You always seem like someone plucked a craftsman out of the 1800’s and brought them to modern times; used to old school tools, but thrilled to try all the crazy new things we have now!
I hope you've enjoyed the video! But, like Some of you have already mentioned, I've made the pigeon right side up wich is the wrong way around, I've done goofed again😅.
You should definitely get with Elegoo and ask them to send you one of their PHECDA 20W laser cutters. Be sure to ask them for the enclosure though, because it's kinda hazardous in an enclosed space. With some ventilation and/or filtration, it's an insanely capable machine. I know you're more about the artisanal skills, but this new fangled technology is pretty cool too! I use mine for leather working mainly, but it is very capable with thin wood, and can engrave stainless steel and aluminum.
I love the crossover between art and engineering on your channel. It feels like a late 18th century "inventor" time travelled and is learning about 20/21st century tools.
Yeah I think youre right. Have a similar elgoo and it prints the most random barely setup stuff just fine for me, think i had 1 or 2 failures out of everything since i started.
I had a lot of issues with prints sticking to the bottom of the vat in the beginning. I ended up applying a thin coat of the film type lube to it and increased exposure time for the first few layers. Also roughed up the aluminium plate a bit. Haven't had an issue since.
I bought nFEP film instead of the regular FEP sheets for both of my printers, it peels much easier and lasts way longer, totally worth the extra money if you get it from a reputable source.
In most cases a CNC mill or laser will be better, and now they are so cheap I doubt many places have a Pantograph. Which is an opportunity if you have space - must be heaps of these things kicking around out there now, and because you have a human in the control loop they are really really powerful for the sort of stuff Uri likes to do - That artistic, often a one off yet with some repeating elements like the upside down bird engraving a human with the right template and pantograph can just do, and place wherever they like on the part trivially. I'd love to have one, even though I know I'm hopefully this year going to get around to that light duty CNC router so just where I'd manage to put one of the pantographs too..
@@foldionepapyrus3441These Deckel brand pantographs are selling for dirt cheap here in Germany. Every company that still has one is trying to get rid of them. So if you have the space and means to transport it they're absolutely wonderful!
just a heads up, you want the screws holding the vat of resin down on the printer, all the way in so that it doesnt lift when the print bed lifts. thats prolly the biggest issue you are having with the elegoo. hope this helps!
From watching other channels, I've learned it's important to keep any wood dust/shavings/etc from the moving parts of the mill, as they absorb oil, and can become abrasive. So might be good idea to have a vacuum for sucking up the saw dust when working with wood. Or maybe you're mill can handle it better. At any rate, that mill is super cool with the pantograph feature!
It warms my heart to see the pantomill (that's what I was told it is called). When I was 18 yrs old I operated one of these for a company that made custom embossing dies for business cards, birthday cards, etc. Sadly, I only lasted 8 or 10 months there as I was more interested in being a crazy punk rocker. I still enjoy the memories of running that machine, and wish I had one now! Enjoy your new machine(s)! And thanks for the video! Nice work!
SLA printers can struggle with large flat models. For models like this, printing them at 45 degrees to the bed and adding supports will help limit the surface area in contact with the FEP film (the suction from high surface area can contribute to failed prints). Also, adding a hole for excess resin to drain can help reduce the amount of resin used.
Yeah looking at the bottom of his successful print, it's quite clear there was a massive suction problem and that he was printing it flat and not angling or hollowing it. I think he was treating his SLA printer like an FDM printer.
I was sent here by The Wise and Merciful RU-vid Algorithm, and I am *delighted* to find a maker/woodworker whose process, luck, and results seem FAR closer to how things actually go when I try to do these things. I feel seen and validated-plus, it lets me know that these don't just happen because I'm a screw-up. Also, I *LOVE* your new machine! I'd have snatched it up, too!
I'm quite sure that most RU-vidrs screw it up, bladly. They just either don't put the mess in the video, or just bluff their way out of it, shifting attention elsewere or making a failure seem like something intended. Very few people don't mess up when working. And that kind of master of their craft, usually, would not be to interested in making RU-vid videos, as their market and client base is solid enough it is not worth the trouble.
I love the stamp! What better than a carrier pigeon for a letter? Fun fact: they actually still make and sell stamps and wax for sealing letters - I can tell you firsthand that you'll get a cleaner seal if you chill the stamp before using.
That mill looks like the perfect one for your style of work. I didn’t know pantograph mills like this existed. They look so useful for art and sculpting. There is a way to do complex sculpting without using the pantograph or a 3D printer. You can get a small ball endmill, the smaller the more resolution it has. And plot out all the coordinates needed. Set your X and Y coordinates, then move in slowly to your Z coordinate. Lift back up and move to the next XY then cut down in Z. Plotting out all the moves manually on a piece of paper is the hardest part. You might draw your design on graph paper first and then use that to estimate your X and Y moves. Then estimate the depth you want. A plastic FDM 3D printer with PLA filament is very easy to learn how to use. You might want to try that
All hail, Uri Tuchman Crown Prince of Thingajigs, Lord Protector of Contemporary Antiquities is back! We have missed you and are ecstatic for your return! Wonderful video, fantastic project.
I have complete and utmost trust into Uri for finding the most complicated, difficult and time consuming way to make real art. That said, most people - me included - wouldn't even get this done the "easy way".
I have missed URI's videos, he's a genius in sheep's clothing, fine arts at its best. His humorous antidotes are par excellence and is a pleasure to watch him design, produce and demonstrate his incredible creations. I was so happy when I stumbled upon this video and have enjoyed it very much. Wow, your shop has grown so much since I've seen you. Thank you Sir for your videos, time and inventions a real treat. 👍👍👍
Genuinely upset I haven’t found this channel sooner. A wild cross between a DIY crafts channel, a Wes Anderson movie, something something Kafkaesque, and a RU-vid poop. My sincerest gratitude for your existence.
Thanks Stefan! Im getting to know this machine and I'm very pleased so far, though not having 1:1 can be annoying sometimes, and the cross table is kinda odd, I'm having to reorient the vice quite often to get the cutting range I need. Always had my eyes on the kf series, but it's way to big for my shop 😅.
I’ve been subscribed for quite awhile. Your channel is one I genuinely get excited about seeing notifications from. You’re a clever guy with the great ability to showcase your skill in conjunction with entertainment. I wish you all the very best success in life. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
I am so glad the algorithm blessed me with your videos! You are extremely talented and skilled and we all admire your craft and attention to detail as well as the humour and knowledge you flavour your videos with. Keep going!
Work of art! The stamp and stand for shellac looks elegant. You don't need a CNC machine friend. The joy of creativity is lost in CNC machines. All the best for future crafts.
Ich liebe deine Videos. Die Kunstfertigkeit, den Humor, die Art wie du die Videos machst, deine Musikauswahl (oder wenn du selbst was aus den Sprachschnipseln was geschnipselt hast) ... Immer wieder schön zu sehen. Freue mich auf mehr.
It's been a while since I have seen one of your videos and I must say that you seem to have come a long way since you started making things on this channel. Your skills, knowledge and equipment have seen markable improvements.
