Your videos are a delight, Mr. Ross. Thank you for all of them!
Glad you like them!
Thank you for the review.
I hope it was helpful - cheers mate
🤔 Oooo, is that a GRAPHENE transfer!? I'm excited for the the big reveal! Great work, thanks for sharing ✌️✨
cheers mate
I’d recommend against PETG-CF in that application. CF fill is great for rigidity, but is usually detrimental to layer adhesion. Plain PETG or TPU are fantastically coherent materials, though both lacking in stiffness. If you can compensate for that with geometry, you don’t need to worry about the layer separation, abrasive breakdown, and shedding that are almost inherent to filaments with CF fill.
cheers mate
One other thing of note, carbon fiber is abrasive & will eventually start damaging the hot-end & applicator tip gradually increasing the bead of the extrusion without reinforced tips etc. Didn't know anything about this printer yet, so if it doesn't come with them just something to keep in mind. CNC Kitchen did extensive testing different tips & all if you're more interested in the details.
Thank you for your videos.
Glad you like them!
Thanks Robert 👍💪✌
cheers mate
Thanks mate Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I made the four aces from a poker deck on my Creality. They may have been two layers. I had previously done an extrusion calibration and did these to test if the extrusion rate was proper since such a thin print would show how well the calibration turned out. BTW, I modeled the cards in Tinkercad.
Oh wow! - that is awesome
Yet another insightful video, thanks for sharing. I know you said weren't going to print a Benchy with the new Centauri Carbon. but since it is an excellent and fast way to characterize the status of a printer and in cases like this, an excellent way to compare the latest kit to hit the market, may I request you crank out one of whatever Elegoo has as their presliced speed Benchy? I have a K1C that came with a 16 min Benchy stored in memory. after a few simple mods, Ive managed to get the time down to just under 10 minutes using not just PLA but high temp engineering filaments like ABS-GF and Fiberons PET-CF, PPS-CF. Since hearing of Elegoos answer to the Carbon series of printers, ive been looking forward to seeing how they perform. thanks again for the video!!
ok mate - will do
Awesome 🎉
cheers mate
Hi Robert. I recently rewatched your electrostatic generator video, and I was wondering if you'd be able to incorporate a permanent static magnet (psm) as a possible power source? I watched another guy create one (psm) by applying an electric charge to a conductive material as it was setting in a mould
it is an electret mate and an interesting idea cheers
Are either of those filaments conductive? Potential printed circuit? Cheers!
no sorry
ChatGPT in 1s:
"Yes, there are conductive 3D printer filaments available on the market. These filaments are typically made by blending standard thermoplastics (like PLA or TPU) with conductive additives such as carbon black, graphene, or metal powders. Here are some popular options:
1. Conductive PLA (Carbon-Based)
Examples: Proto-pasta Conductive PLA, Blackmagic3D Conductive Graphene PLA
Resistivity: ~15 Ω·cm to 115 Ω·cm (higher resistance, suitable for low-power circuits)
Applications: Touch sensors, low-power LED circuits, capacitive touchpads
2. Conductive TPU (Flexible)
Examples: NinjaTek Eel Conductive TPU
Resistivity: ~1,000 Ω·cm
Applications: Flexible circuits, wearable electronics
3. Graphene-Enhanced Filaments
Examples: Graphene 3D Lab Conductive Filament
Resistivity: Lower than carbon-only filaments, better conductivity
Applications: Advanced sensors, electromagnetic shielding
4. Metal-Based Filaments
Examples: Electrifi Conductive Filament (by Multi3D)
Resistivity: As low as 0.006 Ω·cm (much lower resistance, suitable for higher current applications)
Applications: Power circuits, antennas, RF shielding
---
Key Considerations:
Resistance: Conductive filaments are not as conductive as copper or traditional wires. They’re suitable for low-power applications.
Print Settings: Typically require slightly higher temperatures than standard PLA (190-230°C depending on the material).
Nozzle Wear: Some filaments with metal particles can wear down brass nozzles-consider using hardened steel nozzle."
@@maxbiagi3091 There are conductive filaments that include CF. However, the majority of filaments which include CF particles are not electrically conductive. Those which are have been specifically designed for that property, and tend to be much more expensive. There are few applications where inclusion of CF is beneficial; they improve tensile strength at the expense of brittleness. I agree with Sam Hughes that these components are probably better in plain PETG. Perhaps RM-S can do some material testing like My Tech Fun??
I've read about the corrosiveness of CF filaments.
Rob, do you think a Graphene filled filament would have the same corrosive effects as carbon fiber?
I would think not actually mate - but i don't really know to be honest
Print origami for the win!
indeed
Would the carbon print fibre be any good for Battery plates or current collectors etc?
no mate - it's not conductive
Depending what you used to slice each of these Bambu's default print settings tend to put the first layer at like half the speed of the rest as well which could be part of the discrepancy.
That's also true for elegoo's and other corexy default settings as well.
@mengeletalon8151 okay. Good to know. Thanks
It's not mate - I have been using both machines side by side for a few weeks now - this was done a while ago and i had to keep it secret - the elegoo is consistently faster throughout a print
@ThinkingandTinkering good to know.
@@ThinkingandTinkering What will be more interesting is when Elegoo reveal the pricing of the Centauri Carbon, and whether it has an AMS equivalent.
It must be me but I don't get the bit about the transfer. Did I miss something?
all will be revealed mate lol
My three Phase Serpentine coil with 10 magnets is giving me a combined 20 volts in series. Individual coils are giving 1st one 13 to 15 volts max, 2nd one 8 to 9 volts max and the 3rd one 5 volts max. All coils are about 180 windings with the 1st and 2nd.0.5 mm and the 3rd 0.63 mm. Why is the total combined voltage not adding up to 26 volts at least?
well to be honest probabl because the angle your magnetic field is cutting the wire is not the angle you think it is - remember sine of 0 is 0
Ho ho ho, with a single latch hook you can learn to mend holes in jumpers and socks. Good luck!
awesome mate - cheers
😊
