Great video! Really stunning quality as always. The time spent editing and getting shots is certainly worth your time, it makes these videos so engaging.
As someone whose meager 3D modeling knowledge comes from a video game development and computer graphics standpoint, it’s interesting that this method for adding rigidity and reducing warping is very similar to the idea of “bump maps”, which take simple polygonal models and make them appear detailed by simulating bumpy surfaces using a bitmap!
They've added normal maps! great! This is a significant improvement for at least 3 reasons: 1. reasons shown in this video 2. easy custom logo'ing or labelling 3. In the computer modelling world Normal/Bump maps are often used to add fine detail to a more simple geometry model. So adding normal maps to printing software allows those to be used natively, rather than having to make everything in geometry. *this is doubly great for making variations (EG character with or without scars, grippy handle or smoother version, etc) or fast modifications to existing designs.
Would be neat to be able to texture the interior wall only So a cylinder would have a smooth exterior but a matching inner cylinder with the waffle pattern
I still have yet to try my first 3D print, but this is probably the 15th video I've watched from Stefan. Thank you for your efforts and amazing content, Stefan!

Excellent, you get better and better. It's a joy to listen and watch your explanations! Rare to see that laid out with such methodology like you do. Thank you!
This is the slicer setting I didn't know I needed... Have been thinking a lot about how to manually add strengthening patterns to models but that's a lot of work.
This is a cool feature to add. I'd like to see transition options added to surfaces so that you could set inset distances where the texturing would start, and maybe add a fade in option. Would be nice to have this as a separate feature from the specific image file, so one file would be adaptable to a variety of prints.
This is how I’ve been making project enclosures. I use it exactly like extruded aluminum cases. The body of the case, which is what usually would take the longest to print, is printed in vase mode using 0.8 line width. Vertical lines give it stability while also letting me slot in a component sled. The end caps have grooves in them for the body. I’ve also figured out a way to print vents and screw holes for the end caps. All in vase mode.
i wonder how much of a difference this would make on your usual filament tests. i know you said it’s mainly for vase mode prints, but maybe you’d get some interesting results
I think the proportional increase in dimension from a thin wall to textured wall is significant enough to make a difference whereas a solid print having a bit of texturing is only a small proportional change in dimension. So it probably wouldn't have much of an impact on solid pieces
@@StumblingBumblingIdiot I haven't tested it enough to give you an direct answer but I would definitely say that the difference it makes is noticeable. The best pattern until now is a black and white triangle combination.
I gotta say it's really cool that you mention area moment of inertia cause that's what I learned about in school recently and have a test on in a few days and have been having trouble with. Didnt think I would see it talked about in a 3d printing video.
"Texturing" 3D prints like this is certainly useful. Doing it in the slicer, however, seems kind of gimmicky. I'd always opt to do it in the design phase, where I have as much control as possible.
i'm afraid that the golf ball texture makes it easier for the flow to detach from the surface, which is beneficial for the ball's flight... but is the exact opposite for an airplane, as it makes it stall easier (stall is caused by the flow above the wing detaching from the surface of the wing, reducing lift dramatically).
Personally I'm a fan and user of PrusaSlicer (since I have a Mk3s). I wouldn't mind this feature either in PrusaSlicer or in my CAD program of choice (FreeCAD). The advantage of putting this in CAD would be to easily put patterns only on parts of your model with high precision.
@@marcus3d If you mean me implementing this as a script (which I considered briefly) that would rely on me finding time for this, which is unlikely now that I'm doing a PhD.
Have done this kind of thing in 3d software like 3ds Max and Blender. Its the same method but dumbed down a bit and made easier to use. I put nice leather pattern onto a file for someone a few years ago and they were really happy with the results. Same principal as a lithophane.

