The capabilities of 3d printing is endless as this video demonstrates. the ease of using any material to produce any item is just around the corner. With the aid of 3d scanners, any object can be reproduced and modified. This technology is outstanding and limited only by one's imagination and creativity.
Well use a 3d scanner app or something yeah but that's possible if we all bought these big industrial size printers and instead of buying items jut print everything for the house and a car
Reminds me of my senior year in highschool, this was 10 years ago mind you. A company came with a 3d chalk printer for us to use as kind of a showoff/testing type of deal...not too sure on how it all worked out. Straight away I sat down and modeled up some ball bearings and that was it's first print job. It worked fairly well considering it was just chalk-based...I had fully expected it to not be capable of actually moving.
I heard about that! It's pretty amazing someone had the sense to install programs on the software that allows the printer to literally, repair itself. :D
Ryan Bellaver at the moment it is crappy, just as normal printing used to be crappy, but one day it will be as simple as grabbing a cartage and just selecting print .
Goobermascot I have never had a Hp printer in my life coze of that same reason. I had a chance to kill one with a sledge hammer a wile back, but I do not think that counts as using one. lol
RepRap is the first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. It's a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. If you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend... This idea came to light in 2005
Perhaps the "Macro-industrial" age, requiring a long and expensive chain of plants to manufacturer many of the products we use (but not all). Think of it as the new "Micro-industrial" age, where that chain becomes much shorter. This speeds up the evolution of devices while reducing waste and transportation expenses.
ssuuppeerrbbooyy No but the WEB / Internet has taken a HUGE chunk out of the printed newspaper/Magazine business. Ebooks are doing the same to books as the MP3/Flac has done to the CD.
Adam Olympia Thats besides the point, because we are comparing making physical objects at home vs. making them in a manufacturing plant, not how we transfer information.
With a decent CAD suite (Catia, Solidworks, Pro/E) you could do this in probably like 15 minutes at most. it's just one sketch, shaft around an axis, add 4 spheres, and make a circular pattern.
Yes and there is already online platforms to publish your CAD files you created to sell them or share them with other people. You can also create your own shop for toys and things alike if you want to. There are already peoples doing that.
marc Aslam No problem. Each generation of the Reprap is given the name of some evolution/biology scientist. Real life stopped me from following it back when they were working on the "Darwin". They seem to have recently "forked", going down two paths. I admit the Prusa i3 (actually the i3V 10" by Makerfarm) looks awful tempting to try. One goal is to eventually have multiple print heads, being capable of printing the material, removable support material (paste), placing electronic components/imbedded wiring, etc. Still a long way from that lofty goal.
marc Aslam Four years ago my money would have been on the Reprap group being the first to print complete devices. Now with all the other commercial systems hitting the market I am not so sure who will be first. However I have no doubt the commercial systems will require proprietary EVERYTHING. Material cartridges, software, product print files, etc. Reprap is more the Linux of the replication world, a place that is open-source and everyone can play with it.
That's very impressive. I just want to point out a couple things, as most people now write as though they never had an English class. You wrote "Let me know if you can print it out on your 3D Printer?" This is not a question. This is an imperative sentence. It should end with a period. Also, you titled the video "impossible" 3D print. The fact that you did print it means it is possible. Please correct your English mistakes and keep up the good work.
Hestand Gaming Impossible does not mean extremely hard (that why they are different words). I wrote my comments tongue-in-cheek, because I understand the desire for attention that prompts someone to overuse terms such as impossible. That doesn't mean I'm going to ignore it like everyone else does.
It just printed out a ton of ball baring on a $1500 3d printer whats so good about it is that its so precise if any of the balls had been even a little bit off it would not spin but it worked... think about what it could do if it can do that?
Just printed this, can confirm the balls are not attached to anything, except the balls which connect to the axis rods(obviously they are attached to the several axis rods, so they aren't perfectly round.)
Really..? That's the best critique you've decided to go with..? A word "impossible"..??? Well than I think you should've started with all the Basketball commentators saying "That Was An Impossible Frow".. Or every science discovery that changed previous understanding, because to some that was "impossible".. Anyways that's a strange type of critique..
Your a fuckn idiot ." If an action or event is impossible, it cannot happen or be achieved: " I only watched the first 100ms as this video is dumb as fuck.
I bought my 3D Printer last week,just download models from website,use PLA or ABS printing,i think 3D print is pretty cool.maybe print some toys to my niece,she is happy,ask me more and more toys.Anyway ,i do not need to buy from shops.
Actually the 3d modelling can be done in less than an hour. it is just a repeated pattern which makes it really simple. And ceramic might be hard but then again I don't know much about 3d printing
to be completely clear, like glass or a plastic see-through cup, it has to be near-flawless, that's impossible with such a complicated process and shape.
Don't mean to put a negative point on something which has taken a lot of time to design but, surely the point of using the 3D Printer is so that you DON'T take an age to remove 'swarf' once the piece is Produced...
cool video, and I think 3D print has a bright future. However, I have seen an amulet made of jade, created by some chinese monk, which was similar to this. A ring containing a brooch of about 3cm and the brooch was circling around like the rings in this video. Just there was no fixation at all. And again: No machine, all handmade more than 500 years back.
thanks, but to be more specific if i wanted to buy a metal one of these what would i search, i tryed search quadruple bearing in google and it only gave this video as results and skateboard, wheels or acessories.
the filliment alone to cost make it would probably cost more than the item is to buy then theres the issue of it taking a long time then theres the fact theese machines cost alot to begin with so they have a long break even point

