Behold, my first ever 3D printed object

Is art your full-time job or is just a gift you were given.

i print a 3d object every morning after my coffee

Technically it only counts if you stare intently at a three dimensional object while you do it and attempt to replicate it.
Now I imagine someone shifting left to right and front to back in their toilet seat…. Thanks for the picture.
You don't save your 3d printed object for work?
I actually put the sticker that came with a filamentum delivery ("extruding the future") on my toilet tank. It's right behind me right now.

Oh wait, the spaghetti monster is attacking...

Can you share the STL please? And is it a print in place or does it require glue for assembly? 😋

Looks like they used their hand as the build plate.

It's glorious! Welcome to the team.

You know, everyone I see uses that tug boat print for their calibration, but what you made here was far more intricate and beneficial.

How did tug boat become the standard test print? Wouldnt car or eifel tower have the same curves/arches/height for all the test things?
- The short answer is someone designed it specifically to demonstrate calibration across different printing conditions and it took off in no small part because it's cute and can serve as a filament sample.
- Nobody knows.
  
  JK
  
  I think it's because Benchy has a crazy amount of changing surfaces and is easily printable with or without supports, scales better, and doesn't take terribly long to print.
- The answer isn't glamorous, "because someone made it, and it works well."
  
  Also the "3DBenchy_Broschure_3DBenchy.pdf" file it comes with is helpful.

Nice, I've always wanted one of those

Send me the STL file please

It's small, but with a bit imagination...

Man...I feel old now why... Great movie thought.

You chose an excellent printer to start with.

Which is it? I was just admiring how solid the construction looks.

Edit: A1 mini? Interesting design and I had no idea how affordable they were...
- Yep, I just bought one as my 2nd printer. Super pleased with it. Definitely among the best $200 I've ever spent.
I’m really wanting to get a Bamboo Labs printer. I have an Ender and I honestly stopped using it because it took way longer to setup the printer than I spent printing. Whereas I believe Bamboo printers are in a state where it’s plug in and print.
- EXACTLY my situation. Had an ender 3 pro, modded that thing a lot, bought an A1 with AMS. Now i can't even imagine going back to the ender.
- To be fair I have had to do some maintenance on my A1 mini. You have to lube up your Y axis. 😉
- I bought a Mini with AMS last month to add along side my old Mk3s+. It's faster, (though not that much faster in the end), and the AMS works very well. And it was easy to setup and get running.
  
  But it has had some basic design issues that need attention, (for which there are community fixes you can find). And even after careful tuning, it really isn't any better than the Mk3s for print quality. It's just easier to print in color if you choose to be wasteful with filament. Like I am doing right now.
  
  Coming from an Ender, it will be an upgrade though. I do think the the A1 series is a good inexpensive home use printer though.
I bought a 3d printer in 2015 and it took me probably a month of screwing with it after work and on weekends to get to the point that I could make decent things with it. My brother bought one of these last year and was sending me pictures of shit he made the same day he started. I was was a bit jealous.
- Ya Bambu is the way to go rn

It's a lovely ear ring! 😍

good start to your new collection of abstract art

Getting r/amightyharvest vibes.

Congrats, I just printed the same thing in green as my first print.

You two need to get together and enjoy the Christmas vibes!
