How to 3D Print Full Helmets on a Bambu Printer!

Ойын-сауық

I recently went to MicroCenter to pick up a new 3d Printer. I was super torn between the Bambu labs P1S and the Creality K1 Max. The Bambu sounded nice because I wanted reliability but the small build volume made me think I should be grabbing the K1 Max instead. Well I decided to go with the P1S and see if it was too small for helmets or If I was gonna be able print full size helmets on it. Hopefully this helps you figure out if this printer will work for you!

    newbie here - I wouldn't have clicked your video if your channel name was Quest4Nostalgia... that doesn't tell me what you do. SaturdayMorningProps tells me exactly what I should expect and I'm totally down for it :D

    I liked the Quest4Nostalgia, I thought it was good. I saw where the name was going, hindsight and all plus nostalgia, but SMP rings really well. That's basically why I got into 3d printing, for saturday morning props/ toys I didn't have as a kid.

    I was pretty torn between the K1Max and the P1S for the same reasons and I also ended up getting the P1S. Currently it's printing out pieces for my Halo Mk V[B] suit and this printer has been leagues better than my Anycubic I3 Mega and CR-6se and not to mention the AMS system has been great for swapping rolls as I run out.

    I know it can, just that orientation is important as is sizing, and do one half at a time.

    I had the exact same thought debate with myself, K1 Max or P1S. Ended up with the P1S with AMS on sale, was about the same as the K1 Max pricewise. While I do regret it not being big enough to print a Clone Trooper helmet I AM stoked about the quality and ease of use. Coming from a Neptune 3 Pro and always fixing something or changing settings every other print. With the Bambu I load the file into the slice (Orca) send the file and print from my PC. Never have to check and if I want to I can do it from the slicer or the app on my phone. If you have the money or can get it cheap I say go for it. Might go Neptune 3 Max or K1 Max later on if I get into hardcore cosplaying or selling armor.

    When you cut the files into different parts, how do you hide the gaps after gluing/welding them together? Would the Bondo glazing putty be good for that?

    Yup depending on how big the seam, can use spot putty or real bondo

    Any chance you could share your support settings and print orientation on the bambu specifically. I've been trying to print ranger helmets from DO3d and Wicked on a p1p but the supports are crazy on them. Do you think the details on white ranger helmet needs supports from the inside? (the forehead patterns)

    After you are done rotating simply press right click and select “center”. This brings your helmet in the middle of the build plate so you dont have to manually move left and right.

    So depending on your headsize it may be possible to fit on the bambu, but would probably be best to split the top from the bottom
