Really glad it was helpful! That's my aim is to be a usful resourse. I'm currently working on the successor to this video which covers all the features unlocked with the 'Advanced' tab ticked on, but I've got lots of other shorter 'feature specific' videos coming out in the meantime. Happy printing!

Why are you a beginner?

Thank you very much Mark, I'm really glad you found it useful! I've got plenty more videos for you to move onto and lots more on the way. I'm a lways here if you have any problems! Happy printing.

Welcome to 3D printing! Really glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps. Once you've got the hang of what I cover in this tutorial you may want to check out my Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial, before you move onto some of my more feature specific videos. Happy printing!

Really glad it was helpful, thanks so much for the comment and subscribing. Hope my other existing videos and those still to come will be useful and/or entertaining for you.

It's comments like this that absolutely make my day, thank you so much! I'm so glad you found the video useful and hopefully you'll continue to find other videos in my growing catalogue of tutorials and explorations useful and interesting. Welcome to the exciting world of 3D printing!

@@3DRevolution I’m definitely going to be going through your other videos, I did my first test with supports last night and found that they were impossible to take off, this was with a preset somebody posted so now gotta do research on how to make those easy to come off!

Really glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting, hope you find my other videos and tutorials interesting and useful. Happy printing.

Thanks very much, glad it's helpful. Plenty of other tutorials on my channel and plenty more to come. You'll love your P1S. Happy printing

Really glad it was helpful, and thank you very much! I'm always here if you need help, happy printing!

Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear about the fire incident, I hope you managed to extinguish it before it got too out of hand? Thank you so much for your comment, these honestly mean so much to me and are what keeps me going here. I'm really glad the video helped, and thanks for the sub. Happy printing!

Really glad it was helpful! Thanks for commenting, happy printing!

Hi Ron, I'll absolutely take your suggestions into consideration for future videos, thank you for taking the time to get in touch. Exciting news on your P1S Combo, you're going to love it! Let me know if I can ever help in the future. Happy printing!

Encouraging to see another 78yo starting out … I hope all went well for your p1s … I am way behind starting out with A1 mini .

Hey thanks for the comment, really glad you like the style of the video. I've got lots of new videos (both software and hardware tutorials), and also have an A1 arriving shortly myself so expect some A1 specific tutorials soon. Happy printing.

Glad it was helpful! Happy printing!

You're very welcome Steve, really glad it was helpful. Happy printing!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much!

Welcome to the exciting world of 3D printint! Time to take your creations and bring them into the real world!

Really glad it was helpful. I've got lots more to come including the Bambu Studio Advanced Tutorial which will cover all of the features unlocked by the Advanced toggle switch.

oh yes , the second thing, this might be dumb question but, I cant find an option to change the size of the menues ,I mean when I press slice ,between the process menue ( it takes one third of the screen) and the stats(takes the other third ) ,I can hardly see the model , can you help me with that ?

Really glad you enjoyed it, hope it helped. My sequel to his covering all the advanced features came out on Friday, and got tons more on the way. Happy printing!

Exciting times Bruce, and quite a rare path you're taking. I feel most people in the world of 3D printing venture into FDM first before SLA so I'm sure you'll be entering this district of the maker kingdom with some fascinating and different perspectives. Look forward to seing what you create. Glad you're finding my videos useful, got plenty more on the way. Thanks for commenting, stay in touch, and happy printing!

You are so welcome! Really glad it could help. Plenty more videos already on my channel that may be of help to you and loads more on the way. Happy printing!

Hey really glad it was helpful. Got lots more Bambu Studio tutorials on the way, including the sequel to this one going through all the advanced features. Thanks for commenting, and happy printing!

This comment made my day, really glad it helped. Thanks a lot for the feedback, plenty more on the way. Happy new years, and happy printing!

Really glad you liked it! Hope you like the advanced one. That and a whole load of others are already online and plenty more on the way!

Fantastic! Welcome to the exciting world of 3D Printing! I'm always around if you need any help, have a ton of videos and tutorials all ready to work through, and plenty more on the way.

