You won't believe what I 3D Printed - Giant 3D Printer build Pt.2

[@marsgizmo]

I'm starting to be scared of your next 3D Printers 😄 Congrats, this one is impressive! 😎

[@MetaJamm]

next be like a giant skibidi toilet😁

[@JavierCamacho]

I truly believe youtube's 3d printing community doesn't give you enough recognition!!! This is so inspiring and incredible!!! God Bless Ivan!!! You are a role model to follow!!!

[@BLBlackDragon]

That is impressive. Dealing with the problems of larger prints is something we don't get to hear about much, so this is appreciated. And now we have two Ivan's to deal with. Oy.

[@an3dp]

I cannot express how easy he makes building a 3D printer from scratch look.

[@DumahBrazorf]

Ivan I think you're a bit confused about reproduction.

[@BrainrotterL]

Don’t think he’s ever seen any birds or bees

[@BrainrotterL]

Although people are basically 3d printers

[@mexicanshrek2811]

Crazy statement 😭😭😭

[@BrainrotterL]

@@mexicanshrek2811 Am I Wrong?

[@AndersHaalandverby]

Trust me, the other method isnt much easier.

[@azyfloof]

I can't believe you did it, that's amazing! You must be beside yourself 😁😁😁

[@JulenAramburu]

Brilliant!! Next step? Full home size printer? Congrats for your job!

[@kahllackey5619]

GREAT JOB IVAN!!!! The fact that you built a 2 meter tall 3d printer AND your first print was at that scale and was a success.....I'm in awe!!! 😀😀

[@beangames6679]

Omg man, for someone that has been 3d printer for 3+ years now and run a business of it. Stuff like this still gets me going. Awesome video!!!! I wish I had the knowledge and time to do something like this. God I'm jealous 😂

[@UncleJessy]

You continue to be one of the most creative amazing makers on here! So dang amazing!

[@BenjaminAster]

I love how you can now just casually build giant 3D printers as if they were some small little side projects

[@bernatsempere]

Hey Ivan, for the bed heater you could wrap the cord inside-out (sort of concentric) to only heat the area below the print. Most probably you already considered this option.

[@hanswurstusbrachialus5213]

As the cord is not very long, he would also need to get the cable from the mid one across or aside the others which doesnt comply well with his current design.

[@chrispitra8535]

Just purchased this and started 3D printing the parts - can't wait to see it come together ! amazing work. And to everyone going on about the 4mm layer height - it's really 0.4mm layer height - at end of video shows 4375 layers - at 0.4mm a layer that equals 1750mm - 1750mm to feet is 5'7" which i'm assuming is his actual height - if it was 4mm layers at 4375 layers the thing would be like 17 meters+ tall

[@elucker]

What is the total cost on your bill of materials?

[@ethanmiller5487]

Your work is amazing and I love the machine!!! Im a Laboratory Machinist and have a few small suggestions. When milling deep pockets, it's sometimes wiser to use a few tools of increasing lengths to lessen chatter. You can buy endmills with shanks smaller than the cutting edge to eliminate rubbing. Endmills with long shanks and a small cutting areas are also better at deep pockets because they lower cutting forces. Profile ramps are also useful for a finish pass. Keep up the fantastic work!!

[@philipershler420]

Your printed parts that you used in all phases of construction are very elegant. Well done!

[@vbart1776]

Ivan a printer this size you should have the bed fixed at the bottom. That way you can take a of weight when you print it’s much better to have the printhead raise and lower. Just think that of the stretch on your belts as you put 15 or 20 kg of material.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

With 20kg the elongation is 4mm at maximum Z height and it is partially compensated in the steps/mm configuration.

[@mirekstanek]

I just love your work so much...! Whenever I watch your videos, I feel like a complete wreck who can't do anything, but on the other hand, I always feel inspired to do something. Anything! Thank you for what you do and for inspiring me for so long.

[@sgsax]

This is really the only use case for building a 2m tall printer. 😁 Mad genious at work here. And sorry, I have no strong opinions about V wheels. You're going to need a bigger shop to house your giant printers, also stock up on red Polymaker PLA. Super fun project! Thanks for sharing!

