Your video of 3D Printer for the shop is timely! My wife bought me a Bambu Lab A1 Mini for Christmas. The tape measure attachment could be the first project!
Great video Drew I got my A1 printer about 3 months ago and I love it I’ve had so much fun printing holders for my woodworking tools. Hopefully someday I’d like to learn how to design and make my own things but there are so many amazing designers out sharing their ideas and I’m so grateful for them.
I bought a Bambu P1S solely to print router templates. It works great. I now find it useful for all kinds of woodworking stuff... tool organizers, dust collector adapters, etc., etc. It really helps if you know how to model 3D parts, that way you can build whatever your twisted mind can dream up
Yes all of this. I first revived my old diy bed Slinger printer for my Shop (especially for Router templates as well ) and after months of struggle to print this and that I bought a P1S a month ago and already have like 200 hours on it, I can count failed prints on one Hand and all of them were my fault (like old wet filament etc). It also prints 3-4 times as fast as my old one and since it basically never fails prints, its about an order of magnitude more useful than my old one. I already want a second one.
@@FishersShop It’s the best. For next-level nerdiness along these lines: I have a 3D model sculpting program on my Meta Quest VR headset. To go from an idea or daydream, to sculpting it in VR, to 3D printing it in just a couple of hours and holding the physical manifestation of it in your hands is WILD.
When creating hose connectors, create two separate rings in the two sizes you need to adapt to. Give them minimum infill and only two outer layers. The two rings will print much faster, use less filament and you can test your sizes before you print the entire thing. Great video though. I've had a 3D printer since 2016. It's invaluable for the woodshop.
I got a Snapmaker 2 combination 3D printer, laser cutter/engraver, and (very small) CNC machine a couple of years ago. I've printed quite a few useful things with it, including battery holders and dust collector adapters like you did. I've also laser engraved some of my wood projects to personalize them as gifts for people, and used the CNC function for making some engraved LED signs. My Snapmaker isn't the best at any of those functions - dedicated machines are generally better - but it's actually pretty darn good at all of them. But the best thing about it is that it combines all of that capability into a single machine, which for me it awesome, since my shop is very small - way too small to have space for a dedicated CNC machine, laser, and 3D printer. It only takes a couple of minutes to swap the modules and bed to switch from 3D printing, laser cutting/engraving, and CNC machining. I've had a lot of fun with it, but lately I've been a little frustrated with 3D printing. It can be finicky and getting the settings just right for successful prints can take some trial and error. I think you'll have a ton of fun with your Bambu Labs printer - it looks like an awesome machine.
I have a bambu and it’s just amazing! Iassc Aismov said “ Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic “ and I feel like 3D printers express this perfectly.
@neilclarkwork -- That awesome quote about technology is from Arthur C. Clarke (not Isaac Asimov). I just bought the same A1 Combo that Drew demonstrates ... it's my first experience with 3D printing and truly is "magical" 😁
My friend, I pray the LORD continues to bless your hands and family. I love the tape measure marker. I need that in my life. Great video, thank you for educating us on this technology.
I've made so many jigs with this and my laser cutter. I used to be sad that I couldn't cut metal or clear acrylics with my laser, but once I realized I could just make jigs for drilling and cutting, it made my life so easy. Next thing I need to figure out is how to copy curves in my jig with a router.
@0:38 Kids _are_ for doing the heaving lifting - at least now that I and they are older. My grown boys come over whenever I need something heavy moved. 🙂
I really enjoyed the outtakes at the end! Thanks for that! Just shows the design process is not a one and done! Tap-Tap-Crack is a common theme as well! Glad to know I'm not the only one!!!
Really enjoyed the video Drew! You explained how it works so well that I think I could even be successful as long as I used designs that others have already made. I've never tried fusion or designing anything so have no knowledge how to do that and imagine there is a steep learning curve. I'd love to use it for all those designs that are already out there though. Bet you and your son both love using it!!!
Thanks Lori. Yes, my son has gone nuts with it. He's got way more time into it than I do currently and he's marketing and selling things at his school. It's pretty neat
@@FishersShop Wow, that's great.....your son is already becoming quite the entrepreneur!!! It's good for him to learn this too because it's the way our future is headed with this type of technology.
Got the X1 Carbon a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had too much time to do anything with it, but definitely a game changer for my shop. The tape measure gadget is clever, I'd definitely would be interested in printing one!
Bought an X1C at the start of the year, recently picked up another recently, both have two AMS units on them with multiple spools of the same color filament for automatic replenish. Been an awesome set of printers, and the first time in ten years of 3d printing that it doesn't feel like work to just get a print started, never mind have it be successful on the first try.
The split part with connector pins can be done in most slicers instead of in the CAD. I haven't seen the option in Handy, but I have used it in Bambu Studio. Look under the cut tool there.
Glad you have jumped into the 3D printing world and did so with a Bambu Lab A1. They are about the easiest 3D printer to get started with! I've been doing some Tinkercad tutorials to help people learn how to create their own designs too!
i do woodwrking as a hobby but on job i use 3D printing a lot. bambu is excelent as plug'n'play printer, no fuss and great for people that need it as a tool. I've combined lots of 3D prints and wood materials together, what is hard for woodwoork it is easy for 3d print and vice versa. great addition, just keep it out of moisture and dust
@FishersShop Don't know how much do you know about 3D printimg but VOC (volatile organic compound) is not to be ignored, especially with ABS, ASA materials, little bit less with PETG material. so don't keep it in the room with kids :)
Regarding the miter saw insert, the slicer software supports cuts/splits that also have the ability to insert peg holes and also produce pegs to insert into those holes. That can save some effort in creating the split yourself.
I've seen a quite a few of videos like this recently and ha e wanted a 3d printer long before this but now I'm gonna pull the trigger and get one with my xmas bonus after seening your video 👍👍
I have found that when making thinks for the shop it is best to print in ABS, ASA, or PETG. Once I'm done prototyping I also like to print at 100% infill for parts that will get some real use.
Can you post a link to the model files you used in this video? I found your zero clearance for the miter saw and its great! I am looking for the turn table one but not finding it. Thanks!
I’m sure the prototyping process is frustrating, but it’s cool to see the end products actually work! Sure seems like it opens up a whole bunch of possibilities!
I'd redo the zero clearance insert with a sacrifice insert in the insert so that you don't have to print the whole thing out multiple times. Use different colors for a 90deg insert and another color for 45s etc.
