Bambu Lab 3D Printers

“just saying, it’s here”

I had to get it as it’s the pinnacle of my 3D printing journey from my first wooden framed clone of a MakerBot printer way back in 2010ish. I’ll see how good it is soon…

It also occurs to me I’ll need to recalibrate all my filaments to compensate for the diamond flow rate…

How much!!! One thing puzzles me though, if the tip is a solid diamond insert, which is the “hardest material” on earth, what do you use to drill the 0.4mm hole through it… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Ah, so the nozzle is a synthetic Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) not the harder natural monocrystalline diamond. :+1:

Reworking some of my prints ready for the DiamondBack nozzle, it looks like there’s a need to work with all filament temperatures due to it’s higher thermal efficiency…

ASA printed as it’ll be exposed to UV in the summer…added a 12V cooling fan.

This is ongoing development which will now incorporates SpeedyBee flight controller for easier program test. it will eventually include a small brushless motor to simulate auto launch…
:point_down:



It’s now a case of when to dive in and calibrate all my filament, I used to use my fan assisted electric cooker but the element has came to end of life.

Looks like I’ll need to find the best filament dryer now…anyone on here with tried and tested recommendation?

the job.

There is also a twin spool one available

Both currently available from Amazon.
£53.00 for the single (15% off full price £63.00).

Just search “Creality Drier”.

“Just on YouTube watching reviews of various makes”

I have this one, not available at the mo on Amazon, it is good for my TPU as I can load straight from the dryer, there are loads of adaptions to print that help

I had seen 2 of these on eBay but have been sold now, I could wait or just order and get on with the mod… :point_down:

:thinking:

interesting - Bambu TPU (AMS compatible) being ‘too hard’ for the typical fpv usage

As soon as they announced it I knew it would be, and anyone that bought it would have realized as soon as they opened the reel.

I bought a 0.5Kg reel of 95 shore about 3 years ago and have got it down to half way, it’s great for wing hinges and RX mounts in fixed wing and Heli builds.

New H2D - was expecting the price to be at least double!

Bit overkill just for printing TPU FPV parts :rofl:

Don’t know where a 256x256x256 twin nozzle will fit nowadays when everyone else is going to multi tool changers

Might be interesting to try once but with the P2S I think I’d end up with more in the poop chute than on the bed…

Trying a 2-colour 10x10x10mm cube. Estimated print time 83 minutes. :grimacing:
