Build 3D printers in the UK with Construct 3D @ SMRRF24!

[@warhornz]

This guy looks like the happiest human ever!

[@alejandroaguirre2355]

You can pretty much use the Bambu lab AMS filament splitter as a hotend but like Jacob said because of the internal geometry you would have to have it SLS printed or metal printed with some fittings that's genius

[@Mobile_Dom]

one of the things i missed most about not going to SMRRF this year was not getting to hang out with Jacob again, thanks Taylor

[@SkateSoup]

I love seeing what he's been up to in smrrf videos, so much cool stuff comes out of his mad scientist brain.

[@andreas.grundler]

9:00 Now this is a real Bamboo printer. I really dig the side panels. The bamboo gives them a classy look and is also functional by absorbing vibrations.

[@blackpete]

Voron 2.4 bamboo Edition? 🥰

[@lavafree]

Nice talent. Thanks for the interview

[@andreas.grundler]

Interesting that Jacob said the new machine was too cheap for some customers. I have seen Construct3D's prices and most hobby users would call them overpriced but in the industrial world they seem to be seen as very affordable. Chinese prices seem to spoil people a lot.

[@notepadgamer]

It is quite sad at times, you can make the best deal possible but if its too good a deal then they think something is fishy.

[@blackpete]

Those things come with a very different take on reliability and customer service. An industrial customer expects a certain uptime. The price has to reflect that, or the product looks compromised. That's just how it works. Even if the reality is.... Different.

[@marcelzuidwijk]

That's a wonderful machine you've build there Jacob! Thank you for highlighting it @CanuckCreator!

[@notepadgamer]

Thank you so much. It turns out making a black monolith of a printer is REALLY quite hard to make it look right.

[@droknron]

Great video and Jacob is a really good presenter for his company!

[@notepadgamer]

I'm so glad you said that, I get super paranoid that I am not doing a good job presenting or saying the right stuff.

[@goflydrone6447]

Totally agree Jacob what a charismatic well informed man,enjoyed listening to him even if I did not understand a lot of it I knew what he meant !!! If that makes sense lol ..

[@Yash-c3v]

Do the side cooling fans move down with the plate?

[@notepadgamer]

Nope. they stay at the hight of the nozzle as thats where the hot filament which needs cooling is located

[@Yash-c3v]

@notepadgamer D'oh! Me so stupid 😭 makes total sense 😂 thanks 🙏

[@JB-nz6ew]

Do you suppose the quad filament hot end could be used for CMYK printing full-color parts?

[@notepadgamer]

In theory yes, but in reality no. Because the head was not designed to mix the filament, it will be closer to making co-extruded multi colour filament in the nozzle.

[@Roetz40]

You can get a lot more flow out of your hotend, but I really like your design. If you wanna talk, hit me up ;))

[@notepadgamer]

I Would love to! Someone just sent me one of your videos. I have to say your hot end is mighty impressive!

[@MaxMichel89]

A collab we neeed 😊

[@TinyWorkshop]

oh my god what are the two things in the back??.?…

[@adamklosterman8960]

How is it not killing the tool board at 75° c?

[@CanuckCreator]

By using components rated for a higher than 75c ambient temp

[@C650101]

I don't see how that glass door against glass roof makes a good seal

[@notepadgamer]

Thats the neat part, it doesnt, it has a 2mm air gap. but because of the chamber normally running in a negative pressure scenario, it traps the heat VERY effectively.

[@lolzlarkin3059]

Is that wasting a lot of energy to maintain chamber temps? And potentially sucking in dust and dirt into your chamber?

[@notepadgamer]

​@@lolzlarkin3059 surprisingly not. part of our testing is filling up the chamber with smoke and measuring the amount of leakage. For small gaps like that, the amount of leakage is pretty much non existent. Its quite a surprising result.

[@C650101]

No more v wheels?

[@notepadgamer]

Still V-wheels, but this time fully inside the printer.

[@blackpete]

Not your tipical ender 3 v wheels.... I hope 😂

[@notepadgamer]

@@blackpete Never! High precision PC wheels only. The small printer in the vid is one of our print farm printers running 24/7 for almost 3 years now, and its still on its first set of wheels

[@blackpete]

@notepadgamer dang. That's impressive. I'd say even moderately well made linear rods won't do that. Rails, maybe. I hope you can rattle the industry a little. We consumers could use some stirring in the business trickle dowm from industrial grade machines.

[@notepadgamer]

​@@blackpete the rails vs wheels fight is a LOT closer than people think. Rails need lube to stop rust, but that lube can also collect dirt which can destroy a rail over time, so it needs periodically replacing. Depending on the thickness of the lube it also caps the max speed and accelerations due to the viscosity reducing max performance Wheels on the other hand add a lot of initial friction to the system, but after that the force increase is linear, so no real max top speed. Other benefits is VERY low maintenance, cheap to replace, and no alignment requirements. Lets just say there is a reason we decided on V wheels on the Y-axis, but a linear rail on the X axis.

[@Theprofessor1212]

I do not understand why one would get this over the Pantheon HS3

[@CanuckCreator]

Probably being less than half the price helps

[@notepadgamer]

Us and Pantheon share the same mindset about trying to build the absolute best but we have done so very differently. Our specs are VERY different, and we are actually for similar, but not the same target market.

[@blackpete]

Shut up and take my.... Oh... OH.... Okay, take my like and sub.

[@torquemada1971]

They do not sell to the United States.

[@notepadgamer]

That's changing in the next few weeks. We just finished an almost 2 year process to legally export to the US! The website update will be happening shortly as trying to get live and accurate shipping prices is surprisingly difficult
