Hey Joel...I'm in a bit of a quandry...I'm trying to decide on a custom printer build. The main reason I got into 3d printing several years ago was to print combat RC airplanes. Well I've ended up printing a lot of different things other then planes and even have my own small business printing disc golf accessories. But I really want to up my game for the RC airplanes since that is what I originally wanted to do. The planes I print are 1/12th scale WWII warbirds like the Spitfire and the P-51 Mustang. On a standard FDM printer the wings are printed in 4 parts (Not including the ailerons) and tend to be less than 1 meter in wingspan. Now these planes are designed to be printed from PLA (Now more planes are printed from LW-PLA) but as I found out...single wall PLA prints do not stand up well to the hot Hawaiian sun so I have switched to PETG. But with PETG I had a bit of a warping issue when the parts were removed from the build plate. I was able to fix the issue by heating my enclosure to 60°C. Given that success I would like to build a custom printer that is 500mm in Z axis so that I can print each wing as 1 piece instead of 4 and I would like to heat the enclosure hot enough to use materials like ABS or PC. I think that PC will be the ultimate material for RC planes because the layer adhesion is extremely high...but the warping at room temp and even at 60°C is way too much. So to print thin wall RC airplanes I'll need the enclosure heated to probably close to 100°C. So I'm looking to build a custom printer to print these planes that has an enclosure built in. So I'm thinking either a Core X/Y or a Voron build would be best because I can isolate all the electronics except for the hot end outside of the heated enclosure. Should I be looking more toward a Core X/Y or a Voron? Or is there another build I should be looking at? Thanks!
I saw you filming while Velo3D was talking to you and was going to say hi, but thank god I didn’t wait for the video to be over because I would’ve been there for hours 😂
There is a booth there for InssTek and it’s probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, a machine that welds 6 different metals at the same time into high entropy alloys, extremely cool
Great Show and Telling! Awesome work Joel, David, and internet connection!
SJ was fantastic-they are a Rock Star!
Ahh mannn I missed it😢 our days and nights are ...well day and night. But gonna watch this at work NOW...
That was awesome thanks 3dpn team
Awesome to see you there we had a great time!!
I’m still at Rapid + TCT until tomorrow but sorry to have missed your live stream yesterday. Very cool conference

So cool

Sorry I missed you Joel. I was there today. It was a very cool show
The temperature of the sun is more like 5500 C, not 1400C.
You remind me of Captain Haddock :)
Did you meet Pia again? 😅 (the one from the SLS/Polyjet dyeing company)
I wish i could of went. I was invited just could not make it
Good
I guess this is the bird drone shown: ruclips.net/video/w6VLzKACnS8/видео.html
Amazing tech.....
But the ball can’t float. Make the bike electric, molding to fit.
Was that basketball 3d printed?
yes sir!
I am not going throug 3 hours of 3D printing Nerd!
I'm not eating salmon for dinner. Anybody else want to talk about the things they aren't going to do?
Anybody?
@@MonkeyButlerLabs 😂 Thanks for that!
to long
its a live stream replay of course its long
