About Slant 3D
🏭 High-Volume 3D Printing: Scalability Meets Flexibility
Slant 3D's Large-Scale 3D Print Farms utilize 1000's of FDM 3D printers working 24/7 to offer limitless scalability and unparalleled flexibility. Whether it's 100 or 100,000 parts, our system can handle it reliably, while still allowing for real-time design updates, ensuring products evolve with the times. This adaptability is key in today's fast-paced world.
🌿 Sustainable Manufacturing: Eco-Friendly Efficiency
Embrace a system that drastically reduces carbon emissions by eliminating carbon-intensive steps in the supply chain, such as global shipping and warehousing. Our approach minimizes this footprint, offering a more sustainable manufacturing option.
⚙️ Digital Warehouses: Parts On-Demand
Think of print farms as a "Digital Warehouse", meaning we can store your parts digitally on a server rather than physically on a shelf. parts are available on-demand, reducing the need for extensive physical inventory.

- But holes are very popular option. Slant 3D, 2024

[@Mithrandir69]

I read that as butt holes.

[@D4RKFiB3R]

Funny, your mum said the same thing! 🤣

[@GrayeWilliams]

I feel like I’m cheating off someone’s homework every time I watch one of these videos. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@slant3d]

Thanks for watching.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

If y'aint cheatin', y'aint tryin

[@rithwiksathyan1827]

Genuinely fantastic content. I’ve been working on similar enclosures for years at this point and none of these ideas had ever occurred to me. Combine that with the high production value, the fact that there’s ZERO bs to pad the video length, no nonsense sponsor segments for products and services I have no interest in, and no begging to like comment and subscribe at the end- whatever you're doing, I hope it brings in enough value to your business to be sustainable in the long run, glad to see someone doing right by respecting the viewers time and attention.

[@wolffpv535]

I'd pay money to have all these kinds of videos collected into a course. Impressive value per minute going on here, based on real-world experience.

[@slant3d]

Interesting idea

[@McRootbeer]

Slant academy has a nice ring to it. But it would need a lot of content. Maybe colaborate with other makers/ designers/ KZbinrs​? @@slant3d

[@tricilin]

Shhhh, let us poor plebs continue to learn too.

[@KMack948]

"lugubrious" - wow.. what a word, you've got one of those word of the day calendars don't you? :)

[@UnoriginalElephant]

I just got my first box of Tangled Filament this week. I haven't had time to print anything with it yet, but I'm really happy to finally have some affordable American made filament!

[@slant3d]

Have fun!

[@nihonrui9909]

Having a video about using selling price breakdowns/how to optimize speed once we have a winning product might be really cool. Additionally mentioning % of failures to have into consideration when checking pricing! Love the vids!!! Have you guys moved to a different noozle diameter to speed up things? I imagine going from 0.4 to 0.8 would reduce manufacturing time by a lot!

[@ROBOROBOROBOROBO]

One thing I would love this channel to do more is real world manufacturing applications of 3d printing. Like other day I saw a 3d printed die cast used in sheet metal forming

[@slant3d]

Check out our "real 3d printed products" series

[@The3DPrintingGrandad]

Awesome tips.

[@eaman11]

If you wanna do holes increase the perimeters around those and use washers.

[@JohanFasth]

And don't use countersinked screws if possible. They act like a wedge just like the clip showed.

[@danielwashburn2887]

Great stuff!

[@Enthcreations]

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.

[@slant3d]

Thanks for watching!

[@eslmatt811]

Great info. Is there a general rule about how much material you want the screw to press on? I usually aim for 2mm.

[@arbjful]

4-5 mm is my choice

[@Maisonier]

Amazing video!

[@slant3d]

Thanks!

[@user-hc9dw9gb5w]

Cool.

[@B0A2]

Excited for your videos covering material strength of different filaments! I love these videos I just don’t know how much I’d trust a PLA in a production environment around heat and vibration. Would also love a video on enclosures in regards to ABS or CF reinforced filaments. I have a P1P with some acrylic sheets enclosing it but there’s visible gaps and idk how worried I should be when printing more toxic filaments. Thanks for all the great content!

[@FlopparaptorPro]

ABS-GF from phaetus it’s really easy to print I have had excellent results on big chunky parts on an X1C and also great results on mid size parts on an unenclosed P1P I always use dimafix or magigoo when printing ABS or ASA

[@FlopparaptorPro]

To not worry about the toxic fumes use a bento box they are really cheap

[@paulgrep3193]

Wow- you really use rough textures a lot are these added in CAD?

[@fabianmerki4222]

are you using fuzzy skin? it looks like, i wonder what settings you use for that. plus printing on the angle, you tell us all the time, but i have not grasp why. are you printing two parts on one bed? or can you keep the bed heated when releasing?

[@themc69]

Wow, so many great ideas in such a short time. Great work here Thx.

[@dalewheat]

Lugubrious, dude. Totally lugubrious.

[@andreas11elias]

Great video… just a question… why printing in an angle affects cost in relation to printing it flat? That part was not clear to me. Thanks

[@KMack948]

In one of his past videos he went over that, but I believe it had to do with ease of removing the print.

[@LINDENERGENIE]

Also with producing a lot of the same, more of the copies fit on the print surface

[@lajoyalobos2009]

Ease of removal = less potential for breakage Designed for slanted orientation = less filament used for supporting material and therefore less waste

[@daliasprints9798]

Big flat surface stuck to bed means it needs labor to remove from the bed, rather than automated part removal robot.

[@slant3d]

Uniform surface finish overall and more automated production
