JJ, Jerry and Guy have a great conversation on a lot of different topics. New printers, printer issues and other fun 3d printing things.

This Episodes Questions: Hey guys! Long time listener, first time caller! I recently took home an old(ish) Fusion3 F410. (Our department at work wanted to get rid of it.) We also have a Raise3d Pro3, BambuLab X1C and X1E, so this thing is a real pain to use in comparison. About the only good thing it has going for it is the big build volume (355x355x315), other than that there are a couple of annoyances: - Glass build plate - Auto bed-leveling is hit or miss. It only probes the 4 corners where aluminum tape is used for conductivity. - Reaaally long Bowden tube setup - Weird kevlar string used for the X-Y motion system.. but I guess it works. - Old Duet2 board and RepRap software - Discontinued by Fusion3 I volunteered to take it home because I have some ideas! I want to see if I can breath new life into it with some mods: - Magnetic PEI build plate - Direct-drive extruder on the toolhead - BigTreeTech control board and Klipper Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get the above mods done? I'm not too familiar with Voron printers, but I wonder how much I can pull from their large-format printers as far as parts, electronics used, etc. I can design/print custom part solutions if needed, and have access to sheet metal for the bed. I also have some experience with Klipper, and I think getting that properly configured will be an undertaking on its own. Thanks! Matt Hi guys,I recently stumbled over your podcast and really like the bandwidth of topics you guys talk about! Currently I own 2x K1 Max but will soon replace 1 of them by a K2 Plus. You guys are talking a lot about creating your own configuration settings for materials and such. I would really like to know how should someone approach this systematically. Let's imagine I have Creality print 5.1 ;-) which is splitting all settings on one side to a Filament setting and on the other side to the different layer height configurations. Lately I had a standard PLA - which caused problems - and ended up by changing the temperature in the Filament settings and the max speed in the layer height configuration. This solved the problem but I will never have just one setting to load for this material. So now there are actually two questions: - How to approach a perfect setting for a material (and height) systematically? - Any tips and tricks for Creality Print 5.1 on how to manage multiple settings? Thanks a lot and keep up the good work! Michael from Switzerland

Guy, JJ and Jerry just haviung a great discussion of what they've got going on and what new and coming in the 3D printer market.

[Ep36] You're listening to Episode 9 of 30 ... for National Podcast Post Month! Aka - NaPodPoMo. This episode's featured topic is 3D printing. Specifically, I'll offer a couple of quick resources and tips for 3D printing IO bones.Quick Links:Thingiverse (3D print file website)Printables (3D print file website)Cults (yes, the name of this site is weird, but it's legit for print files ...)Creality (filament printer link)Prusa (filament printer link)Humerus 3D print fileTibia 3D print fileAbout National Podcast Post MonthThe event gives everyone in the podcast community a chance to challenge their skills by posting an episode every day for the entire month of November! So that's what High-Fidelity Conversations will be doing. In order to keep my sanity, the episodes will be shorter (a few minutes), and the topics will be all over the place (still healthcare-themed). Each of the episodes associated with this event will be marked with "NaPodPoMo" somewhere in the title, so you know when all this chaos starts and ends. I hope you enjoy this adventure for November! We'll be back to our normal, monthly pattern for December.Do you have ideas for future guests or topics on this podcast? Maybe you have some thoughts on how to improve the show?

This Episodes Questions: Last Spring I printed a simple 100mm cube with a centered 25mm circular hole out of black PLA using standard slicer settings (2 walls, 15% grid infill).  I intentionally left it outside on a black metal surface all summer, where it was exposed to plenty of heat (over 100 degrees some days), rain, hail, etc.  Today the part seems to be in essentially the same good condition as it was the day I printed it.  Yet I seem to hear that a lot PLA is not suitable for outdoor use, that other materials such as PETG and various others should be used for anything other than indoor decorations.  What are your thoughts on the durability factors of common filaments, and is PLA getting a bad rap?Thank you! Justin Hey all. I've just gotten into 3d printing. I have the a1 mini and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I'm not really into exploring the tinkering aspect of 3d printing, but I'm curious: Just in terms of dollar cost, are there savings starting with a cheap tinkerers printer and then trying to upgrade to something like bambu level reliability? Loren What is a common “mistake” you see in personally designed 3d models which make the prints less likely to succeed with good quality? How can a model be uniquely designed for 3d printing rather than traditional manufacturing methods? Ben

Hello, And Welcome to the 118th Tech@Lunch Full Episode. This week's lunch topic is 3D Printing Materials, beds, and Enclosures. We look at 3D printing materials, beds, and enclosures to see how each aspect impacts the other and how you can best use them. We also investigate different options when creating an enclosure, such as choosing a print bed material and what material to start printing with. We also investigated a few new printer recommendations for printers to start the journey to ones with an enclosure already.  So join us as we 3D Printing Materials, beds and Enclosures.

