Thanks! Super happy with the final result on this one

Thanks so much! We need more comments like this please. 😅

Thanks! We will keep that in for our next video then 😊

Thanks! 😊There are two powders used on the wall, so I'm not sure which one you are referring to but? The brown powder is homemade pigment powder, and the stuff in the cup is superfine sawdust.

Thank you! Yes, all three of our printers have their own names 😁

@@TheForg3d Same here, my naming scheme is really bad Star Wars droid puns like R(3-D)2 or C-(3D)O for my 2 machines.

Love it! 😂

Omg yess! That's such a good idea 😁

We used to do that too! With our old enders 3s powerhouses 😂

You literally described the same thing they did? The cloth they dried it with was clearly microfiber. They just didnt use a cloth to wipe up their alcohol. Why do either of you use alcohol at all? Sterility has no effect on printing.

@@djangodoescomputer I meant when using Alcohol use a microfiber cloth, not just scrape it over the build plate, also regarding the cleaning of the plate, use a sponge, the plate will not be harmed in any way using a sponge. How are you going to get ASA or ABS of the build plate, but just sprinkling water on it?

​@@morgenkaffe Again, what video did you watch? She uses a sponge during the soapy cleaning part of the video, and she mentions it out loud, specifying to not use the scrubby side of the sponge (something I dont think really matters, I use the scrubby side on my teflon pans without worry, and that Zojirushi rice bowl.. Its not steel wool) As for using the alcohol with a cloth, I would do that before Id do what she did. letting it evaporate does literally nothing. but I also dont see any reason to use alcohol at all. I already cleaned it with soap. It does not need to be sterile. The only thing I can imagine is some types of oily residues might dissolve better in the alcohol? I have only ever printed in PLA+ and PLA. Do ASA and ABS leave residues that are better dissolved by alcohol than soap and water?

We use the soapy water to remove residue and the alcohol to sterilise the surface. Wiping off the alcohol with a cloth works but can leave residue itself, we find it works great and hasn't failed us in the last couple of years of printing 🙂

@@TheForg3d why would the surface need to be sterile? Bacteria dont eat filament or bed material. unless you are printing something for medical purposes there is no reason it needs to be sterile. It needs to be clean, and NilsEckelt is correct in saying any residues picked up by the alcohol wouid remain, including the corpses and associated slimes of any dead bacteria. But there arent any already, because you cleaned it, and Dawn soap kills most everything anyway. I would advise you to test without the alcohol step and see if you actually notice any difference at all, because in theory there is no way that is doing literally anything that could help. I'd love someone to explain if im wrong.

The soap would remove any microorganisms just fine, and the alcohol isn't going to keep it sterile anyways since it'll just be recolonized from exposure to ambient air alone. What it might do is evenly distribute whatever is left creating a more homogenous surface. That said, I question if it actually makes any difference.

We agree with some but not all sorry! ✌️ The gold plates are great yes but the older black plate is perfect for our usage case (mass produced car parts), we find that this process works perfectly on our small army of printers 💪

@@TheForg3d Yeah i did notice the old style black plates have less adhesion.. but they are thinner and easier to bend to get the parts off.

We have a lot of printers and washed all our beds after this 🙂

Definitely agree here, sometimes the rough side is needed but with our case it's often not 🙂

Could be the vapours over time caused it to melt slightly, acetone vapours are used to melt abs 3d prints so could be something like that? We keep the area vented and have the monitor on the wall to be safe from spills. 😊

That's what we said 😂

Hey, we used it to display infil patterns. Much easier to visualise the pattern than having to look it up on Google each time 😅

@@TheForg3d ok

Great tip! Thanks for sharing 😊

That sounds quite frustrating! What printer do you have? Fingers crossed more will be developed that you can use in the near future 😊

Thank you for watching 😊

2-4 hours from what im guessing.

Around 2 hours on this one :)

Thanks for your comment, It helps us fine tune our content during our early youtube days :). Unfortunately suppliers on Aliexpress change often so providing a link today may be dead by next month, we have however updated the video description to include our search terms on Aliexpress. Our aim this video is to be a very short overview of the beds and effects, We have a video planned for technical bed usage which will cover our settings and how to achieve that perfect transition effect ;)

Thanks! 🙂

Thanks again! 😊

Thanks again again! 😊

0.2 nozzle at 0.04 layer plus the colour changes takes ages 😭

Average multi color print if u want faster go tool changer

Thanks! 😄
