That’s a $10k printer. Now that’s an awesome customer!

I stumbled across it used about an hour away for $7k. Its taken me a bit to get it set up and running like it should since the Bambu is so much easier to use and prints so much faster and better quality its been kinda frustrating. The guy we got it from showed us the prints that came off of it and had it printing when we got there so I know it puts out really nice stuff. If I didn't start with the Bambu it would have not been an issue, but they set the bar so so high that its just crazy to compare the two.

How many sections would you have to print a door panel in? Can you easily hide the seam or would they be wrapped?

With my Bambu it was I think 15 pieces. With the big printer I think I had it down to 5 pieces. They would be bonded together and have alignment pins in them all and then use one of those plastic welders to melt in the S clips for reinforcement. Body work after that and nobody will ever know once its wrapped or it could be painted and a mold pulled for carbon panels.

I have two scanners, one is mine and its a Revopoint Mini2. It does well with small stuff like knobs and switches. It doesn't do medium to large stuff very will if at all. The customer that got the printer also got me a Einstar Shining 3D scanner and with it I've scanned the entire left side of my interior so I can model panels off it. That's been a crash course in learning on how to do that so I only mess with it every once in a while when I feel like getting my ass kicked. The last week I've been tinkering when I've had the time with my trunk. Here is the 3D scan imported into Fusion 360 for modeling (if anyone has modeling tips I'm all ears).

I did edit out a bunch of the image I didn't need so it would take less memory to run in the program so thats why it looks chopped up and not like a full scan.

I bought the Bambu X1C about a year ago. I had never 3D printed before and it is quite easy to do with this printer. I have also been learning Fusion 360 for a couple of years and it is very simple to export a file to print.

I have made a few tools with it. I made the Z Axis drive adapter for my knee mill. It's ABS with a full infill and it has yet to break in 10 months.

For those of you with printers, I have uploaded some AN caps and plugs, 3/8 fuel line clips, and 3/16 brake line clips that are free to download. It'd be cool if you liked it or boosted it if you download it.

I left a comment but apparently i have no boost tokens. Great work!
