3D Printing My Desk Setup PowerPanel: SETUP BUILD PART 3 - Bambulab A1

[@MarkusReinisch]

Other thing with AMS you can do is support with 0 distance. PLA and PETG don’t stick to another, so you can make supports with 0 distance and this is very simple to break away.

[@FlatLanderTech]

That's absolutely genius, an incredibly awesome use case for the AMS that I had not considered, thank you @MarkusReinisch

[@Arne.Bornheim]

This video really inspired me to get a 3d scanner! Looks super nice for modelling and making stuff

[@FlatLanderTech]

Its absolutely game changing for those exact purposes, yesterday I took apart a precision electric screwdriver for a smaller EDC tool build and the scans that came out of that where just insane, its especially great for smaller objects, so stoked for the future. Do you have one aswel? or did you order one?

[@hovig]

You have a very calming voice and way you describe things

[@FlatLanderTech]

Its indeed a vibe id like to uphold. some people dislike it but I've come to like an authentic energy level in that regard :)

[@Bad_Mattitude]

This is really great! I'd really love to know what CAD software you use so seamlessly on your iPad.

[@VincentOrdioni]

I'm "pretty sure" having this kind of switches on main power is very dangerous but I'm not qualified to say for sure for sure

[@VincentOrdioni]

You need to use a relay I think?

[@CalmoDS99]

I was thinking exactly the same, it doesn't seem safe

[@anabell7184]

a fire extinguisher is wise to have in a workshop

[@FlatLanderTech]

Well, if you don’t see any new videos pop up, you’ll know what’s up XD The switches I implemented are rated for a voltage and amperage higher than what the Dutch network can provide (240 volts at 20 amps). It's true that most of these are rated for 24 volts, and I had to search for a while to find ones up to the task. However, I’m taking your concerns into consideration and doing additional research. Thank you for the feedback.

[@VincentOrdioni]

@@FlatLanderTech I didn't know this kind of switches was a thing. Good to know. Great video like always btw. Stay safe!

[@msnspy]

Would love to know your bamboo A1 timelapse set up. It looks smooth.

[@Argosh]

Those switches are fine as long as they're rated for the voltage and current you use. You'd still want to properly ground them though. Also you might want to invest in a cheap crimping tool. If you simply crimp on connectors you get auch safer connection, not that the way it is right now is unsafe, it's just not as safe as it should be nowadays.

[@tommyiub]

I binged all ur videos just now holy shit thanks for posting one more time before i slept

[@FlatLanderTech]

Haha thank you I'm glad you enjoyed !

[@kellymoses8566]

Generally to switch high voltage you use a relay with a say a 5 volt control line. You can even get optically isolated relays for the ultimate in safety.

[@JoelSchat]

How are you doing the timelapses with the A1?

[@FlatLanderTech]

I modded the side cap with a little switch that triggers the camera every time the print head hits it :)

[@JoelSchat]

@FlatLanderTech awesome! In the midst of setting one of those up as well

[@happylittletools]

Have you tried 3d scanning with the Lidar from an iphone or ipad to see how that compares with your new 3d scanner? especially when it comes to making 3d prints with accurate dimensions. I have used my ipads 3d scanner to scan rooms with +/- 1cm accuracy usually, which for such a large item, seems pretty great. But I haven't tried on small things for 3d print design use - mainly because I am not sure how to import and design from 3d models. As it is, i feel pretty basic at the 3d cad software i use to make my 3d prints.

[@FlatLanderTech]

Ive indeed been using the Lidar on my iPad for a lot of stuff similar to what your describing, the 3d scanner is quite a lot better at small objects tho its absolutely insane how much detail it captures, in this video I don't show it off quite as much but I'm doing a somewhat dedicated video on it soon :)

[@mikerichardsonuk]

What scanner are you using ?

[@FuryNBlood]

Awesome video! The timelapses quality are amazing, did you followed some tutorial for those or you made id by yourself? Appreciate you time!

[@FlatLanderTech]

Made this one myself, i might share the mod soon if i can find the time. its basically a little switch with a replacement cap at the side of the device that has a switch on it which triggers the camera.

[@X862go]

nice keep up the great work.

[@erwickdsouza]

I would suggest switching to an FX30/3 because of their reliability, ergonomics and integrated cooling fans. They also have full-sized HDMI ports. The image quality is not really a standout regardless of brand, they're all good.

[@TheGartender]

Question, why not relocate the switch the power strip already has instead of splicing the cable? You could probably keep the switches you have and just make it less...janky

[@Coolfwip]

What camera do you use and what lenses?? All very crispy

[@FlatLanderTech]

Its the Fuji XH2s with a 23mm F1.4 from viltrox :)

[@Creative_Electronics]

Very nice video :)

[@FlatLanderTech]

Glad you enjoyed

[@KerenWang]

How is CAD on the iPad? What software do you use? Would you say it is more intuitive and ergonomic to draw with a pen on the go?

[@RDBeerman]

He’s using shapr3d

[@MarkusReinisch]

Use myself shapr3d at the ipad. Yes it much more simple to use a pen. Positive is the desktop app with synchronized all files from the ipad. It it not cheap, monthly subscription, but when you like to work at the ipad comfortably it’s one way.

[@thingswelike]

@@MarkusReinisch Is the free version any use? I see the Pro version is free for students which is useful in my family for the next few years.

[@MarkusReinisch]

@ yes there is a free version but limited to 2 models and not all export options.

[@FlatLanderTech]

As @MarkusReinisch mentioned its indeed very nice to use a pen, highly recomend shapr3d, its so intuitive that ive never actually watched a tutorial on how it works, pretty legit.

