- Welcome back everyone. This video will cover how to make flush press fit style tops, lids for your models using Mesh Boolean tools. Getting these techniques in our toolkit will help with further projects down the line.

You make some of the most practical and informative videos for Bambu studio. Thank you for all of the invaluable teachings!
My pleasure! I hope everything was easy to follow even with my in video mistakes. Lol.
SO cool!! The best training video I have seen, to date. Thank you so much.
Please continue with the Bambu Lab videos, I'm trying to learn everything I can. I am new to this 3D printer and the way you teach it I understand it so easily and clearly, thank you very much for the info, don't stop.
You got it! I do appreciate the watch and comment too. Every bit of encouragement and feedback helps me know if I am headed in the right direction for topics, content pacing and general interest. Thank you. 😁
Super video, easy to understand and very practical. Very timely for me as a friend just asked me to make a cap for a push-to-talk switch. The cap is a solid rectangle with a Cutout and a pin in the middle. It requires the CENTER OPTION to keep the pieces aligned as U build the part, just like UR video. THANKS David.
Excellent! Funny how things workout like that.😊 I hope the project goes well..
Good one!
Thank you. 😊
🤘BITCHIN🤘
😁 LOL. Indeed.
God stuff, thanks! Anything that can be done in the slicing software is good!
I don't know if it is making me lazy(or efficient😁) but just like my videos I just want to get right to it with the fewest steps. Lol. Thanks for the watch and comment.
Awesome... thank you Sir 👍👏👏
So nice of you. I do appreciate it.
Outstanding training. This video is very easy to follow and to understand what you are doing. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Even with my mental glitches I try to show the whole process. 😉
Excellent vid
1. Is there anyway to Bevel Outside or Inside edges on a cube in Bambu Studio?
2. Could you show example of adding a pin in the center of the hole created in the first cube? The pin is necessary to align/hold the cube into another object. The cube will be a cap over a push button switch.
3. Can you show how to create a concave or convex shape on top of the cube?
Basically I am talking about creating key tops for a special keyboard layout that I have!
Thanks David
Hello. You could certainly bevel an edge it would be a kludgy way of doing it in slicer. Full cad programs would give more tools and flexibility.
You are basically using negatives/mesh boolean to make them.
I will try to create a short video making some things in slicer. may take a bit of time as I will either need to make it from scratch, or find stl files and modify them.
Good stuff as usual, thanks! I love being able to do most of my work in BS. The big thing that keeps me on Fusion is I'm a sucker for fillets 😅 If BS added a way to fillet edges, I would be so happy!
Also, making these would be a good way to calculate your machine's perfect X-Y hole compensation so that you don't have to scale down your extra pieces for the perfect fit.
Hey hey. You comment was sitting in limbo on my side. idk why..
A full fledged CAD program has way more tools to work with and I hope Bambu is watch,/listening and implementing some more advanced tools.
You are correct in using these as a a quick way to check tolerances.
So much easier than what I've been doin, trial and error to get tops to fit. I was doing the top with a projection into the box.
!This is the Way
Awesome. Before I dove into mesh booleanI had a annoyingly complex way of doing it. Thank you.
This is exactly what o needed! I’m making an end cap for a 2.5inch duct on a dust collector in my dads workshop
Talk about decent timing. 🙂. Thank you very much for the kind words and support.
Can I ask how you get such a smooth top surface on the lids (or any print) What setting are you using? I assume you are using a bambu printer? Thanks in advance!
Yes(you can ask) and yes(I use a bambu lab printer). 😁So I wish I can say I did anything special but this was all default settings. Thank you for the question.
There are settings to help smooth out top surfaces called ironing. If you are running into issues.
You can find it under the *quality settings* , *Ironing*
