I Made a HUGE 3D Printer - Using 3D Printing!

[@lisandroCT]

A .0mm nozzle? Dang, that's a lot of precision.

[@ChristianLonneker]

Lol, i just heard it, went to the comments to see if i was correct

[@MaySheron.]

Same here😂

[@sawtoothspike]

I had to play that back 3 times when i heard that. First of all i thought he said 0.2.

[@3ddruckservice-allgaeu]

Need this nozzle as well! 😄

[@Tomd8002]

With all the hard work on such a mammoth of a project a tiny script error is almost guaranteed to happen! Pat yourself and the Bamboo Labs team on the back for creating such an amazing project and then take a well deserved long rest!

[@NicksStuff]

I'm somewhat ashamed to admit it took me several *minutes* to realize he wasn't building a printer but a model of a printer. I even thought that stepper motor was real, even though it didn't look heavy at all

[@arbitrary_username]

Same. Expected much more from one of my favorite makers than a stupid marketing model that could not even simulate printing.

[@ashleyreid155]

Yeah, watch Ivan Miranda if you want to see the real thing, very cool to see an actual working huge printer build

[@NicksStuff]

@@ashleyreid155 Or Dr D-Flo kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWOadK2hqat3eck

[@inoob26]

Yeah was hoping for a simulated replica with moving parts at least

[@gazehound]

He did not indicate anywhere that it wouldn't even move. Not the title, not even at the start of the video when he said "this is also a stepper motor" about his large *model* of a stepper motor. It's just classic clickbait video-retention stuff. Cool marketing stunt but really a nothing burger of a video.

[@Jacon95]

nice, but for 99,9% of visitors it was just some unfinished build that bambulab didn't make in time this should be finished before the exhibition

[@oliverer3]

I mean part of the point of the whole thing is that bambulab wanted something to keep their printers busy during the show, but having maybe half of it done ahead of time would have made sense.

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

It was a show for makers. It ended up being the key part of the show. But it was a bit over ambitious, and ideally should have been finished the morning of last day. They then could have flipped the story, printed miniatures and handed them out, or something. But hey, this was a piece of art. The art of making.

[@Vandel212]

Well they have it for next year.

[@PressureGrind]

Too right!

[@Bloodgod40]

Can't believe I watched this whole video and didn't realize until the last minute or two that you were just building a giant model, and not an actual giant 3d printer.

[@arbitrary_username]

You are not the only one. Pretty disappointing clickbait

[@vilainlechat7187]

only commercial video for bad chinese company that didn't respect opensource community. this channel is now in my blacklist

[@Jorge.ALXNDR]

I really wonder how someone saw the motor that he showed at the beggining an actually thought it was real...

[@arbitrary_username]

@@Jorge.ALXNDR I thought he might be using dummy motors while experimenting at home, because the real ones may be quite heavy and expensive and not required until the real show

[@internetcancer1672]

@@Jorge.ALXNDR I thought I was just a housing for an actual motor to make it look right. Also when he said it was gonna "move" he said something else in the video (I'm not gonna re-watch it to find it) that seemed to imply it would print. Cool project, click bait title, disappointed it did not print!

[@illumi1749]

wait so your telling me you built a massive 3d printer model for an exhibit but only finnished 10 mins before it closed??

[@MegaCasey09]

Wasting the x1e

[@namixmedia]

I thought exactly the same, a bit strange.

[@bncspeaker]

That IS the exhibit. What better way to do a live demo of your product!?

[@illumi1749]

@@bncspeaker actually kinda makes sense

[@drpc98014]

like i said earlier waste of time unless it could actually print something

[@jasonchaney5382]

Trade shows are part of what I do for a living. So I know how challenging that environment would be to build anything in. This is an impressive feat. And a super cool thing for BL to arrange. I hope you had enough down time to see the rest of the show.

[@JanosKehl]

I had a blast meeting you and see the process of building this massive printer. 🚀💡👍

[@mcstando]

15:00 "point zero millimeter nozzle" that's some next gen tech! lol

[@ScytheNoire]

It's a thin line between brilliance and madness. Can't imagine doing all this live at a trade show. I know a lot of us are wanting an large volume Bambu printer, but this is insane.

[@Novers]

I love that you took over every bamboo printer on the show floor

[@maxmustermann194]

.0 mm nozzle haha. Didn't know it was you who made the big Bambu at FormNext, nice!

[@antonsemenyura5337]

What an awesome collaboration and challenge, which you completely nailed! BambuLab indeed pushes affordability, quality, speed, reliability and simplicity of use to consumer level price machines! So glad it is moving forward! Thank you Alex

[@danielvieira1773]

Alex is back on the workshop, luv it! Whooooooooh

[@lelandclayton5462]

"Yay it's finally done!" Minutes later it ends up in the dumpster...

