Ep.3 - Massive UFO Duct vs Alien Exoskeleton 3D printer designs, were nearly at the end! NeedItMakeIt 2024-10-19 | More incredible duct designs! We're getting close to the end!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitAre you starting to see any patterns in the best performers vs the ones that aren't doing as well? I think there are so many different designs that it might be hard to tell, but there are certainly some similarities but we need to get the rest of these incredible ducts tested and then when we're finally through, we'll have to score each test print using a detailed marking system so that we have an objective way of seeing which ducts have done the best so that we can then move 5 or 6 of them to a round of final testing to declare the winners.

Ep.1 - These high speed 3D printer ducts produced some shocking results! NeedItMakeIt 2024-10-05 | It has begun and I decided to make the tests even harder than before!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitIt took a bit longer to get setup than expected, I thought I was going to be able to use the spools of Bambu filament that I bought just for these tests, but it turns out that I needed HF filament for this printer. I bought the grey Creality HF instead which I've used before, but never on this printer, so it took a bit to get it dialed in. We're running the Cliffhanger, the Bridge Burst The Shuriken and of course the one and the only Benchy (Standard Version). As we get deeper into the competition we'll be able to run more tests as we narrow down the top performers to a smaller group. Ideally we'll do smoke testing, CFD simulations and we'll also use the Thermal camera to really see what's happening.Overhung & Bridge_Burst (NIMI) - makerworld.com/en/models/668332#profileId-595924Overhang Test Shuriken (By Rocksalt) - thingiverse.com/thing:6315375Benchy (By CreativeTools) - thingiverse.com/thing:763622I hope you enjoy the start to this competition and look out for more next week!If you want to know all of the details of each test in Orca, the link to the .orca_printer file is below:drive.google.com/file/d/1VUcD_16jln0aO8fc9BtL45VUrphb0VD7/view?usp=sharingThank you for helping to make this channel a success!

That is definitely not the case this time, this printer worked right out of the box and it has so much more than anything else I've seen, not to mention that it is incredibly robust. QIDI has taken the feedback from the community and given us a printer that meets as many of our needs as possible. Printing isn't just for toys anymore, 3D printing is being used to make real parts and even functional prototypes at work. I think my favorite features about this printer is the nozzle wiping system, but I also like that they went with all 10mm rods and screws, there is a lot like so let me show you just about everything I can in the video!2 Start 10mm Rod Sloth: makerworld.com/en/models/120092#profileId-316102One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

New AtomStack 55W Hurricane CO2 Laser cuts CLEAR acrylic and wood like a hot knife through butter NeedItMakeIt 2024-09-13 | Once I made a little adjustment, I was cutting wood and clear acrylic like a beast. My favorite feature is the camera, it makes all of the difference!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitAs much as I love to use my 3D printers, there are some limitations, one is the size of the printers, another is the material limitations, and the last is the cost of the materials. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to 3D print something, instead it should be cut using a CNC or a laser. I've had quite a few offers to review lasers, but they were all missing what I thought were important features. In my shop, I work close to my machines so I need to be able to breathe that air, and from a fire-safety standpoint, if I walk away for a minute, I don't want to risk anything catching fire. So all of those previous lasers would have to be used outside to avoid the risk. That's not the case anymore! This laser is built to address those issues and there are some other super handy features as well and after using this machine for over a month now, I only want to use it even more. Those changes have made all of the difference. I'll show you some ideas of what you can do with this laser, and some of the materials you can cut and engrave with it in this video so that if you're in the market for a laser, you can see what it can do and can decide if it is the right choice for you. I also go over a few little things with this laser that could be improved or possibly have been already since mine was a prototype.One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