[@TaigiTWeseDiplomat--Formosan]

Maybe print a plane or car in one piece?

[@RenatAbaidulin]

"I Can Fix EveryThing!" for the ages!) You are the best 3DIY blogger in KZbin)

[@DanteYewToob]

You can make custom life size army men now! That’s what the print reminded me of… You should scan yourself with some toy guns in fun poses and print them as life size toys in classic army man green! That would be so cool and go with your tank whenever you’re done with it.

[@r3dp9]

The hidden costs of 3d printing: Printing failures, prototyping, babysitting the print. Even with those caveats, this is amazing technology that we are barely beginning to utilize. Thanks for being a pioneer for the common folk!

[@ManuaLiberty]

You sir are a madman but I’m 100% here for it. I’m dually impressed with the amount of layer shifting for this high of a machine!

[@hopelessnerd6677]

A most amazing build. Your excellent video editing and proper use of background music is also a plus. It's only a matter of time before your 3d printed army of human sized killer robots is completed.

[@sonixthatsme]

I have 2 words, freaking awesome!

[@lock3ddown883]

I absolutely love the nano polymer. It's the only thing I've used now for nearly 2 years.i print everything directly on glass (flipped ender 3 v2 bed) I print pla,abs,pa6-cf,pc, pc/abs blends and much more and it works amazing for every single one. Secret trick is it uses isopropyl alcohol. So after a few prints I pour a small amount of alcohol on thr bed and use the brush to level out the polymer. When I bought my 2nd bottle I poured half of it into the old bottle and topped them off with 99% alcohol. One bottle lasted over a year. Love your videos!! Crazy builds and impressive engineering. Please keep it up!

[@MrBlakBunny]

with 2 of you, you can make twice as many videos!

[@marioacjr]

And twice bigger too!

[@lucaribeiro6123]

Ivan...What to say? You are an absolute LEGEND! Putting together such a MASSIVE FDM set up like this and being able to print continuously like that with only that much Z Wobble? WOW! The German BIG REP guys should take notes!!! Well done bro! Keep it up :)

[@SocialPrime]

This is actually incredible.

[@pabloerosi]

Excelente Iván! Felicitaciones, un placer verte trabajar y crear estos productos únicos y compartirlos con la comunidad maker.

[@phizicks]

curious to see the 3d map of the bed leveling with such a big bed, weight and all.

[@adrianopoier1344]

Nice! If you had a costumer reception room you could leave this on the entrance with a sign "discuss discounts and issues here"

[@juliy9898]

I don't know if I'm missing something and you've done this already, but I think it would be great if you made a course or a video series where you show how you designed all of the 3d printed parts. I've recently started using onshape and it's great, but I never know how to create more complex and complicated shapes like you did in this video.

[@Advil1024]

I knew as soon as I saw you standing inside the frame of the new printer that you were going to do this! That's hilarious and amazing. Now you have come full circle and become the Benchy for your giant FDM printer.

[@dragonfire2371]

Grande Iván! Que proyecto más épico!!!!

[@NakedSageAstrology]

You are absolutely inspirational! I bow to your grace.

[@aL3891_]

It would have been funny to print a regular benchy on that thing;) awesome project

[@botherednickel5930]

I don't know if you saw my comment or not on your last video but I wanted you to do this and I am so hyped you ended up doing it anyways!

[@quakxy_dukx]

I think I saw that

[@MacMeaties]

If you ever find the flow rate on the rapido a bit lacking give the VZbot/Mellow Goliath hotend a go. Those things have been tested at over 100mm3/s which is comparable to if not exceeding the flow rate on a Mosquito Magnum+ at a lower price point and weight.

[@matslindskog2894]

You seem to have a amazing positive personality. Nice work dude.

[@raulgbcr]

What if you make a super tiny 3d printer next? Would be a good contrast. Keep it up!

[@aoneblood]

This was absolutely hands down the most awesome thing I seen in awhile I'd love to see a castle built lol. Now I want one of those

[@canadian_american84]

2 drops of water is what we say in french as well when we want to say something is exactly the same! Firt time I hear it said in English!!! Good job, by the way!

