TPU - elastic, many uses, hard to paint and glue PETG - resistant against some solvents hard to paint, hard to glue, good for eg filler capsĪBS - good to glue with acetone, easy to paint, surface treatment with acetone vapour possibleĪSA - same as ABS plus better UV resistance (ie. PLA - will degrade quickly, even faster outdoors It's more durable and less messy than using glue stick on the standard plate.Īs you're capable to design your own geometries, I guess you'll print more functional parts than dust collectors like dragon heads et al One thing I'd recommend is ordering the PEI plate. I've not felt the need to rush and try a different nozzle size although I might have a play at some point. I've not had a bad PLA print out of mine yet (on both Bambu or 'non bargain basement' third party materials). If you are new to printing I'd just look at a couple of rolls of PLA to begin with. Sorry for all the novice questions - but I am exactly that! Keen to get started though, and appreciate that there is a certain amount of trial by error.From memory it comes with part spools of PLA, PA-CF and PLA support material to get you going.

Going to be outputting my files from Solidworks, and then using Bambu Studio (which I have already downloaded and had a cursory play with).Īny guides on material selection for parts etc If we try different materials, do I need to go for different nozzles? What other bits should I get from them at the same time, to get started? I'm new to the world of 3D printing, so not sure if its the same as with 2D printing where you get just a token amount of ink in the test cartridge. I've been given the go ahead to get a Bambu X1 Carbon with AMS.
