[1381.64 --> 1382.46] Not yet. |
[1382.60 --> 1385.22] Looking forward to it, though, but not quite yet. |
[1385.48 --> 1385.70] Yeah. |
[1385.70 --> 1386.80] It's a world of pain. |
[1387.12 --> 1387.86] Not at all. |
[1388.04 --> 1395.70] I mean, I'm familiar with TPU in that I've purchased phone cases before, but as far as actually making it myself, no, I haven't. |
[1396.54 --> 1404.54] So with the Creality CR10 I used to have in London, I was printing a lot of drone parts, as I said, which included stuff like GoPro mounts. |
[1404.54 --> 1410.52] Like I say, when I smashed into a tree, I wanted some give in the part, so it didn't just smash into a thousand pieces. |
[1410.52 --> 1427.24] And with the CR10, it had what's called a Bowden tube extruder, which essentially means that the gearing which feeds the filament into the hot end is on the main body of the printer connected to the extruder via plastic or nylon tube. |
[1427.24 --> 1430.58] Whereas the Prusa has what's called a direct drive extruder. |
[1430.58 --> 1447.32] And I've had a lot of success 3D printing with the flexible filaments on the Prusa simply because there's a lot less chance for a flexible filament to kind of collapse on itself and start tying itself in knots like spaghetti on the direct drive printers. |
[1447.32 --> 1458.06] Yeah, I haven't had much experience, actually no experience with TPU yet, but from what I've heard, the direct drive is kind of the way to go for that. |
[1459.10 --> 1467.50] Because, and depending on the extruder itself, right, the extruder itself can have one gear or multiple gears in it. |
[1467.50 --> 1478.56] So with multiple gears, you're able to pull filaments that are maybe a little bit more difficult to pull through and through the hot end and out the nozzle. |
[1478.82 --> 1480.56] So I'm looking forward to it. |
[1480.64 --> 1483.68] I kind of want to print my own phone case, but we'll see. |
[1484.18 --> 1488.56] I don't want to buy a whole roll and then just be sad because I can't print with it. |
[1488.66 --> 1490.46] And now I have a whole roll of TPU. |
[1490.84 --> 1494.86] One thing I will say is TPU is incredibly hygroscopic. |
[1495.12 --> 1496.70] So just bear that in mind. |
[1496.70 --> 1500.98] There are some more exotic filaments, you know, there's carbon fiber based ones. |
[1501.10 --> 1506.16] But once you start getting out of those main three that we talked about, so PLA, PETG and TPU, |
[1506.80 --> 1513.18] once you go outside of those three mainstream ones, there are significant compromises to be made with all the different other plastics that are available. |
[1513.56 --> 1515.46] There are too many for us to get into today. |
[1516.04 --> 1520.16] But that's an overview of most entry level filaments for most beginners. |
[1522.52 --> 1524.22] Leno.com slash SSH. |
[1524.22 --> 1527.34] Go there to get $100 and 60 day credit on a new account. |
[1527.54 --> 1529.12] And you go there to support the show. |
[1529.22 --> 1532.90] What I love about Linode, straight up, it's fast, reliable cloud hosting. |
[1533.16 --> 1534.78] And you should really go try it for your next project. |
[1535.10 --> 1539.30] It also makes for great R&D if you want to learn something and spin it up super quick. |
[1539.62 --> 1543.50] I guess back in the day, I used to fuss a lot more with VMs on my workstation. |
[1543.50 --> 1547.96] But these days, I just jump on the Linode dashboard and I get it going in no time. |
[1548.02 --> 1554.92] And one of the things I love is when I'm setting up a system, you can actually get console access through an SSH session. |
[1555.10 --> 1557.30] They even just give you the command right there in the dashboard. |
[1557.50 --> 1560.92] You highlight that, copy that thing, post it into your terminal. |
[1561.24 --> 1567.44] You hit that sucker in and then you're actually like in an SSH session looking at the console of your Linode machine. |
[1567.76 --> 1568.76] It's awesome. |
[1569.16 --> 1572.24] It's just those kinds of things that make it fun for when you really want to get down deep. |
[1572.24 --> 1575.08] But they also have like the one-click deployments of stuff. |
[1575.58 --> 1577.28] You know, like maybe you want to do a GitLab. |
[1578.38 --> 1579.58] Maybe your own Jitsi server. |
[1579.66 --> 1580.50] Get rid of that Zoom. |
[1580.80 --> 1582.46] One-click deployments for that kind of stuff. |
[1582.68 --> 1585.16] And they've been rolling out PCIe MVME storage. |
[1585.28 --> 1587.04] So things are real nice and fast. |
[1587.18 --> 1589.10] And they have 11 data centers around the world. |
[1589.16 --> 1593.44] So you're going to find something close to you or your clients or whoever you want it to be close to. |
[1593.48 --> 1594.86] Because there's 11 of them. |
[1596.08 --> 1598.16] And Linode's been doing this for 18 years. |
[1598.16 --> 1602.14] And they just keep dialing it in and making it better and better. |
