- In this video I show you how to transform an SVG file into a 3D model, perfect for printing with a Bambu 3D Printer equipped with an AMS. I'll start by walking you through Inkscape, a free tool that I use to edit the SVG image. Next, I'll take you through the steps of converting your image into a 3D model in Tinkercad. But the fun doesn’t stop there! I'll also guide you through the Bambu Studio slicer, where we'll add the final touches and colors to your model. By the end of this tutorial, you'll have all the skills you need to create your own 3D prints with ease and confidence. This video is great for anyone starting out in 3D printing or looking to improve their skills!

Fascinating, great video !
Downloading Inkscape ,, new tool new fun !
Thank you! That last part with showing how to break it into parts is a lifesaver! Subscribed!
Thank you for making another easy to follow tutorial. I feel like alot of other creator videos show the steps/clicks too quickly, but your pacing is Just Right!
Thanks man!! I’m really try to make it easy to follow.
I have the same problem with some other creators, I slow down the video speed or speed it up accordingly.
I missed the first bit in Inkscape. Loaded a file then could not get to step 2. I am 79 and Inkscape has me beaten. Please can you tell me how you managed to get rid of the sizing box. @@ItsMeaDMaDe
Thank you! Very easy to follow and Inkscape tutorial was brilliant!
Thanks mate and looking forward to your course! Happy New Year!
1st time I hear the term SVG and inkcape...pretty cool and you said magic words...all free programs..ty
Finally a good inkscape tutorial! thanks!
All of your videos are the best! Thanks
Awesome work. Thank you. Iv been looking for this tutorial for a while now!
Thank you for this! I am a newbie and have been looking for this exact tutorial. I have a ton of svg’s and would love to 3D print them.
Just got a Bambu A1 Combo and this video was amazing! Looking forward to course you mentioned.
New to this space. Don't know how I found your channel. Thank You for the great tutorials.
You do such a great job. Your videos are always so solid and the effort you put in is awesome.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.
Well that's all hey! Great video, ì like the flat side too!
Great video but when I imported an SVG image it is just 1 object, not individual things that I can change colour of.
What to do now?
Love tutorials like this. Judging by the view numbers vs your other videos - I’d say others do too.
Great tutorial.
Excellent video. Your easy to understand. Great!
Good video. Thanks very much for your help!
omgosh i have so many svg files lol this is wonderful. when i can learn my bambu when it comes ill be decorating my home!!! ty
EXCELLENT videos & channel. THANKS
Thank you :) This is very helpful for me !!!
A Great Video, Thank You
Informative and entertaining
Thank you for this great video, it was very informative...I had gotten an Ankermake M5 3D printer before Xmas 2023 and then after Xmas I purchased a Bambu Lab A1. I love the Bambu A1 because I can print in different colors and the videos that you make along with me just playing around with Bambu Studio have taught me stuff I didn't know and stuff I kind of know got me to understand it better so my printing and knowledge has gotten better. I love the Bambu printer, I like the Ankermake M5 printer but it gives me trouble each time trying to feed the filament in. It didn't at first but maybe after 10 prints it constantly gets stuck and I have to keep taking it apart. I had purchased a new all-metal hotend for it so maybe that will help and too there is filament stuck in it that can't get it out, so we'll see how that goes. I should be looking to change that out within the next couple weeks. But thanks for your videos. They are awesome! If you have a video or if you can make one about making your own pre-sets according to the generic filaments and to different projects, so if you select a certain project, the presets would be available for the pre sets you make concerning different company and color filament and type....instead of selecting generic and have to reset it all the time....
thank you bro🤩
Great video. Where did you get that svg file. I looked and could not find that one to follow along with you?
Many THXXX 👏👏
I'm watching tutorial and the penguin is my work 😂
Awesome I bought it on a stock site. It made a sweet ornament. 😁
Thanks!
No thank you! I hope this helped you!!
I'm currently building a desktop app that will convert any image to an SVG for you so you can use it with 3D printing. It also has fine-tuning and advanced controls.
I would also like a video or link to one that teaches me how to design or take an existing design and add a space for metal ring so key chains will last longer.
