3D Printing thread

Here*s the 3D printer I just ordered:

First thing I'm printing is more 40mm projectiles for these mortar impact inserts I have.

Very good choice! I'm considering getting one as an addition to my FLSun. It has better support and a larger user base.

I spent 21 hours printing a 200mm tall chicken. Pictures soon.

Finally unboxed my Bambu Lab X1 yesterday.




Within 30 minutes, I printed this:





and for my 2nd print:



Time to start working on the 40mm projectiles for the 1,000 14.5mm artillery impact fuzes I purchased.

Now that's looking interesting. Is it so easy a truck driver can do it?

Never owned a 3D printer and I was up and running within 30 minutes.

I’ve been lusting after that thing for months but I am not printing a ton of stuff right now.

I've had an Ender 3 sitting in a box for over a year. Still haven't done anything with it. Mainly because I don't feel like farting around getting it setup. After watching this guy's video, I'm thinking about just getting a Bambu.

3D printed houses?

That is interesting. I was at a trade show several years ago and they had a 3D printed car on display.

So I feel like I'm missing a setting somewhere but my prints are not correct on the x/y dimension. A 20 mm calibration cube is coming up around 19.8 or 19.9 mm . I didn't notice it previously as I wasn't printing anything too precise before. It's in BambuStudio which doesn't have a way to measure in the "prepare" area like Prusa or Cura.

I'm currently running the print at 101% and going to try it. Just seems like a waste of filament to guess. Along with trying to figure it out for a longer print.


Anyone else running into this?
