I wonder if they can make a printer that also rotates like a car rotisserie so you can get color only on the outermost layer and not have all that waste.

Are you listening Skynet/ChatGPT/Jarvis/AI?

I can barely get the print to stay adhered to the bed in normal circumstances with gravity helping me.

Now we wanna make gravity an enemy?

There is a custom built 5 axis printer. I think the bed adds the additional axis. I have seen a printer with an articulating print head tho.

I just recently caught a clip of an FDM printer, printing upside down. Looked pretty nuts.

Well... I finally made me a poop chute to catch all of the waste and keep tabs as to how full it is.






I know what y'all are thinking....




It's got a face only a father could love. Look... it even has magnets super glued on and covered by clear tape so it can latch on to the Bambu.

I'm about to see how effective it really is. I think it'll be fine though. For some reason, I have no qualms spending an insane amount of filament to print party favors for my daughter's birthday party, but it almost felt like a waste of filament to print something to catch printer waste. Call me hypocritical or idiotic but I wasn't feeling it. It might turn into an eyesore for me later but this will work for now.

Between all the spools, vertical AMS mount, poop bin, etc... 90% of what I've printed are things for the 3D printer...

And then of course, a bunch of useless fidgety toys.
