General Information
The Bambu 3D Printer can be found inside the Clean Room.
The purpose of this page is to give a more in-depth look at the Bambu 3D Printer.
If you have any issues with Clean Room equipment, the slack channels associated with this space include: #general, ##general, #shop-3d-printing, and #shop-laser.
Orientation
Do not operate any power equipment if you are under the influence of anything, in a hurry, are tired, or are not feeling well.
Inspect the equipment before using it.
The Bambu 3D Printer has its own orientation, you can sign up for it by going to the main Berea Makerspace website.
One is equipped with the AMS system for multicolor / multimaterial
Build Volume: 256mm x 256mm x 256mm
Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
Materials Supported: PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, Nylon, TPU, Soluble Support Materials
Slicer Used: Bambu Studio
Filament
Material - PLA, PLA+, PETG
Please let us know if you'll be using PETG, or unlisted materials. A cold pull will need to be performed after use
A cold pull involves clearing out the hotter melting filament before using a colder melting filament. PLA is the most common used filament at the space, and has the lowest melting temp - any debris left after a PETG or similar print will not melt under PLA hotend temperatures. This generally requires preheating the hotend to the temp of the higher melting point material, passing PLA filament through, cooling the hot end below the PLA melt temp (ideally around 160c) and physically pulling out the filament.
This should remove extra filament that was remaining in the hot end before the procedure
This may need to be performed multiple times
If you are not comfortable doing this, please stick with PLA, or coordinate with Jess or another experienced printer in order to load and unload your filament
That said, please get comfortable doing this. I'm happy to help you the first time, or if there is an unexpected clog, but advanced filaments require you to be competent in this level of printer maintenance
Filament Size - 1.75mm
Brand - Most PLA and PETG available these days is of adequate quality. Amazonbasics, SUNLU, Hatchbox, Overture are my most purchased filaments
IIID Max is a great option if you're buying a lot. Free shipping and the lowest per kg prices right now
PushPlastic is my preferred vendor for large rolls. The filament spool holder I have available for the cr-10 max supports their rolls. Be wary, as the hole size for various vendors for 5kg+ spools can vary drastically.
Recommended 3D Modeling Software
TinkerCAD- Browser based, cloud-based, approachable for makers of all ages
Fusion 360- Cloud-based parametric 3d modeling software. Collaborative, powerful, free license available
LuBan- Has a number of fun features for scaling models to any size, lithographs, box making, extrusion, etc. We have a license for this software on-site, available on the PC located in the 3d Printing Area
