If this can be used with a 3d printer may things can be printed and turned into metal

[@necromancer0616]

Yes, 3D metal printing from home would be AWESOME! Make it so #1...!

[@EmeraldHill-vo1cs]

Only $2000 a pop.

Secret business advantage making prototyping tools: Living near to the Hacksmith.

[@ActionBOX]

I flew three hours to get to him 😂 He is not exactly next door.

[@NigelTolley]

​@@ActionBOXSecret business advantage of both living near an airport! 😂 Your product looks cool. You could also use a silver paste, but I can see why you went with copper. Very nice.

[@ActionBOX]

@@NigelTolley Thank you very much, silver is actually in the works. stay tuned for more. Cheers

[@Vibe77Guy]

​@@ActionBOX Gold would be pretty easy as well.

[@jtwarner13]

Never expected a collab between 2 of my favorite youtubers! That's so cool! Totally should work together!

[@thehudsonforge71]

EVERYONE should be talking about this right now, such an incredible material, I hope it gets all the attention it deserves!

[@richardprice5978]

cool it's copper but aluminium or magazinem please, im looking to modifying or re-poping a rare ~ 1970 ~ set housings/covers of alcoa's/dodge-parts

[@SadSpaceDuck]

Please merge the left and right audio track. Other than that I love your company and the products you’re making, I look forward to the printer you’re currently working on!

[@TheWeepingCorpse]

metal desktop printer YES YES YES

[@crassbusinessman3122]

Please, PLEASE make a metal desktop 3D printer.

[@ActionBOX]

It's in the works, and knowing how great of an engineer the HACKSMITH is I have no doubt we will succeed.

[@chrishayes5755]

@@ActionBOX Please allow use of industrial grade sintering materials, not just copper.

[@NigelTolley]

​@@chrishayes5755Let them run before they skydive.

[@ActionBOX]

@@chrishayes5755 Yessir, Working on it.

[@heinzhaupthaar5590]

​@@ActionBOX Achieving a properly working metal 3D printer takes way more than just a great engineer and a few years. It's much further from trivial than most realize and at least one or two orders of magnitude harder and more complex compared to designing and manufacturing something simple like a proper and competitive VMC for example.

[@ryantaylor6831]

If you need HSI to make the metal 3D printer happen, absolutely collaborate. Otherwise, I think you guys can do it on your own. You do some awesome work. Can’t wait to see that!

[@ActionBOX]

We will be making it happen! Maybe even faster than you think. Thank you for your support and awesome comment 😃

[@hacksmith]

First! 😅

[@ActionBOX]

Second! 😅

[@DJ-kx4en]

Since yall are both here 😅 Can you inject Maste into the sintered part, then make metal coins instead of plastic? Doesn't seem like there would be any fusion?

[@ActionBOX]

@@DJ-kx4en We've actually successfully made metal coins by 3D printing similar molds.

[@bumsiltech]

How to get precise sizes for sintered final products? Does it require further machining such as casting?

[@ActionBOX]

It shrinks about 6% so just make your molds 6% larger. Cheers.

[@henriktholstrup7264]

Are you crazy! - get going! - we neeeed these (metal desktop 3D printer) tools :-)

[@ActionBOX]

Working on it. Thanks for your support.

[@mechadense]

Is there a chance that aluminum maste could work too? Or is aluminum just too reactive?

[@crassbusinessman3122]

This makes me so happy. Great products & great content will always yield great results.

[@ActionBOX]

Love to see your comment here again. Thanks for your continuous support.

[@rbouakaz]

Yes absolutely build us 3d metal printer!

[@JinKee]

I am so hyped for desktop metal

[@schuman2242]

Colab and get the desktop metal 3D printer going!

[@TheEngineeringDutchman]

oooo woow I was waiting voor this video!!!!! this is so cool

[@richardepps8500]

Now that you've done a big time KZbin celeb collaboration, you just have to wait and let the subs roll on in!

[@TerrisLeonis]

For the hobbyist on a budget, is it feasible to use an Injekto M both to make injection moulds, and also to inject the plastic into them? Or is Injekto M unsuitable for plastic? If mixed use of a single machine for both plastic and maste is a bad idea, is there anything stopping one from just melting and pouring maste using a pot on a stovetop, and reserving the Injekto for plastic use? In this video it looked like the Injekto M was unnecessary for making the metal mould as it was just poured rather than injected.

