To get the resin to better sit where it is extruded, you might try adding a low boiling point solvent and using the part cooling or heater block to boil it off just after extrusion. Hexane or IPA might be perfect. Of course, it might ruin the resin.

[@woodwaker1]

What size nozzle are you using? You could ask Max for suggestions

[@michaelherron362]

Once things are better worked out, an obvious suggestion would be to replace the attached lasers with a fiber optic light feed. LEDs might be cheaper too.

[@ThomasIJsseldijk]

try adding grinded down cured resin as a thickening agent. should have the same density as uncured resin.

[@Doktoreq]

Moving the UV light out of the nozzle should improve things quite a bit - less resin stuck to the nozzle means less failures and more consistent "extrusion". Ideal setup would be ring light like arrangement where the nozzle stays dark and the curing process starts some distance from the nozzle. Might be worth experimenting with using clear resin prints as a light pipe (transparent plastic part stuck to the LEDs).

I kept pausing the video and going back to make sure i didn't miss any easter eggs lol

[@KosmoGoat]

I remember seeing a printer with same concept as this at FormNext last year by Massivit 3D. As far as I recall they use a photocurable and water-soluble "gel" with exactly the same process for hardening as shown here. They also have a second extruder with thermoset resin. So you can print a soluble mold with this uv-fdm process and fill it with thermoset resin at the same time. Anyway, it's an amazing start!

[@jzagaja]

So instant curing or after finishing the layer?

[@ulrichkliegis4138]

What is the patent scenario around this concept? Patent attorneys can be painfully humorless.

[@scottylore13]

This project is amazing. To prevent the resin from sticking to the nozzle, a cone around the nozzle might help or angle the UV lights in a different way. Ensuring there is no way the resin cures near the nozzle. As others already pointed out an enclosure might help as well to avoid unwanted light and keep the temperature more constant. Best regards

[@matthewblankenbeheler1061]

I was thinking a little of that ptfe coating stuff that slice engineering sells or ptfe spray applied to the nozle using a towel.

[@Personnenenparle]

To get more control on the flow, you should try a couple things. 1. Funnel feeding 2. Stronger pump that feeds an elaßtic reservoir like a think silicone tube 3. A pinch valve. I used that setup to make a reaserch platform for molecular gastronomy, it works great.

[@testboga5991]

That would be highly nonlinear and not a good idea at all.

[@madmonky32]

You should use silica to thicken the resin. It's what we use in the industry if we need a resin to be more viscous. The glass bubbles are used in similar lines, but reduce strength etc. The silica powder is also translucent so should cure even better.

[@WhamBamSystems]

More amazing than the printing is how you can also film it and tell the story. If I was working on a project like this it would definitely be stuff absolutely everywhere.

[@artisticmike]

Try angling the uv lights so that the beam is at least a few mm from the nozzle. And at that point I think you could use a little less thickener to keep it from balling up, because those uv lights seem to cure pretty fast.

[@zumuvtuber]

[@strictnonconformist7369]

Congratulations on taking a standard FDM printer, adding some fun chemistry/materials and added hardware, and creating the beast of both worlds! Surprisingly good results thus far. The challenges are it seems to be subject to the failure modes you can expect from both types of printing and printers combined, including the issue of the fumes you need to avoid breathing. Hopefully it can be figured out well enough to counter the cost of the problems with better results than either type alone can do. I see your methodology and if it can be done, it won't be too long before it is done. Sovol must love watching their printers being hacked like this! Should you get it working well enough, perhaps they'll sell a kit based off your work.

[@ansphotographics]

Nice work man! Great idea and interesting result. It reminds me of those inkjet UV printers

[@B1GJano]

very cool video! Love to see where this goes from here!

[@Cinemaaereo]

Hi. Once I had this idea and I tried to do it with UV Leds and a syringe for the resin. I used clear resin to continue curing after the nozzle was on another layer and used a "hat" to protect the nozzle from UV light. See you.

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

EXCELLENT. Seems a bit smaller nozzle, and possibly an internal check-valve that requires a bit of pressure to allow goo passage, but with no back pressure shuts off.

[@eraldylli]

[@3dtechnologies153]

[@edwinvega853]

You guys are at another level! Congrats for your so far success. I was thinking that maybe you can reduce the focus point of the UV light so that they target the resin after it is extruded. That way, maybe, you mitigate the curing of the resin at the nozzle.

That's so cool! I love your innovative approach and your filming too! 👍 To solve some of the "sticking to the nozzle" problems, maybe it would help to have a little "umbrella" around the opening of the nozzle, so that the resin only cures a few millimeters after the nozzle...?

Although I can't think of a single practical application for this I've always wondered if it's possible and I'm happy to see there's somebody doing it for once! Still, the only advantage I can think of is the possibility of better bridging and development of future processes but that doesn't make it any less exciting.

[@impressions3d]

Use AEROSIL 200 for thixing the resin (high viscosity when still, lower viscosity when moving). And Byk Chemie for Wetting and dispersing and anti settling additive.

[@properprinting]

That's interesting, thanks for your suggestion!

