@@Vector3DP there are a few legally obtainable radiation sources that come to mind. "Negative energy" pendants or trinkets from ebay are a pretty easy way to get your hands on... something radioactive. But high likelihood of it being something nasty. Or order a completely legal and mostly benign radioactive sample from any chemical vendor. They'll ship you some barely dangerous rock in a metal box. It works for testing Geiger counters and probably won't give you more cancer than a banana unless you grind it up and inhale the dust (not advisable)

Wouldn't work the way you think it would. Faraday cages work by allowing emf to pass through the metal. Can't do that with particles suspended in plastic
I suppose prepers could use it to build custom Faraday cages. Protect important electronics from EMP's and cronal mass ejection... That is if it's effective.
Yeah, it's definitely a filament more designed for the scientific community. Your project requirements have to be quite unique to warrant tungsten. Unfortunately for me I don't even have the funds to afford a printer 😅😅
Well price always matters, arguably more for a business as they typically have to profit to function. It's also just interesting to compare its price to everyday cheap stuff. Not saying its bad, it just is what it is.
That sounds annoying as fuck that u have to dry it out after ordering it cant it be dry somehow when u receive it? I guess ur not gonna take the risk on ur expensive machine tho
Anything is technically radioactive. You are technically radioactive. There is a non-zero chance of the medium inside a vacuum chamber being radioactive.
You're now in the top 1% of most expensive Benchy owners.
I have a benchy i printed from ultem :D
I had one in Peek🤪 (got lost at work🥲)
Haha thats was my first thought😅
😂
I think Zach freedmen has that record
I can't afford to waste it -> proceeds to print a benchie. Seems legit lol
I'm sure he made his £35 back on this video alone.
Haha, I wish. made more like 35p
@@Vector3DP well, l watched it twice, so doing my part. 😂
Haha legit is there any use for this “benchy” or its just a neat looking piece of junk youd get in a mcdonalds happy meal?
@@Kaetohit’s a torture test benchmark for 3D printing
That's actually something I have a problem with at the lab I work at.
Talk about coincidence, because we're in the market for a printer at work.
Contact me at via my website at Vector3d.co.uk if I can help with your work.
That filament would probably tear up even a hardened steel nozzle. If you were going to use it regularly, you’d probably need a diamondback nozzle.
Rookie numbers, PEEK is like £700 per kg
Pekk is even more expensive
Pkkk is even more-er expensive
Not only is tungsten super expensive but also super heavy meaning the already expensive 1kg roll doesn't even give you that much material 😄
New badass filament comes out and this guy prints a benchy with it.
If you can get some mild radioactive material and measure with a Geiger counter the difference with and without the filament shielding
Haha, I think i'd end up on a list if i tried that.

Thanks that stuff would be great for a lot of industrial work
Sure, tungsten works, but if you're okay with using a slightly thicker material, bismuth would probably be quite a bit cheaper.
And making a radioactive radiation shield would be immensely funny

So hear me out, can you print a hinged box with mesh walls that when you put your phone in it looses reception? Mini printable faraday cage?
Wouldn't work the way you think it would.

@@wilurbean yep, the whole thing needs to be conductive, which I guess it isn't.
Price is pretty decent for a material like that

I shouldn't admit how much i would be willing to pay for this filament.... 🎉❤
You can buy it from Prusament. It is very expensive since its for a specific purpose, not general benchy printing! haha
Yeah, it's definitely a filament more designed for the scientific community. Your project requirements have to be quite unique to warrant tungsten. Unfortunately for me I don't even have the funds to afford a printer 😅😅
Goodbye nozzles😂
It's for medical prototyping. So it shows up on x-rays.
So this means I can’t bring my collection of benchies on an air plane?
That means that you can eat it right? right? Eh.. maybe someone should call an ambulance?
Still, printable shielding? Awesome idea.
Bet that chews up your nozzle real fast.
3d print a demon core. Might be hard to source the last part.
Don't forget to print yourself a screwdriver.
Now imagine an osmium infused filament
How strong is that print? Did you try to break it?
Buy an expensive filament, print a benchy. Sometimes I just don't get 3d printer owners :)).
What nozzle can you even print this stuff on?😅
Thats pretty cool, anyone know about the strength? I gotta look this stuff up
Most expensive 1kg filament cost around 1300eur and it was designed to same thing with radiation
What’s it tensile strength compared to aluminum?
Are...are we going to need radiation shielding soon?
Rip obsidian.
Interesting! (I guess?)
BTW, doesn't your phone have any form of image stabilisation? 😅
No as it turns out 😅 old phone.
I don't know why the price matters. this isn't something for trinkets. when it comes to this kind of thing, if you need it, you need it
Well price always matters, arguably more for a business as they typically have to profit to function. It's also just interesting to compare its price to everyday cheap stuff. Not saying its bad, it just is what it is.
Def shielding you can trust. 😂
Ah, this is for people who think a baking foil hat makes you look crazy.
its like 2.2 pounds per kilo
Part 3 of building a bunker with one prusa 3d printer
That's crazy that can print with 75% tungsten
By weight. By volume? Not much.
RIP print head though.
A 35 Squid benchy? I bet that doesent end up in the bin!
What would you print with a sample of this material?
I'd do a small test circuit. It would be pretty cool if the filament is electrically conductive.
Does it glow like a light bulb?
Lol - I have that same filament dryer. I mean food dehygrator 😂
That sounds annoying as fuck that u have to dry it out after ordering it cant it be dry somehow when u receive it? I guess ur not gonna take the risk on ur expensive machine tho
Screw quickest speedboat challenge. I wanna see most expensive.
I'm curious to know what the HVL of a block of this would be compared to straight tungsten we use in the field.
As far as I know its around 1.4mm
Bet this wears nozzles really fast.
Do you need a different nozzle?
lmao, good buy hardened nozzles!
That's awesome
Why not just use lead
is it possible to burn petg away?
Yes.
Yes! Now the conspiracy theorists can print their hats instead of rolling up foil!
Imagine printing with supports💀
Why u mix imperial and metric? "Pounds per kilo"... smh
£
And how can i get some of this!
From Prusa Research Prusament
If you work with radiation shielding you will know that is a bargain
RIP nozzle
I thought a Kilo was 2.2 pounds???
Wouldn't lead work better and be cheaper
You've 3d printed lead on a desktop 3d printer?
Wonder if it would be suitable for press tooling
Use lead.
Now do xray
What the heck
Tungsten is radio active at low levels

So is granite.