This Episodes Questions: Howdy!  I just wanted to comment about the last podcast it was mentioned when you put a Bambu printer in LAN only mode bypassing the cloud it asks you for the 10 digit code.  It doesn't do that anymore, you just have to enter the code once and it remembers it now. Leith In Canada today, a Prusa MK4 is $1099 CAD, Bambu's A1 is $719, or Creality is selling the Ender 3 V3 KE for $399. All 3 are bed slingers capable of a sub 20 minute benchy, auto bed-levelling, and input shaping. In the early days of 3D printing, Prusa demanded a premium because they had arguably the best printer on the market. Today, Prusa still prices their printers like they are a cut above,  but the competition has caught up. Does Prusa need to reassess how they price their machines in today's market? Or is that orange paint still worth the Prusa premium? I've been playing around with 3D printing on my ender 3 v2 for almost a year now, and I've pretty much exclusively used PLA. The other day I got my first spool of PETG and I'm amazed, it prints just like PLA but is tougher, more thermal resistant, UV resistant, and the quality is just as good as PLA and just as easy to print. Why are we still predominantly using PLA when PETG exists? Cory Hey Guy, Nathan & JJ, Thanks for everything you guys do! the question is about designing models you could monetize. There are many talented folks come up with original ideas but one size does not fit all. so how about designing similar model for same purpose? truly designing; not removing their logos from their STLs, designing and making STEP files. does it invite copyright issues? just wanted to hear on this from you guys. Thanks, keep up the good work EM Extruded Mind Also, I'm guessing the printer's motion control components are just as important for print quality if not more so, but is there anything new and innovative happening in the motion control space or has decades of industrial automation given us the best we are going to get and all that's left to do is find the best components at the cheapest price? James

Creality hat mit dem K1 Max einen ziemlich großen CoreXY-3D-Drucker auf den Markt gebracht, der es mit den Modellen von Bambu Lab aufnehmen soll. Ich konnte das schon leicht verbesserte Modell in den letzten Wochen intensiv testen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis scheint in Verbindung mit dem großen Bauraum zu stimmen. Doch es gibt viele Dinge, die mich als Neuling wirklich gestört haben.

This Episodes Questions: Hello Guy, JJ, and Nathan, I was wondering if you could discuss the idea that the 3d printing "hobby" has come full circle from the early days of the Stratasys machines to the current crop of machines from BambuLab, Creality, Qidi, Flashforge and the myriad other manufacturers that aren't making "Open Source" machines. Also what are you thoughts about keeping some parts closed while open sourcing other parts, i.e. BambuLab Slicer VS their firmware. I know Guy couldn't give a crap, as long as it prints, but what effect do you think this "partial Open Source-ing" will have on the hobby long term? I mean no one cares that their microwave isn't open source, so does it even matter? Thanks for the podcast and your opinions. -John D Strand Howdy howdy! First off, love the show, thank you for the awesome content. So I'm semi new to printing, semi tech literate, very mechanically inclined, just as a back story haha. Anyway I have an e3v2, been upgrading it a bit and I am at the inevitable crossroads of hotends. I believe y'all have touched on some but I haven't seen a complete episode on them ( or at least titled as such, sorry still catching up on all of them ).  So here are my parameters, e3v2, converted to direct drive, cr touch ( with no reservations on moving it ) and I would like to print hot materials. Sorry for the long winded letter but any help or perspectives would be great! Thank you in advance. Justin Hi guys, Thanks for such a great podcast!My 2 part question is this, I have an old Qidi Xplus that I modded with the icarus 2 mod from Printables. I absolutely love it. However, recently, I needed to change the heartbreak. I am using a Phaetus Dragon standard flow with an Orbitor 2 extruder.    I somehow managed to damage the 4 tiny posts that go into the dragon.  I have ordered replacements from numerous places online like Ali Express and Triangle Labs. For some weird reason, I have been having issues with receiving these after ordering multiple times. Other items arrive, just not these stupid posts. So I was wondering if you knew of a hack I could use to replace them with?  Such a strange design in my opinion.   Any advice is appreciated.  I now understand why Nathan threw one of these Qidi printers in the trash. If you have time to answer this, I would also like to put a better main board in this machine. Any suggestions?  Cheers and thank you in advance! Jesse from Burbank,CA.

