Quick Question Dryer for Bambu A1

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm new to this, just got my Bambu A1 combo. It comes with PETG filaments, and I've tried using it but it doesn't stick to the plate.

I guess it's because it's damp AF right now at home, so as I understand by reading some threads here, a dryer might be useful.

I've seen some options :

- AMS HT

- Sunlu S2

- Sunlu S4

I'm on a budget so the AMS 2 Pro for example is out.

Would the Sunlu S2 be enough for PLA / PETG, or will I get better performance / ease of use with the AMS HT ?

Thanks a lot

Answered / Solved! Support not generating.

This model of mine has a lot of support, and sometimes the slicer doesn't generate support there, so I need to paint some on, but I never had that support that didn't exist and started printing in midair.

Looking for a solution, I tried painting more supports and closing and reopening the slicer, but it didn't work. It also isn't a visual bug because when printed, the support starts printing in midair.

Update: I changed the support type, and now it works.

Forget hand-painting tiny triangles with a brush. With our new Geometric Coloring tool, you just click + to select areas and - to exclude them — the selection automatically snaps cleanly along the model's geometric boundaries. Even better, this exact same capability will also be used for part splitting to break models into separate pieces for easier printing.

This feature is part of the 3D Editing workspace in AIMIA, MakerLab's new all-in-one AI creation suite on MakerWorld. AIMIA combines AI image generation, 3D generation, and — most importantly — a dedicated 3D Editor built to make AI models truly printable.

Quick Question Just got the A1 Mini - how do I get even remotely competent at making my own designs?

16 Upvotes

I've tried TinkerCAD, which seemed totally useless and really annoying to do anything with.

Now I'm trying to learn Autodesk and holy shit is is complicated, making basic shapes is like my Everest currently 😂

With all the amazing community models and remixes etc out there it seems so many people can just easily throw things together or make tweaks to existing models, I just wanted to ask if anyone has any advice on how to attain some basic level of competency and what is the best software to learn on? For pretty casual use really.

Hi all,

Im sure this is unnessesary and will probably not reach all the people that helped me today but i had a massive stress lording over me today. My fanily had purchased a 3d printer for me (second hand) and the previous sellers had left it in such a bad state i had to pull it apart around 5 times today and had no help usiong the bambu labs forums to fgiure it out. The amount of comments and support i got today really made me feel a lot better about my situation and even though a lot of comments werd not the immediate solution, the fact you guys took your time to write them is what matters! im hugely grateful to you all and thankful i had the courage to put a post up on reddit as a hail mary to sort it out. EVERYTHING I MAKE NOW WILL HAVE YOU ALL IN MIND! i feel like i picked a great hobby to start up and can tell ill get support no matter what happens in the future.

THANK YOU REDDIT AND THE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO HELPED ME TODAY!

(i attached the printer making its first print at my house :) thank you guys x10000000)

All day today my prints have immediately been failing and I can’t figure out what’s going on. I’ve cleaned my nozzle, cleaned my bed, done a cold pull, recalibrated, tried different filament, etc. but no matter what I do, this keeps happening.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I Modeled This! My entry for the MakerWorld Incense Design Contest: A 3D Printed Yin Yang Zen Garden! 🧘‍♂️ (A1 Mini friendly)

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share my latest design that I just submitted for the MakerWorld Incense Design Contest. It’s a Yin Yang Zen Garden & Cone Incense Holder.

I noticed a lot of incense holders leave a mess of ash on the desk, so I designed a two-part modular system. It features an outer tray and an inner insert with fluid Yin Yang grooves. The cone incense holder is completely removable and is designed to act as an ash catcher to keep things clean.

If you use fine incense sand in the tray, you also have the option to skip the plastic holder entirely and place the cone directly on the sand for a more traditional, minimal look.

Multiple Sizes: I exported profiles ranging from 125mm up to 250mm in diameter. The 125mm to 175mm versions fit perfectly on the A1 mini build plate!

I’d love to hear your thoughts or feedback on the design. What filament colors would you use for this?

You can find the files and enter the contest here 👇

Happy printing! 🍃