Tamar with 3x3 customs pushed me over the edge on getting the A1 combo. I've had it since the first part of September, have over 1500 hours on it. I bought it for making things for my woodshop as well but to be honest, maybe only 50 hours on my printer has been for my woodshop and the other 1450 for random things. There is a huge world of 3D printing files out there to enjoy, and not just little useless toys. I have a 26+ hour print going on my right now for a Christmas present. Just do the regular maintenance, wash your plate with hot water and dawn dish soap, especially if you touch it with your hands (like I seen you doing lol, gets oils on the build plate and will give you adhesion problems) and it will run great, I have yet to have a problem with mine that I didn't create myself
Yup! The 3D printing world is bigger than I ever imagined! We had our first failure the other day and then I read about the adhesion issues people have after handling the build plate. I washed it with Dawn and haven't had any issues since. It's been a lot of fun so far and I'm finding myself constantly looking around the house for "problems" I could solve with a 3D print. :) Thanks for watching!
Yep. It started with an A1 mini for me, now I have the mini plus three A1s, and my wife has a mini and an A1. Amazing printers. I don't use dawn on my plates though; just a wipe with 91% isopropyl alcohol before every print and everything stick perfectly fine.
@@NWGRI'll definitely be adding another printer here in the near future. I do it as a hobby, not looking to make any money out of it but it just feels wrong to have it just sitting there not printing anything lol. My 26 hour print will finish about an hour after I go to work and just be sitting there until I get home. And multi plate prints, would be nice to have more than one printer working on it. And yeah, I don't use alcohol to clean my plate, I just follow what bambu recommends and I've only washed it 4 times in the 4 months I've had it, I just avoided touching the plate with my hands. I let the plate get to room temp and the print pops right off without having to remove the plate and a scraper for everything else.
Number 7 is several bridges to align the ends of boards in a glue up but span over the joint to miss the glue. I have an ACS and I need that adapter. Merry Christmas. (Thanks for the flat head screw lol) Bill
I just got the same printer and have been printing a billion stupid toys to give away for Christmas. Just batched out 50 ornaments for my wife's co-workers. I got it because I badly need to organize my shop. Great stuff. I need to learn to model so I can do a zero clearance for my mitre as well.
I really like the zero clearance insert for your miter saw. I got me to thinking, though, would it be possible to print a zero clearance fence into the insert, either by printing it into the insert itself or a third piece that would attach to the insert with pin, or CA glue? I get blowout where the blade exits above the insert.
For sure. However it's probably easier to just slap a strip of plywood down across both your fences and secure it in place. Then you can just chop through it and then you've got a 0-clearence fence.
Congrats, Drew! That's a fantastic tool indeed! 😃 But wait until your kid discovers 3d printing for rc stuff... 😂 Merry Christmas! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I want the tape measure marker thingie! I have a "Blind Man's Tape Measure" from Lee Valley which helps, but it's still a bit of a struggle. I'll be watching for the release. And yes, please make it in bright colors!
3D printers really shine in shop storage applications. Anyone can get sucked into the gridfinity rabbit hole and end up with a custom pockets for every single tool in their cabinet. Great for board game enthusiasts too, my inlaws use the chit trays with pouring spout all the time and constantly let me know.
I have a small 3D print farm of Ender machines. I have been watching several RUclipsrs using this particular Bambu machine and I gotta get one soon. I dont make chatchkees. I make useful items too. well Mostly Have made a few gifty type things for a few friends & Family, This is a fun hobby! Love your videos too.
Yes it's coming soon. I'm still getting some things in order. I'll be selling the STL as well as sets of 3 printed markers for those without 3d printers. Just keep checking back on my site or sign up for the newsletter. I'll announce when it becomes available.
I bought the A1 Mini recently, and thought I'd add some comments. * The A1 Mini is cheaper than the A1, and as far as I know, can do everything the A1 can do, except for size. But just as you had to split your zero clearance insert into two, that can be done with the Mini also (you might just have to split things more often). * The AMS that hold four different reels/colours is of questionable use when printing tools for the workshop. Sure, it's nice to have, but if you don't want to spend too much, doing without that shouldn't be much of a problem. In fact it is still possible to do multi-colour prints without it, but in a more limited way and not as conveniently. * The big problem for some people will be the learning curve (not on the printer; that's dead easy), but on designing your own prints. Sure, there are plenty of designs available on the internet, many for free, but if you want to design your own, there's a fair-to-significant learning curve, depending on what software you use and what you're trying to achieve.
Yeah, I've only done one multi-color print so far. It worked amazingly well and turned out looking fantastic but it sure adds a ton of time. It takes quite a bit of time to switch colors. If you're just looking for utilitarian function, then skip the AMS
I want everyone to buy one of those 3D printers. This way I never need to learn the programs and when I need something I'll bring donuts tHanks for the video
For the zero clearance insert plate I would create it as one unit in fusion 360 then use Bambu Studio's splitter option to size the print for the build plate.
I 3D print hose fittings for dust collector fittings. As the ones I tried buying at the store never fit. I also 3D print clamps, bins, hooks and many other storage things. I also phone stands I print off so I can view the phone at an angle. I really use it for my dose meter as I'm doing calibrations as the meter lays flat and with the lights in the room all you see is glare.
I got into 3d printing when I needed an adapter for my table saw dust collection. My first print was at our local library. That was in 2018. I now have 4 3d printers, 2 of which I built from scratch. Would love to have a printer like the one you have. A bit out of my budget right now...maybe Santa will bring me one.
Careful my friend … before long you will be printing so much you will want another printer … and then another … and then … well, at least that’s what happened to me. I started with the X1C and then bought the A1. The next one is likely to be the P1S … They truly have been a lot of fun and not just for the shop.
@@FishersShop Just found it on Makers, thanks so much for sharing, sorry I don't have any boost to give at the moment but you're next to be boosted once I do.
I love my A1... been using it for useful prints, as well as fun prints! When I have a project, it's put to work, but then makes my fun stuff in-between those! It is the best work tool that I also get to play with!
Great video, as always! There are loads more (useless) tools available to print. This might also improve your gaming table and some other things around the house that may need a bit of fixing up :).
I’m interested to know how will you protect this printer from dust when working. Because the only place i can put a 3d printer is in my wood shop. And I’m contemplating if i should purchase this printer or the one above with the casing. But the one with the case is very expensive.
