My first 3D printer

[usclassic]

so after years of thinking about getting a 3D printer I finally found a deal that got me to pull the trigger. This one claims beginner friendly, easy 10 minute set up out of the box and auto leveling.

Under $200 with code I finally will enter the 3D print rabbit hole.

Nice! I bought a Bambu Mini A1 two winters ago and have been wanting to upgrade since about a week with it. I’ve been making due with splitting bigger pieces but that doesn’t work with everything. I mostly print functional things but I recently printed this piece of nostalgia up.

Well it arrived today and set up was straightforward, wifi, apps, connections, all good. sending print instructions and monitoring all wireless. Watching the first prints, very cool and the quality of the prints is impressive. They do not feel like a cheap toy at all. Slicer learning curve next up.

It is fantastic to watch it work. Easy set up to get going and huge potential to learn more about the process. Really a bargain for this machine to get into the hobby. Made a fidget toy a 15 minute print I really enjoyed watching while having my morning coffee. mesmerizing machine.

Morning coffee saw some more 3D printing and two filament color changes. Made some box openers, phone holder, concave dodecahedron, and another boat.

Started printing a shipping container with a sliding lid to mount on the radwagon 5 for storage. Also made a few gifts, Jeep keychain and Ford wall art for my step sons.

This is my biggest print so far the container about 2 1/2 hours to print (still going) then the lid is a separate print.

Cargo container turned out nice but it won't be going on the Radwagon 5 as I have some other options inbound for it.
