Making PRUSAS in AMERICA!!! - Printed Solid Tour 2024

[@willofthemaker]

I must say the fact that Prusa Research USA spells PRUSA is pretty lucky

[@3DMusketeers]

HA YES!! I doubt any of that was planned!

[@peteblazar5515]

And marks above letters in name of Josef Průša are roll of filament and nozzle. ;-)

[@eugene3d875]

awesome to see the production line upgrades. i love your Jesse Petg and find it very accurate and consistent with the slicer profile!

[@filanfyretracker]

Don't forget if you hate sales tax and live near Delaware I believe you can shop in person and Delaware has no sales taxes. After all the Qidi stuff, its good to see one consumer printer company going down UL cert pathways.

[@FluffyCloudMoonneeyyy]

It’s me the kid with the chocolate lab that was at the house that got flooded from possibly ripa I just looked at your channel

[@3DMusketeers]

hey man!! RIPA called the cops on me, fun times...

[@StephenZura]

Woo! Printed Solid! Dave and the rest of the guys are great!

[@gregorypfeifer9117]

those continuous mixers are AMAZING. Having seen these in injection molding applications (which is pretty much the extruder you see but with a press attached) they make color corrections and even regrind consistency, if applicable, so nice. Such a massive upgrade for PS!

[@therick0996]

Love the multiboard on Matt's wall on the extrusion line 😂

[@3DMusketeers]

I am glad I am not the only one that loves this!

[@RandomAudioGuys]

I was impressed with their prices to be made in the USA. I book marked them.

[@awilliams1701]

If spools are in short supply, maybe they could consider let us sending them spools. They could include return labels for them or something. I probably have 8 spools right now that haven't made it into the recycling bin yet. I have no idea if they actually get recycled or not.

[@taucetijump]

I see so much petg being used for tools and tool box accessories. Match a color to Milwaukee red but call it "Tool Red" match DeWalt and call it "Tool Yellow". Please!

[@3DMusketeers]

that one aint up to me lol, but I will pass it along

[@martinperezgarcia]

Tool Mint Green for Ryobi 😂 and Tool Green for Makita

[@Sembazuru]

It's hard to get here in the states, but I found a long time ago that Colorfabb's PLA/PHA Signal Yellow is almost dead-on DeWalt yellow.

[@80sALT]

A clear emerald would be amazing!

[@thehappyextruder7178]

Truly impressed with this Tour awesome work Grant !!!

[@willofthemaker]

They have had a very busy year for sure🎉congrats PS teams 🎉

[@MrKornnugget]

I would love a deep but glittery Passion Purple color or a Prince (aka the artist formerly known as) Purple.

[@justinchamberlin4195]

The Misty Green Elixir looks great, but how about resurrecting the Emerald City color?

[@swiftblade13s]

I'd love to see a nice saturated bright teal/sea green colored elixir

[@DiomedesDominguez]

the plastic spools are smaller or PrintedSolid keep using those big ones?

[@awilliams1701]

I think they need more prusament lines. I would love to get a spool of PCCF for a rainy day and I used to buy my prusament from PS, but they are out of stock on so much of it that I feel like prusament isn't an option at the moment. I was hesitant about jessie before because in my mmu2 it failed more often than other filaments. However, I just mixed my jessie orange with petg in the mmu3 and holy crap not only did it work, the wipe tower is CLEAN as hell. When I mixed pla and petg before the wipe tower was a distaster. I'm actually convinced that PETG supports are now an option for me. This is something I discovered during the mk4s upgrade. As I didn't have any orange PETG for the LCD cover.

[@3DMusketeers]

starting with petg and pla right now, and they will go from there, it is a slow ramp up.

[@awilliams1701]

@@3DMusketeers I think it's interesting how prusa is like we've doubled our lines. And they are out of stock on a lot of things even in their own store. Shows you how popular prusament is.

[@awilliams1701]

I'm curious to know if nightshade elixir compares to CC3D sapphire blue silk. It looks like it might be a tad dark. I've been printing for 2.5 years now. CC3D sapphire blue was my favorite filament before. It's STILL my favorite color now. I wanted something that looked like cobalt and I found it!! It's just absolutely gorgeous. My top 3 filaments by use case besides the sapphire blue (and the exact shade of these 3 doesn't matter to me too much) are silver silk, white silk, and black silk. I like to do a lot of metalic looking objects and those colors get used the most. I try to make sure that saphire blue gets in all my prints even if they aren't necessarily supposed to be blue. I have my enterprise model which is mostly white silk, but holy crap the saphire pops on it. So yeah.......I wouldn't mind switching to elixor from CC3D, but to get me 100% on board they would have to have sapphire blue that closely matches the CC3D version. It's like the perfect shade for what I was looking for (which ironically 2.5 years later I haven't printed yet).

[@awilliams1701]

well that answers the question of "did they fully upgrade the jessie lines to be prusa lines as well?" I guess not.

[@3DMusketeers]

apparently soon

[@sappercap]

Excellent video! I really need to order some PETG…

[@TGCustomRc]

Seafoam green would be a neat color!

[@3DMusketeers]

ooooohhhhhhhhhh

[@awilliams1701]

not that I need another printer, but will they include harribos in the USA printers? And assuming yes, are we talking praguian harribos or USAian harribos? lol

[@3DMusketeers]

I believe so! And I am not sure if they are EU or USA haribo, that is an important question!

[@MAYERMAKES]

You may have encountered a few boxes of a particular resin there ;-)

[@3DMusketeers]

I did not see it, but also was not looking for it! Super cool!

[@7897sebas]

We need some Jessie ABS to get that PS goodness all up on the DIY printer projects

[@willofthemaker]

I'd love to get ABS from them, especially if they can maintain the $20/kg price. I currently get mine from push plastic, als made in USA. Great stuff. Been buying from them for years but 50% more moneys. Printed solid and push plastic are where I get all my filament from

[@kimmotoivanen]

"We can fix your printer" _pans over big rubber mallet_ 😉

[@3DMusketeers]

sometimes percussive maintenance is needed

[@jessie38supercharged]

Then why are you charging the customs fees? If its made in america, why does it cost more than ordering from overseas and VAT and whatnot?

[@3DMusketeers]

It's just getting started for prusament. I don't control pricing...

[@hunt0583]

I would love some more Blue Moon (Royal Blue) elixir

[@hunt0583]

are they still using cardboard spools?

[@3DMusketeers]

not that I am aware of but it varies based on supply. They are having issues getting reliable supply of cardboard spools in the USA

[@Sembazuru]

@@3DMusketeers We as a community need to convince them to put a label on all their spools that has the empty-spool tare weight. Make it part of the process of prepping the spools for the machine.

[@stephenthomas2311]

"Bright Chrome Silver" would be a great color. Just sayin'.

[@3DMusketeers]

SILVER FOX!!! ;)

[@andreas.grundler]

Did you try out how many spools of filament you can fit into your car when you visited Printed Solid? 😉

[@3DMusketeers]

More than Southwest would let me take home lolol. That was a rental, heck it'll carry more than my car will!

[@3DMusketeers]

[@Chad.The.Flornadian]

The dangers of a hot mic LOL

[@3DMusketeers]

you mean THE BENEFITS!!

[@TheNewBloodDan]

Hopefully this brings costs down.

[@3DMusketeers]

Minimally shipping cost I am hoping. Dont mind a premium for a premium product, but MAN shipping of Prusament kills ya.

[@ognightrider8730]

I hope that filament is cheaper! It's great stuff but super expensive
