I have now had my Bambu Lab A1 3D printer for over a week and have been printing off a few more things.

Guitar buddies

The Guitar Buddy is a fun little toy that shows how you can make models with moving parts all at once. I made an extra one for a friend and printing both together did not take much longer than it would to do one.

Ocarina

This Ocarina is an impressive bit of design as it is all curves and needs to play in tune. I give it a go in the video, but I am still learning. It is also impressive how it prints as there is a big overhang. The plastic sets very quickly and there is a 'brim' around the base to make it stay in place.

All my prints have come out very well so far and I am still on my first reel of filament. I give a preview of my next item that requires lots of separate parts. I am awaiting some screws to put that all together. I will do a separate post about this when it is all done. I can run the printer next to me as I am working as it is not too loud. I do not have anywhere else to put it for now.

That's pretty cool. Kind of makes me want to swap out the one I have in my office for something better. If I could think up something cool or useful for it in my office I could probably justify it.

The fact that one can print multiple models at once is indeed time saver.
