  Tons of waste and it doesn’t even look that great lol

    I think the intention is for it to have deep grooves and lines like that to mimic a wood texture. But to us it just looks like big bad layer lines

  What’s annoying is that it doesn’t HAVE to purge. I’ve experimented with changing the filament manually without pausing and the results are good.

    In that specific printer or in another one?

      I use the P1P.

  Aren’t you usually supposed to paint the print in models like this?

  • GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    supposed to

    I don’t understand this. Who is supposed to do anything in this hobby? If you wanna print in gray and then paint, go for it. If you wanna print in multicolor, go for it.

      You know. To avoid the waste. As pictured.

      Obviously art is art.

    A good painter will always create a better job but that also requires time and talent that you might not have.

  I wonder if a slicer could hide the transitioning color inside the print instead of making a separate purge tower. I don’t know that the cause of the filament popping is, but maybe that could be minimized too?

    What would be nice would be a way the waste can be used to print something else like a functional part that colors won’t matter.

      Yeah like during the infill portion of each layer, swap the color. But I can only see that work if each layer is a separate color.

      Not sure what’s the current state of other slicers. but PrusaSlicer has a setting that does exactly that, called ‘Wipe object’.

      As others have said few slicers support printing a second model as the wipe/purge object, but Stefan from CNC Kitchen happens to be one of the few people on earth that owns a filament recycling setup so these poops might get recycled as well.

    • JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      That would involve remelting the filament and re-extruding, which can be bad for strength. Maybe you could print the functional print at the same time and use it as the purge tower?

  Was that printed on a printer with one hotend or something?

  source

  • GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    The printer is a Bambu Labs X1C. It has one hotend but several spools available. It can switch between spools but has to purge the molten material already in the hot end.

  I just prefer to paint my models. It’s more fun and doesn’t generate a metric butt ton of waste.

  Btw there are videos of people on YouTube melting the poop into silicone moulds using a toaster oven to make key dishes and stuff!

  • Toribor@corndog.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    You have a lot more control over the final look with paint as well, though it is obviously time consuming.

  Please tell me your recycling that?

      I don’t care and will continue to use it incorrectly

    I’m not CNC Kitchen, so I won’t be doing anything with it.

  The amount of waste and time it takes are downright insulting

• redcalcium@lemmy.institute ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Is there any tool that can turns those wasted 3d print materials into a new filament spool?

  source

  • filcuk@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It can be done with some plastics, like the common PLA.
    It’s a little expensive and you won’t get the quality of a new spool.
