I just started in this hobby, I just want to say that you have the best (and most on brand for me as a Star Wars nerd) 3d printing content out there for a beginner. You go in depth in a way that's the perfect cadence for teaching something like this. I have watch a good chunk of your library already. Really appreciate all your work!!! -New Subscriber
There is the semi-debate on if it is a purge tower or prime tower. I lean towards prime tower where it rebuilds pressure in the hot end after a purge. Most of time it is needed to have proper flow as it starts printing each layer / color or could have minor gaps. If using a purge object (and it can absorb full purge volumes, and you don’t care about possible minor gaps) you can eliminate the tower.
I wish this video was around when I started multi colour printing a month or so ago 😅 really great tips and ideas. One thing I do when I can't remember what colour is in what slot (as my printer is in another room from my pc) is update them on Bambu handy and then reference that when on Orcaslicer or Bambu studio. Great video as always, looking forward to an update on Chopper 😎
I had the same issue recently with all the seams and weirdness on the back of a print. The way around it is I extrude the whole back part like -2mm in fusion as its own component. Then all The seperate parts extrude +2mm to their own components. Then when you load into the slicer you use the component colour change drop downs in the objects tab. Works a treat and much easier than the paint tool.
This was crazy helpful to me. I've been creating individual svg files for each color and importing them in to the same plate, and selecting the filament for each assembly. This works except it gets really finicky with compound paths. I've definitely been doing it the hard way. From now on it's going to be one svg and then paint it in the slicer. I've painted plenty of models but never considered doing it this way for my own svgs (for light boxes). Thank you for the video!
I have an A1 Mini and an AMS Lite. It works fantastic. Even if you don't do multi-colour, you can load up four of your most commonly used colours and then just print without having to manually switch filaments. Print a blue thing, print a black thing, print a red thing etc... Really convenient. AMS swap time in my experience is usually between 1.25 and 1.50 minutes so it can add a LOT of time to your print. Even just one switch per layer adds at least one minute per layer to your print time.
Wow very impressive so much to learn and appreciate about 3D printing. Now that Bambu Lab has this Black Friday Sales going on, I need to check out the A1 combo and give myself an early Christmas gift. I Sub you as well as I truly appreciate you sharing your fun projects. Thank you so very much.
Look on makers world under the designer Tooling Lee, he designed some awesome stand / filament poop storage that keeps it clean on you table and makes it super easy to hold all the purge
Great video. But quick heads up: A single extruder printer (does not matter which one) is only able to reduce color blending by purging filament. Preventing it is technical impossible even tho at some level it’s very hard to spot. *.3mf files are nothing else as *.zip files. They include the actual *.stl file and some other, often slicer specific, metadata infos.
You just need to have more than 1 filament in your project. Right beside the flushing volumes button is the + and - filament buttons, just add at least a second filament and the flush settings button will show up.
I'm 7 minutes in and while REALLY interesting, I don't have the brains to take in what you are saying......you are WAAAAAY smarter than I am when it comes to this 🫶🏼

This video was great, but if I may... MOAR COASTERS!

It’s amazing what can be done with the bambu printer! Love your tutorial ❤
I have an A1 but not an AMS Lite yet. I can't wait to order one!!!
The AMS Lite and AMs are definitely game changers, love all of mine.

Great video! I needed these multi color tips so bad so thank you. Keep on building awesome things!
I enjoyed learning more on how to use Bambu studio. I had no clue you could do half of that.
이것을 실현하기 위해서 충분한 시간과 도전정신이 필요합니다 그리고 가장 중요한건 멀티컬러 프린터가 필요하죠

Awesome guide!
When you switched to gyroid, I subscribed... LOL, I was already subscribed.
Very helpful 💚🇬🇧🌱as always 🫶

Would a bambublab p1s be a good printer?
Orderes 12 kg of filament and the p1s combo!! After a year of thinking about ordering it
First! I just finished going through every video on your channel so very happy to see a new video right now :)
Are you going to review the k2 plus
Just wondering what stand you were using to hold the two AMS
This one: makerworld.com/models/16573
I’m sure you have been asked this a million times, but my wife absolutely loved your glasses. Can you share where you got them?
They’re the Andy Wolf 5086 glasses
@ thank you very much!
Someday
i dont even own a printer but i love watching her explain and print !! she's like the print Queen or the Obi wan Printcess !!

Before I go through the process, does the flushing option button appear when the AMS is connected? It is not displayed currently.
Or is it dependent on multiple filaments in a project?

@@MMsPropShop thank you!
Master 2 color printing and get an IDEX. The amount of waste and added cost is outrageous.
multi color takes too long...
what about printing your own multi color project rather than just printing other people's .3mf files...
There are painting options in Bambu studio so you can paint whatever model you load in.
