@@Blindbrick2 the unit (in this guise) relies on air movement, not solely pressure. There are vent holes in the nozzle which ensure sufficient airflow to keep the motor cool.

So pleased I could help. Good luck with your printing.

So pleased you liked the video. Good luck with your printing.

Thank you.

Really pleased you found the videos useful.

Hi macnet1. Just noticed your post, sorry for the delay. I'm a County Durham lad, grew up in a little pit village called South Hetton. Left there when I was 18 in 1986, still got the accent, but it's mellowed a bit. I talk to the dog in my broad north Pit Yakker accent, so I reckon she's got an NE accent too. 🤣😂 I hope that, with you being from the old County Durham, you're red and white. 😁 🔴⚪🔴⚪🔴

@@MadMartMalloy Thanks for the reply mate I used to work as a Truck driver in South Hetton for a lad called Neil Ramshaw when I lived in Shiney Row ( or RAAAA as we called it), a million years ago. Great videos, by the way, I just bought my 3rd Bambu Lab this one being the mini as it was on sale and I had a discount voucher. Its the toon for me mate even though I went too Sunderland Uni as well :)

I can't remember a Neil Ramshaw. Only haulage company I remember is Burn Haulage, who have a yard behind Front Street next to the bridge (or should I say where the bridge was). Thanks for the compliment on the videos, unfortunately (or is it fortunately) my work has become so busy that I don't have chance to do them anymore. I also have a Bambu A1 Mini. They're fantastic little machines, I was tempted to buy another in the sale, but decided against it. I'm going for a little CNC to machine aluminium instead. I'm glad you made the move to Aus, one less Durham Mag can only be a good thing. 😉 Keep printing! Remember, you can never have too many printers!

Thank you so much for the comment. Thanks for highlighting your tip too. I'll try and add that in next time I do a video.

Thanks. See the links in the description to download for free from Cults.

So pleased I could help.

Thanks so much. Really nice to know that they're appreciated.

Thank you for the positive review. It's really appreciated. Glad I could help.

I made it myself. I've been looking for it on my PC, but can't find it. As soon as I do I'll share it and let you know.

Hi Andrew. Select prepare mode at the top of the screen and then click on the part. Click on the variable layer height icon and the graph should appear on the left hand side. If you click the adaptive button, colours will display on the graph and you can tweak them. Thanks for your comment and enjoy your printer.

Hi Bill Thanks for the comment. As stated in the title, this is very much the development of a concept and, as such, it has developed a lot in the short time since this video. The next video, which will be done next weekend, should demonstrate this. Rather than reinventing the wheel, we are evolving the wheel. If Heroscape is the stone wheel, hopefully this can be a step on the way to the wooden wheel. It's very much designed for the maker community and as such it is intended to continually evolve over time, with feedback from users and makers. While I know it won't suit everyone, different people have different needs and I'm fairly confident this will appeal to a good number of folk.

@@MadMartMalloy At first pass it seems like a lot of the 3d stl files already in the community. I'm curious as to where things are going to go in the future. Keep the videos coming so we can see the evolution.

Thanks for the tip. Appreciated. 👍

Is Gyroid the better infill?

@@giomjava Gyroid infill is generally better all around. Better strength, less material and faster print speed. CNC Kitchen did a thing on it.

@@rjakiel73 thank you!!

In my experience. Gyroid is much slower.

Good luck. I hope the tips work out for you. Thanks for the comment.

There are lots of different opinions on this. So what I'm saying is just my personal one. When powering things up from start there is a small electrical shock to the system as electricity flows through the circuitry. Some electrical components are sensitive and if they have a miniscule flaw this surge can cause them to fail. I believe that it is for this reason, many devices (such as your telly) have a standby mode. As your printer doesn't have a standby mode, I recommend leaving it on. The power draw will be minimal. However, to protect the printer I would recommend connecting the power lead to a surge protected extension lead or socket. Mains supply can fluctuate a lot, which can have a devastating effect on circuitry, and it is worth having this protection.

I'm theory, once the bed is levelled, you shouldn't have to level again. In practice, things do move a bit and removing and replacing the plate will have an effect. Leave it and you could have 10 or 20 prints before you get a leveling problem, but then you need to deal with that problem. Personally, I prefer having the 3-4 minute auto leveling cycle at the beginning of each print. This way, the risk of any issues is significantly reduced.

Glad I could help. Good luck.

I had an issue with the software I initially used. Unfortunately I can't go in and edit this video now it's posted. I'll have to do a new edit and replace this one.

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I've just checked the video. At 16.06 I have an inset video appear. It appears to run fine on my PC though. Sorry that you never got to see/enjoy the whole video.

@@MadMartMalloy I powered through it, but the double echo was trippy. Great videos, btw. I'm on day 2 of my 3D printing career. Just got into it yesterday. I'm trying to absorb all the info I can, and your videos are delivering it.

@@LtGrandpoobah Aha, it was the sound. Yes, I had some sound problems on this video. I'm assuming you've bought a Bambu. Great choice, have fun with it. It's relatively pain free compared to other printers out there. If you're stuck on anything don't hesitate to drop me a message in the comments section.

Great suggestion! I'll look into doing that. These prints were done at the default speed settings for PLA. (200mm/s outer wall 300mm/s inner wall and 270mm/s sparse infill). Obviously the actual speed will depend on acceleration and the distance moved. Hmmm? You've got me intrigued, I'll have to put this on my list of things to do.

Congratulations on your purchase, you won't regret it. Once a file has been sent, the slicer will jump to the device screen. This will show you the progress of the job. Once the job has downloaded to the printer (normally takes about a minute) you can close the slicer and shut down your PC.