I don't think I've missed one but may have cut one or 2 short as they didn't hold any interest for me
Holy moly you could use this to add automatic dimpling to aircraft wings, simultaneously adding strength with minimal weight. The golf ball theory of aerodynamics.
@@bob2859 if you can figure out a way to print it with an itty bitty hole in the middle of each dimple, then duct a little bit of thrust into each wing, the extra pressure would add stiffness, with the positive pressure making the dimples as slippery as snot on a slip and slide. Make the duct actuated, and get best of both. I know NASA tried something like this. The project was considered highly successful technically, but was killed by maintenance problems. Cleaning out all the little holes was prohibitively expensive on a full size jet wing. At a small enough scale you could just detach the wings and toss them in the dishwasher and/or ultrasonic cleaner. Edit: ducking speech to text.
He should. In the meantime, I put together a playlist of different videos regarding designing for 3D printing. I just added this video to it. th-cam.com/play/PLqvAdcudOOPsWwG-IPbB5byuk-zkXWKik.html
@@pup4301 You're welcome. Here is another playlist covering 3D printing itself, basically everything besides the design of the part itself. th-cam.com/play/PLqvAdcudOOPv_C34OrmY1RNq4LLMVFFed.html
@@pup4301 I have watched quite a few videos on resin printers, but it looks like I didn't save any of them. It looks like I didn't save many videos regarding the safety of FDM printing either; I should have. The resin is extremely hazardous. If it gets onto your skin, the resin will soak into your skin, and it will harden inside your body when your skin is exposed to UV light. This causes severe health issues related to the immune system that I don't recall off the top of my head. This toxicity is irreversible, only building up with every exposure. 3D printing resins have all the health risks of traditional resins plus far more serious risks. With how messy the resin is, keeping it completely off your skin is not a trivial task. And, the vapor is very toxic on top of this. While the results are amazing, I don't suggest resin printing. To do it safely, you need a proper full-face mask, long disposable gloves, and a multi-station workspace with great ventilation.
The relative success of the vertical line pattern reminds me of serpentine brick walls. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crinkle_crankle_wall They use far fewer bricks than a double-thickness wall, but are also much stronger than a single-thickness wall.
That's super cool.. I've never seen anything like that in person. It seems like a great way to be practical and add some style to an area at the same time. I like that kind of creative thinking in public projects and architecture.
Nice. For some reason I now want a hex dimple golfball. I doubt it would wrap without a pentagon but it would be a nice gimmick. As a tool I think this feature is very useful.
Incredible! I usually print structual parts so this video gave me a lot of ideas. And you are right..Ideamaker is not an easy slicer tool but when you get used to it it offers sooo many interesting features.
actually i think ideamaker its very easy and the other ones are the difficult. The past week i tried cura and prusaslicer for a while and i'm going back to Ideamaker One stupid thing in cura its the "vase mode" every time i have to go to the internet to remember the name that they use.
I honestly love ideamaker, it's been ablebto give me any setting I've ever needed and then some. Now with this I could make even cooler parts in the future!
Thanks Stephen. That's a really good explanation, which is really over look by people (well certainly me) when we want to print a object. I be saving this video as a reminder
Chill review. I think texturing of walls is a great idea for reducing wall thickness, and playing further with the flex and rigidity of a print - very good stuff.
Been toying with the idea of getting into 3d printing but it always seemed a bit daunting. Your videos are so informative and fun to listen to that I think I may go for it.
I just learned that trick of using a jpeg as a displacement for a mesh creating a texture. Not only does it make it stronger, but gives it a very nice finish at the end which could mask some of the printing imperfections
I've used that type of feature in modeling for many years, mostly for cosmetic purposes, but I'd find this all kinds of useful having this directly in a slicer. IdeaMaker continues to be one of my go-to programs even though I don't print directly out of it, it's built-in repair algo's are really decent, and dissecting things on the fly is super useful if you don't need it keyed.
This is so cool! I print so many bins and containers that would benefit from this texturing for either aesthetic or stiffening reasons. I hope PrusaSlicer takes this up in the future!
I think a cool application of this texturing would be making stamps or ruling pins for art projects (specifically when working with clay or dough) Also you could add a golf ball dimple pattern to various prints for improved aerodynamics.
This is found on alot of american piping especially plastic piping used for drainages, they use "ribs" to help make them more strong and durable underground
Textured or smooooth? What's your preference?
Don't forget to like & subscribe and share this video on Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and other platforms!
Textures hide the layers, so I would go with textured! And thanks for the video I have been vawaiting for it. Keep it up!
Its on a case to case basis, if it is needed do it
Maybe both! a smooth outer wall with a textured inner wall that protrudes to the interior of the model. Like stiffened skins on airplanes =D
I have actually been experimenting with this using SolidWorks' 3Dtexture tool, using displacement maps like this but not to increase stiffness in vase mode prints but for visual reasons, adding a pattern but also adding a noise layer on top which is extremely effective at reducing the visibility of layer lines.

Agreed, hide this on the inside and allow the infill patterns to overlap...man, PLA wet could be strong...
What you're requesting makes no sense. Your print would be full of gap-filled areas where the bumps are.
Also a new N-Layer Vace mode would let you decide on the strength and set them separately for inside and outside.

Thanks Stephen. That's a really good explanation, which is really over look by people (well certainly me) when we want to print a object. I be saving this video as a reminder
Chill review. I think texturing of walls is a great idea for reducing wall thickness, and playing further with the flex and rigidity of a print - very good stuff.
This is such a great idea! Amazing!
Been toying with the idea of getting into 3d printing but it always seemed a bit daunting. Your videos are so informative and fun to listen to that I think I may go for it.
I've been banging on about ideamaker for ages. Best slicer out there 😉
It's definitely another great alternative!
Thank you Stephan, good job. Un véritable apport a l'impression 3D.
Definitely want to see some tests done on differently textured parts and I think you’re the perfect person for that!
Super feature! I had to try this and darn, YESSS I love it. Thank you very much for this great tip Stefan! Vielen Dank! ;-)
I just learned that trick of using a jpeg as a displacement for a mesh creating a texture. Not only does it make it stronger, but gives it a very nice finish at the end which could mask some of the printing imperfections
You have educated and entertained me! You are awesome!
I've used that type of feature in modeling for many years, mostly for cosmetic purposes, but I'd find this all kinds of useful having this directly in a slicer. IdeaMaker continues to be one of my go-to programs even though I don't print directly out of it, it's built-in repair algo's are really decent, and dissecting things on the fly is super useful if you don't need it keyed.
Its crazy how something as simple as texturing can make something so sturdy. I believe our trachea uses the same type of texturing.
I was considering getting into 3d printing so this is so helpful
Thank you very much for this video! I believe this will help me a lot in one of my projects.
This is so cool! I print so many bins and containers that would benefit from this texturing for either aesthetic or stiffening reasons. I hope PrusaSlicer takes this up in the future!
A new N-layer Vace Mode would let us decide on how much strength for simple containers, such as Gridfinity, yet save material.
I think a cool application of this texturing would be making stamps or ruling pins for art projects (specifically when working with clay or dough)
Also you could add a golf ball dimple pattern to various prints for improved aerodynamics.
This is found on alot of american piping especially plastic piping used for drainages, they use "ribs" to help make them more strong and durable underground
Thank you, I was getting comfy with Cura and Superslicer. Now this is something that I really miss in both of the programs.
So much useful!!! Very thanks from Argentina!
This is going to make adding brick or stone patterns to tiles and models for tabletop so easy...
