Gyroid is actually an infill pattern thats completely uniform and symmetric in all 3 axis, so the orientation you print it in shouldn't matter too much
I did a project recently where I printed with gyroid and added sand for weight, it took a long time to add and I thought resin would be an easier way to add weight. This proves the point. Looking forward to seeing the result!
@@peterbrownwastaken Does the pressure pot still leave tiny voids where normal-sized bubbles would have been? A vacuum chamber actually removes the air, but a pressure pot only increases the pressure on the surface of the resin in order to crush the bubbles smaller, right? I also wonder if resin cured in a pressure pot has any permanent internal stresses on it, as the tiny bubbles would be pushing outward on the cured resin once it was returned to normal air pressure.
Ugh! Why couldn't you have put this out BEFORE your last video? I suggested this EXACT idea. Well, I did put in some other ideas to maybe improve on this too.....
Yeah, so much better for handles to start cylindrically. Only issue is that you probably won't see the printed shapes on the sides. Interested to see the finished product.
we need a new series like dip it but fill it. lots of posibilities . could you design your own internal structure like a spiral shape or a series of compartments to get various patterns . or even a sort of sieve design to the seperating sections so that when one colour in one section fills faster than the one beside it there will be over flow and mixing of colours etc.
Glad to see you smartened up and started with a cylinder this time, instead of turning a square and wasting materials and time lol If you play around a bit, you can print a wall around the top to avoid the overflow concern. Make a cylinder longer than you want, and just extrude a smaller cylinder from the top down to the length of the final piece (or "add" a negative part, depending on what software you're using). Make sure the part you leave is a thickness that will make it wall material only. But you'll definitely need to slicer setting to no surface layers, can't just pause the print for this method
Too difficult, you would have to degass it multiple times as that infill creates many potential air pockets. Resin would keep expanding and pouring out, pressure pot seems like way less hassle.
Gyroid should cut the volume into 2 sections. Idk if you can use a small funnel or just a larger gyroid pattern, but it'd be cool to see a different resin in each half. Or only fill one half
In mathmatics, true gyroids do indeed cut into two volumes, but the gyroid infill pattern used by slicers has gaps in its pattern on the horizontals so it's actually one single volume, not two Thats actually a key use case of gyroid, its the infill pattern to use if you need to fill the print
@@peterbrownwastaken I mentioned this in a pretty big reply with tips under the main video yesterday, but one thing that might happen with the pressure pot is that as the resin heats up, the PLA might become flexible and the shape of your infill might deform slightly as any larger trapped bubbles are compressed by the pressure pot. That said, its unlikely to be noticeable unless you are either using clear resin to see into the pattern or you are using an infill pattern with very clean straight lines

If youre gonna put music in, you gotta turn it down
Sorry. I was just sorta breathing on the camera and it was distracting. :)
Nah, he can use NCS music on this and any future video. We approve this. Nice choice.
Agree
You could cover it with your singing you do in your long form videos 😉
@@peterbrownwastaken Use a GWAR song next time to shake things up a bit

Woohoo!! So glad to see this infill used!
Why do I not want music in your vids soooo muuuch,
Haha
I’m with you friend. Love the video but the music was so so loud. Almost turned it off when it came on.
This brings back childhoods memories of “TO BE CONTINUED” episodes…so frustrating!!! 😂
Kidding of course!
You'd be amazed what you can make with that printer. I know this guy named Luigi that knows how to make some cool stuff.
I personally love your videows with chill music I love to hear the sound of ypur tools😊
Cant wait to see how this turns out!!
YES! Perfect color combo!
Putting it on a vibrating pad or ultrasonic cleaner would help speed the fill process and limit bubbles before the vacuum.
would a vacuum chamber work better then a pressure pot for these? at least before putting into the pressure pot?
You can do either. I find the pressure pot to be a set it and forget it thing but the vacuum chamber would work too.

Let's go!
Oh cool, you actually did the infill the way I was curious about. Really interested to see how it turns out.
That was certainly a voice of music you could make for a video

SICKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!! please let me know what resin u use as i would love to try this!
This is Total Boat Thick Set. I show it more in my recent video.
Merry Christmas Peter.

What was once an epoxy channel, became a 3d printing channel, and has now gone full circle to become a 3d printing+epoxy channel.
Now make some pen blanks using this technique! And if you don’t, I will!❤
Very satisfying to watch the you pour the resin and see it sink in.

That is a very clever approach. I’m going to try that!
The colors are cool but I think a clear pour with the infill would be awesome
Just imagine how this would been filled if Peter had a vibrating table/slab
Gotta try a wood pla with it may give a cool wood/resin look
Would the vacuum chamber work better than the pressure pot?

The music was a bit much.
Have you ever tried vibrating it like concrete to try remove bubbles? Does that work for resin?
I haven't. The pressure pot should do most of the hard work.

Remember that January is coming and resin doesn't always corporate the way it's supposed to. It's not your fault, it's just weather changes!
No resin projects in January. Haha
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
What is this?
You forgot the trick with the masking tape!
I totally forgot!
I was rushing to get this done pretty late last night.
So smart to start with circular stock! I didn't even think about that with your last video. Old habits huh?
Totally. A bunch of folks commented that I should do the cylinder and it was like an epiphany. We get so suck in our ways! :)
Hell yeah
i'll rather have no sound than that music
Wow would’ve been so cool if I could’ve seen the result. Not a fan of this.
God I love that song
