Keep up the important work!
Just received mine today. Thanks for the video. Happy 3D printing!
I'm doing some more testing on one right now to try and compare apples to apples against the Polyphemus I just reviewed/tested.
@@EDGEOF3D Looking forward to it, thanks for the reply. Have a great New Year.
And its made very well
Yes, I am impressed with the overall quality of the dryer, it does have a look & feel of a higher end piece of equipment.
@EDGEOF3D i like the fact that it rotates the filament that makes alot of sense..
It works very well they even make desicant holders you can print and drop in . But it works very well
Bro desperately needs some nasal strips. Sounds more stuffed up then that time I snorted an OZ of Blow of a Chicks ass. Edit: I forgot to include, thanks for the video. I just found your channel today. Sub'ed.
You want a tough filament? PVDF annhiliates PPS in strength every way till sunday.
@6:28 you meant rigidity, not strength. a stronger part will require more force to break, not less. pps is like printing glass. for non-cf pps, annealing is required or layer adhesion is terrible. you can easily pull apart a non annealed pps benchy by hand.
Ooh, someone that tests more than one sample. Unlike SOME channels (My Tech Fun. Good work.
Why are we even doing this video with so many wet filament prints and missing filament tests because the roll was wet?
"We" are not doing anything, however, this is my channel and as such I can do whatever I choose within YT terms of service and last time I checked, thier TOS makes no mention of wet filament.
@EDGEOF3D True...lol.
what happened to all your subscribers?
Made a mistake and now I get to start over.
TLA stands for Three Letter Acronym as well.
maaaaan does anyone know where the old eva 2.4.2 toolhead assembly instructions could be found? i am doing this project and my 80$ phaetus toolhead was dropped as a supported toolhead and now i cant find any assembly instructions except for the eva 3.0 and above ....lame
hey how you doing i actually just got a 500g spool of the fiberon petcf -17 and came across your video and had a few questions for you im starting to protype some parts for a top alcohol car and a couple other projects we are working on at the shop i was wondering just curious on what material you use primarily and the types of printers they are printed on along with print settings and what not thanks..
Have you tried Bambu Labs new PPA-CF? The specs are crazy high.
I thought my right AirPod died
I used pc cf if it's much stronger
Do you have a link to the top hat?
There is no link, that was a one-off build I did for a show over 2 years ago.
I wish it was cheaper so people can easily buy it
Scott, it was a pleasure meeting you last weekend at 3D Printopia. Didn't know you had a booming channel! Keep on breaking things :)
where did you get the skirts from?
Discord
Is there any open source printer which gives us the best print quality and speed like bambulab or even better than that in the budget of bambulab a1 series or creality k1 series?
Voron Trident or Zero G Mercury One.1
Hey - I am going to take you up on your offer to bring some objects to 3D Printopia to test, and I grabbed the 3 STLs on your Google drive. I would first like to ask - do you have any limit on the different types of materials you would allow someone to test? I was thinking of 4 black filaments (GIANTARM PETG, Bambu Lab PETG HF, Bambu Lab Basic PLA, and Bambu Lab Matte PLA) to take the color variation out of the mix some people get hung up on. I was also thinking about doing 2 more colors (GIANTARM Silver PETG for comparison to their black and something else). I don't want to monopolize your booth/gear and/or wear out my welcome, so do you have a limit on the number of filaments I should limit myself to? As to printing the objects, can you share the number of walls, infill % and type, wall generation, etc that you use to print these models? I saw you said in the video you said we could do whatever we wanted but I figured I would prefer to try and match what you are doing for a more apples to apples comparison. Lastly, how many of each model should we print per filament to get an accurate/average number? Like do you want 3 dog bones of each type of filament to take an average?
Bring all you want, worst thing that is going to happen is we run out of time. We can test anything that is 3D Printed plastic, I will not run metals in them.
@@EDGEOF3D I 100% promise anything I bring will come from my X1C. No metal. Do you have a standard set of settings you have been using when you print them? I would like to mirror what you are testing so my numbers are comparable to yours. I was thinking 15% gyroid infill w/ 3 walls, 0.16mm layer height if you don't but want to match what you have been using. Also, should any be printed standing up? Sorry if you covered this in the video and I missed it.
@@hotfix7387 Dog Bone and Izod impact test are printed laying down and solid. I use enough walls to make them solid, no infill. Hooks are printed Voron Standard and can be done either way. Stand up will test layer adheasion, laying down will test material strength.
@@EDGEOF3D I'm not sure what "printed Voron Standard" means, but I will look around to see if I can find out.
@@hotfix7387 Voron Print Settings These are the recommended settings. Layer height: 0.2mm Extrusion width: 0.4mm, forced Infill percentage: 40% Infill type: grid, gyroid, honeycomb, triangle, or cubic Wall count: 4 Solid top/bottom layers: 5 Supports: NONE
does this kit works with bambulab printer ? if yes then please specify model ? (i have A1)will it be compatible?
No, this requires Klipper, Bambu is a closed source system.
