Interesting I honestly didnt expect such tiny details like that of holograms to be transferable to the molten plastic tracks. Doesnt sound impossible just not expected. I wonder if we can somehow transfer this tiny structures on to a PEI coating? That way we have both function and form?

@winchesterlyon 6 месяцев назад

IF you order a PET build plate surface with a "carbon fiber" pattern, why would you call it "fake carbon fiber" as if you were expecting "carbon fiber"? Why is it that Europeans and Americans use the term "fake", even for open source devices whenever a Chinese company sells them? I don't ever this term used whenever they come from any European or American company. I can understand you using the term "fake", IF the seller were advertising it as "carbon fiber", but I'm sure they didn't.

All of these PE(random letter) print beds are just marketing terms. All of these are Polypropylene material, their whole adhesion comes from texture, unlike with PEI. Those have been in multiple discussions on r/3dprinting in the last year and someone made a mass spectrometer analysis on them somewhere.

Forget about 3D printing, these are perfect for what I'm looking for. Been on the edge between getting holographic foils or tapes, as substrates for silicone molds. But these are just perfect for casting silicone molds. I'll just 3D print the outer edges of the shape/mold and without even separating them from the build plate I can just pour in the silicone. Awesome find, thank you, and yes at least the PEI back of these will still be useful for conventional 3D printing.

@mattermfg 6 месяцев назад

Could use magnets embedded in the 3D printed mold to hold it tight to the surface. Would you need a gasket to keep the silicone from pouring out the bottom?

@jaymzx0 6 месяцев назад

I have the 'carbon fiber' and wacky geometric ones. I used to hate them until I discovered you need to print a little hotter (50c) and lower your Z by -0.04 (I use the 'Textured PEI' bed slicer setting with my Bambu, which does this). It provides more adhesion and squish into the bed pattern. The other thing is washing the heck out of it with dish soap right before printing. I've had consistently better results with all materials washing with dish soap. Your mileage may (will) vary.

@TopFurret 6 месяцев назад

Got a PEY holographic star plate off Aliexpress recently. Had to crank up the bed temp to 70 to get decent adhesion. It's pretty subtle in normal non studio lights but a lovely touch imo.

@Ziraya0 6 месяцев назад

The micro-texture, more than the material, seems like a real promising idea. Going from an incidentally produced and carefully controlled surface texture to one that can be designed. These are different materials so it can't be a 1 to 1, and the holographicness seems like it would be material specific based on viscosity and molecular size, but I can imagine normal materials with non-holographic circular patterns doing a better than random job of resisting forces in all directions, and long parallel or near-parallel grooves or really high aspect hatching could be really good on long thin parts, to increase the hold strength perpendicular to the long axis. I'd really love to see normal printbed surfaces with "engineered" micro-textures rather than artistic ones.

Huh, bout time there were actual "beds" for this effect now. About a year ago in printing groups the rainbow reflective pattern of the print at 1:20 was the craze. People were gluing down a form of vinyl onto their PEI bed for the smooth reflective effect. One person used window-blocking film with a stained glass appearance to create it.

@WhiteWolfos 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad to have thrown this idea to a manufacturer. 😁 Since they were just starting doing textures in aliexpress i told them why not Holo pattern?? It has a glass transition like chocolate so it should in theory capture holo. I'm obsessed with holos and sure enough in a month they started producing holo! Now i see all sorts of holo patterns 😊 ofc, more holo patterns wouldn't hurt 😅 My other idea, is a "moving" texture that looks like it shifts at different angles. Similar to 5D shift and in theory, it should also capture into the first layer. Haven't shared this one though. It may be more prone to damage if the nozzle is too low.

@garydurn7983 6 месяцев назад

I've been working with these alternative beds for a while and agree with Thomas' points. I have products that benefit from these textures, but there is a price to pay on bed adhesion. The texture has lasted for hundreds of prints. On the plus side, I found the plain PEI side to be good quality and these are cheap enough to experiment with.

I love holographic stuff and when these dropped I went and bought them all too. You have to get your bed pretty levelled for it to stick well, and you can't use glue it'll kill the holo, but otherwise it's been great. If you print things like lids and flat stuff these are the dream. No more ugly first layers meant to be hidden.

@labemolon5739 6 месяцев назад

I have all of these beds, and quite a few more. I simply refer to them as “diffraction beds”. The carbon fiber one is very useful (for my application) however it wears down the quickest and shows imperfections quickly. The adhesion is relatively the same for all of them if you’re using PLA or PETG but you’ll need to bump up the bed temp 5-7c higher.

