Nearly all my friends jumped on 3d printing 9 years ago when it first came out. They all have dumped at least 10k if not more into filliment, upgrades, nozzles, new chassis, axis motors etc. What have they made- Desk toys of single colors after thousands of hours of practice. The ratio of people who actually USE a 3d printer for like real development to the people who make toys is like 1:200k
I think most people become discouraged because learning CAD and creating something that's not already on Thingiverse is a lot to bear after the hundreds of hours of calibrating the printer... 😅.
I make prosthetic for animals with mine. Learning blender isn't hard for modeling tbh. And 10k is insane, I probably have $1000 all in including filament that I've used over the last year.
4:30 smooth as Duck xD btw you can speed up the process ~ 4-6x by using a small heatsource inside of the acetone bath ( Lamp or Resistor), tested method. or use a airtight container and pull a small vacuum with a big syringe so acetone vapories even better.
The vacuum idea is nice. I have been wanting to build an acetone vapor "airbrush" essentially something to boil the acetone like a low powered kettle and a small tube to "paint" the vapor onto parts.
"And also look the wheel inside" *UA-cam algorithm identifies it as a phallic shape and demonetizes the video* BTW, the experimentation process was excellent. Kudos.
Note that temperature is a quite important variable. If you look up a table of acetone vapor pressure, you can see between 20 and 30c there is double the acetone concentration in the air. Also at higher temps the effect for a given amount of acetone is greater, cause the plastic molecules will be more mobile in general. You notice this a lot with pla and ethyl acetate. I thought it was a useless process; but the boiling point of EA is quite a bit higher then acetone. Put it in a bath of warm water to get it closer to its BP, and suddenly many brands of pla smooth just fine. You want to have a lot of solvent in the air. If you work with low solvent concentrations, you dont just melt the surface; the solvent has time to diffuse through your whole part, and rather will make it uniformly rubbery (and eventually molten), than selectively molten. Working with temps just under the boiling point of the solvent is generally ideal I think.
Nice video. I usually sand my prints smooth then boil acetone on an electric stove in a glass top pot. Then once there is vapor condensation on the lid I remove the lid and dip the part into the vapor cloud and it instantly glosses the part up. This also significantly decreases the time requirement for degassing / drying. As little as 30 minutes later the part is completely usable. Its also worth noting that I do not use much acetone. Maybe 50ml or at most 100ml. P.S. If you decide to do this method and use a lot of acetone and spill it you could have a serious fire hazard on your hands so only use the amount you need to fill the pot with vapor. Minimal. You can always boil more if you run out. If you ignite the acetone on accident and do not spill it you can simply put a lid on the pot and it will self-extinguish. Keep a fire extinguisher handy just in case.
Hello friend I am a 14 years boy named Aditya.kalola from india and I have been engaged in 3d printing with my ender3 since a year or so and I always wanted to try this. Thank u so much
Hello mate, well it's great to hear that even a bit younger people are interested in something like 3D printing. Now u can try this out, it's not hard at all, just be a bit careful working with acetone, wear glows and protective glasses. A lot of videos are coming soon, soo stay tuned! ;)
Wow, I'm also 14 years old, have the ender 3 pro, and am Indian. But I am in America. I saw your youtube videos just now. I also have some youtube videos, but I made them many years ago when I was very young. Try 3d printing an airsoft gun, to go with your modded nerf guns. I used PLA to print my gun, but I am slowly replacing some of the high-stress parts with PETG prints. I will upload a video soon.
Thank you. Very good channel. Is it really necessary to use a box so big? Or do you think that I can use an external box smaller, let's say, of one liter, to little objects like one of your boats? AND, do you know another substance to replace Acetone (in my country it's impossible to find it, it's forbidden). Thanks again.
if you want you can also use a larger fan and run it with a 5v power supply or a powerbank via usb: it runs slower, makes less noise and you don't have to replace or charge the battery 🤷🏼♂️
Well.. I should have watched the video more careful. Built everything, start vaporing 1 hour.. 2... 3.. nothing really happened. Just saw its don't work with PLA ._.
I just ruined one print. Luckily It was small amount of plastic and a small print. I tried the hanging towels in tupperware... with acetone on them. But my part was a big flat square so edges all curled :( I now know how to do one that will likely work with air motion. Thanks! :)
hey there how do you print with abs filament with ender 3 because recently I bought a spool of abs but I am having a problem with sticking the print with the bed every time I try to print something it just gets off my bed despite my bed leveling being perfect
ABS is a bit more difficult to print then PLA, but to make this stick to the bed u have to heat your bed 110C (Ender 3 can do it easily) and use a glue stick or hairspray if u have a glass bed.
After trying different type of ABS, they have worked all of them perfectly, the one I was using first was the problem, make sure that you are using the right ABS
I wanted to see a close-up of the Fan after so many hours blowing acetone vapor 😃

