t run 2 out of the same AMS at the same time but I understand the challenge

That texture in the model or is that fuzzy skin in the slicer?

#

I wish Bambu Studio allowed for paint on fuzzy skin

wise thunder
#

I like those Sunlu Matte filaments. All but the white are

Pink is giving me some extrusion errors every now and then tho

crude prism
#

I've used fuzzy skin on a few things, but for complicated models (or enclosures) it behaves oddly. Like half of a wall is fuzzy and part of it isn't. Plus if there is areas that you don't want the fuzzy skin on, using modifiers can be a hassle

wise thunder
#

Yeah I can see that. This one came out really neat, he had the eyes nose and mouth set to not fuzzy

#

My house is super humid and I won’t be able to fix it in some years

#

Does that make using an enclosed 3d printer a must?

earnest shale
#

Humidity isn't particularly important while printing. It is important for the reel of filament, which will absorb moisture from the air. You'll have to store them in airtight ziplocks/containers with plenty of silica gel.

earnest shale
upper lake
#

But does it make sense to dry to then print it at 70% humidity? Is not necessary in that case to use enclosed printer (or both)

earnest shale
#

Yes. When the filament gets soggy it becomes brittle and will bubble as it comes through the hot end, deforming the print and messing with the flow.
The active humidity at print time is basically inconsequential

#

Enclosed is better in general for even heating though, so go for an enclosed one if you prefer

I see, thanks for the answer, unthanks for not giving me an excuse to buy a closed 3D printer 😂

#

Is there a 3D Printing 101 you recommend?

lofty turret
#

You will spend the first week printing things for the printer

upper lake
#

I meant, something more "theoretical"

lofty turret
#

Not really. It’s probably best to buy some sort of (near) air tight container to store your filament. You’ll want to get the desiccant beads to store with the filament

upper lake
#

what about the different materials? how would I know what I want to use?

lofty turret
#

PLA is the easiest use, and will work for almost everything. Petg is more durable and heat resistant, but absorbs humidity much faster than PLA. ABS is stronger than PLA, but I have found that things don’t look as nice in ABS, so I only use it for things that I need to be stronger.

There are more but they are more exotic

upper lake
#

my custom insoles are 3d printed in something mixed with carbon fiber. Work great

lofty turret
#

Yeah, the cf filaments are very cool. But it’s like US$30 a spool, which is too much

#

Zero layer lines tho

upper lake
#

I don't have a clear reference of how much you can print with a spool

lofty turret
#

Any print over 100g is either big or dense. For instance, Todd’s mister case is like a total of 80g for the top, bottom, and buttons

#

That’s another thing that you’ll learn about: infill. Basically, how much shit do you want between the walls. The bigger the number, the more dense something would be. I’m currently printing a ghast for my kid. The head is only 5”x5”x5”, but the infill is like 30%, which means the print is like 100g. If I did a thin infill, I could probably print it for half that

upper lake
#

so it is always a race to see how much you can save on infill before making it structural unstable?

lofty turret
#

Nah, it’s more about whether or not you want things to feel solid

small stream
#

If you want sturdy, more walls. If you want heavy or less compressible, more infill. Generally speaking, you rarely need more than 30% infill, anything decorative will be fine with 5-10% depending on the pattern

upper lake
#

what is a wall?

#

see, I really need a 3d printing 101

#

🙂

lofty turret
#

It’s exactly what it says on the tin

#

Let’s say you’re printing a cube. The wall is the exterior structure, and you can make that stronger by increasing how many loops it does on the wall (layers) before it starts doing the infill. More wall loops = stronger walls

earnest shale
#

And if you're printing a box, the inner faces are also a wall. If the box is quite thin-walled, it may become only wall and no infill at all.

This 3d printing thing seems like a nice hobby, you have many options like printers that everyone agrees work great but are more and more in anticonsumer tactics, the one that is good and open but just unholy expensive, and the myriad of brands with rushed products with poor quality controls that never get enough support after release

earnest shale

Pretty accurate summary 😄 Also a huge dose of "if I get a cheap one and do this little upgrade, it'll definitely be as good as a more expensive one"

earnest shale
# upper lake how much space should I leave between a closed 3d printer and the wall?