What really makes a good filament dryer and how to they compare? NeedItMakeIt 2024-09-07 | It looks like the new dryers have a design flaw, but I'm not sure, so let's find out.Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitThe newest filament dryers look great, they seem like they have some useful features and they're far safter than the old ones, but something isn't quite right with these new ones. Where is the humid air going? In my mind, to get the most out a dryer, it needs to replace the humidified air with dryer air from the room and as it heats, it can take on more moisture and then the cycle repeats, but with these new dryers, they're just about all sealed up, so what happens to that air? My Desiccant Holder/Weight: makerworld.com/en/models/627071#profileId-551576We're going to explore that and much more in this video to find out if it is a problem at all and if it is, we'll see if we can figure out what to do about it.One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

3D printing a functional Air Amplifier and testing it to see if... NeedItMakeIt 2024-08-31 | There is much more to this fan design than meets the eye!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI don't know about you, but I'm often skeptical of new products, it's hard to know if they're bending the truth and getting us to buy with their marketing tactics. The Dyson fan design with the Air Amplification technology seems to me to be one of those cases. It looks pretty, but it's very expensive. They market it as a Bladeless fan, but it has blades in it, they're just in the base. Still Dyson has a pretty good reputation, so maybe it's not a gimmick and there is some real technology in there that we can adopt for 3D printing or possibly for making our own fans. We'll do the trash bag tests, we'll also do smoke tests and dive into the principles behind the design to see if it makes sense, and then we'll decide if it's worthy of using on some future projects.All Duct Options (including the Prusa MK4S Style & Template): makerworld.com/en/models/559282#profileId-478439Amplifier Test makerworld.com/en/models/614771#profileId-538147My Duct Sims: simscale.com/projects/needitmakeit/air_amplificationOne way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

Now anyone can simulate flow for a 3D printer duct NeedItMakeIt 2024-08-24 | I found simulations hard, but not anymore!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitWe are still on a mission to look to any any all options to learn what makes the best part cooling duct of all, and using simulation software makes a lot of sense. There is only one problem... I didn't know how to use it, and the tutorials were not very well suited to the application, so after some research and a lot of failures, I finally came to a simple method that's easy to do for just about anyone with a CAD software. I took it one step further as well by showing the pretty big difference between simulating with and without a part in place and we also tested using Rheoscopic fluid like the last video to see how close the simulation was compared to the actual flow both with any without a part. This is so easy now that I do this for every duct I design and because of this method I have several more ideas for even more advanced approaches to duct design for 3D printing, so there is lots of value I think.All Duct Options (including the Prusa MK4S Style & Template):makerworld.com/en/models/559282#profileId-478439My Duct Sims: simscale.com/projects/?sortBy=project_creationdate&search=needitmakeitTeaching Tech Vid: youtube.com/watch?v=Wun9EuVTV0w&tOne way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

Its easier than it looks to create one of these for your printer NeedItMakeIt 2024-08-03 | Sometimes the software can't do what you want but, sometimes the software can do it, and do it very well. Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitIn this video I'm sharing what I've learned over the past few weeks of creating custom 3D printer part fan ducts and testing them out. At first, few models were hard, the next batch were a little annoying, and finally after many many models, it's actually pretty easy and something I should have learned to do a long time ago. Some of these tools aren't used often because they just don't have a useful purpose, but in the case of these tools, I think there are a lot of uses. Now that we have metal 3D printing as an option, I can see using the method I've shown in the video for exhaust pipes, for manifolds, custom ductwork for HVAC systems, of course lots of 3D printer applications as well. I have to say that these just look amazing as well, not to mention that they're super lightweight, there is no filler, all of the form also the function. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I enjoyed learning and sharing it with you.All Duct Options (including the Medusa & Template):makerworld.com/en/models/559282#profileId-478439One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

More ducts is better, but how many is too many? NeedItMakeIt 2024-07-27 | 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Do you know how many ducts is best? In this video we'll find out!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitGood part cooling is critical if you have a high speed printer. If we try to blow out a candle do you do it with your mouth wide open or do you try to position the air exactly where you need it? The answer should be clear, you need to place the air where you need it, and I believe that the same goes for part cooling. Simply cooling the part isn't good enough, we need to place the cool air and even better we need to place the air and also give that air somewhere to go. In this video, we'll explore these concepts by testing no duct, vs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ducts to see which perform the best.This is a project that needs the community's helps, I've included the parts and the template if you think you can do a better job!All Duct Options & Template:makerworld.com/en/models/559282#profileId-478439One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