[@gabrielemarabello1638]

Very fun project... And above all, thank you for taking the time and energy to take a selfie together while you were overwhelmed by work in the middle of Formnext 😂😂😂

[@hosquiat]

This is super cool. Glad you were able to complete it.

[@seanfishback3340]

If Bambu Labs doesn’t know what to do with that wall and those printers after the convention, I measured and all of it would just fit inside my middle school tech classroom. Just wanted to help you find a good home for all of those.

[@FoodFor1000]

nice try

[@simonvongunten9288]

Nice job! I already imagined that you had to alter the original file way more than just to scale it up. I did a similar (but way smaller) project last spring. I made a 1:4 model of our ultimaker at work as a retirement gift for a dear co-worker (it was suposed to be a 3D giftcard with money for a 3D printer). I did t have the files so I had to construct the whole thing first. It turned out great and the head was also moving 😉

[@JakeThomasCreative]

You did so much work scaling up the model! Wow, great job sir.

[@Mattbe72]

It's good to see you back to your workshop 😀

[@droneboy6542]

That was a lot of work for something that doesn't do anything but I respect his work ethic.

[@jocelyndeguise]

Am I the only one expecting to see a "working" giant 3D printer ?

[@FidgetyGuy]

I was thinking the same; only to be disappointed once again.

[@arbitrary_username]

Clickbaity Title… calling it a Model as it is would have saved me the time.

[@Ryan-ik2mk]

no, you're not; this is blatant clickbait.

[@FidgetyGuy]

@@arbitrary_username Pro Tip: Always click to the end of videos.

[@gazehound]

Yup. Clickbait.

[@properprinting]

This looked even more impressive in real life, great build man! Also, genius combination of the alu profiles and dowels!

[@Zachary3DPrints]

Ooo, another Dutch guy that was there

[@ziondontprint]

i just waisted 18 mins of my life to realize its a mock up

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Awesome project, Alex! Wish I could have gone to the show and seen it in person. Been loving my Bambu Army :) (1 X1C and 6 P1S)

Weird flex, but ok

[@jakobtonnesen]

@@jerkwagon Nah thats just sick

[@Realariplayz]

Ur wrong. It was a waste

[@Lexies-Adventures]

Trying to slide me one? :P

[@rangefreewords]

That's pretty cool! Now it can be used as display in their lobby!

[@WonkyStud]

so you build it at night mostly because of the people but the finished product was only exhibited for 10 minutes... I'm not getting the picture here Iguess

[@StraussBornman]

I used to do electronics for shows like this. I felt the suspense of that rush to finish through the whole video

[@HAVVKZ]

woAH black betty, bambu lab

[@scaryfish91]

Ooooh been waiting for this since I saw Stefan from CNCKitchen on the periphery of your build process

[@Schneekanone_TR8_gaming]

The giant printer is really great, you can develop it further, the display at the top of the printer could be built so that it even shows something and it would be really cool that the hot end can even move and that it can print something on the huge 3D printer you made the printer really great.

[@snuurtje]

why not higher layer height? That would have saved so much time!

[@Xenthera]

Would be cool to see a follow up to continue adding all the details to this like the back panel, poop chute, giant ptfe tubing, etc.

[@athmaid]

13:08 you nailed that "Morgen!" haha, sounds like a native speaker

[@Titanieon]

So this is why Bambu out off filaments :D

[@russellduffy3942]

Thats so cool man !! Never expected anybody to be able to do something like this

[@ShopNation]

Dude, so cool! What a grind

[@MarkusReinisch]

Nice Alex. I have a Bambu Labs P1S and I love it, it runs 24/7 and made since months no trouble. It very fast and quality is perfect, no match for the printers I know.

[@buddienorway]

Man that is so cool. Impressive project and very impressed with the low failure ratio and missprint in those enviroments. That is actually good. I got my ratrig and v core printers. But starting to get curious on these bambu labs printers too now. Might end up getting one in the future to see what the hype is all about. Bambu is an impressive company i got to say. Cheers to bambu and to Alexandre Chappel. Love your channel, videos and all the job you put into everything. Keep up the good work. Cheer from Norway

[@TheRealBobHickman]

What an epic build!

[@frauhagedorn]

Wow!!!! - what a cool and well planned project!!!

[@MayorAwesome]

Mad respect for working your ass off at a conference. It's much more fun to GO to a conference rather than WORK at a conference, especially with hours like this. The food is crap, all the sales guys are at the bar all night while you're struggling to get MAYBE 6 hours of sleep. Great idea for an exhibition too!

