Kudos Jarett. The upgraded mic was noticeably better and you asked the cost question (even if they couldn't answer it). Also, good to see real world challenges with this printing. Seeing them hammer out the lines caught me off guard, but makes total sense once I thought about it some more. I was also surprised that they had to change mix during the day to account for the change in temperature. I wouldn't have thought it was quite that sensitive. Thanks for sharing.
LOVING THIS !!! Even if some still think this is a fantasy - I know that this technology will advance rapidly & we'll be able to print whatever we imagine.
Good for these contractors. Building for habitat for humanity is a good way to gain experience and give back. Most habitat homes are all wood. So the concrete gives them more sustainability. Plus for a lower cost home helped to buy they live with mistakes or blemishes a lot easier.
that 1930's Urschell hopper extruder compacting dry mix, retrofitted to these modern cnc gantries would remedy piping problems of solidifying sludge.. also, hemp lime mortar mix with geopolymer binders extruded at 6" replacing cement layering at 1" per pass w/o cold joints cracking would combine timely tested with present tech.. my two stones.. rocking channel! thanks..
🤗THANKS JARETT FOR SHARING THIS WITH US ALL..a work in progress and we are seeing the painstaking part of it …keep cool (😎 and stay safe 😷 )WE KNOW IT’s not easy in that heat…We HOPE YOU ALL CAN GET A GOOD NIGHTS REST 😍😍😍
A portable HVAC unit with expandable 6 hose could be placed over the material hose and connected to HVAC unit to ensure the material doesn't dry in the direct sunlight. I love this stuff I want to see it work!
Having done some structures by hand, without the gantry with my own pump design, I found that removing the hose variable is paramount. Seeing the size of this gantry, I would build a mixing head mounted at the print nozzle assembly. There are way too many variables in these printing methods.
I am happy to see that some of the issues I've been wondering about covered like the tensile strength ladders, the troweling, the curing. I am also wondering about the waste material, is that being crushed, used in lumps for landfill or what? Also the men working seem to be pretty high up on the expert scale, are they being paid in keeping with their experience or are they going cheap while you all learn?
Jarett, what States do you think are more open to this technology? I am specifically wondering if the Western New York area would be open to this? Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this is faster than traditional brick layer. It’s new technology but not so sure that it would be more affordable. I watched the guys laying bricks did my new house. It took less than 2 days by 3 guys. The frame took a team of 5 guys and they finished within 3 days.
Wow this is an insane amount of setup to make this happen. Industrial generator, chiller, onsite mixing plant, printer and columns for the feet and on top of that all has to fight the temperature change through the day... This can't be faster than just putting up metal forms and scheduling a few ready mix trucks. I understand they are just figuring things out and will speed this up some but some of these are fixed activities and costs that can't be refined out like the mixing plant or the industrial generator (not sure temp service pole would run it). The more I watch of this tech, the more I am not seeing a situation where it makes sense. Sorry about all the negative Nancy feedback
amazing thank you, this is a detailed video about the #cobod3dprinter, they should talk to you and let you visit them (the cobod guys) , i hope they appreciate what you have done and support you , thank you a ton Jarett .
They did! I visited Cobod in Copenhagen Denmark this past May. They also took me to Germany to see some 3D printed houses there. Very cool company. They were the first to do many things including the first company I filmed in Europe.
Fly Jarett, fly! You and your crew are doing powerful work. The national and international bridges you are building in the new age printing community will stand for centuries in our family of solutionist. Your honest enthusiasm is contagious, the good kind as represented by the powerful work being done by Habitat For Humanity. Thank you for being a thread in the tapestry of humanity saving ourselves. LET'S PRINT! As we new age print environmentally conscious structures, modern Noah's Arks in this age of climate crisis, we are finding unity where there was fear. Imagine a world where every one or family's home is their castle designed and upgradable for them to live happily ever after as they choose wisely. I still can't wait until the industry shifts to laser printing instead of dot matrix. We will be able to get a lot more done faster. Then we can get to printing multi story spiral stair cases in dome homes with clear plastic top floors and plenty of room for books. JOY!
I wish I had a crew! I do all the production, directing and editing for the videos myself. The companies I visit sometimes make me feel like part of the team but really I’m on my own.
I'm interested in investing on the machine to build some affordable homes for the people. I have watched many videos and wondering which brand machine should I look into to acquire one? Also I would like to see the construction in real person whenever the next one available, preferably in Southern area.
I'm in Ohio, you said, that "a lot of people are needed...", how or where, then, is the savings and benefits 🤔? Also, is fall, winter or spring the best and least costly time to do 3D print construction? Thnx in advance
so what makes this bad ass.... transparent. sharing your pitfalls and successes, which is complicated, as it does not bode well in a competitive capitalist economy. You all are doing a great job, remember that when $$$ start to be bigger than the drive of why you chose the field you did...
I think the companies that choose to be transparent when I visit end up winning in the long term because people like me and you really respect those who share the good the bad and the ugly instead of just making an advertisement.
@@automateconstruction Without a doubt. As skilled markets take traction there is a learning curve and even when you are 'mastering' that skill there are ALWAYS hurdles every single project, without fail. It's the human factor that at any given moment your employee's best friend passes, pet passes, family member passes, they are fighting a personal battle right wrong or indifferent, your customer is going through something in their lives as well. The future, due to COVID, Millenials and pioneers who saw long ago changes to the recent past free market 'business' model are prepared to embrace. Unabashed transparency isn't a fad. If you dwell on how it used to be.... dig your grave while you can. Keep up the great work, you certainly are inspired and honestly, there's not much that trumps inspiration.
My problem with concrete is that it starts falling apart after 60 to 70 years, which is why so many bridges need to be replaced in America. Evidently, the Romans used a lost formula for making their concrete structures, which is why their buildings are still standing. But modern concrete eventually falls apart and must be demolished.
They might consider a giant jumping castle type inflatable for climate control of the job site 🤷♂️ and a vibrating screen before the dry materials enter the mixing.?
This project encountered a clog!? And I thought to myself DUH! WTH man! If we could get the entire process of home building to be Computer Controlled, couldn't this process be cheaper with BRICKS!?
Interesting concept but doubtful this is ready for prime-time building. A single point of failure is never a good idea. All this technology is proprietary and therefore expensive. Seems counterproductive to "affordable" housing.
