A1 mini vs Tinkercad

A1 mini. Mostly using the presets in bambu studio.

I love that (most of the time) my A1 Mini can recover from this

I designed it from scratch to be support-free, material-efficient, and easy to print even on compact machines like the A1 Mini.

The A1 mini is very easy to use so an excellent choice. I teach tech courses to children and we have multiple A1mini and they are designed to help along every step.

I just snagged an H2D on eBay earlier and ordered an A1 mini when they were on sale (I have a problem).

For anyone wanting to mess around for free, without need for expensive software or any out of pocket risk financially, I HIGHLY recommend TinkerCAD. Browser-based, no downloads, auto saving, and a beautiful and intuitive UI/UX.

To create the 3D models, I recommend him to start with Tinkercad. It is accessible in the browser and free, and also don't need a particular powerful computer.

Tinkercad doesn't get much love here, but it's so freaking simple and learning to use little tricks like this one opens up a lot in what you do with your printer but doesn't require a ton of time learning modeling software ins and outs.

Most of the shapes were created in TinkerCAD with some use of Blender to curve the text, all assembly as such was done in Orca Slicer.