So! With the Anycubic S1, there are some pipes and shiz around the back - tubes feed out of the multifilament box to the printer in tube, via a rear mounted sensor box - plus there's a filament-dribbles waste chute and the IEC13 power cord. So you'd need about 10cm/4" clear round the back for that stuff. There are two fan outflows as well, but the other stuff is more space-demanding.

earnest shale
#

If you don't have the multifilament unit the default position for a spool holder is actually around the back. Which is pretty dumb.

#

A friend tells me the Bambu X1 is basically the same setup. I suspect all the new breed of boxed X1-alikes will be this way too.

The a1 mini have like four inputs for filament? But I don’t have an AMS, can I use those extra inputs for something?

wise thunder
#

Nope

warped scarab
#

You could, I guess, use four spools and four feeder tubes, but you'd have to manually pull the filament back and push it back in every time you unloaded a filament. Not really a time saver.

earnest shale
#

Interesting. My new Kobra S1 with AMS (ACE in their parlance) has one feeder tube at the printer, and a back mount 4-into-one collator for the AMS to push filament through

#

Seems a saner design

warped scarab
#

But that requires pulling the filament all the way back to there in order to swap them. Bambu cut the cost of the AMS by not including a rewind motor - it's just spring loaded. Once the drive gears relax, the spring pulls it back. And because of that, it only goes back a short distance - and because of that, the 4->1 is on the print head.

If you're going to pull the filament a longer way back, you pretty much have to use a motor/gear to do it. (not like a motor that can run in reverse is an astonishing expense, but it does complicate things.

earnest shale
#

Yep, that's all true. Pros and cons either way 🙂

#

Kobra's ACE is indeed motorised on the reels rewind, since it has about 60cm to pull in

#

Oh, the ACE costs £200 and the AMS is £270. So there's that.

#

And has a heater as well as the motor(s)...

#

Only downside I can see is that you can only stack two, therefore 8 reels. AMS goes to 4x, 16 reels

#

Oh, I was talking of the AMS Lite, sorry. I've never worked with an AMS, it must do motors both ways, since it has the 4->1 behind the printers, not attached to the head.

I do feel there's a lot of Bambu users who don't "get" the traditional 3d printer users though. The average 3d printer guy in those groups just prints parts for printers. Some Bambu users see this and think "wow they go through so much trouble when I just get to do this and it just works", and completely miss the fact that modding/tinkering/having a unique build is 95% of the fun lol

#

I think Bambu does those users a great service, decent quality stuff that lets them do what they want to do. Prusa pretty much too.

#

I'll get this CPAP air diverter of mine online, print some great test prints with it, then my printer will go right back to dormant mode until I can think up something else to do to it. It's cheaper than working on a sports car at least.

#

I always said buying non Bambu the printer is your hobby. Buy Bambu if you want the things you print to be be your hobby lol

#

But yeah I have a race car to work on too 😵‍💫

And a perfect fit! My newly acquired Commodore SX-64's keyboard latches (middle one) was sheered off. All fixed up now. Printed two, one on it's side and one face down to see which turned out better, the face down has some gleam like the original. Now to find a closer color (or change both and not worry about it...)

Hopefully have this blowing air and working the flapper at the same time this weekend, then I'll be able to get the Klipper config finalized

Famicom snac adapter case

Is there even a use for this?

that's a weird one. db15 on the back? is that for antonio's snac?

Can't remember who designed it...

#

I'm going to scope out some odd accessories on yahoo JP and try it out

#

Made a few alternate lids but I like the one I printed the most

How does replayOS do arcade stuff?

Be lots to do, change the ports on the side, stack all the boards to see where best they fit, etc.

#

Finally got the workbench that’s been in the garage since before Thanksgiving setup in the office

#

Waiting on this print to finish on the P2S so I can reconnect the H2C (it’s a dual 4 into 1 connector mount for the H2)

oak ferry
#

That's an HD table!