Could you please do a video on using colored layers where the base layer is 2mm and the layer above us 2mm on top or added to the first layer without the second layer being printed throughout the first layer. Just 2 layers on top of the other and different colors. I find this can be a difficult thing to achieve in bambu lab. Always getting warnings and both layers sticking to the bed instead of one on top of the other.
Do you have a video on what type of computer is needed to start 3d printing? Im trying to get into the hobby your videos are awesome and extremely understandable!
Terrific information/guidance. Can you advise in the event you don't have a Bambu printer? Is this even a possibility (obvious newbie to this process). MTIA
Your videos are too good to not subscribe
Thanks for this. I was using online png to svg converters, and then the resulting svg was too much for tinkercad to load. I like being able to export layers separately. Makes sense. Could probably just skip the Tinkercad and go to Bambu slicer...
But... what do you do when you are working with an image file, and not an svg file? How do you separate it into layers?
I tried to put svgs to bambu studio without thinkercad, but studio does poor job of reading them. Your method is simplest and the best, thans a lot!
Man, I really want to make this project, but I can't find an SVG with an actual stroke outline vs just being a background shape layered behind everything sadly. Where did you find this file?
Thanks, neat video. FYI, course announcement at the end is in there twice.
🫢 oh no thanks for the look out. doesn't matter how many times you watch it sometimes things slip through the cracks sometimes…
Hi - would be awesome if you could make a video to hueforge and slicer settings to get the best prints possible
Can you show a way to make a svg from a jpeg or png I have done please? I have try on illustrator but can’t print it
Sweet video, my doughter love it, can you share the pinguin stl???
Thank you.
Are there filaments which would be food safe? I saw it being made into a cookie cutter while you were creating the ornament. Thank you for the tutorial. Glad to learn more.
Hey Chris, great tutorial bud! One question, I'm following along but am running into some issues. I'm trying to do the Jurassic Park logo, but the yellow stroke around the outside of the logo isn't just an outline like this penguin is, rather it's the entire logo. So when I export into Tinkercad and eventually Bambu nothing is seperate, it's all together
Thank you Chris, I traced a png mono color image with center line tracing (edge detection was better results but I had double lines) on inkscape, I was thinking to apply a gradient color on the stroke so that I have a peak color in the center width of the stroke (don't know how) so that when imported to tinkercad will raise according to color gradient. your result had a flat black stroke, I am trying to have a contour just like converting maps with mountains. is it possible?
Hi first time here could you tell me if it is possible to color just the top layer in all the colors instead of coloring all the way through
Thank you for this video! It helps me out a lot. The only problem is let’s take for an example if I was going to do the exact same Penguin how would I do that with the Ender 3 S1 Pro? I was also trying to do a sign for my house. Do you know like the house numbers for your home but I couldn’t get it.
It might not be exactly what you're thinking of but I've done a few "text on top" prints like light switch covers and signs. I use the filament change script in Cura. I set it to change the filament at the first layer the text will start at and let it run. It's been s but off a challenge because some printers don't work with the M0 or M600 commands. An ender thought I suspect should work fine.
You could print in peices and glue together
Will the length, height and width of the object set in Autodesk be automatically saved for 3D printing?
One tip -
You can skip the split to objects step entirely if you switch to 'objects' mode - it imports the group as an assembly, and each part of an assembly can still be colored separately.
Also, you can choose colors by pressing the numpad corresponding to the filament slot!
The numpad thing is great advice. That will save me some annoyance.
How do I pick which color in the AMS if I just want the hole thing one color.
It just wants to print from A1 no mater what I do.
Any chance you could post what site has the penguin svg used in the video?
May I ask, you have a .svg and just drop it into OrcaSlicer, you can raise it and it will print and add walls and bottom as well. Will that possibly print bad?
His way is longer and convoluted. Older slicers did not handle SVG files(so his techniques are throwbacks to that era) so you typically would need another CAD program to modify them. Bambu studio and Orca handle SVG files natively and you can do everything in slicer.
It will print fine in slicer.
Can you share the 3mf of that specific project?
Me and my buddy made a drinking game watching your videos, have to drink every time you say "HONESTLY" lol... Thanks for the content, and the buzz.