Great video. You have a way of making me want to go out and buy one of these immediately. Then I would be broke and have to sell a kidney to pay the mortgage but it seems worth it after watching this. 😂
I like how you think 4 hour prints are "long prints", i just completed a 47 hour print.. (it was 2 parts 27 hours and 20 hours), and that's with the A1, i would hate to think how long it would take on say a Ender 3 which was my first printer.
Would you wreck your throat plate, since it was two parts couldn't you have just saved two of the 4 hours of reprinting by just doing the top half that was damaged?
It would be great to see you do a video about hints and tricks for using Fusion 360. Its really hard to use but I love the idea of copying what your able to achieve in this video.
That insert from the outtakes still would have been totally fine. You would just have to live with it not looking perfect. Sometimes I leave my mistakes on display if they don't effect the function of the project, at least in the shop, because they are constant reminders to me about those mistakes and to not repeat them.
I'm really dying to get one of these. I've had my eye on it for a long time. Basically any tool, jig, or whatever you see out there made of plastic can be made on one of these, given you have a file for it or a little CAD experience. Even if you have zero experience there are countless files available online to download and print. Anyone is sure to find multiple pre-made projects that will be handy for them. I need to do more work justifying my laser engraver to my wife before I can drop another $500 on a new toy.
You're absolutely right. It really wasn't until I had one in my possession that I started to realize just how useful it is. Now I'm printing like crazy
@@FishersShopLOL. So true. I personally think a 3d printer is a great tool to add a workshop/maker area. The vast amount of things it can be used to create from fixtures, jigs, and even other tools is mind-blowing.
Oh you're only just getting started... check out Thingiverse and the incredible variety of wood working tools, adapters, clips, clamps, and even hand planes !!! And quit being a lightweight with your 4 hour prints... go print yourself a 52 hour print lol. How long until your inner nerd has you printing a storm trooper helmet ??? Great video and loved the insight on the Bambu, I've been looking at upgrading my FDM printers since most of them are quite old.
@FishersShop oh yeah, failed prints and breaking prints is all part of the "fun". Then there's temperature controls, different filaments ( even wood ones ), and so much more. Stick with it, it's very fun and rewarding
Personally I've skipped on the combo (not really needed and definitely a pretty big price hike), but the A1 has been treating me remarkably well since I got it.
If you re-print that zero clearance insert with 10 top layers, it should last a long time. PETG would probably be a better choice for material - it's not nearly as brittle as PLA is.
Yeah, good advice. I made the center of both pieces 100% infill so I'm guessing it should last quite a bit of time. But if I did the rest of the top like you said, it would be even better.
@@FishersShop Another thing to consider is making the next one with a pre-made slot that's just a bit under your blade width, and then bump up the wall count to 5-10. It'll increase the stability of that area without going to the extreme of 100% infill. Either way, excellent work. :)
Wait until you start printing boxes and containers for parts storage. I LOVE the Harbor Freight Storehouse 20-bin Parts Storage Containers. The only problem that I have with them (now that they've solved the glue residue issue from the stickers they put on the lid), is that there aren't nearly enough of the small bins. Even those, I feel, waste space. So, after doing lots of searching on places like Thingiverse and Thangs, I've not only found solutions to this, but designed and created my own either tiny parts bins where I have 2 or more divisions of a small bin for tiny screws and such but, also for those parts I only have a small number of, but just can't bring myself to throw them in the garbage. See, I just know that, if I were to do that, within a week I would have a need arise for that very item and end up having to go buy something because I'd thrown it away. So, now I keep EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF FASTENER I come across! As an added bonus, now I don't have to search through all these small-number pieces looking for that M.5 x 10mm bolt. Now I just scan the boxes until I find some that looks to be about the right size and viola! Majorly speeds things up. Another added benefit of having 3D printers is printing tailor-made tool hangers. I have little armed hooks that perfectly fit my T-squares, boxes sized just right for my Walabot and laser tape measure, plus all the triangles for my speed squares and ledges with slots for my combination squares. Oh, and perfectly curved mounts for my digital calipers. The battery holders are extremely convenient and I have them for both my Ryobi AND Ridgid batteries, not to mention all the hangers designed specifically for battery-powered tools. That brings to mind the Multiboard wall storage system that I discovered that allows customizing of how tools are hung on the wall with a complete support system that also allows the use of regular pegboard pegs! 3D printing is a fantastic world and has given me so much that I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to buy. For a mere fraction of what I'd have to pay for a finished product, I can just 3D print whatever I need, the only cost being the wait time. Of course, this "waiting period" is nothing compared to waiting for something to arrive either through snail mail or a package delivery service. If I could afford to buy any particular item, I'd have to sometimes wait days for it to arrive. The longest 3D print that I've printed, so far, took about 2 1/2 days to print, which is about the same time it would've taken to have it delivered. Most prints, though, are completed in just a few hours. By printing it, though, I saved massive amounts of money and could custom tweak it to my exact needs and requirements before creating the object. Also, there's no worries about having to return something for either a refund or replacement. As you so eloquently found out, if you screw something up, just pitch it and start over. Messed up 3D prints can be recycled so, I just pitch all my screwups into the recycle bin.
I bought a Bambi A1 mini with the 4 roll thingy. All I can print is the stuff on the machine that it comes with. A little banshi and 10 scrapers. I bought it to make dust collection adapters and a bunch of stuff but I am so old school and have tried to use a Sketchup and just can not figure out how to use it. I have watched a lot of videos but I just can’t figure out how it works and I get so angry. I am obviously dumber than the average person when it comes to computer stuff. Any tips on how to learn Sketch up 360 and how to send things free off the internet to the Bambi mini ?? Please don’t be rude. I know I’m not the brightest just honest help would be SO MUCH APPRECIATED
I'm afraid I can't help with Sketchup. I stopped using that app years ago and moved to Fusion360. It's free, but I'll admit... it's got a very steep learning curve. I've heard really good things about an easy app called TinkerCAD though. Maybe try looking into that one?
I don't send things straight to the printer (I'm not suggesting that there's any problem with that). I simply download to my computer, then drag and drop it into Bambu Studio, then send it to the printer from there. Okay, there's a couple of other steps (e.g. 'slicing' it), but that's about all there is to it.