[@emberprototypes]

This reminds me a lot of local metal printing company Rapidia here in Vancouver 🙂

[@KingBjord]

you should tell them to brand new metals with their periodic table of elements symbols, so CuMaste, FeMaste, etc LUL

[@ActionBOX]

Ooo that’s a really good idea.

[@evanlane1690]

Metal 3d printer would be awesome! Honestly, the sintering and burnout process needs to be made into a easy user experience more than the part creation side (in my mind).

[@ActionBOX]

I’m not sure if you noticed but our system is a 1 step process unlike other processes that have a debinding step as well.

[@mrlithium69]

This is so cool and innovative, we need more!

[@afmakes4179]

Yes PULEEZ give us a (reasonably) affordable metal 3D printer for home!!!!!!!!

[@NorthernShipyards]

OMG this is so cool. I’d pull the trigger right now but my wife will be pissed as I already have a burnout oven. Love it. Keep up the awesome work.

[@ActionBOX]

We sell the kit without the furnace. Just reach out to us.

[@maxcarter3413]

Absolutely amazing. Wow.

[@ChrissYoutube.-eb1kt]

Definitely should do desktop 3d metal printer together

[@En3rGyFaNforEv3r]

Congratulation guys i think you really did it with this one! Can you make copper electrodes for a edm sinker? This would be a total gamechanger.

[@NigelTolley]

Wow, yeah, that could be something. EDM sink a finished copper part with high detail into any metal!

[@Animaniac-vd5st]

How big i the shrinkage in the sintering process? We can see that the final coin is slightly smaller than the original positive used.

[@ActionBOX]

Good eye, the shrinkage is around 6% You can get more of these details on our website actionbox.ca

[@NigelTolley]

6%.

[@sx35b2-no5wd]

Now the new lightsaber from maste

[@mrglasecki]

I would absolutely love to play with a set up like that 🤗 imagine a mounting the machine on a bench with air or hydraulic cylinders on rails for automation 😎 outstanding

[@ActionBOX]

Feel free to get one at actionbox.ca

[@mick62569]

What's the advantage than just heating up the copper and just using regular molds?

[@deucedeuce1572]

Is there any shrinkage at all? Can mechanical parts be made to spec or is it really just for cosmetic parts?

[@deucedeuce1572]

We definitely need a desktop metal 3d printer!! (an affordable one at least).

[@en2oh]

Have you developed other metals beyond copper? If not, are you planning to?

[@ActionBOX]

Yes indeed, we are currently working on several and will make them available in the near future.

[@harethfasel94]

I ordered Injecto M yesterday and waiting to receive 🎉🎉😊😊

[@ActionBOX]

We got your order. Thanks for the comment, we threw in some FREE MASTE for you.

[@harethfasel94]

@ appreciate you guys waiting new material as you advice it will be available soon

[@beratkeskin5151]

Is it copper or kind of steel ?

[@Bjstevensen01]

Great colab.

[@Mrjrich37055]

Hell yea do it!!!

[@oiyaidiot]

Yes collaboration

[@m4vr1ck]

How much shrinkage is there with this maste?

[@ActionBOX]

About 6%

[@Timboykee]

What a great time to be alive in the great age of the Makerscene era! (I made up that word.)

[@ActionBOX]

I kinda like that term. Moving from the Holocene epoch to the makerscene. All thanks to you.

[@vinceelegado]

Please never sell your company.

[@kaden56]

But if they don’t sell it one day then rich people can’t become richer and the company wouldn’t ever get miss managed and lose its vision. Wouldn’t want that.

[@mehmetgul8686]

thanks for sharing, it is so cool

[@PaganWizard]

I would love to see a 3D printer for metal that's affordable for the hobbyist/DIY'er. I like to restore antique power tools, and something like that would be perfect for recreating parts which were originally made from cast iron, but are now unobtanium.

[@joenunya8449]

@ActionBox Two, ok three Questions. Could you use a cover over the top of the sintering powder to reduce how much is ashed/consumed with each sinter? Possibly a vacuum pump to remove oxygen? The molds are created using the copper maste, but the final parts are injection molded plastic? Could you make the mold two sided and fill from the top to directly create copper or other metal parts? What would the benefits of this process be over lost plastic sand casting using fdm? Increased mold life?