[@tronique5736]

I think you could get really good results here with a few adjustments - screw pump gravity fed by a hopper - higher viscosity resin mix - shade the nozzle so that resin stuck to it doesn't cure - more light intensity and slower print speed

[@mr702s]

A mini paste extruder that cures with UV instead of heat, well done!

[@faxxzc]

You’re so creative! Meanwhile other youtuber‘s biggest accomplishment is printing things at 1000%

[@marcelwoingue-dagrou2556]

Very good idea! Nice one !

[@Enjoymentboy]

This is a really interesting and intriguing series. It really makes the imagination run wild. I wonder if the peristaltic pump might work better if the resin is stored in a reservoir above the pump to allow for gravity feed instead of forcing the pump to draw the resin upwards against gravity. You could even incorporate a mixing mechanism to keep the resin from separating before it is pumped.

[@planecrazy03]

this might be way off topic but where did you get the whiteboard mounting brackets from? anyway to share?

[@TheNextDecade]

As a guy who had to work on Ipro8000's, and now consumer level fdm... Try accura extreme white or watershed clear if you can get a hold of them. Their viscosity and photosensitivity may be the best solution to some of these issues you are having. Thanks for the Stroopwaffels at ERRF too!

[@properprinting]

Thanks for your suggestion! Also, you're welcome!

[@markjacksmarkjacks]

I will be following your progress closely. I have been working on a similar innovation.

[@odi_de_podi]

Geweldig! Je hebt het precies aangepakt zoals ik het zou doen. Wat ik me nu bedenk is dat je de printhead lichter kan krijgen als je een even sterk signaal kan maken met 1 UV lamp en een lens om het brandpunt precies op print hoogte te krijgen. Dat idee met glasvezels vond ik ook mooi out-of-the-box maar ook wel vrij complex. Voor het gewicht van zo'n opstelling zou een enkele high power UV LED dat ook voldoende moeten zijn. Ben benieuwd naar de volgende iteratie!

[@deucedeuce1572]

Still impressive... and has POTENTIAL for future research and technology. I have absolutely no doubt this could be a step in the direction to something better than both FDM and resin printing. (and it could lead to much stronger resin prints that can have much more strength than FDM or any plastic).

[@DarthTater5738]

You should add a wipe channel on the bed somewhere. Like a v-slot the same angle as the nozzle then and g-code every layer or so to go wipe the nozzle. Or even just and upside down brush.

[@JosephCooperNightcore]

I'm really amazed to see how far you are making progress. This custom made resin and the whole process with the pump could technically work on bigger scale, similar to industrial cement printers

[@properprinting]

Thanks! Yes I'm pumped about the possibilities this enables!

[@mattieo2844]

I'm amazed. This could be a revolutionary new 3d printer category. In fact I'm sure it will be. This is actually so cool and fascinating. I'm sure once this is well done out it could compete in the same way fdm and resin do. It'll be the same case of that this has certain advantages over the other, so in certain applications it'll be better. Truly amazing

[@properprinting]

Thanks! It's fun to experiment with this and come up with new insights of what's possible. I'm convinced that we're going to find some interesting applications!

[@shemp308]

Interesting attempt! Makes me wonder if at some time in the future we may see something on this basis.

[@Allan-mf1he]

Awesome man. I think if you can use some kind of screw extruder with a tank that rides along you can have a much thicker resin mix that should help a lot I think. the tank that rides along can be filled with a less precise kind of pump that can handle the sludge. Keep on trucking dude.

[@femmyvr3290]

I wont lie, this is a whole new level of printing, Ash and Glass Powder as thicking agents? Never would have guessed but Chemically makes sense, I hope you get this right man, this technology could be revolutionary, I would also say, Raising the nozzle a litt higher than the Laser focus would probably stop the build up

[@TechnicallyDane]

I used those glass bubbles as filler in fiberglass polyester resin and epoxy.

[@PaulDominguez]

Very cool. Your resin reminded me of those pottery clay printers. I think they use a worm-drive pump and syringe pump. Would help with the flow. Also a shroud around the nozzle to block UV.

[@properprinting]

It looked so similar indeed! I want to use this technique to see if it can print the clay which would be awesome!

[@nullexxx]

What if you "wiped" with the UV light between layers? Is it possible to add a bit of retract as well?

[@medienmond]

if u use a resin bottle with one pipe directly to the nozzle dpped to the very bottom into the resin and one pipe into the bottle from the top only 2 cm in the air inside the bottle, and then pressure the second pipe with higher pressure air from your pump, the resin does not have to go through your pump. think about curing in a different pass when printing, then you can use more fluid resin.

[@nunolourenco1532]

I have made a paste extruder and also considered using a resin base paste for photo curing. I would use regular UV LEDs and make a “hat” to cast a shadow to the tip of the nozzle. If you solved the light scattering issue I would say that the laser light is too concentrated for this application. Instead of a “hat “ you could use a more obtuse nozzle tip and raise the light source (to cast shadows).

[@alejandrotaudil3689]

Awesome concept!!!

[@felixgarber6880]
