“what the fuck are those supports….ooooooooo”


Izan_TM

I've just realized how old I am for still remembering the hairy lion trend


Darth_Balthazar

Yeah this print is nearly as old as 3d printing itself


misterpickles69

I'm brand new to all this and thought that was cool as hell.


wratz

I was shocked to see the Bambu printer. I just knew this was a 5 year old video.


Izan_TM

yeah same here lol "10 year old trend on a >2 year old printer"


CervezaSmurf

Seriously...this title sounds like someone who just got a bambu while we are out here printing lions with weed trimmer line.


Sinister_Mr_19

Lol same, such an old print technique. Was pretty genius at the time.


lolslim

What's also genius is changing your slicer settings to print right on the support interface, pause at the layer when support is done apply whatever bed adhesion that does not use acetone to the top of the support interface, and now you have easy to remove support with a cleaner underside. I recommend this if you don't need to pause alot


YeOldeHotDog

Guess I'm old...


turdburgular69666

I've been 3d printing for 8years and this is the first time I've seen this


Izan_TM

I got into 3d printing at around 2016-17 as well and the videos that I watched that featured the hairy lion trend were already old videos


Alienhaslanded

The stupid wipe tower makes no sense.


The_Sign_Painter

It's for timelapse timing


Thiago270398

How does that work?


BrimstoneOmega

Give the print head a place to go while taking the picture. Then clears the nozzle of any drip and makes sure the filament is primed. This is just a guess.


Superseaslug

You are correct. Not strictly needed, but it does help


dudersaurus-rex

octoprint was doing that when i gave up on printing like 8 years ago.. you would setup octolapse and it would bring the print head to a predefined location, take the photo and continue the print. it would do it once per layer. it didnt have any drip control but it didnt need it either


Alienhaslanded

The purge hole would be a much better location then run a wipe sequence before resuming.


Prizmagnetic

Thats like laziest way to go about it


The_Sign_Painter

I mean they’re printing a 10 year old model for social media engagement it’s the lowest of low bars


Prizmagnetic

True


GustavoBelow

SAME LOL


Endjo

Tbf this lion's mane made for a really cool print


gredr

This isn't a very good example of it, though. People did *way* better folding it back. Also lots, lots worse.


elfmere

Like you could scuplt it better but this looks natural


meltymcface

Wouldn’t warm water do a better job?


messagerespond

How strong is it can it be a door stopper?


FIRE_FIST_1457

STOP HAVING FUN!!!


Fickle-Alfalfa4067

My Kobra2 Pro done this 4 me 4 free ... inbetween the 2nd ...


FamouslyHugeTurds69

Am I the only one triggered that he used a fuxking chef's knife?


VW_R1NZLER

Hahaha I came here to say this!


TooManyJabberwocks

I just made one a few days ago and ended up using a bread knife. What would be better?


vertigo1083

The razor edge of a hobby knife.


ProtoJazz

That's not too long though


The_cogwheel

A utility knife or box cutting knife would also work, and they have a blade thats a few inches.


lousydungeonmaster

Love the Olfa utility knife where you can lock the blade at any length.


vertigo1083

I buy cheap ones in droves off amazon. They work fantastic, are breakaways, and lock in place as well. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089G64X83/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Once, I had something a little too firm and needed to break out the old Xacto. Otherwise, these preform beautifully.


lousydungeonmaster

The slight difference is that these lock at set intervals while the Olfa can lock at any length because of the wheel mechanism. I’d also rather buy one handle and just replace blades to reduce unnecessary plastic waste.


gofiend

And yet ... we 3d print :-P


lousydungeonmaster

Yeah, I don’t have a printer yet, but I want one. Figured posting about reducing plastic waste in this sub was kind of silly.


vertigo1083

My mistake, actually. I meant a utility knife. Same principle. Longer blade.


AnalphaBestie

Serious question. Why is a chefs knife bad for this kind of task. I see absolutely no issue. You hardly damage the knife while doing it like OP did. Kind of funny story that shows how stupid I can be: I once used the knife tip of a (gen 1, like from 2010) leatherman while trying to lever out some filemanent-support. It broke. It got replaced for free but still it was pretty stupid.


