Tronxy Moore 1 Clay 3D Printer: Pottery-making experience is not required for ceramic 3D printing

[@Eazao]

Hi, this is Eazao ceramic 3D printer. We are very happy to see more people using ceramic 3D printers, and the whole video shooting process is smooth and clear. However, we have a suggestion that after using the microwave kiln in your home microwave oven, it is best not to use the microwave oven again. During the safety period, the sintering time should not exceed 15 minutes. If it exceeds 35 minutes, it will damage the microwave oven and may cause the risk of microwave leakage. Still a good video!👍👍👍

Awesome review. Your presentation style becomes more your own every video and I’m here for it.

[@treelineresearch3387]

The fun looking thing to me about this process is using it as a starting point for more traditional pottery work. I can imagine printing a vessel, letting it dry to a bit wetter than greenware level, and then scraping it smooth and patching any flaws. A workflow like this mitigates some of the clay inconsistency issues too, at least if the pieces are for artistic purposes with noncritical properties - just patch the holes before you smooth it! The layer texture itself might also look nice with certain glazes.

[@vicentegarcia7102]

Impressed with your thorough analysis, even suggesting smart solutions to the manufacturer. Excellent job.

[@smellslikeupdog80]

Stumbled on this channel. You have a very bright career ahead of you. Many common interest areas with machines in the maker space. This was an excellent gem of a channel to stumble upon

[@avejst]

interesting as always 👍🙂 love that you are trying something totally different 🙂 thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍🙂

[@bowieinc]

I didn’t even know clay printing was a thing! Thank you for showing!

[@ericthecyclist]

Loved your presentation. You might look for another microwave oven for your kilning. They show up in free-piles frequently, and failing that, thrift stores. My concerns with the printer would be the cleanup. You don't want to leave clay in the nozzle or the plastic tube to dry and harden. It would be fun to see both you and your brother on the screen.

[@KeithCarmichaelInFL]

I really like that you can use the microwave to fire the clay! I was wondering if you could reuse the clay if the print failed, so thank you for covering that!

In germany we had working with clay in school. Of course not with 3d printers but by bare hand. Seeing someone wearing gloves working with clay seems a bit - lets phrase it mildly - "uncommon" ;-) A classic way to sculpt clay by hand is to make the basic model with small rools of clay. Afterwards you detail out and flaten everything by hand, using water; maybe some tools for details. While as a 3d printing fan I definitly like the look of the print, I am pretty sure the print is normaly ment to be post processed by hand. Thats one of the big advantages of clay - with some water and handwork you can perfectly smooth prints. In germany working with clay is quite a common hobby - and you often find people who burn your objects for a low price. The microwave way does not seem optimal to me - esp. as you might do a second, hotter burn after you added glas powder to make your ceramic usable as a water tight cup, vase or whatever. I wish Tronxy will publish this "printhead" also as an "upgrade" for existing printers. I already have a Jennyprinter 650 [650 by 650 by 650 mm³ volume], still not assambled. Would be great to add a clay extruder... I do not know why all theese manufactorers want to make ready to use printers for special uses. Most people working with clay see it as art, so 3d printers would be a no-go. But upgrade kits for 3d hobyists, thats the market they should targeting. I want a clay print tool, a chocolate print tool, a wax printing tool and maybe a pencake tool. But not 4 different printers adding to my existing farm...

[@skypatrol716]

Get a plexiglass tube with the same internal size as your clay extruder tube. Pre pack your clay in the plexiglass tube and when happy push the plug into your extruder tube. If its difficult to push the plug out, consider making the plexiglass in halves so you can open it and there by remove drag. This is what a professional pug machine dose.

[@TheKokanut]

I am a high school ceramics teacher and really would Like to show this tech to my students

[@majstor76]

Machines like these needs some additional tools for mixing and packing clay, like resin printers have wash and cure stations

[@BMWM62009]

2 things I would change right out the door is a quick clap for the packing tube for on/off ease and better feed tube placement. But still amazing machine

[@ByronChou17]

Excellent video, I like that you get into the details! Keep it up

[@loubano]

Thank you very much for this great review. To be honest I do not even know this kind of printer existed especially in this price range 😳 A big thanks for the quality of your review 😀👍

[@billroache6244]

Great review, been looking for a great entry level ceramic printer and I think this may be the one after watching this

[@kelvinleung8763]

Merry Christmas. 🌲🎉

[@anthonyp4209]

Seriously, these reviews are great.

[@paulcumber4732]

have a merry christmas

[@TinSVM]

Can this printer be used to print with cement or concrete? That would be awesome.

[@franciscogonzales8042]

Look mom I printed out your gift! Aren’t I amazing! Where are we going?

[@Gravitation3Beatles3]

$550! Woah Holy Crap! I was looking at ones in the $3k+ range

[@williamsteele]

Great review! I wonder how the same machine would do with something like Fondant to make edible prints instead of the clay ones.

[@samhale5413]

Tom S. Just did a review on a machine to do that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoDWp6Ouod2NqdE It didn't need such a hefty extrusion motor.

