I would love to see a video about all the crazy pla filament. Like wood fill, magnetic, glowing, etc
G6stock tldr, woodfill clogs, magnetic is magnetic, glow in the dark shreds nozzles
Marco Pulone lol
@@Egress. been printing with woodfill for years never had a clog
Be extremely careful with any filament containing metal. You may want to consider wearing a respirator and having ventilation.
@@DrZbo Do I also need a full hazard suit?
Woah Devin kept his shirt on!!
lol thought the same thing
Boooo! :D
Sadly...
I'd love to see a video on that "slicer trickery" for the OP-1 cover
me too. I will subscribe if he makes that video
Yes, please!
I'd be very intrested in that aswell 😊
Another vote for this too 🙋♂️😁
Slicer trickery, eh? That would make a good video! Just sayin'... 😉
> Doesn't sound too exciting
You underestimate how exciting functionality can be. I looooove making drawers.
cool cool
That printed cover is mad! Sick execution. Great unique upload ha! 🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀🇦🇺
Personally my favorite filaments are the ones from extrudr. Its a austrian company. They have pla in Matt and glossy as well as fluorescent and glowing under black light. I’ve gotten about 6 spools of them and they are all great. The printing temperature is the same on every filament (215C/60C). The spool comes in 1.1 kilos and costs around 40 bucks in Switzerland.
I don't know what it's like in other regions, but being somebody that lives in california, buying directly from poly alchemy can have you getting elixir and FX fools for $25 a kilogram come up which basically makes them a no-brainer over filaments that you would get on Amazon for say $20 to $23
My mother just surprised me with three rolls of elixir after I was telling her how beautiful it is! She got me the emerald city, aquamarine, and nightshade, and I am sooooo excited for when they get here
Most of my filaments are from a brand called Spectrum. They’re from Poland and I don’t know whether or not they’ve appeared on the American market but they’re really high quality for their price
casually prints Andrew Yang campaign stuff
Uhh
@@supersilkygamer9007 2:30
I live in Arizona so the spools never tough humidity so I’ve had spools of cheap plastics from 4 years ago that still work great
I live in Phoenix, I had rolls I didnt know about in the shed over the summer (and the small monsoon season), they defiantly degrade with heat and moisture...
Same, I'm in Colorado and never dry filament because it's usually around 0% humidity.
“Stay inspired” is the best goodbye.🏆
If you have a Micro Center near you, they sell a wide variety of Inland filaments which are nice to use! They're around the $20 range too.
I had really bad experience with them. The pla I got in white was very rough and ate through my feeding tubes while causing several jams through the added friction. I have never experienced this before.
Saw those yang gang prints
Ian Reid oof
@@infinate3529 oof what?
Yes I've been waiting for a video like this!
Those are some coool prints and filaments too. Makes me want to make something aesthetic.
If you're making something mechanical, it's crazy to see the strength differences between brands. Some just snap apart easily and some stick together really well. The cheap monoprice PLA was stronger than a lot of the more expensive stuff.
Prusament is around 20€ and is one of the best PLAs I have ever used. Also within 0.02mm accuracy and really nice colors
Not good for people in America though.
I also print Prusament.
@@moth.monster Indeed it's $60 here
Nice review of various filaments. Any other recommendations folks? I really like Mattforge filament which helps reduce layer lines
Ooh...that printer was wildly faster than I thought it was going to be :)
2:40 YANGGANG!!!!
Yeah... We all saw it.
We watched the video, too.
A model of the finished version of the Crazy Horse monument in granite PLA would be sweet. Thanks for sharing another rad vid man.
I normally just use £20 per kg pla for parts in kits I make and it's decent and prints ok, but I brought some Protopasta htpla and I have to say the print quality blew me away it just looks so much better than the cheaper stuff I had before and I had no first layer problems with it when printing circles and more complex shapes. So I can see it's worth spending that extra if you have a special project and want a good quality print.
There are a wide range of companies putting out effect filaments now. Atomic Filament has their speciality PLAs for under 35/kg as does FilamentOne. Both of those are made in US for those state-side, and have free shipping as well. No need to pay 60/kg for the nice stuff!
It'd be cool to see what you think of various semi-flex filaments, like inexpensive TPU, Ninjaflex, etc.
3d Solutech has a great cheap tpu
Supper helpful! As a causal hobbyist, I'm not printing all the time. So, I was confused as to why my filament that was great out of the box would suddenly turn into dried pasta.
I hope to look into the ones you recommended when I need to restock. Thanks.
To anyone thinking about this, try storing the filaments in a container with some silica drying pellets or packages. It should make the moisture effect minimal.
How did you do the design on the top of the cases, velocity painting?
Thank you for the your channel and very informative information.
How did you get that effect on the op1 cover?
