BubbleRing: Float Some Magic

This is a bubble wand designed to make medium-large bubbles while still fitting just within the build volume of a Bambu A1 mini (180 mm x 180 mm). It’s simple, light, and sized just right for summer backyard fun. Assembly is straightforward: the wand is split into two parts to allow full-size printing on smaller machines. Included in the files is a small test-fit piece for the handle joint—print this first to check tolerances. If the fit is too tight or loose, scale the handle in X and Y accordingly before printing the full part. Once satisfied, glue the handle in place with a little superglue. The model was tested in Bambu’s Silk PLA+, which has a bit of flexibility and strength. Regular silk PLA (the more brittle kind) is not recommended, as the thinner wand parts may snap under pressure. Standard PLA or PETG should work fine. If you’re using an A1 mini, you’ll need to use the full bed size, so make sure your build plate is clean and your first layer is dialed in. I printed on a Supe
