We've seen a lot of 3D printed supports for soft tubing to make it look cleaner, but finding 3D printed hardline was a challenge. So naturally, we decided to try it ourselves. Any guesses as to how long it will last under pressure?

[@ryantakahashi9130]

There was a recent post in the r/SFFPC subreddit where a user 3D printed molds instead. Then used regular hardline tubing and used heat to fit them to the mold. Was able to achieve something super complex but without having to go resin and print the full tubes. It would work great for an SI when they have fixed configurations, they could just premake all the tube runs with ease.

[@boxhead6177]

Custom Scientific Glass Blowing has a similar process where they use regular tubing and stock glass to form custom pieces for laboratory and manufacturing use which has to be of a high standard for professional use to withstand heat and pressure tolerances fit for purpose. Or if you think of it as a prototyping route, make a model test fit... and then go completely over the top and follow an artistic route glass blower/sculpter to make the final product. The looks you could pull off like go full glass crazy straw, mad-scientist labratory glass kit, abstract art like a glass knot or klein bottle, or waterflow sculptures.

Yo! Linus, this is one of the reason why I keep watching every video release you guys have.. This surely will change a lot for Hard line tubing a computer, and yeah.. having a waterfall as part of the water cooling would be an awesome idea, checking the effectivity for thermal I'm pretty sure that will be a game changer. The concept is phenomenal and the applications if proven effective for thermal cooling, has tons of potential. ~Im watching here all the way from PH.

[@RylTheValstrax]

Resin toxicity varies dramatically depending on the formulation - and there are low toxicity formulations that are dramatically safer to use, but be aware that to achieve low toxicity tradeoffs in cost, mechanical (ex, tensile strength, glass transition temp), printable (viscosity, curing wavelengths, curing time, etc), optical (coloration, UV stabilization, opacity), or chemical (water sensitivity, ozone sensitivity, etc) must be made, so do your research on what you need to make the print actually function in its intended role and its compatibility with printers/curing lights/etc. I personally work with a very low toxicity PMMA/acrylic formulation for most of what I do personally, but while its got pretty decent mechanical and cost properties, it does make notable tradeoffs in chemical (high water sensitivity causing hydrolysis of the plastic before being fully cured), optical (low clarity on "transparent"/translucent prints), and printable (high viscosity) properties

[@tronosgamingwizard]

Well resin has been known to be water tight for years. Most of the resins for hobby use don't stand up well in water. That said there are plenty of ones that are water safe. Some of the new ones that you can thermal cure on top of the UV cure so you don't end up with the uncured internal resin issues although it is absurdly expensive and I don't think I have seen clear.

[@JohnSmithYoutube]

​​@@Konigstigerwhilst resin is very good it does have its limits. I've got both mercury amalgam and the new resin/ceramic composite fillings, and the amalgam one hasn't changed in over a decade, still even looks like shiny, freshly cut metal. The resin one is starting to degrade and the dentist says it'll probably need redoing, or require a veneer, within a few years.

You can add a bit of adjustability into the tube as well by adding extra bends that allow some 'squishiness' in certain directions, depending on the rigidity of the plastic used.

[@DarthPoyner]

The resin is usually very rigid. And putting more bends in it than necessary could lower your efficient fluid movement. You can't just heat bend it like the plastic or the glass.

4:04 means your settings are not correct, although it's less relevant because you can coat the stuff in epoxy. I printed a part in petg for a hydrolic tank and it is indeed water tight. There is a alternative where you fill the part with sand and put it in a box of packed sand then heat it enough to somewhat melt which will also seal the print.

[@the_undead]

Maybe on a high-end printer I would agree with you, but on a lot of the extremely low quality low-cost consumer models, I would not expect those prints to be water tight.

You absolutely can use FDM printing to produce watertight objects, I have done it myself using PETG and even in vase mode (where the wall is just a single continuous extrusion). You just need to have well tuned settings. PLA isn't good for watertight objects but most other materials are absolutely fine. Yes prints have layers but if your settings are right then the layers should be fused enough that there isn't any gap.

Hey LInus, you absolutely can print watertight tubing in PETG on a regular 3D printer. I've done a bunch of experiments on this because I can't use resin printers in our apartment. Over extruding the flow rate along with reducing cooling of PETG can give the right amount of 'squish' and stickyness between the layers. Yes, there's a bit of experimentation to get the profile right but on my Artillery Sidewinder X2 bed slinger I can regularly print watertight pipes and other designs. Another technique is to print in PLA and flood fill the interior in slow set low viscosity epoxy but it's a bit finnicky and messy. I've had a lot of fun doing 3D printing for PC interiors. In fact, I've currently got an air cooled modded Y40 on the Hyte subreddit. Marrying 3D printing with PC design could really be a game changer in the modded PC community.

if you clearcoat the resin print you can achieve translucency. I have lightly wetsanded some resin prints, clearcoated them and ended up with parts clear enough to easily read text through. Resin prints can continue to cure in sunlight and end up cracking so a UV clearcoat is a nice way to mitigate that

This opens a lot of opportunities! Why even have tubes, when you can have any shape? Why not build in additional little coolers at places where you have additional space? Why not build in LED and go crazy on the material, to create something really funky? You could really build individual custom PC and you could try out cooling solutions that have not been done before.

This is awesome ❤ I could use this on my water cooled rog ally project

Never left a comment before but i have to say the scale at which this can pick up is insane i could see resins coming out for tubing, tons of use in battleststions with showing off ofc, and very nice entry in water cooling so it’s not as daunting to step into

Yes! Make alex do more sketchy cooling projects, always a favorite of mine!

I've been using resin printed parts in my loop for over a year now, not a single problem so far

I use that same case for my office pc, I kind of want to do this to it now.

I hope we see this in more showcase builds
