Printing with the Makerbot Method X: Success or Failure?
I really put the Makerbot Method X 3D printer to the test in this video. Printing with ESun ABS+ and Makerbot's SR-30 supports, I print a robotic gripper 3D model. I used Makerbot's Labs Experimental Extruder. This model was provided by Makerbot when the Method X first came out. The robotic gripper is a print-in-place model with moveable parts. It really tests the printer's capabilities in terms of dimensional accuracy. Watch to see if I'm pleased or disappointed with the outcome!

3D Printing with the Makerbot Method X
Переглядів 25 тис.3 роки тому
Part 2 of my Makerbot Method X video series. In this video, I try to print various 3D objects. I had some jamming problems until I tried Makerbot's Lab Experimental Extruder. The Labs Experimental Extruder is great and allows you to use your own filament. Also, in this video, I print a object with moveable parts to test the printer's capability in terms of dimensional accuracy. The SR-30 suppor...
Makerbot Method X - Unboxing and My First Experience
Переглядів 5 тис.3 роки тому
Join me on the journey as I learn more about the Makerbot Method X 3D printer. In this video, I unbox the printer, set it up, calibrate/level the build plate, and run the test print that is built into the printer. I am using ABS filament and SR-30 (water soluble) for the supports. Please forgive me for holding my cellphone camera the wrong way! And sorry for the shakes. I was holding my phone i...
3D Printed Go Kart Speed Test #1
Переглядів 1,3 тис.5 років тому
I take the 3d printed electric go kart outside to test its speed! There was some trouble- but nothing that cannot be tuned. 27.5 mph was the maximum speed during today's test. The ultimate goal is to do over 30 mph. So look for that speed test in a future video. Thanks!
3D Printed Electric Go Kart
Переглядів 7 тис.5 років тому
World's first 3D printed electric go kart you can actually drive! This really pushed the limits of FDM printing and many said it couldn’t be done. Others have made large-scale rc 3d printed vehicles, but those are boring! This you can drive! This go kart has a 8 hp continuous electric motor. That's like a 16 hp internal combustion engine! All printed parts are our original designs except for th...
I think you need to print the pieces separately
The stringing and lift are unacceptable from a machine this expensive and proprietary.
Bad design, not a bad printer
This is shit print from a shit printer
I"m here because someone is trying to flip one on Facebook Marketplace for $1500. Seems like a hard pass.
That nob should be a solid shaft. Bad design.
Thanks man I am working on a model in school and I didn't get to see much and the support thread is similar to the regular material so I was afraid it wasn't going to work but having seen this shows me it can get quite white so my model should be ok
Garbage! If you got lift No good! It’s a $5000 machine! My Raise 3D ! Never had lift!
My bambu is 10 times faster than raise3d
I was going to buy one of these but after watching this video and others, I went with the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon and I'm am so glad I did, much better software and unit. I printed for over 20 hours straight the first day I got it and printed parts perfect enough to ship all over the world and I did and all of my customers were happy. $6k for this thing? wow what a rip off! I will be ordering another X1 Carbon very soon.,,,, for 1 6th the price.
Have you had the jam issue again since the newer firmware upgrade? Also, I noticed that you do not use glue on your build plate, now come? I would like to chat w you and exchange notes.
Can you please share all the other files for the go-kart
how you turn this mofoka off? This stupid shit keeps turning right back on
Wow watching your vids (and quite a few others) has cemented my decision to look elsewhere. I love the look of this printer but my god it's an incredible amount of money for something that prints much less reliably than printers costing a few hundred bucks. I'll keep looking.
Can you print out but doesn't have the SR-30?
How can you set up the camera?
The build tape for this printer is very expensive. Any one found a cheaper alternative?
Have you tried the blue painters tape ? back in the days before heat bed is common, they were using those blue painters tape. but it only works for PLA
It's probably the same stuff as Buildtak or any of its china alternatives.
Raises 3D better!
Well is does print ABS verywell, my issue is the price of build tape. i just spent $95 for 3 sheets
For a printer that expensive, which prints that slow, those layers look utterly appalling. Is that just how ABS prints? I swear I get neater prints on my CR-X with PLA or PETG, than on that print. :/
Figure it out?
Even tough material did not work .
Ever get the damn knob solved?=
Ever get it solved? That damn knob?
What did ya do about the knob that100% always falls off
Well you can make that a keychain in the end
Ya
What did the ABS and supports test print smell like. I know PLA kind of smells like corn syrup.
You don't want to breathe in the ABS my brother. Vent it.
SR-30 has a very peculiar smell. Almost similar to solder fumes but more plastic-like.
Seriously disappointing print!
How loud is it? I live in an apartment with bad insulation. Is it still a feasible option or would my neighbors complain?
