can this be printed with a bambu/ams unit?
@BeezleBoss_1068000 According to their posts, the latest three makers used X1's, so it seems to do fine on a Bambu.
Absolutely beautiful, thanks for doing the work to get it multi material. I used tri extrusion filament for the shielding (black-blue-purple) because it was cheaper than the one you used, but it still looks great.
@Harbor_Freight I see your Josh Wiessman cookbook there - You, too, are a man of culture :D
@FergyMcFerguson it's my roommate's lol

Thanks for the help and suggestions and this awesome model. Took over a week of off-and-on printing to complete. It's a lot bigger than I thought it'd be. The details are amazing.
Did you have to print with supports on xxx_-_roci2b.stl and xxx_m_roci2b.stl?
Those tubes look like they would need supporting, but I'm not sure. Also, was wondering how difficult supports were to remove as it seems some may be hard to even reach. Would hate to print these only to have them ruined by ugly damage from supports sticking.
@TomWang_467125 I did not have to use supports. All my print settings are that in the 3mf file.
By far the longest and most difficult print project I've completed. I've only had my MMU for a few weeks and this was as serious test for me, and it wasn't without several major issues that I had to solve. But I'm more than satisfied with the result. Thank you so much. I love it!

@RABBIT_167233 Assuming you have a nominal printer, you shouldn't need supports. There are triangular 'walls' on each end which makes the wide part of it just bridging.
The only painted on supports are right above the base of the railgun because it has an unsupported edge.
But you can always add supports if you'd like. Always tweak settings for your own printer; what works on mine may or may not work on others'.
@BaconFase Awesome, thanks for the lightning fast reply. I'm gonna start the print tomorrow.
It is a great model. Took about 2 and a half weeks to print and it came out looking good
Took about a 3 weeks to print and assemble. Went with an alternate stand for it and quite happy with the finished print.
@JimNangano where did you get the stand?
i'm having a hard time matching up the colors to the areas that you painted. Are you able to tell me what colors you had in each slot? For example, what color did you have for filament 1, 2, 3, etc. Thanks.
@OldSalty3D Exactly as it shows in the description:
1. Red
2. Purplely-Blue (carbon silicate laced armor)
3. Black
4. Light Gray
5. Silk BlackGray
You can always change the color displayed in PrusaSlicer to whatever you want by clicking on the rightside of the colorbox. While I was painting light gray I had it display light blue to make it easier to differentiate. Then changed it back to light gray display for screenshots.
Awesome, thanks my friend.
