Hi there - is this model printable ?
you dont want to know how many spools are gone.
now i want to know if such a model is printable at all.
i want it at 210x210x210 - PLA
i never had a problem as this.
ok…supports is needed - but i tried to adjust …speed. supports, brim , strengh …
a) i get one (!!!) print done - but filament was over - at the last 2 cm…because the Filaments are perfect - but on fit to my bad investment named AMS …so after replacing the spool against a new one … the x1c was printing into the air - damn.
b) even on this print the surface is smooth on 25% surfeace - ironing and so on - no setting worked - saw it on slicer befor - that the colors of the shell where diffrent - but tried it. Even in this case - is there any possibility to get one side were you are looking at , smooth ? how is this done ?
c) the one print worked to 95% was full of support - with generic one - to get it out - as hard as fitness session but with a screwdriver - and it damagend some surfaces…this is no option at the end.
d) with tree support (slim, strong . hybrid) - : mostly spagethis or the bridges bet to the moon - and all crashed.
is it possible for a “pro” to get this done at all ?
Tree support looks most promising. However, there is still a lot of support and will be hard to remove. Your best bet is to use a water soluble material (PVA) as support and print this on an independent dual extruder printer and wash the support away after printing.
Hi jay…
i am only printing since some month.
today i know that IDEX/dual head would be best at all - because of time and waste - never ever will buy a printer with ams…
but now i spent the 2k …
so …
but thanks for answering but not making me happy )
to be honest - i would even sell x1c+ams because there are now 2 day without a new problem.
if you buy for buissines - you r broke befor getting a banking statement - clearly to avaoid.
on one month i own x1c+ams i spend at least 300$ for replacement/upgrades of under-engineerd parts.
i think there is not only one where is no STL for replacement. Loud FANs , PETG accessory, filament in/out , parts to print in order to get the top glas is getting hit … ams roles …and so on.
I am soooo happy - cant tell you.
and at the end: now way to print with half of the commercial speed.
no way to print in a persistant way because of studio/fw releases…
curious : i realy miss my Ender
To print with PLA a non-printing-friendly design implies hard work in the pre and post-processing:
Supports are critical, either regular or tree, but carefully and manually defined.
Using support material for the interface with the print (expensive) may light your post-processing work;
Since it is not a functional print, you may do strategic cuts to minimise the support need - it will add the need to assemble to post-processing;
You can always rely on post-processing, e.g. removing supports, sanding, filling, painting, etc… There are many tutorials, and doable if you have tools, patience, care and like manual work.
If you need glueing parts, there are many specialised types of glue in the market, but for this kind of print and material, superglue or acetone on the surface work well - if you have no experience, try with a small print.
Alternatively, you may design or remix the file to be more printing friendly.
The designer has not provided any indication that they printed the model. Nor has anyone else for that matter.
This design appears to have been posted purely as a challenge in a Printable’s Vase Mode Vase competition back in October of 2022. No one has posted a make from the competition or otherwise.
In spirit of the model’s author/designer/poster on Printables
It is so rare, that I think that cannot be printed...
Model looks fine for printing.
It slices fine with tree support and 35° support threshold angle. I’d use strong tree support in that case.
Said that, it’s not something I’d print myself. It looks fugly and not practical. And cleaning it would be a hellish process
Understand your sentiment. IDEX can be helpful in some situations. But Bambu is one very capable printer, arguably the best single toolhead printer you can buy today. You will be able to print most things out there with great outcome. AMS adds the capability of multi-color, multi-material, and filament backup. IDEX might be better in this particular case, but it suffers from reduced build volume (2 toolheads), slower printing speed (heavier load on XY because now there are two toolheads) and additional bed levelling issues (2 nozzles to level with bed as opposed to one). While no printer is truly one size fits all, Bambu should fulfill your need in 99% of the cases and doing so with fantastic print result and incredible speed.
Agreed. That “vase” is poorly designed for FDM 3d printing. The only image the author showed was putting it in Prusa Slicer. I am willing to bet the author did not manage to print one themselves. SLS and SLA can print this easily but that’s beyond the scope of what OP is asking here.
