    I just came across your channel! I like your setup and how your online presence is setup And you are licensing from model makers, so you're supporting them nicely! I've seen a lot of folks selling 3D prints online and most are not licensed. Its the wild west out there and I'm curious how you handle customers wanting stuff that's got some IP (Marvel, Star Wars, etc)

    Thanks for your videos, I have picked up some excellent tips from you. I have just started using a printer for prototyping my designs.
    Which Gorilla glue are you using to glue your printed parts together? I am using Bambu PLA for my models. Trying to figure out which glue is best 😊
    BTW: I moved from Adobe Illustrator to Affinity Design. It is a one time cost and really affordable. Helped reduce my monthly software cost.
    Thanks for sharing all your discoveries.

    I used to order the Bambu Matte black but I had complaints at how brittle it was. Sure enough, it's much weaker than non matte filaments. However, I still liked the look of the matte so I experimented a bit, I found that Sunlu filaments can be printed at 210c and they look matte, without losing strength. Give it a try if you have problems with the bambu matte. Also, PLA+ filaments print matte on the bambu printers.

      I keep my plate at 55 for bambu matte pla and it sticks well but not too much. If I don’t let it cool it’ll leave a film on the bottom but a blast of heat from the mini torch and it looks good again.

    I see you struggle with the 'right' color. I just picked up an X1C, with the intent of 3D printing window box layered SVGs primarily designed for papercraft (your recent wreath video set my mind in motion). The 6 to 18 layers using gradient / progression colors for the window box construction has me on the hunt for physical or digital color swatches. I've only been able to find the physical Bambu color swatches (but my local MicroCenter does not stock Bambu filament). How does a startup printer buy only the correct color - without buying every spool of every color by every brand?

    • @macymakes3d

    • @wscottcross4012
      @wscottcross4012 3 дні тому

      I was wondering the same. I have run a few cardboard spools through mine but some of the ones I purchased recently have damages rims and I'm worried they won't retract properly. They are ESUN spools and they have the notch so I was hoping they were the same as the Bambu Lab refill spools. I tore one apart and of course it has a smaller core so I can't use a reusable Bambu spool. I haven't had much luck with the spool adapters so far so I may have to look into respooling them.

    • @macymakes3d
