A cut-down version of Sanjay's in-depth talk at MRRF 2018. We've cut it right down to just the tool-changing and motion system sections, but that still gives you 55+ minutes to get stuck into. In it, you'll learn all about the development process we've been through until this point, and find out how you can join the queue for one. (hint: e3d-online.com/blog/2018/03/2...)
This footage was kindly recorded by Joe Mike at the Mid-West Rep-Rap Festival 2018. You can find his fantastic 3D printing channel here. / @joemikemakes

E3d is god when it comes to fff fdm... please and i repeat please keep running your company the way it has been run the last 3 years. All of your products are changing manufacturing world. Thanks so much for being the badasses in today's world. keep up the great work, and keep innovating crazy ideas, thats what make this company so damn awesome.

Nice presentation Sanjay! You can't imagine how excited I get about these things, I just really like it when people are passionate about what they do and even moreso when it is the same subject I am interested in. I can tell that I got a load of ideas while watching this presentation and the interview with Thomas Sadladerer. And also a few questions/suggestions. Please understand that I am not saying you are doing it wrong, just ideas to maybe get it to the next level. 1st: I see you still use steppermotors. Did you consider servo's? I want to use servo's (teknic) on my next machine and it is the first that came to mind for this "lets go crazy" project. They are about 250dollars a piece (incl tax) and can be controlled by step/dir. Should make the machine even more silent and rapids can be way faster (up to the linear rail limit of about 2000mm/sec) especially interesting to minimize the toolchanging downtime. 2nd: The purge is on a centeralized place to the left, wouldnt it be nice to have a purge tray underneath each extruder that is operated by a servo or something as part of the toolchange cycle? Hmm... This is quite a long post, and it is very likely that you never get to read it. Oh well, to whoever actually reads this: thanks :)

I understand the worry for the motors but I believe that such precision can be even greater with brushless motors/rotary encoders. A stepper is basically a geared motor with a rotary encoder built in. With brushless motors/encoders precision speed can be achieved cheaply.

@ualdayan 6 жыл бұрын

The inkjet head sounds very interesting - although something like that would need custom software to determine what 'picture' to print onto each layer after it's printed. Something that would turn a 3D textured object into slices of 'pictures' to print.

Couldn't help but watch the whole vid. Super interesting stuff Sanjay! But let me say, don't use $3 servos, they are shit and the tiny plastic gears have the habit of being fubared when you least expect it. I've made enough RC planes to know this first hand. Use metal gear servos at the very least.

You guys triggered me so hard. I'm in!!!!

@AndrewGillard 6 жыл бұрын

Please give the "triggered" thing a rest. It's abusing a term that until recently was primarily used by psychiatric patients to refer to incidents that caused panic attacks, anxiety attacks, and similar unpleasant events. The new, 4chan-originating meanings of it have completely killed its original definition, left mental health patients unable to use that word for its original purpose, and it makes a complete mockery of those mental health patients as well. If you weren't aware of those origins, that's fine, please accept what I'm telling you (or do your own research) and then maybe stop using it. If you continue to use that word in that context, at least understand that what you're doing is shitting all over some of the most vulnerable people in society, in which case I hope you sleep worse than I have been lately.

@dejayrezme8617 6 жыл бұрын

This could also be great for biology / laboratory work. You could mount a microscope head with a high res camera on there and do focus stacking automatically to increase depth or make a 3D model. Or have a pipette dispenser to dispense stuff into a bed full of small petri dishes, then watch what grows. Or of course 3D bioprinting but hey, 3D printing is already boring ;)

@mikeyjohnson5888 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I have already wondered about SLA as you can printer microfluidic structures perfect for reacting vessels etc. I am not super familiar with the requirements for chem/lab work but I would think something like 3d printing a boon for the research sciences.

@privacytest9126 6 жыл бұрын

Must admit, it all sounds very expensive, even the cheaper version... But it's the right way to go. Still need to sort out dribbling nozzles & internal caking when keeping them hot on standby, etc.. Also very scant on the flexible filament options. The rest is a bit "airy" - laser heads, pick and put, etc. First get flexibles and rigids working properly, with good software slicing options for those filaments when combined. I'd want to see proof of that before purchase.

@SanjayMortimer 6 жыл бұрын

We already have a working flexible head, and slicing. Greg the main designer on this is the guy who did the first desktop diode laser cutter. So not airy. I'll give you the pick and place though, that's going to need some work.

@privacytest9126 6 жыл бұрын

You already have my money - just trying to get you to prioritise flexibles! How's the motion system cope with the heavier direct feed head? No issues for that CF flexing?

@digibluh 6 жыл бұрын

depends.... looking at MakeGear, Ultimaker, BNC3D and others, this offers 10x more than those machines for less even without electronics. it would be like $500 more than a prusa mk3 and be 10x faster, more precise and much better than any MMU they can put out for it. so it's fairly chap.... it's not consumer cheap but people buy/build gaming PC's in the 2K range nearly every year with $500 video card's so this is nothing.

Innovation often means applying an old idea in a new way or making it more accessible. I mean look at the constraint system, nothing new but well put together to be made cheaply and accessible. That is innovation.