Man kann richtig schnelle 3D-Drucker kaufen wie den Babulab X1C, P1P den Creality K1 oder den Quidi X-Max 3. Alle werben mit Beschleunigungen bis 20.000 mm/s². Mit diesen Beschleunigungen können sie aber vor allem eins: So stark rütteln, dass die Drucke unbenutzbar werden. In sinnvollen Druckprofilen beschleunigen sie eher mit 7000 bis 9000 mm/s² und drucken dann aber auch nutzbare Teile aus. An den realen Werten erkennt man dann auch, dass die Drucker mit gleich hohen Angaben im Datenblatt dann doch nicht gleich gut konstruiert sind. Für Käufer ist es da schwierig, den besten Drucker auszuwählen. Für den Uplink haben wir uns @MattThePrintingNerd ins Studio geholt, der mit dem The 100 den schnellsten 3D-Drucker mit Plastikrahmen konstruiert hat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0K9NM08S0IA). Er hat einen Bumbulab-X1C testweise mit Klipper betrieben und so getestet, welche realen Beschleunigungen auf der gekauften Hardware möglich sind. Der Test zeigt: Bambulab hat vieles richtig gemacht. Aber trotzdem sollte man genau hinsehen und sich nicht von hohen Zahlen ablenken lassen. Im Gespräch mit Pina Merkert, die mit ihrem The 100 mit Gehäuse (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNNL7Cl7GKg) respektable 6:23 bei der #speedboatrace gebraucht hat (Matt hat 3:03 geschafft), erklärt der Speed-Printing-Experte, wie man fürs Datenblatt geschönte Beschleunigungswerte durchschaut und richtig schnelle FDM-3D-Drucker erkennt.

This weeks listeners questions: Hey guys, love the podcast! Leveling - Spring, silicone spacers, wheel locks, use a piece of paper, use a feeler gauge, etc.... for those of us that don't have a BambuLab printer or some machine that auto-levels for you in that there are NO leveling wheels to adjust, what is your guys' step-by-step process for getting a good level? Set Z-height, manual level, auto level? Use a piece of paper to gauge height? Keep the springs or swap them out for silicone spacers? There are a lot of "recommendations" on the interwebs when it comes to this and I'd love your take on it. Josh My workplace has a Prusa Mk2.5s that we can use for personal projects. I recently printed a set of inserts for my router table plate. Getting their height extremely accurate is important, and I've found that the prusa is consistently printing thing about .003" thicker than designed. The ID of the holes in the center of the part is consistently.004" undersized. Is this level of accuracy acceptable for a printer like this? What kinda of things can I do tune it? Should I just account for it in my designs? Or am I being too damn picky? Enjoying the podcast, keep it up. P.S. Guy, if you've got any printers you want taken off your hands, you should reach out to me before your son! I'll trade you a knife Theo Hi, im Altair and i love the 3d printing world and your podcasts is so usefull to me, but ill get to the point. I have a Ender 3 V2 Neo, its great but im not im home a lot and i cant use i a lot, so, could you recomend me a tiny printer that i could move and take with me. Thanks. Altair

This episodes questions: With the new addition of podcasts to youtube music, do you guys have any plans of uploading podcasts to that platform on a separate channel?   Shortandstumpy A month ago one of the capacitors on the mainboard exploded. It stunk quite bad but the whole 3D-Printer still works. I did use it for a long time but I didn´t do any upgrades or changes on it. Can I still use it? Love your podcast! David So I'm relatively new to the 3D printing community and I've been able to acquire a few printers from an auction site here in Vegas where 3D printers go extremely cheap. An Ender 3 S1, Flashforge Adventurer 3 Pro and Phrozen Mighty 8K resin printer. I've also been lucky enough to find an original stock Prusa i3 MK2 for $100 through the Marketplace. If you were to choose between the MK2 and S1 which would you choose and why? Linus something that JJ mentioned in this episode was power outages (whilst printing a helmet for example)… I don't really understand when/who needs an uninterrupted power supply. These power outages that people talk about, are they momentary outages that cause print failures, or are they longer outages? I ask because I am about to buy my first 3d printer, and I've never owned any kind of battery-based power supply protection. Using my computer, I never notice any power outages other than the longer outage kind. So my question is, what kind of power outages are you referring to and are they common? I would guess the sort of very short power interruptions that commonly occur but most people never notice, are usually handled by capacitors for small electronics. But I'm supposing the power consumption of a 3d printer means the capacitors they have for the motor drivers are not specified to provide much power supply protection… please could you discuss the topic of power supply, the sorts of power outages that people can commonly expect, and who really needs to invest in power supply interruption solutions. Great podcast, thanks in advance.  Tom

This episodes questions: Jacob  With the recent debacle between Bambu and Prusa. I was wondering about Bambu patents. As far as I am aware a patent is only enforceable if it was an original thought. The only two things I can even think Bambu has added to the knowledge the community had is the “LIDAR” and the more precise carbon rods. Everything else about the printer has been done like purge bucket, Multi material, Linear advance and pressure advance. I was wonder your guys thoughts on really how much could Bambu patient? I can't see much damage being done “LIDAR” kinda sucks and is not needed and there are other ways to cut weight like the Ultra light 2020. Love the podcast gives me some knowledge and entertainment at work. Gary  Ratajczak  Helping family friends that own a canoe company get started in 3D Printing for some accessories and prototyping - I have no experience accept for Fusion 360.  Getting overwhelmed with all the info.  They are looking for an enclosed unit, without the need for a lot of tweaking.  First project is printing a higher strength carbon filament.  Not interested in units that are not yet on the market, and ones without support as this will be used for some light production.  Do you guys have some tips to get me started. I hear Prusa the most, but it does not look like they have an enclosed unit.  I have watched many videos, but don't know what I don't know.  I understand nothing is perfect, but just looking to get them off to a good solid start while we learn and ramp up. New listener - enjoying greatly!! Stephen Shankles Hey guys, JJ's brother Stephen here. I've been enjoying the podcast, keep up the good work. I've got a small 3d printer JJ gave me about a year ago and it's been great fun making small things and toys for the kids, but I've been struggling to find many truly useful projects to make with it.  I'm a professional furniture maker and run my own wood shop, and I'm sure there are ways a 3d printer can be used in that context.  Can you guys tell me what your favorite uses for 3d printing are?  Things that are better or more useful for having been printed.  

