The leap forward they made with this printer is amazing. They basically took all the modifications people were doing to their printers, and used all the knowledge gained by people spending years tinkering and perfecting their settings and packaged it all up while also adding LiDAR. This thing...

Yeah no problem. I use a Bambu X1c printer with the automated material system. It allows printing of 4 different materials through one extruder head. Because I can print multiple materials in the same print then I can use a different material for supports. Supports are generated when you...

The first requirement I have for support material is that it’s water soluble, so that wouldn’t work unfortunately

Not diagonally in the x/y plane, but I may see about tilting it on the x axis so that it still prints sort of flat, but may not need so many supports

ok first full test print of piece #1 of the dashboard: mixed results. The issues that appeared are #1 warping again, and #2 the surface above the supports. The warping I was hoping would be eliminated by printing it sideways, but it did still warp a little, not a lot...but enough to make a...

Trying a full print of the first piece on it's side....29% done and looking good so far. 28 hours left to go. I feel like the print will be successful, but due to printing on it's side there's going to have to be some cleanup and sanding at the very least, from the supports. I've had so much...

Yet it's pretty amazing how things just emerge from the resin goo like magic

Two steps forward and one step back today. I did some touch up work on the model but decided to hold off on the glove box area until I was able to get some working pieces printed, so I don't have to go back and fix things if there needs to be an adjustment. I did attempt to print the first...

Just some more design progress...tomorrow I tackle the glove box area. yikes.

Honestly I'm just going to have my paint and body guy do it, I'm not disciplined enough to take it on myself, I would screw it up

I haven't tried painting it yet, at most I've sanded it smooth and applied epoxy resin to it, both of which worked fine. Online guides say ASA paints just fine like ABS. Thanks, I'm really trying to keep it looking like something that would have come from factory...really confuse the folks at...

adding some details so it's not so flat looking

I print in ASA and it likes about 90-100c on my printer.

Still learning it, the software can glitch a bit but I can live with it. Overall I’m liking it. I think it will really come in handy on the tail lights

Thank you for the kind words!