[@NielsNL68]

@@samhale5413 That is not the same machine.

[@NielsNL68]

@william, for fondant to work you need to heat it to meld. Like in Tom's review.

[@khaderach19]

I'm surprised you think fondant is edible

[@75echo]

The weakness in this is the loading of the clay which can easily lead to impefections of not done well. It would be nice i one could buy the clay sold as cylinders exactly same size as the ejecting catridge.

[@naronaroyan323]

Can you print 3ft or 5ft pipes with a spiral design so we get maximum surface area both inside and out, and one side very porous while the other side is glazed so it is water proof?

[@iantuikong2302]

what is the unit of speed for pushing the clay from the barrel to the extruder?

[@donaldhollingsworth3875]

Very interesting video. I just would wish most manufacturers would offer a 300mm X 300mm X 300mm build volume along with at least a 15 point or more more for self leveling for the bed without having to edit the G & M codes or use Z axis baby steps. I still don't like to layer lines just like filament 3D printers. I do a lot of sample & prototype parts & I have found that 3d printed parts without the exception of resin printers build volume to give the best results. The only draw back for a 3D resin printer is their print volume. I would like to see more 3D resin printers & filament printers with a build volume of 300mm X 300mm X 300mm. And all of the 3D printers should work correctly right out of the box. I don't want to spend precious time fine tuning the printer or slicing software along with the G & M codes. I believe the all filament & resin printers are in their infancy & need to built to higher standards such as using servo motors, linear rails, all metal dual extender's gear drives. Also these 3D printers should never not to produce a perfect, or near perfect, print without having to change the slicer settings, & the G & M codes, as we in the machining world would call it as a part program.

[@aps3000miki]

Your wish can come true. Those machines exist. Just spend a bit more money. I recommend the Ultimaker S5 or the Raise 3D E2. Both are not overly expensive but will print day in day out with ease.

[@aps3000miki]

Thank you very much for this great video. I can see, mushing with the clay made you very happy. You achieved good results in a very short time, AM-AZ-ING. Pottery has so many aspects and techniques, this affordable machine just adds to the fun. And you showed us how easy it can be. Great video, great research. Add a real kiln, a turntable and some basic tools and the sky is the limit. You did send us on our ways, FAN-TAS-TIC

[@todor9600]

Hi! What files models does it support? The same as for 3D plastic printer?

[@cwhummel]

Great video as always, but ... we need that Eiffel Tower :)

[@zavi247]

amazing informal video

[@wflzoom6219]

My prediction for the future, a consumer George Forman 3D Hamburger printer and grill. :)

[@MK-kn7hu]

How do you clean the pipe if clay hardens ?

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Interesting thanks from Orlando Florida 👋

[@TestTest-eb8jr]

Nice review @Aurora (I love your smile too)

[@MK-kn7hu]

Price of this product?

[@williamw.2610]

So so so very cool

[@issaal-habsi6758]

The printer is not print the base ?

[@cclumist]

Great review !

[@Bellafroebel]

Great video, thanks!

[@portcityengineering]

At least you can recycle failed prints 🤪 great video, as always!

[@canneddirt]

Pack one of these with marzipan. Instant complex confectionery business.

[@Mettleh3d]

How do you fire/bake a taller print?

[@defrian7787]

apakah printer ini bisa mengerjakan detail yang rumit seperti yang bisa dikerjakan filament 3d printer?😳

[@stefanguiton]

great video!

[@TheKokanut]

I have some kilns at home and would love to test this unit out and I could fire any work that you have made. Do you still have the unit or did you have to send it back? Great review and channel!

[@AuroraTech]

Please email me at [e-mail]

[@Tarbard]

Very cool

[@AndrewWalter]

Glad you did away with the gloves, clay is supposed to be messy. Is there going to be a holiday/new year gift video that is a collection of 2021 bloopers?

[@usefullprintables]

Aurora! Please don't use these gloves! Try to discover the clay with your bare hands...and fall in love with it ;) Also you will maybe have a better feel of when your clay has the correct consistancy. I love pottery and 3d printing too.Grtz Belgium

[@TMS5100]

The only 3d printer where you don't want dry filament lol

[@琉球サンゴもとながなえ]

MOORE1の掃除、手入れの仕方教えて

[@kathleenrobertpogue6818]

I might have missed you saying it. But does it have to be microwaved? Could you bake it in the oven?

[@ericthecyclist]

not unless your oven gets above 1000F, which would be very scary.

[@michaeld954]

Look for free microwave to do all the fireing

[@Beehive66]

This was a great review. I just do not think firing things in a microwave is a good idea at all. Your mum was right!

[@kevinerickson2595]

I think maybe work the clay on a pottery wheel before just before you put it into the giant syringe to print

[@markusguetlich8406]

What about printing with ice cream rather than clay?

[@AEDEANART]

Now this is something id pay to see lol

[@jakeclarke8706]

Can do it with chocolate but not yet ice cream

[@reformedtheologian1188]

Nope

[@zdd22fixes47]

Very cool
