- Behind the Prints: Why We Use the Bambu Lab A1 Mini and P1S at FiveLeaves3D
At FiveLeaves3D, we’re always refining our setup to keep quality high and turnaround times low. Recently, we brought two new printers into the workshop: the Bambu Lab A1 Mini and Bambu Lab P1S . Both are now handling a lot of the work behind the scenes, so this post gives a quick overview of what they offer, why we chose them, and what that means for you. Why we upgraded We’ve used a range of machines over the years—some custom, some modded, some straight out of the box—but as demand has grown, we needed something faster and more reliable with less babysitting. The A1 Mini and P1S stood out for their speed, consistency, and automation . They're workhorses, and that helps us stay focused on design and quality, not troubleshooting. The A1 Mini: Small but sharp This one’s been brilliant for smaller accessories. It has a compact footprint but punches above its weight. It’s fast, quiet, and has excellent out-of-the-box calibration features. Ideal for those more detailed or lightweight prints that don’t need a huge build plate. The P1S: Consistency at scale The P1S is built for volume and speed . It’s perfect for larger orders or batch runs where we need everything to look identical and stay on schedule. It handles higher temperatures, prints a wide range of materials (like PETG and ASA), and rarely needs tinkering. We can send a job, walk away, and come back to a stack of clean prints—exactly what you want when time matters. What does this mean for our customers? Faster machines mean faster dispatch times . Better reliability means fewer failed prints and more consistent finishes. The A1 Mini has opened the door to more detailed pieces with sharper layers, while the P1S has become the go-to for bulk orders and strong, functional parts. We’re always testing new setups, but these two have earned their place in the lineup. If you’ve got questions about how our products are made or want to know more about the machines, feel free to reach out. OLD VS NEW!
- How I Built a Budget Photo Booth for Under £100
As someone who creates and sells physical products, I needed a reliable, well-lit space to take clean, professional-looking product shots—without paying for a commercial setup. Most photo booths online cost a small fortune or are made from flimsy materials. So, instead, I built my own using simple materials: a corner garage rack, painted panels, satin-finish laminated plywood, and affordable lighting from Amazon. The Core Frame: A Garage Rack The structure of the booth is a standard metal corner garage shelving unit. These racks cost around £60 and provide a solid, rigid frame. They have plenty of room to position lights and work with larger items. The Surfaces: Painted and Laminated Panels I painted the base panels that came with the rack in a clean matte white. This provided a neutral and even surface that photographs well under light. For the side walls, I used satin-finish white-laminated plywood sheets—these reflect light efficiently and help to eliminate shadows without requiring additional surface prep. All panels were simply slotted into the existing shelf slots, requiring no screws or adhesives. Lighting: Budget Ring Lights & LED Panels For lighting, I used inexpensive ring lights and an LED panel light ordered from Amazon. One ring light is ceiling-mounted, providing soft overhead illumination. I also added side lighting to eliminate shadows and give more depth to the shots. All lights are USB-powered and battery-powered, keeping things neat and avoiding bulky cables. The lighting fixtures were drilled and mounted directly to the frame for added security. Camera Mount: Custom 3D Printed Solution To capture consistent top-down and angled shots for video, I designed and 3D printed a camera mount, which I fixed to the ceiling rail. This allows me to film from a raised, stable viewpoint without relying on tripods or additional gear. It was a simple addition that made a big difference in ease of use. For video, I use a DJI Action 4 camera mounted overhead. For still photography, I use an iPhone 15 Pro, which performs exceptionally well in this controlled lighting setup. Total Cost Breakdown Garage rack – £60 Laminated plywood (for side panels) – £9 Ring light + LED panel – £14 Total – £83 Final Touches I used cable ties to tidy up the cables and keep the frame clean. The setup is modular and quick to adjust depending on the product size or angle required.
- Light Reimagined – Modern 3D Printed Lampshades by FiveLeaves3D
At FiveLeaves3D , we believe everyday objects deserve to be more than functional—they should spark curiosity, start conversations, and elevate spaces. Our latest addition brings this philosophy to lighting with a growing collection of 3D-printed lampshades designed and made in-house. Each piece is printed using durable PLA+ and built to last, with patterns that cast distinctive shadows and glow warmly under soft bulbs. Unlike mass-produced options, our shades are lightweight, customizable, and made to order, allowing us to maintain close attention to quality and detail for each item. We take a minimal, modern approach to design while keeping practicality at the forefront. All lampshades are compatible with standard bulb fittings, and we offer both pendant and table lamp variants. Whether you're after a bold centrepiece or subtle accent lighting, there's something in the range to suit. I create every design, emphasising not only aesthetics but also real-world functionality. I carefully consider airflow, heat dissipation, and ease of fitting to ensure each shade works seamlessly in everyday use while still standing out visually. Designing and printing our own products means we can experiment quickly and push creative boundaries. It also means we keep everything local—no outsourcing, no unnecessary waste, and full control over quality. New designs are added regularly, and custom requests are welcome. If you have a specific aesthetic in mind or want something tailored to your space, get in touch. We’ll help bring it to life. Spiral Radiance Shade.