That's ridiculously strong.
PPS-CF and PET-CF (when dry) are really impressive.
I really enjoyed your build on the ender 5 plus mercury 1.1 untill the end when you did not show to to wire it up so I guess I will be on my own at 70 years young to do it myself..
I apologize that I did not get a wiring video done for this unit but as is the case with most every build I do, these are for shows and wiring is one of the final steps. Unfortunately, this always comes about right at crunch time to get finished up for the shows, I do not get any video work done and miss the mark on this particular item more often than not.
@@EDGEOF3D No worries I got mine done sort of. May I ask what slicer do you use? I have tried a few and the prints always fail.
@@oldtimeengineer26 Back when I was building these, I used Super Slicer, now I use Orca Slicer, but I no longer have any Mercury One's, I only have a single Voron 2.4 left, I've given away all my other printers.
I just got my roll yesterday and been printing like crazy. I'll be leaving a review on Amazon with photos but man is this stuff crazy. Prints absolutely beautiful on my q1 pro. Downloaded profile right off polymaker website and it's perfect. Been printing at 300mms with no issues. the look on people's faces when they hear plastic clink like metal haha. I'm printing voron parts to see how it goes. So far looks amazing and parts fit great right off the bed. Printing the extruder first as it has the tightest tolerances . But I think where it's gonna matter is the mounts and gantry assembly. Great video and hope to see more tests. Gonna use it more for car audio and parts for under the hood. This is gonna replace my ASA-CF. .
I have just finished building a 2.4 R2 out of PPS-CF. One thing I will tell you when it comes to the extruder, if you're using a SB with CW2, the latch for the top will not work in PPS-CF, this has to flex a little bit to "latch" around the M3 screw. I tried it with unannealed after the annealed proved to be too stiff and still was not able to make it work so I made these parts out of PET-CF. Other than that, the rest of the printer in PET-CF and anything inside the chamber has been annealed at 125°C for 16 hours.
I think a good test for determining if it's a good material to build a printer out of would be a creep test. My Tech Fun has a good methodology for testing creep with their C bending test.
Config file link broken. Could you please provide a new link? and maybe you can help the people that wants to use bl touch, dual Z Steppers and filament run out sensor at the config file. Thanks a lot for the awesome video. Cheers
Awesome job on the new tester...you took quite some time to do that. Congrats
Thanks 👍
Another great informative vid with real data
wow that's incredible, was hoping to see how pps-cf10 held up. thanks
Interesting. Very short video that shows a lot.
A quick question about the PPS-CF. As hard and brittle as it is, I was thinking that it might feed easier if warmed in the Bowden tube or other feed path. I looked on the Fiberon site and couldn’t find anything about preheating the material. Do you foresee any problems that may arise by heating the filament on its way to being extruded? Thanks for the video and taking the time go reply to these comments
I've actually not had any issues with it feeding at room temperatures. However, with that being said, I'm testing 2 inline filament driers/heaters that can heat to 195° and have not seen a difference in how it feeds but have seem a difference in the prints, I've had to lower my nozzle temps to keep from overheating the filament and causing stringing. As well as being careful how hot to heat different filaments to keep them from becoming too soft and pulling into in the boden or not feeding.
Celsius or Fahrenheit?
Celsius
Thanks for the info, Scott.. Glad to see someone sharing the learning process and willing to go the extra mile.
Awesome annealing. Thanks for the testing, save us a lot of research for purchasing said materials for durability.
Thanks again for taking a look at this. I've printed more with PPS-CF, and I've found that some parts may need to be annealed more than others. For example, I printed a little coin out of it at 100% infill, and it had that characteristic clank and ring to it when dropped. However, I also printed a 20mm calibration cube from it, and it didn't have that ring at all. In fact, I couldn't tell a difference in sound between the PPS-CF and a regular PLA calibration cube. I'm assuming that the calibration cube experienced a lot more cooling with only 10% infill, so it didn't develop a good crystal structure. Whereas the coin had plenty of heat applied across it, and it developed a better crystalline structure. I obviously wasn't trying to make anything structural or useful, but it's interesting nonetheless :)
Did the annealing process result in any loss of dimensional accuracy? I mean if it did, is there any point in going further with any other tests?
On the PET-CF and PPS-CF both, there was no measurable change in dimension from raw to annealed.
I'll add that early on I printed 30mm cubes, measured them then took 1/2 the samples and annealed them per my normal process of 2+16 hours and no change in any dimension on anything for that set of tests.
@@EDGEOF3D Excellent
I would take a look at the the TDS sheets. There is some change, but it can be compensated for. Some geometries may be tricky
Fascinating indeed. Always nice to see some empirical head to head test to show stuff like this. Really helps cut through the marketing and hearsay that so often dominates.
