Modeller tries 3D FDM Printing for the 1st time using Bambu Lab A1

I am a complete novice when it comes to FDM 3D printing but wanting to try making various hobby room infrastructure like tool holders etc and eventually trying making ship hulls I took advantage of Bambu Lab sale of their A1 printer after watching many reviews.

Hi Captain, Very nice printer! As far as removing finished prints, you can remove them as soon as they are finished, but sometimes it takes quite a bit of force. I usually wait for them to cool and the prints pretty much fall off. Make sure to clean the print bed between prints. The smallest amount of oil from your hands can prevent the filament from sticking properly. Some wash their build plates with dish soap, others use IPA. I've been using a tiny amount of acetone on a paper towel. You will have to experiment to see what works for you. My resin printer is supposed to be delivered today. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff

Hi Jeff, thanks for the advice. That's exciting news. I checked it out, very nice, you should have lots of fun with it.

Wouldn't a high-resolution resin printer be better for your modelling purposes?

Thanks for watching. It would indeed and I bought one of them 1st for that purpose. I used it for making tiny detailed parts used in the steam pinnace video. I wanted a FDM printer to make tool holders, storage, jigs etc and eventually for large scale ship hulls.
