There’s not that many people who could pull this off. I’m impressed.
I've seen worse benchies on regular 3d printers, it's impressive that it even works at all, for "art" it's a really nice paperweight that can also catch on fire so it's even multifunctional, what else could you want more?
dude, the fact you turned an ender 3 into a "completely functional" mig-3D metal printer is pretty damn impressive. I have a year left on my aerospace engineering degree (after working 5 years as an auto mechanic and doing fab work on a couple race cars) and I would say 80% of the other students wouldn't even know where to start on a project like this.
maybe because he made a boat and not a plane, fool
@@Carpcontrol aren't you clever 🙄
wow that's a complement bro!
i remember when plastic filament printers were just as bad as this, and look at how good they are now. this only takes a little time and effort and you can make it as good and any other printer, it is already closer than any like this I have seen.
This is perfect man! This is a tiny part compared to the nozzle diameter, if you print bigger things, it will appear more precise… 👏🏻
That was quite an insightful thought
The opposite is true too, if you use thinner wire and nozzle you can get better details.
Year, I bet, with gibber things, that´s above 1 million pounds, you begin to not distinguish the single layer-lines... ;-)
Glad to see my boi Ditto around for the start of the vid
Your resident math expert is hilarious, you should keep her around.
Nice work! In that enclosure you've presumably got lots of ozone and UV light rattling around. All the plastic parts, oils etc are going to get chewed up, in particular the belts and bearings, so watch out for that. I was once doing a project with a uv lamp on a motion stage in an enclosure and I kept on having problems like "Why does the oil turn into tar?" and "Why are all the o-rings turning to dust?" before I caught on. If you keep going on this one, you might consider putting an enclosure just around the torch--you'd lose build volume, but then all the delicate bits would be better protected.
Also, the thermocouple was probably either wired backwards or picking up emi from the torch. You were on the right track, but the signal from a thermocouple is only ever a millivolt or so (10-40 microvolts/degree C depending on type) at 10-100 ohms.
Oh... That is something that I wouldn't expect, UV induced fire.
Seconded. The belts should be treated super frequently with 303 aerospace protectant
@@youkofoxy ive been getting into organic chem and i stg uv will fuck up anything it gets its lasty little high energy paws on
That's crazy. Collectively we're still trying to figure out plastic printing, but when that's done the next hurdle will be metal 3d printing; in that regard, the most advanced devices will be inept, bulky, and prone to failure, with a printable area no larger than a shoebox. Then there's your printer, which isn't accurate but works, and works kinda well, and works over a large theoretical print area
As a graduated student in engineering, i am pleased to see some are willing to take on challenges.
THIS IS WHY I SUBSCRIBED WITH NOTIFICATIONS
Wow that is a brilliant V2 I’m seriously impressed you can see it’s a benchy 😀
Most epic Benchy ever!
You not having at least 250,000 subscribers at this point is absolute proof that the TH-cam Algorithm is broken. I enjoy the honesty and you showing the real world failures. When watching your videos, I feel like I’m just hanging out at the shop working on a project with with my buddies.
i like how u show the failures and explain the thought process of the solution.
Whoa i am really impressed.
I always wondered if that principal would work.
Thats really awesome. I wish you were my next door buddy, kinda like Barney Rubble.
I'm sharing your channel with my students for sure. Good design discussions. Love your style. Props to your mathexpert as well.
Wire speed solution, pure genius!
You should check out the tip dressing stations for robot welding. Maybe like a tip dressing thing that flips into the workspace for cleaning, and flips out of the way for printing
Holy shit when you attached a servo to a knob, that's something I've always dreamed of doing, but didn't want to get fired at work. You went full send, and for that, I sub.
you are lazy and genius, and only lazy genius comes up with super easy innovative solution , I subscribed - love your style
The wife listening in whilst I watch: "is he drunk". Excellent effort! Really pushing it to the limits there.
Great you never gave up. finally that stupid boat in proper metal !!
eye decongestant. great job.
I'd love to spend a week with this guy building cool shit.
1. Put your printer i box.
2. Change to 0.6 mm. Wire.
3. fill the box with an argon atmosphere.
(Or CO2 maybe nitrogen. Use nitrogen geneator)
4. Print
5. Option add cooling system
6. You can use a split unit chiller
7. Put the inside unit in a vessel
8. circulate the gas from the printer box through a carbon filter.
9. And through the chiller vessel.
10. And back to the printer box.
You don't want nitrogen in the weld.
Argon for sure. UV would produce nitrogen dioxide and potentially nitric acid if the humidity was high enough. I'm in welding school.
Nitrogen is a shielding gas in many situations.
Some vase mode print would work fine probably
Nice one mate. I am surprised how well that turned out
Your 3dbenchy is gorgeous, I really liked that
Frankly, that looks and worked a crapton better than I thought it would. The baseline work shows some promise. Worth a sub, at least.
Mad props for making that happen!
Art is just a part without the p. Great job
Love the way you are thinking! -- I think your arduino was just getting some voltage/noise from your welder! It doesnt take a lot of noise for it to wipe out a cheap voltage or resistance driven 5v analog sensor like that. Esp with a long lead, running parallel to the welding conductor, Plus you hooked it to the (grounded?) metal sheath of the welder with a conductive metal pipe clamp! In your defense I think the EMF would still give you a problem even without metal-to-metal. I had a problem using RTC temp sensors a length of 20 ft using arduino. I ended up using a digital sensor that just sends communication back (ds18b20. But it is not high temp compatible )
You may want to look into IR sensing! I just watched a video about "DIY IR camera vs Commercial IR camera". You could probably utilize the cheap 8x8 pixel sensors that cost about 100$, since you arent using it for "video" but for temperature monitoring remotely (without contact). Or maybe there is a useful sensor inside one of the IR temp guns? Work to find something that reads the temp accurately, FLIR, IR non-contact thermometer, or otherwise. No matter what it is, an interface circuit to feed the data to your printer control can be built.
