Day 4 of 6 printing in 12 colors

Testing a long 3D print on the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon with 3 AMS units and the hub. We're halfway through. All pieces looking good so far. Lots of filament poop piling up.

I hope you get one of those filament making machines at some point, it'll be really interesting to watch that

Something, Something, eggs in one basket. I would never risk that many failures at one time personally. Nerves of steel with this print.

You can reduce waste drastically by making a spare model and increasing the infill and using it as flush. Also with using the model as flush I haven't had any problems with bleeding with leaving the purge settings set at 280 across the board. Onlything I've notice is on certain models I made need to increase the walls so colors/infill doesn't show/effect the shade or how the white looks

You better have one of those filament recyclers. Waiting to see your DIY Filament video. Lol

We really need your Hotend swapping mechanism to become the norm... It would really allow for more economical multicolor prints. For now, pretty much design my stuff to change color at the top or bottom layers

Should take all the scraps and put them into a filament machine and turn it into a new spool 😆 itd be cool to see a machine that has that integrated and when it puts a certain amount of waste in it turns on and makes filament

Ooo.. The green "cut the rope" monster... Miss that one the nostalgia hit 😅

[Faewks]

Thanks for showing the "poop" :)
And good luck for the rest of the print!

I'm happy people still remember omnom😊

[linkin]

:0 I SEEE OM NOM!
THE GREEN BLOB LIKE GUY
AHH

Would be great to compare the amount of waste between the AMS and MMU3

[ianmercer]

Me over here with my ender 3 that can barely print in one color sometimes looking at awe at your prints 🤩

[owencraig]

hows the black doing? run out yet? (btw the prints look great!)

[Gibsonnnnn]

"supaman" I love your accent

[Guapogiboy]

This is so exciting. I have a question, see the Superman figure? See that noticeable line just at the tip of his “S” on his suit? What causes that? I have an ender 3 and I find that randomly appears on my prints and very annoying. I thought it was the Z axis binding so I flipped it around but I still get it. Any advice?

[lesdeuxtchoupi]

In the bambulab slicer you should be able to reduce the amount of filament that it extrude each time it changes color you should do that you’ll waste so much less filament

[henhunfer]

We're all 3D printers. Except the only filament colour we get is brown.

"The prints are looking good so far . . . SUPERMAN"

[brokentoast]

I love how the stuff that comes out the back of the machine is just universally known as poop by all 3D printing channels

[krasspenn]

Fill that material in resin then turn it on a lathe would make for some interesting creations.