One of the hardest parts of telling any history, is which innovations are significant enough to warrant mention. Too much, and the history is so vast that it can't be told. Too few, and it's incomplete. Arguably, no history is ever complete. Yet there's a critical path of innovation to get where we are today, and hundreds of smaller innovations that get missed along the way, or are out of scope for this exact story. Children have probably been placing sand into buckets to make sandcastles since the beginning of time. Bricks have survived from round 7500BC in modern-day Turkey where humans made molds to allow clay to dry and bake in the sun until it formed bricks. Bricks that could be stacked. And it wasn't long before molds were used for more. Now we can just print a mold on a 3d printer.   A mold is simply a block with a hollow cavity that allows putting some material in there. People then allow it to set and pull out a shape. Humanity has known how to do this for more than 6,000 years, initially with lost wax casting with statues surviving from the Indus Valley Civilization, stretching between parts of modern day Pakistan and India. That evolved to allow casting in gold and silver and copper and then flourished in the Bronze Age when stone molds were used to cast axes around 3,000 BCE. The Egyptians used plaster to cast molds of the heads of rulers. So molds and then casting were known throughout the time of the earliest written works and so the beginning of civilization. The next few thousand years saw humanity learn to pack more into those molds, to replace objects from nature with those we made synthetically, and ultimately molding and casting did its part on the path to industrialization. As we came out of the industrial revolution, the impact of all these technologies gave us more and more options both in terms of free time as humans to think as well as new modes of thinking. And so in 1868 John Wesley Hyatt invented injection molding, patenting the machine in 1872. And we were able to mass produce not just with metal and glass and clay but with synthetics. And more options came but that whole idea of a mold to avoid manual carving and be able to produce replicas stretched back far into the history of humanity. So here we are on the precipice of yet another world-changing technology becoming ubiquitous. And yet not. 3d printing still feels like a hobbyists journey rather than a mature technology like we see in science fiction shows like Star Trek with their replicators or printing a gun in the Netflix show Lost In Space. In fact the initial idea of 3d printing came from a story called Things Pass By written all the way back in 1945! I have a love-hate relationship with 3D printing. Some jobs just work out great. Others feel very much like personal computers in the hobbyist era - just hacking away until things work. It's usually my fault when things go awry. Just as it was when I wanted to print things out on the dot matrix printer on the Apple II. Maybe I fed the paper crooked or didn't check that there was ink first or sent the print job using the wrong driver. One of the many things that could go wrong.  But those fast prints don't match with the reality of leveling and cleaning nozzles and waiting for them to heat up and pulling filament out of weird places (how did it get there, exactly)! Or printing 10 add-ons for a printer to make it work the way it probably should have out of the box.  Another area where 3d printing is similar to the early days of the personal computer revolution is that there are a few different types of technology in use today. These include color-jet printing (CJP), direct metal printing (DMP), fused deposition modeling (FDM), Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM, multi-jet printing (MJP), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser melting (SLM), and selective laser sintering (SLS). Each could be better for a given type of print job to be done. Some forms have flourished while others are either their infancy or have been abandoned like extinct languages. Language isolates are languages that don't fit into other families. Many are the last in a branch of a larger language family tree. Others come out of geographically isolated groups. Technology also has isolates. Konrad Zuse built computers in pre-World War II Germany and after that aren't considered to influence other computers. In other words, every technology seems to have a couple of false starts. Hideo Kodama filed the first patent to 3d print in 1980 - but his method of using UV lights to harden material doesn't get commercialized.  Another type of 3d printing includes printers that were inkjets that shot metal alloys onto surfaces. Inkjet printing was invented by Ichiro Endo at Canon in the 1950s, supposedly when he left a hot iron on a pen and ink bubbled out. Thus the “Bubble jet” printer. And Jon Vaught at HP was working on the same idea at about the same time. These were patented and used to print images from computers over the coming decades. Johannes Gottwald patented a printer like this in 1971. Experiments continued through the 1970s when companies like Exxon were trying to improve various prototyping processes. Some of their engineers joined an inventor Robert Howard in the early 1980s to found a company called Howtek and they produced the Pixelmaster, using hot-melt inks to increment the ink jet with solid inks, which then went on to be used by Sanders Prototype, which evolved into a company called Solidscape to market the Modelmaker. And some have been used to print solar cells, living cells, tissue, and even edible birthday cakes. That same technique is available with a number of different solutions but isn't the most widely marketable amongst the types of 3D printers available. SLA There's often a root from which most technology of the day is derived. Charles, or Chuck, Hull coined the term stereolithography, where he could lay down small layers of an object and then cure the object with UV light, much as the dentists do with fillings today. This is made possibly by photopolymers, or plastics that are easily cured by an ultraviolet light. He then invented the stereolithography apparatus, or SLA for short, a machine that printed from the bottom to the top by focusing a laser on photopolymer while in a liquid form to cure the plastic into place. He worked on it in 1983, filed the patent in 1984, and was granted the patent in 1986.  Hull also developed a file format for 3D printing called STL. STL files describe the surface of a three-dimensional object, geometrically using Cartesian coordinates. Describing coordinates and vectors means we can make objects bigger or smaller when we're ready to print them. 3D printers print using layers, or slices. Those can change based on the filament on the head of a modern printer, the size of the liquid being cured, and even the heat of a nozzle. So the STL file gets put into a slicer that then converts the coordinates on the outside to the polygons that are cured. These are polygons in layers, so they may appear striated rather than perfectly curved according to the size of the layers. However, more layers take more time and energy. Such is the evolution of 3D printing. Hull then founded a company called 3D Systems in Valencia California to take his innovation to market. They sold their first printer, the SLA-1 in 1988. New technologies start out big and expensive. And that was the case with 3D Systems. They initially sold to large engineering companies but when solid-state lasers came along in 1996 they were able to provide better systems for cheaper.  Languages also have other branches. Another branch in 3d printing came in 1987, just before the first SLA-1 was sold.  Carl Deckard  and his academic adviser Joe Beaman at the University of Texas worked on a DARPA grant to experiment with creating physical objects with lasers. They formed a company to take their solution to market called DTM and filed a patent for what they called selective laser sintering. This compacts and hardens a material with a heat source without having to liquify it. So a laser, guided by a computer, can move around a material and harden areas to produce a 3D model. Now in addition to SLA we had a second option, with the release of the Sinterstation 2500plus. Then 3D Systems then acquired DTM for $45 million in 2001. FDM After Hull published his findings for SLA and created the STL format, other standards we use today emerged. FDM is short for Fused Deposition Modeling and was created by Scott Crump in 1989. He then started a company with his wife Lisa to take the product to market, taking the company public in 1994. Crump's first patent expired in 2009.  In addition to FDM, there are other formats and techniques. AeroMat made the first 3D printer that could produce metal in 1997. These use a laser additive manufacturing process, where lasers fuse powdered titanium alloys. Some go the opposite direction and create out of bacteria or tissue. That began in 1999, when Wake Forest Institute of Regenerative medicine grew a 3D printed urinary bladder in a lab to be used as a transplant. We now call this bioprinting and can take tissue and lasers to rebuild damaged organs or even create a new organ. Organs are still in their infancy with success trials on smaller animals like rabbits. Another aspect is printing dinner using cell fibers from cows or other animals. There are a number of types of materials used in 3D printing. Most printers today use a continuous feed of one of these filaments, or small coiled fibers of thermoplastics that melt instead of burn when they're heated up. The most common in use today is PLA, or polylactic acid, is a plastic initially created by Wall Carothers of DuPont, the same person that brought us nylon, neoprene, and other plastic derivatives. It typically melts between 200 and 260 degrees Celsius. Printers can also take ABS filament, which is short for acrylonitrile-butadien-styerene. Other filament types include HIPS, PET, CPE, PVA, and their derivative forms.  