3D Printing HOW HOT?!?

[@Martial-Mat]

That guy is a FANTASTIC communicator! He really knows his stuff inside out.

[@jonsenkiw]

By far the most interesting 3D printing related video I've seen in a LONG time. This dude explains things absolutely perfectly. Love it!

[@AdamGerbrandt]

Well said 👏

[@RealJoschi]

I'll sign that.

[@Voidy123]

They are not paying Brandon enough, whatever it is.

[@alexanderthompson9895]

Please invite Brandon back to the channel some time! So hard to find an expert that’s so passionate yet unpretentious. Fantastic video, Joel!!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

It's in the works I promise :)

[@PathosBedlam]

@@3DPrintingNerd Hooray. He was extremely well spoken. I was also impressed with the stuff you were picking up on. You're smarter than you think Joel. Great Interview.

[@kevineina6454]

@@3DPrintingNerd I hope so 🤩

[@properprinting]

Brandon definitely knows his stuff and he explains it so well! This was very insightful. By the way, is there an invisible camera man standing behind you? xD

[@im_ricebowl]

not that I read your comment, everytime it zooms in on the page I'm like "so where is this camera....."

[@michaelc8264]

I got my masters in polymer material science, and I am so glad to hear Brandon explain the science so well! Great work and good job Joel for sharing this with us. When complex things are presented well they are accessible to everyone!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Brandon did an AMAZING job explaining things. It was fascinating to watch. He will be back.

[@grantscouten4267]

Absolutely! He did a fantastic job. Look forward to future appearances. There is only one thing left to say - “Let’s go . . .” no better not.

[@ShaneKnockItOff]

Hope so, this was an amazing video!

[@josephgauthier5018]

@@grantscouten4267 lmao. Definitely dont need to steer a comment thread of a 3d printing related video in that particular direction

[@echtvergoldet]

@@3DPrintingNerd best news of today for me, ngl.

[@ArdjanVideo]

Great to hear someone who has a clue of what they're doing, instead of some marketing drone who know only a few basic terms... And bonus points for being able to communicate it very well!

[@vikmanphotography7984]

Give that guy a raise. He is both a fantastic salesman and educator. Charismatic, confident, good in front of a camera, knows his stuff inside out, upfront about the limitations with substitutes at the ready, etc.

[@ausdavid]

Watched the whole thing, and wow that was so awesome. Brandon explained things so well, and you can tell he's very passionate in what he does. Thanks heaps for the great chemistry lesson.

[@artrock8175]

Brandon is LEGIT! I also enjoyed his sound effects that added to the explanations! xD Here are the time stamps for each of of Brandon's great audio effects: 1.) 4:08 2.) 14:00 3.) 17:05 4.) 21:17

[@siebeja]

Great job appealing to diverse audiences Brandon!! As a fellow Materials Science engineer you did an excellent job of explaining materials!! I echo all the comments and would sign up for episode 2!

[@vikmanphotography7984]

Wish I had this guy as a professor when I was studying ceramics engineering.

[@josephyang8236]

I've been working in 3D printing industry for 6 years now and this guy is the best I've seen in communicating technicals with general audience. Smooth, concise and distilled just right amount without dumbing down too much. A+++

[@realgoose]

Brandon is a prime example of a what the ideal sales person should be. An excellent communicator with contagious passion and subject-matter-expert knowledge. World class talent!

[@nicholassummerlee6843]

By far the best explanation of thermoplastic on KZbin. If you’ve taken organic chemistry it’s a real treat to hear someone explain carbon chemistry in such a palatable way.

[@rhejamphi]

You rarely have someone at a convention booth that knows so much and speaks so well. Outstanding.

[@JohannesLauesen]

Man, this dude is brilliant.... it all sounds so simple coming from him he seems to know this stuff to the core... Deep respect!

[@NistenTahiraj]

One of the best episodes on this channel so far in my opinion. This guy is basically speed-running us through 3d-printing chemistry in 24 minutes.

[@davelane1773]

This guy should have been my chemistry teacher. I am not a smart man but damn if I didn’t understand what you guys were talking about. Great video Joel and Brandon you make your company proud I’m sure thanks for the class.

[@devalopr]

I've learnt more chemistry from 24mins of this guy speaking than an entire year at school

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Brandson is such a gift. So much fun to talk to.

[@devalopr]

@@3DPrintingNerdYes! I'd pay $$$$$ To listen him explain stuff. He's an awesome teacher.

[@maplobats]

As a chemistry nerd, I really enjoyed Brandon's explanations....accurate, and explained in a way that is easy to understand with minimal knowledge of polymer chemistry.

[@fabiankroger4645]

Big compliment to the Essentium3D presenter! In such a short time he explains all important things about high performance "plastics"! Great respect!!

[@marcup1584]

This guy was absolutely incredible. I work in materials science research, but not polymers, and he's soooo much better at explaining properties and molecular behavior than anyone I work with.

[@InsideAlan]

Brandon is an excellent educator, his marketing department need to throw him a chunk of their budget.

[@Jynxx_13]

The most interesting, informative thermoplastic material science vid on 3D printing hands down!

