In this video I show you how to transform an SVG file into a 3D model, perfect for printing with a Bambu 3D Printer equipped with an AMS. I'll start by walking you through Inkscape, a free tool that I use to edit the SVG image. Next, I'll take you through the steps of converting your image into a 3D model in Tinkercad. But the fun doesn’t stop there! I'll also guide you through the Bambu Studio slicer, where we'll add the final touches and colors to your model. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have all the skills you need to create your own 3D prints with ease and confidence. This video is great for anyone starting out in 3D printing or looking to improve their skills!

Thank you for this great video, it was very informative...I had gotten an Ankermake M5 3D printer before Xmas 2023 and then after Xmas I purchased a Bambu Lab A1. I love the Bambu A1 because I can print in different colors and the videos that you make along with me just playing around with Bambu Studio have taught me stuff I didn't know and stuff I kind of know got me to understand it better so my printing and knowledge has gotten better. I love the Bambu printer, I like the Ankermake M5 printer but it gives me trouble each time trying to feed the filament in. It didn't at first but maybe after 10 prints it constantly gets stuck and I have to keep taking it apart. I had purchased a new all-metal hotend for it so maybe that will help and too there is filament stuck in it that can't get it out, so we'll see how that goes. I should be looking to change that out within the next couple weeks. But thanks for your videos. They are awesome! If you have a video or if you can make one about making your own pre-sets according to the generic filaments and to different projects, so if you select a certain project, the presets would be available for the pre sets you make concerning different company and color filament and type....instead of selecting generic and have to reset it all the time....

One tip - You can skip the split to objects step entirely if you switch to 'objects' mode - it imports the group as an assembly, and each part of an assembly can still be colored separately. Also, you can choose colors by pressing the numpad corresponding to the filament slot!

I’ve used this SVG method to take photos and convert them to black & white so they’re simple and then import into an existing project as a modifier part like 1mm thick and use them to create a two-color inlay on an project. I made a 12-deck playing card box in black PLA and inlayed the dead man’s hand (aces and eights) on the lid with a skull and cross bones in copper silk PLA. Looks cool af. All that to describe another use for images in projects. Someone more creative than I am could do some slick things with this.

Could you please do a video on using colored layers where the base layer is 2mm and the layer above us 2mm on top or added to the first layer without the second layer being printed throughout the first layer. Just 2 layers on top of the other and different colors. I find this can be a difficult thing to achieve in bambu lab. Always getting warnings and both layers sticking to the bed instead of one on top of the other.

Thanks for this. I was using online png to svg converters, and then the resulting svg was too much for tinkercad to load. I like being able to export layers separately. Makes sense. Could probably just skip the Tinkercad and go to Bambu slicer... But... what do you do when you are working with an image file, and not an svg file? How do you separate it into layers?

Thank you Chris, I traced a png mono color image with center line tracing (edge detection was better results but I had double lines) on inkscape, I was thinking to apply a gradient color on the stroke so that I have a peak color in the center width of the stroke (don't know how) so that when imported to tinkercad will raise according to color gradient. your result had a flat black stroke, I am trying to have a contour just like converting maps with mountains. is it possible?

Hey Chris, great tutorial bud! One question, I'm following along but am running into some issues.

So when I export into Tinkercad and eventually Bambu nothing is seperate, it's all together

It might not be exactly what you're thinking of but I've done a few "text on top" prints like light switch covers and signs. I use the filament change script in Cura. I set it to change the filament at the first layer the text will start at and let it run. It's been s but off a challenge because some printers don't work with the M0 or M600 commands. An ender thought I suspect should work fine.

Hi...great video. I would have liked to find the exact penguin you used so I could follow the steps...exactly. I found some that were close but there was a charge. The real thing I was looking for is one that had the "stroke" around it. The one I used was a thin black line but, was not separate like in your example. Any chance you could share a link to the file you used? Thanks...tw Later....By the way, I figured it out. I snipped a jpg of your penguin and then converted it to and outline svg, broke it apart and then colored it back. Worked fine....thanks

@personwomanmancameratelevision 6 ай бұрын
His way is longer and convoluted. Older slicers did not handle SVG files(so his techniques are throwbacks to that era) so you typically would need another CAD program to modify them. Bambu studio and Orca handle SVG files natively and you can do everything in slicer. It will print fine in slicer.

Awesome Video. I have a question: As you noted, the color in your example goes all the way through. I'm trying to do something similar, but I want the back to be black like the raised part, so the parts in color (white, red, and orange in your example) are above that level. When I bring the files into Bambu Studio, it places all of the parts flush with the print bed, and I can't find how to elevate the color parts. I tried the Move tool to increase the World Coordinates on the Z axis, but it won't keep them elevated and instantly repositions them to be on the bed. Help?