This NEW Printer BLOWS the Competition Away! NeedItMakeIt 2024-07-21 | Is this brand new FLSUN T1 the next evolution in high-speed 3D printing? We're going to find out!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitFaster isn't always better, but sometimes there is a big leap in technology and faster is better and that leap leads to better products and more innovation and so it continues. This is the FLSUN T1, the little brother to the S1, there aren't too many bells and whistles on this printer, and personally I like a printer to be fairly straight forward so that I can upgrade it myself and makes adjustments easily as well. So is this printer the next leap in 3D printing tech, or is it all hype? We're going to do a deep dive to see if we can reach those stats on their website and then we'll even take the printer to the next level by installing 2 of our own upgrades to see if that helps as well.

Soft and Firm into One Very Satisfying 3D Print NeedItMakeIt 2024-07-13 | 3 Years, that's how long it took me to finally get this done! What A slacker 😝Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitHave you ever tried to 3D print TPU, how about printing a shoe, in this video we find a way to 3D scan my butt so that I can finally get some relief on those longer bike rides. I've never had a comfortable bike saddle/seat and I wanted to see if using TPU to make my own which is custom fitted to my body would do any better than one that's store bought. TPU is a pretty amazing material and it turns out that to get the properties we're looking for with TPU there are quite a few settings that we can adjust. We can modify the infill itself, but we can also adjust the line with, line width has a big impact on how flexible the final TPU piece will be.This video goes over all of the steps so that you can try this yourself, you just need an old seat to start with, any color of spray paint, a 3D printer and some patience. If you're better at modelling than I am, you'll see even better results that I did. There is a lot more to learn about bike saddle design and there is a lot more to experiment with to achieve the ultimate results which not only apply to seats, but to shoes, sandals, helmets, really anything you wear. I'm working on leveling this up and it won't be long before we have the ultimate solution!One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

Which is the Best 3D Printed Corner NeedItMakeIt 2024-07-06 | When we run the tests, I'm always a little surprised with the results.Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI have nothing against simple designs, often times they're far quicker to produce and if they work, well that's the important part. I do like to constantly look for improvements, and I think most of us look for not just function but also how something looks. If it looks good we're more likely to buy it, want it, make it etc. If it looks good and doesn't function, well that's no good, so it needs to function first and then we can focus on the looks. The inside corner has been something I've wanted to test for a long time, I've often thought that the fillet is strong, and I've seen stress testing on metals, and we use circular cutouts in wood as well which have proven to be quite durable connections which have stood the test of time, so do these same techniques apply directly to 3D printing. I would think that they should, but there is only one way to find out and that is to print some parts and test them out.I hope you find the video interesting and helpful!One way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

Is an UNfilled 3D Print Stronger than an INfilled 3D Print? NeedItMakeIt 2024-06-29 | Tell me if you think this option should be added to the slicer!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitThis is an idea I had a long time ago and really it's not my idea, it's taking what we already know from the structural steel industry and finding a way to apply it to 3D printing. With printing we have the advantage of being able to make any shape we'd like, with steel, it's possible, but hard to do on a big scale. I beams are another good example of how to make the ideal beams with minimum deflection and max load capacity. These are great if you understand the direction of loading well, if not, a square tube is another great option and it's most similar to what we've done here in this set of tests. I added in the Black Basic PETG because I was curious, but it was not charted with the rest since it was not part of the main experiment. It is a good clue to the performance differences between the different materials and how layer adhesion and the flexibility of the different materials affects their performance.