[@TheBekker_]

I freaking LOVE this kind of content! I've seen enough Ender 3 clones printing PLA, this is awesome!

[@pavel5939]

Definitely the best technical speech ever. Correct, understandable to anyone, and... I could have followed you both for another couple of hours, not boring at all. Great ! Can't wait for the next episode.

[@siop5709]

That dude explained everything eloquently and made it easy to understand the key differences between PPS, PEEK, and PEKK. Thank you for this high-quality video.

[@FilamentStories]

Such great information. I love the videos Essentium' puts out too.

[@MihaiDesigns]

Wow amazing info! I want more of this kind of nerdy content 🤩

[@aragornsimpson5333]

you did a great job letting this knowledgeable man share his information. exciting times for 3d printing

[@thenamelessone123]

This guy should get a raise - never seen a salesman so knowledgable!

[@AudreyRobinel]

The video was excellent, and your interviewee is definitely great. He should be on camera more often, and get a raise :) Explaining complex chemistry in a way that is accessible, without dumbing it down to the point where it teaches nothing is a feat, and he managed it. With such talks, often, either you have a hard time understanding, or you don't learn much at all. Here, i feel i learnt what i needed to know about those materials without superfluous things for a first contact, and now i know enough to know that i want to see more about it :) Anyways, props to both of you for the great video!

[@mrdoohickey4824]

Brandon is a gem! A natural communicator able to make complex molecular physics, sound like a simple hash brown recipe! Outstandingly educational show even by your high standards , Joel.

[@MegaMaking]

sounds like Essentium really knows their stuff.

[@princefpv1]

They do

[@ClickItYT]

It's essential for their business. Sorry :}

[@malloot9224]

Best 3d printing video I have seen in years, you got out presented by Brandon there Joel! 😉

[@YeeKongChan]

That guy is good. Knowing stuff is one thing, making people understand the stuff is another. He is good at both.

[@mironfs1]

Second guy from same company that we absolutely love. Looks like essentium is great group of people i hope they are doing well

[@laharl2k]

OMFG! An actual engineer explaining engineering stuff instead of a marketing wanker! It was actually watchable!

[@joshbridges8410]

Brandon was by far the best part of this video, what a great educator!!!!

[@3DMusketeers]

I loved meeting the Essentium guys years ago in 2016! Their machines are amazing, glad to see them growing and making some awesome parts! High temp parts are so awesome!

[@everettebinger5956]

That was easily the best 3D printing video I have ever watched!

[@koreanpathfinder]

3:22 Did anyone else hear "F**k PLA"?😂

[@LincolnWorld]

I was checking for new videos on my subscriptions page, and saw the title with PEEK PEKK PPS and thought, "I have no plans on dealing with those materials, I'm going to skip this one.... Oh wait! It's a Joel video. OK. I'll watch it. I know that even if I don't care about the subject, at least it will be fun to watch!" High-5!

[@technoe02]

Joel, I love the kiwico boxes. They've been so much fun to do with the kids. Plus, thanks to your 3d printing advice I've been able to print replacement pieces to upgrade the kiwico kits for extended fun.

[@NLTMW]

It's been over 35 years since I sat through a chemistry class and this time I didn't fall asleep or daydream once! Now I am in flashback mode and want to go play frisbee and drink down by the water. Thanks for a freat explanation!

[@WeebotTheRobot]

Dude I could sit and listen to Brandon talk about plastics all day. His words are brain candy.

[@echtvergoldet]

Dude... He should do borderline chemistry 3d printing videos. Would love it. Maybe 3D printing nerd should hire him :D

[@zevindd]

That guy has an amazing ability to make chemistry and material science make sense! This guy needs a youtube channel!

[@VorpalGun]

I would love a deep dive like this on the consumer materials. Like PETG, PLA, maybe nylons etc

[@3DPrintingNerd]

It's very much on the list. If this does well, it'll be a good signal that Brandon should come back.

[@airatooo]

Hey Joel, fantastic video, well done! Would be awesome to hear Brandon explain the science of printing more difficult materials from our consumer level, such as ABS, PC, CPE and their blends and variants. Especially around printing tips, like how to deal with shrinkage and make it stick to the bed, tuning slicer profiles, etc. All the things via science lenses :) Thank you!

[@im_ricebowl]

I love how informative yet entertaining your conversations are....and the fact that joel seems to genuinely be giddy about learning makes me giddy too... also cool how I know some of these terms because I studied a bit of chemistry in uni..... I bet my prof would be so happy listening to this

[@helicrashpro]

Outstanding video. Best explanation of these polymers I have ever seen in one place hands down. Well done to both of you and the editor throwing in those movie clips.

[@Zachary3DPrints]

This dude needs an award! So much fun to watch and listen to... learned a lot Joel!

[@jim2386]

4:05 As men, can we all agree we’ve had ABS Tg > 90c days. All kidding aside, I despised chemistry in school but this guy did a really good job breaking things down! Well done!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I really think I could have taken a college course with Brandon as instructor, and done well.

[@trkoo]

Oh my god! First time some one who talks about this stuff clearly and in detail.