Filament is fed into a heated extruder assembly that melts the plastic. Once melted, filament extrudes into place through a nozzle as a motor sends the nozzle on a x and y axis per layer.  Once a layer of plastic is finished being delivered to the areas required to make up the desired slice, the motor moves the extruder assembly up or down on a z axis between layers. Filament is just between 1.75 millimeters and 3 millimeters and comes in spools between half a kilogram and two kilograms. These thermoplastics cool very quickly. Once all of the slices are squirted into place, the print is removed from the bed and the nozzle cools off. Filament comes in a number of colors and styles. For example, wood fibers can be added to filament to get a wood-grained finish. Metal can be added to make prints appear metallic and be part metal.  Printing isn't foolproof, though. Filament often gets jammed or the spool gets stuck, usually when something goes wrong. Filament also needs to be stored in a temperature and moisture controlled location or it can cause jobs to fail. Sometimes the software used to slice the .stl file has an incorrect setting, like the wrong size of filament. But in general, 3D printing using the FDM format is pretty straight forward these days. Yet this is technology that should have moved faster in terms of adoption. The past 10 years have seen more progress than the previous ten though. Primarily due to the maker community. Enter the Makers The FDM patent expired in 2009. In 2005, a few years before the FDM patent expired, Dr. Adrian Bowyer started a project to bring inexpensive 3D printers to labs and homes around the world. That project evolved into what we now call the Replicating Rapid Prototyper, or RepRap for short.  RepRap evolved into an open source concept to create self-replicating 3D printers and by 2008, the Darwin printer was the first printer to use RepRap. As a community started to form, more collaborators designed more parts. Some were custom parts to improve the performance of the printer, or replicate the printer to become other printers. Others held the computing mechanisms in place. Some even wrote code to make the printer able to boot off a MicroSD card and then added a network interface so files could be uploaded to the printer wirelessly. There was a rising tide of printers. People were reading about what 3D printers were doing and wanted to get involved. There was also a movement in the maker space, so people wanted to make things themselves. There was a craft to it. Part of that was wanting to share. Whether that was at a maker space or share ideas and plans and code online. Like the RepRap team had done.  One of those maker spaces was NYC Resistor, founded in 2007. Bre Pettis, Adam Mayer, and Zach Smith from there took some of the work from the RepRap project and had ideas for a few new projects they'd like to start. The first was a site that Zach Smith created called Thingiverse. Bre Pettis joined in and they allowed users to upload .stl files and trade them. It's now the largest site for trading hundreds of thousands of designs to print about anything imaginable. Well, everything except guns. Then comes 2009. The patent for FDM expires and a number of companies respond by launching printers and services. Almost overnight the price for a 3D printer fell from $10,000 to $1,000 and continued to drop. Shapeways had created a company the year before to take files and print them for people. Pettis, Mayer, and Smith from NYC Resistor also founded a company called MakerBot Industries. They'd already made a little bit of a name for themselves with the Thingiverse site. They knew the mind of a maker. And so they decided to make a kit to sell to people that wanted to build their own printers. They sold 3,500 kits in the first couple of years. They had a good brand and knew the people who bought these kinds of devices. So they took venture funding to grow the company. So they raised $10M in funding in 2011 in a round led by the Foundry Group, along with Bezos, RRE, 500 Startups and a few others. They hired and grew fast. Smith left in 2012 and they were getting closer and closer with Stratasys, who if we remember were the original creators of FDM. So Stratasys ended up buying out the company in 2013 for $403M. Sales were disappointing so there was a changeup in leadership, with Pettis leaving and they've become much more about additive manufacturing than a company built to appeal to makers. And yet the opportunity to own that market is still there. This was also an era of Kickstarter campaigns. Plenty of 3D printing companies launched through kickstarter including some to take PLA (a biodegradable filament) and ABS materials to the next level. The ExtrusionBot, the MagicBox, the ProtoPlant, the Protopasta, Mixture, Plybot, Robo3D, Mantis, and so many more.  Meanwhile, 3D printing was in the news. 2011 saw the University of Southhampton design a 3d printed aircraft. Ecologic printing cars, and practically every other car company following suit that they were fabricating prototypes with 3d printers, even full cars that ran. Some on their own, some accidentally when parts are published in .stl files online violating various patents.  Ultimaker was another RepRap company that came out of the early Darwin reviews. Martijn Elserman, Erik de Bruin, and Siert Wijnia who couldn't get the Darwin to work so they designed a new printer and took it to market. After a few iterations, they came up with the Ultimaker 2 and have since been growing and releasing new printers  A few years later, a team of Chinese makers, Jack Chen, Huilin Liu, Jingke Tang, Danjun Ao, and Dr. Shengui Chen took the RepRap designs and started a company to manufacturing (Do It Yourself) kits called Creality. They have maintained the open source manifesto of 3D printing that they inherited from RepRap and developed version after version, even raising over $33M to develop the Ender6 on Kickstarter in 2018, then building a new factory and now have the capacity to ship well over half a million printers a year. The future of 3D Printing We can now buy 3D printing pens, over 170 3D Printer manufacturers including 3D systems, Stratasys, and Ceality but also down-market solutions like Fusion3, Formlabs, Desktop Metal, Prusa, and Voxel8. There's also a RecycleBot concept and additional patents expiring every year.  There is little doubt that at some point, instead of driving to Home Depot to get screws or basic parts, we'll print them. Need a new auger for the snow blower? Just print it. Cover on the weed eater break?  Print it. Need a dracolich mini for the next Dungeons and Dragons game? Print it. Need a new pinky toe. OK, maybe that's a bit far. Or is it? In 2015, Swedish Cellink releases bio-ink made from seaweed and algae, which could be used to print cartilage and later released the INKREDIBLE 3D printer for bio printing. The market in 2020 was valued at $13.78 billion with 2.1 million printers shipped. That's expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 21% for the next few years. But a lot of that is healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and prototyping still. Apple made the personal computer simple and elegant. But no Apple has emerged for 3D printing. Instead it still feels like the Apple II era, where there are 3D printers in a lot of schools and many offer classes on generating files and printing.  3D printers are certainly great for prototypers and additive manufacturing. They're great for hobbyists, which we call makers these days. But there will be a time when there is a printer in most homes, the way we have electricity, televisions, phones, and other critical technologies. But there are a few things that have to happen first, to make the printers easier to use. These include: Every printer needs to automatically level. This is one of the biggest reasons jobs fail and new users become frustrated. More consistent filament. Spools are still all just a little bit different. Printers need sensors in the extruder that detect if a job should be paused because the filament is jammed, humid, or caught. This adds the ability to potentially resume print jobs and waste less filament and time. Automated slicing in the printer microcode that senses the filament and slices. Better system boards (e.g. there's a tool called Klipper that moves the math from the system board on a Creality Ender 3 to a Raspberry Pi). Cameras on the printer should watch jobs and use TinyML to determine if they are going to fail as early as possible to halt printing so it can start over. Most of the consumer solutions don't have great support. Maybe users are limited to calling a place in a foreign country where support hours don't make sense for them or maybe the products are just too much of a hacker/maker/hobbyist solution. There needs to be an option for color printing. This could be a really expensive sprayer or ink like inkjet printers use at first We love to paint minis we make for Dungeons and Dragons but could get amazingly accurate resolutions to create amazing things with automated coloring.  For a real game changer, the RecycleBot concept needs to be merged with the printer. Imagine if we dropped our plastics into a recycling bin that 3D printers of the world used to create filament. This would help reduce the amount of plastics used in the world in general. And when combined with less moving around of cheap plastic goods that could be printed at home, this also means less energy consumed by transporting goods. The 3D printing technology is still a generation or two away from getting truly mass-marketed. Most hobbyists don't necessarily think of building an elegant, easy-to-use solution because they are so experienced it's hard to understand what the barriers of entry are for any old person. But the company who finally manages to crack that nut might just be the next Apple, Microsoft, or Google of the world.

