I take the .svg and convert it to .dxf. I then take the .dxf and import it into Shapr3d. I am then able to extrude the different pieces into a 3d object. This object is then exported to Bambu Studio where I can colour in the different parts up to 4 colours for each AMS connected to the printer.
Thank you for doing this video now I understand a little bit more. I still need to finish putting together those two ender 3's..... Where's a wand that works when you need one!
Yes I would also like to know what you are using and or if I can pay you to turn some stuff into files for me, as I am new to 3D printing and would love to be able to customize things for my cheerleading program
I also ran into this issue myself. After importing the image, cleaning up the colors and starting the download process only to discover that this isn't a free program.
Awesome Video! Can you do a video of how you make your text on Illustrator? like an illustrator class to make text and do a stroke test so when it gets printed it all the letters hold together.
Great tutorial! I just wish I could remember the name of the font I used to make my logo in the first place so I could make some adjustments without starting from scratch.
Thank you! I created them. Just used a half cylinder type shape and made it a “hole” and then made a rod using a cylinder and just sliced off a piece of one side to make it lay flat on the build plate.
You are a legend! Thanks. I don’t think I can do all those steps, cause I don’t have the software or skills but maybe I can get someone else to make all the print files for me 🤔
I have had so much success flipping the logo over where it’s facing the bed. Especially if you have a textured PEI plate like the P1S comes with… turns out amazing.
How can you add a logo to an existing 3 model to print flat on the model surface? For instance, putting a logo on a baseball hat or a logo on a football helmet?
I think....You should make a flexible LED Sign of your logo. Your logo is already awesome, and with todays RGB capabilities using flexible LED, you could create a larger lighted sign that would look wonderful.
Hey kiddo! Very cool video and I seen the last one you did as well. I just wanted to stop by and say hello and keep these fun videos coming. By the way, instead of importing, everything into bamboo lab separately couldn’t you just stack it the way you wanted in Tinker cad then merge all the layers so that it’s one piece?
Not her but know one reason: as single piece you have to colorize in bambu and it's buggy sometimes. As parts it is a lot easier to color and adjust, in case you want to adjust thicker specific layers.
Not sure if you will even see this but worth a shot. When printing, is your slicer forcing colour changes on each layer, so it's effectively printing all 3 colours from the print bed up to the top layer?
Yeah the slicer tells the AMS when to change colors. I believe this design has the darker blue and the black on the same layer though so it would need to be done designed differently for a single color printer.
I know this isn't meant to be an Illustrator tutorial, but you went way too fast! I am using Inkscape. I have a logo w/ 2 colors....a blue background and white letters, that I want to raise the white letters and print. On the letter 'P' for example, when I grab it and move it, the center part turns white (like your letters when the insides turned black)....but I can not for the life of me figure out what you did to fix it or how to do it! Is it possible to do a slower, more in depth tutorial on how you separated all the parts? I think the commands for both programs are (or can be) similar, as there is a mode to use Illustrator keystrokes in Inkspace.
I think I may have figured out how to do it, by re-watching this video 10x and then looking up the term 'minus front' and watching more stuff about that. LOL In Inkscape, I can use 'difference' or 'exclude' (I think they were called) and it seems to do something similar.
Lol sorry you had to rewatch so many times. Glad you got it figured out though! I'm going to work on a slower tutorial for illustrator. I'd love to make a full Illustrator series/course but we'll start with a tutorial and go from there :)
@@macymakes3d That would be great, and hopefully Inkscape is similar enough that it helps me. I believe the concepts will be very similar. It doesn't help that I'm trying to learn Onshape (CAD), Meshmixer AND Inkscape all at the same time! One other question on the logo print....it makes sense to me how to print something in 2 colors....1 color per 'tier'...ie, a blue background w/ raised white letters (1 simple color change - all blue then all white). But one w/ 3 colors like yours, is it still 2 tiers? The light blue base and the dark blue and black on the same tier - so you have to change between them on each printed layer (blue on layer 1, black on layer 1, blue on layer 2, black on layer 2, etc)? Thanks again!
I am new to 3d printing and find myself also trying to learn TinkerCad, OpenSCAD, OnShape, Inkscape and others. Videos like this are useful to a beginner. Thanks (I have only watched 3-times so far) 😊
Another excellent video. I may have a basic misunderstanding that would be nice if you could address. Why do you increase fill to 30% in art projects. My understanding is that the look of the outside of a print would be affected by number walls (thickness) of all walls, transparency of filament, and layer thickness. I was under impression fill setting only impacted strength of print not artistic look. I am pretty new to 3d printing and all settings so please forgive me if this seems too basic.
Great video but I can't figure out why you just can't group everything in Tinkercad and then save it before importing it into Bambulabs. You adjusted depth of everything in Tinkercad and than again in Bambulabs. I'm new to this so I think I'm just missing something here.
I didn’t want to have to paint everything individually in bambu slicer. It’s really tedious and easy to miss little bits. It’s easier to import everything individually and make each piece the color I want it to be in the filament settings
Hi there not all that clear what you mean if you are not used to the programs that you are using especially illustrator, but on the whole quite informative. 👍 Keep up the great content.
She has bambu lab printers. Depending on the materials you plan on using and budget there are 5 options available. If you don't plant to use carbon materials I recommend p1s. If money is not an issue x1. If money is an issue A1 is a great starting kit.
When I upload my svg to tinkercad the render looks terrible. Random spots are mushed and don’t look like what I see in my svg file when I look at it in affinity designer
I tried doing your method but the first programme you have to pay for now. What I'm trying to do is my son's school logo from the website and turn it into a Costa for his teachers for Christmas present. I just need help with this.😢
Most of what I do is 3d print 2d images/designs, so if that’s what you’re wanting then possibly… I’m not the best at 3d modeling so probably wouldn’t be helpful there.

