First Prints from the FUNMAT HT

The Funmat HT from Intamsys is interesting. It can print PEEK and ULTEM, going over 400C. It can also handle PLA and lower temp filaments. The build plate gets to 160C, and even the enclosed chamber goes to 90C. The build volume isn't small, and it's built extremely well. Let's have a look at some first prints from the machine!

[@echannover48]

So I have used the Intamsys in the past and it really is a cool machine. A few things to note though: The models you printed don't really represent the parts you would typically print on such a machine (or with ASA for that matter). If you want nicely detailed prints, you would go for PLA on something like a Prusa. Where this printer is interesting is when it comes to engineering tasks (printing end use parts, fixtures, jigs, tools etc.). Many companies use PEEK, PEKK or PEI because they are rated for UL94 V-0, FAR 25.853 or OSU 65/65. I like your videos, don't get me wrong, but for this one you sort of missed the point in my opinion. Try printing something that shows of the crazy stiffness and strength of these materials, not just toys and figurines! :) Typically users print gears, flame retardant covers, high temp use cases (something in machinery or engines) etc. For the adhesion issues, I would recommend Magigoo (at least for the low-temp stuff). It usually makes the removal quite a bit easier or at least provides a thicker coat which is easier to wash away under tap water. From my experience letting the parts cool down also helps (I know you said the opposite in your video). Adhesion solutions like Dimafix for example have graphs that show that the adhesion is weaker when it is below 60 degrees and strongest between 100 and 120 degrees. On top of that you also have the shrinkage of the Polymer when it cools down which sometimes even makes parts "pop" off. If you want to be a bit risky, try putting the glas plate in the freezer directly after a print. I do it all the time and did not have any issues, but if you're unlucky it could shatter the plate. ;)

[@ChristopherGaul]

I actually couldn't care less about seeing more ABS prints, but I'm very interested in seeing prints with high temp materials. PEEK, PEI, some of the engineered nylon family materials etc. As for what, I'd love to see some precision parts, gear sets, and functional parts. I'd also like to see you print some mechanical parts and test them under load.

[@tronskifpv]

have you tried PC? I'm about to use some polycarbonate on my truck. Glass transition temp is around 230F so I hope thats good enough for long term on the outside of the engine.

[@kh8655]

@@tronskifpv If the piece is necessary to keep it running you should test it first. Try putting a thermometer near the area to get the average temp while your truck is running. Then put the piece in the oven at that temperature to see if it can handle it.

[@Flacoon1]

Temper some PLA :) just try it out. It handles temperatures pretty good.

[@tronskifpv]

@@kh8655 I had hoped the OP had some experience with the materials we can print on cheap printers. Car intake manifolds are made from glass reinforced nylon. All of the white fluid tanks are high-density polyethylene. Both of those are things we can print right now. So id think we could make most anything as long as its not in contact with hot oil, exhaust or hot coolant. We might even be able to do coolant parts, but failure is too high a risk. Polycarobonate is on the low side of these materials, but its not critical and i have it to try.

[@tronskifpv]

@@Flacoon1 yes I'm sure that could do lots of areas on a vehicle. My part is next to the fuel rails so I expect the temps to hit ~200 F. I do however have a PLA bushing on my hood prop for a test. so far so good.

That glass fusing with the abs is a known problem of that type of bed. The same thing happend to me on a uktimaker 3. I solve the issue using Elmer's glue stick on the bed acting as a release agent. Works perfect, you can let the bed cool and then the part is easy to remove.

[@MAYERMAKES]

to protect glas buildplates you can use Printastick (it provides perfect adhesion, while also actingg as a separation layer to the glass. PETG also likes to grab on, I always use printastick whenever I print Petg, ABS or other stuff. can't afford delays due to failed prints for my element14presents videos.

[@martincloud9]

Hi Joel, How about using the Peek to print a tool that you can keep using long after the printer is gone. Perhaps a mallet or something.

[@nickpunch9661]

Very cool! I do have to ask though......what to do in geometries when supported is needed when printing high temp materials. I do have access to a Fortus 450 at work and their breakaway support for ULTEM is godsend If you were to print ULTEM in this machine and need supported areas what is the solution (short of devising your own support system in SolidWorks?)

[@GregoryGHarding]

love to see a super fast print with PLA at those temps. the hotter the faster you can push filament through. the less time the filament stays at the hotend the cooler it will come out without damage.

[@3DMakers]

It is cool to see new stuff (I know that this has been around for a while but cool for us to be able to see) You should work with Daniel Noree to build a differential joint and transmission for the Open RC car, that should put it through a lot of stress and we could also see if it is any more wear resistant to the frictional forces in the car.

[@ddubs1271]

Could you use a heat gun under the build plate to help loosen the print? It would help with the removal.

[@guischall]

Hi Joel! You can try to print those plastic bushings from your RC car with these high temp materials to see if they can hold up.

[@TheMidnightSmith]

If I'm gonna spend $6k on it, I wanna know the material lives up to it's claims.

