    This is so cool, I'm now very intrigued to try Midjourney and Hueforge. I had never really considered creating "2D" style art with a printer before. I do see that it could require a bunch of filament colors, and could be difficult for those who don't have a printer with an AMS style system. I'm going to try this out for sure though!

Can't wait for blackfriday/cyber monday this year. Need to get me a new printer as mine is ~5 years old and it's so slow any hueforge print I've done is in the 10-12h time frame.

    Thank you for this and all of your content. I am still learning hueforge but just watching helped me understand some basics. I am trying to understand something about your filaments and the AMS and your design. I thought that you mostly specified Overture filaments … but when you loaded the AMS it seemed that you used alot of Bambu filament (spools at least). Did you respool all the Overture … and do you have any problems with cardboard spools in the AMS?

    • @macymakes3d
      @macymakes3d  Месяц назад +1

      I do love overture, but a lot of the filaments I chose for my hueforge prints ended up being the bambu matte filaments. I use overture for my Etsy products but I’ll mix in some other brands when I’m doing art pieces. I used the overture orange, white, and black for most of the bookmark prints but every print needed orange so I also used the bambu orange.

    • @macymakes3d
      @macymakes3d  Месяц назад +1

      Tough to say because of the software subscriptions required to make them. That adds a bit of extra cost but I use those programs for other things as well. They’re not the most profitable selling online especially with shipping costs, but I bet at craft fairs they’d do pretty well. You can get 4 on a plate so maybe a dollar or so in filament and print time costs. I think ok Etsy I have them listed as $6.99 for the small and then 8.99 for the large.

    Really dialing in the video production. This was an awesome video and answered several of the questions I was having about how to make use of the hueforge capabilities with the Bambu Printer. One key item was how to use multiple colors when my AMS only held 4 colors. You specifically answered how to put a Pause and then change the filament colors. What I didn't hear @time around 22:15 as when you reloaded the new spools and to the spots you vacated, how Bambu Studio knew how to use those AMS slots for the final two colors to finish the print. Did I miss it or beside Pause is there a command to tell it how to use light blue and white. Yu said it would start over with 5 and 6 in slot 1 and 2. How does it know to use slot 1and 2?

    • @macymakes3d
      @macymakes3d  Месяц назад +1

      Dang, I did skip that info. When you hit "print" and you start assigning colors for the AMS, assign color 5 to the same slot as color 1, and assign color 6 to the same slot as color 2. You won't be able to change the color in the computer for colors 5 and 6, but if you assign it correctly and then change the colors in the AMS at the pause, it'll know to print from the correct slots.

    Those dang pumpkin spouts, always messing things up!
    I have yet to explore Hueforge...what is the minimum thickness? I'm sure it can go thin but you probably lose flexibility w/ less layers. I have a thing I print that is only 8 layers (@ .12mm), so not sure if I could make something to fit into that sizing. Also, is it possible to flip a Hueforge and print it face down? Or is the top layer not 'flat', as in, some colors are raised up (as I think you mentioned on some designs).
    As far as pausing to change colors in the AMS, you don't HAVE to....once it uses color 1 and moves on to color 2, you can simply replace the spool in slot 1. I'd have to go back and see how you set it up, but doing it this way, you'd have to assign color 1 and 5 as 'the same color', so it goes back to slot 1.
    As always, another great video Macy!

    • @macymakes3d
      @macymakes3d  Месяц назад

      Yep, you're right about not pausing. My method is the same as what you said, I just put the pause there so I remember to go change out the slots. Otherwise I'd forget and it would just keep printing haha.
      And for printing face down, I think it's possible, but not something I've figured out yet. Expect a video on it as soon as I do though :)

      I’m not sure what’s going on for that to happen. Sometimes I still see white sharp corners in hueforge but then once you save the project and open in bambu studio they’re rounded.

      @@macymakes3d I went back and re-exported the bookmark from Adobe and now the corners are there. I have no idea what I did wrong the first time but it's seems to be working correctly now. I really appreciate the tutorials you make!

    Not an anti ai comment but a genuine question, why do you chose to use ai, like what are your thoughts on it?

      It's easily accessible for most people, and I really just enjoy the mystery of what the generator will come up with. I don't use AI that often. Mainly just for videos :)

    at $7 each on Etsy, I don't know how you make any money. It must cost a $1 for filament, 50 cents for packaging and maybe $2-3 for Etsy fees. Plus maybe one or two hours to print plus your time to pack and ship

      I don't really make any money on them, I just think they're fun :)