Yes we NEED to know! Please Tell us :D
Make anything,
Would you recommend overture pla filament? Amazon sells it for less than $15 and I just recently got into using a 3d pen thanks to you.
I think Amazon Basics actually discontinued their line of filament already. It seems to be branded as Overture now, but they only offer it really basic colors (black, white, gray, red, and blue). Kind of a shame because I always meant to try them out, so I guess I’ll just be sticking with Hatchbox for now.
ProtoPasta also makes matte filaments (in Oregon!). Along with some other types.
Can't wait to see you go Four for Four!!
They made a new metal filament made for sintering. It's called ultrafuse 316L. Its super expensive but you should check it out!
On your advice - got the Spidermaker matte paper white paper PLA- calibrated and printed a few things Looks great on small objects, but my roll has poor diameter quality control, so I get layer lines popping out on larger objects where a thinner diameter section goes over a thinker part.
I notice the don't specify the +/- diameter tolerances on packaging or website. It's great PLA in terms of composition, nearly no stringing, great removal of supports. If only they had the quality control to go with it. What can you say about the rolls you have - any issues with diameter variation or quality control?
MY BOY ANDREW YANG!!!
Please make a video about the OP-1 cover print. I'm guessing it's just different shapes overlapping then having different top/bottom patterns on each but I'd love to see a video on it.
The Inland PLA+ brand you can get a microcenters. I have found just prints amazing, at a wonderful price 20~25 dollars. It is also extremely tough. The one thing I would say is set up filtration just incase. Doesn't smell like normal PLA.
Overture pla is also a great budget option!
Was hoping to see Prusament filament and what you thought of it.
You should make a video of your setup, such as your computer lay out where you design and where all of your printers are and how they are set up
What filament did you use for that large blue vase on the right side of the screen? That would be perfect for a Sub-Zero statue.
Please share that OP1 cover my friend has one and my old ender 3. He'll love it
I want to see more filiments like these
Nice vid love hearing what people think about different filaments. One question, have you used the polyalchemy elixir natural? I heard people say they have used PAE white but I've never found any. Is the natural a white color? I am looking for a shiny bright white and I'm afraid the natural will have a yellow tint. Thanks! 😁
I do have a spool but haven't printed with it yet. On the spool it is quite white but I guess very slightly yellow. I'd call it a pearl white
Ok might have to give it a try. Thanks for the reply! 😁😋😜
Most of the time I´m using CCTREE Filament wich I never had any Problems with.
Hey I love the videos! I was wanting to buy a 3D printer but wanted to go as cheap as possible without laking quality my high is around $200 but if you think I should buy something for more that is fine. Just wondering what you thought. Thanks :)
how do you like the Gizmo dorks or the Sunlu brand ? i'm just curious as to how they are.
I just use poly maker white and teal, works great on the cr-10s and the panowin/trinus
I find my polymaker filament gets brittle very quickly. I've had several spools break at many points :\
@@make.anything interesting, mine didnt react to anything yet but ill see if it happens. I've seen dream maker filaments break very easily.
yang gang
I'm gonna take a guess at how the slicer trickery 1st layer pattern went down. Design into your model a "scribed" pattern, in this case it looks like he sectioned it off in rectangles. Make the scribe just .1mm deep with lets say a .1mm gap. Your slicer will now recognize that there is a layer height difference in the model but your printer's tolerances might not differentiate (use extrusion multiplier to put out a bit more filament if need be). Set your bottom pattern to whatever tickles your fancy (concentric* in this case, as it looks like it produced a diamond shape in each rectangle) Voila!
Yup 😁
@@make.anything you are one creative dude! I don't think I would have thought to do it until I saw your pattern.
Would love to get a new video like this.
i would love to see a video tutorial on how to do that "slicer trickery" in Fusion360
Thank you for this video, I just got inspired... for real... :-)
What is the Tan colour of the spidermaker, just what I'm looking for!
Thanks for sharing👍😀
Try out Owl Filaments. Igot them for 12 bucks and had them lie around for 6 months and they had no difference.
You should start a series about origami 'cause your really creative
I think Amazon basics PLA is not a thing anymore. However, it looks like it might be available as Overture brand filament, but this is unconfirmed.
please post the OP-1 decksaver, I could really use it!
seconding this, need that decksaver
Hey I was wondering if there's any biodegradable plastic filaments being sold. That sounds cool to something out of that type of plastic
All the PLA in this video is biodegradable
Yang for president!! YEAH!!!
yang is so dumb
It will never happen. Sorry no free money stolen from hard working tax payers and given to losers. Sucks ehh?
I'm a simple guy. When I see a follow Yang Ganger I click the thumb up!
how did you do that first layer effect?
Do you roll your label paper over or under?
How do you get consistent results with your Amazon basics filament? I always have to print it super hot
Use a better extruder. I've bought a Bondtech extruder just for that and it easily pushes the filament through.
