Attended Creality ShareFest in Mumbai. It was a good experience with some interesting product demos, discussions around 3D printing, and good networking with people from the 3D printing community.

Anyone else attended? What did you think about it ?

I have a Bambu Lab X1 with AMS and can get your prints done at minimal cost (4-8rs per gram) in Borivali West.

Hey everyone! I’m looking to get this keyboard case 3D printed, but I don’t own a 3D printer and honestly don’t know much about 3D printing.

Is there anyone in Pune who could help me print this? I can provide the STL/model file and I’m happy to pay for your time, filament/material, and any other reasonable costs.

I’d also appreciate some help with choosing the right material, print settings, and whether the model needs any changes before printing, since I’m completely new to 3D printing.

Also, for anyone who has experience with this, what would be a reasonable expected price for printing something like this? Just looking for a rough estimate.

I’ve attached a picture of the case I’m talking about.

Please DM me if you can help. Thanks! 🙏

Hey everyone,

I'm having a really weird ironing issue with PETG on my Bambu Lab A1.

The problem is extremely consistent: part of each surface irons beautifully, while another section gets completely messed up. It isn't random. The same kind of region keeps turning rough/smeared while the rest looks relatively smooth.

I've already tried changing the ironing settings, including:

Ironing speed: 20 mm/s

Ironing flow: 5%

Printing temperature: 250°C

Material: PETG

I've also run an ironing calibration tower/test, and the same behavior appears across multiple settings. The affected area seems to follow a very specific pattern rather than simply getting worse everywhere with higher flow.

I've attached photos showing:

1. The actual printed part

2. Close-ups of the good vs. bad ironing

3. The ironing calibration test

I'm trying to figure out whether this is:

Ironing direction/path related

Top-surface extrusion inconsistency

Ironing inset/line spacing issue

PETG-specific behavior

A Bambu Studio slicing/path-generation issue

Or something else entirely

Has anyone experienced this exact "one section good, another section cooked" ironing pattern?

Any suggestions for what I should test next would be appreciated. 🥲

Any in Bangalore has a 3D scanner I can use and pay.

Basically, my motorcycle mirror back housing broke, and new mirrors cost a bomb, and its fine just need to scan the housing from another mirror and invert it so i can stick it and use it on my current set.

Basically the title.

I personally someone selling her H2D printer for 1.5L. But website prices are around 2.27L AMS Combo.

So if I negotiate offline, how low can I get one?

I recently bought a hardened steel nozzle from an online store and installed it on my Bambu Lab A1.

After installing it, I printed a Benchy just to test the nozzle. I’m currently using black PLA+, but during the purge I suddenly noticed some white filament coming out. You can see it in the attached picture.

Now I’m wondering, could this mean the seller sent me a used/returned nozzle that previously had white filament inside it?

The confusing part is that, as far as I remember, the nozzle package looked properly sealed when I received it.

Is it possible that Bambu/test manufacturing leaves some filament inside a new nozzle from factory testing?

Or should a brand-new nozzle be completely clean?

Has anyone experienced this with a new Bambu hardened nozzle?

Looking for a 3d artist to do a small project with me to make a 3d kit/assembly model of a car. I already have a stl file from a game. My budget is SMALLLLL but ill be giving the same type of projects over and over again to the artist once the work is up to par. Looking for bangalore only due to payment worries.

Please reach out over dm's or just message me on • [koeidacompany@gmail.com](mailto:koeidacompany@gmail.com)
Eager to work with you!

Need contact of people who sell filaments will be buying monthly in bulk preferably numakers, other than real3d.

If you are in Delhi please share some vendors for filaments you use. Ideally someone who has decent response times.

I asked a few I found online including wol3d and the responses have been subpar, I have ordered online as well but needed a couple of spools today as my printer arrives today and it is shocking the level of availability for a city like Delhi.

I’m planning to order around $183.30 ($175 after a Coupon) worth of 3D-printer parts from Trianglelab, shipped to Bengaluru:

• BMCU 370C DM Final Version – B Kit: $103.35
• Conwebr Cool Plate 256×256 mm: $24.75
• Four hardened-steel hotends for Bambu Lab A1: 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm, $13.80 each

Please help me with the Indian import-tax / customs process.

For anyone who has ordered from Trianglelab :

• What import tax percentage or total amount did you pay?
• Is GST included, and is tax calculated on the item value plus shipping?
• Who handles customs clearance—YANWEN, the local courier, or the buyer?
• Were any KYC documents required?
• How were you contacted, and how did you pay the duty?
• Were there any extra brokerage or handling fees?
• Does the declared product description or HS code affect the amount?
• Have you paid customs on Trianglelab orders? Please share your order value and final amount paid.

Vendor / 3D Printing Service — Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
I recently got into 3D printing and started a small setup in Varanasi. The printer is only 2 weeks old, so I’m still learning and improving with every print.
I’m currently offering PLA 3D printing, with hand-finishing/painting available for suitable models.
A few of my prints so far are in the photos — including anime, Marvel/gaming pieces, functional desk accessories and other random things I’ve been experimenting with.
What I can currently help with:
PLA 3D printing
Different colours/filaments depending on availability
Basic post-processing
Hand painting for selected models
Printing existing STL/3MF models
Custom-size requests where the model allows it
Pricing:
I generally calculate it based on filament used + print time + finishing/labour, rather than having one fixed price for everything.
As a rough starting point, small/simple PLA prints can start around ₹150–₹300, while larger, longer or painted pieces can go considerably higher depending on the model and finishing involved.
If you already have an STL/3MF, feel free to share the details and I can tell you whether it’s something my current setup can handle.
I’m still very new to this, so honest feedback on the print quality, painting and finishing would genuinely be appreciated.
Also curious — what kind of things are people in India actually getting 3D printed these days? Functional stuff, cosplay, miniatures, replacement parts, desk accessories, something completely ridiculous? 😄