This Episodes Listener Questions: From Hurz: How does Guy feel about wood filled filament? From Derek: Hello from Tasmania! Really enjoying the 3D printing podcast after consuming most of the woodshop life podcasts. I also started in woodworking and have branched out to 3D printing after getting a second hand Creality CR6-SE about a year ago. My question: can you talk about your preferred method for storing filament and keeping it dry. Also is there a shelf life for filaments or if stored properly could they be used indefinitely? Second question: pros and cons of having an enclosure. I print with PETG or PLA+. I mainly make jigs and accessories for the workshop (eg TIG tungsten grinder, right angle sanding jig for festool sander, drill bit holders etc). Is there any advantage for me to make an acrylic enclosure for my printer? Would i get any improvements in terms of print quality? My house is climate controlled and has very stable temp and humidity levels.Possible question 3: Have you ever had a 3D printer malfunction or catch fire (worst case scenario) with extended or overnight use. Just wondering how well these machines might stand up to a longer period of use. I sometimes might have to leave the house when there's a lengthy print happening but sometimes worry about what could happen when left unattended. Given there are electrics plus heat in combination, any tips on safety and fire risk? Thanks! From Brent: Hello love the show I'm currently at a loss I have been 3d printing for a year now and have had several solid prints on ender 5 pro. We ended up having a large storm and it still worked after words but with issues I've fixed almost all of them by upgrading and replacing certain parts but my current issue is that the walls of my prints are separated not layer lines but looking down at the walls they are separated when they where one before and I have asked many 3d printing groups and they only send me to same websites that haven't been able to help any ideas I'm ready to burn this printer to the ground thank you sorry for the length of this message