Maybe buy more common 3d printer than this one. There are many other good & cheap option
Buy a prusa smaller cheaper and better quality prints that this garbage
Does anyone know how you set the printer to print without support material?
MakerBot is garbage.
What is the agitator tank you are using for dissolving the support? Is it commercially available? Thank you so much for the great video.
The raft is already lifting at thr corner. That is very poor
Mine did not lift at all. But not times the knob falls off
Your video would improve significantly if you used a tripod for the camera. Your handheld camera is not good at all.
Im tryna make my own but one thing i cant seem to find is the battery! Any idea where i can get it from
Hey do you know how to fix error 80 I’ve done lots os searches and can’t figure it out.
Yeah , but your favorite printer is still a Prusa
Channel content is great, thank you. Very much appreciate your reviews. Subscribed. Would be nice if you'd not need to hold your phone in one hand while juggling with the other. Use a phone holder/stand or use a proper video camera?
$6k for garbage print quality... this is what you call highway robbery
thank god someoen else shows using this printer. we got one , and have had nothing but problems with it here at work.
I wonder if the issues you encountered can be traced to the MakerBot materials. I wish that they would allow the user to load proprietary materials into their humidity controlled chambers, instead of just externally. Also, for the CarbonFiber materials, I wish that their extruder nozzles were larger than 0.4 mm.
Any chance you could do some fine measurements and let us know how the dimensional accuracy was (they claim +/- 0.2mm). The axle breaking was not the printers fault, those axles should be 100% parts and the rest of the claw should be an infill much higher, like at least 75%. Not sure why MakerBot would provide a 3D model like this to print that doesn't have solid axles and a recommended set of settings to use for best results (like not doing a 20% infill). The take aways I see from this video are: - good to see the method x actually printing (slower than I expected) - mostly clean printing process and no stated clogs or issues - the part looked good (except I think I saw some pinholes on some of the gear teeth that were a little concerning) - I didn't see any warping of the part (I think that lifting of the left tip was due to no bed adhesive being used and maybe some bed/enclosure/nozzle temp tweaking to be done (which tells me the MakerBot extruder and filament defaults aren't perfect at least for ABS) - Seemed to be quiet during printing but with no decibel readings during the video hard to tell - interface to the machine looked great and closer to Industrial level coaching that you would expect) - did I mention above it seemed to print slower than I expected, but I did like the print quality for the most part (as good as you can tell from a phone recorded video being streamed compressed, being consumed on a phone ;-). )
Most DIY printer kits for 5x less print 10 x much better and 3x faster .By the sounds of the stepper motors,they didn't even install good stepper drivers like trinamics. I would call this customer daylight robbery, shame Makerbot!
Thanks for posting this. I have been using the method x with the included filaments and SR-30, and they work fine with very few issues. However, I tried a print with the esun ABS+, the same stuff you are using here, along with the SR-30 and the experimental extruder and my SR-30 is just not sticking to the ABS+, causing all kinds of printing issues. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hmmmm interesting. I do know that in the printing settings you can adjust the geometry of the support structure. And you can adjust how the supports interface with the model. Look at your print preview and see if anything needs to be adjusted.
@@coolteched7572 The problem seems to be the "stickyness" of the SR-30 to the esun ABS+. I changed the Makerbot filament to the esun and the SR-30 just won't stick, whereas with the makerbot ABS there is very little problem with the SR-30 sticking to it. Had to go back to the makerbot abs filament for now. Thanks
You left it in there too long
do you mean the hot water? Maybe...though I have had little or no trouble leaving other parts in hot water
It’s Garbage
from a 4000€ printer with filament you can only purchase from makerbot and software you can only use from makerbot i expect a machine that just spits out perfect prints every time. no print profile adjustment should be needed. but once again makerbot proves that they produce crap and are just money addicted halfbrainers.
yep! I enjoy tinkering with them so I don't mind. I'm crazy- i know!
that print quality is absolutely garbage, thanks for saving me a lot of money
ha!
My god I was thinking the same thing lol
I still can't understand how the idle hotend isn't oozing. My tool changers tools ooze so much...
when the hotend is idle the temp is dropped to like 180 C or something similar...
what support material did you use with ABS? also that white-cyan is such a gorgeous combo
support material was SR-30. This is a material developed long ago by Stratasys (Stratasys own Makerbot)
how is the idle hotend not oozing over the print?!
It's idle and the temp is turned down when it's not printing
What was the overall length of time it took for it to print this out for you? I heard the time it was done, but not when you started, would be great to know to get a sense of output speed relative to the complexity of that claw. Thanks!
I can't remember! But it was a lengthy amount of time. Prints take longer on this Makerbot because between each nozzle swap, the non-printing extruder's temp is lowered. So both nozzles are constantly cooling / heating up. This can be adjusted in the printer's settings, however
The display showed 1 day 2 hours and change, so 26 hours and change
