Loving these snowman, need to try printing the giant ones. This was my first attempt and I'm going to try using the sweater design for the chest and multi colored hat.

that is pretty cool, did you paint it?
No paint.
so the machine does it all? Make a video of it

ok so where does the colour come from?
In this case, I printed pieces in different colors and glued it together. But I can print multiple colors at once, it is a lot slower and it wastes material as it has to purge every color change and something like the snowman is like 300 color changes.
So if the model takes 1hr and 20g of plastic to print, printing multi color all at once might make it take 6hrs and 100g of plastic. Many models are made in pieces for this purpose.
ah I see very nice! It is good fun that printer for sure!
What printer do you have?
Bambu X1C with AMS
Multi-filiment printer? I haven't tried those yet. And I 'assume' the arms were printed separately?
Yes I can print multi colors but I printed these separately and glued them. 99% of the time that’s better.
is that a 3d printed snowman?
yes
awesome, that is so amazing!
you do great work
I'm only printing models someone else created.
Ah okay they did a great job
