When creating a vector, draw a bounding box, (usually square), and duplicate it on every layer around the artwork.
That way your layers will always align whatever software you are in.
Just delete them when you are ready to print.
This was excellently paced. I appreciate that you didn’t belabor every step but you talked through every step. A more detailed video might be an opportunity for a follow up, but I thought this was perfect.
Thank you! And thanks for watching! I definitely want to make a more detailed version, maybe even a series to show all the steps. I started out doing that in this video but it was getting super long so I decided cut it back and just get a good overview out to start with. More to come though!
@macymakes3d yes a series would be awesome. Just subscribed!
Printing layers in the way you did so youre not constantly purging different colors and making it more 3dish was actually an amazing idea! Love the video.
Thanks! and thank you for watching. I started layering that way mainly because I use cardboard spools in the AMS and want to have minimal color changes so that hopefully they don't break down and ruin it.
@@macymakes3d- just wondering and curious
After I got Ender 3 , I was playing . the sd card fell into 3D Printing it was on accident. I put butter knife trying to get sd card unfortunately no lucky - I did take the card from open the box apart then put together.
After that - blue screen is saying No TF CARD
What should I do next ?
@@Jakeypoo-di6hybuy another SD card and format it to work with the Ender (plenty of articles online about this).
I thought this was going to be some super neat way to go from flat image to an actual 3d object. These were still cool just not at all what I expected haha.
ya i'm with you.. but hey .. she goes a bit quick and i think if she listed the different platforms or programs she is using before she start my help a little .. the first time she was saying export i was going to where to where .. but overall a useful demonstration.. but not bad for a 7 year old "snicker" ok 12 ? 14 tops still gj
WOW!! Again process videos for 3D printing are the BEST!!! I can really tell you are teacher. Best 3D printing video I've seen in 3 months.
Excellent explanation of your AI based design workflow 👍
Excellent job showing the process.
I appreciate this video. I was just talking with someone a few days ago about how to get something from ai to print. Thank you for providing the steps so I could see it visually!
Wow awesome! I've been nerding out with AI/midjourney so I'm glad you found the process helpful. Would love to hear from you later on about how it goes if you decide to try it!
Brilliant !!! Very well done!!!!
Very useful video on how to use the tools and use Bambu Studio to create multi color designs.
HueForge would be awesome for this!! Loved your video!
Working on a hueforge video! Thanks for watching ☺️
Super cute! and great video. Lol Loved you going through all the steps thoroughly but quickly. 👍👍
These look great. Wish I seen your video sooner. I’m sure looking into this process. Thank you.
This is absolutely awesome! I'm definitely going to use this method to create some Thanksgiving and Christmas decoration. I just received my P1S yesterday and I'm having so much fun. Thank you for sharing such a thorough video!
Thanks! That's awesome, I'd love to hear how your decorations come out. The bambu machines really have made this hobby so much more fun. You can make some really cool things and really fast too. I love them.
Hey Macy, that's a great video, and thank you so much for sharing your process. Super well explained, and the end result turned out amazing ! Great job, thank you :D
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching :)
Amazing video! Can't wait to try this! That skull is amazing! Can't wait to see more videos. Thank you!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Very cool way to make some decorations. Nice video!
In 10 years of being on youtube across different accounts, I think i've left maybe 3 or 4 comments, and I rarely subscribe but this was actually a goldmine of information. Wishing you speedy success in your channel and business.
Wow thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching (and subscribing and commenting lol) ☺️
Wow! Well done! You have inspired me to try this out.
Very cool - thanks for the midjourney tip
This is too cool. You made it look so easy too. Great job!
Thanks :) And thank you so much for watching!
That was really informative and entertaining! Keep doing you
Those look fantastic! Thank you for sharing the process. ❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
New sub, looking forward to seeing more videos from you heart
Fantastic video! Really gave me some inspiration. Thank you
Awesome! Thanks for watching ☺️
Growing up I had a Shitzu named Macy. She helped me through a lot of stuff as a young lad. Although my Macy is gone now, I can rest assured that I have found a new Macy that will help me through many other problems as an old lad.
Anyways, thank you so much. This was extremely helpful. Never like or comment, however, you just added so much value. Thank you!
