i print a 3d object every morning after my coffee
Now I imagine someone shifting left to right and front to back in their toilet seat…. Thanks for the picture.
You don't save your 3d printed object for work?

Can you share the STL please? And is it a print in place or does it require glue for assembly? 😋
Looks like they used their hand as the build plate.
It's glorious! Welcome to the team.
You know, everyone I see uses that tug boat print for their calibration, but what you made here was far more intricate and beneficial.
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?
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.

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.
Nobody knows.

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.
Nice, I've always wanted one of those
Send me the STL file please
You chose an excellent printer to start with.
Which is it? I was just admiring how solid the construction looks.
Edit: A1 mini? Interesting design and I had no idea how affordable they were...
Yep, I just bought one as my 2nd printer. Super pleased with it. Definitely among the best $200 I've ever spent.
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.
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.
Same, I went straight from an ender 3 pro to a Prusa mk4
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.

To be fair I have had to do some maintenance on my A1 mini. You have to lube up your Y axis. 😉

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.
It's a lovely ear ring! 😍
Getting r/amightyharvest vibes.
Congrats, I just printed the same thing in green as my first print.
You two need to get together and enjoy the Christmas vibes!

You stole my design!
Abstract 3d representations of Salvador Dali paintibgs. Such a bold vision for a first print. Bravo.
Look at ‘em. So precious 🥺
One of us! One of us! One of us!
Typical novice. Wasting tons of plastic on their first print.
It's lovely! I should make some!
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 😁
What is it?
I'm gonna dub this print the Poopy.
A squiggly
I've not perfected those yet. I'm still on a bits of thin stringy bits my wife hates and my cat adores._
Looks like a yummy meatball, it'll look great on your first spaghetti
Its beautiful
Congrats. I never did anything like that!

Oooh, 3D printed mole crap.
