LeekSpin Meme Head Cover for BambuLab A1 Series

LeekSpin Meme Head Cover for BambuLab A1 Series.

This is an accessory that replaces the head cover of your BambuLab A1 and A1 Mini. It turns your printer into a working "LeekSpin" meme while you print. Of course you need the AMS Lite and a bunch of colours.

Colours:

Black, White, Skin, Red, Orange, Purple, Green, Light Blue, Yellow.

Parts:

• Bridge. This part will be attached to the head of the printer and holds the Background. It should match the same colour as the background.
• Background. 3 Colours. In my example, Yellow, White and Light Blue.
• Leek. (Two different versions) 4 Colours. Black, White, Skin and Green.
• Head. 4 Colours. Black, Red, Skin and Orange.
• Body. 4 Colours. Black, White, Skin and Purple.

Some files are STL and others are OBJ. The OBJ has colour info embedded in the file (as long as you have the ".mtl" file too in the same folder), so when you import the OBJ file into Bambu Studio, it will show that the mesh is already coloured (maybe some colours appear darker or lighter, you can edit that). When imported, remove or merge other remaining colours from older prints if necessary (these prints are 4 colours max). When you press print, you only need to match those colours to the AMS Lite to print each colour with the correct one.

You have to tweak some settings before printing:

• Top & Bottom penetration paint layers. Set them to 1. If you don't change it to 1, you will see some colour leaking to other layers.

• Elephant foot compensation. Set it to 0 for the head, body and leek.

• Bottom shell layers. Set it to 8 for the head, body and leek. Make sure the first layers of those models are completely solid.

I designed the character (Head and Body) with depth colour. For example, to recreate the shadows of the shirt, the first layer is purple and the rest is black. Every other colour has four layers of its own colour and the rest is black.

I warn you: If you decide to make regular prints with this meme attached to the head of your printer, the printer will pop up a warning message in the first calibration phase: "The resonance frequency of the X axis is low. The timing belt may be loose." Maybe the printer knows the vibrations are strange and shows you that message. If your prints are good, there is nothing to worry about. If you decide to make the rest of your prints without the meme attached, you won't see this warning again. So don't panic, you are fine.

(Disclaimer: my tests were 1h-2h prints and the meme holds fine to the printer, I don't know what could happen in larger print scenarios)

Have fun with this meme!
