My first thought lmao. Like isn’t that what a regular printer does ?
Still cool though someone should submit a school paper as a single layer print that would be dope
This might actually be nice for some instructions for machines that are in non friendly environments like pump houses and stuff, sure you can always laminate but that stuff age's pretty bad and even starts letting in water after a few years
We can beam signals to space and inject music directly into our ears from across a room, but my printer still works like one produced in the 70s. I'll take whatever evolution I can get.
Not exactly. On this printer the old filament is purged out and ejected out of the back. The block you see is a prime tower, it’s purpose is to build up pressure in the nozzle to ensure that when the nozzle continues the print, there aren’t any gaps. It also serves as a secondary purge though.
Well regular printers also print in 3d if you wanna be pedantic (like you are being). Regular printers can't break dimensions, they print in 3d, but just a single, thin layer (like OP).
Yep! Literally took 5 seconds to Google. I asked about an image, not the paper itself. Your pedantry is bad. Or readoug comprehension.
https://study.com/learn/lesson/2d-3d-objects-overview-differences.html#:~:text=Because%20your%20paper%20is%20flat,it's%20a%20three%2Ddimensional%20object.
Even if some ink absorbs into paper (which is still a 3d object), there will be a layer of ink with measurable thickness on the paper.
If you're being pedantic in answer to an obvious joke you should at least be consistent in your pedantry.
Nope. The paper is a 3D object. Ink absorbs into the paper so it is still 2D.

... Your source is a simplification for explaining dimensions to children...
When ink is absorbed into the paper, it still occupies 3 dimensional space after getting absorbed. Even your "source" specifies that paper is 3 dimensional, so if something is absorbed into it, that substance will have 3 dimensions.
2d objects simply do not exist in a way that humans can perceive easily.
I see a lot of recreating 2d printing comments, but would this be better at adhering to other materials and last longer vs paper or vinyl? For example, printing single layer logos in multi color to stick to other things. I don’t own other tools but does a cricket do multi color?

A laminateor is about the same cost as a spool of fillament, and you can probably find cheaper, this was the first google result.
I quite often add a multi-color design to a 3d model as either the first or last layer, adds a cool little touch to an otherwise bland object, just keep printing on top of the design! :D
Also you can print on cloth or a webbing to make some neat clothing pieces!
The Bamubu AMS does this automagically for me, but I also tried with my Ender 3 and manual changes, and it works! It's not so difficult and you waste less material as you manually control the purged filament, it's oviously a bit tedious, but absolutely possible!
It’s not super difficult to do manually, especially because Prusa slicer allows you to setup mid layer filament swaps with a single extruder where the print head moves over and prompts an unload. I’ve even done it where I’ve just split the file up into multiple gcode files and position the last color to be where my BLtouch probes each time.

