Very well done Jarett, its nice to have a 3DCP advocate out there educating the industry on this disruptive tech. Keep up the good work!

We are getting ready to deploy this technology on the next scale and this video was really helpful. A little down to earth howto in place of the usual bot making walls thing.

Very few videos on how these things work, thanks for this! I have a design in mind but it would have a fairly heavy print head. Basically a worm screw that can pressurize a small area right before the nozzle, it works in sync with the motor to regulate the pressure! Say bye bye to oozing if the worm screw and motor kill pressure at same time and its not like with a regular plastic printer where it might clog, the worm screw will force the mud through easily and you could even implement a retraction with the worm screw on the print head, only thing that would leak would be the small bit in the nozzle! Not sure how the pump motors work though

and then a few more googles later i find this is already a thing, the main problem is the pumping

Definitely the coolest and most informative of any video like it. Nothing like outstanding homegrown innovation still clad in tyvek! The only facet I can find missing is locally-sourced mortar.

SpaceCrete was here!!!! You have been inspiring myself with you're 0 slump mix of concrete (you have an answer). I did find Fitzpatrick has somewhat affordable retarders and accelarators per cubic yard of concrete. I think with Jarett videos and you're mixture expertise the brave DIY with Arduino knowledge and a small budget may have a go at it.

@@pedrotorres9836 Very nice to hear back from you! Citric acid is pretty good to retard if you want to wake it back up fast. But there probably is a better one - for a local-materials-mix with more open time, less cement, and fast build. Stay in touch!

Look at how expensive all that equipment is, what products do they produce that justifies that expense? I mean there are also a few people babysitting that expensive machine. Looks like they could just produce these shapes themselves much faster than watching a hugely expensive machine do it..

We should be printing 2 story houses for like foundation + 5k labor + cost of cement + 10% which is hardly nothing. I can't wait for someone to simplify this into a dome maker which costs almost nothing to source.

@automateconstruction 2 жыл бұрын

Cost of electric, plumbing, (from grid) windows doors roof ect… that can add up to more than the foundation and printing mortar fairly quickly. 5k labor seems about right but you’ll also need another $10k+ in equipment rentals. If you can do stuff like that yourself you can save money buy that isn’t scalable most people aren’t handy enough.

They purchased the parts and then produced the machine. They’re also working on some new models that print outside the facility.

Anything about the amount of chemicals it takes for this type of concrete to holds its “ Shape “ ~ There is a lot of chemicals in this type of printed concrete / and shot-crete as well. And concrete is not enviromentally friendly even without all these chemicals.

This is brilliant id love to learn this but wouldn't know where to start, there is a masters course on this in the UK but I dont want to do that because lecturers maybe protective of their knowledge and then ill just end up with a piece of paper. The other way is to dive in but need alot of capital

@louischan8062 3 жыл бұрын

Loll then I am in an even worse situation by taking 3DCP as a undergraduate final year project. My lecturer just dropped me a topic without teaching my anything, and I have to learn everything from scratch, sometimes watching these youtube videos in hope of finding some insights...

start with a small one, for example getting the nozzle part right with the right mix first. 3d printers still has a long way to be improved so more people is always better

Seems like a production nightmare. So many things could go wrong with mix design consistency/quality and mechanical issues. Also what about evaporation rates and questionable curing practices…
