UPDATE: Micronics has been aquired by Formlabs and this printer's Kickstarter has been cancelled. Though we did not experience any printer issues during our first impressions and demo print, other creators have. We encourage anyone interested in this product to (as always) watch/read experiences from multiple creators to get a fuller picture of the item's quality. We should also note that we were not the only ones to have issues with cracked or broken sift bins; Micronics is reportedly going to be redesigning these bins.

I thought that sintering *doesn't* melt/liquefy the material, it just "fuses" it together? SLS stands for "selective laser sintering", but there are also SLM or "selective laser melting" printers. At least for some metals, the melting point is too high to practically and accurately manufacture something using a laser, so sintering specifically *doesn't* melt the metal. Although Wikipedia says that sintering "doesn't have to" raise the temperature to the melting point, so maybe *sometimes* sintering does mean melting, but not always?

@bastienx8 6 ай бұрын

@@SamiKankaristo Yes, SLS does not melt the powder, that's an easy mistake to make, I wouldn't roast Tynan for that. as in most SLS printers the unsintered powder is very loose, actually melting the powder can quickly lead to voids forming and ending up in print failures.

@tomaszima7940 6 ай бұрын

The main difference is temperature in the chamber and output of the laser unit. For polymer sintering the chamber is brought up right under melting temp of the material used. In metal laser sintering the chamber is heated, shielding atmosfer is provided, but all of the energy needed for fusing the material comes from the laser unit. We are talking about single kilowatt laser unit in one machine depends on size and usage designation. For the SLS we are talking about couple of watts at most. Hopefully it makes sense why they differ and why sintering and melting is used for each of them

It depends a lot on which media you're using, what PSI, etc. In theory you could buy a machine to recycle the blaster media. However the powder that sticks to the sintered print is not really usable because it's significantly more fused than leftover powder. I mean you could try but it wouldn't be as good as powder you shake away.

I had some contact with the devs about technical questions and the (non-)responses were fairly disappointing. Especially as a tech CTO myself I'd have given detailed responses to how I approach specific technical challenges. Additionally, the refusal to open source at least fw/sw for something like this is a really bad sign. Stuff *will* break and there's no guarantee a startup will remain in business. With OSS FW/SW/(ideally HW), I can debug and fix issues myself. For ref, the questions were stuff like "how do you handle chamber heating uniformity and waste heat?" and the answer was one word "engineering." or "is an inert atmosphere required? if no, how do you handle oxidation" and they replied "we didn't encounter any issues". Chamber heat uniformity is a huge problem in industrial SLS, to the point that printers have thermal imaging cameras built in. An answer like "engineering" does not built trust in a printer like this. Industrial SLS requires nitrogen to get proper material properties and keep the refresh rate low, and even then they're 30-50% depending on vendor. Micronics claims 10%. This all stinks like under-engineered vaporware where you'll end up sitting on a dud. Oh, and even non-technically.

You usually don't even have to level it, just check if the spool isn't empty and hit print.
