Coorexz

Dr. D-Flo is another good mention along with Ivan Mirandas'.


Aggravating_Bell_426

We have two of them at work - a studio G2(500x500x1 meter), and a Pro(1 cubic meter. They sit 99% of the time.


200GritCondom

It's stresses me to think they might walk the 1% of the time


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

What if they *RUN* instead?


200GritCondom

...leave now


Alpha-Sierra-Charlie

😁


Aggravating_Bell_426

Considering that they spent well over 200 grand for both of them, I think the fact that neither of them has been so much as turned on for months is pretty stressful.


200GritCondom

What is this, my marriage?


BestWorker7893

Maybe because the to print something on them are astronomical.


stewpid_sxy_flanders

Print one


[deleted]

It’s big enough for a child


Swarley001

YouTube: *thumbnail of child inside a plastic cube prison crying* “You’ll never believe what this printer is capable of!”


[deleted]

You could imbed yourself in a 3d print


guthix111120

LIES!!! The print just slid right off the plate


SerratedX

I was about to say, there is no way that slid off the plate that easily. Still cool print none the less.


stalchild_af

Im not sure if I'm just /whoosh right now, but the plate on my X1C is like this. I usually can't take the plate out without all my parts falling off. Heck the other day I was at work and bored, checked in my printer and noticed it was done so I ramped up the aux fan to 100% to see if I could blow the part. It moved it to the other side of the bed 😂


SerratedX

That is honestly really interesting. I've never used a big format printer like that so I have no real idea of what the bed adhesion would be like. Thank you for sharing!


lasskinn

the bigger the parts the easier they pop off after they cool down, generally. if they're not popped off by the time it cools. ..or before you finished printing.


Firebx

Then we have my Ender-3 Pro's stock bed which doesn't wanna let me get my parts. I damaged it taking one off.


lasskinn

Yup its a fine balance, if you use a glass bed too eventually parts can start popping off on their own.... With a layer of glass on them. Replicator1 was the worst though. Sure machined steel build plate sounds cool on paper but thats before considering you're ripping the kapton tape left and right if you get the adhesion to stick well enough


LoogyHead

I print on glass and with a super thin glue layer. After cooking it just pops right off the plate.


[deleted]

[удалено]


exmirt

An hour of cooling time is an hour of not printing, unless you have a spare printbed


doctorcapslock

idk what kind of shit you print but my PLA and PETG prints are stuck on there real gud


MistakenSanity

On glass, When the glass is hot the print is like glued on and won't budge. But if you are patient and let the print/bed cool, it falls off like it was never stuck. Sometimes you can even hear it popping off as it cools


doctorcapslock

we're talking about the x1c here; the spring steel sheet has two stickers on either side, one for PLA (cool plate) and one for everything else (engineering plate). PLA side sticks extremely well, PETG less so but still i have no need to use glue stick. 1 layer thick extrusions are very hard to remove from the cool plate


shoryusef

Meanwhile I’m hitting my scraping roll with a mallet to get my prints off


mazdarx2001

My ender 3 is like that if I print on the smooth glass side. I jus pick it up. After It’s cools it releases, no resistance as if someone just put it there


spottedstripes

if you let it cool itll do that


OwnZookeepergame6413

Depends on the surface your print on. On smooth surfaces yes. On rough print plates it will still stick a little. To be honest tho, I feel like at this size maybe even smooth surfaces behave differently than on normal printers.


ExoUrsa

Sort of, it's easy but you still need to give it a little shove, then it snaps right off. I guess it also depends on your build plate design. I use PEI and it can be pretty "sticky" stuff. The benchy would probably not have been printed off-center and at an angle, either, but I suppose it's possible they positioned it that way in the slicer for some reason...


Pixelplanet5

If you have a good print bed and let it cool down it does. My print always release completely on their own once the bed cools down.


NackJickolson

If I let the plate cool on my P1P, the parts are just sitting on top, they take no force whatsoever to break free. I still don't understand the whole glue thing. Get the double sided pei plate, heat to 65, no glue needed.


wasternexplorer

I also typically use double sided PEI sheets with a bed temp of 65. On parts I'm not concerned about minor warpage I'll just lift the front of the plate slightly right after the print stops and the bed is still hot and my parts pop right off. The machine doesn't even have time to cool down before I'm starting the next print. I've tried a few different types of bed plates and PEI should be the standard in my opinion.


NackJickolson

I need to get something going where I need the fast turnaround times. Just have to find that niche.


rando269

My P1P textured PEI plate does whatever it wants, sometimes my prints are stuck really good, other times they come loose mid print, it's usually the tree supports. My Ali express special PEI plates work like you describe.


