How to Turn an SVG into a 3D Print!

In this video I show you how to transform an SVG file into a 3D model, perfect for printing with a Bambu 3D Printer equipped with an AMS. I'll start by walking you through Inkscape, a free tool that I use to edit the SVG image. Next, I'll take you through the steps of converting your image into a 3D model in Tinkercad. But the fun doesn’t stop there! I'll also guide you through the Bambu Studio slicer, where we'll add the final touches and colors to your model. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have all the skills you need to create your own 3D prints with ease and confidence. This video is great for anyone starting out in 3D printing or looking to improve their skills!

Thank you for making another easy to follow tutorial. I feel like alot of other creator videos show the steps/clicks too quickly, but your pacing is Just Right!

I just bought my first 3D printer (Bambu A1), and your tutorials have REALLY helped me get up and running!

Thank you! That last part with showing how to break it into parts is a lifesaver! Subscribed!

Great video but when I imported an SVG image it is just 1 object, not individual things that I can change colour of.
What to do now?

[Wilburforcecms]

Love it. Was able to follow along with my personal design. In bamboo studios how to you make only the 1st and second layer colored. I only need the design on one side and I dont want to have multiple filament changes through many layers.

Any chance on making a video for printers without an AMS feature? I have an Ender-3 and will love to learn how to do this multicolor printing with one extruder. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for this! I am a newbie and have been looking for this exact tutorial. I have a ton of svg’s and would love to 3D print them.

Finally a good inkscape tutorial! thanks!

[darlenesmith]

Excellent tutorial as always. I'm going to scan through your other videos as I am trying to figure out how to take an SVG for sewing patterns and add dovetail joints and make templates to use when cutting out the pattern.

You do such a great job. Your videos are always so solid and the effort you put in is awesome.

Hi. I'm from Brazil and I spent a long time looking for something like that. Thanks a lot for this class! Nice Christmas!

I’ve been looking for a video like this for ages!!!! All questions answered in one vid. Brilliant. 🎉

Thank you for this great video, it was very informative...I had gotten an Ankermake M5 3D printer before Xmas 2023 and then after Xmas I purchased a Bambu Lab A1. I love the Bambu A1 because I can print in different colors and the videos that you make along with me just playing around with Bambu Studio have taught me stuff I didn't know and stuff I kind of know got me to understand it better so my printing and knowledge has gotten better. I love the Bambu printer, I like the Ankermake M5 printer but it gives me trouble each time trying to feed the filament in. It didn't at first but maybe after 10 prints it constantly gets stuck and I have to keep taking it apart. I had purchased a new all-metal hotend for it so maybe that will help and too there is filament stuck in it that can't get it out, so we'll see how that goes. I should be looking to change that out within the next couple weeks. But thanks for your videos. They are awesome! If you have a video or if you can make one about making your own pre-sets according to the generic filaments and to different projects, so if you select a certain project, the presets would be available for the pre sets you make concerning different company and color filament and type....instead of selecting generic and have to reset it all the time....

Sweet video, my doughter love it, can you share the pinguin stl???
Thank you.

[SgtMajor]

Could you please do a video on using colored layers where the base layer is 2mm and the layer above us 2mm on top or added to the first layer without the second layer being printed throughout the first layer. Just 2 layers on top of the other and different colors. I find this can be a difficult thing to achieve in bambu lab. Always getting warnings and both layers sticking to the bed instead of one on top of the other.

GREAT WORK MATE! YOU'RE THE BEST AND NOW I CAN 3d PRINT

[duaneflynn]

New to this space. Don't know how I found your channel. Thank You for the great tutorials.

[shpryc]

I tried to put svgs to bambu studio without thinkercad, but studio does poor job of reading them. Your method is simplest and the best, thans a lot!

[gigicarabano]

The answer to my prayers!!! Thank you so much!! I love the way you explain things.

[richarddumas]

Great video. Where did you get that svg file. I looked and could not find that one to follow along with you?