[@4tra]

im late to the video :( was busy few days. so now chilling with cup of coffe and seeing you making stuff i allways wanted to make :D i have an urge to Buy Bambu lab printer for years now... still cant save for it. wanted a 3d scanner too :D but man that stuff you got is really not for my pocket.... But man i do respect you and all the stuff you do :) Keep it up. i will allways will be waiting for your videos and projects.

[@FlatLanderTech]

Glad to hear from you again @4tra! :) Haha its funny I personally often watch gameplay videos when I'm modelling stuff, because I don't personally have time to game anymore, but its quite nice that other people then upload it so we can still enjoy, I guess we are kind of sharing parts of life through this medium, which is such a strange thing to think about like 30 years ago that would have been impossible. Do you have a 3d printer ?

[@4tra]

@@FlatLanderTech No not yet :) i would love to Buy one but man.. it's difficult here to get hands on one :D but definately im going to buy myself a nice christmas present :D i allways wanted 3d printer/ cnc mill and a welder :D thats the three things im most looking forward to getting. :D

[@seklerek]

What scanner model is that?

[@FlatLanderTech]

its the CR Scan Raptor :)

[@thereal_wertzui]

There aint no freaking way this dude is actually an engineer, great filmmaking, but for example, the 3d scanning had me as an electronical engineer screaming to JUST LOOK IN THE FU*KING DATASHEET

[@MarkusReinisch]

Maybe you use PETG HF instead of PLA. I switched to PETG HF, cause it is much more heat resistant and flexible than PLA, perfect for my automotive usecase. And with HF Version from Bambulabs you are not limited with lower print speed than PLA. Newest filament is TPU for AMS. Ordered today some for testing. When it works like intended then it is perfect because I don’t want to change everytime manually to TPU.

[@claytonkitchens4097]

How do you import your 3d scans into shapr3d? I also use shapr and was thinking about picking up a scanner but I only use it on my iPad basically so wasn’t sure how that process would work

[@FlatLanderTech]

I export the scan as an STL on the Scanner software, send it over to the ipad via either Airdrop or google drive, hit import at the top with the little 3 dots, select the file, its going to ask if you want to import in, mm and all the other stuff, i keep it on mm, and its in, and in that way its emediately accurate aswel. :)

[@claytonkitchens4097]

@ awesome! Thank you so much!

Love your content and subbed but please use a better switch or ferruls. That cabeling was horrific

[@metaphoricallyspeaking]

Really enjoying your videos. Also doing some desk mod projects, but nowhere near your level of ambition! :)

[@FlatLanderTech]

Glad your enjoyed the vids thank you :) that's awesome to hear! desk mods are really fun, what are you working on?

[@metaphoricallyspeaking]

@@FlatLanderTech nothing crazy. creating a recessed area for a gridfinity grid and designing different tops for when the grid isn't in use - such as a cutting mat, mouse pad, surface for top-down video, etc.

[@FlatLanderTech]

That sound really awesome! the multifunctionality sounds really neat :)

[@nateekard9937]

we don't need to have llm's in 3d printers

[@FlatLanderTech]

You don't want to have arguments with your 3d printer? kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPUkIZ3qrZ3m8U

[@nateekard9937]

@FlatLanderTech No funny reference aside LLM's are built on copyright infringement and theft. It goes against every value the 3D printing community stands for. From the beginning 3D printing has been about like-minded engineers, enthusiasts, hobbiest, and tinkerers, coming together as a community to build an open sourced project mostly just because it seemed cool to do. Adding turblet and unethically trained, sourced, and run systems like LLM's to that would be poison in the well.

[@au9ustx]

But why not use a wireless keyboard and mouse

[@FlatLanderTech]

Its indeed my intention to upgrade to some wireless version but for now mostly busy with other stuff :)

[@djcstyle]

please use a relay and watch some videos from a real electrician. that's really dangerous, don't get injured :o

[@AlexBlack]

Your problem was solved with the help of a caliper, an inexpensive 3D scanner

[@BaconbuttywithCheese]

MIL spec switches will outlast you. Not cheap tho. Nice design.

[@FlatLanderTech]

I don't mind paying as long as its solid, so thank you for letting me know about these MIL spec switches ive checked it out, looks like legit!

[@achannelhasnoname5182]

Using just stranded wires on screw terminals for AC is quite dangerous and against any electrical code. I'd fix it before anything happens, your insurance wouldn't even cover it.

[@KirinDave]

I just checked and in my US State, that's not illegal for that type of terminal. I don't see a broader enclosure to the mainstream switchers though and I think that's illegal in the box (and also dangerous). Whats illegal here is the unshielded cable box not being fixed to a wall. But this is a technicality because once the panel had its own external shielding it's a bit of a grey zone on if it's an appliance or a cable box.

Thank you again with the awesome suggestion ill be looking into this! love the awesome support with these comments @MarkusReinisch

[@MarkusReinisch]

@ Thanks. I do 3d printing for 20 years now and hope I share some of my experience.

[@FlatLanderTech]

Woaa that's a long time! that's so cool! how did that happen? I can imagine in the early days it would have been a lot less accessible or extremely expensive to do.

[@MarkusReinisch]

@@FlatLanderTech now the bambulabs printers are so good the result is very good with no knowledge. In the first days of printing you have to tinkle a lot for a good result. Because so much things was not consistent the print results varied a lot. My first good printer was the ultimaker mk1. Made from wood. Cheaper are nowadays the printer also.
