I made the mistake of browsing some Bambu Lab groups on Facebook. Lots of crazy people, and I just read dozens of comments about using glue sticks or hair spray for a normal PLA print… what!?
Hmm, I am seriously considering a Bambu Lab P1S (or P1P) printer. I still love the Prusa MINI but I need to get rid of the old Monoprice which is past its prime, and that makes room for another printer.
(And yeah, I'll wait until at least Sept. 20th before I do anything.)
Sorry I can’t shut up about the quality from the Bambu Lab P1S but this is a game changer for the products I create. I may switch from laser cut parts to printed parts these look so good!
I've had a #BambuLab printer for ~7 months (and it is excellent), but have mostly avoided multicolour prints - partly due to the wastage on switch/purge, mostly due to not being able to leave the printer to run for extended periods. I've used the AMS for layered smaller layered plates and badge, but not figurines and such. Finally doing a relatively small 3 colour AMS print today and it looks fantastic so far. 🤞🏻 #3dprinting
Green benchy from the Bambu Lab P1S, white benchy from the Prusa MINI+ w/5.1.0-alpha1 firmware... The green is definitely a better print.
I got the Prusa about two years ago because I wanted better quality prints that I was getting from my old printer. I care more about quality that speed...
I'll try a slower print and see if the new firmware has better quality.
A sort of review of the Bambu Lab P1S 3D Printer, though it's not a proper review because I never do proper reviews so it's more of some thoughts and musings...
This week's mini-project is a giant knife block for the kitchen. This is a 2-parter made from burgundy PLA-CF and black PET-CF - these are exotic choices, but the truth is I got both for free, I really liked the dark red for the kitchen, and I didn't have a plainer black on hand. The whole thing is under 1kg and you could easily make this from a single spool of PLA instead.
I'll share the STLs once the filler has arrived and I've verified this was actually a good idea.
Ridiculously, my first implementation of the lighting hack for my #BambuLab X1C ran over HTTP, not #MQTT. I shall now fix this. #MicroPython (adding, not replacing, is the plan)
At some point I should look up how much money I've spent on Bambu Lab's products but I'm scared it's going to be much higher than I think it is. #3dprinting#BambuLab
I was somewhat skeptical of multi-color prints on the Bambu Lab printers using the AMS but now that I've started to design things I'm trying to be efficient and I've got it down to a single color change after the first layer and there is no tower of wasted filament.
For these prints it's just a single layer of text on the bottom but I'm pleased with the very minimal print time it adds and almost zero waste.
Puh, what a ride. #Design of my #BambuLab lid riser with integrated ventilation, LED strip placement and support for the BL LED Controller has been finished. Now I have to print some parts. Then assembling, testing and I’m done. 🤓
