Can the New FLSUN T1 Delta 3D Printer Compete with CoreXY?

[@FieldsHenry-v7x]

When I print large models, I usually use Flsun T1. It brings me speed. I really like it.

[@AndTecks]

You did a great job with the video! Keep em coming.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

@@AndTecks thank you so much!

[@AfraDuvall]

Already subscribed . Very well stated. I own both P1S and FLSUN T1 , so far for multicolor I go to my P1s and for speed I use my Flsun T1.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

That’s awesome! Part of me wants to throw a wide nozzle on the T1 and use it for super fast prototype parts. Did you tweak the slicer profile or just keeping it as is?

[@milescleaver3]

Will you test T1pro ?

[@serialhobbyism_official]

Maybe if FLSUN sends me one! But, to be honest, I'm trying to avoid doing too many 3D printer tests/reviews. I want this channel to be more about things I make :)

[@eaojnr]

good stuff!

[@serialhobbyism_official]

@@eaojnr thanks!

[@munarkmusic]

do you have the link to the infinity lamp on the shelf?

[@serialhobbyism_official]

@@munarkmusic yep, it is in the video description! :)

[@munarkmusic]

@ dang I skimmed thru the description too. lol I’ll look again. Thanks.

[@JohnKiniston]

Is that little shelf you had the bamboo on strong enough to print at speed? I see you ran the tests on a concrete floor.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

Great question! I only had it on that shelf for the picture and don't print on that. However, it may not even matter. Maker's Muse has an awesome video on this subject and came to the conclusion that it probably doesn't make a difference: kzbin.info/www/bejne/el7IfZuBmbB0ms0si=diIuo2JWjyZDxG35

3d printers dont care all that much about the surface outside of if that surface resonates near to the frequencies they frequently vibrate at is my understanding. If you free float a printer, or nail it to concrete, both would have similar effects in terms of just keeping high amounts of resonance from showing in your prints.

[@BeefIngot]

I should note that while I dont know that it's true with the T1, with the S1, their bigger version, many reviewers found that volumetric flow rate to be, without sugar coating it, a lie (like one third of what they actually promised in reality). The print file they included also was gimmicked in such a way that it *looked* in the settings like it was going as fast as it said, but for people who knew the implementation details of their klipper and klipper frontend setup, they knew it simply was set with slow accelerations such that it never actually hit the volumetric flow rates it said on the screen. In reality, if I recall correctly, comparing similar filaments, like PLA to PLA, it was indeed a bit better than a stock P1/X1, but nowhere close to their nearly 5x rating, like not even remotely. Anyhow, I didn't expect an overview to cover this or get into such detail, because it really was, in my opinion, designed to deceive reviewers and customers with flashy numbers (and to be honest most 3d printer companies do this, some more truthful than others), but I just thought I'd mention it. I am of course interested in seeing what robot arm you're coming up with/what its payload capabilities/level of smoothness will allow it to do. Oh, also a super small note: The print height of the T1 is indeed taller, but a small caveat is that just like the bit about rotary motors, it's actually kinda conical. Like a very flattened cone.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

Oh wow, I hadn't heard about that! I'm not really surprised, because the 90mm/s/s figure seemed insane to me, but that's still disappointing to hear. As you said, manufacturers like to fudge the numbers a bit, but there is a point where it becomes difficult to forgive. If I was doing a full review, I might dive deeper into that. But to be honest, I'm kind of sick of reviewing 3D printers, haha. I'm very excited about the robot! It is an arm with 7-DoF meant to hold a camera for recording nice videos of the things I talk about. I'm still very early in development, but initial tests are going well with 4 axes. It has no trouble carrying my Lumix GH5 with a lens. The shoulder and elbow motors are CubeMars AK80-64, which have crazy torque. It is going to be awesome!

[@BeefIngot]

@serialhobbyism_official Very interesting. I imagined it might be camera related, and I'm always interested in seeing those types of arms because getting the smoothness down for a camera seems like a real challenge. I forsee many brushless motor controllers and gearing mechanisms. Good luck with that and I totally get being tired of reviewing printers, especially when it's basically just a race for many cheap companies to copy 2 companies and some hobbyists the most cheaply.

[@serialhobbyism_official]

@@BeefIngot You're spot on about smoothness! That's the main issue I'm working on solving right now. I'll actually have a short clip of my first test in my next video, which should be published tonight or tomorrow :)
