Taking a break from the print farm to enjoy some time in Jamaica. 🌊🇯🇲 “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” 😉 The printers will still be there when I get home. #Jamaica #LifeBalance #JDPRINTLAB

⚾ The Sports Collection starts now! First up: the Cardinals badge reel, printed on the X2D with SUNLU Red PETG. Had to start with the home team. Who’s next? NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, or college? Drop your team below! 👇 #3DPrinting #BambuLab #X2D #STLCardinals #JDPRINTLAB

Spoiler: It’s not. 😑 Thought I finally had the P2S fixed. I didn’t. Back on the bench we go… At this point we’re either fixing it or rebuilding the whole printer trying. 😂 #3DPrinting #BambuLab #P2S #MakerWorld ⸻

🇺🇸 Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸 Wishing everyone a safe and memorable Independence Day filled with family, friends, and gratitude. Thank you for being part of the JDPRINTLAB journey. God Bless America! ❤️🤍💙 See you back in the print farm tomorrow. #JDPRINTLAB #FourthOfJuly #US

New roll. New calibration. Dialing in Polymaker High Speed Pink PETG on the X2D today. It takes a little extra time, but consistent prints are worth it. Do you calibrate every roll, every color, or only when switching brands? #3DPrinting #BambuLab #Polymaker

The P2S is officially in pieces. 🛠️ Replacing the eddy sensor, cooling fan, and hotend heating assembly in hopes of finally solving the color-swap jamming issue. Sometimes being a maker means being the repair tech too. 😂 #3DPrinting #BambuLab #P2S

Started this print last night before bed but forgot to change up the supports. PETG with PETG support = nope. Try again tomorrow. @BambulabGlobal @starwars @sunlu

Designs are never really finished—they just keep getting better. Today’s update: ⚾ Cardinals Light Box 🏒 Blues Light Box Added dedicated power cord routing and made LED installation much easier. Sometimes the smallest design changes make the biggest difference. #3DPrinting

Can’t find exactly what you want? Design it. Print it. Test it. Repeat. 🖨️ Just finished a custom TPU straw tether on the H2C using the AMS HT. Really happy with how it turned out. Next up: clear TPU. 👀 #sunlu #TPU

Made it to 72%… Then Mother Nature said, “Nah, not today.” 🌩️⚡ Power outage = one unfinished print and another excuse to hit “Print” again. The life of a maker. 😂 #3DPrinting #BambuLab #MakerWorld

I’ve been working with @BambulabGlobal support for 6 weeks trying to fix a P2S extruder that jams during color swaps. New extruder. Multiple replacement parts. More troubleshooting. Installed the latest part today… and another component broke. #BambuLab #3DPrinting #MakerLife

PLA interface layers between Petg raft and model for a cleaner separation. Overall happy with the turn out. I’m going to make some small changes to the layers lines and supports. I used @sunluofficial white PLA for the interface and white Petg for the model. @BambulabGlobal

When the printers decide to fight back. IYKYK. @BambulabGlobal

Had a friend ask if I could print a dragon for their kiddo. Said sure not a problem. 4 hour print turned into a 24 hour print due to my P2S Extruder problems. Ugh. They aren’t always as easy as they look @BambulabGlobal @sunluofficial
