Looks like a yummy meatball, it'll look great on your first spaghetti

Congrats. I never did anything like that!

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

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

i print a 3d object every morning after my coffee

[–] Madison420 2 points 3 hours ago

You don't save your 3d printed object for work?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Now I imagine someone shifting left to right and front to back in their toilet seat…. Thanks for the picture.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Technically it only counts if you stare intently at a three dimensional object while you do it and attempt to replicate it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

You stole my design!

[–] hakunawazo 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I'm gonna dub this print the Poopy.

[–] electricyarn 9 points 15 hours ago

Abstract 3d representations of Salvador Dali paintibgs. Such a bold vision for a first print. Bravo.

[–] RampageDon 20 points 19 hours ago

Send me the STL file please

[–] Potatisen 94 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 15 hours ago

One of us! One of us! One of us!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

I've not perfected those yet. I'm still on a bits of thin stringy bits my wife hates and my cat adores._

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Frame this mf

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 20 hours ago

Looks like they used their hand as the build plate.

[–] Asidonhopo 29 points 22 hours ago

Nice, I've always wanted one of those

[–] multicolorKnight 1 points 11 hours ago

Eeyup, that looks about right. Congratulations.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] MidsizedSedan 7 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

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.

[–] GreenKnight23 8 points 18 hours ago

think of it as a seed to grow an unhealthy obsession.

[–] SloppyPuppy 4 points 15 hours ago

Its beautiful

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

May I name this piece of art? From now on let’s call it:

„The sourcecode“

It reminds me of the spaghetti code I create at work 😁

[–] Aarrodri 37 points 1 day ago

It's glorious! Welcome to the team.

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 19 hours ago

Typical novice. Wasting tons of plastic on their first print.

[–] Thcdenton 2 points 15 hours ago

Its a unicorn!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 23 hours ago

good start to your new collection of abstract art

[–] Jayb151 3 points 17 hours ago

The poop must flow!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

You can teach these other fools here a thing or two. Good on you, mate! Lol

[–] ramenshaman 15 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You chose an excellent printer to start with.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] AtHeartEngineer 4 points 14 hours ago

Ya Bambu is the way to go rn

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] durfenstein 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] dai 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I think the AMS is the only reason I'd go with an A1 - my modded V3 SE is a dream in its current iteration. Happily printing PETG / TPU currently with a spool of ABS-GF waiting for an enclosure to be finished.

[–] ramenshaman 1 points 6 hours ago

The AMS is amazing. I just bought my 3rd and 4th when they had their black friday sale. Multicolor prints look soooo good and it's very reliable, unlike the MMU2 I had on my Prusa. Pretty soon I'm going to attempt to print some wheels (maybe ABS or PLA-CF) with some squishy TPU tires.

[–] ArtVandelay 4 points 17 hours ago

Same, I went straight from an ender 3 pro to a Prusa mk4
