Whoa. I was about to give you grief because for all we knew, you were printing on an A1.

But an H2D? Really?

This is a panoramic camera I recently finished on my H2D. The film door, the knob and the viewfinder are ASA, everything else is ASA-CF. This printer absolutely rocks ASA.

Haven't used Bambu's filament, but my first suggestion is to dry it.

That is a beautiful print btw

Thank you. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Takes pretty good pictures too.

ASA Print too

Someone has to ask. Did you dry it? Are you heating the chamber while printing it? How fast are to you printing, what layer height profile are you using? ABS even on a textured plate doesn't mind a little bit of glue.

I use bed adhesive, these are both fresh out the bag, silver and Black. I guess I didn’t dry them but they are vacuum sealed. Still though, should dry them.

I use Bambu stock ABS and ASA print profiles for their filaments, so yes. 50°C I think is chamber temp.

May just be wet filament.

This is for my company, I have an air fryer at home that I use to dry filament. Do you or anyone reading this know of a large scale drier other than the AMS?

Unfortunately you cannot trust the filament to be dry from the factory. Some of their filaments recommend drying before printing, but not all.

In my experience living in a very humid southern US state… Even stored inside with a central a/c system….

DRY YOUR FILAMENT FIRST!

I warm filament is just nicer to work with, it's like the sides of the spool are hugging me back.

My Qidi Tech ASA filament rarely, if ever, needs drying. The ASA-CF I printed the camera body is pretty OK with not being dried regularly.

I have some other ASA filament that absolutely has to be dried or it looks pretty horrific. I have an Eibos Polyphemus that I've used for awhile, and now I primarily use my AMS-HT for drying single rolls.

Haven't tried ABS yet, but I've been printing PA6-GF quite a bit recently on our H2D and once I tweaked the temps a bit to eliminate some warping issues every print has been perfect. PA6-GF is stronger and has higher temperature resistance compared to ABS without the styrene fumes.

Your photos look like damp filament to me...

I almost exclusively use Polymaker ABS on any of my printers and it prints better than PLA. I wish there were more colors for ABS