@@PJRaymentI want to thank you for your help. I will try that , I think I can manage to figure that out I hope. I seen it on RUclips and figured that it LOOKED easy enough to do, but I got very intimidated really quickly. I learn by watching someone do things, but I also get frustrated easily and then discouraged. This was NO DIFFERENT. So Ty
5 things? I've probably made 100 things for my shop. Radius gauge templates, Circle Templates for a router (or dremel), Tool holders, Clamps, wedges, different jigs, Sanding sticks, Collet holders and so much more. As for your 'dust port', it's actually WAY faster to sketch a profile and perform a rotate. At least that's how I did it, and maybe I'm wrong (I'm a rank amateur with Fusion, and learned more things from James at Clough42 and Product Design OnLine than pretty much anybody else). So, now that I know you have that A1....I think I know what will make up for so many things that have gone missing over the years....or maybe I'll wait for Bambu to send you that X1C or next gen that comes out next year. 4 hour prints....LOL....Done some 40 HOUR prints...LOL... Oh, wait until you discover GRIDFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@ffbells I tried doing Lofts, and had some issues. Again, I'm a total hack at Fusion. Would LOVE to find a good class, but 99% of the ones people say are "THE BEST" on YT are just too confusing. Some skip way too many key information pieces. They go from "Here's how you make a cube, and put a hole in it" to "now you know how to design this jet turbine" in one step. LOL....
@@WreckDiver99 I completely identify with "Fusion Hack"! 🙂 I'd kill for a good class, but I really want is to know someone that I can call with specific questions, it's frustrating to have to look at 100 videos to try to find the one function I need RIGHT NOW.... 😞
That's how I designed the adapter. If you watch closely, you'll see that I sketched the profile of the mid-section and then used the revolute tool followed by the shell tool to make the conical piece.
@@FishersShop Sure didn't look like it. Looks like you made 3 separate sections and assembled it. If you create a sketch of the outline with the thickness you want, you can revolve it and be done. Maybe I'm missing it here. Just another way of doing it, and the way you show works, and maybe it is actually a better way. As I've said, I'm a hack when it comes to Fusion...100% PURE hack. LOL.
The Prusa, while crazy expensive, uses considerably less filament. The Bamboo lab wastes a TON of filament, and takes more than twice as long for multi-color projects
That build plate is awesome, but you're mistreating it. The PEI coating will be damaged if you continue to pull things off when it is hot like that. Wait for the build plate to cool and the coating will make the pieces come right off without any issue at all! I've found it'll need to be 28C or cooler for that. Pulling things off at 64 is both much harder and damages the plate. Having come from a non PEI coated plate the PEI ones are wonderful - no glue stick on the plate so that things stick, that you then have to fight to get things off of the plate.
Check out share.bambulab.com/FisherShop and see Bambu Lab's amazing line of 3D printers!

Hopefully someday I’d like to learn how to design and make my own things but there are so many amazing designers out sharing their ideas and I’m so grateful for them.
Yeah same. I'd like to build up quite a collection of my designs and put them out on makerworld.
That would be awesome. Thanks for sharing
I bought a Bambu P1S solely to print router templates. It works great. I now find it useful for all kinds of woodworking stuff... tool organizers, dust collector adapters, etc., etc. It really helps if you know how to model 3D parts, that way you can build whatever your twisted mind can dream up
I think that's the most fun. Designing something that doesn't exist and then hitting print and being able to hold it in your hands.
Yes all of this.

To go from an idea or daydream, to sculpting it in VR, to 3D printing it in just a couple of hours and holding the physical manifestation of it in your hands is WILD.
I agree, I acquired an older 3D printer from work and it's been great for router templates.
Nice video, Drew. Glad to see you working with your son and his interest in working with you - family is important!
He's a printing fanatic now! He's got way more time into it than I do already
I bought my A1 back in October, and loving it, one might say you get so interested, you can't get enough. It's amazing at what you can do.
It truly is. I'm thinking that this will be a snowballing hobby. I can only see myself getting more and more engrossed into it.
When creating hose connectors, create two separate rings in the two sizes you need to adapt to. Give them minimum infill and only two outer layers. The two rings will print much faster, use less filament and you can test your sizes before you print the entire thing.
Great video though. I've had a 3D printer since 2016. It's invaluable for the woodshop.
But then you won't get any outtakes. :) Good tip
Underrated comment. This is what real experienced craftsman know.
I got a Snapmaker 2 combination 3D printer, laser cutter/engraver, and (very small) CNC machine a couple of years ago. I've printed quite a few useful things with it, including battery holders and dust collector adapters like you did. I've also laser engraved some of my wood projects to personalize them as gifts for people, and used the CNC function for making some engraved LED signs. My Snapmaker isn't the best at any of those functions - dedicated machines are generally better - but it's actually pretty darn good at all of them. But the best thing about it is that it combines all of that capability into a single machine, which for me it awesome, since my shop is very small - way too small to have space for a dedicated CNC machine, laser, and 3D printer. It only takes a couple of minutes to swap the modules and bed to switch from 3D printing, laser cutting/engraving, and CNC machining. I've had a lot of fun with it, but lately I've been a little frustrated with 3D printing. It can be finicky and getting the settings just right for successful prints can take some trial and error. I think you'll have a ton of fun with your Bambu Labs printer - it looks like an awesome machine.
Yeah, I like how Bambu has taken the guesswork out of it all and it just works. I don't have to mess with many settings at all.
I have a bambu and it’s just amazing! Iassc Aismov said “ Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic “ and I feel like 3D printers express this perfectly.
I like that! And I totally agree
@neilclarkwork -- That awesome quote about technology is from Arthur C. Clarke (not Isaac Asimov). I just bought the same A1 Combo that Drew demonstrates ... it's my first experience with 3D printing and truly is "magical" 😁
My friend, I pray the LORD continues to bless your hands and family. I love the tape measure marker. I need that in my life. Great video, thank you for educating us on this technology.
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I've made so many jigs with this and my laser cutter. I used to be sad that I couldn't cut metal or clear acrylics with my laser, but once I realized I could just make jigs for drilling and cutting, it made my life so easy.
Next thing I need to figure out is how to copy curves in my jig with a router.
@0:38 Kids _are_ for doing the heaving lifting - at least now that I and they are older. My grown boys come over whenever I need something heavy moved. 🙂
I really enjoyed the outtakes at the end! Thanks for that! Just shows the design process is not a one and done! Tap-Tap-Crack is a common theme as well! Glad to know I'm not the only one!!!
I think it’s good to show that designing isn’t always perfect the first time
Great video! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Drew
Merry Christmas to you too!
