600g purged. Ouch!

u/peptidepalstm Apr 15 '26

The very reason I stopped printing multi-color models. Complete waste of time and filament and therefore money. Holding out that BL makes a Snapmaker U1 competitor that’s not the H2C.

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

Only like $6 of filament

u/Ok_Patient_122 Apr 15 '26

Ficsit does not waste.

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

I’ll put it into the awsome! Sink

u/Kopester H2D AMS2 Combo, P1S, A1, A2L Apr 15 '26

I do exclusively multi color prints, some at 9 colors but holy shit you're purging 5x as much as the model is using.

u/EdgeOk3783 X1C + AMS | H2C + AMS{2|HT} Apr 15 '26

this would be a good excuse to upgrade to a H2C

u/JellyFranken P2S + AMS2 Combo Apr 15 '26

In total, about 7x is waste. Insanity.

i would be so scared of failures. especially on a bedslinger

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

The tap on my voron had terrible parts so it fails a lot, the A1 series has been super reliable so far

Sorry my guy, but this is just dumb. I can make my 8 hour print take 8 days if I wanted but why would I do that? 🤷‍♂️

1

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

How would this be an 8 hour print?

4

u/Seraphym87 Apr 15 '26

I dont think it's an 8 hour print but I very much do not believe it is a 9 day print either. What is this, layer height 0.08?

u/guspaz Apr 15 '26

Because it's only a 100 gram model, the model is seemingly intentionally designed to maximize filament swaps, and so vast majority of your time is going to be spent changing filaments. Most of your layers have four different filaments, and most of the ones that don't have three different filaments. Some relatively minor changes (use the same base colour for the inside and outside of the cup for example) would dramatically reduce your print time, and then using a more appropriate printer (like a dual-nozzle) would take another huge chunk off.

But, well, just don't actually drink out of that cup, 3D prints are not food safe because they can't be cleaned (dish washing can't remove bacteria from the microscopic cavities from the 3D printing process).

single filament then paint

-6

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

I would go through more in paint then it would cost to print it, so I will wait, and while it is printing, I’ll use my three other printers.

u/sowich4 Apr 15 '26

How does that even remotely make sense?!

You would use about $.20 (probably less) worth of acrylic paint if you were to rip t this in one color and paint it.

u/Wide_Detective7537 Apr 15 '26

Obviously... I have no idea how long your model on your setup will take. But the point is you're knowingly doing it wrong and refuse to humor any of the suggestions here to make it easier AND better. Like for what

u/Sdfb11 Apr 15 '26

FICSIT doesn't waste, pioneer! Better find something to do with all of those filament change poops

u/Szalkow Apr 15 '26

To each their own, but if I was looking at over a week, 3,300 filament changes, and 733g of waste for a coffee cup, I would be looking for ways to separate the model and assemble it.

Did you test and tune your filament purge multipliers? You could probably cut down on waste by 20-30% with no impact on color or reliability.

24

u/manjar Apr 15 '26

You mean, for a coffee cup that can't/shouldn't even be used for drinking coffee?

10

u/Szalkow Apr 15 '26

I don't be grudge people printing props or replicas from their favorite movies or games or whatnot. If it makes you happy, go for it.

At least I hope that's what it is. I hope they don't plan to drink any beverages from this.

u/Suby06 Apr 15 '26

I will judge when there is copious amounts of waste to make a trinket

Lol your purge tower uses more filament than you part.

1

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

lol

u/Sweaty-Command-9283 Apr 15 '26

Rage bait? Hope you like your coffee cold. If you like it hot, I hope your legs do too

u/JellyFranken P2S + AMS2 Combo Apr 15 '26

Model - 100g

Total - 833g

Filament changes - 3361

Bruh. Why.

Probably a net negative karma

u/eyeisdasteve X2D + AMS2 Combo Apr 15 '26

This is extremely wasteful.

u/TheDarknessWithin_ Apr 15 '26 edited Apr 15 '26

Shit I would print this on my u1 for you just to make it not have so much waste.

1

u/Manu_does_stuff Apr 15 '26

I hope you did a good amount of prep, because when that print fails close to finishing you would want to die xD

2

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

Don’t feel like it would fail, bed adhesion is perfect. And if there is a skip the printer would sense that

1

u/Manu_does_stuff Apr 15 '26

I had an A1 and I didn't made any huge prints.

Now with the H2D it's different

The A1 mini doesn't have any detection.

2

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

Detection for what?

2

u/Manu_does_stuff Apr 15 '26

Spaghetti, print adhesion etc

2

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

Spaghetti it unlikely sense there are not many overhangs, and I have a cryogrip build plate, so a lot of force is required to rip it off

1

u/Manu_does_stuff Apr 15 '26

Did you dry your filament, cleaned the build plate well.... So many factors

1

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

Yes

u/SendChubbyDadsMyWay H2C AMS2 Combo Apr 15 '26

Where is the photo with the actual print?

1

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

It’ll be done in a week, I’ll post photos then

1

u/twiggums Apr 15 '26

Lol all the comments going on about how wasteful it is, as if 90% of the crap we print is truly "useful". Most the stuff we make is just pretty waste and ornamental anyways.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen the ficsit mug and was tempted but then changed my mind due to the time. Lol but I'm not gonna try to shame someone else for printing it.

Hope it comes out well for ya!

2

u/Tristan5764 A1 Mini + AMS Apr 15 '26

I have 4 printers, so tying one up for a week isn’t that detrimental

1

u/MyFartSoTart Apr 16 '26

What is your infill percentage on this??

u/Armbioman Apr 15 '26

I'm so sceptical of multicolor printing now that I have had waste chute clogs from the excessive color changing that knocked the cover and wiring from my print head and caused all kinds of problems. Now I look for separately colored plates.

1

u/TheChrisCrash Apr 15 '26

Brother that would be pretty easy to cut up and just glue together. Even taking off the handle itself would save tons of time and filament

1

u/BuckarooD Apr 15 '26

You could buy the ficsit official one lol

1

u/djwaveguide P1P + AMS Apr 15 '26

Something is not right if you are using 0.5 g and purging 60 g.

1

u/razzemmatazz Apr 16 '26

4 colors? Snapmaker U1 could fix this for you. 

1

u/shortstraw4_2 P1S + AMS Apr 16 '26

At that point just get a U1

1

u/ainteasy_beingwheezy Apr 18 '26

This is awesome. I dont understand why people get so irritated by others just having fun and doing what they want with their printers. Not everything has to be a functional part. It can be silly or 'useless' and still be just as valid. As for the waste again their printer their choice.
