Bro, just get yourself an A1! Bambu labs is really done a good job. I’ve modded ender 3, 5’s I had my fun but now I’m having a lot more fun just printing what I want when I want without having to tinker as much.
@@dougdoesstuff24 I second @LarryBerg 10000% !! I used to tinker with an Ender3 style printer (Eryone ER20). Replacing the extruder with a highend one and flashing it with Klipper improved things quite a bit but still, always tinkering without ever getting anything completely clean and fast... I finally got an A1, and WOW !! It's just another world. Every print is clean, it prints fast (3h15 for a 8x8 plate), it's as close to automatic as it can be... you really should take the leap. Honestly, I nearly didn't ever print anything useful with my previous printer, because I feared how much I would have to tinker to get a good result. Now I can't stop printing, everything I find interesting and useful. I just download the file, check some general settings (usually defaults are OK), hit print, and use it. Bambu Lab did a wonderful job on this printer, especially at this price point of 350€.
@@dougdoesstuff24 I'll second that. Bambu Lab really has made jumping into 3d printing much more accessible. Within minutes of unboxing my unit, I had a flawless benchy. So far, the only major frustration I've had has been trying to deal with setting up Sunlu TPU. Once I finally got it all worked out, it's printing great as well.
12:12 I had some issues with stringing with CC3D filament. At first I thought it was because I had just transitioned from Cura slicer to Orca slicer. Printing from Cura yielded the same results. Digging around in Orca, I came across filament settings. I looked up the specs and settings for the CC3D filament and dialed that in. Let me tell you, it made the world of difference. I see plenty of videos on dialing printer settings which does apply to filaments to some extent. But in my research, different filaments can require different tweaks such as extrusion rate. I’m averaging about two multiboard tiles every other day, so I understand just wanting to be done and on to the next project. Hopefully you’ll be done soon. Best regards.
Best thing I did for bed adhesion is get a dipped plate, either sliceworx in the US or KDEAVI from aliexpress, things just stick! Coming from an Ender 3 with a glass bed and lifted corner after lifted corner, I won't be going back!
If I was in your place. I would go ahead and bite the bullet and buy the $299 5M FlashForge 3D printer and be done with it. Way way faster print speeds and well worth the money. Buy once cry once. You only need to buy it once, and then you have something good to use from now on.
@@dougdoesstuff24 I hear ya. You would be glad you did. But I understand. I'm printing a sheet of single, double, and quad 8mm screw mounts on my K1 max and a sheet of small threaded screw mounts on my ender 3 v2 neo as I'm typing. Got T bolts on file ready to start as soon as one of them is finished. I love the multiboard stuff. I was looking at the community build post a while ago for some shelf mount inspiration. Lol. I got so much planned out.
@@dougdoesstuff24 I definitely sympathize with wanting to get it good off the plate. There's also something to be said for taking what's realistically acceptable so one can move on with the overall project. I just finished an extremely frustrating project (finished for now) that I ultimately chose to accept the cosmetic defects in the first 1/6th of the project and use each next piece to refine. I'd already wasted too much filament. Keep up the great work and best of luck!

I'm a stubborn old goat.... But I might get there sooner than later

Yeah. I moved from creality (3v3se and 3v2) to bambu labs (A1) and haven't looked back.

I ran 207 nozzle and 60 bed at 50 print speed and had great results. You can use a pocket torch after to take care of the stringing

I'm in too deep at this point :(

Use a hot air gun to get rid of the strings and everything else on your finished parts. 73
I did read that elsewhere, but I want it to be good out of the gate :)