Thanks for tossing in the failures at the end! Good to know and see that most of us don't make it right the first time.
I never make anything perfect the first time. haha
Prototyping is half the fun :)
Drew, perfect timing for me. I just ordered the A1 and completely new to 3D printing.
Right on! You're going to love it
Thanks Drew. Great vid as always. Merry Christmas!
Thanks, you too!
That tape measure jig is awesome. I need to print that off!
You'll love it. It's super handy. Hopefully I’ll have the file available soon.
Really enjoyed the video Drew! You explained how it works so well that I think I could even be successful as long as I used designs that others have already made. I've never tried fusion or designing anything so have no knowledge how to do that and imagine there is a steep learning curve. I'd love to use it for all those designs that are already out there though. Bet you and your son both love using it!!!
Thanks Lori. Yes, my son has gone nuts with it. He's got way more time into it than I do currently and he's marketing and selling things at his school. It's pretty neat
@@FishersShop Wow, that's great.....your son is already becoming quite the entrepreneur!!! It's good for him to learn this too because it's the way our future is headed with this type of technology.
You did a great job on that video Drew, I’m on the fence on getting a 3 D printer and you sure made it easy to decide. Thanks
Thanks! Glad I could help! :)
Got the X1 Carbon a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had too much time to do anything with it, but definitely a game changer for my shop. The tape measure gadget is clever, I'd definitely would be interested in printing one!
Yeah, it's been a fun little gizmo for the shop. And with my failing eyes, it's helped out!
Very cool! We have the A1 Mini and love it.
I like the smaller profile of that one for sure
that IS impressive, thanks for sharing 👍👍
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Bought an X1C at the start of the year, recently picked up another recently, both have two AMS units on them with multiple spools of the same color filament for automatic replenish. Been an awesome set of printers, and the first time in ten years of 3d printing that it doesn't feel like work to just get a print started, never mind have it be successful on the first try.
That’s awesome! I’m still working on my first spools. Haha.
great video. It is crazy the things that can be done with a 3d printer. I have a X1 Carbon
Sure is! The X1 looks amazing
i just set up my A1 when i got your video notification. printing my first magnetic dust collector ports
Right on!
Wow fisher, you really made me watch a commercial. Good job
You’re welcome.
The split part with connector pins can be done in most slicers instead of in the CAD.
I haven't seen the option in Handy, but I have used it in Bambu Studio. Look under the cut tool there.
Yup found it.
Glad you have jumped into the 3D printing world and did so with a Bambu Lab A1. They are about the easiest 3D printer to get started with! I've been doing some Tinkercad tutorials to help people learn how to create their own designs too!
Where can we find these tutorials?
I've heard that's a pretty good beginner's CAD program.
i do woodwrking as a hobby but on job i use 3D printing a lot. bambu is excelent as plug'n'play printer, no fuss and great for people that need it as a tool. I've combined lots of 3D prints and wood materials together, what is hard for woodwoork it is easy for 3d print and vice versa. great addition, just keep it out of moisture and dust
Yeah the printer has moved out of the shop and sits in a dust free area. Looking forward to integrating it into future projects!
@FishersShop Don't know how much do you know about 3D printimg but VOC (volatile organic compound) is not to be ignored, especially with ABS, ASA materials, little bit less with PETG material. so don't keep it in the room with kids :)
Regarding the miter saw insert, the slicer software supports cuts/splits that also have the ability to insert peg holes and also produce pegs to insert into those holes. That can save some effort in creating the split yourself.
Right on. Trying it now!
I've seen a quite a few of videos like this recently and ha e wanted a 3d printer long before this but now I'm gonna pull the trigger and get one with my xmas bonus after seening your video 👍👍
Right on! You'll love it!
Great video. I just picked up an A1 a few weeks ago. Great printer. Thanks for the ideas! 😀
Right on! Thanks for watching
I have found that when making thinks for the shop it is best to print in ABS, ASA, or PETG. Once I'm done prototyping I also like to print at 100% infill for parts that will get some real use.
I gotta look into the other types of filaments
Can you post a link to the model files you used in this video? I found your zero clearance for the miter saw and its great! I am looking for the turn table one but not finding it. Thanks!
makerworld.com/models/573769
@@FishersShop Thanks!
I’m sure the prototyping process is frustrating, but it’s cool to see the end products actually work!
Sure seems like it opens up a whole bunch of possibilities!
Yeah... the wait time between the trial and error attempts is what gets me. But you're right... when it works, it's awesome.
I'd redo the zero clearance insert with a sacrifice insert in the insert so that you don't have to print the whole thing out multiple times. Use different colors for a 90deg insert and another color for 45s etc.
Interesting idea
Tamar with 3x3 customs pushed me over the edge on getting the A1 combo. I've had it since the first part of September, have over 1500 hours on it. I bought it for making things for my woodshop as well but to be honest, maybe only 50 hours on my printer has been for my woodshop and the other 1450 for random things. There is a huge world of 3D printing files out there to enjoy, and not just little useless toys. I have a 26+ hour print going on my right now for a Christmas present. Just do the regular maintenance, wash your plate with hot water and dawn dish soap, especially if you touch it with your hands (like I seen you doing lol, gets oils on the build plate and will give you adhesion problems) and it will run great, I have yet to have a problem with mine that I didn't create myself
Yup! The 3D printing world is bigger than I ever imagined! We had our first failure the other day and then I read about the adhesion issues people have after handling the build plate. I washed it with Dawn and haven't had any issues since. It's been a lot of fun so far and I'm finding myself constantly looking around the house for "problems" I could solve with a 3D print. :) Thanks for watching!
Yep. It started with an A1 mini for me, now I have the mini plus three A1s, and my wife has a mini and an A1. Amazing printers. I don't use dawn on my plates though; just a wipe with 91% isopropyl alcohol before every print and everything stick perfectly fine.
@@NWGR Good tip! That's a lot easier than what I was doing. Thanks
@@NWGRI'll definitely be adding another printer here in the near future. I do it as a hobby, not looking to make any money out of it but it just feels wrong to have it just sitting there not printing anything lol. My 26 hour print will finish about an hour after I go to work and just be sitting there until I get home. And multi plate prints, would be nice to have more than one printer working on it. And yeah, I don't use alcohol to clean my plate, I just follow what bambu recommends and I've only washed it 4 times in the 4 months I've had it, I just avoided touching the plate with my hands. I let the plate get to room temp and the print pops right off without having to remove the plate and a scraper for everything else.
