Yes, if used in a normal 3D printer capacity (which, granted is a strong focus of this video when it lists and discusses the weight of the print heads), but when used for injection molding-as was the initial purpose for performing these tests-reaching high pressure is the primary concern, not flow rate, consistency in output rate, or weight of the head, as it would not be moving and the quality of the molded part is largely dependent on the mold design, surface finish and level of detail, and achieving a complete fill of the mold cavity.

@Borgedesigns Жыл бұрын

Ive been working on a similar idea for a while based on a failed print, which filled my silicone hotend. It created a blob that had a smooth surface finish, 100% infill and sharp features, which lead me to the idea that it was viable. For those saying why, small FDM parts are weak and struggle with small details due to the printing process. While slower than traditional injection moulding there is certainly a place for a small machine like this. Even a 5-10 minute cycle time is still faster than printing and due to the low cost and size many machines could be run at once.

@jakegarrett8109 Жыл бұрын

When he mentioned this I thought about the conical bullets I want to print (based off a patent from the 1700's, it was a flintlock that fired 224 times with a single trigger pull, its party piece wasn't a complex mechanism it was that you could stack bullets with basically a flash hole drilled through the middle so they would fire one after another in runaway full auto). I printed one and it came out ok, but if you make smaller than .50 cal (historically it would have been .69 cal or bigger since those were the popular calibers back then), then you end up with pretty tiny projectile. Something like the creatlity belt printer injecting into a line of molds could automate the process (you need 224 of them to load it up, lol, you might even want to fire it once every weekend), so for accuracy you'd either want Resin printer or injection/cast. Of course casting in lead would be the way it was done previously and how it should be done (also very easy, probably much easier than plastic), however you need to burn more power and if you just want a toy like a glorified Nerf toy that has cool booms and smoke, well plastic should be fine for close range play.

@roboman2444 Жыл бұрын

The OMGv2 series extruder gave me an idea. Two completely separate extruders, in series. A big beefy one like the Hemera or Proper at the start, then a bowden tube connecting it to a small lightweight extruder like the Orbiter. The big extruder would provide most of the force, while the small extruder would help with retraction, especially with flexible materials. Both high torque with low print head weight and good retraction performance. It also spreads out the "grip" on the filament, so any grinding will less likely cause an unrecoverable failure. Something even smaller and lighter could be designed, as the head extruder would really only need to provide a fraction of a KG of force.

File or grind a center channel in the extruder gears of the Hemera to match the spikey design of the Dyze Xtruder Pro and retest, as the Hemera with the large motor was a good performer where the filament grip was its weak point that might be easily rectified.

@witalijlewandowski2384 Жыл бұрын

I don't think there is any difference in push force between printed/cnc, at least to the point where printed one can break. But definitely there may be difference in precision - cnc is more precise, rigid, temperature-stable in hot chamber - cnc can deliver more quality to print, not force. And second thing, what can affect force - you can pump more current in stepper with alu extruder - it helps with motor cooling and there is no chance that extruder can melt and jam. 100C+ motor can survive , but definitely not ABS printed extruder.

High Nozzle pressure is really not a good friend of FDM printing. During the definition of my test procedure for hotend testing, I observed that filament will stop printing properly as soon as it enters the pressure creep zone. This behaviour can be observed at all temperature points. Improperly molten material will no be able to retain the shape induced by the nozzle and print path. It will tend to return to its original shape.

I'm putting out this mini-alert about a wiring problem I discovered on my BIQU Hurakan. The video about it is featured on my KZfaq site. Here's the bottom line: BIQU put two ground wires, a frame ground, and a switch / power inlet ground, on the single FG post of the power supply that comes with the Hurakan. It's possible that resonance tuning can work the lower ground wire away from the FG post of the power supply. Having an ungrounded switch / power inlet ground wire loose in that area, where there are a lot of control wires heading to the control broad may be a recipe for disaster. If you have any thoughts on this, please inform your viewers, as some of them might own a Hurakan. Thank you for all the great work you're doing. It's really quite impressive!

