    I did it, I 3D printed with an actual hot glue gun! Hot glue is fun and all, and I think that this could be useful to combine with regular prints (hot glue infill or support?) when I'm going to use that second portal on that grill plate printer. But I think that printing with material in the shape of rods is what's especially interesting about this. I'm sure that this will enable some interesting use cases! Maybe printing with candle wax🤔 What other materials could we experiment with next?

      Now that you have used the dremel hot glue holder, could you see a successful redesign of your original hot end attempts?

      @@realgoose Good question. I'm currently redesigning the extruder with the insights I got from making this video and I'm pretty excited about it! Regarding the hotend, I need to design something capable of melting this large diameter material without being so long as the glue gun was. I have some great ideas that we're going to explore in future videos!

      Casting wax would have an actual end use case. Typically done with wax blocks and machined on a CNC.

    • @stewiex
      @stewiex 2 месяца назад +5

      I wonder if with your original design you were getting too much back pressure from the compression of the glue sticks. It would be similar to printing with a soft plastic like TPU I'm sure.

      @MumrikDK they are, but the one commercial cartridge one has to be reloaded and remelted, which takes like 20 minutes if I remember right (not less than 15). Smaller cartridges would have more control over the melt and pressure. There was one run by a gear pump that was fed by a chocolate bowl, but they seem to be gone now.
      If someone used this to feed cartridges and a giant silicone sock over the whole thing, they'd have a sweet chocolate setup. That and two heaters.

Scott Crump got the bright idea to make a toy frog for his daughter using a hot glue gun full of plastic and candle wax. That goofy little experiment marked both the birth of the company and the creation of FDM - fused deposition modeling - the technology that forms the basis of most modern desktop 3D printing."

I would say in advance, "I know this isn't the answer or even sound reasonable, but".. Then provide my weird solution and get a ton of grief and laughs. But, in a majority of the cases, somewhere down the line someone would use my idea as a basis and come up with a great solution. Then I would say to the group, "Now where did that idea start?"

    if you are looking for a better drill press, I can recommend the Bosch PBD 40, it is pretty affordable and has many great features.
    however, I would recommend to replace the bearings on the spindle right after buying it, stock configuration is with a needle bearing for the top, and a noname 6002 2RS on the bottom.
    especially the needle bearing is causing a lot of spindle play, replacing it with a bushing or with two miniature ball bearings (MR-128-2RS) eliminates the play.
    I removed the needle bearing with a piece of bread, an 8mm shaft(can use the shank of a drill) and a hammer

    You took it to the Limit and still win and you did not have to modify the glue stick can't wait to be able to print with it in the future🎉

    I would try a lower heating temp, got glue is usually melted at a much higher temperature than necessary so that it flows easily from a hobby tool. You can use a simple SSR to control mains AC with a digital signal. We use them to control the temperature of hot pots sometimes, usually they're bundled with a kit that includes a basic PID controller, so temperature control is kind of their intended usage. Also getting hot glue off your glass bed should be as easy as applying some 99% IPA, you can apply a generous amount to a paper towel and let it soak on to any glob of hot glue, and it should start to lift easily on its own in 10 to 20 seconds (if not, apply more IPA, and try again, it will work). But this also creates another problem, if you clean your print bed with IPA, you will need for all of it to completely dissolve before printing, or your first layer may delaminate from the build plate unexpectedly.
    You can also try 3D printing your own glue sticks out of multiple types of filaments. It's just a cylinder. 🫠

    The end results is actually much, much better than I expected. Usually "less is more", but what a pity your nice extruder did not work out after so many iterations. Temperature control would have been much better, and also safer at 24V as you said. Keep up the great work!

    its like we are returning to the old school days of 3D printing and rediscovering stuff we did back in the reprap mendle days xD. I love this so much.

    You can use masking tape on the bed to keep things in place. as well as heated beds work best at 32*C.
    side note, the best temp for PLA is 212.5 - 214, but the nozzle can hold a constant temperature for 214 at 215*C.
    multiple printers can help reduce workload

    Awesome design, absolutely crazy good! By the way, you can remove hot glue really easy by spraying IPA on the glas plate.

    14:45 the S2 has a humidity problem because it doesnt let out the humidity. you should leave a small gap open so the air can escape.

    When I saw that S on Twitter I don't know why but for dome reason I didn't even think that this will be a seperate video. And when I saw firsts seconds the only think on my mind was - well yeah... That's the One.
    I like you enthusiasm... And I agree 100% on that if something is worth doing,it's worth overdoing. Story of my Life :D

    isopropyl helps with removing hot glue from basically all materials, it creeps inbetween the glue and the thing the glue is on.
    found this video by random chance, really enjoyed it.
