This 3D PRINTABLE Extruder works with TIMING BELTS!

- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- In this video I show an experimental 3D printer extruder which uses GT-2 timing belts to push the filament. This doesn't require a spring-system which makes this easier to print. This is the first video of a series in which I'm going to experiment and explore extrusion techniques. To make stronger 3D printed parts.
I 3D printed everything out of high-performance engineering resin by 3DResyns on an Anycubic Photon Mono X 6K resin printer. This went very well once tuned in correctly!

3DResyns contacted my about the thick Nylon-like resin and it turns out that they sent a HV High Viscosity version tuned for high light power DLP printers. They’ll send me a new bottle with LV Low Viscosity version, for non-heated printers and for low light power LCD printers. For the next resin video I’ll make those gears out of this stuff! Happy 2022!
That's very encouraging news! It's great you had plans to solve the heated chamber issue, but even better that it was just a resin mix-up and no workaround is necessary.
I have to say though, the comedy and relatability of unmet expectations in the storytelling was so entertaining 🥲
Any idear of when we will be able to download the stl files for this?
Love the feeder concept!
Thanks Stefan! Now the real testing begins :D
@@properprinting I'd like to see some speedprinting with this! I'm interested how good slipping performance is without spring tensioners and your solution. Also, a tensioner using a screw to pull back a pulley ( like cheap corexy tensioners) for the belt could be awesome! Keep this idea going, maybe I will make one of my own of these. If you could share the cad files too, that would be
When are you guys doing a video or project together?
@@joelpeterson3894 I want to see Stefan testing this extruder setup for performance
Hi Stefan, would be interesting having those quite expensive resin going through your tests ;-)
What on earth did I just watch? It was cinematography, engineering, 3D printing, and ASMR. Bravo! Beautiful job!
That build was cathartic, to say the least. Filmography level 100.
Thank you! Resin prints just deserve a little extra work to be shown nicely :)
Besides the inspired and excellent design of the extruder, this has to be one of the most satisfying videos I've seen in a while. The close-up shots along with the rotating angles were almost visual ASMR, I love the attention to detail.
Very professional from beginning to end. 👍
Thanks for this awesome comment! I was pretty late in the process of making the video when I got the idea of making it this way :D The curing chamber sparked the idea
@@properprinting Credit where credit is due, dude. Keep up the fantastic work, your contributions to the community are very much appreciated.
you never fail to amaze me with your original and unique designs and builds.
So true
To be fair, the earlist I've seen such a design with a belt driving the filament is from 2016, though only with one belt and a printed wheel.
I will post the stl-files on my website, but I have to do more testing together with some improvements first. I want to find out the durability of those belts (by printing something large and cool). This is the start of something awesome and suggestions are welcome!
als je onderdelen van Aluminium wilt hebben, wil ik je daar wel mee helpen. Ik woon(redelijk) in de buurt.
The resin prints you did. Did the holes for the screws and nuts just come out in perfect dimensions or did you have to drill and clean them out? I'm guessing not, and that's amazing.
I had a thought for the belts, do you think you could print them from like tpu or other flexible filament? Are there flexible materials for resin printers?
I was thinking maybe draft them in a circle shape and use a large nozzle in vase mode to get the most consist print. Even with well calibrated linear advance/pressure advance, it'd be nearly impossible to get a belt printed that was exactly the same thickness all the way through.
When dealing with retractions, speed changes, layer changes, etc there's always a bit of variation in wall thickness, for some things it may not matter if the thickness changes, but here it would.
I really liked the extruder you made though, it has inspired me to try learning cad again, hopefully it goes better than my previous attempts😅 thanks for the vid!
@@Eddy_AREA99 OK dat is tof! Ik zal het onthouden, bedankt :D
@@josephbodhorn6511 Thanks for your awesome comment! I drilled the holes for the screws and the filament path because that was easier. The bearings and inserts fitted without modifications (after a couple of attempts to be fair). There are flexible resins and this Nylon-like resin is flexible below a certain thickness. The only problem being that this stretches too and therefore timing belts have fibers in them. Awesome that I inspired you to learn CAD again. This is so useful!