@3DRevolution I appreciate that. I was always asking a friend for stuff and decided to take the plunge. I have a 3yo obsessed with trains and my wife and I play and upgrade board games so I'll use it a bunch.

@@joshuagregoire7410 I just got my p1p a fortnight ago. fantastic printer and this tutorial helped soo much. If you are like me you will not regret it

Thanks very much, looking forward to finishing it off and bringing it out. Got a few others already lined up but the advanced tutorial is well under production.

Absolutely true. I actually recently published a video specifically covering print by object where I explain the advantages and limitations Thanks for posting here, the community offering help to each other is so important! Happy printing!

You're very welcome, really glad it was helpful! Thanks for the sub, and happy printing!

Really glad it was helpful! Happy printing.

You're very welcome Chris. Thanks very much, really glad it helped. I've got plenty of other tutorials already up, once you've finished with this one you may like to take a look at the Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial. Lot's more on the way. Thanks again, and happy printing!

Hey, really glad you liked the video and thanks for the sub, welcome to the 3D revolution! You're very welcome, it always makes me happy to see people find my presentation and teaching methods helpful. Always here to help if you have any questions. All the best, happy printing!

Glad it was helpful, thanks for the comment, and happy printing!

@@3DRevolution Oh this is way beyond "helpful" very far!!! Your content is just another level. Thanks again!

@@tinygreenturtle thanks very much, really nice to hear. Let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks very much, hope it helped!

Thanks very much for the feedback, really glad you liked it. I'm working on the Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial (the sequel to this one) at this very moment and that'll be published in the next week or two, but I've already got a number of other Bambu Studios tutorials on the channel, and more coming out in the coming days. I've got very long list of content I'm working on so it's not going to stop coming, and always here to help if you ever have any questions. Thanks again, and happy printing!

@@3DRevolution appreciate that and you a lot. A very considered approach to content creation, and that's wonderful to see. My YT algo is now pointing to all your videos, or could just be me lol. Very much looking forward to your Advanced tutorial as the longer form content is my personal preference, funny enough they still get my repeat watches, especially when timestamped so brilliantly like in this one. Thanks again, happy creating! :)

Haha glad it was helpful

Thanks very much! Much appreciated!

Haha glad you liked it. Plenty more to come!

You're very welcome!

Really glad it's helpful! Once you've got the grips with what I cover in this video, move onto my Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial, and then you can checkout all my feature specific videos and more! Happy printing!

Fantastic! You'll love it!

Thanks very much. Ciao!

Thanks very much, glad you liked it. Good luck with your P1S, you'll love it!

So looking forward to it. I started 3d printing about a year ago and bought a couple of ender-3v3se printers and have learned a lot from these printer’s including with your tutorials on the prusaslicer. Now looking to print in color with AMS without doing manual filament swaps. Again, thanks for all your tips!

I'm really glad it was helpful, once you feel ready to progress, I've got lots more including the advanced sequel to this specific video. I'm glad to know my video was helpful to you even though English isn't your first language. May I ask what your native language is? It's good to know my audience outside of just Google analytics for making my content as accessible as possible in the future.

@@3DRevolution My native language is Dutch and though my English is not bad it is hard to follow all the technical things. You however speak very articulated and not to fast and that helps me understanding it. I certainly will progress with your other Bambu Studio video's. Once more, thank you for your work.

Glad you liked it and found it useful! Happy printing!

Really glad you found it helpful! If you fancy learning more, I've got plenty more for you to sink your teeth into already and lots of new ones on the way. Let me know if you're ever stuck. Thanks for watching, and happy printing!

You're very welcome, hope it helped. I've got plenty more videos you may like to check out when you feel you've mastered what was covered here, including the sequel to this video, my Bambu Studio Advanced tutorial. Always here to help if you need it. Thanks, and happy printing!

Glad it was helpful, thanks for commenting, and happy printing 🙂

Really glad you enjoyed it! Happy printing!

I'm really glad it was helpful. Did this help you solve the issue with assigning which filament you needed or do you still need some help?

