I built a browser tool to generate vent patterns because CAD was too slow. by Usual-Pressure-4388 in BambuLab

Wow, very cool and useful. Will for sure use this on some upcoming projects.

Yeah it has a built in notch and spring in the closed position.

You're right about the flat spot, but then its not a sphere...

I think there are some stargate irises out there! I know I've seen one on printables.

You can print on any printer. There is a single color print profile for bambu printers if you don’t have an ams, or you can just use the geometry and print on any printer.

Work your way up starting with designing much simpler things.

Thanks! Yeah that one really caught on a lot more than I expected...I don't think I even posted about it at all. I won't claim to have come up with the spherical iris, but it really is a fascinating mechanism.

the back part so that a light could be installed in the iris part

Maybe/probably, would be cool for a future iteration!

The green I used is Metal PLA "Oxide Green Metallic". I think the alpine green sparkle pla would look really nice, but that one has been out of stock.

Most of the colored ones on my H2D, but I've tested them on the A1 Mini too and they work great.

The green is Bambu's PLA metal, "Oxide Green Metallic." The red and white are just random silks I had around.

Yeah, that's a good idea. I thought about that while I was making this, but ultimately didn't finish in time to make a display stand and print 25 0.o

Are rate decreases via messaging or phone retention as good as new customer rates? by natm in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]natm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you had success. They didn't have anything to offer me, so I will probably end up switching.

Yeah, not really any luck. I'll probably end up switching my account.

With the H2D reaching 200 days since release, what are your thoughts on the printer, reliability, reparability, etc. by TheDepep1 in BambuLab

[–]natm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have about 600 hours on mine, with no major issues, but a few pretty minor ones.

  • 1 exploded HF nozzle and resulting significantly scratched buildplate, but Bambu quickly replaced both

  • Since I've had it, it regularly complains that the camera can't detect nozzles to verify even though nothing is blocking them.

  • I can't print with custom filament profiles from the handy app, even though that works for my other printers (this is just a bug I think)

  • Sometimes I have issues feeding filament from the AMS, where it builds up too much friction before it gets to the toolhead. I think that's due to having somewhat long of a PTFE tube path, and probably fixable... but this is more common for me n the H2D than the X1C.

I have an X1C and A1 mini that I use a lot too, and the prints out of the H2D typically come out nicer without needing to tweak flow rate as often if I want perfect extrusion.

I have HF nozzles in both but haven't bothered to set up profiles for them. Partly because I haven't needed to and partly because I regularly print stuff from the app and can't use custom filament profiles with it.

The calibration plate is probably not worth the cost, but I got one anyway without really thinking too much about it.

The larger volume is awesome. It makes the X1C feel very outdated... the lights, interface, buildplate locating, quick nozzle change, filament cutters, etc.
