3D Printing SOLVED My Truck / Trailer Problem!

[@Perfektliflawedd]

Well, now I need a truck printer. My wife thanks you.

[@LoyalMoses]

😅

[@matthewhirsch2724]

The a1 mini that he used is my go too home printer it’s definitely a small (and your wife will like that it’s an) affordable option at under $200 right now.

[@LoyalMoses]

It's so convenient I think, and the quality and experience are the best out there. Thanks for sharing!

[@meviews]

Whenever I want to get thick walls but not increase my print time, i make the line width 0.8 wide. This makes 3 walls equivalent to 6 0.4 walls. It will increase flow rate through the hot end a lot more but cuts the print time by a lot.

[@LoyalMoses]

Absolutely, there are a ton of ways to reduce the time per layer or number of layers.

[@Setral]

I'm impressed it didn't even creak/crack when you were putting the trailer weight on it. Definitely shows you how great of a tool 3D Printers can be!

[@LoyalMoses]

Absolutely! Just awesome tools.

[@LightOfReason7]

Great job! BTW, if you spread the prongs on the electric plug you won't have to use tape to keep it plugged in

[@LoyalMoses]

Great idea!

[@marcelzuidwijk]

Those mountains are looking gorgeous!

[@LoyalMoses]

Love the views of the west and south west!

[@TheFoxalot]

Epic! Improvement ideas 💡: carry a 0.8mm nozzle and use the thickest layer to get stuff printed faster. Quick fix would have been 0.28mm layer on the 0.4 nozzle. Either way it was still brilliant!

[@LoyalMoses]

Thanks! Great suggestion,

[@mikemtbeerglass875]

This is impressive, I inquired about printing while driving when you guys where on the road , now I see the proof. Keep up the great content.

[@LoyalMoses]

I remember you asking! Thanks! 🔥

[@tmtjg3]

That is still a very good print considering the power loss and the bumpy roads. Gotta love the practical prints especially when in a slight pinch. Love it!

[@LoyalMoses]

I thought so too!

[@86Carrera911]

Practical prints are awesome! I love solving problems with my 3D printers.

[@LoyalMoses]

Heck yeah!

[@tyotee4361]

7:12 right outside of Helper, UT, I do love it down there. Awesome demonstration, my first thought was that a block of wood would be better but this showcases so much more than the print.

[@LoyalMoses]

Thank you! I think it worked out very well, I am going to just leave that block in the truck,

[@byufan]

I’m impressed PLA didn’t break. This is awesome LM! Great job

[@LoyalMoses]

Me too! Fun way to share 3D printing. Thank you!

[@OldManDan2024]

This is absolutely fantastic. This just brightened my day. Thank you.

[@LoyalMoses]

You are so welcome! 🌞

[@nickbutler7935]

I would like to try that in an E.V., it would cripple you with range anxiety. You have redefined 'Printing on the go' 👍👍

[@LoyalMoses]

🪫

[@sjk4823]

Great.. thanks.. now I have to buy another another mini so I can have a truck printer. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣🤣

[@LoyalMoses]

Haha! Everyone needs a truck printer.

[@crazyhands911.]

Also great to hear that anything above 30% infill is not worth it. I was skeptical on the 25% infill, but that block didn't budge an inch with all that weight.

[@LoyalMoses]

It was so solid! I was nervous until it finished and I held it in my hands, that’s when I felt pretty confident it was gonna hold it.

[@buildersmark]

Great use of 3d printing. Very cool of how can solve a problem while traveling.

[@LoyalMoses]

Absolutely! Can’t wait to make even more cool stuff while traveling!

[@starscream8975]

I love how at 6:40 and 6:50 when showing the side mirrors that you have no trailer connected to your truck but some how at 7:44 you magically have a trailer now hmmmmm

[@LoyalMoses]

Haha! We laughed that nobody had caught it yet! We took two trips to Houston, and one was with my children without the trailer and one with the trailer a month later. I didn’t get as much filming done the second time with the trailer, a lot more driving at night.

[@starscream8975]

@@LoyalMoses Yea I didn't notice at first but then I was wait a minute where the trailer go LOL

[@vreedognight]

Really cool video. That was a great practical application and print!

[@LoyalMoses]

Thanks!

[@reprinted3D]

Considering you had a trailer full of filament, I'd say THAT'S using the available resources to solve a problem! Well done, Loyal!

[@LoyalMoses]

Thanks Pete! I could print hundreds of them! 😅

[@CheekyHeeler]

That is a pretty cool block! I loved seeing the travel vlog style video. This was very fun!

[@LoyalMoses]

Thank you! It was a lot of fun to make, and this was our first real try at this type. Hoping we get to make a lot more!

[@Barbasnoo]

I love useful prints!

[@LoyalMoses]

Awesome!