Really glad you like it, hope it helped. Happy printing!

You're very welcome! Happy printing!

You're very welcome!

Glad you liked it, hope it helped. Happy printing!

Really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah I am trying to improve the pace I run at in my videos so hopefully you'll find it better in future videos. Just a tip, if I (or anyone) is going too fast on KZfaq, if you hit the 'cog' settings button on the video and go to 'playback speed' you can set it to play back at something like 75% (listed as 0.75) and that may then be a better speed for you. Thanks for the feedback and happy printing!

Thanks, hope it helped, happy printing!

My pleasure, thank you!

You are welcome!

You're most welcome, thanky you, and happy printing!

You're very welcome, glad you like it.

Haha hope it was helpful

Really glad it was helpful! Happy printing!

Thank you so much, really glad you liked it! Plenty more content in the way. If you're after something to progress onto now, I've go the Bambu Studio Advanced Tutorial already to go on my channel (along with a load of others). Thanks again

Glad you learned from it! Got plenty more ready to watch including the sequel to this video (Bambu Studio Advanced Tutorial), and masses more on the way every week.

You're very welcome!

I'm glad you like the video. Thanks for your feedback, a number of people have made similar requests and in my more recent software tutorials I have begun to zoom in on areas where there is small text or lots of details/options. I've also switched to using a larger cursor to more easily follow. I'm always happy to help if you couldn't follow something.

Hope it was helpful thanks for commenting, and happy printing

Hey there. Thanks so much for getting in touch and I'm really glad you found the video useful. Regarding the support question, I did indeed mean 'below'. This angle is referring to the angle of a printed surface relative to a bed. So the side of a cube sat on the print bed would be 90°. If your Threshold angle is set to 30°, then it would not apply support material to any surface which had an angle above 30°, but would for example, provide support for a surface at a 20° angle from the bed (which would be quite a considerable overhang. Do let me know if you'd like me to explain this further.

@@3DRevolution This clears it up nicely! I think the key words I was missing were “relative to the bed”. After launching BBL Studio just now to see if I had missed that in the tool-tip while hovering over Threshold Angle, I noticed it wasn’t in the tool-tip, but clicking the link to the wiki does hint at that in the diagram. Still no mention of the bed, but does clear things up. Thanks!

So glad you liked the video, thank you so much! Regarding multi-colour printing without an AMS, you can do that but you are pretty much limited to different colours on different layers rather than painting specific sections of the print different colours. I cover it in a recent video which you can see here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs56eLWd2da5ink.htmlsi=IYs7aP0NOuNg3Rp_ Hope that helps.

Hi there and welcome to the exciting world of 3D printing! I've no doubt you're going to absolutely love your A1 combo. Regarding your request, I have received some similar requests and I will definitely take them into account when producing similar videos in the future. Thanks, and happy printing!

Thank you very much! I hope it helped! I'm always here if you need any help. Happy printing!

No problem, happy printing!

In the 7 months since this video was published I've had a few similar requests, and more recent software tutorials now feature some mechanics that can make it easier to follow on a smaller screen. I hope thst helps, happy printing.

You're most welcome, I hope it was helpful!