#

I was just thinking about a UPS for the printer during the 44hr print....might have to explore that option.

rigid geyser
#

I think that ultra hd badge is crooked

wise thunder
#

But then it levels out

#

The APC can be perm muted, the Amazon basics one can not

#

I think I’m going to switch what printer they’re on. The APC is on the C and the Amazon one on the P2…. The H2C has low power mode to limit startup draw to 900w

#

So I can move the non mutable one there and put it in low power mode and not have to hear a beep ever lol

wise thunder
#

There everything connected. Moved the ups’s to the wire rack. It’s hurting lol

lofty turret
#

did you print that AMS rack?

wise thunder
#

Yeah

lofty turret
#

danke shon

wise thunder
#

I’m printing a different one I think

#

That’s how far I have to pull it out to change lower ams filament

#

I want to reduce tube length for color swaps on the C

#

Think I may do this one

All bambu had to do was make them flat on top

#

I love that the first thing I did when I got my 3d printer was print parts for it.

lofty turret
#

that is the way

oak ferry
#

I'm learning! Decided I likely won't add stickers but I wanted at least the control panel to have some color so I edited the panel and included graphics (thickened the lines for better printing, cleaned up the text, etc) and printed it.

#

Yeah reprinted it with the graphics embedded in the top layer

That's the purge tower, the little swatch the printer prints when swapping colors to get the flow correct before it lays it down on the print.

Ohhhhh

How interesting

That’s really cool. Can you share that, dolch?

New ams stack done

lofty turret
#

I'm printing the other one you recommended because I like the shorter stack and don't mind sliding the bottom one out

wise thunder
#

Yeah I wanted shorter tube lengths. It makes a difference when swapping nozzles on the H2C

#

Bottom had to be so long to slide out

lofty turret
#

yeah. there are some wild hacks on reddit for that shit

#

I thought I saw something about setting up a multiplexer so that the ams only pulled back to the multiplexer, rather than all the way back to the AMS

wise thunder
#

Yeah I bet they release something to only pull back to the 4 in 1 splitter eventually

#

Obviously would have to go to different AMS’s to make it faster

#

But I would imagine the logic will come

#

They need a ams2 pro pro with 4 outputs lol

man, I wish someone other than Bambu had cool CF colors. I want to get yellow ABS CF, but no one has it and bambu is out of stock

Now I’m printing accessories for my ams stand

Supertack cool plate so tacky

🤣

#

@wise thunder may be able to crank that bed temp to fix it. I do my automotive grade ASA at 115C bed lol

wise thunder
#

Yeah. It’s the cool plate tho supposed to work at 40c lol

#

Just funny

lofty turret
#

you need the super tack professional

#

(I'm not kidding)

wise thunder
#

Works good enough

#

Not reprinting

#

Bumped temps to 50c

#

See if the next one warps

wise thunder
#

Seems good so far

wise thunder
#

Really like this stand

keen folio
#

I used the scraper on my first print with the super tack unprofessional and it scraped off a bunch of coating. I think that's why they released the one for professionals

wise thunder
#

I gotta say the H2 series is fucking awesome

#

Love being able to print ASA like it’s PLA

#

My wife wanted one of the big Lego wreaths lol

Totally not a giant Lego wreath (big L is sue happy apparently)

#

I started a print on both around the same time and the UPS was not happy

wise thunder
#

I have the H2 in low power mode to keep the ups happy

#

It draws 1300w on startup otherwise

#

The P2S is also a big power consumer, more than the x1/p1. It will make the ups scream in startup as well just by itself

wise thunder
#

I have an Amazon basics ups that can’t be perm muted and a APC that can. So the APC is on the P2S since it doesn’t have a low power mode and the Amazon is with the H2C since I can limit its max power

#

So no more screaming on print starts now

#

I tried to do a H2C calibration on the Amazon one in not low power mode and it actually shut power off on me lol

#

Also man when the H2C gets moving it rocks my 140lbs workbench back and forth

I can’t imagine buying a $2400 printer as my first

Ok can’t imagine buying a $2400 printer as my first and asking where to buy PLA lol

Wouldn't you just buy it from bambu when you order your printer
