    Excluding the motion control functionality of a 3d printer, the rest of it is just a glorified glue gun basically.
    Problems with your setup:
    1) printers have heated beds to help with cohesion, and to help prevent rapid cooling.
    2) average nozzle diameter is 0.4mm and I'm fairly certain that is significantly smaller than standard glue guns.
    3) the funneling ratio for 3d printers is ~4.25/1 which help to functionally push the filament out by pressure rather than a trigger function using the backend solid matter as a plunger, thus a smooth flow of outbound material.
    I imagine it would not be that hard to modify any standard glue gun to function like a 3d pen, but not a printer.
    Never the less... awesome episode, I totally thought those printed glue sticks were not going to work, were they solid or infilled geometry?

    I built flame wings for a fire Pegasus using hot glue, floral wire and feathers. The tips of the wings were flames of hot glue, and the structure of the wings is a lattice of hot glue, covered in feathers. You can build things in 3D with hot glue if you give the first layer time to cool (pop it in the freezer for a minute or two) before adding the next one.

    Hot glue and a nice silicone mold (or tinfoil sprayed with Pam as a mold release) and you can make amazing things with hot glue.
    It paints well after a layer of primer so you can get amazing textures. Or paint it with nail polish for a gem-y affect.
    I've made an entire dice tower, masks, jewels and an entire alien helmet with EL wire inlay.
    Since it's slightly flexible, I've used it as a mold material itself to replicate the snakes on the hocus pocus book in epoxy clay. It isn't perfect, but does fine in a pinch.
    Since it's translucent, it's also awesome for flame effect for models and cosplay. Just paint it with glass paint, alcohol ink or insert a flickering LED from one of those cheap tea lights.
    Use colored hot glue instead of sealing wax for fancy letters.
    You can do so much!!!!

  • @paarthsoni6233
    @paarthsoni6233 3 года назад

    Hey TKOR, I have a suggestion you might be interested in. When you put PLA out onto the rubber mat, it was cool enough to not let the molten PLA stick to it. As you know, a 3D printer often heats the print bed to 50-60°C from the PLA transferring onto it from a temperature of 220°. Try a heated surface to overcome slipping away of molten PLASTICK from the gun.