Upgrade for Better AIR FLOW on Your Overhangs and Bridges NeedItMakeIt 2024-05-18 | It's amazing what you uncover when you're not even trying!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI've always known that the part cooling is not that good on the Bambu, but it's a really good printer that gives me almost no trouble at all, so I can't really complain. What I can do it improve an already great printer, so that's the goal for this video. How can we take the Part cooling to the next level. I have an upgrade that I requested to be sent to me from BIQU and they were nice enough to send it to me, it is called the Panda Jet and it's meant to be a simple swap to completely change the part cooling on this printer. When I see these images of air flowing in perfect streams, I normally look the other way, but I saw that it had 4 ports set on a diagonal to the axis and it seemed like a pretty good idea, and I was also curious about MJF 3D printing and I wanted to see what it looked like. Before we do anything in this video we need to take some time to understand the problem and make some test prints to that we have something to compare against, and for that I'm using PLA and PETG-CF and I'm also using the Ender 3 V3 from my previous testing video.

Ever since testing my first CoreXY printers, I thought it would be the end of the bed slinger and we'd see a quick transition to a better format. For smaller bed slingers, it makes quite a bit of sense to me, smaller printers have less mass to move around, they're nice and portable, cheaper and simpler to build, but when we start trying to increase the bed size, we have all of that mass to move around at high speed. Better firmware helps quite a bit, but the issue still remains. Can we move a large mass of the bed and still have the same results as a CoreXY Printer? That's what we're trying to find out.I have a soft spot for this type of printer, and I prefer how open these printers are compared to the enclosed printer, it's just so much easier to see what's happening on a bed slinger.So let's find out how good this Ender 3 V3 Metal Frame Printer really is!Another way to support this channel is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

NeedItMakeIt 2024-04-27 | It's lean it's green and it prints like a....Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI've been on a mission to use 3D printing to upgrade to fix and to repair as many of my tools as possible, and when it comes to tool repair, 3D printing isn't always what comes to mind first. If we want something stiff, that's precise it's better to machine it from metal and pay what it takes. But maybe it's possible to replace parts with the right filament, every day there are new and unique filaments coming out that push the boundaries of what we can do with 3D printing. Having recently tested the QIDI Q1 and having good success with it, I went back to their website and I found that they sell a filament called ABSGF25 and it's not like anything I've seen before, so I contacted QIDI to see if they'd send me a spool to test out... I didn't specify the color, so they sent green, and that's perfectly fine, it showed up really well on camera. All of the prints in this video were made on the QIDI Q1 Pro, it's still printing very well it's at least on-par with the X1C for print quality, though it doesn't have a color option at the moment.

Modernizing the best Woodworking Joint to use for 3D Printing NeedItMakeIt 2024-04-20 | Quite a few viewers requested this video, so here it is!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitIn the previous video I showed a brief segment showing this connection that I created, which is my take on an old and wonderful connection which has been used in Woodworking since the dawn of Woodworking. Having made many a dovetail connection by hand in my days as a Woodworker, I thought it was a connection worthy of some attention in 3D printing as well. In this video I show you the process of how to create a variety of different levels of sliding dovetail connection in Fusion 360 and of course we 3D print them and see how they come together. For this video, I've used the Bambu X1C and the QIDI Q1 and the results were quite good from both printers. The filament was Bambu PETG-CF in Brick Red and in Titan Grey linked below (I receive a small commission if purchased through my link and it helps me continue to make videos like these):ca.store.bambulab.com/collections/bambu-lab-3d-printer-filament?sscid=61k8_gdfh0Fusion Files:Basic - drive.google.com/file/d/1q4QgVs4KM7XR8W0Vqr7QpRVRQgbB5z0u/view?usp=sharingCurved - drive.google.com/file/d/1sxO0gkfYDiaz-zkts3ZmiwXJNk3r3n_m/view?usp=sharingScarfed - drive.google.com/file/d/1nb6OwZGdqxRfHks4A1KtNhSStJGFSRLl/view?usp=sharingConical - drive.google.com/file/d/1UMtWtzIld4VW3NVv7WFJJ-1RMv2iXhk7/view?usp=sharingIf you'd like to see more connections, let me know.

