About Slant 3D
🏭 High-Volume 3D Printing: Scalability Meets Flexibility
Slant 3D's Large-Scale 3D Print Farms utilize 1000's of FDM 3D printers working 24/7 to offer limitless scalability and unparalleled flexibility. Whether it's 100 or
100,000 parts, our system can handle it reliably, while still allowing for real-time design updates, ensuring products evolve with the times. This adaptability is key in today's fast-paced world.
🌿 Sustainable Manufacturing: Eco-Friendly Efficiency
Embrace a system that drastically reduces carbon emissions by eliminating carbon-intensive steps in the supply chain, such as global shipping and warehousing. Our approach minimizes this footprint, offering a more sustainable manufacturing option.
⚙️ Digital Warehouses: Parts On-Demand
Think of print farms as a "Digital Warehouse", meaning we can store your parts digitally on a server rather than physically on a shelf. parts are available on-demand, reducing the need for extensive physical inventory.

Think has expired. Links expire unless the "Never Expire" option is selected when creating.
What about batch heating the bin and the petg can be skimmed like slag? Honestly, I'm curious.
I use "free" recycling with a print farmfilament company in Missouri. I won't mention the site directly out of respect for Slant and because I like Tangled's filament.
There was another factor: the post office has a special low rate for shipping media (including books). A 1 pound book costs $2.80 to ship. A 1 pound box (that is not a book) costs $4-$6 to ship.
Interesting perspective. (regarding Amazon)
Wonder if filament could be considered as a "media" for producing 3d content? (regarding Tangled Filament)
Nope, blank CDs and DVD's aren't even considered Media Mail eligible. I once mailed a holiday card with a book to a relative and they returned the package to me saying it could not be delivered with personal letters included...... @@AerialWaviator
As an Austinite Id love to stop by an open house
not a bad British accent.....Cheerio!
As far as Amazon question, even if you used the mail, postage on books was significantly lower than postage on anything else at the same weight. It was called (I think it still is called this) media. As a result, even if there was no other shipping options available, and the customer wasn't paying for faster shipping, it could be dropped in the mail with significantly lower cost of shipping than pretty much anything else you could sell. The same applied to Netflix and movies on CD's, it was 'media' mail that was significantly less expensive, even to include prepaid return materials.
Oh, this applies to Audible or Books on Tape as they started their business.
Gabe, this was one of your best eps. Thank you for your work.
What do you look for when hiring "on the floor" employees for Slant 3D, especially considering the innovative and rapidly evolving nature of the 3D printing industry; are there certain "types" of people that fit best in that role?
Is there a hint of a thought in your company to sell your proprietary printers to endusers? There has to be something after Bambu lab :-). April 1 video was fun. There is a bit of truth in every joke.
Question: What have I not received any responses to my multiple request for quotes for your ETSY API service?
The Etsy app is free to use any time you prefer. All you need to do is sign up , connect your store and upload some files. It will automatically provide costs, etc
@@slant3d Okay, but I still submitted RFQs and haven't received any responses, even to tell me to do it a different way. The RFQs have just gone into a black hole.
Filamentive is very young, so I expect they'll scale in time, if there is demand to do so, and may yet improve their processes (eg. density separation, washing, etc).
I think the more challenging thing would be determening the number of recycles. PLA loses its quality (AFAIK) each time it's recycled, and if you're broadly mixing materials, as recycling volume goes up quality goes down. It may require some type of automated 'test' of each incoming batch, but how to determine this is anyone's guess -- maybe it's a function of viscosity.. I hear PET goes from a honey to cream if repeatedly melted (but this can be reset with a controlled heat treatment).
If you always add a fixed percentage of virgin polymer in your recipe, you'll never really have a bad enough degradation from thermal cycling/thermal history to say that it's now "bad quality" filament, the baseline will be maintained with, say 35% virgin material to keep a "good enough" quality for it to extrude into filament that will match this ISO 5425:2023 standard, once it is approved as an international standard.
@@GP3D_Designs Wow! That's amazing information! Thank you for your insight.
Sorry but I often ask people questions I already suspect that I know the answer to personally. This is not a lack of humility however as in all honestly I cannot say for sure that I definately know anything in absolute certainty. I also make statements simply to observe how people respond to my statements. I guess we all think differently. This is just how I strive to learn. Maybe I am just like a kid that keeps on asking his parents the same question to everything they say, "but whhyyyyyyy??"
why did he read the ad spot in mocking voice 😂😂
Hahahaha the British accent hahahaha
Honestly, this could be a new thing, every episode has a different way to pay the bills. I highly suggest the old kung fu non English dub style hahahaha
Sounded like Stewie from family guy
. . . Ah, VERY good (!) & broad lesson/tutorial on acquiring knowledge (in general/beyond just AI 'prompting') . . .
14:00 "It's so valuable in the world right now that there are roads to ship stuff from one place to another".
I guess you meant "it's so valuable in the FIRST world right now", because for the rest of us in the other 85% of the world population who live in the third world, selling 3d printed products don't work precisely because shipping is usually more expensive than the product itself.
Don't get me wrong, I 100% support the existence of print on demand, it can even be used by third world people to set up a business remotely in the first world. Just a friendly reminder that to most people in the world, 2-day Amazon shipping is a pipe dream.
(And yes, I know it's our own fault for continually voting for anti-free-market protectionist, socialist politicians.)
That filament recycling program is a joke, fiddling and waste of effort. Needs to be true industrial scale, not rely on users.
There's no solutions to get high quality at other end cost effectively _yet_, breaking down the chemistry is only way for that effectively.
In the meantime, perhaps melt all different plastics into large sheets, bricks etc. for low quality uses where the variances are acceptable.
