About
This site is a notebook. I try something on the printer, measure what happens, and write it down here. Six months later, when the same problem shows up again, I read my own notes.
I started writing because I could not find the answers I was looking for on forums.
What I write about
Settings and maintenance notes. "The corners were lifting on PETG, I tried this and it failed, then I tried that and it worked." What temperature, what speed, which attempt finally worked. I write the numbers down because advice without numbers is no use to anyone.
Drawings too. I share the files for parts I made for myself. A screw box, a cable channel, a tool panel, that kind of thing.
What I do not write about
Settings I have not tried. There are hundreds of pages out there saying "240 degrees is fine" and the world does not need one more. If you see a number here, that number came off my printer.
My setup
- Printer
- Bambu Lab P1S
- Slicer
- Bambu Studio
- CAD
- SOLIDWORKS, Fusion
I list these because a setting is useless if you do not know which machine produced it. If your printer is different, your numbers will be different too. Treat what you read here as a starting point rather than a final answer.
Getting in touch
If you tried a setting and got a different result, write in, I would like to know. If you spotted a mistake in a post, write in as well and I will fix it.
Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube and Printables are open too. If you want to send a photo of a print, those are the easiest.
