3D Printer: Most unbelievable gizmo ever

[donalds]

That was cool, I don't know how the building was made but it is cool to see it made. And the others are cool too. Thanks for posting those because they were interesting.

Here is something I saw just today and it is cool. D.J.

Thanks for posting that video. I usually use a plain grid for the infill in 10 to 25% unless I want a tougher part. I use solid 100% infill for those things but they take a long time to print, and use a lot of filament. The type of filament also makes a difference. PLA is stiff compared to nylon which is more flexible. PLA will not take severe abuse while nylon could be bent without cracking. PLA is limited to low temperature use (except for high temperature PLA). Nylon, PETG, and ABS could be used in places where the temperature is higher. Everything has its use so no plastic is universal.

Yea I thought you would like the video, I don't know exactly how he did it but he does explain in the video. He does a lot of 3-D printer and print testing. The only thing that runs me off with Nylon though is it's tendency to absorb water quickly and if left long enough it will mess up prints. But I like how PETG is easy to print when set up correctly too.

I store nylon filament in a sealed bucket with small silicate packs which come from things you buy. I also have a food dryer with a modified cake holder for extracting moisture out of filament.

 

[donalds]

Very Smart, I just don't want to deal with getting a dehydrator, but I didn't think of using silicate packets so thank you for telling me. I actually plan on making a model of a car using images in 3ds max and print it. I'm gonna make it as detailed as possible but it will only be worked on in my free time in class so it might be a low poly version. It might take a while but I will show the finished product when it is done.

That's really cool, I can't wait to see the big version of that making massive parts that are used for cars or buildings. It's crazy how fast 3D printing has evolved. There is a car that was made by an AI, and the only way the car could be made is if they were to 3D print the parts. It's soo cool to see the parts as well because they are made from an AI and look like something found in nature. I can't wait to see them print with liquid metal instead of using lasers to melt the layers together.

It's amazing that they are able to 3d print highly stressed components already. The Bugatti Veyron's brake caliper is a great example.

Ditto, hopefully not too far off, we can start making things like brackets which hold accessories etc. Light weight non structural parts are one thing, but strong objects are harder to make with the current consumer machines so far.

 

[BrooklynBay]

They already have machines capable of printing metal parts. There are gigantic machines using some sort of cement mix to build houses.

A 3D-Printed Home Just Popped up on Zillow for a Cool $300,000

People have been talking about the advent of 3D-printed homes for quite some time now, but now a listing for a home in New York has popped up on Zillow boasting to be the “world’s first 3D-printed home for sale.”

$50 says that if they ever make a viable body part printer, within 3 months, companies will be making these types of machines specifically for penis enlargement.... and those will be the best selling versions.

Are you saying you can make a "New Johnson " with this and where do you get them........lol

With a speed like that we are getting closer to having a real replicator.