I loved it Macy 😀😀 Thank you so much for this tutorial ❤️🧡💜💜
Great print! I've had good success with extra top layers (5 total) and enable ironing when doing logos like this.
I do 5 layers if I’m printing a translucent filament but these were pretty solid so I could stick with the normal 3
Because of you I was able to make my own design 😄. Thank you so much. Keep the video's coming
Thank you for doing this video now I understand a little bit more. I still need to finish putting together those two ender 3's..... Where's a wand that works when you need one!
Love the tutorial!! You went kind of fast but I will definitely be trying this out!!
Are you still using vectorizer as now it's no longer free or are you using something else to convert svg's?
Yes I would also like to know what you are using and or if I can pay you to turn some stuff into files for me, as I am new to 3D printing and would love to be able to customize things for my cheerleading program
I came across Inkscape for my embroidery adventure and there is a trace bitmap function which does a good job of vectorizing. It is all free.
I also ran into this issue myself. After importing the image, cleaning up the colors and starting the download process only to discover that this isn't a free program.

Awesome work Macy 😊 have you tried printing face down for a cleaner look
No, my print beds aren’t clean enough for that 😂
I have had so much success flipping the logo over where it’s facing the bed. Especially if you have a textured PEI plate like the P1S comes with… turns out amazing.
@macymakes3d makes sense hahaha love your content would be good to link up and collaboration
How can you add a logo to an existing 3 model to print flat on the model surface? For instance, putting a logo on a baseball hat or a logo on a football helmet?
Can this same trick be used to make those cool led sign things people seem to be making these days? Do you make the signs the same way as well?
We’re so lucky to have tools like these SVG converters. Back in the day we had to manually trace things with the pen tool! 😂
I know! When I first started learning illustrator that was the only way. So much faster now
I think....You should make a flexible LED Sign of your logo. Your logo is already awesome, and with todays RGB capabilities using flexible LED, you could create a larger lighted sign that would look wonderful.
That's a really cool idea! I'll see if that's something I can work on in the new year :)

why you use some website to covert png to svg when you have tracing in illustrator?
The svg converter works a lot better than image trace in illustrator
