    20:00 Have you considered looking into MOPA laser sources? They are similar to the Q-Switched laser but, instead of having a set pulse width they have a variable pulse duration on the order of 2-500ns while also allowing for continuous wave operation. They are a bit more expensive then a regular Q-Switched laser but I did think that it would be better from a project standpoint as there is more information about it available and I believe it would be more flexible with other materials due to being able to control pulse power accurately.

    So, what I'm able to ascertain from the explanation of your process is.... It's hard to do... It took much deliberation on my part to arrive at my conclusion. I hope I was correct. Why on earth the algorithm decided I had even remotely enough brain cells to understand 3% of what you said in this, is further proof that AI won't be taking over any time soon. You sir, are an absolute genius, or at least I think you are based on how far above my head "somewhere around low orbit" everything you said was. Keep doing whatever it is you're doing. I'm absolutely sure it's groundbreaking.

    This has truly genius innovative ideas and thought processes. I’m honored by your work and excited to see the next iteration and how well it progresses. Depending on your final design, if you’re looking for investment and some help getting volume parts at the best rates as well as promotingpartnerships and more, please do reach out to me. Based on what I’ve seen so far I think you could reach a commercial price of around $3,000 to $2,000 sale price. But we can’t use argon or other chemicals for it to become the first ever desktop metal printer. Keep us all posted

    Did you try sandblasting the finished parts, may be able to clean it up a tad. I have a feeling you'll need a higher amperage laser, have you tried flooding the chamber with argon.... Just a thought.. maybe, you don't necessarily need a vacuum just the right conditions.

      Plenty. I replaced the laser source which took much longer to acquire than I had hoped (tried getting a couple of second hand units - didn't work out). The new laser introduced a series of new problems amongst those which already existed. The prints are looking tidier despite the issues. Next video should be out sometime in Jan.

  • @cripplingdepression8889
    @cripplingdepression8889 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Hey, here's an idea I thought could prove useful for the bed surface: You could use another metal for the bed, probably one that has good but not excessive bonding with the metal powder you're using, you could even go for a metal / alloy that could be dissolved / oxidized away or and I think this would be the best option, use a metal plated surface. If you were to metal plate a ceramic/glass material or simply another metal with one that will bond with your powder but can be dissolved away, you'll then have the possibility or reusing the beds by dissolving away the "support" metal plating, better yet you'd get a good finish on the parts without having to pry them away with pliers. Look up the different metal plating techniques, electroplating is popular and simple to implement, ionic deposition could also work as the building surface is rather small and ionic deposition chambers are rather simple to build. Then can work on metals but thanks to stuff like graphite paints you can even plate plastics and such with limited ressources. Great work dude, can't wait to see the next iterations of that project!

    pressurized atmosfere is just one way to get a viscosity increase on the media, you can use liquids to get similar resoults, oils may revent oxidation related problems, a small film may be enough with surface tentin on the particles, when dealing wit ferromagnetic metal dust, magnetizing the bed may also prevent scatering
