    Hi everyone, some updates:
    - A bunch of people pointed out that Windows 10 now has an embedded Linux environment. I installed this and went through the process again. I had a couple of errors and had to manually install missing cpan libraries via the command line. Slic3r did successfully compiled, but only runs via command line rather than with a graphical user interface as seen in this video. I'm sure there's a way to add even more modules to get the GUI working, but it's beyond my knowledge.
    - Some people also mentioned setting up a dual boot configuration. This is another great suggestion but I need to have my Windows PC on at all times to keep my video production going, so not suitable for me.
    - There have been some viewers pointing me towards 'air brush' nozzles. I've ordered a set, they look ideal for this technique.

      It's possible to run a Remote X instance in Windows to render GUIs for Linux programs. I haven't used Xming in half a year, but it should allow you to run any of the Slic3r GUIs when the X server and Xming are configured correctly.

You just can't know everything, and often trying to grab someone else's project off the internet puts you face-to-face with that.

And some people barely write instructions at all.

      They're tremendous fun and a great learning experience!! But they have limited uses in prototyping and custom work for the reasons David stated - there are often less time-intensive solutions than using a 3D printer. For most of us, it's simply a learning hobby for enjoyment and relaxation. On the other hand, those rare moments when you can simply print your own fix for something you can no longer get a part for... that's a magical moment worth every penny and every minute!!

    When I bought it the ender3 pro was the best bang for buck in all of additive manufacturing. In 2021 a lot of people dismiss it as glitchy and poorly made. I have about $500 invested with all the mods over the years. Based on mm, speed of travel and number of hours printing my printer head has traveled over 1000 miles, and printed more than 40kg of plastic. The thing is a highly underestimated workhorse. Sla is nice and all, but with some sandpaper, a shadow detector, and bondo I’ve been getting functional mechanical parts and desktop accessories that rival the best you can get in FDM. My ender 3 outperforms a $1000 Prusia with ease. I’ve done all the repairs myself so I know this thing in and out. Still rocking original steppers, and power supply. After more than 10,000hrs!!!

I think creality has some new offerings too all in the sub $500 category. However I don’t plan on upgrading until this hobby is pubic and not niche. My ender3 has been tricked out so far that it doesn’t make sense to upgrade. I have almost every performance mod you can get, but still run stock hotend, PSU, stepper, frames and belts. I’ve changed hotends once in 4 years. More important than quality of printer is quality of assembly. I get wicked prints not because of the mods I’ve done, but because every parallel bar sits at perfect level to the table and then to the floor, and every perpendicular bar sits at exactly 90• not 91, not 89. Threadlock where needed torqued to 20ft-lbs. every single screw, every single bearing every single roller triple checked. A smart person can have one assembled in less than an hour, but to do it properly should take you 4-5 if you know exactly what you’re doing. Teaching tech is my go-to for knowledge, but if I can help lmk.

      @@GuyMassicotte Problem is, 5 axis is much more difficult than just adding a couple of axes to a normal printer.
      G-code becomes more complicated. You'd need a specific program for it, as 5 axis uses a different coordinate system. Slicers are only programmed to make layers, where a true 5 axis part would need shells. And the current non-planar solutions are only generating shells on the top surface, where a 5 axis part would need a shell that covers all surfaces; think of topology and transforming a cube into any other shape, 3 axis can only manipulate the top face, 5 axis can manipulate more than just that one face.
      There's reasons why 5 axis printing is mostly still in development, with the only working variants being highly experimental. Same reasons as why 5 axis machining is just recently starting to get into the hobby market. It's not as simple as you might think it is.
      But go ahead, modify a printer to have two more axes, without the rest that's needed for 5 axis, and tell us how that works out.

    I mentioned this on the other video, but the next logical steps for non-planar are hot ends that have steeper angles, taller height to width ratio. Basically, with a steeper angled nozzle, it could fit into tighter curves. This also needs an entirely different cooling system, though, but that shouldn't be too difficult to develop.
    Non-planar also nicely extends into 5axis printing, which should be the next step of developments for the future of FDM.