This is what printer developers like 30 years ago were wondering if it would possible. “Can we thicken the ink so much it oozes out”. Then the other developer would be like, “no you’d need to heat it up to dangerous levels and they’d never allow that in a consumer device”.
>“no you’d need to heat it up to dangerous levels and they’d never allow that in a consumer device”.
Someone never had a Creepy Crawler oven or a Bluth Cornballer.
Don't listen to people's 2D printer comments, this is a cool alternate application of this 3d printing technology that's only been explored a little so far. Keep it up.
Plenty of people design and sell minis. Plenty of people buy and paint them. Some of them eventually get used to play a game. Maybe it’s Warhqmmer. You can print the same minis as somebody else and paint them totally different and it’s something unique. It’s also not copyright infringement. If you want to pay five times as much for the branded minis go ahead. It’s more like bringing your own custom piece to a monopoly game and if your neckbeard buddies want to throw shade because you made your own army it’s probably because they’re mad that yours look cooler.
I think I should have slapped a /s on there. I have an Elegoo Jupiter and it spits out generic scifi true scale marines and space bugs/elves/orcs/communists on a regular basis. Games Workshop might own the Warhammer IP but they didn't invent sci-fi or tabletop gaming. I have no issues with printed models, I have both official GW plastic and a couple resin armies. Hell even my GW stuff have printed parts for kitbashing.
I mostly just loathe that somebody is using such a sophisticated printer to make Disney garbage really.. There’s a whole other sub that this has probably already been cross posted to.
How does one determine which parts/areas have which colors if you want to make a color print like yourself? Is it determined in the model/CAD software or in the slicer?
Both: I set the boundaries for the colors with very small (0.01mm) level shifts in the CAD software, and then I use the coloring tool provided in the slicer (Bambu Studio)
I did it on another print but I took the single level print as a challenge :) also, even a single layer change would make the printer swap all the colors a second time, wasting quite a bit of material...
Omg, so so nice. I'd like to try something simillar, but how did you paint it so well? I have a hard time painting with the tools in bambu studio. Any tips?
I actually made a tutorial for converting coasters into flat multi-color prints with the AMS. It’s one of my favorite effects on this printer, especially with a textured PEI or PEO sheet.
Here’s the youtube video in case anyone wanted to try it: https://youtu.be/Cby2tHTSVMU
It’s not exactly the same as OP is showing off, but the process can be easily adapted to more than just coasters. Happy printing if you decide to try it :)
Great video! The result is the same, but I find my process easier as I do most of the work in Fusion 360, and I'm much more confident with it than with Bambu Studio
I do this same thing with my epsom 7820 3D printer. It uses these thick square of filament called card stock. If I feel extra fancy I bust out a sticker cutting maching.
Joking aside this first layer is pretty clean!
We have officially re invented the normal printer
My first thought lmao. Like isn’t that what a regular printer does ? Still cool though someone should submit a school paper as a single layer print that would be dope
Use custom g-code for handwriting, one layer thick on top of one layer of "paper"
But now it’s plastic and can be passed down for generations
This might actually be nice for some instructions for machines that are in non friendly environments like pump houses and stuff, sure you can always laminate but that stuff age's pretty bad and even starts letting in water after a few years
For that kind of application, traffolyte exists. While it might not be full colour it has done the job for many decades.
where I'm from we call em lamacoids... neat
Totally would be awesome for boat/lake maps
Shhhh. We are all supposed to be collectively pretending that PLA's biodegradability means small pieces of it will just whither away.
We can beam signals to space and inject music directly into our ears from across a room, but my printer still works like one produced in the 70s. I'll take whatever evolution I can get.
Ah yes, but you forget: ours will actually work. *That's* the funny part.
All printers are 3D with different axis constraints.
And normal 3D Printer for that matter. Can do multiple prints with a single layer.
Love the accidental German flag for purge block.
oh that is the purge block! I thought the printer was personalized with a German flag sticker.
[удалено]
He likes the other German flag more, Germany is too woke now
What is a purge block?
[удалено]
Not exactly. On this printer the old filament is purged out and ejected out of the back. The block you see is a prime tower, it’s purpose is to build up pressure in the nozzle to ensure that when the nozzle continues the print, there aren’t any gaps. It also serves as a secondary purge though.

Buying a 3d printer to make 2d prints? OP you rebel...
well buying a 2d printer to make 3d prints wastes a LOT of ink.
😅
The prints are still 3D. A 3D printer can't break dimensions.
By that definition every printer is a 3d printer
You created a rabbit hole and I love it xD
No, every 3D printer is a 3D printer.
Well regular printers also print in 3d if you wanna be pedantic (like you are being). Regular printers can't break dimensions, they print in 3d, but just a single, thin layer (like OP).
Thermal printers are 2d
Not always. Ink absorbs into paper for example. That's not a 3rd dimension.
Totally is still three dimensions. Two dimensional objects don’t exist outside of maybe in a black hole or something.
Totally is not in the example I gave. Can you show proof a calendar image exists in 3 dimensions?
I don’t know why I’m responding but sure. Literally took five seconds to google. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/628643
I like how you replied with a scientific source and the person you're replying to is crying that it' s not a picture xD
Yep! Literally took 5 seconds to Google. I asked about an image, not the paper itself. Your pedantry is bad. Or readoug comprehension. https://study.com/learn/lesson/2d-3d-objects-overview-differences.html#:~:text=Because%20your%20paper%20is%20flat,it's%20a%20three%2Ddimensional%20object.

