8 Cool 3D Printed Things I made using the BambuLabs A1 3D Printer

[@mikeswift926]

Great video and it helped tipped me into buying the A1 over the Ender 3D. 20 minutes to assemble to pressing the button for 1st print. Wow its almost plug & play and so simple for a newbie 3D printer like myself. Exceptional quality from Bamboo Labs and have not regretted getting the Combo and not stopped printing for over a week now, just love it.

[@trent6775]

Bro what are those grounds... You need to grind wayyyy finer for espresso!

[@WildRoseBuilds]

shot that late at night and didn't want to waste the good stuff on a product demo! haha

[@00WhiteBlade]

@@WildRoseBuilds That's a pretty rough espresso machine too man. I recognize that handle. How's burning your hand on the steam every time you loosen the cap going lmao Great vid tho

[@Punk·Fisch]

I was sooo confused by that xDD ​@@WildRoseBuilds valid reason tho!

[@arranwilliams2523]

I love my A1 so happy to have the new Heatbed and all the project kits with the Bamboo bucks!!!

[@WildRoseBuilds]

Yes!! i just picked up the textured build plate pack. carbon fiber first layers should be awesome! :P

[@Cjx0r]

I love how Bambulabs picks and chooses who gets good customer service and which shipments get prioritized over others. I've sent back a faulty AMS weeks ago for a replacement I haven't heard jackshit from them since confirming they received the unit. Complete bait'`n switch to get me to send back the unit and now I have a P1S combo I haven't been able to use in weeks because half the combo won't ship back to me from Bambulabs. It's what I get for dropping $1400 in their company to get shafted but I'm glad they prioritize the youtube reviewer above all so the appearance of good business is maintained.

[@lysergicpillamyd483]

Bambu Labs is trash. The printers really don't do anything more than what any other printer can do. Sure you may have to do the fine tuning yourself compared to a Bambu Labs automated calibrations, but you can get any printer to run just as good. The customer service alone on top of the overall price makes it not worth it.

[@Cjx0r]

@@lysergicpillamyd483 generally agree. I kind of got over the whole "dialing it in" phase very quickly and usually just use a printer for prototyping or just general home improvement. P1S was a pretty decent choice but you'll find it lacking a few weeks in when you realize youre stuck on that 256 cubed build plate and stuck buying their ever changing-price filament spools. Srsly, I've have this printer for not even 2 months and I've seen the price of filaments change 3 times in that period. They also update their warranty frequently but don't change the date like no1 has and archive of how it changed since last week.

[@vaethe]

As far as I can tell the only good thing is the speed, bringing proprietary software and firmware into an open source market should be a crime. 3d printing it’s pretty much the one thing where it’s generally accepted that you can modify your own property thoroughly and completely. Almost every market is currently full of greedy corporations that wants to make it difficult to service or modify things you pay for in whole, just so they can squeeze more money out of you by making you send stuff in for service.

[@miweb3235]

​@@lysergicpillamyd483I am really glad I got my kobra 2. They are cheap as hell on eBay. I thought the bamboo Labs might have been a game-changer but I see that it's just you can use more than one filament color without stopping. Yes seems they were hyped to look like the next thing. I'm really glad that I read in the comments somewhere when someone was talking about all these printers and how the new ones coming out are the same as the old ones without any new features! 😂 You can get the Cobra 2 neo for dirt cheap!

[@SRNAR8]

Returned my P1P and got an Elegoo N4 Max. Elegoo is much better once tuned and there are plenty of youtube videos that show this

[@ritirikghosh9290]

shouldn't you make you coffee grounds finer for espresso machine?

[@OreoGTVR1]

A1 user here when using the AMS system in multicolor prints with more than 1 object theres an option to print 1 object with its colors and then it will start to print the other object resulting in less poop. Always when slicing check the amount of flushed filament. The problem you had here every layer it swapped filament resulting in a LOT of poop.

[@ItsDaPlumber]

Nice video but wondering why I see a print tower on the Build plate when you're doing a single color?

[@x70457x]

I'm curious about that as well.

[@x70457x]

@@orkhonal That's interesting, thank you!

[@WildRoseBuilds]

This is for the smooth time-lapse! it helps with the oozing during the time-lapse shot and ensures no stringing or blobs get dragged back into the print. it's also hollow so not super wasteful. thanks for watching!

[@FunIncredibleMoments-r9d]

wow, this video is super impressive! you really showcased some amazing skills with the BambuLabs A1. but honestly, i wonder if 3D printing is becoming a bit too mainstream? it seems like every other person has one now, and I hope it doesn't take away from the uniqueness of handmade items. just a thought!

[@alkeryn1700]

i find it amazing that they are accurate enough for mechanisms.

I’m getting the A1 tomorrow and upgrading to the AMS later on right now I don’t have the money for the combo just the a1 and I’m very excited

[@Pauluz_The_Web_Gnome]

Thanks for this video, you made me excited to get one!

[@miweb3235]

I love these videos though because just from the mouse idea I think I'll try to do a sideways mouse! Hell yeah 👍

[@johnnyhellfire6]

Why is yours doing purge towers on single colors?

