Here is a gallery with some of the first prints made with the new IS Bambu X1C printer.
“3D Benchy” is the universal test print. This printed in 17 minutes – half the time of all past IS 3D printers.
System test print for interlocking pieces. This dinosaur prints as a dozen parts that all fit together to make a 3D dinosaur.
Internal test prints – first test print of multiple colors albeit the trivial case
Internal test print – necessary tool to be able to disconnect the AMS unit from the printer.
Derivative design of a “poop chute” container to hold the waste the printer produces when switching filaments. Magnets allow the unit to adhere to the printer.
Fun test print for Halloween decoration using 10 year-old donated filament. At 10 inches, it tests the maximum build volume for the printer.
Bambu spools using donated ABS filament. Bambu allows for the re-use of spools to improve sustainability and reduce costs.
This 4-drawer unit organizes all the smaller tools and supplies and fits under the AMS unit.
This is the first test print of something that requires several filament changes at every layer. This one required over 900 filament changes.
This is the IS ornament for 2024. It was designed in off hours and uses all privately-purchased filament and accessories.
This chain of carabiners provides a sample of every filament used on the X1C printer.