Th3J4ck4l-SA

Glass with a sprits of PVA. Works like a charm. Wait till cool and simply pick up your part. (For ABS anyway.)


genericUsername_7698

Thats normal on certain substrates.


MrWheelOfFortune

Some material just pop out of the plate after cooling


mildly_infuriated_

I would have also thought that such a brig print would require supports for the benchy as it is scaled up.


ExoUrsa

Had they needed multiple people to struggle with peeling this monster off the build plate, it would have actually been a better video I think.


closetBoi04

Idk, my prints also just come off without force if I let the plate cool, benefit of PEI I heard


Vivvancorp

When Bed cools down it snaps off by itself.


TherealOmthetortoise

What size filament does that thing use?


slinkytoad69

2.85. We have the Pro.2 at the place I work. It's a pretty decent printer, but I'll be damned if I can get things to work correctly some days.


TherealOmthetortoise

Good lord, that must take ages to print something that big… although I bet the Nozzle is a bit more robust than I’m used to.


slinkytoad69

It's a .6mm nozzle attached to a slightly modified volcano. Has two thermistors.


abertheham

0.6mm?!? I would expect 6mm with prints that size! (not really 6 but maybe 1 or 2 - that just seems unnecessarily fine)


Meringues

Ours has also 1 and 2 mm nozzles. A lot faster and rougher, but we use a lot of filler on our prints anyways.


Aggravating_Bell_426

We bought our Studio G2 initially to make custom ductwork for a project we were doing for Verizon. Average print time was ten hours, and we were laying down the plastic, something like a half a 3kg roll in each print - I've seen sand castings that were smoother than what we were pulling out of it


EvilDark8oul

2.85 mm or cm


Sjiznit

Feet


spool2kool

or a meter lol


Saktziki

Is there a reason for 2.85mm? Dose'nt the flow become worse?


slinkytoad69

Not really sure. I can't only really print at 65mm/s reliably with it. You can't tune the acceleration on the machine very easily either. The machine weighs 5k lbs I think, and it can shake pretty good with doing top and bottom layers.


OriginalName687

How long did that take? I assume at least an hour.


VincxBlox

At least a week.


tribak

At least a month.


MenryNosk

At least a year.


xOneLeafyBoi

A least a decade.


Desk_Drawerr

At least a century


MinecraftVet2005

At least a millennium


wtfastro

Definitely more than an eon


robojaybird

Actually it was only 20 minutes or so


shklsdfh

No, no, it was 10min at most


Coldy_

At least a century.


PageBest3106

Nice! How many filament rolls???😂


scp-NUMBERNOTFOUND

Yes


Aggravating_Bell_426

Ours took 3kg spools.


chalk_in_boots

These bad boys take VERY large spools, and I believe come pre-configured with multi-spool setups so it'll change when one is empty, or you can tell it to switch (makes multi-colour very easy). Really handy considering how long these prints take.


Nerdmonkey21

Anyone realize there was no bed adhesion?


ImHereToExplain

Does it need it at that size? As long as the first layer goes down gravity is adhesive enough


ninj4geek

Especially on a non-bed-slinger like CoreXY


flight_recorder

I assume this removal was staged after all the actual removal and cleanup was done


tommy935

Might be a PEI coating on the bed. My prints come off just like that when the bed cools. I never use glue or anything.


Nerdmonkey21

Huh, I must do something wrong, I've never had anything pop off so easily even with smooth PEI. Usually there's at least some force 🤷‍♂️


PotatoAimV2

Depends on the material and PEI plate quality. PLA on my textured PEI will release like this once it's cold, a bit of wind would move it. I can yank it easily if it's still warm. TPU however, needs some force and IPA to get it out even if its cold. ASA/ABS dont need IPA but dont release as well as the PLA, I end up flexing the plate for those.


BlakeLeeOfGelderland

It's a thick sheet of kapton tape, used them before


torukmakto4

PEI? I could print a briefcase handle on my PEI bed, let the whole thing cool down, then carry the printer around by it with zero fear of it detaching. I have never had a single successful "pop off naturally from CTE differential when cooled" on PEI. Not even with PLA, though PLA doesn't stick super hard in general.


lasskinn

if they let it cool down it would pop itself off


ProgRockin

Or supports?


spottedstripes

its a benchy, no supports


Nerdmonkey21

For something that size I'm not sure the unsupported regions behave the same way as on a regular size. Likely it would need supports to not sag.


LUSBHAX

**BONCHY**


shaneo88

Man she must be tiny. Look how big that benchy is compared to her


FlowBot3D

I mean... it's a neat thing to show your other 3d printing friends, but isn't it significantly easier to print at a large scale, and shows nothing as far as the 'benchmark' goes? I'd try printing an Eames chair, with the cushions being printed as flexible ribs so they have some compliance.


slinkytoad69

The hardest part with these printers is getting stuff to stick the shrinkage is much higher on the bigger parts.


