3D PRINTING

After "growing up" with Cura and my primary for years, I didn't like Bambu Studio initially. Had to learn it bc at the time there was no other option for a Bambu printer.
Its really grown on me and now I like it better. Its not quite as flexible but damn if it doesn't work well.

MatterControl ftw.

Pretty sure it doesn't support Bambu AMS etc.
My options for slicers are pretty limited

Well chit. It's my go to on my CR-10 and my little one as well.
 
Jack has been eating something dead in the woods and throws up every night now, so I printed a sign.

Well my printer took a giant :poop:. Was printing a 2a lower that was around 15hrs. Went to sleep with it rolling right along around 60% done and woke up to a frozen printer/touchscreen and an error message of "Hotend NTC Abnormal". Printer will power up/down but always displays the message. Took the print head apart and determined that the control board in the head is bad. Ordered a new one through Anycubic at $30 and now I'm waiting on shipping.

I did get my workspace sorted so I have room to expand/design/work on in the future.

This is pretty neat.

Dude was printing through the earthquake today and still got a perfect print!

How would someone go about getting some pieces of something copied? And then make the same piece with some slight modifications to it

Do you mean a thing you have in your hand, you want more of them?

Sometimes the thing can be 3d scanned. That process can end up being anywhere from really fast to a huge pain in the ass, depending largely on the complexity of the object and the scanning method.

As for moficiations,... that really depends. If its scanned then what you end up with is a single mesh "object" that isn't easy to modify in CAD... but depending on teh shape and such, there ARE ways.

the proper way is of course to go to teh source that made it and ask for more of them :D :flipoff2:

Ive emailed the company without a response so far.
Then id like to be able to use a 15 or 25 rd mag with it as well but would require some modifications to the piece as it clips onto the 10 rd mag at the bottom now.

yeah... you're pretty much looking at a redesign. You could 3d scan it to get the dimensions and whatnot for fit, but after that its a CAD project.