I'm mildly impressed, but the only application for this bearing at present time is in a small scale replication of the 'Machine' from the movie 'Contact'... A task that I would be very impressed by.
get a dual extruder cheaper printer and print it with PLA and HIPS for the supports, that way you'll just need to put it in a solvent to remove the supports
how much is an average priced 3d printer.Something that is capable of printing pretty much anythign that comes to mind. I was watching the 3d gun thing of the lower reciever i saw he had 2 machines and 1 of them wasnt capable of doing that,not that i wanna build that but a printer that can handle such tasks and is on the low price scale to average price.thanks
This would've been impossible even a few years ago. Imagine where this technology will take us in the next 10-20 years. Copyrights will die, and that death is looooong overdue. 3D printing will change the world.
The song is some version Pachebel's Canon. Vastly different sounding than most ways I've heard it but it has the same melody and chord progression. I would like to know who made this version of it too.
solidoodle - They probably have the best quality 3D printers for the price. That being said, they're only cheap compared to other 3D printers. They're about 500-800 USD, where as other ones are upwards of thousands.
TheKSProduction Hate Me. How complex do you want to get in the TH-cam comments? Also how many Legos have you printed in various ABS filaments and PLA filaments and tested them against real Legos, in real life? I have, and all things considered there pretty equal if you print them right.
TechSupport100 both can print at the same res, but both have different melting points and PLA is quite a bit more rigid than ABS which is more flexible.
omg! i did the same project as my final for drafting class! only i did it as a modular assembly. how did you calculate the radius for each concentric ring to have each ball flush while maintaining tolerance with out the printer fusing the plastics?
Does anybody know the name of this shape - that is concentric rings that rotate so that the central ring can be oriented in any direction, ignoring the fact that the rings in this particular item are also bearings. I'm interested in just plain rings.
Isn't there a chemical solution to get rid of the suspension material? If so, why did he try to manually pick out the material? It seemed to jam up because of that.
did u only have one song on ur computer or were the rest just not annoying enough to consider adding?
+Chris Tose Precisely what I was thinking...
+Chris Tose completely agree, uploader probably took a break to stab himself

Probably in the future we will see an objet - any object - snap a photo of it with our phone, go to the coffee & print shop and have it replicated.
Well use a 3d scanner app or something yeah but that's possible if we all bought these big industrial size printers and instead of buying items jut print everything for the house and a car
erik schaepers or have the phone print it itself.
TH-cam JUST recommended this to me. Awesome! If anyone sees this, should I print this for my channel?
3D Printing Nerd give it a go.
YES u MUST!
for sure

You're going to slice your hand holding it like that.
I heard about that! It's pretty amazing someone had the sense to install programs on the software that allows the printer to literally, repair itself. :D
one day 3d printing will be that good that there will be no need to do anything other then take the item of the work table.
Ryan Bellaver at the moment it is crappy, just as normal printing used to be crappy, but one day it will be as simple as grabbing a cartage and just selecting print .
Ryan Bellaver ohh and all plug and play,
nsdfnsdf until hp corners the market and cartridges cost a thousand dollars
Goobermascot I have never had a Hp printer in my life coze of that same reason. I had a chance to kill one with a sledge hammer a wile back, but I do not think that counts as using one. lol

This is the beginning of the end of the industrial age.

Bigrignohio OP said 'beginning'
Because inkjet stopped offset print, right?
There are no more newspapers and magazines because people just print that all out at home?
ssuuppeerrbbooyy No but the WEB / Internet has taken a HUGE chunk out of the printed newspaper/Magazine business. Ebooks are doing the same to books as the MP3/Flac has done to the CD.