i think you must patent this. you probably could sell it to prusa or other manufacturers because it's so innovating as an idea.
patent it before someone stoles your idea and makes money on it
Nothing short of genius, there is a lot of mileage in your new design, I can see this really take off.
You are the perfect man to design a CoreXY direct drive extruder that is driven by the xy belts. Double belts
That thing is a work of art. I like how it is modular and self-aligning--reminds me of your quick tool changer design.
Thanks! The idea is to make a changeable adapter mount for it ;)
Amazing! Love the design, and how you show how many iterations and frustrations one goes through while attempting to innovate!
Congrats! I've always wondered if a belt/rubber wheel system would work and not strip filament. In the early days I was always told they would slip but I used machines for years that use rubber wheels to move sheets of paper that were so tight you /had/ to disconnect them to clear any paper from the track. Looking forward to seeing more!
It's actually used on the Anisoprint 3D printers for the continuous carbon fiber extruder. It works well for the fiber which has a very small diameter (0.35mm). It's also fully 3D printed but with FDM parts.
Continuous fibre is an application that will bring fdm printed parts to the next level of strength and applications.
Love to follow up on this to make it available for us tinkerers.
I didn't know that, awesome! I really want to make this technique available for cheap on a standard printer. This enables so much possibilities!
@@properprinting I'm in vacation right now. I will send you a few pics once I get back.
@@ShikaGinto awesome! Have a nice vacation!
Wow, the fitup of all the parts was so satisfying. Designed really well!
It's like watching a Swiss timepiece being created. Just beautiful
My first time seeing this channel and I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS! The filming. The humor, the engineering
This is an absolutely great project, respect for your efforts and inventiveness. Keep it up to be a fan.
This is awesome. I sketched a design like this last year and think about it from time to time. Glad to see a working design 👍
Awesome work and idea! I bet retraction would be improved using belts too. Less filament cracking and or breaking as well. I'm new to the channel and enjoy watching and learning. I love how you are not afraid to show and admit errors and or mistakes too. This is how UA-cam should be! Well done sir! Well done!!
Thanks a lot! Mistakes are an important part of the process, without them it would be to easy and nothing new will happen ;) We'll explore the capabilities of this extruder :D
It’s nothing short of beautiful. Fantastic video.
You are my hero. I've already used a few of your designs on my Enders to great effect and your approach to solving problems inspires me. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you, that's so awesome!
Awesome idea Jon. Cannot wait to see it come to fruition, already pretty badass though!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Amazing work!
So glad to see someone make this thing... I've only talked about this very idea for a couple years...
I didn't want to watch your video all the way through..
not at all..
not.. at.. all..
But damn I couldn't resist.. this thing is magical!
Incredible dedication and craftsmanship!
This is freaking brilliant and the production quality and sense of humor is great!
Bloody brilliant Jon🤩
Been printing for almost 5 years. How did I not know about this channel?! This video is epic and the belt extruder is very interesting. New fan
Brilliant idea and execution. You have demonstrated the benefits of 3D printing technology and improved 3D printing with a stroke genius!!!
Thank you so much! I've been skipping any resin vids but of course, can't skip yours, it is always fun and full of real info. So, my first look at what resin printing is like. thanks again.
Thanks for not skipping! I like to explore it's capabilities and in the end, this is for an FDM printer ;)
So rad. I love the work you do man!
Cool looking back on this, started as an idea, became a thing, and then someone took it and made it even better. Papilio just entered public beta, and its a "refined" version of this, shrunk down, and adapted to use the same extruder mount as the sherpa/lgx lite. One of the unique changes is the drive gears for the belt of the Papilio are like a hobbed gear, so the belt is actually contacting more of the filament, and it stays in the path nicely. Not to mention it's a lot smaller in lighter. Either way, thanks for being one of the first people to actually try it, its fair to say it was inspired from yours. Keep up the good work, and keep trying things!
My last conversation with Sanjay was about this exactly! I will miss those conversations.
You're kidding. That's very, very awesome
Love the effort not only in the design of the project but the editing of the video, great job!
Thank you very much!
Very cool, very original project. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series. And speaking of original, I think this is the first extruder assembly ASMR I’ve seen/heard.