[@CRZYCYBR]

This is bad ass. Incredible build man. Definitely something to be proud of.

[@beaugalbraith3242]

How were you able to fix it midprint? Sounds like a good video topic.

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

Ivan is the Kingmaker of the 3D printing world and pushes the boundaries every day ! bloody brilliant and "Go make something " 😀 instead of reading this

[@SteveBakerIsHere]

I have three FDM printers and one Resin printer working simultaneously on parts for my Model Railroad...I think that counts! :-)

[@communitycollegegenius9684]

I am WAITING for the full size replica of the Statue of Liberty, on your next Giant 3D Printer.

[@wyrmridr]

I don't think anyone else on the interwebs takes "Go Big or Go Home" anywhere *near* your level! Awesome build!

[@davk]

Wax figure museums have competition now. GJ !

[@paradisestrong7711]

I guess the next challenge is to build a 3d printer big enough to print a boat benchy big enough to use as a real boat?

[@garymendoza494]

This guy's content is addicting I wish you had like a series on doing just printers and actually modifying them to the point of immunity to failure, fast prints etc.

[@erick2will]

WOW!!! 😮 Outstanding! You're an inspiration for us Ivan! 👏👏👏👍

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

Never hammer gears onto motor shafts. Even if you don’t break the gears, you damage the bearings. If your gears are too tight, get a welding rod oven (relatively cheap) to heat the gears, and a styrofoam cup filled with dry ice pellets to cool the shaft. Both can be purchased at a welding shop. Heat the gear, cool the shaft, slide the gear on. If it still doesn’t fit, your gear bore is too small. To remove the gear, heat the outside of the gear with a butane torch while maintaining pressure with a gear puller. Do not overheat the gear. If it changes color you have too much heat.

[@scottneal2738]

I would definitely love to build my own printer of that's size. The fact you printed to the max per say. Definitely shows areas of needing work to fix versus smaller prints that might not provide insight to issues to it all. Love it and would like the blueprint of the build if you don't mind.

[@CameronPenner]

Who needs calibration cubes when you have calibration clones?

[@notjannet]

That is an epic first print. Great work.

[@Allahuma.sali.ala.muhammad.]

The 3d printers keep getting bigger and bigger... also i wonder if you can make a big 3d resin printer

[@AleksandrMotsjonov]

thank you so much for sharing all the mistakes. Don't know if all of them get to the final cut, but I am very glad you include them!!!!

[@TheKnexMaker]

have you tried the goliath hotend, or even making your own super long heat zone hot end to print faster

[@AdamsWorlds]

Most satisfying videos on youtube man this is smooth editing and going its mind blowing and really tickles that efficiency itch i cant find a fault.

[@206kishi]

I also used floor heating wire for bed heaters when I built my 1m square 3D printer.

[@MilanGajicBuva]

He's done it again ❤ awesome Can't wait for a record breaking print in place machine to come out of this

[@aserta]

You could just do the heating element basics (the wire) and then pour a high temp rubber on top and spread it with a trowel. Then, the sky is the limit. You could make any size you want, and perform at any temp you want. To secure the wires down before pouring, a single drop of superglue and activating agent should suffice.

[@josecarloscarrion3652]

Eres un fenómeno. No me cansaré de decirlo. Gracias Iván por todos los aportes que haces. Impresionante trabajo el que hay detrás de cada vídeo. Saludos

[@3D_Printing]

4.5 days is quick, it takes 9 months to 3D print a real person :) plus 25 to 35 years to grow to this size

[@J87NL]

Looks like the right printer for a print-in-place go cart to me 🤩

[@sokol]

Everyone needs one of these.

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

❤ Adaption, Innovation, Experimentation, Invention. Awesome dude.😊

[@reynolds_live6949]

Watching his show all this time I am curious how much of that red filament he has and what brand it is.

[@mahmga1]

Always fantastic - Esp seeing & hearing the mistakes. I'd actually like a separate video that dives into all of those more.

[@madmel8t6]

Next, I’d like to see you build a model of the “Iron Giant” in that size.