[@ku8721]

2:48 That guy watched WAY too much Mythbusters as a kid!!!

[@ActionBOX]

Heck yeah I did.

[@Andrei-pt8vo]

Love to see this

[@santynolo]

I am working on making an open source plastic extrusion machine, and i had the idea of extruding MASTE with it, will it ever be available in Argentina? I'm only 14 so i can't afford or justify shipping for something so small

[@ActionBOX]

That awesome. Is it much different than INJEKTO M? Sounds like a cool project

[@santynolo]

@@ActionBOX I think so, it's an extrusion screw type machine, so it can't extrude very fast but it can (in theory) create a lot of pressure to fill molds

[@ericksockol9684]

Ummmm….YES! Please use your creativity to build a metal desktop printer…more than copper could be useful, too!

[@ActionBOX]

Working on it, and new materials are already in progress. Stay tuned for more 😃. Thanks for your support 😊

[@snowpaw360]

Wow, i expected more flashing considering it wasn't machined, wish I had a workshop lol

[@subinspecttom2499]

Would this stuff work for serious detailed ECM?

[@ActionBOX]

can you elaborate on what ECM is?

[@Donorcyclist]

An M3DP would be awesome!!! Build it, and we will come!

[@ActionBOX]

We are making it alright 😉. Thoughts on the teaser we shared in the video?

[@MrClaypogue]

Injecto metal seem like it becomes liquid enough to be ran through a 3D printing head!

[@dailybusiness8162]

Wait, what about metal filament? Possible since quite a while..

[@chrishayes5755]

Nice collab. Honestly it would be nice to see hacksmith working on more functional projects. He has endless talent and a solid team, but I think he does too many "cool / interesting" projects and not enough functional ones. We must convert him.

[@JW-rg6rg]

DO IT !!!

[@JinKee]

taofledermaus and the ballistic machinist could do wicked things with Maste shotgun slugs

[@rosshall8067]

Metal 3D printer pleeeeeeaaaaaase! Im guessing it'll use maste as filament?

[@thomvinson]

[@platin2148]

[@o1ecypher]

This was an aMasting video! can i use it like a clay to make things

[@ActionBOX]

We are also working on a clay version. Stay tuned for future updates.

[@billpeiman8973]

Where are you located? (I'm in Kitchener) How does the conductivity compare to pure copper? How can you separate the white and black powder?

[@ActionBOX]

Hi Bill, The metal comes out as pure copper. We have new materials coming out soon as well. To separate the used FUSION MIX from the black you can just use a spoon.

[@billpeiman8973]

​@@ActionBOX Can the mixed b&w still be used? Is the density of annealed maste the same as regular pure copper?

[@mechadense]

​@@ActionBOX - Curious what kind of new materials. Aluminum would be 🤩 as it's light and strong and cheaper for robo frame parts but I realize it's reactivity is a problem. Nickel is way stronger than copper has a similar melting point and nonreactivity but is quite expensive and bad for skin. Iron has high melting point and rusts unless heavily alloyed with expensive metals. Magnesium likely waay too reactive. Titanium adds a too high melting point to high reactivity.

[@NigelTolley]

​@@mechadenseSilver is the other common metal in paste form. It's pretty tough compared to copper, and a bit more expensive.

[@mechadense]

​@@NigelTolley - Silver is a nice and easy option. But more for very small parts and jewelry than robot parts (which would fall more in my personal range of interest).

[@crackers494]

Microwave sintering when?

[@agentid36]

Now I'm wondering about dusting the inside of the injection molding part with carbon/aluminum/copper/etc dust to both improve the demolding process but also provide a surface to either electroplate or polish.

[@ActionBOX]

That is a very interesting idea.

[@NathanNostaw]

maybe a graphite dusting could achieve the same result. But having the surface pre prepped for plating is a big plus.

[@Masterskiff]

Это очень дорогая технология. ))) Только для баловства... )))

[@Convolutedtubules]

Less than 24 hours? So it could take almost 24 hours?

[@NigelTolley]

It'll depend on size of part, how fast your kiln heats up and cools down, and how fast you're able to print.

[@Convolutedtubules]

@NigelTolley I guess the kiln will take the longest. Everything else seems fairly rapid.

[@ActionBOX]

The silicone takes the longest. I guess you could use faster setting silicone.

[@senfdame528]