Wow thank you so much for the kind words. I’m so glad you’re here! Thanks so much for watching, commenting, and being apart of the journey ☺️
The best video! Thank you
Great video. I like to use Dalle3 or bing image generator. I will try these techniques for my Christmas decorations. 🍻
Haven’t tried Dalle3 but I’m definitely going to since so many have mentioned it. Thanks for watching!
I leaned so much from this video.
Great work! This seems like a great use case for HueForge, it will create an stl and you can just select in bambulab filament layer changes instead of having to create 4 separate stls aligning them manually.
Thanks! Definitely will be looking into HueForge!
That's exactly what I was thinking the whole time
Came here to say Hueforge. This type stuff is perfect for it
Awesome video / tutorial….. thank you so much for sharing.. love the channel. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much :) and thanks for watching!
Amazing. Excellent tutorial using AI from concept to print. Waiting on delivery of my Bambu Carbon with AMS. Thank you, I will be experimenting with this.
Awesome thanks for watching! Glad you liked it! Good luck with your new Bambu, they're incredible printers.
I see that you recently started again with uploading video's! Keep up the good work, thumbnails are spot on & I really like the "slow" flow of your storytelling 🙂
Thanks! And thanks for watching. I’m having a lot of fun with the videos and glad to be back so definitely more to come ☺️
great idea!
Macy: No shadows or gradients.
AI: But I LOVE shadows and gradients!!!
Hahah yes. Midjourney was not letting me get what I wanted.
I like that u did holiday stuff. Very Smart. You can see your passion in every video. Not a bad soundtrack either. Want to see you make something in 3d using ai,( stable diffusion 3d model) txt to 3d model. could be cool project. Challenge. Or making stuff In Shapr is fun too and easy to learn.
Just keeep the videos Commin! Beat that algorithm! We love to see you.
Awesome thanks for the ideas! I’ll see what I can come up with!
You’re the best hype man. I’m loving the support ☺️
Great use of AI tools. Thanks for the video. Maybe next year you can figure out how to use AI to help you create and print some three-dimensional skulls and pumpkins. That would be a great follow up to this video.
You got skills girl!
Thank you :) And thanks for watching!
Loved the video! Liked and subscribed! Makes me want a bamboo and ams .
Awesome thanks 😊 The bambu printers are amazing!
WOW! Those are really nice. DAMNNIT I want a Babu lab printer so bad!
awesome !!!
I do a lot of images like this. But i make them completely flat with a .01 height difference. Its still minimal color changes and it creates a really cool image on the first layer of the plate. Which also goes great with the PEI texture.
You need to use the --no property to add a negative prompt in Midjourney.
Yeah I remembered that right after filming 😂 Thanks for the reminder though!
Looking at the thumbnail i thought that skull was photoshopped in! Looks really good in real life. Thanks for the tutorial.
Haha glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun with this one :)
those are effin cool!
Thank you ☺️ and thanks for watching!
Amazing
Macy is so pretty 😍
Just an alternative, but you can import full size into tinkercad, export your STL, then scale the entire print inside of your slicer. You can also export a simple black and white model into tinkercad and model it in one color, and do the actual painting (easy with 1 click fill) inside of bambu studio. Great job!
New sub. Awesome content
I would love to see this process in more details. Just the tinker cad and the bambu slicer parts, if possible.
Thanks in advance.
Loved the content, subbed, can't wait for more 😬.
You got it! I'm already planning out the more detailed version. Thanks for watching :)
@@macymakes3d ❤️
this is awesome... I often just use blutac to stick my "2d" 3d printed creations on the wall!
Thanks! That's a good idea, I'm going to try velcro sometime too. Hopefully it doesn't ruin the walls lol
Great video! For some reason i was expecting the Ai to create a ready to use stl file😅.
Very nice! Boo
Cool use of AI :) To avoid realigning the STL's in Bambu my first thought was Meshmixer. It's older, free software that I use only for the purpose of combining small components that were separated for whatever reason.
Awesome thanks! I'll look into it
You could add ironing to the black parts. But great process.
Thats a very nice idea, love it! But got a suggestion… change the hight for every single color, you will save some material and the imagem will no look so flat at the face.
Great vid, love the skull 💀. If you were to create it as a full 3D skull how would you take the midjourney image and make it into a 3D object?? 🤔
Love the video Macy and so glad I found it! Exactly like something I have been wanting to do and you made it very simple to understand! Question on using tinkercad, is there a preference over tinkercad than something like Fusion 360. I have been bring people's logos into fusion 360 after turning into svg's and then extruding each layer for a different color. By the way I really love the tabs you added to hand the decorations, such a smart idea!!
