Whatβs going on friends β Sam Prentice back once again! π π
In todayβs Christmas 3D-printing mega-build, Iβm taking PA1 Makerβs Gingerbread Nutcracker and scaling it to a massive 450% on the Bambu Lab H2 series β and printing TWO of them. This is a full guide to large-scale 3D printing, slicing oversized models, colour-by-layer workflows and multi-printer setups using the Bambu Lab H2S, H2D and H2C.
Both giant 450% nutcrackers now guard my fireplace and front door β and each one used nearly 10 kg of Polymaker PLA. π¬π§΅