Number 7 is several bridges to align the ends of boards in a glue up but span over the joint to miss the glue. I have an ACS and I need that adapter. Merry Christmas. (Thanks for the flat head screw lol)
Bill
I just got the same printer and have been printing a billion stupid toys to give away for Christmas. Just batched out 50 ornaments for my wife's co-workers. I got it because I badly need to organize my shop. Great stuff. I need to learn to model so I can do a zero clearance for my mitre as well.
It's easier than you think! And Fusion360 is free too
Search google for the model instead. Somebody has likely made it already. Also you can buy zero clearance tape. It's thin but strong and works well.
so do you share the files that you create.....like the miter saw throat plate?
It's not a perfect design. But I might refine it and put it out on makerworld eventually
The idea of buying a bambu 3d printer is slowly but steadily growing on me!
I was not even interested at first and now I don't know how I could go on without it.
its worth it
I really like the zero clearance insert for your miter saw. I got me to thinking, though, would it be possible to print a zero clearance fence into the insert, either by printing it into the insert itself or a third piece that would attach to the insert with pin, or CA glue? I get blowout where the blade exits above the insert.
For sure. However it's probably easier to just slap a strip of plywood down across both your fences and secure it in place. Then you can just chop through it and then you've got a 0-clearence fence.
The tape measure gizmo is pure genius
Well thanks. :) I might have them for sale in the near future
Congrats, Drew! That's a fantastic tool indeed! 😃
But wait until your kid discovers 3d printing for rc stuff... 😂
Merry Christmas!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
He's having a ball printing. Merry Christmas to you as well!
Now you can go down the Gridfinity rabbit hole. 🥳
Someone created a plug to put in the Kreg track saw, so dust collection is even better.
That would be a nice upgrade. I'll have to look for it.
@@FishersShopWittworks sells it
I want the tape measure marker thingie! I have a "Blind Man's Tape Measure" from Lee Valley which helps, but it's still a bit of a struggle. I'll be watching for the release. And yes, please make it in bright colors!
I will! Thanks!
3D printers really shine in shop storage applications. Anyone can get sucked into the gridfinity rabbit hole and end up with a custom pockets for every single tool in their cabinet. Great for board game enthusiasts too, my inlaws use the chit trays with pouring spout all the time and constantly let me know.
Yeah, I'm a big board gamer and have already been thinking about using the printer in that area.
I have a small 3D print farm of Ender machines. I have been watching several RUclipsrs using this particular Bambu machine and I gotta get one soon. I dont make chatchkees. I make useful items too. well Mostly Have made a few gifty type things for a few friends & Family, This is a fun hobby! Love your videos too.
Yeah it’s been a lot of fun! Thanks for watching.
I love that tape measure guide; i tool have eyes that are starting to teeter. do you sell the stl for that? I didn't see it on your site.
Yes it's coming soon. I'm still getting some things in order. I'll be selling the STL as well as sets of 3 printed markers for those without 3d printers. Just keep checking back on my site or sign up for the newsletter. I'll announce when it becomes available.
When are you going to make a build video for the cabinet/table to store the A1? 🙂
Oooooo.... that might be a future video
I bought the A1 Mini recently, and thought I'd add some comments.
* The A1 Mini is cheaper than the A1, and as far as I know, can do everything the A1 can do, except for size. But just as you had to split your zero clearance insert into two, that can be done with the Mini also (you might just have to split things more often).
* The AMS that hold four different reels/colours is of questionable use when printing tools for the workshop. Sure, it's nice to have, but if you don't want to spend too much, doing without that shouldn't be much of a problem. In fact it is still possible to do multi-colour prints without it, but in a more limited way and not as conveniently.
* The big problem for some people will be the learning curve (not on the printer; that's dead easy), but on designing your own prints. Sure, there are plenty of designs available on the internet, many for free, but if you want to design your own, there's a fair-to-significant learning curve, depending on what software you use and what you're trying to achieve.
Yeah, I've only done one multi-color print so far. It worked amazingly well and turned out looking fantastic but it sure adds a ton of time. It takes quite a bit of time to switch colors. If you're just looking for utilitarian function, then skip the AMS
I want everyone to buy one of those 3D printers.
This way I never need to learn the programs and when I need something I'll bring donuts tHanks for the video
Hehe sounds good!
For the zero clearance insert plate I would create it as one unit in fusion 360 then use Bambu Studio's splitter option to size the print for the build plate.
Yeah, I should try that to see how that works.
I 3D print hose fittings for dust collector fittings. As the ones I tried buying at the store never fit. I also 3D print clamps, bins, hooks and many other storage things. I also phone stands I print off so I can view the phone at an angle. I really use it for my dose meter as I'm doing calibrations as the meter lays flat and with the lights in the room all you see is glare.
Yeah, once I got it dialed in, that hose fitting is better than any store-bought one I've seen.
A 3D printer is very useful for so much.
I remember an article about 3D printing internal organs so surgeons can practice difficult surgeries.
That's pretty wild. I think I'll stick to woodworking though!
I got into 3d printing when I needed an adapter for my table saw dust collection. My first print was at our local library. That was in 2018. I now have 4 3d printers, 2 of which I built from scratch. Would love to have a printer like the one you have. A bit out of my budget right now...maybe Santa will bring me one.
Oh nice! I'd love to come up with a selection of things to print where I needed that many printers to all be going at once. hehe
@@FishersShop lol, 1 is for PLA, 1 for PETG, one for flexibles, and 1 is an experimental test machine. Thanks for your great videos, Merry Christmas!
Careful my friend … before long you will be printing so much you will want another printer … and then another … and then … well, at least that’s what happened to me. I started with the X1C and then bought the A1. The next one is likely to be the P1S … They truly have been a lot of fun and not just for the shop.
Haha yup. I definitely can see that happening.
Is the file for the zero clearance insert available?
Yes, it's free on Makerworld
Don’t worry about cutting and making connectors when you’re modeling. That is built into the slicer with the cut function!
Oh! I did not know that. Thanks!
Can we buy the STL file for the tape measure part?
Yeah, I'll put it up on my site eventually. Give me a couple weeks.
"ive always thought this was gimmicky until a 3d printing company paid me to say its not" lol
You can make little skulls to hide around your neighbour’s house! 😁
I like where your head is at!
