What 3D printer should I order and lets put some files here

Commander

That would be awesome. I am going to buy that printer that holds more than one color..

Commander

One think I just realized… I have a stupid Mac computer. So these programs run on Max or Windows? I also have a windows computer laying around if I need to use it

Stevepep

@Commander Mac is actually better.

Commander

Does the computer hook to the printer?

krisacero

@Commander Only if you want to directly connect. The Bambu ones use WiFi

Commander

So how do you “print” the file? Is it a program?

Alright you guys have talked me into it pulling the trigger on a printer lol thinking of going with the Bambu p1s

Stevepep

@Commander you just open in Bambi lab they is a command you can’t miss in makers world. Click prepare and it will slice the print. Once done click print and that it’s it. You can also access makers world in the Bambi labs app on you phone or tablet and print from there.this is a great one for pens. Just click on the link and print it. Get ready for a whole new world. It’s addicting

@cmiller4226 I started with the A1 mini and still use it like crazy it’s terrific. I just added the X2D with dual nozzles and AMS and it’s game changer. It prints text with the dual nozzle perfect. I have designed tons of stuff for my house to organize things on sharpr3D. Most everything you can find on makers world so for the most part there is no need to go crazy designing.

@Stevepep
See you are making me spend more money… I will order this X2D & AMS when I get back from vacation…

Commander

Actually I think it is the H2D I want… Very confusing

Stevepep

@Commander honestly you can’t go wrong with any of them

Snake Pepskin

I’m down in the same rabbit hole with you @commander.

I’m think I will settle on the X2D. It’s not easy for me to not spend the extra money. A buddy of mine has the P1s and it’s remarkable. He prints all day long with it. The X will be much more capable and faster, and I think that’s gonna be my entry point. Definitely with the AMS.

Stevepep

@Snake-Pepskin it’s terrific I am addicted. I am traveling for a trade show and of course printed a travel case for my pens and a pill vial for my supplements. The second nozzle is a game changer it really speeds thinks up and for text it’s perfect

A1 setup and I'm absolutely blundering my way through Bambu Studio. Question, when I hit 'preview' after I've some some modification to the file, I see what looks like a possibly low quality print if I zoom in. Is this the case? I don't wanna have it churn for 6 hours and hate it. haha

Update: I added some ironing settings that seemed to have helped the 'preview' image look better. This whole thing is a bit of a learning curve even without designing it myself. I'll get it though...this is gonna be fun!

Here are some more files. The snap boxes are there in every size; they are great for storing research supplies. You can just pick the sizes to print. Happy to post more if there is interest

First ever print done! I opted to skip the silly tugboat and dive right in. I’m sure I’ve got some settings that slowed this down (13hr) but I’m printing cases for all my buds at work and I’m thrilled with the results so far!
