Tips before you start

Having a clean print bed and hot end(s) free from filament is essential in getting that crisp, clean look. Here's some tips on what to do to get the best print possible;

Cleaning

Clean your plate first, following your usual routine. Dish soap works best, clean and then rinse thoroughly, ensure the plate is dry and free of debris before putting back in the printer.

Leftover filament residue on your hot end can cause unwanted colour streaks, which will show very clearly against the white parts of the print. Please inspect your hot end before starting the print, if you spot any clumps or leftover filament, follow Bambu's recommended cleaning guide to remove.

Printing setup

This model has been designed as a straightforward 3 colour print using black, silver, and red PLA.

Both the base and top part fit on one plate on all sized BL printers. The top part does use supports, so you will have to remove those before assembly.

Recommended filament colours

• Black PLA for the main housing
• Silver PLA for the metallic detailing
• Red PLA for the cyclotron accents

All filaments used are included in the Bill of Materials, accessible from the desktop version of Makerworld (doesn't show on Bambu Handy at the time of writing). 

Additional hardware

To complete the build you will need:

• 1x keyboard clicker switch

Assembly

What you will need

• Printed parts
• 1x keyboard clicker switch

Assembly steps

1. Carefully remove all printed parts from the build plate.

2. This is what we need before starting

   

3. Next, you'll need to remove the supports from underneath the cyclotron lid, these are needed as the bit that grips the keyboard clicker is set back from the bottom of the design. This can be a bit fiddly, and you must do it from the edges. 

   

4. Insert the keyboard clicker switch into the rear housing section.

   

5. Align the top section over the switch and press into place.

   

6. Start clicking!

Troubleshooting

Model Doesn’t Match Preview / Wrong Colours / Odd Layout / Dots instead of lines or shapes

If your model looks misaligned, missing colours, or prints incorrectly, please make sure you are using the supplied 3MF print profiles, not the raw STL or STEP files.

The 3MF files contain all the model specific tuning, including:

• Colour allocations
• Line width settings
• Print specific adjustments
• Supports 

To use them properly:

• Either click “Open in Bambu Studio” directly from MakerWorld,
• Or download the .3MF file and open it manually in Bambu Studio.

Avoid using the raw STL or STEP files unless you specifically want to rebuild your own profiles, they do not include the tuned print settings.
