Oooh, 3D printed mole crap.
i print a 3d object every morning after my coffee
I actually put the sticker that came with a filamentum delivery ("extruding the future") on my toilet tank. It's right behind me right now.
Oh wait, the spaghetti monster is attacking...
You don't save your 3d printed object for work?
Technically it only counts if you stare intently at a three dimensional object while you do it and attempt to replicate it.
Now I imagine someone shifting left to right and front to back in their toilet seat…. Thanks for the picture.
Looks like a yummy meatball, it'll look great on your first spaghetti
Is art your full-time job or is just a gift you were given.
Fantastic non-orientable spring!
Congrats, I just printed the same thing in green as my first print.

You two need to get together and enjoy the Christmas vibes!
Can you share the STL please? And is it a print in place or does it require glue for assembly? 😋
Looks like they used their hand as the build plate.
Congrats. I never did anything like that!
You stole my design!
Send me the STL file please
You know, everyone I see uses that tug boat print for their calibration, but what you made here was far more intricate and beneficial.
How did tug boat become the standard test print? Wouldnt car or eifel tower have the same curves/arches/height for all the test things?
The short answer is someone designed it specifically to demonstrate calibration across different printing conditions and it took off in no small part because it's cute and can serve as a filament sample.
The answer isn't glamorous, "because someone made it, and it works well."
Also the "3DBenchy_Broschure_3DBenchy.pdf" file it comes with is helpful.
Nobody knows.
JK
I think it's because Benchy has a crazy amount of changing surfaces and is easily printable with or without supports, scales better, and doesn't take terribly long to print.
Nice, I've always wanted one of those
It's glorious! Welcome to the team.
Abstract 3d representations of Salvador Dali paintibgs. Such a bold vision for a first print. Bravo.
One of us! One of us! One of us!
What is it?
A squiggly
I'm gonna dub this print the Poopy.
think of it as a seed to grow an unhealthy obsession.
You chose an excellent printer to start with.
I bought a 3d printer in 2015 and it took me probably a month of screwing with it after work and on weekends to get to the point that I could make decent things with it. My brother bought one of these last year and was sending me pictures of shit he made the same day he started. I was was a bit jealous.
Ya Bambu is the way to go rn
I’m really wanting to get a Bamboo Labs printer. I have an Ender and I honestly stopped using it because it took way longer to setup the printer than I spent printing. Whereas I believe Bamboo printers are in a state where it’s plug in and print.
I bought a Mini with AMS last month to add along side my old Mk3s+. It's faster, (though not that much faster in the end), and the AMS works very well. And it was easy to setup and get running.
But it has had some basic design issues that need attention, (for which there are community fixes you can find). And even after careful tuning, it really isn't any better than the Mk3s for print quality. It's just easier to print in color if you choose to be wasteful with filament. Like I am doing right now.
Coming from an Ender, it will be an upgrade though. I do think the the A1 series is a good inexpensive home use printer though.
EXACTLY my situation. Had an ender 3 pro, modded that thing a lot, bought an A1 with AMS. Now i can't even imagine going back to the ender.
I think the AMS is the only reason I'd go with an A1 - my modded V3 SE is a dream in its current iteration. Happily printing PETG / TPU currently with a spool of ABS-GF waiting for an enclosure to be finished.
The AMS is amazing. I just bought my 3rd and 4th when they had their black friday sale. Multicolor prints look soooo good and it's very reliable, unlike the MMU2 I had on my Prusa. Pretty soon I'm going to attempt to print some wheels (maybe ABS or PLA-CF) with some squishy TPU tires.

Which is it? I was just admiring how solid the construction looks.
Edit: A1 mini? Interesting design and I had no idea how affordable they were...

good start to your new collection of abstract art
Getting r/amightyharvest vibes.
May I name this piece of art? From now on let’s call it:
„The sourcecode“
It reminds me of the spaghetti code I create at work 😁
It's a lovely ear ring! 😍
Typical novice. Wasting tons of plastic on their first print.
Its beautiful
