I’ve done a few big orders. When they ship stuff separately, you don’t have to pay extra shipping. I ordered an AMS with a bunch of filament. They shipped the filament right away and the AMS came almost a month later.
So, as long as your order met the free shipping or you paid for shipping, you’re good.
My first colored Lithophane had to be a Grateful Dead Print. Pretty demanding and I think it came out quite well! Good job Bambu for putting together a good package with Lithophane Maker software.
So here is the update. The one above was made using the 1st profile on Lithophane Maker. This is using the 4th profile Solid CMYK. Much better!! It dumped a lot more yellow into it and added the blue into the sky. So moving forward I will most likely just use the CMYK profile.
I never ever get updates about products coming back in stock.
I once got an update for charcoal matte but only after I saw it was available again, ordered 4 rolls, and got the notification that the filament had shipped… Then and only that one time didn’t get any form of notification letting me know something was available.
I’ve checked spam etc… Unless they are sending it “invisible” I’m not getting updates on products.
I switched to the 0.2mm and the poop is redicoulousness on steroids. There are not a lot of filament switches but the purge is just silly. I lowered it to 0.5 and upped the prime volume. This helped but still, lots of filament is thrown out. That said, it’s not all that much per print. So, the bundle should make a large number of prints.
I’m struggling to get the prints everyone else is getting. Other than those issues, it’s really neat.
Thank you for the insight. So it’s effectively printing tie dye or multi-colored clouds right now.
I know personally seeing how well versed some users are due to industry/experience, it can be a bit embarrassing on my end with just how little I know about the field.
Ahh im sorry to hear about the poop. I thought maybe with the mixing of colours it would be more efficient. I’ve made quite a few lithophanes with the .4mm nozzle an a .2mm layer height and was very impressed with the detail and the small amount of filament used. I read in the post above about the two different slicing settings giving very different colour results. Have you played around with the slicer settings since switching nozzles? I appreciate the info, still waiting on it to come back it stock, I even put off getting the ams this month.
