My name is Dr. Igor Gaspar, I am a mechanical engineer and I work as a teacher and researcher on MATE (ex. SZIE) university in Budapest, but this channel is about my hobby: 3D printing, Arduino electronic, CAD and 3D design, web development, photography, etc. If you would like to support my work, my Patreon page: www.patreon.com/mytechfun
Other info, downloadable files are on www.mytechfun.com website. Important, for review video requests: I am located in Europe, but most of my viewers are from English language countries (USA, UK, AU, CA, DE..) There are no sponsored videos on my channel, all my honest reviews I do for free and there is no possibility for censoring the video. Also, it is important to mention, that for products sent outside of EU I have to pay duty and tax fees. Since I am still very small RU-vid channel, sender must accept these fees. This is just short version of my terms, full version is available on mytechfun.com website.
I use the same enclosure for my Ender 3S1 Pro. It barely fit inside with the controller removed and placed to the side. My PLA sticks to the bed like a champ now and no more warping. I use a small wi-fi camera inside to check on progress. I do plan to modify and make a bracket for the bottom of the printer to vent the electronics with air from outside instead of the hot air inside the enclosure.
I did not expect to see such huge differences in the layer adhesion. Have you ever seen such a big variance before, when comparing the same kind of polymer from different manufacturers?
Layer adhesion is very sensitive property. It can be ruined very easily with additives or with bad print settings. Take a look of this PLA comparison: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BbbquNH5NFA.htmlsi=RTw2cjyQTRy2nH0Z
Hello, Yes, we have a lot of common subjects to talk. Our conversations are never shorter than 1 hour. Thank you for your support. You must be expert too in 3D printing by now :-)
Hi, thanks for this. What would you recommend as a resin type among all these for a phone holder that would stay in a car parked in plain sunlight all year round including of course hot summers? Obviously the temperature would never reach the same as in your oven, but I think it could get as high as 70°C (about 160F). Would PA-like fit the bill?
My favorite PETG is still PLA+ 😅 It permanently creeps under (too much) load and withstands a little less heat, but is easier to print and often has better layer adhesion. If ABS wasn't such PITA with open printer, it might be my favorite PETG 😉
Best PETG is natural color petg, regardless of brand, without any additives (slightly milky, hard to buy), the more additives it has the worse it becomes. Completely clear PETG is NOT natural color, but it is closest to the natural from easy-to-buy ones.
Very useful info. Thank you for this. I printed some parts in Creality ABS recently (for heat resist), but found layer adhesion abmismally poor. I reprinted the same parts in Polylite PETG just to check I wasn't going nuts, and those parts turned out much stronger in layer adhesion. Your tests shows me that maybe Creality adds something to their filaments to make it easier to print, but really affects layer adhesion. Anyway, it also shows me I should've bought Hatchbox or Eryone! haha. Anyway, I would be quite interested in the same test in ABS, since I would be then able to completely validate my own findings between Creality ABS and Polylite PETG for layer adhesion.
Igor, I’ve noticed that you’ve taken your videos to a new level lately! What happened? They have always been must-see, but now they are a treat to watch!