[@wildhostage]

This is my girlfriend's nightmare

[@LoyalMoses]

Haha

[@Spencer1609751]

No handle for the A1 Mini?

[@LoyalMoses]

I haven’t made one yet for it! Definitely should.

[@vaargk]

The truck is my UPS - I am unable to turn it off - the most American thing to say

[@gerGoPrint3D]

What an idea! Beautiful country btw

[@LoyalMoses]

Thank you! 💜🔥

[@dasmehlitier]

Nice project. Just dont use grid infill. Id tends to damage the nozzle. and doing the same block with adaptive cubic would save a lot of time, IMO

[@LoyalMoses]

I suppose we could test, but my first thoughts are that adaptive cubic would have difficulty handling 1,500 pounds.

[@3DLasers]

I'd trade you any day of the week. I'm living in a Prius with my Creality Ender in the back and it's running 24/7 through a 1,000 watt AC Inverter that is being run through 4 100A LifePO4 batteries that charge through the 12V Outlet in the vehicle so I don't always have to have the engine running... 🤓

[@LoyalMoses]

That is pretty cool!

[@kschaffer6978]

Now I have to take a Long Trip with my Minis!!

[@LoyalMoses]

Yes!!! 😁

[@Mr76Pontiac]

This video was posted Dec 13, 2024. It's currently Dec 16, 2024. My Ender 3v2 would still be printing.

[@LoyalMoses]

😳

[@Mr76Pontiac]

50mm/s max on draft is brutal. I am looking at upgrading to something 300+mm/sec. LOVE the tech, have several uses, but, it's just too darn slow. I'm not even looking for quality, just get'r'done'dangit.

[@LoyalMoses]

You will LOVE these new machines! It changes your entire mindset on what to and how to 3D print stuff!

[@sherizaahd]

6:40 Mt. Garfield, 6:43 Bookcliffs , 6:55 Glenwood Canyon (I think)

[@LoyalMoses]

Oh wow! I don't think I can remember where we were!

[@G53X0Y0Z0]

Looks like your trailer jack has an adjustable telescoping foot, judging by the pin.

[@LoyalMoses]

Yup, almost all trailer jacks do.

[@davidshandsii1970]

That's impressive LM

[@LoyalMoses]

Heck yeah!

[@Natesemipro]

Pretty awesome! I need one

[@LoyalMoses]

Okay, I’ll print you one. 😆 I know you don’t mean the printer. 😉

[@Natesemipro]

@ ok, it’s been almost 2 days and I still don’t have my print…

[@Natesemipro]

We both know it wasn’t the ford I was talking about.

[@LoyalMoses]

Oh, keep waiting!

[@spyrit35]

That's awesome Loyal, just don't try it on a motorcycle in a backpack.

[@LoyalMoses]

Haha

[@Luptonium]

Don't you just hate it when the roll falls off the reel holder?

[@LoyalMoses]

Oh man! 😳

[@dmhayes6]

Very cool!

[@LoyalMoses]

Thanks! 💜

[@CaptainHowdyOG]

I was hoping he used the printer as the stand.

[@LoyalMoses]

I mean, I could always give it a try! 😅

[@tubefaze]

Nice.

[@LoyalMoses]

It’s fun to have a truck printer!

[@JMan-m6q]

Could've just used the printer itself (Z rail) l to physically prop up the trailer hitch. 🤣🤣

[@LoyalMoses]

Haha!

[@TheShrimpfather-aka-Martin]

well im impressed lol

[@LoyalMoses]

😁

[@adamr238]

STL?

[@LoyalMoses]

Haha! 😅

[@dwallsace]

just stack two spools under the jack.

[@LoyalMoses]

That could definitely work once or twice! 😅

[@Camaro45th]

You could have tried to shove the cord into the back seat pocket instead of taping it.

[@LoyalMoses]

Could have tried that, but it would have just bounced out!

[@WayneBronikowski]

I had one of mine fall off a shelf today. It literally printed like that for about half an hour before I got to it to fix it. I didn't lose the print or have any layer shift. kzbin.infoMkyPGy_Eh9k?si=dhImPtydE5bHTxwR

[@LoyalMoses]

Yikes! Tough little machines!

[@guaripolo69]

hell yeah lmao, but 2x4s are a thing lmao

[@LoyalMoses]

I forgot the block of wood I usually use. It’s 16” chunk of 8x10.

[@guaripolo69]

@LoyalMoses I bet! Just joking ya know. Honestly surprised at how good it looked even after being printed while driving lol

[@LoyalMoses]

I think that little machine did great!

[@guaripolo69]

@@LoyalMoses just amazing what has Bambu done. I love my a1

[@LoyalMoses]

One of my favorite machines!

[@spyrit35]

That's awesome Loyal, just don't try it on a motorcycle in a backpack.

[@LoyalMoses]

I don’t want to wreck my printer or myself!
