How to make dual color coasters in Fusion 360 // Bambu Lab AMS Tutorial

🌟 Transform Images into Multicolor Coasters Using Bambu Lab AMS | DIY 3D Printing Tutorial
Hey everyone, welcome to Markury! In today's DIY 3D printing tutorial, I'll guide you through the fascinating process of transforming images into sleek, multicolor coasters using the Bambu Lab AMS. This method creates coasters that are completely flush and smooth on the same layer, featuring a simple blank backside. Let's dive into this creative journey!
What You'll Learn:
- Image Selection: Starting with a vector image is key. If you only have a raster image, I'll show you how to convert it into an SVG file using Adobe Express.
- Utilizing Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape: Discover how to prepare your image on a 100mm canvas, ready for 3D printing.
- Exporting as DXF: I'll walk you through exporting your design correctly, ensuring your units are set right.
- Crafting in Fusion 360: Watch as we create a new sketch, insert our DXF file, and start building the coaster layer by layer.
- Intricate Extrusion Techniques: Learn how to selectively extrude parts of your design to achieve the multicolor effect.
- Slicer Settings: I'll take you through setting up the print in Bamboo Studio, including aligning multiple parts and selecting colors.
- Final Printing Tips: Gain insights into choosing the right build plate and adjusting layer height for a perfect print.

This is the one random video no one else made. Thanks dude.

[@KoehlerTobi]

Just export all components as steps file at once. Is also perfect selectable as objects in Bambu/orca

[@Phantium]

Nice tutorial, thank you for sharing!

[@markorautavesi1219]

Thank you for the helpful and effective instructions.

[@W.Keeling]

thanks for this

[@strapoflex6578]

Great Video , how can i make a text with textures ? i need a text and this must have a zebra texture to print it on a coaster ? Thanks for help .

[@josefdahari]

Wow I literally just asked this question 🤣 thanks dude

[@Markury]

Thanks for watching! I actually saw your comment and that’s why I made this video :) Happy printing!

[@josefdahari]

@@Markury thanks so much now I'm trying to figure out how to add a QR code to the back of the coaster for instance I generated one but when I slice it it disaapears.

[@josefdahari]

@@Markury mind you I'm trying to do this in Bambu studio importing the QR code either STL or SVG

[@8416mac]

what would it entail to make it double-sided on bambu lab?

[@yerssonsupelano9394]

Disculpa cuando son mas de 4 colores como se hace?

[@matt_arnold]

Why does my cursor change when I click on the eye to unhide the sketch from an arrow to an arrow with a little white dot? I can’t then select the sections to colour…

[@josefdahari]

Quick question if I wanted to add a QR code to the back of it for instant. I'm trying to get this to work and can't seem to have it show up after sliced. What am I missing

[@Markury]

Adding a QR code can be a bit more challenging to accomplish in Fusion 360, so I would try it out in Bambu Studio. After you assemble the pieces, if the the design is gone after you slice it, you may need to move the design up/down in the Z axis a little bit so it’s peeking through the surface just a tiny bit. If that doesn’t work, I would look at the assembly in the objects viewer and cut (ctrl + X) the first body in the list, then paste it back into the assembly (ctrl + V) so that it appears at the end of the list. In some situations, only the last body in the assembly (the one closest to the bottom in the objects viewer) generates toolpaths when it’s intersecting a larger body. I assume this is a bug with Bambu Studio, as it has been happening for quite a while and seems to be becoming more prevalent. I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any more questions. Happy printing!

cool, but you could just d&d the svg into BS, split it and color everything.