This is the 2nd of your videos that I'm watching and not only am I a subscriber but I'm a Fan ;) . Thanks for the amazing content.
use brushless fan or your house will explode easy
What about just spraying them with acetone?
Excellent video with thoroughly tested samples with clear conclusions.
Congratulation keep on posting 😉

@@omkamat9797 thanks for this comment
"im really close to 1k subs" who would guess that the UA-cam recomendation Gods would bless you so much.......
replace the 9v battery with an adapter its cheaper durable and environmental friendly (no empty batteries to throw away)
Sjors de bruijn it’s only 9v it will be fine
I like your accent and how you make jokes. It's pretty funny. Not to mention that I like 3D printing and hope to buy one soon..

For PLA , ABS ,PETG ??????? Which one ????
ABS
This is a very important question !!!
Nice one keep it up bro....
Well.. I should have watched the video more careful. Built everything, start vaporing 1 hour.. 2... 3.. nothing really happened. Just saw its don't work with PLA ._.
De donde eres ;)?
Its pla or abs
Do you have a website where you share your print files you use?
Which material did you use for 3D prints? PLA? ABS?
he used abs, he said so kind of at the end of the video
@letsprint make sure your fan has good connections or you’ll blow you face off
Try for the (90 minutes== 1hour 30 minutes)
So, 1h 15m or 1h 30m sounds good for me
How do you handle the prints as you take them out of the Acetone bath?
Nice video! What plastic are the boats printed with?
Thank u! 🙏 ABS, other material will not react with acetone.
Just a comment for the algorithem
I did this with a 80mm 12v fan running on 3.5v for 60 minutes in a smaller box. No difference with the parts, looked exactly the same.
I just ruined one print. Luckily It was small amount of plastic and a small print.
I tried the hanging towels in tupperware... with acetone on them. But my part was a big flat square so edges all curled :(
I now know how to do one that will likely work with air motion.
Thanks! :)
Sir, which machine you are you are using to make plastic material
Please say me
Hello, I am using two different 3D printers (Creality CR-10s and Ender 3). These benchy boats in this video are printed out with CR-10s.
And the material is ABS!
I just disaprove the 9v battery, it is high cost low capacity, better go to a power supply.
how many times I can use the same acetone in same setup ?
Usefull to me
By
Indian
I was looking for the effects of time on these. Wonder if you can brush on the acetone for short time if that would do anything.
4h is like puffy sticker
This is cool mate, i will try this.
Buddy, ever heard about "food line" If that box reacts with acetone, you got a bigger problem than just that...
Smooth like my Duck ! 😂🤗😇👍🦆Good bro, I like ur ideas . 🛸
nice video :)
What is the brand of the ABS filament? (company)
Did you ever figure out what was causing the layer lines? Vibrations from the motors, screw with the print in my experience.
What types of fillament did you use?
0:48 I would use a 12v adapter.
what if we use pla
Where did you/he get the BLACK HOT GLUE from ?
Does this work with ASA please?
what filament did you use? pla? abs? Pegs? o_o
I'd like to see how much time you need to smooth out super quality prints (0.12mm).
I was like why the heck would you do it but the effect is awesome, very interesting :)
1 hour was the best and Beautiful because it was sharp and smooth
What no 24 hr piece of melted plastic? XD
Liked, subscribed, and Shared. No 3d printer yet, but I have a Prusa Mini kit on the way. . . in 6 weeks.
smooth as duck !!!.....ha ha haha....you made my day bro!!
if 1h is right and 2h is too much what about 1:30? I would have loved to see it.
What type/brand acetone do you use? and how much is required?
Verry nice, thank you!
Smooth as quack. That was funny as quack.
Smooth as duck bro!! Thanks for sharing
Cool thing is this with abs? is it possible with pla?
Is this for ABS? or can I use this for ABS?
I wonder about 1 hour and half
Good bro, I like ur ideas, can u make Smart Car Robot Gear Motor ?
That's a nicer simple bhut effective box. I'm just getting started in 3D printing. Is this method also useful for PLA?
It says at 2:46 Only ABS. Also in another video I saw that PLA turns to liquid by doing this
@@patfre Not quite the sentence is not clear. Wayne's workshop shoews how to do it.
liked the duck
Thank you

No, it is ABS
@@GeekDetour
what if we use pla
I followed the tutorial exactly, and I left the model for more than 24 hours without any noticeable results, am not sure what I am missing.
After trying different type of ABS, they have worked all of them perfectly, the one I was using first was the problem, make sure that you are using the right ABS
Does this work on pla?
take some english classes
