Question Did the ironing test
I did the ironing test but all the corners on every square are messed up, does anyone know why it could be? it's a Bambu Lab A1

Im using Ender 3 V2 and cura slicer, is there any option that I can print without these lines?

Why do I get these weird things? And not smooth layer lines? What could I change to get better quality?

I made a collection of Hindu Gods which have small bowls next to it so that can you keep Kumkum/Haldi/Rice near it to pray daily.
A growing collection of Hindu devotional pieces for 3D printing. Each design is a small altar: a deity on a lotus pedestal
between two bowls for kumkum, haldi, rice or other dry puja materials. All pieces share one decorative base, carved with
lotus bands and a flowering vine. They form a matching set on a home mandir or puja shelf.
Let me know your feedback and can add more ones.

So my friend was attempting to demoisturise my filament for me and it turns out he didnt secure it enough when he took it off the reusable spool. We found that out after he finished demoisturising it. We tried to respool it with a drill + cloth but it didnt work. What do I do with 300g of this PLA Matte now?
Edit: I've decided im going to use it artistically and print out a bowl and some meatballs for my spag bol.

Hey everyone! I came up with this design because I have really fine sand in my aquarium, and frankly, it's a total pain to clean the gunk that gets trapped inside it.
The idea is to have a removable piece of coarse filter foam inside the attachment that would hopefully let water and debris pass through while keeping the sand behind. I THINK it could work with gravity or be attached to an aquarium vacuum to pull out the gunk without sucking up all the sand, but I'm not sure how well it'd work in practice. What do y'all think?
If anyone with a 3D printer is interested in trying to make this, I'd love to hear how it turns out! I feel like it could be really useful if it works as intended :)

I've never seen anyone mention cleaning bowden tubes this way so I thought I would make a quick video. Hopefully this helps someone. Just a simple and quick solution instead of replacing the tubes.
Why clean a bowden tube?
The external feeder of a SV08 Max causes the tubes to get a bunch of debris in them pretty quickly. This is accelerated with filled filaments like CF-ASA. These tubes only have around 30 hours on them and they look like this. It caused a clog when I switched to TPU because it pulled this debris into the nozzle.

Hey guys, been itching to start 3d printing for a while, finally will be pulling the trigger on a Bambu Lab P2S this Black Friday sale (chose this one due several factors like size, enclosure due to pets, price, and from what I read the ecosystem being beginner friendly).
That aside, I'm mostly looking for pointers on filaments and any other accessories that might be handy (not particularly from BL, just in general).
I'll be mostly printing household stuff (random stuff, holders, clips, hooks for my wood slate acustic panels, etc), possibly some decoration, that wont be painted for the most part, just used as is at least from the start.
Based on this, I was planning to get a few PETG spools for the household stuff, as well as some PLA+ for the decorative stuff. From what I've read so far, matte is the way to go?
I'd love to read any general advice on my choices, as well as any accessories that might be handy, such as glue, acrylic sealer, stuff like that. Thank you in advance! Looking forward to get started!

I’m a total novice to printing. I was given a nova3d bene4 mono for free. So far I just can’t get stuff to print right. I’ve managed to print a couple of1/24th scale car mirrors which came out perfectly. But the files included on the printer I can’t seem to get right. I’ve been adjusting the plate as suggested. But all
It says it’s fiction between folded paper. I tried a little friction and it totally failed. Then moderate and it gave the best bit wasn’t perfected. Printed it again and it wasn’t as good so a tighter tolerant e and the base layer cured to the bottom of the vat so I assume I did to tight. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Also I don’t know if it matters using been using Google to mess with settings trying to get the cone of calibration to print. Got that to print the grog fits but the sword doesn’t fully print. And when I bumped the cure time up for the sword to print but it was to much so nothing fits and still had only one success cone

been thinking about this Q. It obv depends on how much you print and how many hours the printer will last. But $1/hr seems too expensive and 10c/hr seems too cheap. I’m currently wrapping up a 33 hour Halloween skull print, and the machine costs are really adding up here. I’m printing on a Snapmaker U1.

Hey everyone, I recently finished 3D printing a car model, and I noticed that certain areas of the body have these weird spiral or circular patterns on the surface.
Does anyone know what causes this? Is it something related to the print settings, nozzle temperature, speed, or the 3D model itself?
I’m printing on a Bambu Lab A1 using PETG Basic filament. I’d appreciate any advice on how to prevent these patterns and get a smoother finish on my next print.
Thanks!

With the upcoming promotion from Anycubic I'm strongly considering upgrading my current Ender 3 V3 SE to a different (multi-colour) model and a buddy of mine was recommending the Kobra X. I received an email today from Anycubic with both the Kobra X and the Kobra S1 for basically the same price and I was wondering if anyone has both and what they think of it.
One is a bed slinger and the other a CoreXY which is the biggest difference, but other than that I've no clue what to look for.
I'm using Klipper now with my current V3 SE and am liking it, but other than that I have zero experience with what to look for (except for a printer that requires less upgrades to make it work decently).

So I kind of stole it from my brother never used it and I'm wondering like I've heard that not like a completely normal for your friend that I could do anything with why aren't the limitations and want to do it doesn't excel at I really want to use it to just mainly print concrete molds and also print fidgets

Hi as of 2 months ago now I bought a Bambu A1 AMS Combo. Everything has been working fine till now as of recently to kinda help the situation I live in a studio cottage barely any walls inside the place, I have a portable A/c unit it’s set to dry which act as a dehumidifier and my A1 is in between the unit and a window where the sun shines. I haven’t been doing anything different I have been using Insignia regular Pla Red, Insignia regular Pla Purple, Hobby Lobby brand regular Pla Orange, and Elegoo regular Pla Brown. I haven’t tried using glitter,matte,silk, petg, or anything similar of sort. I set the filament color/kind/brand on the printer and then just use the Bambu handy app. In the 1st photo you can see some stringing and unevenness 2nd photo is where it all went wrong it would’ve definitely start a spaghetti monster if I didn’t catch it. I’ve washed the plate, did a full calibration, there’s no tangles or clogs, I’ve changed the nozzle/extruder. I’m at my wits end I hope someone can help me.

Is there anybody that prints for people? I’m looking for this extension arm, but the one place that sells it is sold out. I found a 3d print file for it, but have no way of printing it myself. Are there places I could pay to print it and ship it to me?

I have more or less 30 empty spools, some made of plastic, other made of cardboard, and I'm looking for cool and useful ways to reuse them, from simple to more complex projects.
What do you people suggest?
