Dominoes posted:What use cases are y'all using SLA for? For context, I'm sticking with filament since I want to be able to solvent-bond parts to injection-molded ABS parts. And it seems like the process for FDM is more hands-off and safer, at the cost of poorer-quality prints. When I want to print something mechanical, or do a design from scratch that needs a few iterations I do FDM for sure. But for art stuff that I'm going to paint, the results are just better with with SLA for what I do. (I mean I toally agree that resin is more work and has more safety reqs, it's sometimes annoying)

I haven't bought anything FDM in a long time (except the PrusaXL preorder that I eventually cancelled, heh) - anyone able to share a quick TL;DR of their Bambu experience using the AMS? Like is having multiple AMS really for-real practical? Can you throw PVA in there as support material? That was kind of what interested me in the PrusaXL in the first place Also are folks tending to go all in on PETG these days and skipping PLA?

P1S trip report: So I bought two P1S combos and an extra AMS. My plan is to have one be a single material unit and then have three AMS on the other. If that turns out to be not interesting enough, I'll put one back on the single material unit. None of the filament or the AMS Hub have arrived yet, so right now only one AMS is hooked up. I was not prepared for: 1. How fast these things print 2. How little actual work there would be from open box -> press print 3. What the self-test process sounds like (seriously, how is there not a warning in the setup video to say "hey btw this is going to shake and vibrate like something is going terribly wrong but it's okay trust us") I did a benchy on each, and they're now doing some larger test prints. The single material one is making the sample vase using some random PLA, and the AMS one is making one of those print-in-placed articulated octopus designs using two sample PLA colours (and support PLA for one spot under its mouth) This is my first setup with multimaterial printing at home. Previously I'd only had that at work on industrial devices where models had to be specifically designed and exported as multi-file assemblies, in order for each segment to be individually selected for material assignment. (on the fancier machines, this could include rubber-like overmolding + various rigid materials in one print) I was really impressed with the process here for adding adhoc custom colour. The software easily separated all the sections, where I could do the click -> choose material stuff, but then also being able to "paint" an arbitrary colour scheme and make use of the explode slider to move things out of the way: wow! I had one error where the support pla failed to fully retract after printing a layer, so the printer paused and had me inspect it and press retry. (I think I didn't quite set that spool in place correctly the first time.) Things are looking fine now, but one setting I did for the phone was to change its iOS notification banner style from "temporary" to "permanent" so that I don't miss anything important. Hopefully the rest of the stuff comes soon!

Canadians with an AMS setup: this microwave stand from amazon.ca works pretty well! Gonna make some short risers for the legs to get just a teeny bit more clearance in the bottom shelf, but otherwise I can fully open the lid in the middle and top shelves.

IncredibleIgloo posted:Also, if you are already using IPA I would advise using different resin. Water washable resin has some bad characteristics in regards to how brittle it is and can sometimes have unexpected cracks form after the print. The brittleness of it also makes it harder to print with. An ABS like resin is typically the most forgiving and best for miniatures, if that is what you are printing. Seconding the unexpected cracks.. I did up a nice little statue from a museum 3D scan in water-washable resin, fully painted etc. Everything was fine for a few months, and then it started visibly cracking in a few spots and now it looks kind of half-exploded. I only started using water-washable in the first place because I'd moved to the Photon Mono X with the large wash/cure station, and didn't love the idea of having an 8 litre bucket of isopropyl alcohol. I'm coming around on it now though, I got a small flammables cabinet that I can use to store it when not in use. (overkill, I know, but still..)

Roundboy posted:Multi material prints came out great, but this machine likes to poop out a lot of filament. I'm printing a poop chute next and likely tuning the purge rates as i found on pintables. Painting stuff is -really- tedious and if you go outside the 'lines' its going to cause all kinds of extra swaps and add a ton of time. So I tried using the Bambu Lab Poop Chute Bucket V2 today.. As you say, lots of colour changes means a lot of filament being pooped out. What happened was that instead of all the filament falling on the floor, the bucket got full and backed up into the printer. I am definitely open to some alternative ideas because none of these bucket designs seem to be tested on real-world use

Acid Reflux posted:Pardon the messy desk area (I do a lot of model work right on my keyboard tray, hence the self-healing mat) and the poo poo picture in general... but this is Toymakr3D's Optimus Prime model at 150% scale. Stands about 30cm tall. The picture file name is "Floptimus Prime" because all of the ball joints are a little loose, I need to learn how to adjust tolerances in Orca Slicer, but regardless of that it was a fun print and build. I was never even hugely into Transformers, but these models are really well done and I'm going to do a bunch more. That looks great! I did the Bumblebee car and robot models the other day. For robot mode I definitely had to shave a tiny bit of plastic from some of those joints

I'm having a hell of a time with Polylite PLA and the Bambu AMS.. As others have noted, the cardboard spools are really not compatible. I tried being clever and basically tearing the "wings" of the cardboard spool off, and swapping the core into a Bambu reusable spool. Like it fits, and sometimes it works fine, but it's not a reliable solution Next step I guess is to try a full respool.. I've never actually had to do that with FDM filament before - I see people are doing fun things with drill attachments and whatnot? The reason I'm using Polylite instead of the Bambu filament with the handy RFID stuff is because it has a nicer range of colours, and is available from multiple sources. (and will show up next day from amazon)

The Bambu Lab A1 mini was announced this morning. This thing is cute! I don't need it myself, but assuming it's reliable like the other units, this should be a good budget option for a bunch of people. (Also I assume someone will eventually figure out how to suspend the optional AMS lite above the main unit to save desk space) https://bambulab.com/a1-mini  Also this is the weirdest promotion I've ever seen - have other manufacturers done this?

Did my first bit of corrective maintenance on a Bambu P1S today.. The extruder clogged, and also one of the AMS units got a piece of filament stuck inside. Happy to report that the maintenance videos were clear and helpful, and it was absolutely no problem to disassemble all the bits, unclog, and put them back together. (I ended up shortening the length of the PTFE tube on that AMS as well, I think it was a bit too long.)

Bambu users - anyone else have an issue with wifi after this week's firmware update? One of my P1S units now has a really spotty connection for some reason :/ I did a factory reset and all that, same issue.. Next step will be rolling back to the previous firmware, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before I start trying anything silly
