at home printing values, is filament waste really such a problem?
I understand OSS people don't like Bambu, but as pure end user, they are great and well put together.
- Wololooo 5mo agoWaste is waste, if you end up using 2 to 4 times the filament (depending on the number of colour change) it's still something to account for. This might seems like a lot but this is the reality of the system.
- Mashimo 5mo agoWell depends on what a problem for you is. But the purging on complex models can be more plastic then the model itself needs. And it also takes time. The difference can be a few hours vs a day of print time. Plenty of videos online that show case examples.
- MBCook 5mo agoI’d say the level of waste from filament switching is a disaster. But many people are used to it which I find crazy. It can be multiple times the weight of the actual thing you’re printing. Exactly how bad depends on the model. Here’s an extreme version: https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1jluvde/35_g_model_425_g_poop_x1c_w_ams/ https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/1jluvde/35_g_mode... It makes one of those little color blobs every single time it changes colors.