I had a few people tell me the I "have" to anneal the PPS-CF to use it, and I asked why. Well, no one could give me the why other than parroting things they have read or heard but could not point me to any actual data. So, I'm making my own data, and I will use that to decide if it needs to be done or not. I will say that 99.23% of all consumer grade 3D printers will never see temperatures in the chamber (for those that have them) high enough to cause any concern with the PPS-CF. Now the PET-CF, failed spectacularly at below 80°C so that I need to test further to make a decision. PA6 and PA12 coming tomorrow then on to CoPA and PA612 after that, then I'll start moving down the line to PETG, ASA, ABS etc.
I'd like to have the TDS both with and without annealing. It would help me understand when I really need to anneal.
That is going to be up to the manufacturer to supply. Some will, some don't. Some of the Polymaker stuff has some pretty comprehensive TDS data.
In short: if you need heat resistance, chemical resistance or the most stiffness, anneal it. Otherwise don't
At the same time, if you're not annealing, you probably want a different filament
Hot damn!
Thanks for the great video. Was very helpful in making my decision to get one. First, your Surface 5 may not be up to video editing, but slicing shouldn’t take so long. Have you done any “ Maintenance” on the OS and turn off a lot of the clutter that slow them down? Lastly, I mean no disrespect. Your channel has a lot of excellent content, it’s just that, in my opinion, the library is very hard to navigate as well as to decent what the topics of each video are. Primarily, at least to me, the red on black coloring of the thumbnail images in the playlist make it very hard to read. Again, just my opinion, but I’d bet if you made your library more readable and succinct, your subscriber numbers would go through the roof. Because the quality content is there. I only found your channel when I searched for the new Fiberon which led me to those videos. But as much as I’ve been searching for content on 3D printing trying to teach myself the hobby, I’ve never had your channel brought to my attention. Again, I mean no disrespect. Thanks for the video!
Comments like yours are in no way ever taken as disrespectful or negative in any way shape or form. I appreciate any type of feedback and yes, I agree, my channel is a hodge-podge mess of content and the thumbnails, well, they look cool to me, they severely lack in CTR though. My channel was never "intended" to be anything more than a hobby, but it has begun to evolve, and I do need to take the time and focus on many factors beyond just the content because, like you have pointed out, someone may have amazing content but never be seen. My content is far from amazing; however, it seems to generate some positive feedback from the people who do stumble upon it, I just need to optimize it to be easier to find. As for the surface, that was also used for some of my "work" stuff and as such had all kinds of required crap on it that made even typing a not in Notepad an exercise in frustration. I have since given that away, got a high-end Dell dedicated to work (Dell required by employer) and an MSI Stealth 16 Studio for my 3D/RUclips stuff.
Is that an ERCF at the top????
Was a ERCF on there for a short while, printed with it a couple times and, frankly, dealing with buffers and such was such a PITA, I never used it again.
I appreciate what you do! I am just getting into 3D printing. I am a truck driver and want to do some things for trucking. I'm very interested in the carbon fiber. I'm having trouble finding a printer that can print at higher temp than 300*. I currently have a Bambu P1S. do you have any recommendations?
Honestly, I don't know of any off the shelf solutions that would fit the bill being bounced around in a truck all day. I'm sure there are some out there than can do over 300°C but I'm not familiar enough with any of them to make any kind of educated/informed recommendations.
The Qidi Q1 Pro can do 350C nozzle, 60 heated chamber and 120 bed temp, all for around 400$ USD.
Considering current official firmware updates introduced - is rooting worth the whole effort for standard printing?
I’m curious, how did you adjust your slicer settings for the parts you are annealing? My understanding is that shrinkage will be greater when annealing so would be very interested in any insight you might have there.
On all of the test samples on PPS-CF, there has been no dimensional changes when annealing. I've made some test gantry pieces and built a test device out of annealed PPS-CF which has fit perfectly and works as it should. Polymaker's TDS also confirms no shrinkage on PPS-CF. I've not tested PET-CF as that is going to be non-functional parts like the skirt etc. so small shrinkage will not have adverse effects on the printer.
@@EDGEOF3D That's fantastic news! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Good stuff, but a question. I thought the voron were suppose to be self sourcing of parts. If it is a kit how is that self sourcing? Never understood that about the voron craze. Thanks just looking for info.
Vorons are about being able to build a printer with completely off the shelf components. Self sourcing used to be the route, but kits are usually far more economical these days when considering shipping and economies of scale. Even though there's some 'custom' components in the kits now like Leviathan or Nitehawk-SB, they aren't required and you could substitute in whatever you like that's compatible. Heck, Vorons don't even have to run Klipper - Steve Builds has done series with them running Marlin or RepRap firmware.
Ender 3’s were kits too. Things have changed.
Like @thunderkeys said, it's never been about self-sourcing and always been about building it yourself and building it the way you want it. It just allows for so much customization, modding, upgrading. It's the evolution of open source. It's for people where 3D printers are the hobby, not just the things you print. It's the difference between people who order their Prusa pre-built and those who order the kit so they can build it themselves and know it inside and out.
Go with beacon 100% worth. Had tap and much prefer beacon. Vitalii has the best carriage to make beacon easy to mount
Great kit - I've got close to 5k hours on my LDO Voron 2.4
