The first piece I received was my new Flash Forge Adventurer 5M 3D printer. I’m very excited to explore the realm of 3D printing! I have some experience in 3D modeling that I hope will give me a little bit of a head start in modeling my own objects to print. Since I’m just getting started I’ve only been testing out some of the preset options that come on the printer. Some have been going well and others… Not so well. But that’s part of learning.

Speaking of my M1 Ultra, I began messing around with the print head option. It doesn’t seem to do too well with detail, especially on wood. However testing this out has helped me realize two things. The first is that the images will come out with a water color effect to them when printing on wood. The second was that I need to still be cautious of the colors that I am attempting to cut through even though it is on wood. My blue diode light laser will not cut through blue colors, however I feel with multiple passes I would be able to get closer to cutting through than on other materials.
