Welcome back to Aurora Tech Channel. Last week, I reviewed an affordable conveyor belt 3D printer which only cost around $600. Normally, a 45-degree belt printer is good for printing long models, but for printing small models or doing automated continuous printing, it would be better to use a 90-degree setup.
This week, I will test out a belt conversion kit from Aditiva 3D. They have both 45 and 90-degree kits for Ender-3, I will test out the 90-degree kit first for 2 reasons. First, I want to find the cheapest option available to make a conveyor belt printer, as this kit is $250 and the 45-degree kit is $320. Second, the assembly of this 90-degree kit is easier than the 45-degree kit as you only need to modify the base by adding the conveyor belt on top of the heated bed, the whole gantry remains unchanged. But these 2 kits share many common components, so, it would be easier for everyone to follow if I start with this 90-degree kit and do the 45-degree in the coming week.

Dual Y-Axis Stepper Motor & Splitter:
If you want the bed to stick well, you need to move the nozzle much closer than normal, but that will cause layer shift if you only use one Y stepper motor, using dual Y-axis with another set of 40mm Nema 17 motors with 1.7A rated current is recommended:

Great review. I just bought one of these kits to try out a few weeks ago. As for the patent... The only things that are actually covered in a patent are what is listed in the Claims section... All the text before them is just describing the problem and solutions... But actually isn't enforceable... In fact, if they are not claimed but we're actually new inventions, then they become public domain as soon as the patent application publishes. When I first invented the tilted conveyor belt printer, my exclusive goal was to get by their patent. A careful reading of their claims revealed the requirement that there be an X, Y and Z axis that were perpendicular to each other. That was their weakness that I went after after realizing that I could print with with an oblique axis. I immediately used my Makerbot Replicator and converted it into a belt printer just as a sort of joke, but also to prove it would also work. That's really what started everyone making them after I showed it off at a few shows.

I have now subscribed to your channel simply because this video is so instructive, informative, concise and is delivered perfectly and is backed up with information that I can view myself outside of the video.

I did not want to go down the teaching route for the mobility reasons but I still want to be able to pursue a retirement where I can be keep myself occupied. I have been playing with 3d printers and C02 lasers over the last 5 years with a view to taking this up as more than a hobby and to find your channel is a breath of fresh air in a world that is plagued with many youtubers presenting reviews and technical help, there are only a handful that actually really provide anything more than just a "thank you for sending me a free printer" . It's very refreshing to watch you work, where did you train? I'm really interested.

Tip for One at a Time print Sequence in Cura that i just learned and has made my life way easier: Cura will print the most recently inserted file first. So you could just enter the models in backwards order and it will print in your desired way. But even better is just throw all the models in there and arrange them as you want. Then go to the model that you want to print last. Delete it, and then immediately hit undo. Move to the second to last model. Repeat until you get to the first model you want printed, delete it, undo, and BAM theyre now printing in the order you designated without you having to move the models around or worry about placement order. Whenever you make or unmake a group, it acts as the model being imported so that will mess with your order aswell!

Fantastic review! Very complete and balanced. It looks very well made and documented. I'm a bit surprised that you are able to print on the belt where the two ends of the belt are bonded together. I would have expected some unevenness there that would affect layer adhesion. Adding a skirt to the benchy should help with adhesion, since it's relatively tall in comparison with the size of the base. Did you mention anything about the bed heater? maybe the belt isn't making great thermal contact with the heating surface. It might be interesting to measure the temperature of the belt surface while printing, ideally with a thermal camera. Keep up the great work! Your reviews are getting better and better.

there is another option for continuous print. octoprint can be installed on a computer so instead of using a pi yo can use your computer just as you would with it being tethered. just remember to do updates and turn them off before printing. also you can still get a pi3/2 for a decent price and will work perfectly with this.

Very good review. I am particularly paying attention to your print adhesion issues. On my printer I have the four leveling knobs and have used my thermal camera to look at the bed temperature. The area on the bed above the knobs is quite significantly cooler then the center. Nominally if the bed is set to 70 degrees, the area above the knobs (maybe 2 inch diameter circle) is about 50 degrees or about 20 degrees cooler. This has led to several failed prints when the edge or corner of a part is above a leveling knob. Noting that you have several printers from different manufacturers with leveling knobs, have you ever checked the temperature above the knobs. I wonder if this is a general problem, or only an issue with my printer. Thanks again for your excellent videos.

I just picked up an ideaformer, i had the bed set to 70c to compensate for the belt temp, but when i used a temp gun the belt surface temp was only 59C. It might be worth checking your belt surface temp and offsetting your target temp to get the belt to the 65c range and try the benchy again. On my machine comping it up to 65C greatly helped. This kit really peaks my interest, as I have a project currently consisting of 70 parts with multiples each where queuing them up would be amazing.

I am looking to see if you did a review of the 45 degree version. to compare. The 45 degree version in theory might stick better because you are not really trying to print to the "Sky" and hope the base stays planted on the build plate. But you do have to get the Nozzle really dialed in as close to the belt as possible because the extruder is at a 45 degree angle. I am starting to think if I keep my standard printer I am going to get the 45 degree up grade kit in stead of the 90 degree kit and new/used ender 3.

For Cura there is a simple workaround to print in the order you want. Goes like this: Place all models. Click on the model you want to print LAST. Then press und hold SHIFT. click the second last item. Continue with shift holded until you reach your first part. Then press CTRL+G to group them together and now you can immediately ungroup them with CTRL+SHIFT+G. Now it will print in the order you want. Works on Cura 4.x. Don't know if this "feature" will last on Cura 5.0 which is coming soon.