[@joearchuleta7538]

There are other reviews on this printer that are not as nice!!!

[@PrintsandProps]

E3d premium abs is sabic mg94 ABS, which is what stratasys has been using since the 80s and is the defacto standard in printable ABS. As for what to print in high temp stuff, it’d be cool to see some of these parts implemented in the openRC! Also maybe printing some replacement parts for the prusa in CF peek?! Talk about increased rigidity!

[@sailorman2617]

Can you make some better parts for the F1 car? Pulleys, bearing etc.?

[@ewen832]

Hi Joel. The build plate removal process is brutal and this will put off a lot of buyers. Can you try the process I use on my ender 3 glass mirror plate where I have had 100% success since I started 18 months ago. Rub a blue glue stick over the glass and then with a wet paper towel remove all of the glue. The prints get perfect adhesion and when the printing process is finished I let the plate cool. When I hear a loud cracking sound usually at room temp the complete print can just be lifted off or slid of the glass. I would be interested to find out if this works in this enclosure.

[@grantdeisig1360]

I broke off a chunk on my borosilicate glass plate too. I did the same thing... I printed it in abs, and then let it cool overnight, and when I removed it, I ran into the same problem. So now I just let it cool down slightly so I can handle it and then remove it. Live and learn I guess. Joel you should make some peek egg shapers for cooking. That would work right?

[@MakenModify]

450C sounds hot enough to extrude tin, lead, and zinc based alloys. Though I suspect a plastic extrusion range is useful for standard FDM printing.

[@Turbo187KillerB]

Print something in PEEK that you would normally make out of metal.

[@dooley9621]

Looking very brown and shiny there Joel

[@Dylanm0909]

the problem with too well adhesion to glass can be fixed with putting some water around the edge of the model. it can even help when cooled down to room temperature already. Works for me with PLA after cooling down on a ikea mirror when prints are too well stuck. just add some water around the edge, maybe try a bit to get lose, but often just wait and you can hear it crack loose or hear nothing. 1 min later and it can be removed with ease

[@Livefree-er3zt]

I think it would be cool if you did some stress test videos of the engineering grade filaments.

[@phizicks]

removing the print when the build plate it hot has the problem of warping your print as you try to lift it and it bends because the PLA is still warm.. so give it a few minutes to cool a little

[@nocjef]

Oh Joel. Your inexperience with abs is surprising. It prints this well on the prusa mk2. You need to get with the program. I’m surprised they went with glass, that’s old tech and there is so much better now. Matterhackers build abs is quite good. I’m sure they’ll send you some.

[@Antonime95]

Very concerned about removing models when buildplate is still hot, sounds more like "work-around". With my experience, slow and even cooling of buildchamber for ABS part is a must in such scenario. Heated bed messes with printed part temperature, making cooling process even more complicated. By the way, is there an option to print without heated bed? I would definitely tried it if it's possible. Also, thank you very much for the review. I've been waiting for this machine to become more popular, since it allows so much more than usual printers. Hope to see more :)

MakersMuse did a video about ABS and if it ages... His results were that it's not very hygroscopic if it even is at all, and print quality stays consistent with even ABS filaments that have been on the shelf for numerous years.

[@charlcilliers855]

The low temp hot end does have a ptfe tube in the lower section! The peek tube is only on the cold side of the extruder. It wears out and will cause skipping like you are experiencing. Need to replace it often

[@VisionMiner]

Truth! We personally opt for all-metal, all the time. The PTFE just breaks down and gets in the way, really not necessary.

"Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was ABS killed the Beast." ABS took a hunk of my plate, too, hahaha. I know those feels.

[@andy-in-indy]

I love using ASA for Lazer Tag and Nerf parts. Durable (a little harder than ABS) and very strong when you get the layers to adhere well. Stick with a PVA/glue stick for bed adhesion with your ABS and ASA prints. Use a little isopropyl alcohol to get it off the bed. Keep PETG away from the Borosilicate plates because it will never let go. You should make some of your F1 parts out of the PEAK/Carbon Fiber and/or Polycarbonate before you send it back. So, can it print pewter miniatures using ROHS solder as the filament? Maybe something zinc/lead instead?

[@zanpekosak2383]

Can you print PTFE plastic? Does such filament exist?

[@BRUXXUS]

I.... don't think PTFE is a thermoplastic, but I could be wrong. I think it just burns or sublimates at high temps. Also produces some REALLY horrific and toxic fumes when over temp.

[@ualdayan]

i have seen ABS break glass before, but it is much more common with PETG. Adding things like glue actually helps prints release without breaking the glass rather than making things stick even more.

[@edumaker-alexgibson]

I couldn't see much difference between the hot ends - are there subtle differences, big ones I just missed, or are they identical? It's a good idea not to mix plastics that melt in different ranges so that's my guess...

[@additivealex4566]

from what i can tell from dissembling it many times is its an E3D hotend.
