Hi, I went through your brief and this is not just 3D modeling, it’s FDM print engineering for visual prototypes where geometry, topology, and print logic all have to align. I would start by cleaning and remeshing the imported BIM/FBX data into a print-optimized structure, then rebuild surfaces where needed to remove non-manifold geometry, reduce artifacts, and ensure clean manifold solids suitable for slicing on the Bambu Lab A1 with AMS. After that, I would split the model into logical printable assemblies based on orientation and support reduction, while also planning color separation for multi-material printing so the final water heater model looks retail-display ready without post-processing dependency. I’ve worked on similar print-optimization and product visualization models before and can share relevant examples once we connect on chat. What matters more for your first prototype: absolute print reliability or maximum visual detail? Best Regards, Muskan

Hey, this is exactly the kind of project where print optimization matters more than raw CAD accuracy. I can turn the BIM/Revit models into clean FDM friendly display pieces optimized for the Bambu A1 with proper part separation, smoother topology, support reduction, and AMS ready multi-color workflows. The focus will be on creating retail style display models that print cleanly with minimal post processing while still preserving the recognizable look and proportions of the real appliance. Can you share one of the current FBX conversions or printed examples first so I can evaluate the mesh quality and determine the best optimization approach? Atik

Hi, I’m interested in helping you optimize your HVAC appliance models for FDM 3D printing, starting with the residential water heater prototype. I have experience in 3D modeling, mesh cleanup, product modeling, and preparing clean printable models. I can take your Revit/FBX source files and optimize them for Bambu Lab A1 printing with AMS multi-color support. For this project, I can help with: * Cleaning and optimizing the FBX/Revit converted mesh * Separating the model into printable parts if needed * Improving geometry for smoother surfaces and better visual appearance * Reducing support requirements through smart part orientation * Preparing STL/STEP/3MF files for printing * Designing the model for easy assembly * Keeping the real-world appliance look while making it retail-display ready * Providing basic print recommendations for filament, finish, and assembly Since this is for marketing/display use and not engineering manufacturing, I will focus on clean visuals, smooth surfaces, easy printing, and minimal post-processing. I can start with the Bradford White water heater model as the first prototype. Please share the FBX/RFA files, reference images, and examples of printed models you like, and I can review the complexity before finalizing the exact timeline. I’m also open to long-term collaboration for additional HVAC models, miniature versions, keychains, and other appliance display models. Looking forward to working with you. Best regards, Najaf Ali