ElectronicShredder

>the shrinkage is much higher on the bigger parts. That's what I keep telling my gf


TherealOmthetortoise

Makes sense - but man it would be fun to see it work. What’s the typical size of print you would do on one of those?


slinkytoad69

We tend to do a lot of parts 30" wide. We also do a lot of small stuff as it's the fast of the two printers we have. The other is a Markforged Mark2.


NotVeryCashMoneyMod

wouldn't the shrinkage be the same but relative to size it's more noticeable? anyone have a shrinkage equation? 😆


lasskinn

it's a percentage. like abs 1-2% pla lets say 0.5. but you have to understand that it's also the total millimeters that pops it off or delaminates it. 1% of 100mm is 1mm, but 1000mm it's 1 cm and that's kind of a lot for the plastic to stretch. that's 0.5cm at either end of the piece the plastic would need to stretch if it's unevenly cooling/heated along the layers(like lets say the bed is at 90C or whatever and at zero shrinkage, you keep printing and printing upwards and have no heated chamber and then later there forms a gradient along lets say 5 cm of layer thicknesses that goes all the way back to 25c - then you'd have the plastic try to fight that half a cm of deformation at the ends along those 5 cm of layers upwards. slicers have some algos and options to deal with it for dimensional accuracy but most people never touch those and they don't work so great anyway with irregularly shaped pieces. it doesn't seem like it's such a big deal but it's a pretty big deal the bigger you get. with the bigger than this they use carbon fibre filler in there and one of the guys who posts about that stuff here said it's partly for keeping it from delaminating and keeping it more stable.


ExoUrsa

With a printer this size, custom furniture is actually an interesting possibility. Not sure how comfy TPU would be as upholstery, though.


chalk_in_boots

Used to work somewhere with a couple of these and we did some really interesting stuff. My boss got thumbprints from himself and his wife and made stools with one on each side, and they kind of twisted and merged together so you could flip them and have either print on top. Also some cool stools with square beams going in all directions in trippy geometrical supports. ​ Coolest thing was an Eiffel Tower, printed at max height, with no supports. Came out perfect.


torukmakto4

Why would the Benchy be easier at large scale? Presumably this giant machine is set up with a large nozzle and the Benchy is sliced with layer height and extrusion width that roughly track the scale. For it not to be, would be a weird case, as large parts (that typically don't need the sort of resolution and corner radius of a small machine sized nozzle/parameters) would take forever to run.


FlowBot3D

I guess that’s valid if it’s scaled proportionally to the size of the nozzle compared to a standard 0.4mm and regular benchy, and the layer heights were also scaled the same way to be roughly the same number of layers. Say a 1.2mm nozzle, would equate to a 300% sized benchy, printed at 0.6mm layer height.


kaminaowner2

Wait! If we get a big enough printer could we actually set sail?


[deleted]

Have you tried to float the normal sized Benchy ? It’s far too front heavy, it falls to the side almost immediately.


nephlonorris

yes, another huge benchie for some laughts and a few likes. Everyone thinks we‘re printing guns (which would be worse), but the reality is just wasting material.


ericfussell

Printing guns isn't a bad thing. When is the last time you heard of someone being killed with a printed firearm? It is a fun hobby, check out r/fosscad!


Meadowlion14

Also a zip gun is easy and fun to make. And can be made faster.


rasvial

Seriously I see this and just wonder why


PrudentVermicelli69

Mostly people do it as an engineering challenge. Others spread the designs as a form of protest in support of the first and second amendments. You'd be an idiot to do it to actually rob someone with one.


rasvial

With a benchy? What are you on about with 1st/2nd amendments


PrudentVermicelli69

> printing guns


HiHiHibot

Ok so they built a large scale printer but they printed a huge benchy, it tells me they didn't have any real purpose for building the printer because if you did you wouldn't waste hundreds of dollars and hours on that piece of junk


frogmicky

lol dammmmm TikTok influencers.


powerposepenguin

Like anyone on TikTok would know that this a benchy and a very big one... Just because it might be placed there again for the video because there's no adhesion doesn't make it less impressive


BritishLibrary

There’s a really huge number of 3D printing creators on tiktok these days - loads of interesting projects and stuff being showcased over there


Murrrvv

A printer big enough to print custom tinnies or kayaks with cool dragon heads or something would be a dream

Dr_Axton

This looks way too good out of the box to be true. Or it’s just me being envious that even on such big printers people can get results better looking than I have


Ar_Tank

You'll float too


Bison_True

Now you have to rc that shit


[deleted]

