Bambu Lab's 3D effects print and finish outcome.

Printing on the different 3D effects sheets from Bambu Lab's. Diamond, Starry, Galaxy, and Carbon Fiber.
I always do a first time wash with dish soap and hot water prior to first use. After that initial wash, I just wipe the plates using alcohol 90% or higher before and between prints.
Filaments used:
A1: Red PLA Basic from Bambu Lab.
P1S: Black PLA Plus from Elego

Do you pick smooth plate in the slicer?

[@CarlexDIY]

Yes, select smooth PEI/ High temp

[@thatcanadianguy3327]

so will these eventually stop transfering the patterns over time, especially with the glitter I just figured it takes some of it off each use but I could be wrong

[@lookitsahorner]

I think they probably will, but not because glitter. I believe these are micro-etched plastics which cause light refractions

[@shanold7681]

Its a pattern that reflects light to make what you see so its not transferring anything its just the plastic melts into the pattern. same as the bumpy look with the textured PEI sheets, Just much smaller. should last until something damages that pattern.

@@shanold7681 oh thats cool thanks for the information I was thinking of printing some of those 3d art panels since they cost about 100 bucks for 12 here and with the diamond pattern I would just make flat panels with some texture to make it pop

[@CarlexDIY]

It does start to fade/wear out over time if you always print in the same spot. It's recommended to move your prints around to avoid wearing it out. Also, it's best to let it cool down before you remove print, it could damage the surface if you yank the print off.

[@thatcanadianguy3327]

@@CarlexDIY gotcha yeah that makes sense and its easy enough to move the print around

[@DrewPrimo]

Is that a 2nd AMS lite installed?!

[@CarlexDIY]

I wish. No, it's only 1 AMS lite and the A1 and mini can only work with 1 Lite. Unlike the X1or P1 that can connect multi AMS units.

Hi.
Would you do using the H1H Light Beam one?
Thanks.

[@CarlexDIY]

Those plates look nice but I don't currently own any H1H Light Beam plates to try it out. I will, if and when I do get it.

[@mikekiske]

@@CarlexDIY Great. It would be awesome. Thanks.
