MatterHackers Minute // 3D Printed Ghostbusters Movie Props

[@MakeSomething]

That was fun! I'm drawn to people who are deeply into a thing like Ghostbusters!

[@MatterHackers]

Thanks! We are too!

@@MatterHackers Which models were used for the proton pack on Thingiverse? :S

[@AstanaxKnight]

The idea of recovering quickly through 3D printing is what drew my wife to these printers. She loves all those ceramic statues in those New Age stores, but knows the cost is too much if our 6 and 4 year old breaks one. At least with a similarly made plastic filament one, if it breaks, it is just pennies to replace.

i really want to make the dancing toaster from ghostbusters

[@Captain_Brown_Beard]

The pack needs a good primer coat to smooth our those print lines

[@waynemac2417]

Use Rhino liner paint, it will hide the print lines and add strength to the pack

Out of curiosity. How does Madesolid's PET+ compare to your PETG pro series. I have never used your PETG but I've used many other brands of PETG and I have lots of experience with Madesolid's PET+. Your website boasts its similarities to PET+ but from experience I have noticed many differences. For example PETG has no problem being printed at 60mm/s, where PET+ will barley crack 40 if that. PET+ has a fantastic end result aside from the stringing, and PETG is meh. Maybe make an in depth video comparing all of the copolyester's you sell?

[@MatterHackers]

Luke, thanks for your question! Our pros here use PETG at about 45mm/s for the best quality, as well as 60 C bed temps (give or take a couple degrees) and around 250 C for the extruder. As for comparing our filament with other companies, it really depends on the printer set up you currently have. While our setting work amazing for our rigs, they may work differently for you. We would suggest trying our MH Build PETG yourself and see what results you get. And thank you for the video tutorial idea - we are always looking for more ideas!

@@MatterHackers what 3D printer are you using and is there a 3D printer that can print the proton shell in one piece?

[@salvatoremaniscalco]

How can i got one? Do you have some of this for sell?

[@christopherniceley8848]

Do you make these for commission, do you have a site?
