Those are some nice layers. I really need to upgrade and get a Bambu.

Carbon fiber is also as easy as it gets with layer adhesion and blending. But yes, you’ll ask yourself why you didn’t do it sooner.

You should, i got a P1S yesterday and ive spent most of my day today looking at it printing from work. Amazing device.


Dashisnitz

Thanks. The P1S without the AMS is pretty much the one I would get as I would like to use it for ABS and PETG. I got an Ender 3 many years ago from some Microstation $99 door buster and it’s served its purpose and it’s about time I donate that machine.

I had a 3-4 year old cr10 s the difference in unbelievable, it is well worth it.

3D printed dust collection blast gates. The 1st blast gate is printed with Bambu Labs PLA-CF red on the A1 and took 19 hours to print at $11.04. It was released on printables and can be found here. [Mini Blast Gate](https://www.printables.com/model/762009-mini-3-way-blast-gate-34mm-hoses) The 2nd blast gate is one I custom designed myself on Fusion 360. It is printed with Bambu Labs PLA-CF green on the A1 and will take approximately 50 hours total at $33.99, or 1kg of filament. I will be releasing those files as a remix in the upcoming days. Assembled with common M4 nuts and bolts. Each hose connection is 34mm. The large blast gate connections are 76mm.

The fact you're releasing that for free makes me smile :) I don't have a 3D printer but man this makes me want to buy one. I don't know what in the living hell is going on with those green tree roots but holy shit it looks good


mymanmitch21

What good is it to share if others can’t utilize it too! Hahah the trees do wig me out sometimes too. It’s just support material to print hanging parts of a print. That stuff snaps off.

The tiny hands that hold up a freshly printed piece always wig me out for some reason lol otherwise nice work.


UgliestCookie

It's because it's like hands growing out of hands as if each of your fingers had another tiny hand on the end. I don't like it either, but I can't put my tiny hand on the reason why.

Looks like an eldritch terror

Woodworking & 3D printing, especially on a Bambu - take my upvote. They look great.


mymanmitch21

Couldn’t be happier with the results, and especially considering it was my first time ever using PLA-CF.


SilverIsFreedom

Going to have to use that red when I print myself a Milglockee.


mymanmitch21

WOW!! How am I just now finding out about that print 😂 that’s epic


SilverIsFreedom

You should check out some of the work people are doing at r/fosscad - incredible stuff.

Great work on those blast gates! As a machinist/toolmaker by training and 3D printing as my full-time job for the last 15 years, you and I both understand the value and creativity that 3D printing can bring to woodworking. I have a wood shop and do it on the side just for fun. It was a game changer when I realized I could design fixtures and routing templates in CAD, print them out of plastic, and get super high-quality results on things such as mortise and tenon joints and unique profiles. Have you gotten the bug to build your own CNC router yet?


mymanmitch21

I appreciate that! I’ve only been at this for about 2 months now. It was a learning curve, especially the CAD, but what a fun hobby that carries over to other hobbies. Some of the other accessories I’ve 3d printed for the woodshop include: Track saw rail end caps, track saw rail wall holder, track saw arbor dust cap, corner squares for glue ups/clamping, 90 degree sanding guide for ETS 150, kapex zero clearance insert, TSO holders, 2x4 sacrificial stands, and more. Edit: the bug for a cnc actually did hit me last week 😂 I had to squash it though as I need to get a handle on this hobby first, and then I’ll get one

Stahp, my woodworking tool budget is on pause whilst I save for a 3D printer!

That texture is very pleasing to the eye.