[@KyleofAsgard]

Fun little video of the event and the project, also super cool that all the surrounding booths were friendly enough to lend out their printers to help you get everything done in time :D Nice work!!

[@StefanReich]

Oh, it doesn't actually print, lol. Only realized this at the end of the video

[@balakrishnan_btr]

What a Great Job you did.❤

[@WF3D]

It was crazy seeing that thing come to life in person! Impressive work!!

[@petero.7487]

It's funny how, despite never having used a 3D printer, I remember the possibility that a person could use a 3D printer to create a 3D printer.

[@TheLordNoodles]

That's the whole RepRap project concept

[@ThisisDD]

I'm sure they'll get lots of use out of that prop for trade shows. Looks great!

[@TheCoolStuffHD]

Kind of strange to not finish it until the event was essentially over. But major props to you for all the work and skill that went into this.

[@Rick-vm8bl]

This is great, I saw it being built through different peoples youtube videos. Really hope to see it at more trade shows!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, Alexandre! 😃 But next time build a working one! Perhaps a collaboration with Ivan Miranda? Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@AJB2K3]

Lets hope they keep it so that next year you can go back and upgrade it!

[@flymypg]

A can of Silly String in the tool head going out the nozzle would have been hilarious!

[@davidprock904]

I do not have a 3D printer but I have a design for one. The printing is done on the inside of the motors. The three motors are stacked vertically over top of each other in the same space and there are No Rods of any kind or belts at all, and it has submicron precision , ZERO backlash, and high torque.

[@GameArtsCafe]

It's a mini home!! hopefully more affordable, could print out parts for a larger home! It probably eats other printers for filament when you're not looking

[@alanbarker2279]

Great project - now a working model - that would have been something else! 😛

[@ClintonCarawayPwncnc]

Fantastic can be a reality. I toured Push Plastic 3D printer filament manufacturing facility when I was at PwnCNC World Headquarters (I work remotely for PwnCNC) in Arkansas. Push Plastic has a real 3D printer you can stand inside of. It's as big as a good sized closet.

[@denpepp4342]

[@Waltuh7862]

This is really epic… now make it print 😎

[@BLBlackDragon]

That is epic. I'm sure that Bamboo Labs will hold onto it as a presentation piece for future shows. Can't wait to see what you do with the new toys.

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

Ship 86kg of fragile plastic and x kg of other parts to China and then find a place to store it until they want to get it out and finish it off?

[@jsjohnst]

@@AndrewHelgeCoxnot uncommon thing to do for trade show gear. Do you think they left all the X1Es behind too?

Wow, a .0 mm nozzle (14:57)? No surprise it took that long! ;-)

[@ninard2236]

i have this idea to save time to 3D print, but i don't know if it can be implemented or not, making it multi extruder but with separate axis with mirror configuration, that works simultaneously printing opposite sides

[@syndicated8158]

What an accomplishment!!!

[@KevinDavidson]

what a great sponsorship!

[@skaltura]

Awesome! Now off to Challenge #2: Make it print! XD

[@alden1132]

Now, make a giant 3D printer that actually prints stuff! 😁

[@BeefIngot]

Recommendation for you that Ive recently found quite useful: Nylon R-Type rivets. Need to connect something quickly, but want it to be removable, but also want it to be cheap, and dont want it to be thrown out with a prototype part should it nor be the final part? Nylon rivets. Easier to implement in cad in all orientations as you only need a cone with the end snipped off to be the diameter of the rivet (you can actually just extrude a hole beveled to 45 degrees and you are done), cheap as chips, and you don't have to throw them out with failed ideas like you might have to do with heat melt inserts, which if you've ever prototyped something with, you know the pain of seeing all that hardware go down the drain, or having to design for screws, and then switching to them later. They also come in tons of good for 3d printing diameters and lengths.

[@criticalevent]

Now make one that works!

[@vegasdealer777]

I remember an old movie called, "The Fly". Be careful --- very careful.

[@MaXxOwnagesMel]

wooooah black betty bamboolab

[@lawrencegroves8307]

It must possibly be the most interesting 3D printer I have encountered. Crazy to see how many hours you put into that and congratulations! Has anyone else started making what you have, does it work?

[@Elislavkat]

very happy to look at this )

[@TrackandfieldBelgium]

Ah that's why i have to wait almost 1 month for my Bambu lab printer to arrive

[@CAGRIOKUR]

Cool and a lots of effor ! Conragulations !

[@BarreiraLuis]

I have to say that my expectations were too high because I expected it to be fully functional. However, I recognize the effort and particularity of the project as an inverted matrioska. Now they can take this model to all the events they hold. Someday it would have to be the first, right? Nice job!

[@Wm200]

Shout-out to Bambu Lab: This project could have been faster if you had a larger printer on market today!