This week let's have an extended talk all about Open Source, @Prusa3D , @BambuLab , @Creality3D , and others. The impact of our recent video (https://youtu.be/fTsmf8GrNpI) has sparked some conversations that I think bear reason to continue, in an unedited, live format. I think it is important to have a further discussion about competition, open source, closed source, the history of it all, and really discuss how this can and will change the industry. Topics to Cover: Open source vs Closed source Bambu Lab Vs Prusa Bambu Vs. Creality (and others) Why Open Source Matters? How Closed Source can be better Why Makers prefer Open Source. Intellectual Property Patents, and how they can be both beneficial and problematic AND MORE!!! __________________________________ Do you have an idea you want to get off the ground?

These printers are very popular with makers, students and engineers: they are fairly easy to set up and have auto-leveling/calibration. We happened to pick one of these up a few months ago, had it put together in a few hours on the weekend, and printing. The quality is great, and we've had no issues with clogged nozzles or failed prints. If the last printer you owned was a Cupcake kit, you'll be impressed with how far printers have come these days. It's common to get touch screens, WiFi control, cameras, configurable temperature and pre-heat, and firmware upgrades. No special tools, soldering or Arduino coding is required to assemble, either. Once you've got your printer going, check out the Ruiz Bro's 3D Hangouts playlist for hundreds of videos with tons of info on how to create great looking, easy-to-print designs. (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjF7R1fz_OOVgpmWevin2slopw_A3-A8Y) We've also got a huge collection of models for various Adafruit boards (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CAD_Parts) to make it easy to integrate them into your design. Digi-Key also stocks hundreds of different spools of filament (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/3d-printing-filaments/944), so be sure to pick up some fun colors or materials to go along. There's also a huge number of accessories available if you need replacement nozzles, fans, heaters, beds, etc. (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/3d-printing-accessories/956) If you want to get started with 3D printing, you can order today and have it delivered from Digi-Key's US warehouse for immediate shipment with no import shipping issues.

