Joining the Cult. I mean Club.

 Well, I've had one on my list for years. But I either did not think the technology was good enough (filament) or not safe enough for me and the kids (resin).

Well, with the purchase of a Bambu A1 that has changed. The current Sale took care of me dropping dough. 

 Having watched a few (well, a lot) youtube video's on installing, and upgrading it while it was en route from Germany. Delivery was quick, it sat on the dock for a few days till it started the route to my place. Same can't be said for the accessory pack, that is still driving around Germany, somewhere (over the rainbow....), enjoying the ride I guess? At Modhails and Ozymandas referral I picked up 4 rolls of basic Geetech PLA from their preferred store. As they said, 1 roll to completely fuck up, 1 to get to grips with the machine, and 2 to start printing. That was ordered on the weekend and arrived before the printer.

 While it was enroute I got some extra Pax parts from Ikea, getting my start up cost just shy of 600 euros for the printer, extra and spare parts, filament, pretty lights and cabinet parts.  

It arrived last friday, and after what was indeed a quick build, I did my first print...

....and it completely fucked up. That was fun. And I learned pre sliced models.....just don't. 
After that it really was a breeze, honest. Now it is just trying out what works, what doesn't, how the slicer works, watching more Youtube.

Currently running it with the original 0.4 nozzle, at 0.1 layer height, irioning on and supports. Focussing purely on 15mm and 28mm scenery and scatter atm, but I have a 0.2 nozzle on the way.....running around somewhere in Germany....over the hills. 

Ain't it cute. 

Cleanup and glueing parts together.

Test scatter for Stalker.

Adding supports.

Testing settings, with and without ironing on.

Trying tiny stuff. Not great up close, good enough for gaming use. Curious to see how the 0.2 nozzle will handle this. 

 Now trying to figure out how to clean them up even better without hurting myself in the progress :)

And with the doors closed it is pretty quiet too!
