I'd really like a hueforge video, I like the way you explain yourself. Just my vote 👍

It is incredible how in 2024 one can go from idea to sales so fast and with very limited "artistic skills". It really shows the power of technology (and how much young people like you benefit from learning about it).

Great video. I'm impressed how you changed the color at different layers and it only changed 4 times. So much detail and little waste.

Very useful videos. Looking forward for the rest of the series. Great job!

Glad to see you expanding. Thinking this is a good expansion product

I dd not expect those really really good results. Nice And i do like the see through

Really informative video, been looking into 3d printing and its great to see how u think and work, learned some new things. Thanks! Keep it up

Great design, thanks for showing the process. Really, really great work 👍

Just discover your Chanel and I wanted to tell you how motivating you are. Thank you, keep the good work.

yes i would love a more in depth tutorial for this program. Ive seen some stuff on hueforge and im super interested in using it once i get my Bambu Labs A1 with AMS Lite :)

great way of finish all of the leftover filament!

Thank for this amazing video , I really enjoyed it and I hope to continue learning about 3D😊

nice tutorial and wonderful job! i had to watch all of it and it might get me into printing again.

I have an X1C as I replaced my ender 3 with it, I have primarily used single color as I print supports and one off jobs, but seeing you use multiple colors makes me want to try. You break it down and make it look so simple. Great Job.

Wow thanks for the video very inspiring I’m getting a 2 Bambu printer in few weeks looking forward to the Multi-printing.

This is pretty interesting! I've been making pseudo-woodblock prints by using rendered grayscale images (or color ones that I've converted and adjusted the exposure and contrast) and just bringing them directly into Cura. Cura will then ask you if you want the darker parts to be elevated and the lighter lowered or visa versa. It's simple but it's also a quick way to print out fonts for 3D signs and car/motorbike emblems. From here you can use them as-is, or use polystyrene and a vacu-former for something a little more weather-hardy if you're using PLA like I am.

Empty spools can be used to make stackable item drawers. There are designs for this on Thingiverse and Printibles. Each compartment can be made to slide or swing out, depending on design, it's a great project, and not too hard if you don't mind sacrificing the print time for them. Alternately if you're kinda handy, the compartments can be made from wood.

HueForge video please :) Great video, loved it!

Hueforge! 🙌

This was a great video! Keep sharing your journey :)

Great explanation of your workflow.

I accidentally find your tutorial and it is really good. This is the first time I know how to change color at which layer height I want. BTW we are using the same 3d printer P1S. Thank you.

You're on that entrepreneurial game! love it

Good on you for reusing those spools! If you are looking for a way to reuse empty spools, I have just the way! If you are using bambu spools, you might want to consider printing the reusable spool carousel that you can see on bambu lab's channel. Another way is to purchase refills instead of new filaments with spools on bambu lab's store, iirc, you can get 4 dollars off on a new spool, you might also be able to get some out of stock colors!

Great video. Thank you for your understanding positively transforming our comments into inspiring content..!!

Looks great!

Wow fantastic explanation! You definitely earned a sub😊

Great job. Comments sections are merciless these days well done for making it a win. 🏆 ❤

Very Cool!!!

Awesome stuff! Bookmarks are hot right now, have no idea why lol maybe lots of readers !

Cool idea!

1:48 I heard about this somewhere else, still need to try it myself. I’ve been saving my empty spools to roll my Christmas lights onto. There’s probably a little clip you could print also (using the last little bits of filament) that clips onto both the spool and the end of the lights to keep them from unraveling. Like I said, I havent tested this yet but it seems like it would work well!

My mind was blown when you chanced your colors with the layer slider on the preview screen… Didn’t know you could do that! So much easier than having to paint and guess what layer you’re drawing on 😎👍

They look pretty cool! Btw you got a lot of filament haha I can see why throwing filament could trigger people. A see through could be really cool and also other shapes as well , you could even personalize them as well.

wow awesome!

Omg, I was struggling with printing my 2d art on products. Never heard of HueForge, ffs it changed my complete workflow!

They look so smooth. Did you do any finishing process to them?

I think bookmarks are a good category to add to your product theme of teacher table top accessories. Try a top surface pattern of hilbert curve for your hueforge prints And lastly there are ways to 3d print on top of transparency paper. You could use a laser/inkjet printer to print designs on transfer film, mount it on the build plate and 3d print the bookmark ontop of it. It wouldn't be 3d but you'd have a cool design that supports more colors and it would probably print way faster.

These look pretty cool, I'll have to try out HueForge. I wonder if this could somehow be used to make lithophane prints more realistic. Also, I couldn't exactly tell from the settings I saw in your video, but it looks like you may have used rectilinear patterns for the top surface infill based on the way the light reflects off of the surface of the bookmarks and accentuates regions of darker/lighter patches of infill which were laid in different directions. If so, you could try using the monotonic infill instead, which ensures it lays down the lines all in one direction and dramatically increases the visual consistency of the top surface. In any case, I've been enjoying your videos and keep it up :) giving you support from Holly Springs, NC.

Wow thank you I’ll give that a try! Once it says “can’t use that infill at 100%” I assumed it had to be the rectilinear since that what it changed to but now it know. ☺️

I’ve created a version with tassels(you’ll see them in the last 30 sec of the video) but I haven’t listed those on Etsy yet. I agree with you that I’m not sure if it’s worth the hassle of keeping them in stock. I’m waiting to see if the non tassel listings sell well enough before adding the tassel versions.

Use the empty rolls for rolling extension cords and cables.

Thanks for sharing❤

Hey, thank you for the video. Do you have any alternative suggestions for adobe illustrator? As a college student I have access to the entire autodesk library but don't know what would be the best alternative.

Bro got the more plates more dates intro

just a observation, you might want to consider for the bookmarks using the process devin from make anything channel uses to create his phone cases it produces a similar effect to hueforge but since its kind of a reverse printing (the bottom is the face up portion) its completely flat. I say this as it appears that some of your designs (space, pickle, etc.) have raised parts (little dots here and there, etc.) and lower areas, and if used in a book i would expect to be little pressure points on the paper and would indent them (emboss/deboss) those areas and people might get pissed if your book marks "ruined" their pages... (i know people can be weird/finicky!) I too am making bookmarks but unlike you mine are a mere 1 or 2 mm in thickness (so they are flimsy, but its plastic so it works!) and currently the only "pattern" i'm using are the patterns on the various build plate surfaces you can buy off amazon and i'm printing them in transparent petg and then attaching a ribbon and maybe a tassel. :D Keep up the great work on the videos and looking forward to seeing your outcome in Etsy for these (price and sales stats)!

Yes, please, a tutorial on how to change the color without AMS. thanks a lot!!!!

well, looks like i'll be looking into hueforge! Per bookmark, are you using just one AMS/4 colors, or do you have multiple AMS units connected? great tutorial...ty!

@macymakes3d

Ай бұрын

I only have one AMS per printer. If it uses more than 4 colors I just add pauses so I can switch out filament from earlier slots. Like if it needs 5 colors I'll add a pause when it's printing in slots 3 or 4 so I can put new filament in slot 1 for color 5 to use. 6 would go in slot 2, 7 in slot 3, and continuing on.

Then I need to try upside down, w/ all colors flat on the same level.
