Good question - Mainly because I like figuring out a good problem and this is a space that seems to have a lot of unanswered questions. I really like the lost PLA method and for the majority of the parts I've done (minus the print in place gear) it would be a better option, but lost PLA still has its downsides. 1. This method allows for printing and directly putting into the kiln with almost zero prep (putting refractory takes a few minutes). 2. Once dialed in (what I'm working towards) there's minimal cleanup for a piece as opposed to grinding and cutting that casting requires. 3. Molten metal can be pretty dangerous especially if you're not careful pouring, while this is a "set it and forget it" approach. Put in the kiln, turn it on, wait a day, pull it out. Done. Again, I'm mainly doing this as a fun way to experiment with a cool technology but there are some good reasons still to polish the process and show others how to do it
How big is your kiln? My medium sized crucible which has been pretty great was from a 3D printed mould that I scaled up and my small one was a tissue box mould from Amazon (it was like 15 buckaroos). www.thingiverse.com/thing:335019 If you want the big one (if it'll fit your kiln) we can work it out. If so I'll shoot one your way at cost, dm me on discourse or reddit 👈👈
It's the Olympic 129FLE. Bought it from kilnfrog and have been very happy with it. It took me over 4 months to get it due to it being made to order and covid, but that time should be less now

Hey, great video, I actually really enjoyed this!
Thank you glad to hear 😁
I saw the article on Hackaday, and immediately thought of Integza. As soon as I saw the title of the video, I knew I had to watch.
Thanks for the watch 🍻
the metal soundtrack is a nice touch.
good experiment, add wood , is for produce CO2?
If pressurize the during sintering ,wiil it better? just I guess
You should totaly send one to integza.

Metal Uuuupa!!!…hat
Awesome!
Thanks!
Nice video! I'd suggest fewer emojis though. Decoding the meaning in the middle of the text is a little distracting.
Thanks for watching and the feedback, will take that into consideration for the next vid
@@Mr-Highball nah fck that the emojis are golden

PERFECT , 100 POINT ♥
If you had access to a sandblaster I recon the part would clean up nicely
I think so too, just don't have one right now (might have to change that...)
If you have a kiln why not just do lost pla casting?

nice crucible setup! you made those yourself?
I did :)
I've got a massive (relatively speaking) one in the works. I'll share to the discourse
@@Mr-Highball sweet. Wish I could just go to the pottery store and buy ones shaped like that. (wait, can I?)

What kiln is that? I like the size/shape of it.

Fireballs next

i think you can sintering in 48 hour
Please use a little less emojis

@@Mr-Highball also, when are you testing the nozzle. The tolerances look a little off, but I'll still ask

Wasted time..!!
Sorry you feel that way, metal printing not for everyone 🤷♂️
