I make wooden dollhouse furniture and faucets are probably the most difficult thing to get right. Also, I want to say you gave me the courage to try multi color and I got the A1. Love it so far!
A1 has been good to me as well. I have not had any issues with the A1's AMS like I have with my X1C AMS
Very difficult to get them smooth enough! I used to make everything out of sheets of basswood and glue together. My biggest challenge was plumbing like toilets, tubs and sinks. Thanks!
This is where FreeCAD could help. I have designed some items that print as separate models, but are really subparts of a larger peirce.
I'll look into it. Thanks!
Those vanities look really nice. If you are looking for something that looks a bit more like chrome for the faucets I found that Silver Silk looks very nice, I used Polymake Polylite as it was what was available when I ordered.
Ok thanks so much!
have you considered getting the double sided smooth PEI for your x1c? it popped up on the US store recently, sadly can't get it here in aus yet. It would save you from having to use gluestick I think
I just got in the high temp pei/engineering plate. I must've missed that! But I have used the one I have a couple of times and LOVE it. Thanks!
Just curious, since you have the models, why are you joining them and then painting them? I would think it would be easier to keep them as separate parts, and then assign the parts the color you want. Since Bambu Slicer is based on Prusa slicer it should be possible. Also may be a good idea to model registration 'bumps' on the top of the vanity, that go into the bottom of the counter so glueing them together would be easier.
I just figured it would be easiest to have them spaced correctly but you're right, it would require less painting. And yes the more tabs, the easier to get everything lined up. Thanks!
They came out great. How many can you print at once on the X1?
So the single vanity takes 1 hour 14 mins. But if I max out the print bed, I can print 24 in 4 hours 30 mins. Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting I learned a lot with my Rat Rig printers, to be careful to balance throughput vs a failure. I can print so many at one time on the 500mm bed, but if one fails and ruins them all - is it worth it?
Very good video as always!
Is it good economy to print on the multi colour systems? vs time to assemble and glue etc?
It's more time on the printers. But the end product is perfectly centered etc without worrying about glue globs. Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting okay 😊✌🏻
I’ve been researching the BambuLab X1C+AMS recently, and the one thing that’s tough to stomach is the waste from the AMS. In models I’ve sliced, the purge and priming tower consume more plastic than the model, even for some very large models. What kind of numbers do you see for grams of filament used for objects vs. waste?
The top with the partial faucet had about 30 filament changes. If she could get 15 or so on the plate at one time the waste would not be too bad. From the video the display shows about 10 grams of waste for one model, but that would be the same for 15.
It really depends on how complicated the print is. If it's just simple layer changes, it'll just be a squiggle of filament each time. If it's multiple colors per layer, it's going to be that many more squiggles. But you can see before you print how much waste there will be. And yes woodwaker1 is right. If you can get a bunch on the build plate, you have the same amount of waste as a single item. Thanks!
@@tada3dprinting I installed BambuStudio so I could slice some sample models and look at the numbers. With the Prusa MMU2 I tweaked purge amounts since it requires less purging going to darker colors than vice-versa, and I see it’s possible to do that in BambuStudio as well. It still winds up with a lot of purged material on the models I was slicing, often more plastic than the model itself!
There are some places in the US and EU that will take scrap for credit on future filament purchases. I have not used any of them, but I am saving my bigger scraps and failed prints now.