Amazon Basics quality is all over the place -from someone who was only happy with their product. They had QC issues, or multiple suppliers, or both, your best settings will likely be custom for your roll.
I did have a little issue with some of their red petg, it needed 245°~250°C for the first 100-ish meters of the roll, and the rest was happy at 230°C.
i use Anycubic filament all day!!! TPU 500g 14euros and PLA 1K 18euros on ebay love it!!! =)
i want to make models and replica helmets like ironman one but idk what filament wouldn't become brittle or warp over time
What about the diy filament? do you use it? make a follow up video please.
Fillamentum!
Try out the ESUN grey PLA
could somebody help me out and tell me which filament would be best for the prusa mini? Would it be prusament or what?
Can you reuse filament? or make it with a 3d printer?
Looking for transparent red pla 1.75 any recommendations?
oooo nice video!
I just print with pla which cost $14/KG at regular price. Or ABS when its on sale for $3-10/ KG
Yang gang, ez subscribe right there.
That spidermaker matte looks like it's meant for printing Groot
Have you used INLAND PLA filament
Have you tryed the prusament pla? I have had some minor problems with it and want to know if anyone else have. The problems I have only noticed in my school, where I am one of the students careing for the printers. Our prusa printers are much abused because of all the people handling the printers not knowing what they are doing. But at my boyfriends house he has 2 printers right now also prusa (one is from school but 100%new whit multi material v.2) and on his there is no problem. So I was wondering if the problems are because of the printers even thos I don't se the same problems with other filaments, or the filament.
The problem is that the filament forms a thicker bit when in the extruder and gets stuck so no fillamnet or very litle extrudes.
I whold appreciate outsider teories on why this is.
Thanks
When I've had this problem it meant the PTFE tube feeding the filament isn't pushed all the way flush into the hot end creating that thicker bit at the end. Push the tube in further or replace it
@@make.anything Thanks!! I will try it out and see if it helps :). I didn't expect an answer so this made my day.
Btw what do you think of the prusament with the pricepoint and all?
@@udden0168 You're welcome. I haven't tried prusament yet!
When is the peg board series returning??
How do you first layer effect?
I tried to turn on the alert of new videos. But, TH-cam is not allowing it. What is up with that??
You guys are first but I'm his number 1 fan
My new favorite is $13 1KG ABS. Newbs aren't buying it so it just keeps going down in price. XD
dev deque newbs aren’t buying abs generally speaking
This is good
try weed eater thread and fishing line . i do not have a machine but like you shows
Yang Gang!
When I see the animal 'skull'... Maybe you have too much flow? Do you set it at 90% or do you really print with 100% Flow?
I dropped it a few times, so the blobs are where I repaired it with a 3D pen :P
I don't get the matterhackers stuff. I have never had good luck with them. I have had 3 spools of PLA from them 1 spool of petg and 1 spool of ryno and 2 of the PLA's were bad in that the pigment in the filament was weird. There were some really dark spots in a red I got and it had issues printing and then I got a black that was a dark green (again a pigment issue) then the 3rd one was alright but didn't print super well the ryno was okay but a pain to print with and the petg just has bed adhesion issues while esuns petg sticks fine. I absolutely love matterhackers as a company and their support of the community is amazing but I just haven't liked their filament. On the other hand though fillamentum makes some amazing stuff that always prints well and looks amazing. I also really like inland for cheap PLA but its just esun filament under a different logo but I am going to have to buy some of that spider maker. That looks awesome. On the polyalchemy side I LOVE their colors but it prints weird. It also does this weird swelling thing after it gets extruded but its fine to print with its just expensive and kinda weird but I say its worth the cost.
Hey, wheres the 3devo machine?

So, you're saying the thermal printer is like a laser engraver?
Not quite, a thermal printer needs special paper that is coated with a chemical that turns dark when heated.
@@sjm4306 so it's close, but not the same. I get it now.
Plz make a weaire phelan structure puzzle!!!
link for the printer pliz
Where is 4 :D
yang-gang
hey bud wat name and model label printer is that..
It's linked in the description! ROLLO brand
is there any way you or another 3D wizard would create a prototype for my idea? How can I contact you?
is Devil Design filament any good ?
Use DevilDesign PETG black and translucent, it is ok on stock anycubic kossel. A friend of mine has good experience with PLA, compared to Spectum, which is similar price. Also Gembird is ok. Got 1 review from fb that DD PLA is decent quality, also compared to Spectrum filaments. All these brand are sold on one market, think they all are made in Poland. Spectrum it the worse of them.
In my experience, quality of filament is 1) dimensional accuracy, bubbles of trapped air, moisture, and the way it is wrapped over spool, and 2) actual print results, if all mentioned above is ok. So DD filament do pass on basic quality check, and print comes out ok.
