# Fred's 3D Print Farm
|
||||
|
||||
**3D printing business configs, printer profiles, and production-ready files**
|
||||
|
||||
## What's Here
|
||||
|
||||
- **printer-profiles/** - Slicer profiles and printer configs (PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Cura)
|
||||
- **production-ready/** - Tested and approved 3MF/STL files ready for printing
|
||||
- **designs/** - Work-in-progress designs and customer orders
|
||||
- **docs/** - Documentation, workflow guides, and business info
|
||||
|
||||
## Printers
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bambu Lab A1** - Primary printer
|
||||
- Needs: Spare hotends, feed tubes (see shopping list)
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Design** - Fusion 360, Blender, or AI-generated
|
||||
2. **Slice** - Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer
|
||||
3. **Test** - Print sample, verify quality
|
||||
4. **Production** - Move to `production-ready/`
|
||||
5. **Track** - Update inventory and orders
|
||||
|
||||
## File Organization
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
production-ready/
|
||||
widget-v2.3mf (latest version)
|
||||
bracket-final.3mf (approved for production)
|
||||
custom-part-tested.stl (customer order ready)
|
||||
|
||||
printer-profiles/
|
||||
bambu-a1-pla.json (PLA profile)
|
||||
bambu-a1-petg.json (PETG profile)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Store only TESTED files in `production-ready/`
|
||||
- Keep design iterations in `designs/work-in-progress/`
|
||||
- Document settings and lessons learned in `docs/`

# Getting Started with 3D Print Farm
|
||||
|
||||
## Printer Setup: Bambu Lab A1
|
||||
|
||||
### Initial Configuration
|
||||
- Calibrate bed (auto-leveling)
|
||||
- Load PLA filament
|
||||
- Set up Bambu Studio connection
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Settings (PLA)
|
||||
- Nozzle temp: 200-210°C
|
||||
- Bed temp: 60°C
|
||||
- Print speed: 50-100mm/s
|
||||
- Layer height: 0.2mm (balanced quality/speed)
|
||||
|
||||
### Maintenance Schedule
|
||||
- **Daily:** Check first layer adhesion
|
||||
- **Weekly:** Clean build plate, check nozzle
|
||||
- **Monthly:** Lubricate rails, check belts
|
||||
|
||||
## Shopping List
|
||||
|
||||
### Spare Parts Needed
|
||||
- [ ] Spare hotend (Bambu A1 compatible)
|
||||
- [ ] Extra feed tubes
|
||||
- [ ] Nozzles (0.4mm, 0.6mm)
|
||||
- [ ] Build plates (smooth PEI)
|
||||
|
||||
### Filament Inventory
|
||||
- [ ] PLA: Black, White, Gray (1kg spools)
|
||||
- [ ] PETG: (for functional parts)
|
||||
- [ ] TPU: (for flexible parts - optional)
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Tips
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Test every new design** - Print one sample before production
|
||||
2. **Document settings** - Save successful profiles
|
||||
3. **Keep it organized** - Version control everything
|
||||
4. **Quality over speed** - Better to deliver great prints

# Printer Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
Store slicer profiles here:
|
||||
- Bambu Studio configs (.json)
|
||||
- PrusaSlicer profiles (.ini)
|
||||
- Cura profiles (.curaprofile)
|
||||
|
||||
## To Export Profiles
|
||||
|
||||
**Bambu Studio:**
|
||||
1. Settings → Export
|
||||
2. Save as `bambu-a1-[material].json`
|
||||
|
||||
**PrusaSlicer:**
|
||||
1. File → Export → Export Config
|
||||
2. Save as `bambu-a1-[material].ini`
|
||||