First off -- Awesome video, thanks for making this and keep up the good work you guys. I love that you explained the 90 vs 45 degree patent; honestly to me though, that sounds like an invalid patent (as prior work exists and patents are required to be "novel"). Second off some FYIs: 1.) When I click on your link for a refurbished Ender 3, it's now 199.99 (which is 10.00 more than a new Ender 3 on Amazon). 😅 2.) Also, if you find that your motors are running too hot, but you still need that torque, you can mount heat sinks to them. It's a thing. 3.) Instead of a Raspberry PI, look for old Used NUCs they're slightly bigger -- but they're way more powerful; for around 40.00 I scored a Pentium N3700 -- with 8 GB of RAM and 250 GB SSD (the CPU goes from 1.6 GHz to 2.4 GHz, with 4 total cores) -- and seriously the slightly larger footprint will still tuck away right under your printer.

I imagine they are using completely flat rollers that wont make the belt track. If you look into sanders and stuff like that the center of the rollers are usually proud of the rest of the surface which makes the belt stay in line. Very counter intuitive. Might have to get one of these kits and turn those rollers on my lathe to reshape them the correct way.

In fact, a 45-degree printing angle is not great for batch printing, if I have to pick one. I would modify the IdeaFormer to 90-degree if I really have to do large batch printing, this DIY kit is OK, but the quality of the DIY base, roller as well as the belt is not as solid as those from IdeaFormer, of course, it's not fair to compare a $350(kit+printer) with a $600+ printer.

Great review. I have questions about the practicality of this kind of assembly line printing. It's only "endless" for as long as a roll of filament will last. If we are manufacturing parts, is it not more economical and reliable to fill the build plate with 24hrs worth of parts and reset each day? It seems like if you need this type of production, you are generally around and attending to your printers anyways. After all, you need to be there to post process, pack, and ship whatever parts your are printing. And with this particular configuration, the belt kit costs as much as two more of the refurbished ender 3's you're using. Wouldn't it be far more productive to buy two more ender 3's so you can have 3 prints going at once? I guess what I'm trying to say is what is the actual use case where this makes production and economical sense, instead of mostly being a cool (very cool honestly) novelty.

Depending on what you print, how much print time is required for each object. For example, for the 6.5 mins disc I printed in the video, if I use a regular Ender-3, I can put 16 of those discs on the print surface, the printing time would be 2 hours. I have to remove the parts before I can start another print. So, the maximum number of parts I can make is 192 discs per day, but I have to babysit the printer 7x24. If I use a belt printer, a roll of filament can print 270 discs, the time required to turn a roll of filament into 270 discs is around 30 hours, suppose the printing area plus the distance between each part is 250mm, this requires the belt to move 67,500mm in relative center position without touching the edge of the roller, this is possible as I can move more than 100,000mm without issue in my best result. So, I only need to change the filament and re-align the belt every 30 hours. But if you are printing something that requires more time, the belt won't make a big difference. For example, if each object requires 2 hours of printing time, you put 6 of them on the build plate, each cycle will take 12 hours, it should be good enough to just use a stock Ender-3 and check it every 12 hours.

What do you think of getting an elder 3-V2 and add the belt kit?
@AuroraTech
@AuroraTech 2 жыл бұрын
Since the Ender-3 V2 cost $259, plus the price of the kit, it would be over $500, while you can buy a new conveyor belt printer like the IR3 I reviewed last week, which came with linear rails, larger print volume, and better hardware than the stock Ender-3 for $600. So, I would rather recommend using your old Ender-3 or getting a refurbished one to play with the kit.

Its a nice kit, but considering how much tweaking you had to do to get it working, it doesn't really seem worth the 300 bucks. At minimum, it should really include at least the parts needed to print out of the box. Seems like they need to refine their design a bit more.

Please don't take this the wrong way, and I have ZERO intent to offend the presenter and anyone reading this question, sincerely. How old is the presenter? I say that because there's an amazing amount of knowledge presented, and done so professionally that it's jarring to be listening to all this, look up, and see someone that looks young...too young..? Makes me feel very dumb for my age 🤣. Truly great video, so thanks for the helpin hand people.

@@AuroraTech I'm confused, in the video you said you made a video where you converted an ender 3 pro into the 45 degree belt printer, that's the one I want to see. I have an ender 3, and I have the opportunity to pick up an ender 3 pro really cheap, so I want to know which one is better to use for the belt printer?
@AuroraTech
@AuroraTech 2 жыл бұрын
I actually said a made the Ender-3 Pro assemble video(just the printer, not the belt kit). For this belt upgrade kit, using an Ender-3 or Ender-3 Pro would be the same, just get whatever is cheaper would be fine.

@AuroraTech
@AuroraTech 2 жыл бұрын
No, the one-piece injection mold base can't be extended. Moreover, it's not worth doing that as the S1 Pro cost $500, I would buy a belt printer with linear rails for $600 instead.

@AuroraTech
@AuroraTech 2 жыл бұрын
If printing at 90-degree, it can just print normal length the same as the Ender-3, but it prints better than 45-degree for small objects and better for small batch production.

It's not worth doing that on the S1, the S1 cost $400 plus this kit, and the total will be over $600. For the same price, you can buy a belt printer like the IR3 with larger volume, linear rails, and better hardware than the Ender-3.