Hey Tony, welcome. Technically you're fine to leave the filament loaded and I'd say 90% of hobbyists do. The reason to unload it and pack it up when not in use is filament absorbs moisture from the air and over time this causes it to perform worse when printing. At that point you then want to 'dry' your filament using a filament dryer, mod for your heated printer bed, or a food dehydrator, but preventing is always best. So, if you're in a particularly humid part of the world, you may want to unload your filament between prints and store it in an airtight bag or box with some silica gell. If however you're in a dryer part of the world and it's not going to be weeks in between each print, then you'll likely be ok leaving the spool on there. In time you'll find you'll be swapping reels out anyway as you want to print in different colours and materials so the same reel is never loaded for long. There is a slight exception with the AMS (not the AMS lite) where it technically unloads the filament automatically at the end of a print, but it's housed within a fairly air tight container anyway, meaning you don't need to worry about filaments being left in the AMS enclosure as much. On a side note, an important thing after printing is to make sure you let the hot end cool down to ideally 35 or 40 degrees before you power it off. This is because it'll keep the fan running along the heat sync and prevent heat rising up the extruder too high. If you power it off too early it can result in clogs or other issues in future uses. As for a CAD programme, it really depends what sort of stuff you want to design. If you want to design more organic structures (busts, animals, trees etc) then use Blender, but if you want to design more functional or dimensionally accurate parts, then there is a range of choices out there. My advice would be Fusion 360. It isn't a quick and easy learn, and it has a lot of functions you'll never need. However, if you start out with something else, you will eventually want some of the functions of Fusion 360, at which point you'd be learning again from scratch, so you're best off just learning that from the get go. Also, there is a free version of Fusion 360 available, providing you're not earning more than £1000 directly from it's use (and some other caviats I think).

Thanks, Glad you like it! Happy printing.

Hey, really glad you found the video helpful! You're absolutely right, printing by object with two objects each a different colour would massively reduce the purge required compared to printing them layer by layer. However, in cases like that I'd personally much prefer to just run them as completely separate prints (which is effectively the same thing, without risking a toolhead collision with other objects). If you do need to print multiple items at the same time though, each which are a a different colour, print by object will certainly both quicker and produce significantly less purge material than printing them all together by layer.

@@3DRevolution Good info- Thank you!! As a side note I have not printed my first print yet. My printer is waiting in the box at home as it arrived when I was out of town. Your video is giving me a great head start for when I finally get to print.

Hey really glad you like the video, thanks. Regarding saving the file as gCode, if you select 'Export plate sliced file' from the dropdown menu in the top left (where you also get the options for print, send etc) then if you click the button it will let you export as gCode.

Hey thanks glad you liked it. Regarding cutting your part, you'll want to use the cut tool which I touch on briefly in this video at 12:20 However, the specific cuts you make will depend on the design of your part. Try to avoid excessive overhangs or particularly small isolated parts. Good luck, and happy printing.

Thanks very much. There is absolutely a way to join 2 models together, check out my video on Mesh Boolean. The assembly system has been slightly changed since an update released 2 days ago but for the most part that video should cover it for you.

@@3DRevolution ah, so if, for instance, I had a head and a hat models, I could import both objects in, assign them different colours, put the hat on the head, combine them and print them as one?

Really glad you liked the video, glad it helped. Hmm it depends the settings you've used. Was it an STL you downloaded or was it a Bambu Studio 3MF that also included print settings? First thing to check, is a P1P preset (with the correct nozzle size) selected in the drop down menu at the top left?

@@3DRevolution I downloaded the stl file. Yes It has p1p with 0.4 nozzle

@alanastl Hmm it's difficult to say without seeing all of your settings. The error title you mention days the issue is with the printer presets, so if we assume that is accurate, then the filament and process settings should be fine. In which case, it'll be one of the options in the preset for the printer itself. Have you changed anything in there? Also, and I am only saying this to be sure, if the preset in Bambu Studio is definitely set to P1P 0.4mm, you definitely have the P1P and not the P1S?

@@3DRevolution thank you so much. I got it. I don’t know why but it keeps defaulting to A1. I changed it back to P1P and I finally got to print . I have to keep changing it back.

@@alanastl Ah glad you got it to work! It usually defaults to whatever printer was selected when you last saved a project. So not the last time you exported gcode or sent to printer, but actually saved the Bambu Studio project 3MF. However, do you have a Bambu A1? If not you can remove it from the drop down list entirely. Just hit the cog button up in the property settings section and then untick everything but the printers you actually have, then click OK.

Hey there. SolidWorks is the industry leading CAD software, if you have that and you know how to use it, there is no better option. I personally use Fusion 360 but both are more than capable for 3D prints. I'm not personally super familiar with the SolidWorks (though I do plan to wrap my head around it at some point), but you basically just need to export your designs you've made in there as an STL, then import that into Bambu Studio (or whichever slicer you're using)
