Jk not really, but maybe in the future? It's been over a month since my last post and that's because of these two projects. I've been more focused on creating custom wheels, so the car hasn't gotten much attention. I've only updated the fenders and doors so far. At this pace, I'm building only one car a year lol.
But, 3d printing has been a huge learning process. More than I've ever anticipated. There are so many factors to getting your prints perfect. I think the most difficult part is getting it from 90% to 100%. When making the wheels, I went through a ton of prototypes by trial and error. That included making changes in the slicing software and even in the model itself. It's gotten frustrating at times and I would say I've gotten to 90% in the quality I'm looking for. So, here are some tips/learnings I took away, which hopefully can help you as well.
1. Turn on Z/Elephant Foot Compensation: For some reason, it's default at 0 for this A1 Mini, but on the other Bambu printers, it's 0.15.
2. Max 45 degree overhangs: You can go a little higher, but 45 degrees is a safe spot. I had to go back to my model and make this change after learning you can't print 90 degree overhangs.
3. Wall thickness should be at least twice your nozzle size: If you use the default 0.4 nozzle, the walls of your model should be at least 0.8 thick. This means your printer will make 2 lines, which adds strength. A single 0.4 wall is too thin. A 0.2 nozzle might be better to create a 0.4 wall, but I will have to try that out in the future.
There's so much more, but I'll leave it here with a sneak peek in the second pic. I just did a full photoshoot, so I have a lot of posts coming, stay tuned!
