I know LDO sponsored your video… but the fact that they’re gearing up to make a kit for a Positron excites me so much. I’ve wanted to make one for a while now, and a pre-set kit with a bit of support if I needed it sounds phenomenal. I’m looking forward to seeing what they come out with.
I'm glad that Positron is featured here. But you are absolutely correct, it is a hassle to source everything. In my case even harder, when you do it from Germany. LDO are doing a such a great job there.
Ive been wanting to see more about the Positron ever since I came across it a few months ago. Very interesting concept, i really hope to continue seeing it evolve.
The image from your hike at 1.41 is just over 3 km from where I sit. I'm glad you were able to visit Boulder as the flatness of Denver is not exciting.
@@CNCKitchen You've inspired me. I think I'm going to go for a hike to the same spot today as long as we don't have thunderstorms. A different view in a live moving camera is available as "Boulder Pearl Street Live" from the channel "Boulder Flatiron Cam". Cheers!
RMRRF was an awesome experience to be a part of. A conversation at the Wuxn booth could've been the icing on the cake. Here's hoping for a 'take two' next time!
Stefan, thanks so much for putting this together. This was a fantastic video to watch and ensures those of us who couldn’t attend aren’t missing a thing. Awesome job as usual!!!
Really cool! I just started printing this year. If I had know about this festival I would have gone. I am going to have to look up RepRap now. Thanks for sharing.
Essentium also makes a dual-core 25% carbon fiber filament called HTN-CF25. We use it a lot at work, it's insanely strong and rigid and prints as easily as PLA as long as you keep it dry. It'll be interesting to see if the new Phaetus filament is as good.
Wouldn't an upside down Voron at high accelerations benefit from having the moving mass lower to the ground? It would potentially shake less and therefore allow for faster printing, right? There are so many awesome ideas out in the world, I absolutely am in love with this community ever since. Thank you for your coverage!
This is easily my favorite content that you post. I love getting to see where the 3d printing technology is going! Please continue to do these if you can :D
@@Sembazuru I would also add the Orbiter to that mix - I feel like they are trying to say "we can make your design into a product", which is a win both for them (profit, and they also don't have to invent on their own) and for the designer (who gets to have their design manufactured without much of the hassle that would come with doing that alone on a small scale). It's quite smart to be honest.
Man I kinda though this was going to be a little event and skipped to go racing instead but it looks like I should have made time, especially if I knew you were coming all this way. Glad you got to see the Rockies and hike a little too while you were here, even if it wasn't the best season for it.
It was nice to see you at the festival, even though all I able to do was say how I appreciated you channel. Watching this video was better than actually going to the festival as far as finding out new information.
With careful orientation of one of the two coloe co-extrusion filaments on the polar printer, you could get a vase mode print that is one color on the outside and another color on the inside.
I've been using a 3rd-generation Hero Me on my ender 3 for quite some time. The part cooling is absurdly better than the stock ender 3 cooler. If I care about surface finish, I can print up to ~60° overhangs. If I don't care or am willing to do some sanding, it can go all the way to 75°. Bridges work great, too.
So glad to hear an update about Positron! Haven't heard much since their very first videos. Glad that such an innovative design is getting industry support!
Stefan I enjoyed meeting you at RMRRF! It was an amazing chance to see so many 3D printing enthusiasts under one roof. I ordered a Voron R2 kit the moment I got home and my wife nearly ordered the chocolate printer. 😊 Thanks for your coverage of the show-you found some cool projects that I missed!
Maybe a bit off topic here. I had this crazy idea to increase print strength. The weakest part of a print is the layer adhesion. What if we design a solid part. Print the first layers as normal. The perimeters are printed as normal. Now for the fill we skips about half of the layer lines in a tooth like pattern. The next layer is printed at double layer height filling the open space and sticking one layer height above the previous one. The principle is repeated for the full print. Hypotheses: The layers stick to both the bottom layer and half of the sides of the previous layer and as a result the print will be stronger. Can you test this or is this already tested?