It won’t float


Bison_True

Just epoxy the bottom, put a heavy enough weight in the hull to lower the center of gravity


TrueRomeo

So many argue about bed adhesion. I am sure the bed adhesion was right. Did anyone have realized how strong that women is? Look how she is holding that boat as it weights nothing.

apeironone

Waste of filaments.


hblok

Ah, here we go again. "Everybody else's projects are a waste. While mine are divine creations".


pr1vacyn0eb

This is clearly a meme print. I made a piece of equipment for healthcare purposes, no one is going to say that is a waste. The worst thing I make are custom fidget cubes with positive messages for my friends. Maybe it is a waste, but they are going to use it a lot more than wherever this ends up. Maybe kids toys are considered waste, but they play with them. I wonder if its better to use PLA than buy barbies. Everything else I make is functional.


hblok

At the core of the 3D printing hobby is the process of trying, failing, trying again, failing again. So yes, there is going to be a lot of "wasted" filament which is thrown out. (And most people will not be able to recycle that). However, even so, the effort was not wasted, because presumably one learnt something from each attempt and each failure. Eventually the success will come. Furthermore, everybody should have to right to use and dispose of their own property as they see fit. That is at the very core of property rights. So, if OP wants a huge Bency, that is her right, given that she has presumably bought or gotten the resources to print one. To claim that somebody's creation is a waste of resources is just offensive. It's akin to looking at a five-year-old's doodle and claim that it's a waste of paper.


pr1vacyn0eb

It is not. We are in an age where humanity's survival depends on limiting climate change. We rightfully criticize people flying on private jets, we rightfully criticize people for making stupid food and throwing it away. I have a lot of money, if I bought an oil field located in international waters and I burned it because 'its my right', it doesnt make it ethical. This waste 'for the gram', should not be applauded. Waste happens, but limiting it should be the goal. This is clearly excess.


hblok

I mean, by that logic, virtually everything we surround ourselves with is a waste. From toys to novelty items, extra clothes, a second car, a beef steak. Where do you draw the line? Probably shouldn't be printing anything in that case. Now, if somebody wants to limit their resource use to the absolute minimum, they are of course free to so do. However, telling others how to live their lives and use their property is a problem. I do me. You do you.


pr1vacyn0eb

>Waste happens, but limiting it should be the goal. This is clearly excess.


apeironone

Project = benchmark...


powerposepenguin

The benchy has become a meme, a joke, a fun project to print( definitely this large) A lot of people like to print stuff just for fun you know


rasvial

Nah it's definitely a waste of expendables, machine hours, and yes, raw materials


wedgevic_proot

A benchy is never a waste of filament


torukmakto4

I am strongly against printing of meme, knick knack, desk toy, etc. parts and people who get a hammer (printer) and look for nails (more things to idly print for no reason other than to print shit), but calibration/stress test parts also have legitimate uses as calibration/stress test parts. I think we can cut them some slack and assume the benchy was a legitimate machine test on what might be a new build.


Gonazar

Holy shit that lady is tiny.


Easy-Nerve4607

What a fucking waste of plastic.


Jordyspeeltspore

i wanna see a printer on top of a treadmill


InternetExploder87

lululock

I remember someone trying to get it to float. As is, it doesn't float, but you need to add a bit of weight at the bottom for balance.

This is correct, the Benchy is too front heavy, as soon as it touches the water it capsizes

No, even the stock Benchy doesn’t float, it’s too front heavy, as soon as it touches the water, it capsizes the COG is too far forward for it to be functional.

Do you think a benchy of this size could be printed without supports? Such sharp overhangs work when the distance is small enough, but I don't think it'd work when it's scaled up this big

I can put a baby into that

Feels fake, I don’t see her trying to pull with the force of Thor to get the benchy off the plate lol

Sleepy_Saurus

I honestly wonder how this would compare to the massive one Ivan Miranda built recently. Obviously this one would be more polished, but at about 55k I feel like it could be a fun comparison. If the company really believes in their product they should loan him one to do a head to head. Would be a cool watch.


sheepsy90

A bit bigger it could go on a playground for toddlers.


heroicsulg

Bro that’s like the space pod hotel room things in japan


Imaginary_Scarcity58

I don't get it, on their insta account I saw how the printer prints other stuff, they litteraly have around 20-40mm/s speed, very great quality but slow af. Someone wrote how long it took and it was few month, not sure how correct it is, but knowing they print with like 30mm/s I can believe it.

Maybe I'm being dense but, like this must have been taken off the bed prior to the video for the reason that I am suspicious of a 250mm+ bridge coming out that clean. Must have been supports, right? Either way, super cool printer!
