Wanted to show off this print (and test the NSFW tag on Lemmy)
Printed this model recently, it took 60 hours! 7 colors (8 including support filament) on Bambu X1C with 2x AMS. 0.1mm layer height, every single layer had like at least 3 color changes.
If I had to do it again I probably wouldn’t do it multicolor lol - single-color test prints only took about 6 hours.
Yeah I’m going to chalk that up to a “feature” lol
I’m on an iPad, when I selected the pic from my gallery it was oriented properly - but when I posted it was rotated.
(Yes, I saw it was rotated before hitting Submit - but to correct that I would’ve had to rotate it in my Photos App, which means that it would’ve been rotated incorrectly there instead of here. 🤷♂️ This is why we test!)
Thank you! I was having spool jams a few times during the day, so I was a little freaked each time I went to bed - thankfully, no jams at night 🙌
I also wish the resolution on his head/face was a little better, especially at 0.1, but with how many color changes per layer the whole piece took I’m not surprised.
I’m also pretty sure I could’ve sped the print up a bit with a faster infill speed, but with all the color changes on every single layer it probably wouldn’t have mattered much.
How are you liking the X1C so far? It's an appealing printer for sure and it's exciting that companies are releasing more and more capable printers with each day. I might consider getting one of these (or something similar with multi color) at some point in the future if I can ever justify having a second printer.
I filled - FILLED - a 2.5 gallon trash can with the poop. 3-5 color changes per layer, ~1000 layers… yeah. There were maybe 30 layers that had no spool changes (the middle of the blue shirt, between the arms).
Fuuuuuu... This is what keeps me from solutions like the AMS. That is a lot of waste. I feel bad when I have to reprint a failed print. It looks great though, not gonna lie. But I think I'll stick with single colour in 1/10 of the time and then take some hours to paint.
