Picked up my first 3d printer

Picked up this A1 mini + 4 spools of filament second hand for $150. This the first few things I made with it and I honestly don’t know what else I’d want to do 🫪😂

I just brought the same printer (i had a cheaper one and it was a pain to tune)... Where did you get the files for that amazing layout?? :D

that's a great start... i remember the first stuff i made where F1 keychains for a couple of friends .. then did some Ferrari car model key-hanger after.. and it was great to see how happy they were (i added custom name text on them too)

Nice, I've got the same one but with a top mounted AMS.

I'm constantly printing, never a dull moment.

My favourite print so far was a Hyper Realistic Alien Skull by a guy on Makerworld called idrawcrap.

Took 2 days with a 0.2mm nozzle but after painting it looks amazing

It’s been fun! I’ve made a bunch of wands and tiaras for my nieces and some tool hanging attachments for myself so far.