Thank you for a great video! I use LGX Lite and like it a lot. I think the way the wheels are aproached from both sides makes them less sensible to missalignment of the wheels, a problem with original BMG and all that use a spring like the Orbiter.

That maybe true, but I'm not sure misalignment is completely eliminated. I recently upgraded to an LGX Lite and immediately noticed clicking of the gears during retractions. Upon further inspection, I discovered there is a small amount of play on ALL the gears, which causes a little backlash and is the source of the noise. Though I wouldn't necessarily say it's a design flaw, more like a design characteristic.

I really like how wenn the Orbiter performs! Thank you for the video. I would be interested in more experimental designs like the original 'Nextruder' idea by Prusa with a cycloidal gearbox. I think it is now planned with a planetary gearbox. Of course you tried to find the strongest extruder, but I think the retracting performance (so the accuracy when you extrude 1 mm, retract 1mm and then extrude 2 mm) is also important.

I had a Hemera running on my Ender 3 and was blown away as to how powerful that thing was. There were a couple of times where the filament tangled and it literally took the entire dry box with the spool. I couldn’t even be mad.

Really enjoyed your video as always. I love my OMG v2 but using the aspina pancake it skipped too much for me.. I also really like my OG Microswiss using the creality stock 40 motor. Wanted the cannon but now perhaps the orbitor.

I had hoped to see the latest all-metal hextrudort (if I'm not mistaken it is sold by Mellow) on the list. It claims several improvements over what is otherwise similar to the Orbiter. I'm especially interested whether the angled pattern on the drive wheels makes a difference ...

Amazing test, but unfortunately the Sherpa Mini is missing. Small motor, but 6,25:1 reduction so still a lot of pushing force, while being really light! More niche but I would love to see the other Annex extruder, the Ascender (which is the original worm driven extruder that inspired the Cannon)

Great video you should make a video testing which filament is easiest to drive with with rig

@ericblenner-hassett3945 Жыл бұрын

The " professional " injection molding machines use a spiral ( reverse drill ) to push molten pellets/filament and hold pressure in the mold. I would recommend looking into some of the " DIY " machines for taking your old filament and making new to you filament as that is closer to an injection part of the plastics manufacturing. This is still great information as it also can be used for design choices for a Voron between the weight classes and how much filament can be pushed and how hard. Thank you for not just the hard work, the excellent graphs showing the information and the important summary that makes it well worth the comparison.

I'm planning on upgrading my Prusa-mini, using dual drive. Going to mount a mini direct drive, in addition to the boden drive. This should also work for bigger direct-drive machines.

Hey Stefan! Great video! I'm not sure if you saw it, but MirageC put out a really good video out about a month ago about Extrusion Quality which seem to be a large potential driver for the elusive "Prusa Issue 602." What MirageC found is that his BMG extruder had some slight wobble in the gears and that was enough to cause inconsistent extrusion that is visible with light sources directly above the print. With all these great extruders that you have, it would be awesome to see if there was a noticable difference between them with their extrusion consistency and compare them under harsh perpendicular lighting.

I really like the design of the dyze extruder gears. Since they use those spikes to press into the filament I'm guessing they don't need a tension adjustment because it's not depending on tension to drive the filament. It probably bottoms the two sides of the outer edges of the gears against each other and the spikes drive the filament regardless of what filament is in there so there's no need for tension adjustment. Very interesting design that other manufacturers really should adopt. The squeeze style definitely has its drawbacks

I work in the HDPE pipe fitting fabrication industry. Our fabricators use extrusion welding guns that mangle the filament like the bondtech extruder does. If you’re interested in the technology, I think we use an older version of the Wegener EXWELD sigma4 SC TWISTY.

Hi Stefan, cool video! I have an ender 5plus but i am still running a boden tube set up. I feel my Extruder is not strong enough. I can simply replace it with some of the mentioned extruders without switching to direct drive right?
