Great job yet again! One thing I noticed was that the detailed print settings PDF guide included is not included in the zip?
Love to hear it!!
I am really sorry I forgot to add it to the upload but I just fixed it. Thank you for telling me. Try downloading it one more time and now it should be there :)
There was a bit that printed with the water level indicator. Is it needed for anything?
No, that bit just makes sure that the tip has more cooldown time to be sharp and clean :)
I love your designs! Have you had any issues with water and PLA? Do you ever do any designs in PETG?
Thank you! If your settings are right you should not have issues with PLA and watertightnes. Thats why every download includes some watertight tips :)
I use PETG here and there but I like PLA more for aestethic reasons.
I love this! However, I wish it was thicker. That said, I do really like your designs because they don't use an entire roll of filament or take 20 hours to print. This does, however, it looses some of the aesthetic appeal, being paper-thin.
Thank you! That's just in spiral mode, the STL can also be printed way thicker in normal mode.
The 3MF included prints a 0,8mm wall, which is quite durable in my oppinion. If you want it thicker & still in print in vase mode: I recommend using a 0,8 mm nozzle, then set the outer wallwidth to 1,2m for the spiral print. Keep the layer height as low as possible. This will result in a strong and a quick print. 🙂
Hi, thanks for another great design. I printed the inner part at normal size with transparent PLA, and it came out perfect. I then tried to print another one at 125% with the same filament and settings, and it ended up with a long and very visible spiral-shaped seam all around the planter. Do you have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?
Edit: just tried it on another identical A1 Mini, same issue.
Hey, glad you like it!
Yes i know whats going on. This is some kind of weird bug with the Spiral mode in Orca & Bambu. You should even be able to see it in the slicer preview if you look close enough.
Fix: After you resize the model, right click it and select "simplify model", then select "Decimate ratio" and set it to something between 1-5%. This will make no difference in print quality but will force the slicer to take a slightly different travel path, which will get rid of your error line.
OK thanks, but I switched back from Bambu Studio 2.2 Beta 2 to the mainline version and the problem went away.
Thank you for the feedback, I'll also keep that in mind in case someone has the same problem.
If you get somekind of "non-manifold" error after that, just press the recommended "fix model" button.
I hope they fix spiral mode in the upcoming Bambu patches, I've seen a few other bugs like that recently.