Can you 3D print a functional lathe belt from TPU? NeedItMakeIt 2024-03-29 | What are the limits of TPU? It seems nearly indestructible, so let's find out!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitTPU Is an incredible material for certain applications, like bumpers, clamp pads, and lathe belts.... what? Lathe Belts? Well maybe yes or maybe no, that's what this video aims to find out.The more I use TPU the more I want to use it, and now that they have High Flow TPU it isn't as much of a pain to wait for those prints to finish. The TPU I've been using is limited to 3.6mm³/s, which for a fast printer, is quite slow. Luckily we don't lose all of the print time since we still have fast moves and accelerations. Using TPU for a lathe belt was just an idea that I had to try and save money and I thought it would be interesting to see if the properties of TPU lines up with what was necessary for a lathe belt.TPU Soft Jaws:makerworld.com/en/models/400683#profileId-302192TPU Quick Grip Clamp Padsmakerworld.com/en/models/400537#profileId-302053TPU Tamiya RC Car Bumpermakerworld.com/en/models/400588#profileId-302103Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI'm pretty picky when I agree to test a printer out, I've worked with Creality and Bambu, but I had heard good things about QIDI so I thought it was worth a closer look. They happened to have a brand new product that combines high speed printing with accuracy and... one more feature that even expensive printers don't have. That particular feature was going to be a pretty big benefit to me because of the types of parts I like to print. I went into this test like I usually do, optimistic, and normally I end up finding a series of problems that cause me to have to make several more follow up videos. I didn't have that experience with this printer. Overall I was impressed. There were a few small things that could be improved, that's true for anything. I was impressed the most with the build-quality and the steel frame, but the parts look like they belong in a far more expensive printer.I hope this video helped you and I hope that if you're in the market for a printer that you can get the best price.

Most of the settling back happened within 10 minutes but it continued for as long as 20 minutes. In this video I wanted to show you a way to pre-heat automatically so that you don't need to think about it. **Special note: The Max takes only 5 minutes to reach 100C, it's far faster than most other printers, adding a bit of time back to this heating cycle is a good idea and will give you the best results with the thickness of aluminum plate we're dealing with.Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my Amazon affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

I love the printer, but getting a good first layer seemed nearly impossible... that is until now!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitThe K1 series of printers has to be one of my favorite of all time, I don't have a Voron to compare against, but I do have a Bambu, and I really like the Bambu as well, but it's not quite as open to adjustments as the K1 printers are. The smaller K1 is good, it performs really well, I've been really happy with it, I think for the price it's one of the best out there at the moment. The K1 Max is a bigger and meaner version of the K1, but it also comes with a bit of a hidden problem. When you try to get a good first layer, it seems like it's impossible. The results keep changing, I was never able to dial it in exactly, so what's going on with this printer, or the firmware, or who know? Well in this video we find out exactly why we're having the problem and not only that, we're going to take it one step further and show how you can get even better results than you thought possible.

Creality K1 MAX Any Good? Hint: It Has a Little Secret... NeedItMakeIt 2024-02-10 | If you own a MAX, or you want to buy one, you'll want to check out this video!Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitCreality sent me this printer to test out, they don't pay me, or tell me what I can and can't say, as you will find out when you watch the video. I have a series of videos planned for this BIG printer because in the end, it is a very capable printer. the K1 series of printers are pretty good, and I've been having a great time with my smaller K1 printer. When these printers were first released, there were a few issues with the extruder design. Those issues have since been resolved and we're getting good repeatable results now. That said, are there any other lingering issues that haven't been fixed yet?The feature that I have been looking forward to using the most is the LiDAR, and the automatic bed scanning. On a big printer, the bed tends to be warped and having the ability to scan with a higher precision helps to get that first layer just right, in this video, we'll go through that and find out if the LiDAR scanner really does work well and we'll review a little about how it works as well. ***ALSO - Yes the K1 does fit inside of the K1 MAX, that's how big it is and that size really does come in handy for some of those really large prints you don't want to split up.

