3D Printing: 13 MORE Things I Wish I Knew: Update

All things covered just multi color not...covered

DUDE! You just gave me an awesome idea. That 3D printing pen would be perfect for making little N scale tree armatures for my model railroad. Thanks.

Hello. I have a new Ender 5 Pro (2 weeks). My first four prints came our nearly perfect. Now, suddenly the printer is under-extruding. The filaments of the adhesion brims are not sticking together, completed prints a brittle and nearly hollow, fills are almost non existent. In your experience is there any reason for this to suddenly happen? I have installed a new nozzle, but have achieved the same poor results. Any suggestions on where to look to trouble shoot? Filament stepper motor perhaps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You really offer great informative extremely helpful content, thank you

i could not wrap my head around fusion 360, so, because i have a background in 3d modeling for video games, i chose to learn how to use blender for designing things to print. This has been a great way to design custom objects for 3d printing. The biggest obstacle was getting the "measureit" add on settings correct or understanding how to use them, but once you understand what the values are, you can always use an online conversion calculator to convert from inches to mm, and usually the default setting is meters in blender, so it's fairly easy to see that the imported stl model is actually mm instead of meters, so you don't actually have to set it to mm, just pretend it's already mm and its fine. If you are already comfortable working in blender, it is a very viable option for creating or modifying/mixing models. FreeCAD is another option if you want the ability to "blueprint" something with precise measurements and then use that as the basis for the model. then you can always export it to blender for final touchups, aesthetic adjustments, etc.

Anyway, those are two other ways to make and modify models for printing.

Don't forget, we live in a society where teenagers think it is ok to eat LAUNDRY DETERGENT PODS. Unfortunately, I don't think eating silica packs would be a stretch for them.

What about 3D printers that use the liquid resin and print from the top? Will the designing programs also work with them as well?

Another great video, thank you!

Blender 3D it's open source, free, metric peta tonnes of tutorials, highly customizable for needed use, high learning curve yes but you have huge communities to ask and all the time to learn it.
It exports to STL format right off the bat to feed into a slicer and is regarded as the most powerful free 3D modeling software out there.

LOL at this guy subliminally sharing his LDS church print for no reason whatsoever except to push his religious agenda..

im getting my first 3d printer soon.

Right now I would like to know not to buy the “newest” 3d printer like Ender 3 S1 because there are not much software compatible and less accessories to buy or print

I subbed just for the Office reference

I use magnetic bed, with spring steel sheet, blue painter's tape, sometimes with glue stick and I turn off the heater after 1st layer. No problems at all. Save power.🤙

Absolutely amazing! Great tips for noobs like me. I just started 6 months ago, and this really helped.

Excellent video. Learned a lot, plus, I love your shirt. Say hello to Dwight. And no ... Germans are not the way Dwight made them look like. :-D :-D

Ahh the time when Raspberry Pi's were $35-$40.

I can't find Raspberry Pi for under $200.

I just ordered an LK5 and know nothing about 3d printing. But I've watched a lot of videos. What baffles me, is that so many people are saying get a pen, get better leveling knobs and get this and get that. It seems as though buying the printer is only the beginning. Why aren't the manufacturers including these upgrades, so people don't have to buy all of this "extra" stuff.???

What settings did you use for your tree support? I just started experimenting with them and they initially started as giant blobs everywhere and not nearly as controlled as what you have.

is that the SLC Temple?

like your T shirt : )

Just a beginners take on bed levelling or to put a question out there...
For example on the most important issue,
Does a 0.4 mm nozzle not require a gap less than the nozzle size, so would the use of feeler gauges not work to accurately determine the best gap according to profiles and materials?
Does the print quality affect this gap and first layer height ?

You can put a bead of crazy glue and put some baking soda on it and it will instantly cure the glue to a plastic like finish and then sand it

Dont use brass nozzle use a coated one for petg that comes from expeeriance

Soap and water for oils and grease, plain Dawn works awesome. Isopropyl alcohol will clean the other residue.

$495.00 AUD for a Raspberry Pi3 B+! No thanks I'll pass on that one

Guy in the video: who eats silica packets lol
Me: Same people eating tide pods... never underestimate how dumb people are

I'm not sure how to answer your ending question, as I'm just getting started. But like a sponge, I'm soaking up everything I can. Can't wait to get going really strong with all of this. It opens up an entirely new world... Thanks for another great vid.

haha love your T-shirt :)

Okay, now you are just riding off the former glory of a successful 3.5M views video.

Thanks dude! I’ve watched both your prior ones, my first printer is coming today.
I’ll need to rewatch a few times.

Are print glass bases interchngable? I recieved a voxelab aries for xmas/birthday this year and am just learning. I'm interested in the magnetic plates but wasn't sure if they would work. Thanks

I don't know if I can continue watching this after you did not use the word desiccant. Maybe you do not know.......so what else do you not explain right..... sorry, game over

Nice salt lake temple there

When you all have time to do it? Looks like full time job

Nice video, and most important : nice t shirt.

PLA is actually one lf the strongest filaments it is just more brital than ABS and less heat resistance. But abs is pretty much irrelevant now.

You put a clip of a guard for a Dewalt miter saw dust collector in here..... I know EXACTLY why it was designed because I have the same issue and need that stl file, if you could send me the link.... that would be sick 😂

Can you add one more important topic: the proper disposal of plastic printing wastes? I think it would be helpful and educational for many since more people are doing 3D printing and that means more forever plastic waste will be on the earth we are living in. Are there a way to indefinitely recycle the plastic filament materials?

I filled a little spray bottle with the alcohol for bed cleaning. I need to get a few good microfiber cloths still

G10 or G12 bed, why not

Any excitement in 3d printing sector today?
