Once you have a reliable printer, the workflow is mostly to slice -> send to printer -> wait and check on it every couple of hours until it's done ime. Imo it no longer super matters how much better the on-screen ui or webcam are.
Mutli-color though is where Bambu has a good leg up.
(Diluted) Vision Miner Nano Polymer Adhesive and a good bed leveling probe has done a lot to make my printer set and forget, no matter which print sheets I use.
- nicce 5mo agoWasn’t the main hassle in calibrarion and Bambu was good in that and is major reason for popularity? So ”once you have a reliable printer” is kinda big thing.
- anamexis 5mo agoPrusa is on par with Bambu in that respect. Really, Prusa are the ones that pioneered hassle-free calibration.
- holowoodman 5mo agoWhat Prusa is that? Last one I've used (not my own, community lab), I had to level the bed using the sheet-of-paper-method. Which is the reason why I got a Bambu for myself.
- MBCook 5mo agoThey fixed that with the 3.5 or 3.9 upgrade many years ago. The 4 and Core One families never had to do it. Edit: and yes, it did suck
- mofosyne 5mo agoGot the Prusa MK3S+ and it's been perfectly reliable for years
- Steltek 5mo agoMy mk3s+ (circa 2020) had a bed sensor. It's still super reliable and I'm only upgrading it to a Core One L because of the upcoming INDX system. Prusa quality, ethics, and true multi-material (not multi-color) in a compact package? Yes please!
- busterarm 5mo ago> Mutli-color though is where Bambu has a good leg up. I'm excited for INDX but going to wait a year or so.
- cassianoleal 5mo agoI'm waiting for my Founders Edition. I'm confident it will work well, even if not perfectly at first.
- darkteflon 5mo agoCan anyone in the commentariat recommend a great, locally available adhesive in Japan? Vision Miner is import-only and pricey. I’ve been using glue-sticks but am ready to level up as I’m moving away from PLA.
- martin_a 5mo agoCan you get 3DLAC in Japan? That's what I'm using with great success. Otherwise maybe try some hair sprays, that worked in 2011, too... :-D
- vallassy 5mo agoDepending on your level of DIY-ness and willingness to handle powders, you could make some Super Goop. I've heard good things about it but haven't yet had enough bed adhesion issues to make it yet. https://github.com/MakerBogans/docs/wiki/Printer-goop https://github.com/MakerBogans/docs/wiki/Printer-goop
- faangguyindia 5mo agoI've used thinned out real PVA glue (not polyurethane) for years.
- lobsterthief 5mo agoHigh-hold hairspray will work wonders for you. I’ve been using it to print, including on glass, since 2014.
