3d Printing Thread

[bluejonny]

Morning all!

Just a thought, but is it worth starting a 3D Printing Pinball Parts thread? I just got my Snapmaker U1 and I have to say it's a fricking awesome piece of kit. Four colour print, excellent quality and multiple filament types (ABS, PLA, PETG etc).

Having had a problem with my Fish Tales autoplunger, I needed the small plastic plunger insert that sits inside the shaft fixed in place by a pin. That meant having to buy the whole plunger assembly, and with postage it becomes stupidly expensive. So I measured, designed in a CAD program and printed it. Perfect fit, and Fish Tales working again. And, there seems to be more and more 3D printed parts and playfield toys becoming available, so should we start a thread dedicated to 3D prints where we can share STL files with the community?

Cheers

JB

Thread '3D Printed items'

Mar 30, 2023

In conjunction with the 3D printers thread, aimed more at the hardware and settings, thought this would be a good place to share any items people have printed, or may want printing. Pinball related or not.

Here are a few of the things I've printed so far.

Ha! Yes, exactly what I meant!! Doh!! (Homer is the correct Avatar!) I did do a search, but nothing came up... :-(

The linked thread isnt specifically 3d printed pinball parts - but im pretty sure anyone that 3d prints something even remotely pinball related will put it there

Has anyone found on Bambu that the EXT reel isn’t recognised if the AMS is attached ? infect it doesn’t pick up selected reels at times due to a mapping error. Can’t see a workaround and following all guides and solutions online gives me
no answer
I see repeated replies to turn off AMS in the print page but i don’t see that option ?

Never tried using EXT, but I have had problems syncing filament on the AMS in BamnuLab. Turning the whole lot off & back on again works, but even easier, doing it in Bambu Handy on my phone seems to fix it in BambuLab (& means I don't have to go up 2 flights of stairs).

It assumes if you've got an AMS plugged in, you're going to be using it.

It can't automatically read filament on the spool holder.

Although, I've never had any issues using the spool holder with the AMS on - using my P1Ss (I havent even connected the spool holder on my H2D). Are you on latest updates for printer, AMS and Slicer?

I simply unhook the Bowden tube coming from the AMS (at the printer) then feed in filament from the spool holder manually. Then click feed on the printer and it sorts itself out.
You then need to tell it what is in the holder in the slicer and you're good to go.

I use that when printing with cardboard spools which have become a hit battered and don't rotate smoothly in the AMS, or on the rarer occasion I use a soft TPU.
