Nice print and cool color scheme. Mind if I ask what nozzle you printed this with? .4 or .2? I have both, and just picked up an A1 Combo. First BambuLab printer, but I have used Prusa's for years. Curious as to how much detail I can pull out of the A1 with the .4 nozzle. I usually keep my Prusa's on .6 and get very suitable figures/models. But I keep my Creality K1Max on 0.4 to get the same quality as the Prusa. Anyways, thanks for sharing and keep at it. Happy Printing!
Thank you for your kind words! 😊 For this print, I used a 0.2 nozzle to achieve the finer details, with the following settings: Layer Height: 0.1 mm for optimal quality. Material: PLA with multi-color filament for the color scheme. Infill Density: 100% (since it was printed horizontally). That said, I wouldn't recommend the horizontal orientation-it cracked during the assembling process. The original vertical orientation is much sturdier and gives better results, though it will take around 12 hours to complete. If you're aiming for fine details with your A1 Combo, the 0.2 nozzle is fantastic, but it’s a bit slower than the 0.4. Let me know how your prints turn out-happy printing! 🚀 By the way, I love your videos about Japan-I’ve been a fan for a while but was subscribed from another account 👍
@@aspeed3dtoys Thanks for subscribing. You popped up on my recommendations (I've been looking for A1 info!) and particularly detailed smaller prints. I've been using the A1 sparingly, kind of working my way into it, but it is an AMAZING machine. From using my Prusa to this feels like cheating! But I have been very satisfied with the 0.4 and looking forward to cranking it up to 0.2 for the details. Now that I have your ear (eyes), how about the hardened nozzles? One of my concerns with this type of proprietary printer was the option to go outside of the manufacturer for parts. Do the nozzles wear particularly fast or do you get good mileage with them? SO many content creators get these machines for free and add them to a "fleet" of printers, I don't think they use them like "normal" people. Keep going, I was at 300 subs and it's a journey. But enjoy what you do and have fun. Talk with you soon. Any questions/info you need about Japan, let me know. Love it here. www.patreon.com/c/donmanart/home And, this creator makes heads and parts for figures. You MIGHT like it. Not promoting or anything, just thinking, this could be something you would be interested in...to "mod" your Dummy... ;-)
@@ATLnJP Thanks for the detailed reply! Previously, I was using a pretty old Ender 3 with a 0.4 nozzle just for fun (here’s a link if you’re curious: ruclips.net/video/qpGc89MiUVo/видео.html). I never really thought about using hardened nozzles, but I ended up buying 0.4 and 0.6 nozzles in a hotend kit when I got my A1 Combo. My 3D print production isn’t very big, but I’ve been really impressed with the speed and accuracy of the A1 Combo-it’s been a big upgrade for me. That said, I did notice an issue where the nozzle drags over previously printed parts when switching between sections. I haven’t fixed it yet, but it’s something I’m looking into. Thanks for the link! Donman is doing some amazing 3D art-really inspiring stuff. I actually found your channel while looking for expat experiences in Japan. I really enjoy your videos about Japan. Looking forward to seeing more of your work! By the way, I wanted to apologize for using AI assistance in this conversation; my English isn’t so good, so I use it to make sure I can express myself clearly.🙂
@ Ai is our friend! I’m guessing the larger nozzle sizes extrude more filament, so that or retraction will cause ooze. Higher temperature could also. I haven’t encountered this with my Prusa machines at 0.6, but these machines have been used for nearly 2 years and dialed in. Honestly, I’m feeling quite confident the BambuLab will be fun. I actually wish I had picked one up a year ago! So nice to chat. I’ll start more content focusing on Japan (models/Gundam).
@@ATLnJP I’ve also been experimenting with a 0.6 nozzle, mainly for big, steady projects that don’t require too much detail. Interestingly, I haven’t noticed a significant improvement in print speed either. For example, I compared two draft configs: 0.24mm layer height with a 0.4 nozzle and 0.36mm layer height with a 0.6 nozzle. The results? 0.4 nozzle took 1h 9min, while the 0.6 nozzle was just 1h 6min. Only a 3-minute difference! This was with default settings, so maybe I’m missing something in the setup. If you’ve had a different experience or tips, I’d love to hear about them! So nice to chat indeed! 🙂 Looking forward to your new videos!
That looks awesome man!
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!