[@LoganKale-i4d]

The change of color is so often on some prints, you are better off to print in the lightest color for the entire piece, then when done take off those that are the base color, and get a small paint sprayer and fill the other areas color with a plastics safe paint to reduce the plastics poop on each color switch. That is if many prints are large and have many layers w more than one color.

[@kevin-haggerty]

Im so pumped I am getting mine this week!! Its my frist printer. I was a mechanic for over 20 years and I have a ton of inventions and ideas I am gonna print!!

[@boazandruth909]

When doing multi prints you can print them separately on the bed at the same time using diff colors instead of one at a time per print

[@cameronwilson1815]

Yeah but it would create a lot of waste because between each layer the nozzle would have to purge twice creating two "Poops" per layer, so it would get very wasteful very quickly. With most of these prints there's not enough space between pieces to be able to fit them both on the bed without intefering with the nozzle.

[@boazandruth909]

@@cameronwilson1815 whether u print one or 100 of the same object it’ll purge the same amount.

[@cameronwilson1815]

@@boazandruth909 I dont understand what you're talking about, all the prints he done were different he didnt print any of the same prints multiple times without changing something about it

[@gokhankartal.]

2:00 okay that's coffee crime here. tf is the grind size?

[@LexxDesign3D]

Does finely stirring the coffee grounds actually change the taste? Seems like you could use a toothpick and save 60 bucks

[@WildRoseBuilds]

when water is forced through uneven coffee grounds it tends to take the path of least resistance leading to some of the more densely packed areas of grounds not getting fully saturated. tamping the grounds usually elevates this and ensures everything in your portafilter is at the same density. a toothpick definitely works but a wdt tool just adds another fun step to the ritual of coffee making. I'm no coffee snob but its fun to dabble in the world of tech and coffee sometimes!

[@yungapplemoose735]

@@WildRoseBuildstrue but the coffee grounds in the video doesn’t seem nearly fine enough to have a noticeable difference

[@crowguy506]

I strongly recommend a reflector to send the poop straight down. Saves you from getting messy.

[@slashmon1]

Just a suggestion to save you time and filament, you do not need prime/purge towers on single colour prints. Great video

[@WildRoseBuilds]

Thanks for the tip! That prime tower is to catch oozing during the timelapse shot. I’d rather have stray blobs on a sacrificial tower than the print! 😅

[@slashmon1]

@WildRoseBuilds that is a valid point, keep up the great content

in all these years there have been amazing breaktroughs and innovation in 3d printing... but we are still printing useless crap.... every video i see could basically be summed up as "i got a 3d printer and i have no idea how to justify the money i spent, so lets print a bunch of useless gimmicks that will look cool while they collect dust on a shelf"

[@WildRoseBuilds]

rest assured these machines print countless prototypes and functional prints when not being filmed. nobody wants to watch a timelapse of my cnc hold down fixtures and custom networking brackets haha

[@synterr]

Why, while using only one color it is printing a tower in the back?

[@user-uk3gc2dk3h]

How are your prints so clean? I printed the poop bucket for example, and get very visible thick lines in the walls, at random places? No matter what i print i get these bulging layer lines at random places :(

What machine did you print it on? The a1?

[@user-uk3gc2dk3h]

@@WildRoseBuilds Yup the A1. Had it since release. Worst print quality i've had on any printer. Tried tuning and tinkering with anything mechanical, and slicer settings - Can't find anything. No one else seems to have this issue. Tried contacting BL Support - Their support didn't give one fuck, and would just keep on telling me to do a flow calibration, etc. Honestly pretty pissed. Wish i didn't buy the thing - My old ender prints waaay better :((

[@itswednsdaymedudes4848]

why r u using a prime tower when printing in 1 colour u only need it for multi coloue

[@retro93277]

Why were there purge towers on your single color RED ?

[@BlackKnight2000]

The Timelapse function he uses stops the printer and moves the extruder out of the way after each layer to take a picture. During the stop plastic oozes from the extruder nozzle so it uses that tower to wipe the ooze away so it doesn’t make a blob or imperfection on the actual object he’s printing when it goes back to continue.

[@pixeldojo]

Omg! Your espresso grind is way too coarse for its purpose.

[@23456bill]

You printed the rocket with the ams on so it made a pruge tower.

Broooo! if you wanna make your espresso taste better, start with grinding your beans x10 finder.

I got my bought my A1 online today the problem is I need Bambu to send it to a third party shipper then to my I live in saudi arabia so I paid like 8 or 700 dollars

[@almag6872]

My A1 arrived broken out of the box, which naturally wasn't discovered until after the assembly and calibration processes. But that wasn't the worst part. The nightmare began when I started dealing with Bambu's tech support. One tech in particular wanted me to disassemble the entire X-Arm for an issue that really just needed a dab of hot glue . . but he assured me that the agonizing process he insisted upon "would make me more familiar with the printer." Long story short, the tech support experience was so counterproductive I just sent the thing back. Life is too short to deal with that kind of insanity.

[@kavorka8855]

you’re selling the printer, nothing wrong with that though
