[@ResistCircuitResist]

why is the nozzle so high above the layer, look really cool .

[@mashugames5401]

Probably because it’s a 1.8 nozzle

[@alexdavis5956]

@@mashugames5401 you're right that larger nozzles are weird but they're still designed to smoosh filament By floating the nozzle instead of smooshing here, he can get the largest layer height possible with the nozzle. I think he did this to try and make the print more transparent. The big downside is that since he isn't smooshing the filament like you're supposed to the print won't be as strong

[@spaceflight2608]

​@@alexdavis5956 I think its because he is using vase mode

[@user-bl4oq7fd8d]

​@Alex Davis Yeah, not as strong as a 1.8 mm squished layer... BUT probably still stronger than a 1 mm squished layer, since 1.8 mm has so much contact area between layers even without being squished 😂

[@HonestAuntyElle]

Likely didn't calibrate bed height, in order to have a more interesting video with max layer height

[@FlashDrive356]

Looks incredible! From my experience, the bubbles could be caused by water trapped in the PLA which vaporizes during printing to form larger bubbles. Normally not a problem till the filament has absorbed quite a bit of moisture, but since this is clear it'll be more prominent

[@isaiahschwartz1381]

Could this be avoided by baking out the filament before use? I'm not sure the melting point but maybe something like 65C for 24 hours

[@FlashDrive356]

@@isaiahschwartz1381 Yeah! Though you don't need to put it in for more than an hour or so. I'd do some research because I don't recall the temp and time to use off the top of my head. Food dehydrators also do a decent job, but are better for storing filament then completely getting the moisture out. I would also recommend getting filament boxes with vacuum pumps or silica packets for storage if you don't have any.

[@DamienDavidO]

@@FlashDrive356 I use printdry pro. Baaam she’s good

[@JeffDM]

The bubbles is most likely trapped moisture. The bigger beads you print the more likely you see them. Also the nozzle shouldn't float so high. It's worth experimenting so you're directly extruding to the nozzle tip rather than just dropping material onto the part.

[@hzardiswastez]

I can clearly see this was a great print regardless!

[@JJShankles]

Haha I see what you did there

[@warrenarnold]

​@@JJShankles i can see clearly now the paint is gone, i can see all bubbles in my print,

[@erni2619]

Quite possibly, maybe close, even to Pollos standards

[@Robo_Kong]

That is insanely satisfying

[@BasicSteam7]

The little bubbles is cause by surface moisture in the spool. Try putting the filament in a heated chamber or heat it before the print. It should help a lot 👍 (I do this using clear 2.85mm PETG using a 2.5mm nozzle)

[@kurtlindner]

This looks awesome, and I love the idea of the 1.8mm nozzle.

[@fusiondew]

Clear filament actually might be a great calibration tool. never thought of that

[@marsgizmo]

this looks cool! 😎

[@anotherrandomcommenter4473]

You should print a magnifying glass to see if you can find who asked.

[@partsdave8943]

Something with a standard 0.4 mm nozzle. In this clear filament.

[@whatif8741]

Try printing headlight covers, perhaps ones for antique cars and motorcycles.

[@YourLordMobius]

This will not work

[@huskkyy]

Those are fresnel lenses, doing that yourself would be very illegal and compromising safety

[@athmaid]

Wouldn't they melt?

[@DarkIzo]

i think op is talking about COVERS, not LENSES, so the thing that covers the whole headlight assembly from the elements actually a neat idea for antiques, or cheap/custom copies. only problem would be form. the cover has to be smooth and as transparent as possible, in order not to stray and absorb light.

[@warrenarnold]

​@@DarkIzo take my money 💰

[@McFarts]

This worked way better than the overture PETG! Could you try something without vase mode so it has multiple walls?

[@mowcius]

Overture transparent PETG goes just as glassy clear when you print it with almost no cooling.

[@CrowClouds]

Don't you want to know what specific filament he's using? Why is no one asking this and he's not telling either. So weird >.

[@3dragonprints458]

I’m interested to see how it would look with a regular 0.4 mm nozzle

[@TommyWashow]

far more diffused

[@christineysmalone]

That's really pretty

[@er5943]

Cool. Also reducing the heat reduces bubbles.

[@Whateverpoopiepants]

This with a coloured led would look awesome BECAUSE of the layers. Love it dude.

[@Consecutor_]

Bro Rick Rolled is from the most calm way😂

[@Zaqinabox]

I feel like you could get a cool frosted effect with a much finer nozzle.

[@Room_Temperature_Fridge]

Ngl, it looks like hot glue

[@b1icky]

The bubbles is from 2 things, either wet filament boiling the water out, or your layer height being to high causing the filament to lay inconsistently.

[@shrek2andgoku]

Do you think these bubbles exist on other prints with the 1.8mm nozzle but you just can't see them?

[@Zoroaster4]

I bet they do. I can't think of any reason the clear filament would flow and different than any other. Maybe depending on the additives it's got more or less bubbles but I couldn't really say for certain.

[@nilssondelgado]

​@@Zoroaster4I always had some bubbling when printing with clear PLA, maybe it's the material itself.

[@leothecrafter4808]

It's moisture

[@noway8233]

Of course , some materials like nylon, petg, are very hydroscopic , some pla too , so yuo need to deshidratete before yio print , there little machinrs for that , yuo put yuor rool inside for abput 5-8 hours at 45 60 degrees to deshidrstete withput deformation(temp varies depent of the glass transition tem of the material)

[@callsign_armistice7168]

i think squishing the layers more together would make it clearer

[@greenlionguardian]

As I stated before on these extrusion clear pieces... THIS this what you made has to be DESIGNED to have those layers in it but you can see it looks aw inspiring. its clear limitations aside there is potential.

[@tibalt5208]

that's so cool, never thought pla could be clear, the bubbles are caused by the material, almost all filaments are hallow in the middle from cooling during the manufacturing process so when u melt the filament down the air gets trapped and u can see it because it's clear. that's why some filaments look like a tube.

[@naturegirl92584]

not me thinking this vase was gonna be huge

[@PENFOLD1962]

A cool GOLDFISH BOWL with goldfish!

[@DR.GraffSav]

If you use a smaller nozzle, you can get like a not as clear color glass but if you use a bigger nozzle, then you get a better clear consistency

[@greenfpv]

Can you try to print a glass pain plz

[@vspatmx7458]

Gorgeous stuff

[@MekazaBitrusty]

I would have thought having the nozzle so far up would reduce its chance of fusing with the previous layers.

[@eeclarkutube]

Same. I don’t understand why is extruding it from across the room

[@LAYATORS]

Do a comparison with this nozzle and a 0.1mm nozzle with clear pla!

[@802Garage]

Wow this is super cool!

[@romangregor4552]

this looks so damn nice

[@michealkinney6205]

I've used clear PLA filament and it never turned out that good. Maybe it's the standard 0.4 mm nozzle I used. Great job and I might need to try the thicker one. Thanks!

[@bpindel]

What's the filament

[@TheMattg345]

You should try and print a Fresnel lens or some kind of optical thing, take advantage of the material and medium

[@Prof.Polymath]

Try setting the noddles height correctly next that might help with clarity and bubbles 👍🏼

[@DriesduPreez]

Next print: a clear cube or sphere with a negative shape inside, lit from below using leds

[@DaHaiZhu]

Little bubbles usually indicate the nozzle temperature is too high. Try lowering it by 5c

[@k7l3rworkman97]

Really cool, I would like to see some cool shapes with the clear filament 💯✌🏻😁

[@Chsch5]

Id love to see a single pane, two layer ~2.5mm thick print and sanded to finish and clear coated. I bet you can get some level of transparency with that!

[@WiKiTWoNKa]

Try making a flat 3d printed square and use an iron to see if it gets as clear as glass Just a video idea

[@ipoddrake]

With how clear each individual layer is i assume if you had an ultra wide but darow nozzle you could easily make sheets of clear plastic that were pretty good

[@NickMullet]

[@thecool307]

[@rhekas]

You SHOULD try 0.25 nozzle with that

[@Ellie7591]

It would be really neat if you printed a model of a skeleton with the clear filament

[@Unmannedair]

Those bubbles are water getting vaporized or defects in the line getting trapped air. You can get those bubbles out, but you need to actually have some pressure on your tip when extruding. With your nozzle so high above your print surface, there's no internal pressure required to pop those bubbles. Basically, do exactly what you're already doing, but closer to your print surface.

[@bethannesgarden]

Awesome!

[@Jonymankitty]

Can you make it more see through my sanding/polishing the filament after production? I'm unsure how this clear product would react to such abrasion... but it'd be nice to know!

[@TP-fl9ul]

[@madamepigeon]

Now I wonder if every filaments make those tiny bubbles when it comes out of the nozzle😱
