You are very knowledgeable, and your video helped me with my homework! One note for you though: in every technology's description, you used words like "they're doing amazing things with this technology" and "these create incredible prints"... but if you say this about all of them, you just sound infatuated, and it doesn't inform us of anything. Perhaps either give us examples of these amazing things they're doing, or calm down a little? Haha anyway, again great video, I'll likely keep coming back for more as my class continues.
Rhino's got a lot going for it. Semi-parametric, but also very free flowing. I haven't used it, but by all reports it's more inuitive than Blender, though Blender sets that bar really low, and it's good for those coming from a CAD background, and not unreasonably expensive. That said, without 1000 hours in it I don't know how it compares to my usual toolset in the end.
I find that it is amazing in terms of how accurately I can translate, for example, a sketched idea and generate a cad drawing for export. I was wondering more so what you have heard about its compatibility with slicing programs.
Thanks a lot. One last question. I will definitely be using this printer for years so Im looking at the Robo R1 Plus because of its extrusion improvements from the R1. The printer has its own slicer but doesn't call it a slicer, and it prints directly from an stl file. Seem fishy or are you confident it's worth the price?
3d printing aluminum? Right now, the only reliable option is a printer that melts metal powder with an industrial laser and costs$100k+. Bit its good enough that they use it to make airplane parts. The other option is you use a 3d print to do lost 'wax' casting. How do you feel about melting metal?
Glad I found your channal. You certainly are a wealth of knowledge for 3D printing. Do you own a Delta style printer as opposed to Cartesian. What is your opinion on them? Have you made a video on that yet I am missing somewhere?
Delta printers are pretty and mathematically interesting. However, I don't see that they offer any advantage over other styles of printers either in terms of speed, capability, or space consumption.
Again, no major advantage. There are things about deltas, like the fact that the movement system is basically the same for all motors just multiplied around, that might make them slightly easier to work on. But overall any advantage they have is balanced so it becomes a wash. Still, deltas are pretty cool, so the decision can go either way.
Sweet! I appreciate the insight. Keep the great videos coming and I am building a Delta right now. I really considered the Monoprice Select... but my buddy Russ Gries (RWGResearch) was a great influence over 5 years ago with his Delta. Anyways, I do appreciate you taking the time to respond. I hope ypu are able to enjoy every present moment to its fullest. 😁
3D Printing Professor So far I get orders once a month. From one order I connected to a local business from which I plan to generate a substantial regular income
Thanks for the great overview!
Woo.....that's the video I have been looking for a long time.... thx professor....
Thank you so much, professor! You are amazing..!
Thanks for information
So great and helpful! Thank you!😁
I have a project with 3d printing & just you helped me
I love your videos, thanks for makeing another😀
Hey I really like the content on your channel. Thank You!

Another great video! :)
I am an architecture student and we use Rhino cad software, how does that compare to other programs that you have used?

I suspect it's comparability is the same as any other CAD program. it can export an STL or other file format that the slicer can use.

What can I use to print a aluminium gears and small parts with high precision and smooth surface?

Hi professor can i use your video in my blog?
You bet. Send me up a link after you have so I can check out your blog.
Where is FDM in the chart. The most common type of 3d printer.

Which 3D prnting technology would you recommend for a small company for 3d printing polymer packaging for consumer goods? Thank you for your video!
Not really sure I understand the application. I would think that would be a better use case for a cutter or vacuum former.

Delta printers are pretty and mathematically interesting. However, I don't see that they offer any advantage over other styles of printers either in terms of speed, capability, or space consumption.
How about in terms of functionality and modification?

you should do a video on 3Dhubs
What's your opinion on 3DHubs? do you use them? Do they generate a lot of business for you?
3D Printing Professor So far I get orders once a month. From one order I connected to a local business from which I plan to generate a substantial regular income
can you please do a video on how SLS is different from FDM in terms of parts generated?
Ujjawal Aggarwal I have very few SLS parts, but I will endeavour.
make nother vid with gabe
It is definitely coming.
Reply to this if you can answer questions I have, do u even get notified of this comment? I’m tired of pointless typing
I read all the comments, but I'm more likely to reply to ones that spell "u" with 3 letters.