[1602.24 --> 1603.40] So go see it for yourself. |
[1603.78 --> 1604.80] Use it for your next project. |
[1605.02 --> 1605.68] Deploy something. |
[1606.28 --> 1607.64] Maybe run a game server up there. |
[1608.02 --> 1610.08] Go have fun and use our promo code and get $100. |
[1610.54 --> 1612.94] It's linode.com slash SSH. |
[1612.94 --> 1621.20] So then there's a question about do I need an enclosure to 3D print? |
[1621.70 --> 1623.90] And the answer is maybe. |
[1624.90 --> 1629.30] I mean, there are a lot of factors that kind of go into it. |
[1629.38 --> 1634.82] But the main one is do you need to really contain the heat for one? |
[1634.82 --> 1644.78] And two, are there environmental variables in the area that you're going to put your 3D printer that you might benefit from using an enclosure? |
[1644.92 --> 1649.40] And in my particular case, I have lots of pets with lots of loose fur. |
[1650.14 --> 1653.12] And that was the primary reason that I bought one. |
[1653.12 --> 1656.88] And I'm pretty sure it saved a number of my prints already. |
[1657.88 --> 1658.32] Yeah. |
[1658.40 --> 1665.56] I mean, there's lots of cases I've had where just, you know, a single corner has lifted on a print for no discernibly good reason. |
[1665.66 --> 1668.66] And then I realized that the air conditioning kicked on halfway through that print. |
[1668.66 --> 1677.62] And I'm like, huh, I wonder if that draft from that vent up there was just enough to cause that part to cool down just enough to lift or something. |
[1677.88 --> 1681.18] So, yeah, like you say, it's highly dependent on your environment. |
[1681.48 --> 1684.14] It's also highly dependent on the plastic that you're using. |
[1684.34 --> 1688.10] So some plastics give off odors and smells. |
[1688.10 --> 1693.66] And sometimes you might want to actually extract those fumes away from the printer from the enclosure. |
[1693.66 --> 1705.12] But generally speaking, most people run an enclosure to prevent, like you do, pet hair or dust or to maintain some kind of temperature for more finicky plastics like ABS. |
[1705.66 --> 1721.84] I could see it being really valuable to have your printer in an enclosure if, say, you had your printer in your garage and the ambient temperature of your garage may shoot down during the winter or, you know, different variables just in the area in which your printer is. |
[1721.84 --> 1731.24] So I could see there being, you know, some uses other than just to help maintain the dust and noise and fumes of a printer. |
[1732.82 --> 1733.82] Yeah, totally agree. |
[1733.94 --> 1736.16] Garage is a great shout, particularly in a garage as well. |
[1736.22 --> 1742.00] You're going to end up with a lot of environmental debris in there because they're not as well sealed as a house, for example. |
[1742.36 --> 1749.58] So, all right, should we take a few moments to discuss the various different printers that we all have and the gear that we've got? |
[1749.64 --> 1750.16] Yeah, let's do it. |
[1750.16 --> 1751.28] Drew, would you like to go first? |
[1751.84 --> 1753.22] Sure, as the newbie here. |
[1753.80 --> 1761.82] So I bought an Ender 3 Pro, which I then very quickly upgraded various parts of. |
[1762.52 --> 1773.44] One thing that I saw on the Ender 3 subreddit that I really, really enjoy is that when you buy an Ender, you're not buying a 3D printer. |
[1773.62 --> 1775.96] You're buying a do-it-yourself 3D printing kit. |
[1776.36 --> 1776.90] Yes, you are. |
[1777.04 --> 1777.32] Yes. |
[1777.32 --> 1780.10] And that is absolutely so true. |
[1780.10 --> 1784.32] I have replaced a number of things on my printer already. |
[1784.32 --> 1788.40] I went from the Bowden tube setup to a direct drive. |
[1788.40 --> 1802.80] And I've also replaced the original hot end with an all-metal one, which is to say the original one had a piece of plastic tubing that goes all the way down almost to the nozzle to feed the filament. |
[1802.80 --> 1819.28] And the one I replaced it with has a fully metal body so that you don't have the issue of if you print it too high of a temperature that that tubing starts melting inside the hot end, which can happen once you start getting into things like PETG. |
[1819.28 --> 1822.16] So I just didn't want to deal with that. |
[1822.24 --> 1824.52] I went ahead and upgraded to the direct drive. |
[1825.02 --> 1829.34] I've also upgraded to what's called auto bed leveling. |
[1829.34 --> 1849.50] So with a normal 3D printer out of the box, typically, at least for the lower end ones, you have to manually go down there and measure down to the millimeter every corner and adjust the height so that it is the same distance from the nozzle all across the whole bed. |
[1850.46 --> 1853.14] Potentially every single time you print as well. |
[1853.18 --> 1853.72] Exactly. |
[1853.72 --> 1859.50] Sometimes the vibrations of the previous print cause your calibrations to be off. |