This week we are joined by Jaime Van Kessel, a Software Architect for Ultimaker Cura and has been working with 3D printers for the past 9 years. Outside of work he makes props and robots for Live Action roleplaying games under the name Frivolous Engineering. Jaime is one of the people responsible for the BRAND NEW CURA 5.0 release. Funny how Cura get's to 5.0 before Simplify 3D, but I am sure we will be talking about it! Get ready because we will be talking all about what it takes to become a software architect, how different Cura 5.0 is from previous releases, as well as Jaime's thoughts on Intellectual Property and the debacle going on with Creality, Anycubic, and Siraya Tech. __________________________________ Do you have an idea you want to get off the ground?

We picked up a 3D Printer over the holiday season and while it has been a blast to use and an integral part for some of the Retro PC YouTube projects it was not without its problems. In this episode we talk about getting into 3D Printing along with some of the things you should know and what you should pay attention to when printing your projects.

Voici le debrief M&D de la semaine: test imprimante 3D Creality CR10 Smart, 30 objets à imprimer pour la maison connectée, comment booster son Livret A à 12%, test du purificateur d'air Sharp, nouveautés Philips Hue, les bons plans du moment, et les articles à ne pas louper chez nos confrères !

Some old friends of JB join Alex to discuss 3D printing. Special Guests: chzbacon and Drew DeVore.

This podcast episode covers the physics behind Stefans recently reviewed CHT nozzle and his DIY version of it. Both discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this design and how it compares to a Volcano hotend. Stefan briefly talks about how he got kicked from AMAZON with his threaded inserts. The big topic is the Prusa XL and its new, smart features. This new design includes an extrusion force sensor that another company is using to print fully dense FDM parts so Tom and Stefan analyze whether this might also be something that could be implemented on the Prusa. The last topic covers the CoPrint which is an MMU project that Creality seems to endorse, though also comes at a steep price tag. Questions cover a novel 3D laminating technique, the question of why thermal fuses are rarely used in 3D printers, and how much Tom and Stefan earn with this podcast.

Brian, Eric and Carl Tuttle of The Independent Characters fame talk about 3D printing - what interests us about it, where we see it's role in the hobby, our individual perspectives on files that dance (or advance and charge) across the IP infringement line, and how to get started if you're interested.

Episode 42, our Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Special

Freebooting everything! Tom's whole website got copied and translated to French by an Affiliate Portal. One of Stefan's videos was re-uploaded by an Instagram channel as well as shots from his videos were taken to advertise threaded inserts on Amazon. Both talk about their way to appeal and defend themselves against those cases and correct a couple of things from a recent episode. They further discuss the eco-friendliness of PLA and a recent news article where the German website Heise found a trojan in the SD card files that can be downloaded on Crealitys website. Questions cover SLS printing with PLA and PETG powder, thermo-mechanical simulation of FDM 3D prints, and a set of rules for the 10 minutes 3D Benchy challenge.

Hackaday editors Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi contemplate a few of the most interesting stories that made their way through the tubes this week. We'll learn how old VHS tapes can be turned into a unique filament for your 3D printer, and realize that the best way to learn about a 2,000 year old computer is to break out the hand drill and make one yourself. Hobby grade RC gear and a some foam board stand in for SpaceX's next-generation Mars spacecraft, and a manufacturer of cheap 3D printers attempts to undercut a popular open source project with hilarious results. Finally, we'll take a close look at some hidden aluminum boogers and discuss how China's history making trek to the Moon might be a prelude to the country making a giant leap of their own. Read the show notes!

Nous sommes le 17 décembre et nous enregistrons notre 284ème épisode, l'antépénultième de l'année 2020. Au sommaire de notre revue de presse hebdomadaire : Quand l'une des dimensions de l'impression 3D est infinie, ça fait de très longs ateliers.

3D Printed "meat" is the hot topic right now! Stefan and Tom cover two approaches that aim to print texture into vegan "steak" and "salmon". Both look promising, but like with most 3D printed food, the hard challenges remain to be solved. Can a huge show like Formnext happen in the current pandemic? Apparently the answer is "yes", as TCT Asia has just finished. Staying with Asia, Creality is reporting record shipments for the month of march - but might be infringing on a patent with their latest model!