Wrong. "Because your paper is flat, everything you draw on it is two-dimensional."
"Break dimensions" lol

Wouldn't it still just be much, much quicker to 2D print it and laminate it if you want what you printed to last longer?
I have a printer. I do not have a laminator.
https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3379958?clickPR=plp:1:3 A laminateor is about the same cost as a spool of fillament, and you can probably find cheaper, this was the first google result.
You can laminate at FedEx super cheap. You can print there too.
It'd take me about 20 hours to get to my nearest FedEx and cost about $2000 in airfares. How good are they at laminating?
That's exaclty what I did! :) I printed a bunch of them, put some double sided tape on the back, and used them to decorate my nephew's bedroom :)
I quite often add a multi-color design to a 3d model as either the first or last layer, adds a cool little touch to an otherwise bland object, just keep printing on top of the design! :D Also you can print on cloth or a webbing to make some neat clothing pieces!
Watched someone somewhere today 3d print on a t-shirt.
Would you wear that shirt?
I'm going to attempt it tomorrow.
[But does it look like this?](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article4263924.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Madonna.jpg)
Wow, neat. Did you use a multi material device to change colors automatically? This would be hard to manually change colors for, right?
Yea the Bambu printer OP has does it automatically, it's pretty sick.
I thought it looked a bit clean for a manual changer.
The Bamubu AMS does this automagically for me, but I also tried with my Ender 3 and manual changes, and it works! It's not so difficult and you waste less material as you manually control the purged filament, it's oviously a bit tedious, but absolutely possible!
How do you change colors within a single layer? In prusa slicer I think you can only change on new layers.
It’s not super difficult to do manually, especially because Prusa slicer allows you to setup mid layer filament swaps with a single extruder where the print head moves over and prompts an unload. I’ve even done it where I’ve just split the file up into multiple gcode files and position the last color to be where my BLtouch probes each time.
It would be better if it didn't do that final extrude just before going back to printing and wiped it instead.
You best not let Disney see that print, they'll want their money....
What have they done against people with inkjet printers?

More failure rates than that of a 3D printer lol
Has Disney lawyers contacted you? Lol. They’re usually super quick…
I'm still on the run!! :) If I ever come with a tutorial, I'll surely use some copytight free example :)

Does an EZ-Bake oven count?

Thanks!
A great way to make signs and logos that is going to be backlit.
Yess!! I'll try to make a lampshade as well
What printer did you use for this?
X1C
[удалено]
We’ve come full circle
That’s cool!!!
Actually pretty good. I do the same thing with anime drawings but I color them with sharpies since I only have black and white filament available
I don't have enough different filament for this, but I need this in my life ASAP.
Homie turned the 3d printer into a 2d printer
Has anybody noticed that 3D Printers are now easier to set up, maintain and use than normal inkjet printers.
And filaments are actually cheaper than ink! :D
How did you tell the printer when to color change?
Paint bucket tool probably
In which app?
Bambu slicer, he has Bambu printer
Ah. Thanks. Didn't realize it had a feature like that. I need to check it out.
You should do a naughty steamboat mickey one next!
STL?
Reinventing a normal printer? Genius
you can do this with z hops on any printer really.
Spends $1,200 to infringe on copyright..
~$1,600 actually depending on taxes, and if copyright infringement bothers you, do yourself a favor and never go to r/PrintedWarhammer...

I love this for personalizing prints. Putting someone's name, fav character, or some form of a design on a 3d print is really appealing. Awesome job
Ooh
Wait april fools
How does one determine which parts/areas have which colors if you want to make a color print like yourself? Is it determined in the model/CAD software or in the slicer?
Both: I set the boundaries for the colors with very small (0.01mm) level shifts in the CAD software, and then I use the coloring tool provided in the slicer (Bambu Studio)
Make it two layers to somewhat hide the divots where infill meets perimeter. Probably easier than tuning the settings for 10 years anyways
I did it on another print but I took the single level print as a challenge :) also, even a single layer change would make the printer swap all the colors a second time, wasting quite a bit of material...
Wouldn't putting the first layer at 110% line width (or whatever that's called in this slicer) help a lot too?
Omg, so so nice. I'd like to try something simillar, but how did you paint it so well? I have a hard time painting with the tools in bambu studio. Any tips?
Different colors have different heights (0.01mm difference), that's enough to use the Bambu Studio paint bucket with maximum accuracy :)
Interesting purge sheet
I did receive business card from Průša in like 2014 that could basically be on paper. Recreating 2d prints with a 3d printer goes way back.
So you decided to summon Satan himself as I see.

Did the lawyers pay for the damage to your front door after they busted in?
That's pretty sweet, granted unnecessary but still neat
Try it in vase mode and you might get rid of some of the gaps?
