    Using a small fan (make sure it isn't affected by acetone) to move the air around will help with the acetone smoothing, since acetone vapours are heavier than air. This is why you had the issue with the uneven smoothing. Great idea on using the rig.

      Some fans are designed to be explosion proof. Those are the ideal option this situation. An impeller, would be the next option.

    If you don't want to get a messy bed for printing ABS, you can put a PEI sheet on it, and it's really magic, ABS stick super well to that with a heated bed at ~110degree celsius :)
    Regarding your acetone smoothing problem. If you want to get everything smoothing and not the bottom only, you need to warm your acetone in the bucket, but that's something rather dangerous to do so I strongly discourage that. In the case of the glass jar, you can put it on an electric plate for cooking for example, low temperature.
    Personally my technique to smooth things is "acetone rubbing", I use some paper towel with a bit of acetone on it and rub the surface to erase most of the printing lines and then finish with sandpaper. For the inaccessible areas like the gem, I use a very diluted acetone/ABS goo that I gently brush on the part to smooth, usually make things smooth enough for looking good, and by applying multiple layers, it doesn't penetrate as deep that the vapour, that way you avoid problem of parts becoming soft (and that can deform, which can be annoying for tight fits), or the problem of seeing the infill pattern if you walls are too thin. Also, that way I don't take risk of getting lots of acetone vapour. Still I do it with respirator in a ventilated area most of the time or if I will stay more than for a small touch up.
    And last thing, for ABS I do recommend a brim indeed ;) Best to get a perfect bed-touching surface of the propos, is to get a first layer over extruding by 15 to 30 % (depends on filament) ;)

    • @punishedprops

    • @ritinkornas5336
      @ritinkornas5336 6 лет назад

      @AlbusLux hum I think it would be rather dangerous to get a fan and this electric motor in the acetone vapour. From my understanding, the risk of fire hazard is one of the problem of acetone vapour smoothing, so adding a potential source of sparks in the vapour is then a dangerous idea :s even though it could indeed be working to redistribute the vapours. It makes me wonder about "humidifier" machine, I think they have an ultrasonic vibrator to break the liquid water in super ultra thin drops, so it can then start in suspension in the air. Could an ultra sonic vibrator be set under the glass jar containing acetone to make an acetone fog? (Because if you spray the acetone directly on the props it will be a bad result...)
      Or maybe but warning it's dangerous !!! I'm wondering about airbrushing some acetone on the props, as it is very thin drops... ? In an super super super well ventilated area with a respirator for chemicals and closed mask on the eyes, plus full jumpsuit eventually... And if your airbrush doesn't have any plastic parts meltable with the acetone.
      But I repeat, it pose a couple of dangers!!!!

      Punished Props Academy do you know if this "technique" works also with new type of resin 3d printed? Or the acetone reacts only with the old plastic filament. Or it is necessary a specific plastic material? I'm not understand English very well and I'm not sure if you've talked about this in the video. 😊 Bye

    This prop is amazing! Google put this video in my recommended because about a week ago I published an Instructables tutorial for a collapsable walking stick that was made from the legs of an old camera tripod. Also I like that you showed how the mechanism of twist-release collapsable poles work, because I didn't open up mine when I built my walking stick, so I wondered how the twist-releases worked (until now!). Thanks for this video, especially the tips on the acetone smoothing. Keep up the amazing work!

  • @theultimatesteelshooter8610
    @theultimatesteelshooter8610 2 года назад

    I only 3D print using PLA as it’s super simple to work with but it requires sanding and priming to get perfectly smooth finish. The method I settled on was first shown to me by Joe silvagi for doing my Mando armor … Rustoleum 2in 1 filler sandable primer followed by 320 wet sanding followed by dupicolor primer then 600 wet sand. Finish with dupicolor primer sealer and you’re ready for painting. The automotive grade spray can primer is key as the nozzles are 10x better than Rustoleum and provide a perfect finish without the need to use airbrush or LPHV spray guns. Also I always spray a black mist “guide coat “ of black primer on for each round which makes it so you see here you still need to sand the piece perfectly even.

    Great build and a nice idea to make use of a collapsable pole. I'll have to use the idea on some projects to see how much easier it makes transport vs sectioning the handle into multiple pieces.

    If you're going to use pegs, the holes should be added to the model before printing. This way, you can ensure proper alignment. For best results, make 3 holes, not forming an equilateral triangle. That way, there's no possibility of improper rotation.

  • @itzdono
    @itzdono 6 лет назад +1

    Have you tried putting acetone on a paper towel inside of an airbrush jar & airbrushing the crinkly bits out with the acetone vapor. Different tips could give you different effects & detail. & next time, leave a space for a crystal & pop it in the middle when it's still pliable. The branches will dry around it, holding it in place. Then, wiring a light through the bottom will be spectacular. A cheap camera strobe would be a nice touch. Diffused through the crystal would be a very effective flash. Then the hollow tube could be filled with batteries. You could hide a button switch in a replica of a knot of wood on the larger top section of tubing. There's also wood grain paper you could lacquer over the tube or print it yourself to make sure the color matches.

    I have to admit that I'm putting more effort into prototyping with 3D prints and then casting them. As that gives me a broader choice of stronger materials to work with.
    I might have tried printing this one with wood filament and then used real wood for the rest of the staff, cutting it into sections that could be screwed together for breaking it down, instead of being collapsible. But I guess that isn't as cool. ;)

    I printed the same top-piece for my Gandalf the White staff I'm working on lighting up, and while I like how it looks....I noticed the top of the model is pretty far off from the PJ movie version (rather than the "lines" gathering together they stay seperate).

    I kinda think it'd look better if the pole was flipped. That the thicker end of the pole starts at the top then tapers down to the bottom, giving it a sleeker look.

    My next idea are full body wings that can fold and possibly levitate when modes change. What materials would be best for aerodynamics and insulation?

      3D Printers are a really useful tool for making, but they're definitely a serious purchase! There's nothing wrong with taking the time to make that decision!

      You can do anything you put your mind to it and there are videos of creative artists that can guide you so a 3d printer is not always needed. Plus there are maker spaces and other places you can go to if you want to make a one off print. IF you do decide to go into 3d printing, there is are very supportive groups out there that will help guide you into that world. It doesn't have to be expensive so long as you adhere to your budget and it is easy to look into the higher end models. But do not dismiss a good entry level model as it will give you insight on how to make better prints and not break the budget you set yourself to. DO research what you need to thoroughly. DO ask as many questions as you have. #d printing is an investment and the payoff can be awesome when you start making prints and even designing your own and sharing it with others. Cheers.

    Another method that might work for a collapsible pole would be to thread a thin bungee cord through multiple tubes, similar to how canes are made for blind individuals

    Have you tried using Duplicolor scratch and filler primer? dries way way faster than rustoleum (almost instant), goes on a lot smoother and sands really nice too

      Not too stoked about having an electric fan motor near all that vaporized, flammable liquid. =)

    Looks like it wasnt printed flat, which is why you got the weird raft. Also try 3 wall line count.

    I wonder what sandblasting (or tumbling) with fine grit would do to something like this?

    • @punishedprops
      @punishedprops  6 лет назад

      We don't have either of those pieces of equipment, so we've never tried it. I think the folks at Matterhackers did a tumbler video though.