Hi Drew, I could really do with the .stl file for the mitre saw zero clearance plate please, do you have it available anywhere?
Not at the moment. Maybe I'll send it up to makerworld so it's free
@@FishersShop That would be awesome if you could please.
@@FishersShop Just found it on Makers, thanks so much for sharing, sorry I don't have any boost to give at the moment but you're next to be boosted once I do.
Great video. I’ve been on the fence so long I have a permanent dent in my bum! What filament did you get? Thanks.
Just basic PLA. I got some silk, metal, and some glow in the dark to play with too.
You got it wrong, it doesnt print out toys, it IS the toy haha
Haha! You're not wrong.
I love my A1... been using it for useful prints, as well as fun prints! When I have a project, it's put to work, but then makes my fun stuff in-between those! It is the best work tool that I also get to play with!
I'm sure your neighbor has some spare spools of filament somewhere in his garage or storage shed, so future prints shouldn't cost you anything.
I'm sure he does. Good thing I 3D printed a set of his keys.
Great video, as always! There are loads more (useless) tools available to print. This might also improve your gaming table and some other things around the house that may need a bit of fixing up :).
Oooooo, not a bad idea!
I’m interested to know how will you protect this printer from dust when working. Because the only place i can put a 3d printer is in my wood shop. And I’m contemplating if i should purchase this printer or the one above with the casing. But the one with the case is very expensive.
I don't keep it in the shop
Bambo Labs is to 3D printing what DJI was to the early drones. No surprise that the 2 founders came from DJI.
Haha didn’t know that. That’s awesome. Before woodworking I had a DJI drone channel.
Great video. You have a way of making me want to go out and buy one of these immediately. Then I would be broke and have to sell a kidney to pay the mortgage but it seems worth it after watching this. 😂
You have 2 kidneys so you don't need 1. And then you could just 3D print another one if you end up wanting 2 again.
@ hahahah that’s a great idea!! 💡
You should flip the marking point 180 degrees, that way you can see the point more clearly over the 16ths.
I've already thought of that and done it on subsequent designs. :) Good thinking
is there any way getting the 3d plans for the tape measure marker I can't find any where in your website to purchase?
It'll find its way there eventually. Give me a couple weeks.
@ you got it sir thank you so much
I like how you think 4 hour prints are "long prints", i just completed a 47 hour print.. (it was 2 parts 27 hours and 20 hours), and that's with the A1, i would hate to think how long it would take on say a Ender 3 which was my first printer.
I’m not used to waiting that long just to find out if I designed it right.
Would you wreck your throat plate, since it was two parts couldn't you have just saved two of the 4 hours of reprinting by just doing the top half that was damaged?
I couldn't get them apart. Plus, I had already tested the initial cut so I sorta ruined that option.
It would be great to see you do a video about hints and tricks for using Fusion 360. Its really hard to use but I love the idea of copying what your able to achieve in this video.
Yeah, I might have to do something like that in the future
Don’t forget the insert for the table saw
That insert from the outtakes still would have been totally fine. You would just have to live with it not looking perfect.
Sometimes I leave my mistakes on display if they don't effect the function of the project, at least in the shop, because they are constant reminders to me about those mistakes and to not repeat them.
Yeah I suppose but I'm so OCD that I would have lost sleep over it.
When you make the tape measure right angle thing I’ll buy 5.
Haha, I just might!
@@FishersShopsame here, any idea on when you can make this available?
@@AndyDeMeyer Keep watching my website. I hope to have it on there in a bit. I'm still getting things in order.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing!
Welcome to the Bambu family
I just need a better way to learn Fusion.
Thanks!
I'm really dying to get one of these. I've had my eye on it for a long time. Basically any tool, jig, or whatever you see out there made of plastic can be made on one of these, given you have a file for it or a little CAD experience.
Even if you have zero experience there are countless files available online to download and print. Anyone is sure to find multiple pre-made projects that will be handy for them.
I need to do more work justifying my laser engraver to my wife before I can drop another $500 on a new toy.
You're absolutely right. It really wasn't until I had one in my possession that I started to realize just how useful it is. Now I'm printing like crazy
You may want to make a base for the system.
Or maybe an entire mobile cart.
Bambu Labs is the new Sawstop 😅.
They've surpassed them already and are closing in on Festool. :)
@@FishersShopLOL. So true. I personally think a 3d printer is a great tool to add a workshop/maker area. The vast amount of things it can be used to create from fixtures, jigs, and even other tools is mind-blowing.
Oh you're only just getting started... check out Thingiverse and the incredible variety of wood working tools, adapters, clips, clamps, and even hand planes !!! And quit being a lightweight with your 4 hour prints... go print yourself a 52 hour print lol. How long until your inner nerd has you printing a storm trooper helmet ??? Great video and loved the insight on the Bambu, I've been looking at upgrading my FDM printers since most of them are quite old.
Yeah I’m new. Waiting 4hrs to see if your design works was painful but immediately breaking it was even worse.
@FishersShop oh yeah, failed prints and breaking prints is all part of the "fun". Then there's temperature controls, different filaments ( even wood ones ), and so much more. Stick with it, it's very fun and rewarding
Personally I've skipped on the combo (not really needed and definitely a pretty big price hike), but the A1 has been treating me remarkably well since I got it.
Yeah, so far so good. Great printer
If you re-print that zero clearance insert with 10 top layers, it should last a long time. PETG would probably be a better choice for material - it's not nearly as brittle as PLA is.
Yeah, good advice. I made the center of both pieces 100% infill so I'm guessing it should last quite a bit of time. But if I did the rest of the top like you said, it would be even better.
@@FishersShop Another thing to consider is making the next one with a pre-made slot that's just a bit under your blade width, and then bump up the wall count to 5-10. It'll increase the stability of that area without going to the extreme of 100% infill. Either way, excellent work. :)
Hey do you get to keep the printer???
