Printing spheres is not a simple matter. The profiles shared here are primarily meant to provide ideas (summarizing many great ideas shared by experts) to improve success rates
Filament type, brand, printing plate, humidity conditions, room temperature, and whether enclosed all have a significant impact. There are many intricate details in this challenge: first layer adhesion, interlayer adhesion, overhangs, seams, and so on
If you frequently browse major video platforms, many experts, in pursuit of perfect details for a specific item, always target the current filament, test different parameters multiple times, before finally achieving a relatively ideal result
When they switch to a different type or brand, they first print various printing calibration towers. After ensuring basic performance, they then fine-tune parameters for the target
Therefore, if printing fails, you can fine-tune the parameters for your filament and try again. Feel free to share your experiences, and please be understanding
2026-01-23: Continued the challenge for ≥25mm (30mm, 40.6mm), adjusted parameters / hand-painted supports x2, tested 3 methods, successful
(Additionally, I added an anti-vibration solution to the machine https://makerworld.com.cn/zh/models/2020008-jian-zhen-di-zuo-jian-zhen-kuai-jian-zhen-zhi-jia#profileId-2252322, I don't know if it helped, haha)
2026-01-21: 10~25mm were relatively easy to print using only raft and expansion, but the challenge failed for ≥25mm (30mm) (detachment occurred)
Spheres with diameters of 10~30mm are provided by default. It is recommended to use your own filament and print in batches after successful verification
The size can be scaled to the target size in Bambu Studio (<25mm can use the no supports version, ≥25mm is recommended to use the version with supports)
Additionally, besides opening the chamber door, you can enhance fan cooling in the "Filament - Edit - Cooling Mode" settings
Top surface (15mm)
Bottom surface (15mm) 【Before repair】
Bottom surface (15mm) 【After repair: excess material trimmed with a knife】
Results are good (15mm)
