As badly as I love the idea of a larger printer- I also realize that it scales not just size, but time. Any serious print on a huge printer like that would take weeks to finish- which is weeks of time to screw up. I can't even imagine having a print fail at 16 days in with 30% left to go.

[@shinobi6622]

They use far larger nozzles, as in multi mm sizes. It wouldn't be even remotely feasible otherwise.

[@drawmaster77]

@Russell White I can't wait until the tech gets to the point where we 'don't' have to wait multiple days. Until then I am hesitant to spend money on large printers. I am more into functional prints, so it's usually easier/faster to large part using different methods at the moment..

Just dabbled with this filament. I really like it so far, but have had some warping issues. Been tweaking settings to get it just right though. Printed with red, blue, and yellow so far. Edit: I really love and support them using cardboard spools. Huge deal for me and should become standard. Love being able to recycle these spools.

Bang! So cool. Again, keeping with the trend of these companies having open materials support is fantastic. I can only imagine some of the materials that will come in the next decade (is that too long?) and be "the printer companies works on a better printers" while "the material companies work on better materials" instead of trying to do two hard problems at once. Raj and LuxCreo is getting a step up. I wonder if there was anything special about the resin printer they made.

The thing that has impressed me the most is the crazy drop in price for these large industrial machines, yes thry are still expensive but only 5 years ago you would expect to pay 3 or 4 times what they cost now for the same capabilities and probably less accuracy to boot. The industry is booming and it's so good to see Now I can't wait for a company to produce a viable home based and affordable SLS platform with built in cleaning station, now that would be something Love the vids, thank you for making them

Hi Joel, I'm a student at UW Seattle and I just found out that there's a 3d printing club. Waiting to attend an info session but odds are I'm going to join since I love 3d printing. I started printing last December and I've loved it ever since. I'm very excited to meet more people interested in 3d printing and to see the 1 meter by 1 meter (i dont know the height it goes to) 3d printer that they built themselves and to hopefully get to see the titanium 3d printer that UW has that the club is trying to convince the professor to let use

Really great to see what is happening in the future of 3D printing and not another Chinese bed slinger knock off. but real innovation.

[@ProjectAnubisUSA]

More small machines means you can produce the same number of parts in the same time as 1 part. You also can still have parts if one print or printer goes down. There are trade-offs

[@3DPrintingNerd]

EXACTLY. One large machine versus many smaller machines. Each has their pros and cons.

[@ProjectAnubisUSA]

@@3DPrintingNerd I was commenting on rapid’s reply about manufacturing many parts on 1 bed for a week as if it was a good thing. The odds for a huge print isn’t a typical thing and you can always print sections to get the part made in a fraction of the time and connect them if your rapid prototyping for concept anyway. The one time you need a single print that big you might be better off outsourcing or be glad you have that printer. I like large printers like the cr10s5 for those once in a blue moon projects but I can’t afford that one for 60k. 😆

At last! A shoe that fit's the foot, instead of the foot having to fit the shoe! (No adding extra socks or pads inside the shoe.)

[@davidgoff5883]

I still have a quote and prices from Big Rep - kinda what got me into building my own

[@luke_fabis]

If you’re going to try for a scale like that, you’d be better off with a different technology, like SLS or HSS, or maybe even polymer binder jetting like VoxelJet does. With FDM, you’ll either need a nozzle big enough for a K’nex rod to fit through, or a full sized build would take so long that my beard would turn gray and my scalp would go bald. Edit: Fixed typos.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

You're right in some cases, but there is a demand for large scale FFF machines, so there must be cases where these are the preferred manufacturing method, right?

[@luke_fabis]

@@3DPrintingNerd What are they, though?

[@Bigrep3D]

@@luke_fabis In general FDM is still cheaper than SLS. But mostly handling of materials and post processing are a lot easier and don't require a full workshop to handle powder and all that. Printing time requires to find a balance between higher resolution and speed.

oh hi joel

[@m97120]

TBF, planting trees doesn't make the material itself environmentally friendly. Everyone can plant trees and claim that their product is now environmentally friendly. It's a big problem with PLA. It's marketed as biodegradable but there are barely any facilities that actually compost it. And recycling plants aren't interested in it. In the end it'll end up in a landfill, hopefully incinerated before. If it lands in the ocean it'll stick around just as long as other plastics. I d say the main advantage of PLA is that it's not made from dinosaur juice. I dig the cardboard spool. This should be standard.

[@superdupergrover9857]
