I think what might be helpful is to have fans on the sides of the belt to cool those overhangs. Additionally, if the belt is a mesh there could also be a fan under the belt. Lots of possibilities, but a long way to go. Another thing is that I'm also surprised they didn't just use the buildtak like surface they're putting on all the printers now.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I definitely want to try printing extrusion

[@seangreenhalgh1302]

Great to see this doing reeaaallly long prints. I have a feeling the bed belt needs to be really tight to get rid of that artifact you saw because the play in the belt probably caused the model to lift with the belt when it got to the lower part.

[@UncleJessy]

[@Henchman1977]

[@delecti]

Despite being so similar, it's interesting how different the tradeoffs are with belt printers vs other FDM printers. It's almost more like the difference between traditional FDM and resin printers, than the difference between Delta/I3/Cartesian.

[@radicalxedward8047]

The coolest thing about it printing at an angle is that curved stuff will generally look smoother than on a standard printer that’s printing a model horizontally/vertically. I’ve actually intentionally angled models 45° to achieve that on my Ender sometimes.

[@floodmonkey]

Is the location of the belt stitching something to do with the indent in the print?

[@cyphre]

I think there are definitely some more fundamental issues with printing at an angle as well as the conveyor bed. You see in the smoke stack on benchy, the PLA is perfectly fine being placed downward and pressed into a build surface, but other things happen at an angle, where there is free reign of the material to shift.

[@stevesloan6775]

Long time watcher first time commenting. Love it! Miss Woowoo and her collaborative team have done an amazing job! I wish them all the best of luck. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀🍀🍀🤓

[@clone4211]

My solution to that kink in the I-beam would be to ditch the outflow rollers and replace them with a thin spring steel sheet that overlaps with the lower portion of the belt and the surface of which is at the same height as the beginning of the belt providing a smooth transition off the belt without disturbing the print upstream. This would also prevent prints from getting stuck in that first outflow roller as had happened with the Benchy and potentially jamming the belt. Ideally the steel outflow table would be sharpened where it overlaps the belt assisting in its function to lift stuck prints off the belt. Rollers are designed to be a low friction surface for packages to zip down them at high speed. They are not designed to provide a level and flat surface for prints to inch across them millimeter by millimeter, especially with how far apart those rollers are spaced.

[@henry67278]

Wonder if using small glass tyling as a bed would work with a faceted drum for the idler and puley would work as a build surface

[@wblteen]

We use belts like that at my work for our conveyors. Not every belt has that stitching but almost all do. The ones that don't have a small bump where the ends are connected, so I'm sure they use this type to mitigate that. We also have non-textured belts as well, that might be something to look into. I wish I could post pictures in the comments here to show some of the large belted conveyors we have.

[@Blamm83]

This machine really is a potential production beast! Wouldn't it benefit from a high flow hotend (volcano / mosquito magnum or similar) and some beefy layers? You could pump out functional parts

[@chrisBruner]

I'd like to see a test of two benches, one facing downstream and one facing upstream (side by side, maybe mounted on a platform). I think it might be interesting to compare.

[@tavarisjones551]

In woodworking, that indentation in the ibeam is referred to as "snipe". It is common with things that move across a bed like a jointer of planer. I would imagine that if printing a long item like the i-beam, that it could rock forward as it reaches the end of the bed and cause it to lift near the print nozzle.

[@homebodyhero4602]

Why not use a smooth rubber belt instead of a weaved one?

[@aprilk141]

Based on the belt (it's no longer a bed) being soft, never use I scraper made of metal or hard plastic.. the print removes itself via the bend of the belt.

One thing that would be cool to see printed is a model plane. Typically larger models need to be split into many pieces, but with this machine you would only need to print 2 parts: the wings and the fuselage and still make a very large model. Another idea that would be cool is model ships, they tend to have a very elongated shape, perfect for utilizing this machine's ability to make a very large single-part print.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

I like how you think, as usual.

[@justinskywalker]

[@HotelPapa100]

All tightening up of the build belt will not alleviate the lift problem, if a decent balance for parts adhesion can not be struck. That's just in the character of belt mechanics. I know a thing or two about that; it's literally my job. In the same vein: You DON'T want to make the zig-zags of the splice shorter, if you still want to be able to keep that belt under high tension, ESPECIALLY at elevated temperatures. Varying properties over the splice will also remain an issue if there's a considerable difference in properties between the coating material of the top coat and the core, the latter is by necessity thermoplastic (usually TPU or PVC), to make the belt weldable, the former may well be cured / crosslinked, thus rubber-like or even actual rubber. The fact that the white core material seeps up at the weld line tells me that the top coat most probably is NOT thermoplastic. Having seen the surface pattern up close, that's definitely a deliberate embossing, not just a random fabric imprint. If the top coat material is indeed rubber, they may want to consider a truly seamless belt. These exist, but may not make the notoriously cheap maker-market happy...

[@johngrouse]

A year on from this video (and these things have probably been discussed) I've found that the cooling fan for the heatsink was not effective enough to prevent PLA melting at the tip of the PTFE tube. Jamming became a constant issue. After swapping out the heatbreak for a bi-metal all metal one which moves the end of the PTFE much higher in the heatsink, the jams went away. I also found that the PTFE quick fittings (PC4-M10) which come with the printers all either failed at some point or had a huge amount of slop in them. Swapping them out with another brand sorted that out as well. Replacing the stock PTFE with Capricorn was also applied to our four CR-30's. So, Naomi/Creality, please consider applying these changes to shipping CR-30's as they have significantly improved our printers?

