So I bought a 3d printer (2 Viewers)

[Grimace]

Took the plunge and bought a 3d printer. Got it last week and it hasn’t stopped printing items for my nieces and nephews and my brother in law and son. A few items.

Eye of Sauron dice tower. Printed in 5 parts

Super Mario Kleenex holder

Groot Headphone holder

Mine Craft Creeps

Golden Snitch and a UniPotamus

This thing is amazing. One of these days I’ll get to print myself something.

Love the groot headphone holder and the Mario Kleenex holder!

How steep was the learning curve? Looks like maybe you already had some experience working these given the sharp early results.

What printer did you get? I got bit by the bug a long time ago and we're up to 3 working printers now.

Zero experience. Unboxed it and printed a Benchy and then opened the flood gates to family requests. Had a couple of fails in printing the round centre of the Snitch but mostly just click and print.

Dice tower? Please tell me it's called this because it's stacked like dice. Because if it isn't & it involves casino dice I NEED IT!!! (Barad durbadass)

You put dice in the top and it hits angles built inside to roll them for you and spits them out into a courtyard at the bottom. Mario and it are tied for coolest thing I’ve made so far.

A Bambu labs p1s with the Ams it’s amazing.

@TheRealTeddyKGB I could probably print you a dice tower and cup to match.

@Grimace and I have been talking about joining forces so he can provide my products in Canada. Maybe I could do the same for him offering his stuff in US.

The Bambus definitely look nice. I've got a Prusa mk4, a Prusa mini, and an Anycubic Photon for doing resin prints

 

[Grimace]

The press max would be awesome with 5 heads but my wife would divorce me. lol. I’d need to sell a lot of creations.

 

[Antrooper]

These looks great. I was thinking to get a Bambu printer in the near future. The quality on this printer is just wonderful.

I would highly recommend them. I had a Qidi tech q1 pro on presale and cancelled it for a anycubic kobra 3 with ams and cancelled it since the Bambu stuff went on anniversary sale and couldn’t be happier

 

[doriondo]

+1 for bambu printers. Thats the only brand I use now.

Can you 3d print custom inserts for Apache cases. That would be pretty awesome and likely in high demand

I might just have to figure out design just for this reason. That would be awesome.

 

[Grimace]

Another dice tower. This one turned out great. Black/green filament.

 

[ovo]

Is the material that you print with expensive ?

 

[Grimace]

Is the material that you print with expensive ?

Not usually no. Around 20-25 a roll for most colours.

 

[demonnic]

And a roll is a kilo of thermoplastic, and most things are not printed solid but with a 5-25% infill percentage depending on weight and strength needs. So it tends to go a long way. The time it takes to print things on the other hand... so much anticipation

 

[Grimace]

3d printed pictures. Who knew. Turned out awesome I would say.

We have an X1C with AMS at school here. I concur, this is the nicest printer I've used yet.

Elaborate on what you mean. Any pics? Might not be too hard to do.

I’m guessing like the custom foam inserts from case builder I think.

yeah. doesnt have to be foam, could be firm shell that just fits into apache cases with slots for chips. Maybe like in the aluminum cases, but stackable trays that fit apaches.

So this happened and it’s pretty awesome. lol

Did you wear that on opening night for the movie?

I did not but I’m thinking my printer can make the best Halloween mask anyone’s ever seen. Wolverine has always been a favourite so it was more because of that love that I made this.
