So, things about support material. 1) if you design something, try designing it in a way where you can print it with as little support as possible, meaning, design the backing plate to be flat or have angles that are 45° or steeper. 2) when slicing, be aware that not everything needs supports and bridging is possible. I don't know what slicer you use but in most slicers you can enable things like "don't support bridges" or something like that. You can also use custom supports where you paint the areas where you want supports to be generated. 3) look at the settings of the support material. So the things like which kind of support, the spacing of the lines within the support and most importantly the Z offset spacing between the top layer of the support and the part. There should be a spacing because more space between the support and part means that the support is easier to remove. Too much space leads to worse surface quality though, so it's good to test and tweak. I would also recommend making test prints that tell you the overhang angle, bridging length, tolerances and other stuff you can use for your printer, filament and movement speed combination. Generally, place supports only where needed, try to print the part in the correct orientation, make sure your printbed is level, try to design parts to be suitable for 3D printing and try to use as little support material as possible. Also, the multitool case thing would have been much better printed on the back since then it shouldn't have needed any supports. And with the correct z offset of your printer nozzle (in the printer settings, generally in the same settings as bed leveling) and the right elephant foot compensation, the surface quality of the first layer should be as good if not even better than the top layer. It just has the surface of your build plate. Hope that helps. I don't have a bamboo lab printer so I don't know the specifics of the printer. But most things are very similar and when using the correct preset for your printer, you can use pretty much any slicer you want, since they are also generally pretty similar.
Tgat first design is cool but it scares me on a personal level XD The 3rd one is my favorite: a lid to protect my camera lens? That I could work with haha. The sliding ones look good too, actually. I just tend to hoard...chonkier items XD
It's a pretty tight fit because the files they released is from the injection mold, it's not really made to print! The single redeeming quality of this phone was the release price, it's really a lot of phone in that perspective. The modularity is barely even a gimmick. And while sure, having the battery being easily replaceable seems like it'd be a great thing, they've already pretty much given these phones a lifespan of 2 years. After that, no regular updates, no security updates. It is however almost certainly a case study in the first few AI driven marketing campaigns, gotta give em that.

you can use the Bambu support interface material as a second filament to make supports easy to remove
The modular sliding system is makes it like swiss knife
@@mutasimahmed8975 yeah! It's pretty cool idea
Wew that was some nice stuff