[@justincasiere9598]

Brandon just made me so hyped on learning. The world needs teachers like him

[@buildersmark]

Everytime the term shrinkage was said, I flash back to the clip Sean used of Frank from Seinfeld in previous video srry/not srry anyway... Very informative, he knows his product. Great video!

This dude explained chemistry and polymer concepts waaaaay better than a lot of teachers I’ve got.

[@Prometheus720]

Replacing injection mold tools sounds amazing. That would actually be a way to noticeably affect price points across an economy. I would love to see a deep dive into a material comparison and discuss why to use one vs the other

[@yetanotherarc]

This guys is so good at explaining this stuff in simple yet not to shallow ways. Good job!!

[@brine1986]

These are cool materials! 320C sounds not that bad for advanced hobby workshop. I wonder what designs people will do with PPS in mind.

[@bostjanles]

Fricking awesome. We need more of Brandon.

[@dibonko]

Great video and Brandon is very good to listen. Great information he gave. More videos with Brandon! :D

[@blacknovella]

I am new to 3d printing and got ender 3 v2, ive already installed cr touch, filament runnout octoprint.. your channel has helped tremedously to further my curiosity and desire to learn everything. thank you!

[@MrKnoppersesser]

PPS is really interesting. It has a comparatively low shrinking rate. So if your hotend can go a bit above 300°C you can print it even without a heated chamber. Sometimes without an enclosure at all.

[@apollolux]

I'm not a materials engineer or chemistry guy of any sort (computer science degree and programmer by trade), but I'm super glad Brandon looked excited to share with Joel and Joel looked excited to learn! ^_^

[@robertmorey4104]

Love the engineering and science. Brandon does explain things very well. Would be a good teacher - for engineering! Great video Joel. These materials are very interesting. I work in Aerospace. Thx!.

[@JonS]

That was extremely informative and potentially quite useful to me. 0:39 "Give them a PEEK into these industrial, exotic materials". Was that an intentional pun?

[@CosplayKitchen]

Watching this with the hubs is like watching him on Christmas morning. And yes, my mind was blown.

[@tinkerman1790]

Thx for bringing us such an informative video! Brandon is very professional and given us a great lesson in these engineering types of filament. 😎

[@lamerekeklerek]

Dr. Brandon rocks! The way he explain things is amazing, really... Massive knowledge and still, that ability to pass it through, it's just magnificent, he would be great teacher ^^ Man with true passion, please give us more videos like this :)

[@alvinnorris6523]

I love videos that are a little beyond my level of comprehension. That’s where learning occurs. Thanks Alvin

[@Nordic_Mechanic]

I like presenter who dont try to dumb me down and actually give me the reason why material are the way they are and have such property. Hate when they talk to us like a child even when we're engineers

[@digeon8798]

Pls do another vid with brandon, so interresting

[@eddietheengineer]

Thank you Joel, this is a fantastic video. Brandon did a great job explaining all of this and I learned a lot!

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

Now so how is PC-CF compared to PPS-CF ?? EXTEM AMHH811F is another I do like to learn more about it. And why not a poster of all filaments with printing temp ranges as well as tg and possible also some more data to it ?

[@AndrewSink]

Super informative stuff; this is a great format and style for this kind of info!

[@mechadense]

Quite interesting interview. Thanks! I'd also be interested in materials behaviour under permanent high load. I had excessive stress cracking in the case of a non-pigmented PLA/PHA blend, which is creamcolored opaque but in this case actually less crystalline than pure more brittle PLA I take.

[@AleksandrEfimov]

One of the best explainations on the materials properties I've ever heard.

[@SimonCoates]

[@LisaHarsh]

He is explaining chemistry better than some teachers.

[@DEtchells]

Wow, *fantastic* interview! Brandon did an *incredible* (extraordinary, exceptional, unparalleled?) job explaining polymer structure and how it relates to physical properties! If I had an unlimited hobby budget, I’d buy one of their machines and a mess of filament, just to support him & them 👍😃 I think packed in more information per minute than anyone else I’ve seen, anywhere on YT!

[@drfailbucket]

So I was wondering hows about supports and build plate/adhesion? I mean yeah that stuff is really cool and its not that hard to modify the printer to get to 500°C and ~100°C Chamber but i would like to know more about what's the best build plate or how does it take supports? Like pla it's fairly easy to use support but with petg it is a nightmare to get it off Maybe you guy could do a following up video with this?

[@Foxydapirate4141]

@4:44 ummmmm did they just creat diamond level prints? Cuz it’s carbon crystals isn’t that what diamonds are?

[@liquidpza]

"Not only aerospace, but I would imagine space travel and that sort of thing...?" Um, Joel, aerospace encompasses space travel. I suspect that you likely know that and were just sleep deprived or something. As with so many here, I'll also heap praise on Brandon. Exactly the kind of person that I look to hire.

[@misticglass]

we print Ultem 9085 and Ultem 1010 on Stratasys Fortus machines. It can be tricky and there is no dissolvable support material but good stuff!!!

[@raiden72]

Are any of these materials recyclable? Like how metal can be melted many times and recast?

[@britewires4305]

What a great video and an interesting conversation! I think we need to explore that PPS-CF!
