HI, can I sugggest that you only use it for top 2 or 3 layers of the supports, or where the support contacts with the model, saves a lot of PVA filament and money and has same clean break effect What temo do you print bambu PVA at
That here is the excellent suggestion. I had this video on TikTok (short) somebody made a similar comment. PVA being expensive as it is, this sort of method would definately save people material.
wasnt thare also an option that only the toughing part of the support was pva so that you dont waist as mutch of the pva becaus i tryed to find that but i cant find the settings anny whare anny more
Could you use your regular PLA (or print material) for supports and this PVA for just the interface? It would still work the same way right? You’d just have the supports in the water too but separated from the model? I haven’t ever used any support material (besides an intentional print with the sample that came with my Bambus 😆)
Hey there, within your slicer settings you can choose to have finer detail by choosing lower layer heights. You can also change your printers nozzle to lets say 0.2mm instead of regular 0.4mm. Just beware it will drastically increase the print time. And yes PLA is fine.
@WouterZtube I have an old resin printer from anycubic which is the Photon S, I never got to use it because I couldn't find 99% Isopropyl locally back then. Now I have access to it, I am planning to give it a shot....I doubt it will give better quality than modern resin printers like the Saturn 4 Ultra or an FDM printer like the X1C....

what temp do you use because ,ine crystolises and gets knocked out by the next pass
@grahamwhitehead5629 can't remember, but when making thay print I used Bambus recommended setting.
If I had a 2 extruder printer I would definetly buy it for the interface layer, it would be absolutlly magical

Look at 1:50 . There is the option for „Support raft/interface“ .
That‘s your setting.

Should be able to yes. Also please do not forget to dry the filament if you're planning on using the AMS prior to printing.
That sounds like it would be a lot cheaper, faster to print, and faster to dissolve after. I cant see any down sides!
That kind of works. It doesn't stick all that well to PLA. Printing the entire support out of PVA is definitely the easier route
Hi, I'm interested to print 1/4 sized figures, would PLA be a good choice for small details?

A resin printer would probably be a better choice😅
@@3DPrintedProject oh sweet! I am planning on buying an X1 Carbon for my hobbies.

@ FDM can result in good prints. My X1C prints amazing, but for small details resin is more accurate.
