There's also the Mcor printers that actually use paper. Similar to the layers of plastic it uses sheets of paper that are cut to the right shape and each new layer is glued to the stack below. Just like with the powder this needs no support material. This also can be printed in full color. Back in 2013 Mcor and Staples said they would be working together to do printing in stores but then I never heard anything more about it.
This is an awesome video!! Very didatic : ) So much changed since university! 2010 was the first time I had my hands on the powder one! We also learn all the different types of printers back then. The resin ones are amazing but I tottaly agree that PLA is the best for home environment.
I really like this. I've been wanting to make a video about the different types of 3D printing, and why you should use some over other vs their disadvantages. This is a great video to show people why 3D printing is so versatile and important in the big and small production industry. Great job, dude. Also, I'm not sure how feasible it is for you to do, or if you'd even want to, but I own a Form2, and I haven't noticed nearly as many problems with it that you pointed out with your kit printer, so if you have the chance, maybe take a look into it.
I just picked up a Monoprice Mini v2 and have been bingeing your videos. Some of the stuff you're doing is just incredible! Makes me want to send this back and get a Tevo Tornado, hah. Keep up the amazing work!
Excellent points on the drawbacks of each printing technique. It seems like the messiness of SLA and SLS, and the post-processing are usually overlooked in comparisons of technologies, which just go over how detailed each one is. I still find it amazing that after decades of injection molding being out of reach, that we're all looking at extremely complex machines that don't require molds, and either planning to, or waiting for the (sometimes likely, as with SLA) point where we can build or buy them, and make one-off parts literally in-house. Even if I never have a DMLS robot making tools in my workshop, we're still seeing a revolution in how we look at manufacturing.
I know I'm late, but I think that they're from the nozzle oozing plastic strips while not printing. I only have a single colour printer, so that's only a guess.
That was great, I know nothing about the different systems really, but I know much more now thanks to you. I think the powder and SLA is too messy to make it, but the color layer by layer of the last 2 skulls is probably the future. Fdm is just the hinges on the door that opens up for the best 3d printer to emerge. Thanks.
I started using RainX on my PDMS and my FEP vats, and it's crazy how much difference it's made. The PDMS and the FEP are both lasting longer, and the prints are releasing MUCH easier. RainX is PDMS based but with some additives that for some reason just work really well for SLA applications.
I've been using the PolyJet printer! Removing the waterjet support is so satisfying xD It's like a jelly! The stuff is also really good for machining because they are solid. You can also print rubber materials and mix the rubber with other harder materials to create different hardness/stiffness polymers!
Make Anything // 3D Printing Channel I'm actually a student at university on placement, so I'm working at a GE site for a year! I'm really interested in AM so I'm always in that department at uni too, and I know they just got a DMLM printer there! Got to play around with the SLA printer we had at uni as well, but not as cool as the polyjet one.
Thanks! That was really interesting and informative. I know absolutely NOTHING about any of this stuff, but I keep hearing/reading about 3D printing and it was getting annoying because nobody ever explains exactly how it works or - more importantly - what materials are used. They make it sound like it just comes out of thin air. So now I see the different materials you can use, but I do still wonder where you get them and what they cost, etc. Not because I ever see myself doing this - just because the idea is interesting to me and it bugs me not to really understand what it entails. So thank you for such an informative video. It helped me understand it a lot more!
Also depending on your needs, you can get filament printers for under 200 bucks now, with a print bed of 11*11*11 centimeters. Similar sized liquid resin printers have also gone down in price lately and you can get them for around 300 for the cheapest models(but obviously adding to that you need some UV curing station and isopropyl alcohol for washing the prints, latex gloves, etc etc) Cheap printing is possible for home use for anyone these days.
To give a better idea of the possible materials to use with FDM, you should've mentioned there are also nylon, metal and wood filaments as well. Thanks for the great videos.
Hi Devin, Cris here, just wanted to tell you that your program reminds me of "hodge podge lodge", it was an arts and crafts type of show that I remember to this day and even learned a few things from it. Do you know how are you hear a theme song and you know exactly what it's for, that's exactly what you're into it was like. Excellent intro please don't ever change it. Keep up the great videos. You're a good guy!
I saw a printer mentioned somewhere that used paper. It would use a standard ink jet to color the paper then glue it onto the previous ones. I think it used a laser to cut the paper sheet free before spooling out more paper to make the next layer. It looked really vivid in color, but i've never seen it mentioned since.
I feel as if there needs to be a machine to remelt the 3D printing material so if you mess up on a print or have excessive support material you can just throw it in the machine and it creates filament to use once more so you can cut down on waste and I feel like it'd be better on the environment because most filaments aren't biodegradable.
@@ChrisOnline1987 Via Google "Poly(lactic acid) or polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a biodegradable thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable biomass, typically from fermented plant starch such as from corn, cassava, sugarcane or sugar beet pulp." Can't be too bad can it ?
I work at a commercial 3D printing place and love working with Polyjet prints! they are so detailed (not to mention you can combine flexible and hard resins in one print!) and the support jelly is pretty satisfying to remove. SLS is perfect for more structural/detailed prototypes and my choice for majority of stuff. Polyjet is amazing for realistic prototypes but is very expensive. It's WAY better than SLA or DLP though. Metal printing on the other hand... As cool as it is, it's such a pain to work with and is SO hideously expensive (In Australia at least).
wait so was there just a small layer of PVA between the model and the support structure? or did you just set the support to PVA? If you did the thin layer thing, how did you do that?!? please help!
Simplify3D has an option for a 'dense support layer', so I set the regular supports to PLA and the dense support layer to PVA. So there are 6 or 7 layers of PVA between the support and the model.
I'm an artist, so multicolor is exciting for me. But that's one reason I have an airbrush - to paint models. The tiny skulls are very cool tech! But like you, I don't especially want to be messing with resin. I'm also excited about SLS because of the possibility of super-strong and light parts. As soon as a system is "100% dust-proof", I'll think about it. 🖖😎
My experience with SLA printing is mostly positive. I study 3D printing and modeling and we have a Formlabs Form 2 in our school (plus three other printers). In my opinion SLA is easiest to work with and there is no mess if done properly. Of course the print size is pretty limited but the results are amazing.
Would you be willing to print an item for a customer. I am looking for a mag well that would fit on a tacamo vortex paintball marker and would accept an milsig square head magazine?!?!?
I feel like a sort of reverse 3d printing, 3d carving, if you will, might be a viable technology. A solid block of material is placed into a machine, which then removes material in a specific way to reveal the object. I have no idea how this would work, or even if this would work, but if it did it might be pretty cool.
Thank you! I have an FDM printer at the moment and like it very much (except right now when we're having a fight about feeding the PLA in. :) I have an SLA printer that I backed on Kickstarter and keep hoping that it will arrive some day. But I have wondered since I first saw the SLA, how the SLA printers work. You've made it so that if my printer never arrives, I will at least know how it should have worked. :D

