Use Bambu Lab's FREE Pixel Puzzle Maker to make some fun!

[@RedERscrubs]

I’ve seen this EVERY time I’ve gone to the maker lab & never explored it-thank you!! I think I’ll give it a shot!

[@stldenise]

Thanks for showing off the pixel maker -- the people at Bambu have some neat tools to help us non designers!

[@BV3D]

Hi Denise! I want to do the sign maker next. I've used that one a few times, too.

[@stldenise]

@@BV3D Awesome -- I've played around with the vase maker, but not the sign one.

[@BV3D]

The sign maker is a simpler tool compared to the pixel maker. I've made some door hanger signs like, "Video Recording In Progress" to put on the studio door. :) Helps prevent accidental cameos in time lapses and stuff.

very cute and a good idea. thanks for sharing. good to see you been a while.

[@BV3D]

Thank you! 😊

[@mahughesnh]

Great episode! I was thinking of trying the pixel maker, now I definitely will! Love the t-shirt!!!

[@BV3D]

Thanks! (and Thanks!)

[@DroneSkinz]

Thanks for showing this. I'm gonna give it a try.

[@BV3D]

You're welcome! Let me know how it goes!

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Bryan. Cool stuff!

[@BV3D]

Thanks for watching, Ron!

[@getbent57]

Super cool. Need to check that out.

[@BisphamTangerine]

Many thanks Brian, this was a lovely and smooth walk through of a product I didn't even know about as an A1 owner! I'm very excited by the thought of you creating a series of these videos talking about all the other great creative tools out there! 🙂

[@BV3D]

You're very welcome! I'm Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NeonDreams7]

Great tutorial! Thanks!

[@BV3D]

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

i think in your case you could've just erased the darker blues that you turned into the main blue. it looked like those being taken away would've solved it in less steps. 12 years as a technical animator and i just want to save everyone clicks! haha

[@BV3D]

😀 Good points - Thanks for the tips! Sometimes I just like clicking, though... 😅

[@thegrafxguy1]

@@BV3D nothing wrong with that either! sometimes clicking away is super zen!

Is it possible to use this amazing tool for non bambu printers/ stl?

[@BV3D]

Hi! Yeah, you can! The .3MF files can be opened by PrusaSlicer and OrcaSlicer, in addition to (of course) Bambu Studio. If you've got your printer already set up with PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer, you should be able to print these out, though you may need to rearrange the parts if, for example, a plate full of pixel pieces won't easily fit on your printer's bed in the slicer. I tried opening a .3MF file in Cura, but it didn't load anything. If Cura is your main slicer, you can temporarily use PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer, and export the parts as STL files and then import them into Cura.

Really nice. Thanks for the video. Only i don't have a MakerWorld account so i will let this pass.

[@BV3D]

No worries, and thanks for watching! MakerWorld accounts are free, if you want to set one up. But I also understand if you don't.

Dad shirt on point as always.

Cofffffeeeeee. ☕️☕️

[@thomasglauser1790]

can multiple plates be combined to one big? is there a connector available? to allow huge pixel puzzles like 64*64 or even bigger...

[@BV3D]

Hi! Yes, for example, the 32x32 setting would have been four of the 16x16 plates arranged as a square. On projects that span multiple plates, there are connecting pins so you can snap the plates together.

[@thomasglauser1790]

@@BV3D is it possible to select a 64*64 (or 128*128)? or is 32*32 the max? and what is the limit in terms of number of colors? (a huge puzzle might look nicer with 8 or even 16 colors)

[@BV3D]

@@thomasglauser1790 hi! Using the 16x16 base plate, you can go up to 64x64 (that would be 560mm square). Using the 24x24 base plate, you can go up to 96x96 pixels, which would be 840mm square). The color palette seems to max out at 12 colors.

Great way to make pixel art and avoid the ironing of hama/perler/artkal beads. hope you do not mind a question, ¿is there a way to generate a package of small, medium large plates and more than enough "pixels" to make any pixel art you want without the need to upload an image in to the website?. Like when you buy big bags of hama beads (several colors) and some plates, then search for a pixelated image you like and start beading. This way you can print one or more plates (with connectors depending of the size of the pixel art you want), and some full plates of pixels (you just print one plate for every color needed and repeat if in need of more pixels) then sit down with a cup of hot coffe of cocoa maybe some music and pixel art to your hearts content.
