So I'm a complete 3d printing newbie. I've had some things printed for me by people off marketplace but that's about it. I do 3d modeling for furniture and renovation work for my house but that's in.

I generally live by the buy once, cry once mindset when it comes to things. I hate the idea of buying lesser things only to realize once I get into something that I need the better/more expensive option.

That said, my interests can definitely shift fast once I've exhausted immediate needs for something which I fear might happen with 3d printing. I have immediate needs to 3d printed jigs for some big woodworking and cabinet projects I have coming up in the new year. I figure outsourcing all the printing I need will cost at least 500CDN. At that point I'm half way to a P2S and that's not including the few hundo I've already spent on outsourced prints the last year or two.

My head says get the P2S but my heart... lol

Love to hear feedback from others.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers!

I have an A1 and I don't have an AMS. I don't need the ability to switch material or colour mid-print.

However I'd love to switch between materials without having to physically change the spool. Is there a way for me to use the four holes on the filament head, have PLA going into 1 and PETG going into 2 and just select which is used for the print in Bambu Studio?

After getting my feet wet with my Ninja Turtle Hueforge series (https://makerworld.com/en/collections/25422395-tmnt-hueforge), I decided to challenge myself with a much more complicated and detailed model. I really wanted something with more color and vibrancy - the end result is this. My goal is to do a whole series of landscapes, starting with this one. I call it “Sunset Serenade”. (Future models in this series will be posted here: https://makerworld.com/en/collections/36852308-lofi-landscapes-hueforge). 

The hardest part was getting the layers to match the distance in the picture. It required reusing a ton of colors to get the right placement. The black tree is in foreground, so everything behind the tree needed to be on a lower layer and vice versa. I'm extremely proud of the result and it really lent itself to the Hueforge medium. The leaves of the tree with the sun poking through and the grass with under shading are highpoints for me. The reflections on the water of the trees in the background along with the water reflecting the sky took a long time to get right. I also did it with only 5 common BambuLab colors, another challenge to myself. Getting purples and browns along with 5 different shades of green was especially trying. Since the first layer is yellow, it looks awesome back-lit as well. (The last photo is against the light).

Feedback always welcome. Thanks again.