🤣😂🤣 Ha Ha! Honestly I don’t know why I say it so much… next game how many times I say actually…
You can change the color also on bambulab slicer
Can you use Illustrator instead of Inkscape? also: LOVE this vid!
can this all be done on ipads
I followed your example but the exported files don't have anything in them. I went back a couple times and can't figure out what I'm missing. I am watching this whole series and have subscribed . I appreciate it, I've learned a ton from you, this is the only thing that hasn't worked so far.
please make a course I would join your classes..
Q1... what if I want to draw my design and not use SVG ..
2. I have Bambu A1 mini and X1c.. I have 4 AmS .
Can I use other software other than Tinker Cad. like Shapr3d or Blender etc?
puedo hacerlo en una maquina de un solo color ? saludos
Down loaded the penguin to try to delete a colour, I can’t pick a single colour to delete. Any help would be welcome
Again, thanks for the video. I have tried to download and use inkscape on my Mac before. After downloading and trying to open, I get a message about extensions that I can't figure out how to get past. I will have to try to run it in Windows. Seems like it should not be this hard. I am sure I am missing something.
Shoot, I had the same issue. I googled it and there was a super simple fix, but I can’t remember what that was… it might have been to just accept… do a search for what the warning is that pops up, Cause mine works perfectly now
You can change the colors of the parts easily from the object graph view in Bambu instead of splitting them to objects.
thank you for ar very good tutorial :)
I have a problem, i followed your tutorial step by step but when i try to import to tinkercad i get this error: "imported shape is larger than tinkercads workspace limit" the size of the svg is 18225x360000 so something is wrong, maybe export settings in inkscape? i dont know what to do? please help me :)
Mine had the same issue. I had to just import it centered on the art rather than the artboard and manually align them. I was still able to successfully color & print, though! Just a bit more tedious.
man i spend hours to find this think, now listen : open your project on inkscape then select all of them and press ctrl+c to copy, after that go and open new page and set it size under 1000x1000, but be careful page must be max 1000x1000, then paste your work to this page with ctrl+v, from then you wont get any error message. please like comment and to make help other people who gets this issue.
@@saucyblossom you lose your origin with this way, just open new page and keep it under 1000x1000 :)
Since i can't afford a Bambu I do my multi color prints piece by piece and press fit or glue them together. I can only dream of the day i can get a Bambu
I'm trying to do this but the colors are not in the correct position
HELP ME YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE** the E gear on my longer lk5 pro moves but the bearing stops causing filament to stop being pushed, I've switched the bearing and upgraded to dual gear nothing works
I’m sorry about your issue. It might be your thermistor or heat coil. Is it heating up? If that’s not it I don’t know what you could do if you have already replaced the bearings. You may have to tear apart your extruder to see if anything is in there that is blocking the path.
@@ItsMeaDMaDe thank you
What if you don't have AMS?
Can't believe he didn't say "it's a penwin win"
Why not just open it in Bambu slicer and use the paint option?
Awesome Video. I have a question: As you noted, the color in your example goes all the way through. I'm trying to do something similar, but I want the back to be black like the raised part, so the parts in color (white, red, and orange in your example) are above that level. When I bring the files into Bambu Studio, it places all of the parts flush with the print bed, and I can't find how to elevate the color parts. I tried the Move tool to increase the World Coordinates on the Z axis, but it won't keep them elevated and instantly repositions them to be on the bed. Help?
What about a free ai stl?
I can only select the whole image... not the individual colors
How about on on QR Codes
why did you decide that was your look and what are your goals in looking that that.
cosplaying as his favorite pedo
Not gonna lie..
I always thought it was pronounced "It's mia D. M. a dee"
Honestly, I'm confused as to why you messed around with colors throughout the video when you have to paint it manually in Bambu Labs anyway. Seems like a waste of time.
Seems like a long way around. Another channel shows how it's done 95% in slicer. I guess it doesn't hurt to have an alternative way even if it is longer.
Do you happen to have a link? I like even easier and quicker methods!
@@SeraphEvenstar9999 just search "Bambu Studio project 2d image to 3d print"
how about we have a roll call in the comments about who DOESN'T have a bamboo/multi-material printer?)
You can always make the colored section just 0.2mm thick and then the rest black and just do the color changes manually. It’ll only be multiple colors on the first layer but that’s good enough for this type of thing
my guy why is your printer bed so nasty
You did a lot of unnecessary steps and made it look harder than it had to be. People are going to look at this and be intimidated into not doing it.
