New 3D Printer

[TimM63]

I received my new 3D printer today. It's the Bambu A1 with the AMS Lite spool holder.
Now I'm waiting on the spools.

I'm not familiar with 3D printers. I just looked this up...is it the A1 Mini or Full model?

That's nice...when it's up and running please show some of the items you will create.

Is this your first printer ? What do you like about spool printers over resin printers?

Yes. This is my first 3D printer. The spools seem more user friendly. Although I have never used a resin printer so I can't compare the two.

Will do

This was the initial calibration and print for the printer.
A little tugboat.

I 3D printed a model support stand. It is to replace the cheap balsa wood one I have..
I think it will work great.

 

[Modelprofessor]

Wow that looks great . It seems like it will work nicely.
Is it a pla or resin printer,? Also where did you find the file?

 

[TimM63]

It's a PLA, PETG printer from Bambu (the A1). I found the file on Bambu Studios.
I could send a 3mf or an stl file if you are interested. just message me your email.

Excellent choice . Hope to add one to my room this year. Pretty good at resin but want to print larger format. Share lots of pics!

Awesome, enjoy it. I really like what Bambu is doing right now. I have a Mini A1 and a modified AMS Lite. It's been great so far. I've been learning blender in my spare time (as rare as it is).

I love the multi color printing capability of this printer.
The model support stand cost me $3.60 in filament to print. Could probably sell them for $20.

Yeah. It's really nice to have color choices. I had a lot of issues with the non-ams spooling setup. Even modded it was still tangling. That all went away with the AMS. Here's my current setup. Wanted to have dry boxes and also save some space. Santa is bringing me a resin printer for xmas so the left side of the table is for that. Im currently working out how to remote locate the RFID antennas. When you extend the wire too far it makes them not work as the signal gets too weak. They arent necessary but it would be nice to have the feature.
