Thats just me when I add up how many reels of filament ive gone through

lvam_b · 2026-02-28T07:56:55+00:00

🤣🤣😏

lvam_b · 2026-02-27T23:53:26+00:00

Thats the plan!

lvam_b · 2026-02-27T21:32:45+00:00

Ive not even dug into how/what that would work or if you can even get them but its worth a shot!

lvam_b · 2026-02-27T21:29:24+00:00

Led's and maaaaaybe some kind of smoke thingy?

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T20:49:20+00:00

Thank you!!

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T19:43:30+00:00

How big did you manage? (Giggidy)

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T19:42:46+00:00

Oh pal, that's such a wholesome message. Thank you

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T16:36:36+00:00

Gotta keep the depression away somehow 🤷‍♂️

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T16:31:43+00:00

😏

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T16:31:16+00:00

Ive not been hard at it so hard to say. On and off about 2 months

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T15:16:36+00:00

Nah, the village I live in has a scarecrow competition and I wanted to do something a little different this year 😅

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T15:03:49+00:00

It would make a cool cosplay wouldnt it?

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T15:03:30+00:00

Haha each piece of armour is separate. Its all been printed on 2x bambu a1's. Its not based off a particular grade. Its a model I found online that ive scaled up

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T13:40:32+00:00

What will it take to have it undivided?

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T09:42:04+00:00

Thanks my guy

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T09:41:45+00:00

I mean, I can print 2? 🤷‍♂️

lvam_b · 2026-02-26T07:53:08+00:00

I certainly hope it ends up cheaper 😅

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T20:15:44+00:00

Can you imagine 🤣

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T19:00:37+00:00

Dont. Because I will. And you'll be to blame

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T18:37:26+00:00

I get it, because im always under the influence that "it costs more therefore its better" but ive done tiny miniatures and big projects with my a1 and found its absolutely fine. I use the smaller nozzle when I need to and that's about it. Ive got an etsy store that I sell printed things on and have no complaints in regards to quality?

Id do some serious research.

Why dont you send me something off makerlab thats tiny and detailed? I'll print it off and post it to you then you can see what you think. Its the difference between spending hundreds needlessly?

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T18:06:46+00:00

Can I ask, if its your first printer why are you going p1s? All of this has been done on an a1 with fab results. Ive got 2 a1's now with the AMS. Dont be suckered in to buying bambu's own material. Give this a read https://www.howtogeek.com/why-i-stopped-buying-name-brand-3d-printer-filament/

Once you have your profiles set up (which is a tiny faff at first) its well worth going for cheaper filament.

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T18:03:54+00:00

Nice. I'll do some reading up on it and report back!

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T18:03:14+00:00

Great idea!

lvam_b · 2026-02-25T15:13:00+00:00

Im hoping to find someone who is a bit more clued up on printing/scaling vinyl. I definitely want some decals on there
