Don't worry, like most Bambu users, he'll be an expert within the month.

lofty turret Jan 15, 2026, 3:20 PM

#

I think Bambu's are great starter printers. I also think that it's part of nerd-adjacent culture to discover how something works and then assume that you are the first person alive to discover that, and are the sole expert on it

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 3:21 PM

#

Oh i'm just meme'ing. Bambu is pretty incredible, especially for people who just want to print something

#

I started with a dual hotend Flashforge Creator, way overboard, wish I had a Bambu back then

lofty turret Jan 15, 2026, 3:23 PM

#

Oh totally. I'm empathizing with you. I wouldn't have gotten into 3d printing without bambu's "set it and forget it" printers

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 3:26 PM

#

I wish there was a good way to educate people about some aspects of 3d printing you only learn from having a completely crap machine

#

I guess if the part they get out of the machine is what they want, those details don't matter.

Is that "HTPLA+" by chance?

#

or similar?

wise thunder Jan 15, 2026, 4:21 PM

#

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 4:22 PM

#

oh, who knows then lol - you may try looking for a datasheet, but if it's made using Natureworks 3d870 (a type of PLA, typically used in "HTPLA" and cut with other things), snapping like this is pretty common

Basically the filament does fine coming off the roll, but if any of it is held in a form that's against its memory, it will go snap city after a few days of sitting

wise thunder Jan 15, 2026, 4:23 PM

#

It now lives here

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 4:23 PM

#

When I use it and leave it sitting four or five days, I will come back to it broken in several places down my PTFE lol

#

I wouldn't say trash it, just can't leave that roll in the unit, would be one you have to unload every print.

#

which is troublesome

wise thunder Jan 15, 2026, 4:51 PM

#

It snapped all the time in my A1 but that was easy to deal with

lofty turret Jan 15, 2026, 4:52 PM

#

the transparent stuff?

#

yeah, i wonder if it needs to be dried or something. Transparent PLA feels like a forbidden filament anyway

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 4:53 PM

#

lofty turret Another data point

Going off that print temp, I would wager that's 3d870 based filament. Normal PLA prints much lower temp.

Before you go trashing rolls, 3d870 is REALLY good compared to normal PLA. It isn't quite as rigid, has more temp resistance, and is stronger. You just can't leave it sitting in a PTFE tube for more than a couple days, it will snap. Just a quality of that resin 🙂

lofty turret Jan 15, 2026, 4:54 PM

#

As a bambu user, let me correct you

#

Yeah, I'm gonna try drying it out before I use it again

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 4:56 PM

#

3d870 used to be my goto filament, anymore I am on that ASA train though. I still use the 3d870 I have to test print and refine designs, then print them in more exotic filament

#

Last time I left a roll of it sitting in my vcore (which has like a 1m long filament feed path), it snapped in 6 or 7 places.

topaz matrix Jan 15, 2026, 6:24 PM

I bought a bench power supply the other day and was sweating all the details. To get what I truly wanted, I would get up into the couple/few hundred dollar range. Talked to a couple electrical engineer buds about it who said "Dude just get the $60 unit, if it works you saved a ton of money, if it doesn't toss it and get a different $60 unit, at your usage level you'll save either way"

That looks very nice. I love the speaker setup at the top. Are the knobs on the side up there for detail or do you instead to use them as buttons?

@crude prism is this something you’ll eventually sell? Without the hardware of course.

So looking for advice, a clip was broken on my old car when I got it, and sourcing a replacement looks to be fairly expensive. I thought maybe it would be a good 3D printed item but it's fairly complex.

How would one go about attacking this design? Would you start with a solid block and then use negative cylinders and blocks until you got the desired shape? Or would you start from a drawing and extrude that?