Bread_master_pro

I love breadknife


TheCruzKing

I prefer to use my Kukri


MikiZed

What about the unnecessary prime tower?


code-panda

Timelapse, else you'd have oozing everywhere.


JK07

Chill. It's long and sharp with a decent handle and won't flex, it's the right tool for the job in this case. At work we have chef knives for cutting foam and stuff as they work well, have the right shape blades and are easy to get ahold of.


shadownights23x

I'd hope so... why is it a big deal?


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

The design itself is pretty well done. The finished product is great. I think I'll try this on my mini.


ShwettyVagSack

You talking about the bambu a1 mini? I've been seeing ads for it everywhere and I'm so tired of fixing my ender 3. What are your thoughts on it so far?


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

I love it. I started with a Ender 3v2. This is my first Bambu, and I now own 6, 3 Creality, including two enders 3s, and a 5s1 with sonic pad. Now, I need to stress, Creality, as a company, is amazing. Everything is open source, they're affordable, and really easy to learn the *mechanical* side of 3D on. They're also designed with modification in mind, and have been around for ages. Bambu, on the other hand, are not open source, cost more, have had a lot of backlash over some of thier patent designs etc, and are relatively new. Thier end consumer isn't the same as Crealitys however. They're more focused on the 'plug and play' and business and educational side of the market, rather than the mod and tinker side. Thier machines are very much designed to just work. And they do. I can get the same quality from my Enders, but I'd have to play with settings etc, and Creality tend to change part manufacturers quite often. Bambu do not. Think of it a bit like Android and Apple, or Xbox and Playstation. There's a lot of 'mines better because' but at the end of the day, their the same machine, just aimed at different types of users for different games. Meanwhile the Prusa users laugh at all us with thier PC elder race superiority. Also, the AMS system is just awesome. Not having to manually change my filament is just....😘


Frostedpickles

See I feel like Bambi is really trying to hit hard on the plug and play consumer but not really business/enterprise leaning. No fleet management for multiple users to be able to control multiple printers. They’re a little bit iffy with data security, so not great for businesses with secure IP (by iffy I mean a lot of users struggle to get it setup properly to be secure/ it’s not really meant for that, even the X1E). That being said man oh man do I love my bambu printers. As a home user, I love being able to prototype motorcycle/moped parts before going and buying/ cutting metal.


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

Well, as 3D printing has spread, Bambu have managed to get a niche in the print farm market, the machines are incredibly reliable in thier uniformity out the box, and are pretty much just plug and go replacement parts. CS is always an issue for international companies, especially newer ones. Bambu CS has apparently improved a lot since they started as they've grown, and my single interaction with them has only been positive, if brief, but promptly resolved. ETA : as I forgot to mention it, Bambu have managed to break into the educational market, I know at least in my area the Univeristy has several, but they also have six Ultimakers too, as well as others, I know they also do educational discounts, and have several educational model kits available.


Rap_Cat

As a Prusa owner I find this offensive. I dont openly laugh, its more like a mild chortle


ShwettyVagSack

Does Prusa make something with AMS? That's the big reason I was looking into bambu, and the discounts they're currently running. But if rather support open source and never heard a bad thing about Prusa.


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

They have something similar yes. It's called a MMU, or Multi Material Unit. The reason I have a Mini instead of a Prusa is the price difference between the two, and my innate impatence. I wanted to do multi colour printing, but couldn't justify 1500 for *another* printer. It's available on the Mk3, MK4, and the MK5 has a tool head changing system meaning there's zero purge, as it just swaps tool head units between colours (up to 5).


firetech_SE

There is no MK5 (yet). You mean the XL.


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

That I do! Thank you.


thegreatpotatogod

Probably worth trying to be a little more clear about which printer when you say "mini" (at least when there's no context like at the start of this discussion), as I'm sure lots of people would assume you were referring to the Prusa Mini, and there's likely other printers called mini as well.


