Using Adobe AI Art for 3d Printing - Making Thanksgiving Decorations
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- In this video I use Adobe AI Generative Fill for the first time to create a turkey to use as 3d art in my 3d printing shop. Follow along as I make a 3d printed Happy Thanksgiving banner to hang on my wall. I use Adobe Illustrator for the design work, Tinkercad for 3d, BambuLab Slicer and BambuLab P1P for 3d printing.
Printed on a BambuLab P1P using 2 AMS units

Nicely Done... A math teacher that excels with Illustrator...wow
I am loving your content! My husband just gave me the green light on buying a Bambu with AMS and I am super excited to play with multi coloured prints, so I’m learning a lot from you. Thanks!
Yay! That’s awesome! Thank you for watching 😊 Can’t wait to hear how it goes, multi color printing is so much fun, you’re going to love it!
Best printer ever.. in my eye. Enjoy
Which one? I do own a Bambu X1C with 1 AMS and I'm planning to update to at least a second AMS unit.
You got a good Husband. Lol I hope your enjoy your New Printer
Thanks I wanted to see use of both AMS units after watching VLOG 3 Great to see Laurie NZ
wonderful!!This video is a celebration of the makers, the creators, and the visionaries who bring their artistic dreams to life
Thank you 😊 and thanks for watching!
Just found your channel yesterday and have watched it all aha. I'd love to get into a side hustle thing with printing and have my P1S with AMS arriving today after my K1 Max was a dud.
Thanks for the great content!
Awesome! Thanks for watching I'm so glad you're here! The Bambus are amazing, hopefully they're able to jump start your printing side hustle. Can't wait to hear about it :)
Macy…. I love your videos and your ability to teach us something new. I think you really found your niche here on RUclips and the 3d Printing community.. keep up the great job 👏.
Thank you so much 😊 and thanks for watching! Glad you’re liking the videos. I’m having so much fun making them. More to come for sure!
I usually import the SVG straight to Bambu Studio. My biggest learning curve has been making the SVG’s so they load right in Bambu. If it’s text on a circle for example I just add a primitive disc in Bambu and scale to the size I need. Then import the SVG text and put it together. I’m not sure if the tinkercad step is needed.
Love the idea and the process you went through to get to the final print!
Just found your channel and love the content!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re here
Great project! Thanks for taking us through the process
One day I will be as well versed in this but I enjoy learning from you. One tip... For art type projects, I've started to change the top layer infill pattern to hilbert curve over monotonic as it gives the top surface a cool textured look. You may want to try it!
Awesome I’ll try it out! Thanks for the tip 😊
Hi Macy, I like your shop life and how you showed it to us.
I don't own a bambu. But I saw in other videos the coloring tool in bambu studio. So my question is now, why you are separating the stl in tinkercad. Can you just upload the whole stl in one piece to bambu studio and doing the coloring there?

Hi! Thanks for watching :) I separate in tinkercad because painting in the slicer is pretty tedious and it's easy to miss parts, especially with the more intricate designs. It's easier and faster to import each part as its own color rather than painting it. If I have a simple design I'll paint in the slicer but most of the time I do each piece separate.
Again awesome project, very inspiring, thank you so much 😁
Thank you! And thanks for watching :)
Love seeing these fun videos! Have a p1p coming for Christmas and can wait to print with it!
That’s awesome! Can’t wait to hear about all the fun things you print on your new printer. The bambus are the best!
I enjoyed the part where Alvin Seville made a cameo!
Thanks! Your videos are awesome!! Keep them coming.
Wow thank you so much! All for your guys 😊 More videos are coming for sure
How did you make it one solid shape at 5:13?
cool video! really like your tutorial and how you show us your workflow in illustrator. could you maybe show us your keyboard shortcuts as you are working? like how you create a rectangle and all the pieces just magically become one. hahah.
ps. if you were to sell this whole print on etsy, how much would you price this at? im having trouble with how to price 3d prints.
Yeah I’ll see if I can find a way to show them. I have some set to custom key binds to speed up my work flow but I can talk about that too. Really trying to find a good balance for teaching while I’m working and also not making the video too long and boring.
I would love to know how you separate all the parts of the photo because then you still get a flat object and dont have to vary the layer heights when switching colors
That's pretty cool and extremely helpful for seeing the process. Since the 3d printer strength is making durable objects I would think this would be better for making a larger door "wreath" or gate decoration. Actually how about adding a channel to your mailbox and changing out holiday decorations? Large LED snowflakes next? Anyway I just found your site and am enjoying the content.
Some cool ideas for sure! I’ve been pondering the wreath idea. Would be cool to print it in parts and piece one together.
Very cool :) You can do a similar thing automatically with Luban slicer.
Thank you! Never heard of it but I’ll definitely look into it!
Well done. Now I need to buy another AMS, only have one. lso have to learn to do what you are doing in Affinity Designer - that is the program I have purchased but haven't learned to use.
2 AMS is definitely nice but not necessary. For everyday prints I only use 1 AMS, but if I'm making a fun art piece I'll use 8. Haven't tried any more than that, but maybe one day!
How did you do the solid shape part for the turkey?
Those look awesome!! I love your videos.
Thanks 😊 and thank you so much for watching!
I think I have watched most of your videos. I do have some questions though. When you got started doing your printing business, did you start out with the plethora of expensive printers you use today, or did you start much smaller? What was your starting configuration and how long were you working before you were able to make a profit? I have a hobby of buying damaged printers for cheap ($100 or less) and making them functional again. I had originally intended on monetizing these machines by starting a printing business, but I am better at the technical aspect than the business part. I find your videos to be inspiring, however it is still a daunting task to just get started.
I started with a single anycubic vyper. Bought a second one after a couple months on Etsy. Stuck with those for the first year and then finally upgraded to a single bambu in April of this year. Ive slowly added printers and AMS units as business has increased throughout this year. You can for sure get started on a single printer and then expand from there.
I actually made something very similar in my last video :) But a very different workflow, really like your approach too!
Will even be uploading a tutorial on how you can do it for free in the next days!
Thanks for covering what you do. I appreciate the level of detail you're willing to share. What build plate are you using? Is that OEM or an after market? I don't recall you putting glue or some other element on there in this or your other videos (that I've seen so far). Other users complain about the stock build plate\sheet. Thank you!
It’s the normal build plate that comes with the printer. PEI sheet maybe? And I do use Elmer’s glue sticks on my plates but I only apply it about once every couple weeks maybe. I’ll clean it really good with alcohol and then put a layer of glue once my prints stop sticking. Definitely not every print though.
Happy Thanksgiving
I'll be looking at trends to find a niche. I'm seeing you averaged about $32 AOV and had over 1k orders. It looks like you are running printers night and day. Did you have all of them the entire year? If I wanted to replace a $105k a year salary in performance marketing management (3 layoffs in 4 years and over it), how many printers would I need? I already know Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator but I would need to learn 3D modeling. Really looking at doing this...
Start small and be ok with slow growth. I run 7 printers, print for other people, run a youtube channel, and don't come near that salary. It's not a get rich quick business by any means.
Share the stl files ?
I’ll add them to my Etsy shop once I get a minute. Hopefully by the weekend.

@@florianmi1338 I have used the painting tool in Bambu studio and it is not the fastest, i started to do something similar to Macy a while back and it is a lot easier to take the piece's into Bambu separately and painting them that way