I often 3D Print "extruded" letters for interior signs. These would be perfect to use for the face of the letters to produce a unique look. Imagine walking in your company conference room and not only seeing your company logo on the wall, but upon further inspection of the letters you can see hologram shapes... Not for everyone, but worth it to have a few laying around for a little extra pop on a project. Even people knowledgeable in 3D printing might question how it was done... that alone is almost worth it.

@hueforging 6 месяцев назад

The CF Pattern sheet at least used to say only up to 80C bed temp, so I'm impressed it worked okay for ASA. I find that one has the worst adhesion. I honestly started buying these mostly for the high quality gold powder coat on the other side because it was the cheapest way to get them.

@firworks 6 месяцев назад

I've been using all these crazy beds on my X1C for a few months. When printing with the holographics I just go up to 65 or 70C and that's usually enough to avoid the warping. Textured PEI or PEX work at 55-60C. It's nice to just have all the options depending on the print and what will look best with it. My wife always wants everything printed on the holographic circle or flake beds... Plus if you gouge one of your textured PEI beds on accident, well you have 10 more since they all have a good PEI surface as well.

@ScottLahteine 6 месяцев назад

A perfect video for Boxing Day, what with all those boxes and all. I’m impressed how much of an impression those diffractive impressions actually make. I’m definitely inclined to get a few for the extra cool factor they add to any print. If the surfaces aren’t quite sticky enough, we can just add a massive brim, I suppose, like we did in the before before times. What obscure 3D printing accessories will you be trying next?

@markillsley6488 6 месяцев назад

Interesting results. Plain cut mirrored bets have been my go-to for the last few years with a small coating of PVA. However whilst printing a project a few weeks back I wanted the CF look on the print and decided to use some of the CF wrap that I was going to use to cover the back side of one of my beds. The results I got came out nothing short of outstanding. I actually found that the prints in my case stuck slightly too much in some instances and did not release as well as they did when the glass cooled down compared to just normal glass or mirrored beds. If I am honest and not knowing the quality of the wrap material that has been used in those on the video I would be tempted to just used good qualify wrap material on an existing planing bed or even on the back of an existing bed. The good quality stuff I have used can be got for not much money in a 1M lengths and for about the same money as buying a pre-made bed with the bonus that you get a whole lot more to wrap others / replacements.

@tad2021 6 месяцев назад

I've been using "PEY" holographic print surface a couple years and they work strangely very well. Print adhesion and release has be as good or better than textured on most of the prints I've thrown at them. Not all material types will pick up the holographic effect. ASA didn't as much but ABS did. I printed a bunch of V0 parts and none lifted. It's nice being able to buy these easily, finally. For years, the only source was to DM a random guy in HK through a translator. I bought the last few though a couple of the major 3d printer sellers in Ali. PEY one side and nicely textured the other. Cost is likely going to jump after the increased coverage. I got my v0 sized plates for 7USD each shipped and the mk2 and v2.4 for around 15 and 20-something. The big question is how well they hold up over time. For what it's worth, the holographic surface is technically a textured surface, just that the texture is at the scale of visible light.

@rcmaniac25 6 месяцев назад

These have certainly made the rounds. Maybe a little over a year ago, an Aussie who was streaming their Bambu had a PEY bed and basically everyone did a double take. Being in Australia, shipping anything to them is expensive so they often go to Aliexpress and spotted one of these and gave it a try. Fast forward, lots and lots of people use them and their very popular with model sellers as an added eyecatching element when someone looks to see if they want to buy the model. I'm glad you explained the letters, because I didn't really find things explaining what they all meant. Now I know it's really just the pattern (and one of the commenters explained this is Polypropylene).

@zviratko 6 месяцев назад

I have been using some of these for a few months. The bed adhesion isn't as good as regular PEI, yet still good for PLA, but your prints obviously don't have enough squish on the first layer as even the infill direction is very obvious but it should be smooth. Either add ~5% flow for the first layer, or use lower first layer height. I have printed huge parts on those without warping. The colorful ones do stick a bit worse than those with patterns but all of them are good for regular PLA. The only time I had trouble was with PLA-CF and PETG-CF and using a 0.3mm extrusion width with a 0.4mm nozzle (not enough squish). You can use a very slight spray of 3D LAC on those without impacting the pattern.

They all look cool, the carbon fiber one is the only one I don't like that much. For certain decorative items, these are all great. I figure over time, the microscopic pattern will get clogged with filament which is impossible to clean properly, and the patterns won't look as nice anymore, that's just to be expected. At least they're pretty cheap.