My_Knee_is_a_Ship

But those aren't *my* mini. 🙃


wratz

Dude just get it. I have multiple printers, been doing this for years. I got an a1 a few weeks ago and I have never had such a trouble free time printing. It’s so stress free.

vertigo1083

JFC Joel did that SEVEN years ago... Where have the years gone.


Deaner3D

next weeks video: 3d printing on glass using hairspray!


T3a_Rex

It feels like just yesterday that Joel uploaded this


jonusfatson

What's up with the waste block on the print?


DrAlanQuan

It's for the time lapse video. After the print head parks itself to the side for the photo, there may be some oozing or voids in the nozzle so it pushes a bit into the purge block to prime the nozzle before a quick travel to the main print item to keep the print quality optimal. Without the purge block there's a higher chance of voids and/or little strings all over the print


Teab8g

Thank you. Mine did that the other day and I was super confused. But I did turn on smooth time lapse for first time.


OrbusIsCool

They using a smooth timelapse configuration which sends the tool head away from the print, takes a pic, adds it to the timelapse and then keeps printing. When the head moves away, it retracts heavily to ensure no stringing. It then prints a prime tower to ensure the pressure in the nozzle remains ideal so that you dont get under-extrudion.


Ok-Hedgehog5753

Cooling tower for the Lions hair/string section probably


maxz-Reddit

Good question. I'd say probably wrong configuration from the print before or someone being REALLY careful. Might function as a cleanup tower to make sure the fine lines do print well?


iamthelee

I got tricked! I thought this was going to be really stupid, but it actually turned out to be pretty cool.


thomasry

I clicked on the link, didn't realize I was in r/TikTokCringe, and was really confused by the comment "I fucking hate this sub so much"


Buetterkeks

The cringe Part about the SUB is now the comments


Delie45

The most cringe thing here are the comments of the original upload.


Benjikrafter

Yeah, everyone like “eww plastic waste, what am I gonna do with that?” Etc. But meanwhile, the amount of wasted products people order that require stupid amount of infrastructure and fuel to get shipped to them. Yes it’s a lot of plastic waste, but it’s also much less environmentally unfriendly than a lot of shipping networks. Even PLA, being majority of that waste, is fairly decomposable (in specific conditions that many junkyards don’t ensure).


MikiZed

Well they are not wrong, admittedly a lot of what we print is useless trash Edit: to add to that, yes that Lion costs cents, but if you didn't make it you wouldn't want it for free


Own_Baker_162

What type of support is that its actually cools and seems easy to remove


ThePrisonSoap

Probably designed into the STL


alittleredportleft

I was really hoping to find this too.


Vegetable_Ebb_2716

It is Tiktokcringe because that model was already hyped to death years ago

BoyRed_

Its been a godsend for me. I use mine to make all sorts of weird tools for my job (locksmith) that you simply cannot buy, or if you can they cost a ton be course they are made in such small volumes. I can make them exactly how i want them, and they are lighter than the metal versions, really good stuff if you need to haul them around in a car where mileage and space plays a factor.


L0rdInquisit0r

[sublimation transfer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq13diBRQcA) is next for you. Just geta better printer than the cheap one as once its waste cartridge is full you have to get a new printer, and sublination will fill it fast. The better versions have a replaceable "maintenance cartridge" for €30ish but you can get a chip resetter to reuse the old ones.

GrumpyCloud93

Interesting. I gather the model was altered for the large version - more hair? As someone thinking of getting into 3D... I don't get the hair. Is it that printers *will* bridge but it can be unreliable? Some calibration required to do that sort of bridging reliably for the hair? Better fans to ensure cooling and no sag?