Seemed pretty possible to me
xtlm r/woosh
I actually know a group of people that built a custom 3d printer that they now use to print 3d printers. Its pretty cool
impressive print to pull off on an extruder. builds like this are usually more in the field of SLA or powder sinter machines
one ball just jumped away, where is your god now? XD
LMAO
The Song just kills everything. So freaking awesome
that is the definite of awesomenes
Whaaaaaa????
mart fart sooooooo "whaaaaaa????" what "as in" what do you mean "nicely" tell me
Ensar Pervetica Haha...I just don't know...was in a funny mood. )))
Ensar Pervetica Ah though you got definite and definition mixed up...
YEAH I'M NOT THAT GOOD ON ENGLISH
someone give this man a medal, for his patience.
i laughed everytime i saw the word "balls"
pfft...balls :D
.......
wait for it.....
.......
BALLS!
Yes and there is already online platforms to publish your CAD files you created to sell them or share them with other people. You can also create your own shop for toys and things alike if you want to. There are already peoples doing that.
crazy idea, but imagine if we could 3d print a 3d printer lol (of course minus all the electronic components)
Look up "Reprap", they have been working on that for a while.
Bigrignohio
thanks!

I love all the 3-d printing out there, thanks
what's so impossible?
That is just too amazing for words. When we have the techonolgy to produce things like this in metal, well ...... there you are.
idk how's that impossible
Yeah!? Sheesh!
It’s extremely difficult
ROFL, those clips on this advanced piece of machinery, I love it!
That's very impressive. I just want to point out a couple things, as most people now write as though they never had an English class.

Impossible also can mean extremely hard as it is commonly used. Many 3d printers cant do that. It also seems impossible.
No one cares about your prescriptavist garbage.
Hoyt Mueller Your sentence is written correctly, well done.
Hestand Gaming Impossible does not mean extremely hard (that why they are different words). I wrote my comments tongue-in-cheek, because I understand the desire for attention that prompts someone to overuse terms such as impossible. That doesn't mean I'm going to ignore it like everyone else does.

Can you print me a 3D printer please?
They already have "do it yourself" kits where you print the frame and then mount the motors/elements/etc. to the 3D printed frame.
Those aren't balls, that print just gives the illusion of balls. The sides of the "balls" are flat and connected to the holder.
Not true at all it acts as a skateboard barring there are small balls in the middle of a track and when pushed they spin allowing them to roll
Just printed this, can confirm the balls are not attached to anything, except the balls which connect to the axis rods(obviously they are attached to the several axis rods, so they aren't perfectly round.)
You should bathe that in acetone vapors, to smooth it out. Beautiful work.
The Impossible 3D print ... if it's impossible why the fuck do you have a video showing how it's done ... ?.?>?>?>?>?>

Take everything 100% literally. Life will be so much fun for you.
Your name say's it all ...
I bought my 3D Printer last week,just download models from website,use PLA or ABS printing,i think 3D print is pretty cool.maybe print some toys to my niece,she is happy,ask me more and more toys.Anyway ,i do not need to buy from shops.
i am gay
A smooth running ball bearing to carry a practical load is still unobtainable with present 3-D printer materials.
i actually enjoyed the music and comparing the thumbnail it was easy to see how this was a small item
I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before we see some truly significant breakthrough because of these printers.
actually they already do. the makerbot is used to make its own parts so that you can make more 3d printers. although it doesn't do it on its own.
Actually the 3d modelling can be done in less than an hour. it is just a repeated pattern which makes it really simple. And ceramic might be hard but then again I don't know much about 3d printing
Curious if you were to put it in a fine sand and actuate it if it would work to sand the parts a bit to smooth the action.
Looks like some of the weird things in some video games. Usually something to do with an ancient advanced civilization and quite often time as well.
With such an intricate "one piece" design there needs to be a breakaway material so all the parts can eventually move freely.
This is amazing, are you able to made a smartphone's gimbal mounting for photosphere?
When you first get a printer it is reccomended to print out all the replacement parts as soon as possible.
3D printing seems to a very good development ifor creative work.
to be completely clear, like glass or a plastic see-through cup, it has to be near-flawless, that's impossible with such a complicated process and shape.
Oh my god amazing idea!! :D No more frustration over not being able to find that particular piece!!
Try buying small balls or 3d print your own, and print out the bottom half of the bearing frame, put them in, and print the other half.
Don't mean to put a negative point on something which has taken a lot of time to design but, surely the point of using the 3D Printer is so that you DON'T take an age to remove 'swarf' once the piece is Produced...