Thanks Joe! It was my first ASMR attempt I'm glad it's perceived as such!
I did an experiment with something similar a year ago. The original idea I had was to make an extruder that looked like two tank tracks facing each other. I started out over thinking it a lot though, thought I needed a CNC machine to make the "gears" but I ended up using pressure just like you. However I moved on to other things before I could make tensioning work properly. Really cool video and always fun to see your projects! Can't wait for the next one!
Dude, you are mad genius. Great video. Keep the experiments coming!
Nice take on a belt driven extruder this is pretty interesting and avoids the bending of the filament like in other concepts
Remarkable Jon. You never cease to amaze me with your ideas and commitment to 3d printer engineering. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year👍🏻
Thanks Andy! A Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you too!
Congratulations to the successful design. I'm looking forward where this project goes.
Great idea and great bump music, man!
Thanks for sharing.
I was waching mihai's video about inconsistant extrusion. This was the solution i was thinking could fix the issue. nice to see you putting in the work and testing this
keep up the good work
You've just started something huge in the scene man. Great job.
Sick video dude, production quality is on point, the project was awesome to watch and your humor is great :) keep it up man!
This looks amazing.
It also looks like a solution to a problem I have with the extruder teeth damaging the filament from rapid retraction/extrude cycles.
Also looks like a fix for Anycubic's extruder being so fussy to thread with new filament. I can almost never get it past the tube that catches it in the back without getting it jammed in the gears.
Omg this was amazing, top tier video!
Impressive Idea
Great project
Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us 🙂
I am actually shocked of the quality of your videos. Many big youtubers don't even come close to yours! Love it!
Thank you! I like to put some extra effort into this and I'm so happy that this is noticed and mentioned!
Wooow how cool is that man! Love it!
This video is insanely well done!! 😊
Awesome work on the assembly segment, looks great!
Thank you! I went with a different approach this time and I'm happy how it turned out :D
Amazing work, man!
Perseverance is key ;) Nice video and extruder concept ! :D
That’s an awesome idea. 👍. I am gonna make one soon. Thanks for sharing 💕
Congrats on the Hackaday article, man! Well deserved! Well if I'm being honest, most your videos deserve one!!
Thank you! It's so awesome to end up there and they already made some articles of my work. I'm very grateful for that :D
Subscribed, because of the awesome closeups and video editing alone! Really looking forward to what your plans are with this extruder!
Thanks for your sub! Right in time for something awesome :D
You always came out incredible idea and made your imagination into a well-made products. 👍🏻
This idea is really cool
I like when you tightened the one bolt for the bearing that you had to back it out just a smidge. You are now human and not a god of youtube. Thank you for this.
props dude, like the thinking!!
Sick design!
Great work!
Made my day when I saw you posted a new video👌🏼
REAL scientists record their fails too
Well DONE
Awesome content dude!!
no way. I had the same idea but not time to make it. Brilliant that you've made it happen!
So cool that more people say this exactly! I recon this must be a good idea then :D
Amazing. Such great job! Those promo for extruder. It must be on ART gallery, looking like it can achieve oscar!
Man, keep going like that!
it's very similar that i've been thinking / working on. Great video, I think this design has a great potencial! :)
People like you keep the wheel on turning. Thank you!
Amazing design
We hebben even moeten wachten maar het resultaat mag er zijn! Wat een geweldige video! Vooral het stuk waar je alles aan het opbouwen bent is heerlijk om naar te kijken.
Bedankt Wim!
I've been wondering why there hasn't been any similar extruders around, the idea seems so ingenious :D
It seems like an obvious solution. Interesting thing is that quite a lot of people mentioned having this idea
That is some super thick resin!
It's insane!
I’ve been looking for an excellent extruder for my delta printer.
I absolute love this.
I believe I’ll print this and use this extruder!!!
Great job dude!
Thanks, that'd be awesome! I'll post an update once the first version can be downloaded :D
Thanks, that'd be awesome! I'll post an update once the first version can be downloaded :D
This was a fascinating watch and I am immediately mentally disassembling it and seeing how I would build it. You may have just pioneered an entire branch of extruder design and I cannot wait to see how this grows.