What Causes BAD Print Quality on the Ender 3 V3 KE? - Fast Bed Slinger NeedItMakeIt 2024-02-03 | We're on a mission in this video to solve this strange surface quality issue on our New Ender 3 V3 KEHelp support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitThis is a follow up to the review video where we discovered the problem with what looked to be an extrusion issue, there was also a problem with too much 'slop' in the bearings below the bed for the Y axis movement. In this video, we'll go through the process of finding the source of the problem by taking things apart in our usual style and then we'll run through a series of tests to prove or dis-prove the theorys. I've printed with PETG, ABS, TPU, CF, ABS, ASA and PC, and I've never had this issue before. It seems to be related somehow to speed, but also possibly to the material, PETG seems to have more of this issue occurring, but I also can see the problem on PLA but to a lesser extent. The KE runs with a Sprite style of DD extruder, and it looked to me to be a little under-engineered for the job, I thought that would be a good place to start...

Is the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE Any Good? NeedItMakeIt 2024-01-27 | Oh boy, I had no idea that it would end up leading me into the abyss.Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI started with an Anet A8, which wasn't good, it 'worked' but not well, the Ender 3 V2 came along and I bought it, and I was really happy with it, it was a great machine for tinkering with and learning how a printer works, since then lots of new fast printers have come out and they blow the old generation of printers out of the water. Those new printers usually run a Core XY setup or a Delta, so how could a simple X Y Z cartesian setup possibly compete? Well I'm not convinced that it can, but the price is right so I wanted to try it out to see how well it performed and if there were any issues. Some of the new printers are pretty expensive, so if the printer performs well, and the price is half or less than a Core XY, it might make sense to go that route it if does the job. In this video we take everything apart, have a look inside, and go just about as far as we can to try and understand what's going on with this printer, how it works, as well as the good points, the bad points and some things I want to see in future versions as well. This is a long video, because there was a bit of a struggle and I wanted to show it, hopefully you enjoy and found the difficulty I had entertaining.

Strong 3D Printed Connections on BIG parts NeedItMakeIt 2024-01-20 | If we print big, we need strong connections, what's the biggest connection you can think of? Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI've seen some attempts at creating enclosure or frames, and they are lacking in a few ways. One is that they don't pull the joint together, they're simply bolted. The end result is something that will shake and wobble, not good enough. There are other designs which require lots of hardware. There are also lots of designs which require supports. I'd like to try to do away with all or at least most of that to try to find the best and strongest connection for joining two large 3d prints together. It's great to have the big printers, that helps a lot to minimize the joints, unfortunately they're not big enough and we need to join pieces together. Gluing a connection is a good option, but how do you pull the joint together tight while the glue sets? do you really want to rely only on the glue, or would you rather have both a mechanical connection and a bonded connection as well? I hope to answer those questions and more as I show off one of the oldest types of connections I can think of and we find out just how strong it is compared to other connections.Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

Can we Make a High Quality 3D Print? NeedItMakeIt 2024-01-13 | I'm TIRED of making 3d prints that are throw-away junk. Support this channel! patreon.com/Needitmakeit3D Prints look cheap, and feel cheap. In this video, we'll address this by throwing a few solid techniques at the prints while also using 3D printing for what it excels at, and using traditional hand-crafting methods and bringing the two together to see if we can make something that looks and feels like a quality product.A shout out to @Willofthemaker for sharing his techniques for making prints that look like the ones shown in the video.It isn't enough to just 3D print a part solid. First we need to pick the right material. If we try to use a low-quality filament, we're going to see a lot of variation in the diameter, and that will translate into more visible layer lines. Picking a quality filament is the first and one of the most important factors.We also want to print HEAVY, when you tap on a print, it should feel solid, not hollow, it's a small thing, but it helps quite a bit. The color of the print does make a difference. It's a matter of preference in a way, but there are some colors that look more pro, and those are darker colors. Light and bright colors look cheap, like kids toys.

