3D Printing Planetary Gear Fidget Spinner on Bambu A1

[@nannerpuss9430]

by the way, you can cut your purge material in half with some smart retraction gcode. Saves you some time too

[@CarolinaNative]

Thanks, I've heard that, but I've had my printer for like 3 weeks and still learning about 3D printing. Thanks for the advice.

[@IlGlanza]

hey man! looks that bed cable, you might get that cable damage in that position. Some A1's are showing that issue, and getting a damage callback by Bambu. So... you might want it check for safety reason.

[@CarolinaNative]

Yeah I saw the recall. I checked the back where it plugs into the base like they suggested and mine looks fine. Submitted a ticket with photos just in case. I'm printing the stress relief now. Or are you saying the orientation of my cable while running is bad?

[@IlGlanza]

​@@CarolinaNative For me it's the bending cable and hitting the wall while printing, its not the best position to work in my experience.

[@CarolinaNative]

Yeah I have since moved the table a little bit and cable no longer hits anything when the table travels all the way back. Thanks

[@Cheddar-420]

Such a neat little printer.

[@CarolinaNative]

Yeah it has exceeded all my expectations. Super happy with it

I have not yet pulled the trigger on purchase of this unit and now will wait longer until it is vetted much more. This video gives me so much help in my decision..Thank you. Subscribed....

[@CarolinaNative]

Thanks for subscribing. They have the-engineered the hot bed cable and as far as I know they are good to go

[@3doffsets163]

Ordered Mine and 31kg of filament lol

[@CarolinaNative]

@@3doffsets163 Nice. sounds like you're on your way :). I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine.

[@remconet]

vetted much more?? It's the best you can currently get.

[@remconet]

Why does it poop blue 3 times! Change the flush settings to 0,3. That saves you a ton on material.

[@CarolinaNative]

Thanks for the advice

[@funit64]

How often does this machine get clogged and jammed, if it’s anything like the Creality k1 then it’s a no go for me.

[@CarolinaNative]

Haven’t had a clog or jam in my A1 when I had it or my X1C now.

[@malykolomaz1201]

How long did it take?

[@CarolinaNative]

I think about 4 hours. Sorry I don’t remember exactly.

[@atriusvinius319]

So much wasted filament))

[@CarolinaNative]

Yeah. There are ways to reduce it, but for multicolor print in place there will always be waste with only 1 extruder.

[@remconet]

Yeah, they could've changed the flush settings by a lot. Mine doesn't poop that much. A 0,3 setting (in stead of 1) if perfectly fine.
