Can anyone here print box 14"x14"x14" high? 1/8" thick walls
also has to be waterproof

360 x 360 bed? H2d that big?

Im not sure what that means?

The new Bambu Lab flagship that @ChelanJim and one or two others got. Bigger print area.

side to side dimension is limited to 320 mm or 12.59 inches on the new H2D. The other dimensions are also a touch off with the most being 350 mm or 13.77 inches.

I bet someone here has a printer that could do it.

Even my Voron is only 350x350mm (13.75" x 13.75"). Also, waterproofing FDM would require some kind of 2nd process coating or vapor bath (nylon) as FDM is inherently porous. Might be better off cutting / gluing acrylic sheet.

Has anyone started to use these new hot ends from bambu.

The little bit of sticking and clumping it says it helps with this one of the only issues I have from time to time on my 3D printer.

I’ve taken the wet filament part of the equation.

I have been using this one in the H2D. No problems and great for the speed with larger prints. It is included with the large package (laser and cutter) but finding it in stock is really challenging. I signed up to be notified and just happened to find it in stock (never notified), bought it and 2 hours later was “out of stock” again. I have not seen it in stock again.

I printed this nozzle for my Eastwood powder coating gun and it works really well at reducing the amount of wasted powder.

I never liked the big cloud of powder that comes out of the stock gun and I printed a nozzle extension to reduce the cloud and direct it toward the part. It was an improvement, but there was still a lot of powder that went past the part.

I saw a few videos of more expensive systems that seem to just deposit powder on the part with very little waste. Those systems use a small slot for the powder to come out, so I wondered if that would work on the Eastwood.

A few minutes in CAD and an hour of printing and I had a new nozzle with a small slot.

The initial test was a huge improvement in directing the powder onto the part without the cloud of wasted powder.

You are a genius…of course you don’t need me telling you that.

I noticed that one powder coat tip that I was just playing with to see if I could mimic the profile, had a slit like you created. It also had a lobsided depression that I imagine would cause some gentle swirling of the powder.

I know you would be easily able to do that if you wanted but at first I thought I would need to cut the depressions. It turned out being easier than I thought by using different profiles with the revolve feature.

Well, I seem to have stepped in it.
My wife was complaining about her portable kennel and the corners collapsing so I designed and printed a very stout and secure corner bracket. She had her campout last month here on the property and one of her friends saw them and loved it. She has been having everyone at the dog shows asking about it and it’s spread like wildfire now. Well, it has snowballed from there and I just ordered a second H2D.
I just thought it was a common-sense solution to keep my wife happy but she has gotten orders pouring in from all over the country. Bad thing is they are an 8 hour print with ASA. Good thing is I got an excuse to buy another toy.
Between what she already sold and what I need to print this weekend it has almost paid for the new printer. (close enough for me. lol)
I have some other things I’m doing that everyone is seeming to like so this may accidentally turn into an unintended and kinda unwanted business. A problem I guess I should consider myself blessed to have.

Interesting new offer from SunLu for people with existing bambu AMS a. I’ve been really happy with my SunLu S4 dryer I’m sure this conversion for the bambu AMS will be as good.