Simple Ways to Make Stronger 3D Prints NUMBER TWO NeedItMakeIt 2024-01-01 | What happens when you do real drop tests on 3d prints? Do they bend, do they break, do they shatter? In this video we'll find out by testing different materials and designs at several DROP heights. Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitI see a lot of testing videos, some of them are useful to compare materials against each other, but they're not as useful when you want to apply them to real designs. If we want to protect something, should we use ABS? How about PETG? Or Maybe you're the PC type. I have an okay sense about each of the materials, but I couldn't tell you which material was best to protect expensive equipment, and which material could take continued abuse and not just break after one drop. This video is dedicated to doing realistic dop testing to see if we can get some real answers to those questions so we have a better idea of how to design 3d printed parts, and that we also have a sense about which materials perform the best under which conditions.In the previous video, we tested only PETG, it has a good reputation for being flexible, but it also has this other very strange property of becoming brittle and fracturing at a certain point. In this video we're going to see if we can figure out the right mix of flex and strength for that material so we can use it and have the confidence that it'll do the job. Which material do you think will perform the best? Check out the video for all of the details, it was a lot of fun, and I learned quite a bit. Let's just say that it isn't all about the size, there is more to it than that. Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).

2 Simple Ways to Make Stronger 3D Prints + an Experimental Way NeedItMakeIt 2023-12-23 | Is the simplest solution always the best? Or, is the experimental solution the way to go? We're looking at a few ways to make stronger prints in this video.Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitWe had a pretty epic but funny fail, I made a set of prints for a friend looking to make his Yaseu FT-891 Radio portable. I found a nicely designed set and printed them for him and then went and sent him a short video showing that they were flexible so we were pretty confident that they'd work well. Well he arrived and we were about to mount them, and he accidently broke one by twisting it, like I had in my video to him. It made me wonder if this was the right solution to use on an expensive radio and if I should modify the design to make it stronger. I came up with a few different options but thought about using a technique that I had used in woodworking called steam bending, aligning the 'grain' of the plastic to be continuous.Each of these prints were made from the same spool of filament, extremely dry and printed with no fans. The original model which broke was printed with normal fans and the door was open on the printer. I forgot to mention that part in the video. Check out the video for all of the details, it was a lot of fun and I learned quite a bit on this one.

Bambu X1C Active Motor Noise Cancellation Vs Creality K1 NeedItMakeIt 2023-12-21 | Does Active Motor Noise Cancellation really make that big of a difference? in this video, we're going to do all kinds of tests to see if we can find out.Help support this channel! patreon.com/NeeditmakeitWhen I first watched the video from Bambu, I was really excited about the possibility of reducing motor noise. As I watched it a second time, I started to ask a few questions. The main one was, are they printing something? How close is the mic to the printer, was the sound adjusted in the video to accentuate the difference. I make videos, and all of these things are possible. I wasn't sure if they were making a real print, so that was one of my main questions, if we make a real 3d print, at fairly high speeds do we see such a big difference in sound, and what other sounds are in play here. Well we did a deep dive. This video and all of the testing took quite a bit more time that I was expecting, and I think we ended up with some interesting results. Since we were already testing, I wanted to compare against the Creality K1. I know that when I record audio, I cannot have either printer running to avoid background noises, so I didn't think they were too much different in sound levels, but that wasn't exactly true, I just wasn't paying close attention to it. Well I hope you enjoy the video and if you like Graphs, this is a good video for you. If you don't.... well I added some arrows and color and big letters, so I tried at least.I hope you found this video helpful and interesting!Another way to support this channel indirectly is through my affiliate links (where I receive a small commission).
