This is the home stretch!

This is my first build and it’s been quite a journey. After having a ton of problems with the headrest cushion, I’ve been dreading finishing up the bigger seat and back cushions. I’ve since upgraded to 0.6mm nozzles, which should be a REQUIREMENT for this project. I’ve spent the whole day calibrating and finally bit the bullet and kicked off the monster 12 hr multimaterial print (PLA supports) on my U1. Wish me luck!

Great build, the yellow background on the lettering is a really nice touch.

Did you print all the PETG parts on the U1? - How do you like it ( might have asked this before - I’m asking everyone..lol ) Looks great and what CMOD said - the colored lettering looks great, that had to be the U1.

And 12 hours later. PLA support interfaces worked out great!

Haha, yeah, I think you asked. I love the U1. It’s reliable enough to be my daily driver. I printed all the large parts (wings, wheel mount, storage, wheels, etc.) on the U1. All the TPU 95A parts were printed on the U1 as well. Multi-material supports is a game-changer. I printed the smaller parts, like the handles, on the Core One. I printed the 98A tires on the MK4S.

Thanks again - the cushions look fabulous.

Nice! I use tpu supports with .32 top and bottom Z gap. I paint them on to be as minimal as possible, like yours.

I’ve never tried to put supports between the holes. I’m going to have to figure out how to do that. The spacers will work on the bottom holes, but the top holes are angled, NG. But if supports on the holes work, there is no reason for spacers.

Do you have your project files for the Snapmaker somewhere that is accessible?

I use default/snug and paint them in the holes.

I do not. My project file is somewhat of a mess and I have multiple versions spread across 3 printers. Here are my critical settings for the cushions:

layer height: 0.3mm
sparse infill: 2% (gyroid)
wall loops: 3
support: normal (manual) snug. I did manual support painting, highlight 45° overhang and bucket painted.
support interface: PLA
support interface speed: 30mm/s
top/bottom Z distance: 0
top/bottom spacing: 0
interface pattern: rectilinear
wipe tower filament: PLA

Don’t forget to manually paint your seams along the back of the cushion.

I have started doing mine like this on the X2D, but using PLA for the support material. Works great!

Just finished my last piece. Hardware kit will arrive tomorrow. Perfect timing for weekend assembly!

Finally finished my first build. Some issues and lessons learned.

  1. The push handle braces cracked when installing. I’m reprinting with 102% size to attempt to compensate.
  2. The wheels are “bumpy”. Not sure what the cause is.
  3. 0.6mm nozzles should be listed as required. They save a crap ton of time! Need an official 0.6mm 3mf print profile.
  4. 3 walls are critical, especially for the TPU cushions.
  5. Adhesive spray is a great safety measure. I used 3DLAC.
  6. The push handles need painted supports at 25%, 50%, and 75% up or they sag from the weight.
  7. Always pay attention to seams before printing.
  8. The footplate is best printed as one piece. You’ll get print quality issues for the overhangs, but it’ll be at the back where nobody sees it. I wasted a TON of filament trying to dial in the front half.
  9. Not everything in the 3MF needs to be printed.
  10. Toolchangers (or multi-nozzle) is great for multi-material supports.
  11. Having a planner is a must-have for keeping track of parts.
  12. The build guide videos needs a more thorough step-by-step with tips and tricks.
  13. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: You all are the most helpful and supportive group I’ve ever met.

Working on this…

Agree with a lot of the other things you said as well! And most of all I am happy you found the group helpful! That’s the whole reason we are here!!

First one is usually the roughest one. It gets better!

I like the yellow logo. My husband just asked me yesterday about making that a different color. Off to figure out how to do that now…

I’m glad to hear an official 0.6 mm 3mf print profile is being worked on!

I’m trying but not making any promises yet. I want to make sure I have it set up perfect, then get Noam’s blessing before I upload it.

I am working on that now. I was wondering how accurate I have to be as I’m not good with the mouse in that way. Seems to give a little forgiveness.