Great job and I would love to see your process on multi color logos in this same fashion!
I’ve been wanting to print my logo in a multicolor stacked way so I’ll try to make a video for it when I do!
As for tinkercad, I just find it quick and easy. I started out using freeCad and fusion360 but just found myself having a faster workflow in tinkercad for the simple SVG to STL conversions. If I was doing any real 3d modeling I’d probably want to use a better cad software to be more accurate.
+1 for nicholas idea on fusion 360 svgs, I want to see you make a tutorial about it @@macymakes3d ! you are such a good and inspiring content creator! =) keep them, videos coming!
so cool! those turned out amazing. endless possibilities there. just wondering for selling these on etsy if the time taken to print just one would even be worth it? seems like you could only make 1-2 a day depending on design and not sure that would be worth charging a lot for for plastic
I think so. I list the thin, hanging ones for $15-20 and the thicker ones that can sit up on their own for $25-30 depending on the design. Pretty much everything I sell takes 4-6 hours to print so those aren’t much different there. People are paying for the art, not necessarily just the plastic.
Hi Macy, great videos thank you very much. Just curious if you only use Bambu filament or if you use other brands with the AMS? Do you ever have any issues with other brands? I'm seriously thinking about buying and X Carbon one combo kit
I don't use bambu filament. I use overture, sunlu and esun mostly. The cardboard spools can be a pain and the sunlu rolls don't retract in the AMS super well once they get under 100g on the roll but they're cheaper than bambu filament so I just deal with it.
Thank you for the reply. DO you happen to own a carbon one or do you own P1P or P1S. I am struggling with deciding which one to buy and as you know it's not chump change :) TY TY @@macymakes3d
Oh just an idea try adding a weight in the middle of the core to see if it helps once the roll gets low.
@@macymakes3d
Okay, I'm new here and definitely new to that Nifty little software that you are using.
I got a question.
You put in a bunch of "nos" such as gradients shadows and things you didn't want.
Yet it ignored that entirely and gave you color images.
If you had asked for black and white with no gradients, would it have given you the desired line drawing?
I did the “no” part wrong. I should’ve added -no to the end of the prompt and then said gradients or highlights. It’s hard to say what it would’ve given for black and white, you probably would have to say specifically to do a line drawing with black outlines on a white background.
Thank you for this walkthrough! Can mindjourney or dahl-e generage vectors already separated by colour?
No it can’t. Just pngs
That's awesome! I didn't know that you could use ai to generate photos. I want to 3d print a 3 color Harley Davidson sign for my step-dad for Christmas but I don't have an ams yet. I regret not getting it when I got my p1p. But I wasn't sure if I was going to be getting into printing as much as I did
The AMS is amazing! You could probably still get a multi color Harley print if you stack the colors and put pauses into your g-code so you can swap the colors out! I'll try to make a video soon to see if that's possible
@@macymakes3d that would be awesome, thanks!
hello macy, i did a great job with your video. thank you so much for that.
i noticed that vectorizer-ai isnt for free anymore, do you have any alternatives? greetz
Sadly no. I tried a couple different sites last week and they were all paid. I'll keep looking and update you guys if I find one!
Thanks
Wow thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
If it’s spooky and 3D printed, you know we’re gonna show up ❤ STAY SPOOKY
I love these ideas for those of us artistically challenged. Do you know if you could legally sell designs you worked with an AI to create?
Yes you can! Especially if you're making changes to the art, and I'd say 3d printing them is definitely "making changes".
Interesting :-)
That bat turned out cute.
Very nice video. This is one of the ways I refer to using AI as a tool in part of the process. You didn't just prompt it to get an image and post that image elsewhere. I see no difference in what you did and how others will use any other image search and "auto trace." I mean this in a good way, people defend one vs the other simply because of the AI boogeyman.
I don't know if you watch Uncle Jessy, but he had a video on using an AI generator for non-flat model generation, but it costs. I think it is made by Nikko and using their database to generate the print.
Thank you, and Yes! I saw that! It was cool but I’m not willing to pay that much for the “chance” it’ll generate something I can actually print. Hoping it’ll get a little cheaper/more accurate and then I’ll give it a try!
@@macymakes3d Same here. I love the tech, love the idea, but wow on the costs for a (albeit good) chance you get what you need.