[@CommodoreKazz]

That is kind of surprising considering that belts have been used in all sorts of industrial applications over the last 50-70 years. I'm sure there's a suitable belt out there, but probably not available off the shelf and only available via B2B deals in 1000s of quantity. I hope this opens up the door for more innovation in this space. I just hope Creality doesn't screw it up and kill the mindshare for belt printers in the wider 3D printing community.

[@earthspawn3d]

Tilt the benchy 40 degrees towards the print-head and add supports for the bottom part. So basically printing it flat from the print-head plane.

[@MrHubert1710]

Is it possible to set it up for continous printing? I have in mind two cases: 1) Hypothetical - "Infinite" length part - like "I" beam with repeating pattern 2) Pratctical - continous mass printing of single part type (also repeating pattern just with distance between print regions) because it removes print from bed with belt. Very intriguing printer, if repeating patterns are imposible i feel it would be big waste of potential

[@labiq1896]

Ender 3: Make sure its squared ! CR-30: Make sure its squared at 40 degree angle ! lol aside from that, this probably a big OOF or a big YAY for the bed surface. Great grip power comes with great grip responsibility. To grippy, small prints roll under at the end, not gripping enough leads pre-mature pop off. The "Catching Rollers" should be some what closer or having a short flat platform in between the bed roller and support rollers, so that small prints wont go down the bed or getting grinded on/into the rollers. Not to mention the new definition of textured bed wobbling lol. The print finish edges looks like an italic letters but may or may not be a concern for prop makers since we just sand it off later, but may be some for people who prefer finish as it is or functional prints that require some accuracy. Customizing this may be the same just like Ender 3 but I do hope there's aftermarket texture bed belts. This one is a bit ouch for some of us. Its look promising for mass-production prints but as a guy who makes small keychains with ender 3, I might skip it or wait for "Definition Edition" for this printer.

[@xaytana]

The idea is great, and I know it's been DIY'ed in the past, not sure if this is the first production infinite-Y machine or not, but execution needs some work. Rather than doing the cooling portion of the belt and doing the weird angle thing to break the piece off, I'd rather see testing done with having a scraper that becomes a flat platform before the first roller, which would of course have to be level with the bed, meaning the scraping edge would have to be tangent to the initial curve of the belt; in theory, this should work a lot better, but nobody knows until it's tested. Another thing that should be part of the machine is auto belt tensioning, a lot of people aren't going to know how to properly tension a belt, adding springs and a slide to the rear roller, which doesn't get used, would be a useful OEM upgrade for those that don't want to modify the machine. Belt material, pattern, and construction seems a bit jank, the materials themselves might be compatible with printing but the construction of said materials isn't, and the pattern on it might be good for a general use belt but clearly isn't great for printing as it's too mechanically adhesive. Also the angled print head is good for continuous prints, which is what this machine is clearly designed for, but isn't so great at miniatures, as seen by the Benchy proving to be a bit odd when the overhangs are modified to be at a different angle than what is typical. As for testing that you can do, there's a couple things I'd like to see. Print a Benchy on top of an angled block, so that the boat is angled to the belt but perpendicular to the nozzle; this may prove to be a solution to the overhang problem. Another test that I want to see is the machine put on a stand, so that the belt is angled in relation to the table, but the nozzle is parallel to the table; I want to see this for adhesion properties of the belt, and for printing properties of printing onto a severely non-flat surface. As a side effect of both tests in combination, you could create a production mill with this machine, where the prints pop right off and are easily gravity fed into a bucket, and the angled setup would make the machine taller but not as deep. Combine these with the potential fixes I suggested in the former half of this comment, and it'd be an almost bulletproof constant production machine; eat your heart out Prusa print farm.

Well, it's meant for infinite Z so something like a huge Eiffel Tower or Empire State building would be nice. Or stilts...stilts would be fun.

I think those "rolling off" issues could also be solved by special rafts that are constructed such that they snap off the belt more easily in one direction. That would mean less stress getting through to the rest of the print....

[@gaanong3219]

It's definitely going to add more thinking to how models are positioned on the build plate. For example, had the benchy been rotated to point to either side of the build belt. it would not have been able to make the bridge on the front window without supports.

It seems like the flexible belt is a problem. The stitching for one, but also that it can be distorted by the print. My guess is that rather than lifting the print from the belt, the entire belt can be lifted slightly from the heater underneath, which caused that seam when it started trying to pull the belt away from the long print.

Really a remarkably intelligent idea to angle things. I hear a lot about the belt, I don't think you need a textured one, just something like a supermarket smooth belt and have the "joining seam" in the belt with a reflective tag on it so before a print it places the seam just ahead of the print and therefore no break. Maybe?

Any chance to mount a custom "scraper" towards the end of the belt? At or slightly below the belt plane where it dips, slanted edge. Might help to separate the print but more importantly, also support it to keep the whole thing from tilting and being lifted off the belt. Main problem would of course be calibration. Too low and you get tilting, too high and the whole model gets stuck. Could be useful to be detachable, so it can be used for large prints only (reducing it to the one critical moment of the model initially going over the edge).

since the benchie is not printed in the intended orientation, you're comparing apples and oranges here.

I wonder if you were to use a sheet of 2024 T-0 Aluminum adhered to the belt and sealed at the break if you would have amazingly smooth parts. 2024 T-0 is what I used in the Army to fabricate aluminum parts for Helicopters and if it is a thin enough sheet it is extremely flexible stuff. It would conform to the bed and rollers since they do not roll at an extreme angle.
