Gabe Loves Airships | Pausing Tangled Filament | PETG Added to API | 3D Printing News

[@HackMonkey]

Airships are super cool! Gabe's excitement about them is charming, and fun to see the joy they bring him. We all should try and find those little nuggets that just bring joy to our lives by simply knowing of something.

First half of the video: Small companies get money. Somewhere in between: tangled takes a break. Second half: Airships are awesome

[@AerialWaviator]

Airships are indeed amazing. All issues that lead to airship accidents either involved ground operations, or unexpected frontal weather activity. (significant changes in air density over short distances). Airships have traditionally had unpressurized cargo/passenger spaces, thus have to fly lower where weather is much more dynamic. Being able to fly above 5000 m (15,000 ft) the air is much more stable. Avoiding weather is why modern jets fly higher and have pressurized cabins. Weather forecasting did improve greatly over the 2000 century. BTW: while hydrogen burns, it was not as significant an issue with the Hindenburg as the press made it to be. The flammable nitrites paint on cotton linen used for aircraft covers in 1930's was very flammable. A paint layer also included metal particles (zinc)) to provide UV protection, but this could cause build up of static-electric charge. Modern materials eliminate many of these issues. Also in-air refuelling did not operationally exist until after WW2. A colder era technology. In-air refuelling could greatly reduce need for ground operations.

Gabe is really shipping air and ships right now.

[@jonathanshelton1965]

They need to 3d print one

[@Jmob4life]

And you can get it any color.

[@Person1873]

As long as it's black

[@mattwa33186]

I used to live near Pompano Beach. Got a call from the storage center I was using that the Goodyear Blimp had crashed into my unit. Guess it was trying to land, their field was only about a mile away.

[@chris993361]

I imagine airships will become viable again if we hit a point in materials technology where the balloon could actually be a vacuum. The lightest air we could fill an airship with is no air. Just a thought.

[@B0A2]

I really enjoyed the airship topic! Would love to hear about other technologies you find exciting

[@nonsquid]

I always thought that filament reels would be more efficient if filament was pulled from the center of a roll of filament instead of pulling it off the edge of a wheel spool. It works with electrical wire rolls instead of spools.

[@antongoulko6641]

I love air ship, I would love to see them used as a cargo ships in the air, gracefully floating in the sky. I am glad that I am not the only one.

[@plugwithapug]

If Gabe could, he would have a print farm in the sky. 😂

[@AuntJemimaGames]

It was certainly interesting to hear about things like the concept for that Amazon delivery airship. I think we're kind of behind on solutions like drone delivery by being so slow to update regulations, and not quite meeting cost effectiveness. I think the latter will be less of an issue as time goes on, and petrol products/fuels are less viable and affordable solutions. Zipline's medical drone delivery system in Rwanda is a perfect example of what the future could, and perhaps should, look like.

[@MrShaneSunshine]

Brag.....I have touched the 3D printed models used to calculate mast forces for the new google derrrigibble! Rough skin used in slicer to better approximate drag Co. 👍 and the goodyear blimp too!

[@slant3d]

Sweet!

[@jakeknapitsch8650]

Do you have an actual podcast feed for layer by layer? I hunted around the site and couldn’t find one.

[@JasonKingKong]

Someone at Adidas might have a trip to Elizabethtown coming.

[@madengineer9072]

Airships are very cool.

[@Sentinel373]

Airships are cool!

[@christianlainesse4281]

Oh the humanity!

[@nickrobertson9533]

So all the German air ships also crashed/didn't make multiple "trips"?

[@parkerscott5381]

Cant airships overcome headwinds, tailwinds, and crosswinds by moving? If it was traveling at 80mph would a crosswind flip it on its side?

[@jacklu-mo2ki]

Wow😂 3d printing = future god😅😊

[@tomcarroll6744]

Airships are indeed very cool. You are incorrect though re how they all crashed. The Germans had it down to a science. The LZ126 Garf Zepp was retired after years of Atlantic crossings including an around the world flight and a scientific voyage to the North pole. The LZ129 Hindenberg made many commercial Atlantic crossings and was probably sabotaged when it famously burnt at Lakehurst.

[@sleepib]

If you like airships, just move to Titan, that way you can use hydrogen without introducing a fire risk.

[@jordanschultz2232]

Airships are still the best way to travel they just got spooked by a couple booms and gave up

[@slant3d]

Every single one ever built has crashed

[@daydreaminginventor-k8957]

I will build one ,you want chip in ?

[@daydreaminginventor-k8957]

😅

[@brucedanieliii]

I paid for a subscription to your shopify api last month and your platform would not fulfill my orders and I was ignored by customer support. So I cancelled the membership and will print my own stuff. I'll have better filament selection that way anyway

[@slant3d]

I'm sorry to hear that. Can you share your store here. Or an email to [e-mail] with your KZbin handle so we can track down what went wrong with your requests and your store.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

"Airships are safe" not long after "every single one of them crashed" 🤔 I mean sure, if something does happen there's a lower chance of it being fatal since the things move so slow, but when there's such a high chance of something happening, I can't help but feel like that diminishes a lot of the safety benefits.. like you say about 3D printed models, it's not worth much if it's not reliable

[@JohnHoranzy]

The passengers could be given Wing Suits in case they have to abandon the ship.🤪

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

@@JohnHoranzy I mean it would fall down pretty slowly, so they'd probably be better off just waiting till the ground is close and jump from there, especially since there's not very many on board (like it's a neat tech, but I don't really wonder why they're not around anymore..)

[@JohnHoranzy]

@@TS_Mind_Swept I need to stop making stupid comments late at night. The safety record of Wing suits is very poor, the same as old airships. I think the new tech holds promise.

[@bradleykurtz2605]

You may find that the airship will have a return on Earth, but it will take the rise of graphene. The matrix of carbon atoms in graphene is too small for hydrogen to pass through. If hydrogen can not pass through, a spark might not be able to either. Also, a layer 1mm thick can stop a 9mm bullet.

[@martinsvensson6884]

They were probably too good. And that's why someone decided to put an end to their existance early on. I get a certain date vibes from it. In more than one way.

[@platin2148]

Zeppelin on Mars or the Moon then?

[@tazanteflight8670]

Too bad the Hindenburg couldnt have saved all the people from the Titanic....

[@Schwift3D]

Just here to answer the thumbnail. - Nope

[@tazanteflight8670]

Spool-less solves one of your problems.... but it only creates problems for the users.

[@jackcoats4146]

Some Elon Musk companies have purchased some companies at times and even re-spun off much of those in the past. But SpaceX is separate and can do their own thing. Not all Elon''s companies are run the same way.

[@IronMan-yg4qw]

tangled is really a bad name for a filament supplier!!

[@reesekilpatrick241]

Very true lmao

[@ddegn]

Oh what a *Tangled* web we weave when we try to print 3D.

[@slant3d]

We're ok with it

[@JakeWeihe]

@@slant3d ​​⁠I think it’s a nice little inside joke for the community. The people that get it get it. And the people that don’t… don’t.

[@IronMan-yg4qw]

@@slant3d sorry to hear that. guess you dont care if people dont trust tangled filament. you dont care about your name as much as the care you take in your filament im guessing. why not name it really crappy filament" by people who dont give a dam. ? lol
