Am I wrong, or is that thing just an overpriced shell around Supervolcano innards?

Why wire tool v1 files are deleted from GitHub? It's not open source anymore?

Isn't most of the stress on the plastic ends with the fasteners, which just go into plastic that isn't reinforced?

Thanks again, any recommendations on where to purchase spare parts such as the ceramic wire guide. I’m thinking Alibaba or AliExpress or Amazon.

Yes!!!!!

Very neat machine. Please use "ducking" to dial down the music when you're talking. It's very hard to understand you with the music going. Or forgo the music.

Would save a lot of hassle if you could define your start point in the software 👍

I was planning on buying only the power supply and all EDM specialty parts without any printer specific parts since I'm planning to build my own machine around the power supply etc. Your videos so far made me understand a lot better how to design the EDM machine and which parts are critical to wear. As much as I like the offering of software, it's really a world on its own and I think the software, even though it's good, is probably going to need some love ;) My machine is still far from being built, this is a project for Q1 or Q2 2025, but I'm thinking of building my own GCODE generator meanwhile as I've previously already done because I'm quite demanding in this area. This will be done in Grasshopper, meaning I can both create and export my designs directly from Grasshopper. What makes this a powerful combination is that within Grasshopper, you can simply add nodes to add functions. Things like object avoidance can be implemented as well, to turn it into a simple tool that doesn't require too much attention. I can even add a 3D visualization and path planner. It's going to be a rough job, but I'm pretty sure I can even make it so that I can import a 3D model and that it will automatically understand what side needs to be cut so there's no need for a DXF export. I'm based in the EU, so I haven't ordered yet, but I'm also curious if there are going to be future revisions to the PSU and other parts. ps one of the key reasons I want to DIY my own machine is because the other model uses a US-sized fishtank. But these tanks do not exist in the same size in the metric EU as far as I could see. So I'm going to source a container locally, that I can also easily replace if needed.

As a CNC machinist by trade, I would suggest to make sure you always include a decimal in your feed rates. On FANUC based controls, which are used in HAAS machines it can cause the GCODE execution to halt. I'm not well versed on Klipper so I don't know how it will react, I'm sure someone with more experience can chime in.

Hey! I‘m preparing to buy your kit in hopefully the next couple months, depending on how much money I make 😁 Some questions: You use klipper here - is the klipper config file public? Is it working off some modification for klipper or just a stock install? Also, do you plan to offer shipping to germany any time soon?

Are you shipping Powercores right now?

that's really awesome to see the cross section of one of these fancy extruders and your explanation of the parts was also very helpful. great video and thank you

Cool to see your progress from the first videos on your old Zurad channel to now

You can get shielded USB cables that you can just shield to ground to prevent EMI going forward.

have you tried adding a 5V zener on each end of the cable to shunt the emf?

very good product🎉

T pose to mark territory

That is really badass bending jib is that available open source STL? What type of aluminum are you using, 5052?

So I was watching a video by SciCynical inventing about creating his own shredding machine for plastic. And previously had watched another couple videos about people trying to make their own plastic shredders to deal with 3-D filament recycling. When are the issues that comes up is having to get different type of blades made or screws made and I was wondering if maybe your EDM technology would be a cost-effective for people to cut blades for shredding machines instead of having to get laser cut ones done. Edit: I was specifically thinking about the housing he had to have laser cut and that he would be able to cut his own blades a stack of them at a time.

Frick yes. Well done.

What is this

ahh mono audio moment 💀

My right ear loved this video

Music is too loud and makes words hard to understand. Please either don't use music or really make it so like if music isn't there at all (which should be the point anyways). Awesome video!

6:53 You don't have to be super scientific, but this is just ridiculous. "I got an unknown amount of filament through it in an unknown amount of time using a method nobody ever uses in any kind of controlled way that would make it possible to use as a reference for anything at all". At the very least hook up sone standard extruder to it and test the force required at some speed, or how much actual filament got through when trying to extrude a specific amount at increasingly short times. Or, like, anything that can be compared to anything, and then.. get this... actually *do* compare it to some standard hotend.

For anyone wondering, the reason aluminum (t6 hardened) needs to be quenched to be workable is because T6 aluminum gains its strength and hardness from small precipitates that form in the crystal as it slowly cools. Cooling it quickly prevents these precipitates from forming, as the now evenly distributed solute (not-Al) atoms don't have time to come together again, therefore it's much softer.

What is that jacket I want it. lol @rackrobotics

Ive got 1 super crazy idea! Lets mount hotend with a FLAT piece of aluminium not to the side, but to the top of 2020, and then push filament by hand, obviously. And 2nd version with feet for OF 😅

Great production quality

What striations are you talking about at @11:35 ? It seems like you’re pointing to the threads of the copper insert in the video.

Now do the goliath hotend.

I have wasted considerable time trying to find the file to the WIRE vat file but all I can find is the edm vat which appears to be totally different?

So sick dude, I can't wait to get my hands on one of these

"science" ? Ha, more like reverse engeener Xp , thanks

Insanely good presentation, audio is bit low though, should probably bump that up next time!

Cut it all! Great content and real life example of EDM capabilities

Part of the striations are due to the resistance changes from the different thickness and materials. Some of it is tension since you don't have an active tension system to compensate for the wire elongation and lack a despoiling motor to remove the inconsistent resistance and weight of the spool from the equation. Also your flushing pressure, combined with flow turbulence will be moving the wire about. That is a big part of why you would normally do a rough cut and then finish skims in industrial machines. I would agree that lack of a second wire guide combined with the run out of the bearing is not helping matters either. Love the progress you guys are making, just a long way to go to catch up with industrial machines.

Great job on this video! I met you at RMRRF this year! Very cool! Hope to be able to chat again sometime soon. Your table was very busy!

What about that EDM machine?

The intensity in Coopers eyes as he prepares for destruction.

Super fun and informative! For someone who is not too techy, this video was very entertaining and kept my interest! Shared with my boss, he said they are in trouble with me, since my son makes robots! 😅💥💖 Nice job!

Did you take any courses on presentation or performing? Cuz you're a natural

Now wire EDM a positron in half......we dare you! In all seriousness, we would love to see our hot end cut in half!

RIP to the chube

The 1980s elevator music is a bit much.

Hey nice format, I like these videos. You have a great personality :) I can see a bright KZbin career for you in one of the timelines :)

How long did it take to cut out this part? I'm thinking about buying a wire EDM machine, but I'm inexperienced with the cutting speed

You mentioned that the ASA got pretty hot and burned a bit in the hotend, is the heating pretty uneven or concentrated in one part of the hotend?

Would you guys want to see us slice a Slice Engineering hotend? Let us know! Any other crazy ideas for projects?