You dont need a hub if you have 2 AMS’s. If you print a splitter, and connect each AMS via ptfe tube to the inputs of the splitter and have the output of the splitter going to the standard hub, you will find this works. I used this as a temporary measure until my hub arrived.
Ooh cool ok! I have a hub on the way but this seems like something fun to try. Thanks!
you dont need to have a hub to use multiple ams units. just put a splitter before the filament sensor on the back of the printer.
wow! amazing! Do you iron the top layers?
Thanks! No I don’t, just normal prints
Hueforge!!! Itll save you a ton of time and the outcome is very similar.
Looked into it today. Will definitely be trying it out and making a video very soon!
Use hue forge to save you some steps once you have your picture
Has hue forge replaced this process for you, or do you still use both?
I still prefer this method over hue forge. I feel like I have more control. I’ll only use hue forge if it’s a really detailed design that I can’t separate easily
@@macymakes3d Thanks for the reply, keep up the great content.
Are there any AI tools to do a similar thing but with three-dimensional objects?
I’ve seen a paid AI program but it’s not super consistent and too expensive for me to try out at the moment
For thanksgiving, see if you can incorporate the clock in teh design so you dont lose your clock.
The clock doesn’t work anyway but that’s a cool idea!
great work. I just need to figure out how to get to the midjourney bot DM so I can use this process too.
AI had a small role to play but it was an amazing process just the same.
I was wondering, could you put your Etsy link in your "about" section of your profile please? Also, when you get less busy, could you maybe make a video showing a beginning to end of fulfilling an entire order and all that you have to do for the entire process. I know it would help me to visualize all that goes into running a 3d printing and fulfillment business. Maybe also break down all the associated costs you incur along the way...
Yes to both of those things!
I'm a few days late but this was an AMAZING tutorial. Thank you
random, but what's the footswitch software used for
Lol I play a bit of warzone and I use it to “push to talk”
Cardboard spools in the AMS...... 😮😮😮
I know. Living dangerously
Cool! but can you make a video where you dont cut the video in illustrator? i have never used illustrator before and I want to see every step you make =)
Absolutely! Illustrator is a beast but I'd love to make a little tutorial and show that part of the process too :)
Not so borring ... only for the machines ( 2 X1 & 2 P1 ? ) .. I want the same even without any decorations :)
But for midjourney , it's the not free usage .. right ?
Do you sell these designs? I looove the skull and i waaaant it.
Yes! Here are the links for the print and also the files

Files - macymakes3d.etsy.com/listing/1586268744/skull-svg-skull-png-skull-layers-for-3d
this is why 3D printers are awesome! can't find any cool decoration on stores? just make your own!
Yes! And cheaper too! I used throw away rolls with small amounts of filament left on them which made it even better!
Haha, I'm a programmer by trade, and yet still on a daily have an issue when hearing or reading backslash or forwardslash, knowing which is which. Lol. The struggle is real
Tumb down for the AI BS .
Congrats on your own work very nice to see your working method .
That Bamboo printer sure is the next level .
Try hue forge.
Hueforge video already in the works
My proposal an 3dprint project: decorations with moveable parts so that s can change its appearance - e.g. Happy face vs Sad face
That's a cool idea! I'll see what I can come up with
Can you tell me why you sound so bored? It´s an amazing job you do for us let it please sound it like too
Why are you going through all these additional steps? First off you could have just generated the images right inside ChatGPT with Dalle3 which actually has better vector style output than Midjourney.
And since you did use Midjourney, why didn’t you just convert to svg right inside Midjourney with Tracejourney?
If you already have illustrator why not images trace in there? Illustrator and photoshop have generative fill which is like your ai image tool.
The AI vectorizer does a better job than illustrators image trace. And I’ve started playing around with adobes generative fill. It’ll be in my next video
Great video, I was a bit distracted by your vocal fry.
Didn’t know that was a thing. Had to google it. Glad you liked the video regardless lol
Its not a biggy, just an American thing lol@@macymakes3d
🧠
I think you need buy a normal printer for make flat things
1:09 do you know who is she ? she is Indian actress, Name preity zinta.
10 seconds in, I had to MUTE you!
🤷🏻♀️
i realize i'm getting old but my god, you went so fast. almost impossible to follow
why oh why are streamers, big names and ppl with community behind their back are supporting AI !? the end of small designers and artists and the community itself is to blame 😢😢😢
