WoodiE's journey into 3D printing

[WoodiE]

It's happened, after seeing 3D printers many times and even have bought my fair share of 3d printed items. I've broke down and bought one myself - a Bambu Labs P1S with AMS.

This thread will serve as my way to document my journey into 3D printing, or more likely my troubleshooting thread for 3D printing.

Behold my very first 3d print job ever.

I've ordered a number of Bambu PLA basic filament colors and new hardened hotends, but none of that has made it to me yet. So I'm using the "test" reels Bambu includes with the P1S.

Once the rest of the material comes in I've got a few print jobs I want to make for the printer itself, such as the poop chute and AMS Dry Pods. From there I've got a few things I want to print for my Milwaukee Packout gear, after that, who knows.

Better strap yourself in.. For a Wild ride!

 

[Luke66]

Started strong! Happy you went with a Bambu. They're just awesome.

 

[BruceRC]

Congratulations! So many possibilities. I too, want to take that plunge eventually. Enjoy.

And while we're on the topic of things to print..

I would suggest this very functional piece to add to your brand new printer >>

No, seriously, we are all jealous.

I'll admit I'm lazy and pretty dumb. So I wanted something that would make it easy on me.

Even still I managed to take forever to get the P1S setup. Ran into a few errors during setup and then couldn't figure out how to print the boat and ended up printing the wrong one. The one I printed was a 40min print job and not the 15min one.

I'm already off to a rocky start. haha

I very much need to spend some time in the Bambu Studio app and figure out how to use it.

AMS Riser

Hey @Tex Koder any reason why you picked this particular riser?

I was actually looking at printing the DK1 Riser. I like the idea of having vents built in that I could open and close and the ability to add more light because I've seen night lights brighter than the light that's included in the P1S.

Looking forward to you sharing your experience. I’m a total noob that will be unpacking a used, bargain basement printer soon.

What are you getting @Dan B.?

What are you getting @Dan B.?

It’s an Easythreed X3. It was the printer my brother in law used to cut his teeth before he bought a better one. He gave me a whole box full of new filament spools, too! I’ll unpack it and fire it up at some point soon.

The one I picked allows you to open the top lid at different level of openness/ventilation AND at that same time holds your AMS unit at it's standard "on top" location.
Plus, it uses the least amount of filament to print -for what it allows you to do.

Congrats @WoodiE

Here’s an idea for an easy and very useful print:
