3D Printing IN OUTER SPACE! (yes, really)

[@seekertosecrets]

Well, at least there's no bed to level.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

SO TRUE.

[@awilliams1701]

I've never leveled a bed. Prusa mk3, mk4 (with auto z). Also even enders are level free now.

[@seekertosecrets]

@@awilliams1701 Interesting!

[@Splarkszter]

THIS IS THE KIND OF FUTURE I WAS EXITED ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO

[@3DPrintingNerd]

SAME

[@BeardedPrinter]

I would have never thought there would be such a vast range of use cases for what that kind of printer can produce! Very impressive!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

SO COOL right?

[@revodrvr]

Get baby fever and can't find a mate on mars Just print one. 😂😂😂

[@agarza6475]

"Tea, Earl Grey, hot" - That was perfect ending!!!

[@tatertaught6129]

theyre taking that KSP "mystery goo" seriously

[@Splarkszter]

Same thought. I love the word "goo" because it's funny to say.

[@nomadsgalaxy]

Now we gotta get a Positron up there!

[@xgeko2]

this thing is litterally like the first generation star trek replicator lmfao its so awesome!

[@woodwaker1]

Boeing needs one of these - a really big one, to be delivered to the ISS

Great video. Joel brings us the cutting edge stuff. Mahalo! ❤

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@markwerley6965]

What an excellent video, great job!

[@leggo0]

The skin graph idea is so sci fi cuz I could totally imagine a small version with like a suction cup that you press against the leg and it prints right onto the wound.

[@Billybobble1]

Taylor is living my childhood dream, being on the cutting edge, for the benefit of humanity. Well done sir, well done.

[@gsestream]

spin a radial barrel and print on top of it, like on top of a cd, with exactly right spin radial acceleration, upwards

[@BloodSteyn]

Oh Boi.... "I'm Sorry, I can't print that, Dave." - CAL 9000

[@iopfarmer]

The post processing part is actually the most impressive.

[@lordquinn1605]

How do they get the part out of the liquid in Zero-G without making a liquid mess ?

[@harrisonbergeron9764]

more then likely they suck the liquid back out of the chamber leaving the printed part and do the post curing and processing in the same chamber.

[@shawnswk2048]

The First step towards making replicators!!!!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

3d printingn all at once really starts to open up doors!

[@Chad.The.Flornadian]

You can so totally tell how much Taylor loves working on that project LOL

[@kairi4640]

Kinda sounded like Woody saying "it's a space printer!" 😂 Interesting video. When you think about it, this is like a more primitive form of the replicator from Star Trek. 😮

[@tonyfweb]

This is insane! I love it

[@alanbeandmore]

hey 3d printing nerd my nearest microcenter sells a prototype bambulab a1 mini and my nearest micro center is there new miami location but the prototype bambulab a1 mini should not be on sale because its a prototype

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Is it listed as a prototype?

[@alanbeandmore]

@@3DPrintingNerd yes it is listed as a prototype

@3DPrintingNerd I need your help, I am a 16 year old who has put easily over 1000 dollars in my printer, I’ve come across an issue recently that no one seems to know what is and it won’t go away I’ve spent weeks after weeks trying to get it to work going inside and out of the thing. I need advice from someone who has probably been through the bare bone of printers, heck I’d come drive to you at this point with the amount of money I’ve put in this, I know what you think, it’s probably just some easy fix nothing bad, trust me it’s not. The people of Reddit can’t even help me, I’ve done everything I can taken every piece of advice g code, slicer settings, new parts, tightening and adjusting the printer, you name it, I’ve done it. Please get this to 3D Printing nerd. He may be my last hope 😅

[@Dj-Mccullough]

wheres the prints? want to see.

[@ActivArmor2]

Very, very cool! Loads more to come!

[@doomgolem5348]

I swear some parts of this printer are 3d printed themselves like at 8:30 if they are that's just brilliant

[@heorhiipiskunov1426]

It is still easier for me to imagine (for example) the extraction of methane on Mars to decompose it into ethylene for further processing into polyethylene for FFF printing than the production of some complex polymer resin on another planet. although the prospect of using one substance to print integrated circuits, teeth, wheels and pipe cleaning is very tempting.

[@DeclanMBrennan]

Cool printer. Maybe you buried the lede. 🙂 "This thing prints, post processes and cures in a little over 2 minutes". Just as well as the Virgin Galactic only experiences zero g for 10 to 15 minutes.

[@Aussiemoo]

@@DeclanMBrennan think it's "the lede" :)

[@DeclanMBrennan]

@@Aussiemoo Thanks for the correction. I've had that phrase wrong forever. Here is what "Proofed" has to say about it: Both “bury the lede” and “bury the lead” are acceptable spellings of this phrase. However, “lede” is the journalistic spelling that originated in newsrooms in the mid-20th century. It was created to avoid confusion with “lead,” the metal traditionally used in printing presses.

[@NexGen-3D]

Cool concept, and great work, but I can certainly tell they used that bed slinger to make the parts for it, print quality is a little rough, I would have used a good 3D printer and engineering grade plastics to make the prototype, probably would have used compression fittings instead of cable ties for the hosing, I assume the team building this are all young students, they probably could have used some input from some older mechanical engineers and mechanical fitters, but once again, great work.

[@davidtobin]

It seems like you're really into this. I highly reccomend checking the links in the description to learn how it all was made possible!

[@NexGen-3D]

@@davidtobin I definitely will be checking it out, I design 3D printers and 3D printer upgrades for a hobby, this seems really novel and interesting.

Hey Joel, have you heard about the full metal conductive cu-29 fillament that prints like PLA? You should check it out!

[@WillofNewZealand]

Hurumph ay Joel. Wishing you nice success and to be well

[@danbrit9848]

we can even print organs now complete with blood vessels and printed with real biomas

[@rcmaniac25]

I await Joel's video on the first commercialized version of this printer, and have my mouse ready to downvote the first comment complaining about how expensive it (or a kit) is. The future is bright.

[@paintballercali]

This is awesome!

[@hazonku]

This is literally the first real steps towards what previous NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine was talking about when he was constantly championing NASA's partnerships with the commercial crew program and how that would ultimately lead to the orbital and moon economies where we'll be able to do manufacturing and medical research the likes of which are literally impossible to do here on Earth.

[@Aethelbeorn]

You think they can 3d print a rescue shuttle to save those Astronauts on the ISS?

[@nickholl]

What’s the max size this is able to print do you know?

[@TheInsaneupsdriver]

they've been working on this for more then 20 years.

[@eronGreco]

awesome stuff

[@leemerie3d]

So friggin cool!!! And I think about bringing a 3D Printer to the jungle! Why not the desert 😂

vial would be a (usually) glass container... vile means disgusting etc... too late to put a correction in the video probably... it is an interesting and good video, thank you.

[@printingbooks-d4e]

i wonder how 3d printing in a centrifuge could help print more solid forms with less chamber heat.

[@mrdanflores]

watching this, and your other videos, was wondering your thoughts on the shutdown of Shapeways, and are there alternatives to them that allows us to create a virtual marketplace where other people could purchase 3d printed items that we upload, and the service prints and ships the items?

[@darkalleywaystudio3975]

I want one 😊

[@thenextlayer]

Ha, I just got it. CAL! As in... GO BEARS!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I see what you did there :)

[@bluewhaleadventures152]

So, if I understand this correctly and it’s able to successfully print space, would that not cause a tear in the space time continuum?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

From what I understand - that is correct.

[@MrOrionpax]

umm any fdm 3d printer will work anywhere

[@ianm523]

Can you put a 3D printer upsidedown and in a centrifuge to artificially prevent “gravity”

[@benon3d]

Proof that 3d printing has come a llong way. by long way, i mean from earth to space

[@nunopereira6092]

Virgin Galactic's vehicle is a glorified "vomit comet". It hasn't been to space (above the Kármán line), and it never will. Prove me wrong.

[@Scriven42]

Nice to see the power poles! #nerds

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I'm guessing they only sent it up there for 2 minutes as a proof of concept 🤔

[@MarcOlsen-v2m]

Do a 3d benchy. I bet its gonna be the fastest benchy for a long timw

[@awilliams1701]

microgravity yes, but space no. VG misses spare just barely. Blue origin is the only suborbital rocket going into space with people that I know of.

[@sydnerd]

Just a couple of things doing things in thing making multiple things all at one out of one single thing. Including curing all the things

[@wagyourtai1]

couldn't you just use a small centrifuge? I guess this is supposed to be faster tho?

[@TECsta76]

Was he as Big Bang Theory in real life as he was on screen? 😅

But I'm super jealous you got to go though!

Yeah. I was wondering the same. Wonder if they revived it to compete with elon or something.