There are already attempts on this
@@REDxFROG naturally, and yet this is the first attempt that myself and many many others have seen, contributing to its potential growth and development.
Very nice implementation!
I've been using a selfmade belt extruder for 4 years. Its still going strong. Its way more bulky than yours though.
Im surprised yours works without a tensioner. Mine has a friction sweet spot that needs to be dialed in (grip vs motor power needed). I was really worried at first that the friction would change over time, but it seems to be really stable.
This is so good to know, thanks! It did skip at that extreme purging step at the start of that test print (the stock extruder did too) and I still have to add tensioners. Well, I added them but they tensioned it too much. It worked with the FDM printed version out of ABS, but because the PMMA-like resin is so much stiffer, it didn't bend as much causing too much tension. I'm glad yours seems stable, this gives hope :D
I love your video production style!
Thanks, I really appreciate that :D
I had similar idea, but i was too lazy to even start, you are doing amazing work, thanks!
That's so awesome! It turns out that there were more people with this idea and didn't actually make it. I didn't expect that and it's pretty funny actually. Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching the whole video, nice job dude
Glad you did, thanks!
Absolutely amazing, been meaning to become a Patreon supporter for a while and this reminded me to get it sorted.
Thanks a lot Daniel for becoming a Patreon supporter! I hope you like the whole idea :D
I love this idea! You kind of just gave me an alternate path to think about, other than just playing with different gear ratios. Your attention to detail is wonderful, with the nut-cap and all.
I think an interesting question would be if you could introduce controlled deflections of the belt-filament interface region, either by adding a middle idler to curve the interface region in shallow arc, or by creating a compound curve by interleaving the two sets of idler wheels across the interface region, such as by offsetting the two sets of idler wheels vertically, and across the interface plane a little.
Whether or not you think that has more potential than the "pusher" flanges you added, I am excited to play with this!
This is super awesome.
Well Done - the precision of your work is amazing, coming from an electronics engineer!
Thanks! I started as a precision mechanic ;)
God what a gorgeous design! interested to see how this develops!
Has been a while since I was last called by my real name xD We'll find out!
Wow! Weldone bro. I used a roadbike inner tube glued into a printed hub and a lever pressed against the filament and the rubber roller a quarter round. It works only my filament is fed horizontally from the side.😂 . Small slim & lightweight simple. Grip is really good and lightweight. There’s is no bite marks on the filament.😂 Thanks for sharing yours ❤
Great video and good idea. This videos take long to make but I really like them and are worth waiting, besides that I learn a few things too while I am having fun watching them.
Thanks for this comment! You just pointed out what I try to achieve with my videos :D
It’s Beautiful !
fantastic - a great design :)
fantastic Idea of design, I love the Timing belt that pushes the filament on both sides. The filament will be preserved and not grinded by the gear teeth. I think it works nice!!!! bravo!
Cool project 👍
Amazing work. After seeing recent experiments by Vector3D and MihaiDesigns about the artifacts introduced by even the smallest amount of inconsistency in dual drive extruders I'm convinced that your design needs as much attention as it can get. Kudos, sir.
Love this. I too dreamt of an extruded like this. My idea was to glue sand paper to the outside of the belts to add extra grip.
This is excellent. You need to have a simple spreader on the belts the same as the belt driven tractors that are made now to provide tension.
This would be ideal for production on the belt extruder unit. The color looks fine. A copper tone is a nice structure.
You are doing the right thing with this innovation. Keep working on variations and this will become a simple and highly functional filament handling mechanism.
Love the music man, and the editing style is supper cool.
Omggggf and the shots and angles yoy took were perfect felt like I was watching a release trailer for a new product for a min
this is very impressive
Thumbs up for you, dude! Like your videos! Cheers!
Nice design. I have been thinking about a similar tank drive extruder design for some time. Great minds think alike
Thanks! I would love to print and run this! I hate that every extruder uses sharp gears and deforms the filament. Thanks for all the hard work!!!!
i thought about doing something like that too. cool design and great video like always👍
Thank you! It seems to work pretty good :D
Man your videos are outstanding what an extruder
Thank you! I'm so happy how it turned out :D