    This technique could still be useful on conventional printers as long as you could map the 3D geometry of the areas that could potentially collide and detect whether that would actually happen or not. You could then use it for those cases where you have shallow slopes.
    Another thought would be to combine the two techniques so that you only allow a certain restricted amount of non-planar printing, before having to complete everything to that planar level and then resuming non-planar printing. It's not ideal, but better than conventional printing.

      One way to fix the stepping issue is to lightly run a soldering iron over the plastic. Just have to make sure to not leave it in contact with any point for more than a half second. That will melt the surface just enough to allow it to fill in the gaps.

    While I did manage to reproduce your results for the part that you shared, I found that when I tried to apply the same slicing method to a Cherry-MX keycap, the slicing looked fantastic, but when the printer got hold of the G-Code, it almost ground to a halt in the corners.
    Having a look at the G-Code, it looks like the resolution is relatively ridiculous, at least compared to a keycap sliced the normal way.
    For a 3mm wide brim of a normal sized keycap, the slicer now produced over 500 rows of code, each containing XYZ-coordinates, compared to about 100 rows with only XY.
    The printers slow handling of the GCode lead to that the nozzle stayed so long in each corner of the cap that it was deformed and swollen by the heat and oozing filament.
    I tried using scripts to reduce the resolution for any layer/row of G-Code that had the same Z-value, making the insane resolution do it´s thing just where it really needed XYZ, but it did not really improve anything.
    Did any of you other guys find anywhere in the source to change the resolution somehow? I did not.

      It could work by haveing 2 "arms" above one another in one slider, then adding one additional stepper per delta slider which moves the 2 in different directions and therefore creates a tilting force. - its a bit hard to explain in english without learning the mechanical engineering terms first. sorry.

A lot of passes would go on empty air, sure, it may not be the best option either, but far from completely non desired. Foundry molded forms are an example of this, where you only need to reduce to size a small quantity of material. And 5 axis machines give you the freedom for it to be far less of an issue (not the scope of a project done for fun though).

Both are commonly referred to as a "CNC" machine. Assuming you are referring to manufacturing a set of sand casts drag and cope moulds, it still doesn't make any sense why forcing a tool bit to cut at an unoptimal angle is faster, it induces premature wear on the tip and is more likely to break the tip. Basically costs you more in time and tooling. If you have burnt a drill bit before that's pretty much what happens. Pretty much all professional CAM packages are designed to provide the quickest, optimal operations for tool life. Also with 5 axis machines, they're pretty unsuitable for commercial casting, if you can't cut the mould with a 3D machine, you can't release the sand regardless. 5 axis could work if you're sacrificing the "mould" (investment casting), but then there would be better options for manufacturing speed. Eg 3d printing :).

For 3d printing 2.5d with small steps for sanding or what not should be sufficient but a workaround in the mean time...set your slicer to use zero top layers or one of not zero, upload your stl to Fusion 360 or whatever cam software, set a parallel toolpath with a .4mm ball endmill, one or two axial offsets (Z), and whatever stepover your using. Copy and paste that code, I assume editing the S and F and setting lead in/out to zero.

    That's cool, but too much difficult work on software side.
    I think it could really take of if CURA would make experimantal mode with it.
    Then people would just need to remove the fan shroud, on stock Ender 3 that's actually easy,

      I get your point.
      It's not a very user friendly method yet.

      Charlie Horvath the guys from Prusa already started with implementation if I'm understand the comments in the 'viral Video' right

      >an hour, maybe 2, maybe 3 of getting the software set up is too much work
      I don't know if 3d printing is a good hobby for you

      @@SlavicusVile You don't understand, I don't need planar printing that much to invest hours into it

      Its not difficult at all. Optimizing the hotend seems more tricky, to get really decent clearance as well as part cooling.