A ring containing a brooch of about 3cm and the brooch was circling around like the rings in this video. Just there was no fixation at all. And again: No machine, all handmade more than 500 years back.
have you tried making those balls a tad bit smaller then decreasing the ring thickness then joining all of those rings together with more balls?
thanks, but to be more specific if i wanted to buy a metal one of these what would i search, i tryed search quadruple bearing in google and it only gave this video as results and skateboard, wheels or acessories.
Not to mention they do make those clips in pretty huge sizes.
how do you keep all the parts from sticking together while its in the printing process?
the filliment alone to cost make it would probably cost more than the item is to buy then theres the issue of it taking a long time then theres the fact theese machines cost alot to begin with so they have a long break even point

did you watch the actual process of making it? or just skip to near the end?
This would've been impossible even a few years ago. Imagine where this technology will take us in the next 10-20 years. Copyrights will die, and that death is looooong overdue. 3D printing will change the world.
How can I make prints that have rotatable joints like this? I tried with something but it just gets stuck.
***** Would i need a cooling fan or something?
Nice video :-) what was your spacing for the ball bearings and the spinning spindle.
Amazing focus on your lawn :D
Of course it is impossible to make this without a printer like this one.
how much is one an where do u get the printer at ? an that quadruple bearing is to cool
That is amazing for a filament printer how did you go releasing all the ball bearings from the raft must of been a nightmare
The song is some version Pachebel's Canon. Vastly different sounding than most ways I've heard it but it has the same melody and chord progression. I would like to know who made this version of it too.
solidoodle - They probably have the best quality 3D printers for the price. That being said, they're only cheap compared to other 3D printers. They're about 500-800 USD, where as other ones are upwards of thousands.
That would make an awesome access-code terminal design.
Heck yeah
Просто демонстрация возможностей или есть какое применение данному изделию?
like the RepRap project aims to do, and at least partially already does?
how thick is the actual stream of liquid being produced? 150 micron as well?
what is the point of making bearings that will not hold any load? I see a lot of people 3D printing them.
How thick are the connections between the moving parts?
That would make it a self replicating entity, in some definitions meaning it is alive. So I hope yes.
This is an incredible print. Video was a bit awkward (sound drops out halfway through, and talking would have been nice), but the outcome was crazy.
how strong is that material?
think Lego strong(ABS)
Matt Michael
Youre wrong...
TheKSProduction Hate Me.
How complex do you want to get in the TH-cam comments? Also how many Legos have you printed in various ABS filaments and PLA filaments and tested them against real Legos, in real life? I have, and all things considered there pretty equal if you print them right.
Matt Michael In terms of fine detail, which do you think is better - ABS or PLA?
TechSupport100 both can print at the same res, but both have different melting points and PLA is quite a bit more rigid than ABS which is more flexible.
omg! i did the same project as my final for drafting class! only i did it as a modular assembly. how did you calculate the radius for each concentric ring to have each ball flush while maintaining tolerance with out the printer fusing the plastics?
Everything but the motors can be built on various 3D printers, yes.
removing the support material. the bearings are printed with support material around them. Must be removed if you want the parts to move.
Does anybody know the name of this shape - that is concentric rings that rotate so that the central ring can be oriented in any direction, ignoring the fact that the rings in this particular item are also bearings. I'm interested in just plain rings.
Maybe so, but you could still make lego compatible things like rock formations, castle towers and walls, etc.
How did you laid or set the first layer without glued or melt the part?
awesome! do you sell those things?
Awesome wish I had a 3d printer and wats the best 3d printer that's cheap
...for now.
The will only become cheaper with time and I for one don't think the production times are too bad.
Isn't there a chemical solution to get rid of the suspension material? If so, why did he try to manually pick out the material? It seemed to jam up because of that.
He didn't use suspension material.
Excuse me but does those rafts help in the place of a heated bed ?
what and how are you inserting the material in the printer?
Printing was 3.5 hours, but how long did it take to finish and getting it moving?
but can it tell TIME??
REALLY..
Add this as a feature..great sun dial, or moon phase, and other things to it...and you have a great product.
how long till one of these is made that's big enough to print an entire house?
Does this have a use or was it just for fun?
That is so cool! What printer model did you use?
What's the name of the song in the second half?
I need to teach people that one.
I've used the same model as that printer, they're pretty cool and easily portable XD
And, there you have it. The impossible made possible.
It would be cool if you could print more 3d printers with it.
