I did a similar print for my cousin's wife in PLA Marble white that turned out great. PETG HF?
The Darkmoon plate is in, I'll get it deployed this weekend.

Biggest pro tip I can give is if you get something stuck on there heat up the board to 80C and it makes it a lot easier to take off. I have issues with small PETG supports especially.
Just get a rag, wet it slightly in the sink, and wipe with a little pressure between prints. That’s it. You can go more than 1 print but you’ll lose adhesion if you go between PETG and PLA because of the residual non-sticking plastic. I have never used soap on mine.
Dont be afraid to ask questions either. Twice I’ve logged into their discord and Ben (the owner) has been there to answer my question. Very nice dude.
Sunlu Basic gray PETG (rocks)
Elegy Space Gray PETG-HF (castle)
Flashforge Burnt Titanium PETG-HF (roof)
… and a secret 4th filament of Sunlu Blue PLA as support interface between PETG layers.
0.2 layer height (imho you gain nothing past this with PETG)
0.4 hotend
47 hours print time

Bambu’s Marble PLA can touch grass.
I’ve printed 8 billion things in Elegoo, Sunlu, Kingroon, Flashforge, Anycubic, Polymaker, American Filament, Slant3D…. This is the worst one. 2 fails because it won’t even slick to an additive board. Checked my standard PEI board same thing. Slowed down halfway… same thing.
Guys I even pulled out my glue stick.
Nope. Fuck right off.

0.4mm nothing crazy.
I switched out the hot end too. I dunno what’s up with it maybe it needs to be dried or something … I just changed filaments to another PLA and kept going.
I don’t usually come across plastics that won’t comply. This was just sliding off the board even after a scrub. On both boards (hot and cold… 70C and 45C… glue stick on the regular PEI)… so it’s something with the spool.
I’ve only bought 2 rolls from Bambu ever and they’re both problem childs. Gimme Polymaker or Elegoo any damn day of the week.
I’ll save them for multicolor where they don’t need to adhere to the plate.

Bambu is 97% of what I have now. I'll be mixing in more Polymaker in the future, especially with some of their new materials.
We used a mix of Polymaker (mostly) with some Bambu at work and have had problems with both between a X1E and Prusa MK3.

I open my wallet for Polymaker. Whew boy they can be expensive but they always look and print awesome.
Also now that I figured out they use Amazon for fulfillment if I see a sale and that their filament is in my local warehouse it comes in 1 day.

I need to fix the guitar but this came out well. This is from a 3D scan of the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue in downtown Austin. Planning on making a color-accurate larger version later.

Dont mean to toot my own horn but 5 minutes of modelling and 5 minutes printing and he can play music again.

I’m actually good at painting but I’m too lazy most of the time.I learned I'm not a good painter.
That’s a beautiful boy!
I made this today for my son:

Picked up their G10 Garolite board (in white) today because my next big project needs "glass" and I need a smooth plate to achieve that printing on the face (in PETG).

The Iconic 3DBenchy Enters the Public Domain
Press release: 14 February 2025 – 3DBenchy, a 3D model designed specifically for testing and benchmarking 3D printers, is now in the public domain.
www.nti-group.com
Hahah. They bullied the company that owned Benchy into releasing the model into the public domain.
Damn. My favorite thing to tell people there for a second was that there was a Benchy that was a Boat that was replaced by Boaty who is a Bench.
3D printing is sorta dumb.
Nope, going for 0.6mm for print that has 11 plates.

11 plates always will always equal a 0.6mm nozzle.
Facts.
Printing a mermaid currently for my employee that just wants a mermaid. The fuck we doing here besides that lol.

Bambu's OpenCAD stuff is my absolute favorite stuff they're doing. I've made 2-3 people signs using this and they always love them. Takes very little time too.
That's what I used to make medals for the beer competition my club runs.