What is the format of 3D file used for the full-color models?
+Cláudio Sampaio there are several formats depending on the machine. VRML, obj and STL files can be saved with color information.. sometimes in a separate file
Every time I talk to someone about 3D printing they think it’s like buying something on Amazon and printing it out like it was a piece of paper. Even if you explain it they can’t comprehend how complex it is.
Joel was showing a fully cast iron process that a startup was working on in his area. So what is the strongest printed parts available to the general public?
I’ve had issues with support materials making it so the next couple mm of layers are totally not adhered, super coarse, and break apart super easy. No clue what the deal is.
- Hi there from Pennsylvania. I’m learning a great deal, but I’m very new to 3-D printing and consider myself woefully ignorant about them, but I have the benefit of time to learn. I would like to know what you would recommend for my needs. Basically, I would like to make car and truck accessories there a custom made for certain vehicle models, such as cell phone holders, hooks, and switch pod mounts. But some of these accessories are also long and run the width of the vehicle, such as light bars or racks. Eventually, these molds would be mass produced in a better quality plastic, or in the case of light bars, into metal. So I’m looking to make a master mold, but some of them will be very long and that’s where I get confused because some beds seems small. Do you have any suggestions?
Look into belt printers like the Creality CR-30 for long prints, or you can always split your model and glue/combine them afterwards. Good luck with your 3D printing journey!
I’m really interested in getting a tevo tornado but I am unsure of where I should buy from, gearbest is the cheapest but the official tevo store is in euros suggesting it would be shipped faster and without import duty to the uk, what would you recommend?
If technology continues becoming more server-side (like Chromebook), SLS and the corn starch stuff* may become more popular, as companies will be able to produce even, consistent prints with fine detail and good strength that can be sent back to people at home. However... that's kinda speculative. FDM and SLS will probably stay as the main desktop, at-home printers though, because there's still more creativity and personality in making your own prints with your own printer. I don't think that kind of thing will go away soon, if ever. One thing SLS could be useful for right now or soon is printing fairly simple mechanisms that would otherwise be difficult to print separately and put together, like a Rubik's Cube for example. you could print the Rubik's cube's center and pieces all at once, all together when you take it out and clean it up. All you would have to do next is to paint it and sticker it. (I'm sure other things could be done, too.) The video was really cool and interesting! *The corn starch stuff
I suppose once 3D printing catches on more it will be feasible to have local 3D print shops with the fancy machines, while people have the more simple machines at home.. kinda like most people have an inkjet printer, but go to a print shop for posters or high quality prints.
In your own personal opinion, what is the best 3D printing technology available as I remember seeing SLS 3D printing long ago and remember being massively impressed by the quality but as shown in your video the 'pointy parts' tend to lose definition depending on their size.
Your "pixilated" skull has the coarseness in the STL.... showing it compared t the finely detailed SLA figure is deceptive. I did the "3 wize skulls" from Thingiverse on an Ender 3 and got extremely fine detail with a 25% scale (vs the STL file) print. I wasn't using the finest detail print setting in Cura (slicer used) The skulls are so well printed, you cant find a layer line.
I have 2 FDM printers and while I make almost everything with them I still want a DLP SLA for detailed small prints. I'm willing to put up with the mess and the smell 😬
I work at a school with kids k-8th graders and wanted to get into 3D printing with them. What would be the best printer to start the kids with and what program? I want to do a club based on 3D printing and modeling but I don’t know where to start
No one seemed to tell you some simple 3D modelling programs, fusion 360 is definitely too difficult for small kids. Heres a short list of my favourite simple 3d modelling programs for kids. Desktop programs 1.Tinkercad 2.Magica Voxel 3.Sculptris Ios Apps 1.Doodle3D 2.MakerEmpire 3.Cubify Draw
Each of those printers are capable of much finer detail once you learn the nuances of each machine and process... the key factor is that these are ALL machine tools and do require a certain amount of learning and practice to give the best results...
One aspect you skipped is the cost of the prints themselves. You can use any FDM printer to squirt a kilo of PLA for around $15, one litre of SLA juice is ten times as expensive, and the price for Material Jetting resin can be as high as $1000/kg.
I'd really like to see SLA printing become more affordable. The Form 2 seems like a really really cool printer, but at $2000 dollars, I can get a high-quality FDM printer for like 1/10 the price.
Okay maybe I was exaggerating a bit, but the Monoprice Mini Delta is only $160, and the MP Select Mini is only ~$220. Sure these aren't the best, but they're great starters.
Hey, ive been a long time viewer and ive also translated a bunch of videos but i have one request, could you make one of those print in place moving/mechanical toy/part? i think it would be verry fun and cool for a video thanx!
"I like to do functional things." - He says from behind a table covered in plastic dragons :)
@@VioFax you realize resin printers make lines too right? The only difference is that resin costs 10 times more than plastic. Plus, it breaks easier.
Are you saying they aren't functional? Printed on SCP-1146 you'd get real little dragons flying around.

