I'm trying to keep this desk organizer minimal but genuinely useful.

If you could redesign it, what would you change—and why?
I've experimented with both increasing and decreasing the AMS purge volume over multiple dual-color prints. While reducing it definitely saves filament, I started noticing slight color contamination on some transitions. Increasing it gave cleaner changes but felt wasteful. In the end, I found myself going back to Bambu Studio's default values because they seemed to offer the best balance.
Has anyone here found custom purge settings that consistently reduce waste without compromising color quality? I'd love to hear what values you're using and what results you've had.
The first few prints failed because the thin base didn't have enough contact with the build plate (as rounded in design) Instead of adding a brim, I slightly flattened one edge of the model to increase the contact area. That design change made the print reliable while keeping the overall look almost unchanged.
AFTER FEW OTHER OPTIMIZATIONS FOUND:-
*Modern minimal rounded design
*Optimized for FDM 3D printing
*Also Multicolour-ready 3MF file
*Smooth edges, clean tolerances
*Ideal for desks, coffee tables, gifts, and décor

Designed with clean geometry and smooth curves, this set doubles as a functional game and stylish desk or home décor.
I designed this minimal paper clip in Bambu Studio as a fun little project that also turned out to be surprisingly functional.
It can be used as a paper clip, bookmark, sticky note holder, or just a simple desk accessory.
The biggest challenge was its tiny footprint. The first few prints failed because the thin base didn't have enough contact with the build plate. Instead of adding a brim, I slightly flattened one edge of the model to increase the contact area. That tiny design change made the print reliable while keeping the overall look almost unchanged.

Sometimes the smallest design tweaks make the biggest difference. 😄
I'd love to hear how others solve bed adhesion issues on very small prints.
Due to tiny shape and thinner base can't stick on bed after that i just slightly cut the base and turned a successful print....try this fun printing

I recently worked on a small alphabet project and ran into a few unexpected printing issues.
Because some letters are very small and have different proportions, not all of them printed successfully on the first attempt. A few letters detached from the print bed, while others had incomplete or imperfect holes.
After 4–5 test prints, I found a solution that worked consistently:
• Added supports to a few problematic letters
• Slightly modified the base geometry
• Split the merged design into individual letters for better print reliability
• Adjusted orientation for the smallest characters
* Printed on an FDM printer using PLA at 0.2 mm layer height.
The final result printed successfully with clean holes and much better consistency.
I'm curious—how do you handle tiny alphabet or keychain-style prints that tend to fail due to their size and shape?
(If anyone is interested in the final design version, I can share details in the comments.)
