Thanks a lot for the overwhelming positivity on this video! Especially after all this work and not posting videos, I couldn't have wished for more! I also saw while reading through the comments that the intention behind this TIME-system could've been explained better so I made this news article on my new website which explains a bit more: properprinting.pro/news/the-story-behind-the-time-system/ Edit: As several people mentioned 6-axis can be seen as deceptive. I find it very hard to come up with a clickable title that covers a subject as specific as this and I thought that I was technically correct. I've had several videos flop because of a bad title/thumbnail and that's a shame. Sorry to everyone who felt baited.

Patents cost a lot of money, and are nearly impossible for private inventors to first declare, then defend. It only makes sense if you plan on capitalizing on the investment of the patent. He's got zero chance of impeding use of this from China. As a private inventor, your best bet would likely be to partner with a company, in this case say Prusa, and work with them to develop the tech with a written agreement in place. They can handle the patent (if inclined, but, it's Prusa). Otherwise, they might do the honorable thing and pay you for the use of the tech, or as a design contractor. However, a patent only works if you've not publicly declared the product, which a KZbin video most definitely does. At this point it's public domain. Jon's done some amazing work, and the recognition is there. And hopefully a notable amount of view revenue. ;)

[@dwuk99]

Interesting article - I think the independent parallel printing is probably more of a benefit than you mention - especially if you could add more gantries. For a really large print - you could have the print heads coordinate with each other to half the print time - even for single material. Would of course require slicer enhancements of gcode post processing to separate the prints out into two parts, and to ensure that the heads don't bump into each other. Plus even when not doing a single print - It would be like having two printers - rather than an IDEX which can only really do one print at a time. I recently bought a 2nd identical printer as I was doing a lot of multi part prints - so thought I could double my throughput - at it has worked out surprisingly useful - as even when I am doing long prints on one of the printers I often find I end up using the other printer for something else at the same time.

I've long wanted a long Y axis on my E3 - no idea why people want to print Up (through weak layers) when we all need Long items with polymer alignment so that long bed is a dream to see.

I print tons of stuff that is suited to a long, narrow, bed. Getting two extruders with two axes of motion working on each layer seems like a dream come true. One of the extruders starts in the center and works it's way to it's end while the other extruder starts at it's end and works it's way to the middle. Fantastic. 👍 Or, how about a 0.8 nozzle and a 0.4 nozzle. Fast printing with all the detail of a fine nozzle for perimeters (IDEX could do this also). So many possibilities.

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

I couldn't understand the value difference with an IDEX. with an IDEX you can make multimaterial prints, and it both cases it needs to stop one extruder, move the other extruder in position and then lay the layer and repeat, except that an IDEX sounds a lot faster as does not have to move a whole additional gantry out of the work piece. this could work if the piece would also move in x-axis as a conveyor belt, but I'm not sure if you can make a conveyor belt faster than a modern y-axis movement in a IDEX machine. this looks like 2 totally independent printers. the only exception would be if you could machine the part in one gantry (as it would required another gantry designed with more rigidity in mind)

[@robertheinrich2994]

I don't see a real usecase either. especially since IDEX is still a tried and tested option. however, the two portals could feature an IDEX each. or one IDEX and a totally different tool, for example to put inserts in special places during printing. depending on how the portals move, there could be more than 2 portals. but that might be feature creep.

[@jksjrgfpsjgr]

the great potential it the ability to prime one extruder while the other is printing, which doesnt work with idex, while one is prining, the other starts to ooze.

[@monev44]

When the second head is working the first head can go to a different part of the bed and start a different part. Belt integration would not be replacing a axis' movement. But move the part from one side of the machine to the other (and ultimately auto eject) so the printer can keep printing new parts with the first gantry while the second is printing on top of the previous part. In theory you could make this meters long and have a whole complicated production line of printers working on very complicated multi material parts.

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

@@jksjrgfpsjgr so, the great potential is beatable with a slightly longer y-axis with a place with a bronze brush to clean the nozzle. or retract the thing. or lower temperature through software. or a any combination of a trivial matter of adding a small and faster cycle through every layer. that is not "great potential" at all if comes at a cost of essentially another complete printer.

Fantastic build! Slicing will certainly be an intriguing challenge for as flexible as this could be. Cool stuff!

[@properprinting]

Thanks! That'll be challenging indeed!

Как я обожаю таких увлечённых людей. Идея принтера очень интересная. Реализация на высшем уровне. Аккуратность, педантичность.....класс одним словом.

This is crazy!! Amazing effort trying to bring such a complex printer to life 🎉

[@nunskybuilds5704]

Don't worry about putting out many videos. I think your videos are of high quality and I love that you keep pushing the boundaries of 3D printing with these crazy concepts. Keep at it! Shout out from another dutchy 🇳🇱

Coolest thing I have seen in the 3d printing world in a long time, looking forward to the progression of this project!

[@artisans8521]

Belt printing is what my hometown is famous for. Know the dude who came up with the ID back in the day. But this kit is also not half bad. It's a great piece of lateral thinking.

[@nothing.much.office]

that is by far one of the coolest thing i have seen on 3D prining in years! amazing, can't wait to see more. good luck !

[@xdevs23]

I am SO impressed and amazed. You motivate me so much! Keep up that amazing work!

[@eraldylli]

Wonderful job, thanks for all you do. You are a treasure to this community.

[@captwhiskey]

Dit is echt zo gaaf om te zien! Respect! Heel benieuwd wat je er nog meer van kan maken! Hyped voor part 2!

[@Summer_Lilac]

You got your minimal viable product. A very good start and as you said the hardest part. Time to integrate and add all the creature comforts we all know. This is amazing.

[@NightVisionOfficial]

Let aside the double printer, I just LOVE the way you did the beams and the belts. I can imagine a full aluminium one with just one extruder.

[@thewilltomake5777]

Not sure if you’re aware, but RepRap firmware actually has support for running two motion systems (asynchronously) simultaneously. You could actually have both heads printing completely different objects with only one controller, which is very cool. Could even have both nozzles simultaneously working in different areas of a large print (though I think that would require a custom slicing software)

[@Cody_Spaghetti]

The excitement of your face when you watch what you created is amazing, beautiful job dude!!!!

[@properprinting]

Thanks!

[@jamiemacdonald436]

I can only imagine what you could do with a proper mill and lathe. Really cool project!

[@ProjektBurn]

I have no idea what half of what you said means, but I'll be damned if this wasn't one of the coolest videos I've seen this year! It definitely inspired me to get off my butt and learn the lingo. You kick ass!

[@Deagorsarrh]

Awesome Project! Can't wait to see the improved version with both portals active!

[@tempeczek]

It's awesome to see you've improved and are still using the frame system from way back. The whole TIME system looks awesome (even though I don't really like a bed that's not square for some reason ;) ). Good luck reaching your goals for this project.

[@timcorso6337]

Great project! It's amazing what the old grey matter can do in the right cranium. The videography and narration are also top notch.

[@properprinting]

Thank you!

[@maxxflyer]

impressive all together! It will need a serie of reiterations to become an easy build. great work