That was cool, had no idea some of this stuff was out there, so many thanks for covering this convention. It's provided alot of food for thought on future projects.
I saw you there thought that looks like the guy from CNC kitchen.... IT WAS!!! I wish I could have just said thanks for all your content!!! Some of this stuff I must have missed or maybe it was there on Sunday? There were a few really good ideas there!!
did you see the creepy denver airport horse? we had a van break down in a town nearby and had to uber there to get a rental and get to a hotel lots of interesting stuff in the area, we were planning on driving through, but the long weekend of waiting for repairs was a lot of fun.
you gonna make videos about positron soon? i like find this project very interesting. Another project that i found on youtube some time ago and i didin't see more content about i'ts mulbot, have seen this in one video of you, and found very interesting.
I have a suggestion for a new Video. Does recycled filament has the same advantage than annealed PLA? Can you test filament from Recycling Fabrik and compare it to regular PLA?
It was great seeing you there and glad you could come out. It's funny, the table I was at was in many of your shots but somehow you got it every time myself and booth mates weren't there. Though I did see my back once :P
I'm definitely super glad to see that the advancements haven't stopped behind the 3d printing scenes! The year of the Bambu lab was a little discouraging for me. But the voron builds are super inspiring! Definitely what I want to do next!
It was very nice to meet you there! One of the things I found most interesting there was the work being done by Utility Research Lab. I also noticed quite a few printers with belt driven Z axis. So many Voron printers! The Voron printer in the Fabreeko booth with the EDM cut linear bearing rails was insane.
This was wonderful! Thanks for covering the event, I had no idea about some of these projects! I hope you can come visit ERRF later this year, Last year had some really neat stuff!
The photon cast looks like an amazing machine for small businesses. How many cycles do you think a single printed mold can withstand before deformation?
Love seeing my rockets in your video! you came really really close to being eaten btw. 3d printed shoes AND they were orange. if I thought you were a size 13 I just might have bitten you and made off with them :-) muahahahaha
please show more! I'm disappointed to not have known about this show as I'm 60 miles away and would like to have attended. Looking forward to more videos about the meetup. I thought of NASA technology being used to transfer power and signals via rotating interfaces to antennae etc. on satellites when I saw the polar rotating printer.
Moin, kannst du bitte mal das gst3d filament testen? Das ist richtig günstig, die Meinungen darüber spalten sich aber sehr. Mit deinen Premium Tests könnte man da eine klare Linie ziehen wofür es gut ist und wo seine Schwächen sind. Mach weiter so! Deine Videos sind perfekt👍
The Photoncast has my interest. At work, we use a large amount of one off insulators for high voltage and high current buss bars. Being able to coat them like this with a, insulating resin would greatly decrease our production time on prototypes. Also, the Co Extrusion filament has always caught my attention. The ability to add such a strong material to a print would take most prints from testing ideas and low strength cover plates to more structural parts, again for low volume prototype equipment. The only problem so far is that every retraction requires a filament cut to sheer the core material.
Regarding the chocolate printer. Now this is cool. I see that they recommend their chocolate to be used and that it is formed to meet the shape needed for the printer. What will be unique here is that the chocolate would be much easier to recycle vs. filament. However, it would have to be melted down and put into a mold that shapes the chocolate correctly so it fits into the unit. Now I am not a baker so I do not know how many times chocolate can be remelted. So, initially printing something that fails, then to melt it down and reshape the chocolate into the needed shape for the printer and then, again, printing a new shape using the printer might be an issue as I am not sure how much melting and remelting of chocolate can be done.
Thanks for this interesting video on new an upcoming 3D printing tech. If I may suggest subjects for future videos, I'd like to see a review of Prusa PC with carbon fiber, and how it compares to PC Blend, and Polymax PC. Additionally I'd be very curious to see how the print settings, which produced the transparent and tough parts, compare to annealing in salt.