Yes
@ oh nice
Wait until you start printing boxes and containers for parts storage. I LOVE the Harbor Freight Storehouse 20-bin Parts Storage Containers. The only problem that I have with them (now that they've solved the glue residue issue from the stickers they put on the lid), is that there aren't nearly enough of the small bins. Even those, I feel, waste space. So, after doing lots of searching on places like Thingiverse and Thangs, I've not only found solutions to this, but designed and created my own either tiny parts bins where I have 2 or more divisions of a small bin for tiny screws and such but, also for those parts I only have a small number of, but just can't bring myself to throw them in the garbage. See, I just know that, if I were to do that, within a week I would have a need arise for that very item and end up having to go buy something because I'd thrown it away. So, now I keep EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF FASTENER I come across! As an added bonus, now I don't have to search through all these small-number pieces looking for that M.5 x 10mm bolt. Now I just scan the boxes until I find some that looks to be about the right size and viola! Majorly speeds things up. Another added benefit of having 3D printers is printing tailor-made tool hangers. I have little armed hooks that perfectly fit my T-squares, boxes sized just right for my Walabot and laser tape measure, plus all the triangles for my speed squares and ledges with slots for my combination squares. Oh, and perfectly curved mounts for my digital calipers. The battery holders are extremely convenient and I have them for both my Ryobi AND Ridgid batteries, not to mention all the hangers designed specifically for battery-powered tools. That brings to mind the Multiboard wall storage system that I discovered that allows customizing of how tools are hung on the wall with a complete support system that also allows the use of regular pegboard pegs! 3D printing is a fantastic world and has given me so much that I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to buy. For a mere fraction of what I'd have to pay for a finished product, I can just 3D print whatever I need, the only cost being the wait time. Of course, this "waiting period" is nothing compared to waiting for something to arrive either through snail mail or a package delivery service. If I could afford to buy any particular item, I'd have to sometimes wait days for it to arrive. The longest 3D print that I've printed, so far, took about 2 1/2 days to print, which is about the same time it would've taken to have it delivered. Most prints, though, are completed in just a few hours. By printing it, though, I saved massive amounts of money and could custom tweak it to my exact needs and requirements before creating the object. Also, there's no worries about having to return something for either a refund or replacement. As you so eloquently found out, if you screw something up, just pitch it and start over. Messed up 3D prints can be recycled so, I just pitch all my screwups into the recycle bin.
I bought a Bambi A1 mini with the 4 roll thingy. All I can print is the stuff on the machine that it comes with. A little banshi and 10 scrapers. I bought it to make dust collection adapters and a bunch of stuff but I am so old school and have tried to use a Sketchup and just can not figure out how to use it. I have watched a lot of videos but I just can’t figure out how it works and I get so angry. I am obviously dumber than the average person when it comes to computer stuff. Any tips on how to learn Sketch up 360 and how to send things free off the internet to the Bambi mini ?? Please don’t be rude. I know I’m not the brightest just honest help would be SO MUCH APPRECIATED
I'm afraid I can't help with Sketchup. I stopped using that app years ago and moved to Fusion360. It's free, but I'll admit... it's got a very steep learning curve. I've heard really good things about an easy app called TinkerCAD though. Maybe try looking into that one?
I am so embarrassed, I have no idea why I said sketchup. I did mean fusion 360.
I don't send things straight to the printer (I'm not suggesting that there's any problem with that). I simply download to my computer, then drag and drop it into Bambu Studio, then send it to the printer from there. Okay, there's a couple of other steps (e.g. 'slicing' it), but that's about all there is to it.
@@PJRaymentI want to thank you for your help. I will try that , I think I can manage to figure that out I hope. I seen it on RUclips and figured that it LOOKED easy enough to do, but I got very intimidated really quickly. I learn by watching someone do things, but I also get frustrated easily and then discouraged. This was NO DIFFERENT. So Ty
5 things? I've probably made 100 things for my shop. Radius gauge templates, Circle Templates for a router (or dremel), Tool holders, Clamps, wedges, different jigs, Sanding sticks, Collet holders and so much more. As for your 'dust port', it's actually WAY faster to sketch a profile and perform a rotate. At least that's how I did it, and maybe I'm wrong (I'm a rank amateur with Fusion, and learned more things from James at Clough42 and Product Design OnLine than pretty much anybody else).
So, now that I know you have that A1....I think I know what will make up for so many things that have gone missing over the years....or maybe I'll wait for Bambu to send you that X1C or next gen that comes out next year.
4 hour prints....LOL....Done some 40 HOUR prints...LOL...
Oh, wait until you discover GRIDFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used the offset plane and loft method when building my adapters, so many ways, I want to learn them all!
@@ffbells I tried doing Lofts, and had some issues. Again, I'm a total hack at Fusion. Would LOVE to find a good class, but 99% of the ones people say are "THE BEST" on YT are just too confusing. Some skip way too many key information pieces. They go from "Here's how you make a cube, and put a hole in it" to "now you know how to design this jet turbine" in one step. LOL....
@@WreckDiver99 I completely identify with "Fusion Hack"! 🙂 I'd kill for a good class, but I really want is to know someone that I can call with specific questions, it's frustrating to have to look at 100 videos to try to find the one function I need RIGHT NOW.... 😞
That's how I designed the adapter. If you watch closely, you'll see that I sketched the profile of the mid-section and then used the revolute tool followed by the shell tool to make the conical piece.
@@FishersShop Sure didn't look like it. Looks like you made 3 separate sections and assembled it. If you create a sketch of the outline with the thickness you want, you can revolve it and be done. Maybe I'm missing it here. Just another way of doing it, and the way you show works, and maybe it is actually a better way. As I've said, I'm a hack when it comes to Fusion...100% PURE hack. LOL.
Is this the first time nothing was stolen from your neighbor? Or did the scrapped projects get thrown in his backyard?
Where do you think I got all the filament from?? ;)
I guess now your neighbor will be "donating" filament to your projects.
Yup! You know it
Welcome to the 3d rabbit hole…
Thanks
The Prusa, while crazy expensive, uses considerably less filament. The Bamboo lab wastes a TON of filament, and takes more than twice as long for multi-color projects
well I’m not in any big hurry. I like how automated Bambu has things.
That build plate is awesome, but you're mistreating it. The PEI coating will be damaged if you continue to pull things off when it is hot like that. Wait for the build plate to cool and the coating will make the pieces come right off without any issue at all! I've found it'll need to be 28C or cooler for that. Pulling things off at 64 is both much harder and damages the plate. Having come from a non PEI coated plate the PEI ones are wonderful - no glue stick on the plate so that things stick, that you then have to fight to get things off of the plate.
Great advice. Thanks 🙏
I don’t believe I would’ve shown the outtakes at the end. The person I shared the video with may find that too discouraging.
I always show all my screw ups. Sometimes there's too many to show
I bet you could make a perfect TRIANGLE right off the bat. No obsessively trimming pieces for a perfect fir.
Yes!