[@phantomg8313]

I don't know if this could be implemented the way I'm thinking, but instead of having one thermistor for the bed, would it be possible to mount a thermal camera in one of the corners to better monitor each individual heated wire to correct for discrepancies between the different heated wires, or even just a thermistor on the actual hotend that could go around while the bed is heating up to probe the temp at different spots to assure even heating, I really want to build a large scale 3d printer and have been working on some of my own designs and this has been an idea I've really wanted to try and one that I think could work really well in your case to assure perfect heating for all those SPACERRRRRRRS!!!!!! I LOVE watching your videos, thank you for making me smile more!!

[@comradejames7813]

Can you print a benchy to ur printers max size?

[@joshuameldru4004]

Great job and wow what a huge print! Thanks for sharing

[@fillman86]

man I want one of these for making car panels!!

[@yeetyeetlson5476]

exactly what im aiming for

[@StroKing]

That is prob THE most awesome thing i have ever seen !!!!!

[@OrangeOrangesMax]

This man is amazing

[@rmfberry261]

you are a mad lad. full send on the test print. lol no supports was impressive

[@_SamDoesStuff_]

It would've been funny to use the enormous machine to make a tiny benchy

[@tonymitmakaroni527]

It’s funny to think about it you can print nearly every furniture in my room 😂😂

[@manuelneves248]

Yvan votre imprimante géante est une extraordinaire réalisation qui mérite respect et admiration. J'ai regardé les deux vidéos et lu la plupart des commentaires dont certains n'honorent pas ceux qui les ont écrit. Pour moi vous êtes un génie et méritez le respect. Merci d'avoir partagé votre savoir faire et continuez de perfectionner votre machine, car je la trouve très inspirante. Um muito obrigado de França.

[@MrKubaxius]

Because of these bulky, orange PLA braces it looks like something from satisfactory, lol. Awesome job!

[@MrKiaserS]

for future an idea for heating element could be like what the positron did, the heat elements they use for car windows apparently they work very well for custom applications

Emily The Engineer said that was the dream project, a life-sized benchy that could actually float

[@zerofox3d]

Amazing. Astounding work. I cannot wait for the Creality CR10000 Ivan Ultra Max!

[@DattasMoonchaser]

The metal shavings around the extruder is unfortunately a known problem with the Apus extruder. The gears they ship with are made with material that wears extremely quickly. I've had 3 fail on me this way eventually the teeth wear away completely. I'd recommend either machining something harder if you have the tools or switching the Apus out sooner rather than later. It is a shame though, Apus seems well thought out and well put together apart from the gear problem. Maybe one day Phaetus will fix the issue

[@dguy-xk4fc]

Just four days? First print no fail? Very impressive.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

I know, right?

[@MrMwenesi]

Amazing work Ivan.

[@Qpwrtm]

Can’t imagine how much work you put into this and how easy it looks on the video

[@PunakiviAddikti]

Make more copies of yourself in jade, marble and gold filament and start gifting yourself to your friends and family at Christmas.

[@Ernzt8]

Vacuuming the heatbed... now that is a new one. Great build!

[@BuggsK100RS]

I think that Print is a bit much just for a Glasses holder!🤣

[@TheNextDecade]

I talked about you at LOT at OpenSauce Live last weekend, Pretty sure I got you at least one new subscriber! Loving your build videos, I Think im gonna try to take a crack at this printer sometime next year. Our Lease is almost over and we need a bigger space, this could be my bigger reason! Keep it up Ivan!!!

[@airevolution926]

12:39 If you have OCD you will spot this Immediately. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the two-story modern house printer in 2084!

[@mitchib1440]

Well, more just general perfectionism. But yeah. OCD is more about intrusive/repetitive thoughts.

[@AndrewAHayes]

I have 3X Ender 5 Plus machines that I have modded for production printing and the V wheel that hits the limit switch always eventually gets damaged, I used to just replcae the wheel but got sick of the wasted prints so I slowed down the motion of the homing which solved the issue but now I want linear rails on them

[@sethnowak9823]

Absolute insanity! Such an amazing build. You make it look so easy