This Hass to be one of my top 10 favorite videos about 3-D printers besides the other one you made about puzzles and locks
For resin you should do your first few layers on a high exposure time to help it stick really well
What are the sticks that build up near the filament reels when you were printing the light blue dissolvable support FDM dragon?
I know I'm late, but I think that they're from the nozzle oozing plastic strips while not printing. I only have a single colour printer, so that's only a guess.
Great overview comparison of the technologies. I didn't realize how finicky the resin curing and adhesion could be.
The color changing skulls are still the coolest! But I love the detail in the others too.

What was the printer used to print the multi-coloured squirtle
I'm not sure it the printer, it was a sample sent to me made with the Mosaic Palette
4:41 I know it’s not perfect, but the light blue and the supports make this look like a frozen ice dragon.
In FDM what process did you use to only get a small layer of PVA between the support and the model?
I feel like a sort of reverse 3d printing, 3d carving, if you will, might be a viable technology. A solid block of material is placed into a machine, which then removes material in a specific way to reveal the object. I have no idea how this would work, or even if this would work, but if it did it might be pretty cool.

I have 2 FDM printers and while I make almost everything with them I still want a DLP SLA for detailed small prints. I'm willing to put up with the mess and the smell 😬
you can print overhangs better if you're willing to add wait commands to your gcode
Hi! I wanna buy me a Printer around 300-400 Euros, but i dont know which is the best... Clan you help me?

Hey Devin, could you do a review on the SnapMaker 3D please?
I work at a school with kids k-8th graders and wanted to get into 3D printing with them. What would be the best printer to start the kids with and what program? I want to do a club based on 3D printing and modeling but I don’t know where to start
^^ I agree. You can also check out makeanything.design/favorites for a list of good printers
For teaching kids, she would need something with a chamber and lock. She's talking as young as really young kids. Talk about liability.
No one seemed to tell you some simple 3D modelling programs, fusion 360 is definitely too difficult for small kids. Heres a short list of my favourite simple 3d modelling programs for kids.

2.Magica Voxel
3.Sculptris

Each of those printers are capable of much finer detail once you learn the nuances of each machine and process... the key factor is that these are ALL machine tools and do require a certain amount of learning and practice to give the best results...
One aspect you skipped is the cost of the prints themselves. You can use any FDM printer to squirt a kilo of PLA for around $15, one litre of SLA juice is ten times as expensive, and the price for Material Jetting resin can be as high as $1000/kg.
what if you make cubes with atatchable brackets to atatch the cubes together while remaining inline with the cubes

I'd really like to see SLA printing become more affordable. The Form 2 seems like a really really cool printer, but at $2000 dollars, I can get a high-quality FDM printer for like 1/10 the price.
Okay maybe I was exaggerating a bit, but the Monoprice Mini Delta is only $160, and the MP Select Mini is only ~$220. Sure these aren't the best, but they're great starters.
Check out the Wanhao Duplicator 7
It’s around $500
Hey, ive been a long time viewer and ive also translated a bunch of videos but i have one request, could you make one of those print in place moving/mechanical toy/part? i think it would be verry fun and cool for a video thanx!
Thanks for helping out! I agree some print in place mechanical model would be cool :)
I learned that the best ones I can't be able to do at home.
Could you 3D print a replica of Nikey shoes?
I love how SLS printing isn't high end :-D
can you please try to make a filament recycler yourself?
