I'm in New York, which means I have to stop by G
Create the home of really large 3d printed things and 3d printers
I have a problem with my open RC build the axle had to print three pieces
They have a machine that can do it in one let's go check it out. I'm Joel
This is 3d printing nerd three different pieced axles axel
I just stopped by G. Create. They said they had a solution for printing my excellent three pieces hey, Gordon. Hey Joel
How you doing doing really great?
So I see this large machine
And and I had to print my open RC axle with three pieces because even on a GMAX build plate
It wouldn't fit this is a little larger. Can you talk about it? Yeah?
Sure, we saw your videos so we figured we have a large printer
We actually built the RG max big actually it's in a house printer
But we built it and we can print your racks all in one part now. That's insane and just looking at it
It's it's crazy to think that such a large piece at all wouldn't fit now would fit
Can you talk about how you're printing it? What are the settings of material? Yeah sure it's um actually funny enough
We actually have room in the edge to so if you want to go bigger in the future
Now board we're printing at about two hundred seven degrees Celsius. It's a matter a KERS a bill or pro PLA popular
Yep, so about a 25% infill triangular infill more perimeters three top
Yeah, we actually had a lot of time for larger prints to we'll add these kind of elephants feet in the corners
Just to make sure it sticks. Well a
Stick great yeah, and this is just acrylic right. Yeah, it's not heated
Acrylic acrylic plates on top of all this really thick aluminum bed carriage custom for sure, but what's huge? Oh?
I love it well and right next door. You've got it looks like something else cool printing
Yeah, what's this because we're printing an axle. We figured why not print a car rim - is it an open RC rim
It's not quite yet. Okay. I could transfer, but uh I actually I designed this many years ago
We've been dying to try it again, so we had some of the matter lacquers nylon X the carbon fiber nylon okay
You figured what a perfect print for it, and this is going to be just a rim in the end
Yeah, is that is that it right there? Yep?
So eventually it will be just the rim for this
And you'll you'll have to print a tires. Well, right
We're figuring this this is just obviously a TPU tire
We want to do an airless TPU tire next and because of the size of the room
We can make as large as we want so you can go huge
Oh great
And this is I see you're using supports so on a nylon material using supports can be kind of
Because it sticks so well to itself. How do you know that's gonna release? We're curious to
our first test really funny enough
With the nyla necks so we figured why not go for something has support and a you know good sized object so I think with
the CF embedded in the nylon
I think it will it might help with the stiffness when regarding with with regards to the the supports breaking. That's our
Hope yeah, that's what I'm hoping, but it's gonna be great
It's about actually about sixty percent through now, so I guess we'll find out shortly done soon, okay
What don't you get to show me great?
Actually, there's a couple of things but Anna can actually show them to you if you want to check them out over here sure great
Hi Anna hey, how's it going great Gordon said something awesome was going on over here, can you talk about this?
Yeah, sure
So this is a bridge torture test that we're connecting on the G max
It is about 19 and a half hours in and only maybe 15% done
Um ultimately this is gonna be about 20 inches tall and it's going to have over 5,800
Individual bridges in say yeah, is there something special that you have to do to be able to print this
I mean you really just want to dial in to protraction settings. I think that we style this in about like one millimeter and
We're using really good filament. We're really happy with the matter hackers Pro Series, okay?
So we're printing that at about 200 C at the moment so yeah and cooling
Jeez, how much filament is this gonna use when it's all done ultimately actually. Let's add a spool just the spool
I guess it's mostly open space yep, but this is incredible
And this is a great showcase of why 3d printing is fantastic because I don't think any other
Manufacturing method could make a twenty inch tall massive open-air, cube like this. Yeah, it's true
This is something that you would probably not get injection-molded
is it will be strong at the end will someone be able to hold this or do you have to just place it on a
Shelf no absolutely uh it's definitely meant to be held
And you know looked around and played with so we're gonna be bringing it to mirth. Oh you. Will yeah
Oh, I look forward to seeing that Wow well. Thank you Anna yes
a
Big thanks for gee create for letting us stop by and take a look at three different machines that bridge test is awesome
That RIM is gonna be cool in the nylon axe and I can't wait to play with that
Axle that's been printing in one piece when I'm at Murph, but for now we got to get going a big
Thanks to everybody who watched Pharr if you want to support what I do
There's a bunch of links down in the description you can tickle those will directly benefit the channel and make me smile
10% more each day, but finally don't forget to hug each other more because I love you guys as always
high-five