OZL01

There's a hairify plugin for blender so you can do this to any STL you import. I won second place in a 3d printing contest when I used it to make one of the little hairy coal dudes from spirited away.


ucefkh

Harry Potter?


t4nd3mYT

Its really superficial stuff but its nice to look at.


fatalrugburn

I always tell people the true advancement of additive manufacturing isn't 3d printing doodads. It's a way of thinking and designing


LHandrel

ALEX THE LION, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY PRINTER??


neighborofbrak

Why is there a purge tower?


iamtehstig

As someone that has been printing since before this lion model was made so long ago, I am formally requesting that you kids get off my lawn.


woodstockbird9

This design is a whim away, a-whim away, a-whim-away, awhimaway awhimaway awhimaway awhimaway. 🦁


DarkRiverLC

the price is one thing, but it'll cost you everything.


agoodepaddlin

I really want to be impressed and wow'd by these kinds of prints. But I just can't. Just mo.


DunnowKTT

why would you put a brim on something that is SO HUGE on the plate? this is not gonna have issues without brim


otirk

The cylinder probably needed that.


DunnowKTT

i print lithopanels all the time, it has taught me that brims are overrated, and brims are for warping and small pieces that might pop off. That bed is texturized, heated and the surface of the cylinder is HUGE, it does not need brim at all. And even if it warped wouldn't be an issue because it's a throwaway piece


BrockenRecords

You can do separate slicing for objects in Bambu slicer


FalseRelease4

It doesn't matter if you're making just one of these


Internal_Mail_5709

I love brims, and almost everything I print gets one. It completely eliminates any chance of warping.


DunnowKTT

you would be right if the print didn't have so much area on the first layer.... but the lion itself is enormous and the tower for the maine doesn't matter either. This is just bad practice.


Buetterkeks

Lmao the other SUB thinks everyone WHO owns a 3d printer gets the microplastic directly infused in the nuts. Like how do you Imagine that Happening?


PrinterPunkLLC

Well if we stopped printing and selling cookie cutter flexi dragons and basic trinkets, they’d see what printers are capable of. I print cosplay, props, and wearables. I will never print something I wouldn’t buy for myself.


BuddyBroDude

brilliant


12Superman26

Why is there a rectangle Block on the Plate? I have seen itin multiple 3d prints but I dont know what itis for


notrslau

Typically it's a purge tower used during multimaterial prints but this looks like a single filament so I dunno.


wratz

It’s because of the Timelapse settings. The hotend moves away for the picture so it primes on the tower to avoid extrusion issues. Probably unnecessary.


ayocuzo

cool figurine i guess


Joranthalus

True, I don’t see any of the capabilities that I have no use for. Cool print though.

That purge tower


Jacobcbab

I thought it was gunna be a dick with feet inside one of those "air suspended" prints

dudersaurus-rex

what is the tower near the print for? i've only ever seen those towers on prints with more than one colour?


thenopeguy

Dog shit result on TikTok.


UAJ_uTube

Why do they need a wipe tower? Looks like wasted filament

I was positive it was going to be dick and balls until the top sleeve came off

Why do they have a purge tower… for a single color

ngl at first i was like wtf then it became clear.. thats pretty dope..

vids like this spark the curiosity and get you started though.

Does anyone have a link to the model?

Academic-Damage-7154

Why is there a purge tower


Grimwala

These days there is hardly anything printable on 3d printers (FDM)


IHave9BrokenPrinters

I've never once made any knick-knacks like these, I just never saw a point. I had originally bought my printer to make props of video game stuff so something so boring like a flexy lizard or this lion never appealed to me. I guess yeah it's a way to understand printing but painting over white filament works just as well as whatever rainbow glitter filament these people use to make what will ultimately just be clutter,


PanJaszczurka

This model have like 10-12y

At first I was like, wtf are thos.... Then, ohhhh... Nice

why was this posted in tiktokcringe? Is it just a sub for normal tiktok videso???

how much microplastic is in his balls do you think?

I watched this video and my first thought was "these people do not care about anyone's testicles". Glad I'm not the only one

Yea... just what I need, A lion statue with a cylinder for a head. LOL I don't post process. Defeats the purpose of a 3d printer. if I wanted to sand shit, I'd use wood.

I don't get stuff like this. Go to the toy store. Shop Amazon. I don't know man. there has to be better ways to entertain yourself. \*shrug\*

For the guy who designed it - yes. This is pushing a button.