I'm subbed now and tuned in closely!! More power to you!
Man, this needs more views! This is awesome
Subbed!
I think I stumbled across a video of yours a year back or so and then lost track of the what and where. But boy do you do entertaining videos with awesome results for what you have to put into it. So much fun. Keed it up m8 👍
Love how you keep going on a project and how it dosent let you down. Man I would have given up I wish I had you persistents.
You sir, are awesome! Thanks for your effort in showing and documenting your work!
If you don't have printer's original heaters on it, it will happily run off 12V. The motors won't quite reach the speed so happily, but the holding torque stays the same.
Marlin codebase is actually a proper pleasure to read through. Last thing I had to change was the interrupt pin initialisation logic because uhhh I was janking some things into my board which don't belong, so I got in deep, don't you worry.
More power to you man! To be honest the real art is in the building not the result.
you're already more than halfway to printing rockets!
I only see a perfect Benchy. This is totally dope!
best benchy EVER ! Surprised the x-axis belt didnt just melt :D
too cool! i appreciate you dedication to entertain us. id be pretty proud of that boat too. what you gonna name her? the printer i mean.
16:19 absolutely amazing , you did too much work and a lot of efforts ..... well done ... perfect
An encoder on the wire feeder, or a stepper motor in it, would give you more control. As this is how the plastic extruder works you can use the existing firmware unchanged (the Ender might not have encoder/servo built in but they certainly exist in the reprap firmware world)
Now you will never need to worry about your parts coming off the bed
Total kudos on that one man !
That is amazing dude! I got so excited as i could see it working in the end. Keep up the great work, i love the videos!
Man, i am realy impressive with what you achieved! After the first video i wouldn’t try again, but you did it! Glad to follow your videos
Cant tell you how many times I’ve actually thought about this. Glad to see you go through with it. Way better then what I could of ever come up with!
Your channel is educational, creative, and very entertaining. Keep it up man.
great build man....keep them coming.. i see you are getting healthier... props to you..
love ur janky contraptions
You are a LEGEND
You better continue tinkering with it
I can't wait to see what else you come up with, I always wanted to try this idea you are playing with...
Hopefully in a couple of years I'll have a place to put a workshop.
That's insanely impressive! Great work!
It may not look pretty, but it's impressive that it works at all. Well done! I'm looking forward to future improvements.
To be honest that’s better than my 3D prints.. you should be proud man. Awesome job… Big like and subscribed.. 👍🏽😉
Awesome, it's the start !
Actually turned out better than expected! Great work!
Pretty cool man, keep crankin it out
Thank you! Makers like you will make this work. Thank you!
That was awesome! Thank you for making me smile so much.
I think you would have better luck with a Tig torch, and the filler off to the side, no splatter. Also I know cooling might be an issue (maybe run water loops on your steppers), but since it's in a cabinet, you can just purge the whole cabinet with Argon (or whatever shielding gas/mix you're using), then you wouldn't need a cup, and could lighten Z axis.
I love your work. Epic.
DUDE! Now them are some "WORKING HANDS" lol
I love what you're doing and I'm hoping you succeed. You've come a long way!
That’s so cool dude! You did such a great job with that thing
7:27 I see a fellow Technic Launcher enjoyer xD
Good God, guy. Ingenuity incarnate, impressive!
Great video... I have some ideas. I watched last night and thought maybe thinner wire would help with heat and puddle control. My second idea is much harder but might be the best solution. Move the motors and submerge the entire setup in liquid similar to underwater welding. You could use different types of liquid to control heat and oxidation. This would be hard but maybe the ultimate solution.
awesome stuff, very cool project
For your content is top quality work, top quality production, and top quality entertainment. The stuff you build is just amazing and unimaginable and so inspiring, Thank you I love your channel
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
holy moly ... you are doing it!
Great vid! You are a madman! I love it, keep up the energy.
Well I was subscribed from part 1, I can just uncheck-recheck the mark and the bell.
That intro made me scream. I want a machine like that. Because just yes.
I just love to watch your videos you're so entertaining !
Congratulations on the 3D Benchy too, not an easy task to teach a printer software to weld !!!
Awesome work, man, love your vids!
Wow, that is impressive, nice work!
Always great to see someone innovate thanks for the interesting content
Pulse welding would be really cool to see on this thing
Wow! Congrats, that is a completely awesome outcome. I'd be damn proud of that Benchie if I was you.
Killer work dawg! I’m curious to cut that in half to see what the layers look like. There is most definitely some practical use ideas. Although, printing metal art parts is also f’n RAD! Big ups!
That is awesome, man!! We’ve been talking about what would happen if you attached a mig to a 3d printer, but you beat us to it! I still want to give it a shot, but I don’t think we will do any better…
I like your style, it's enjoyable and entertaining.
That was awesome. I love your persistence and positive attitude through the entirety of the project! Definitely going to check out your other vids! Subscribed!
love your videos guy, cant wait for the next one.. keep em coming.
This is really epic bro, I love the style of your videos definitely subbing.
Your actually doing great work
Amazing stuff!
Nice layer adhesion.
Love it! Actually came out pretty decent
This is crazy, but also awesome
totally awesome!!!
You are a genius, go on friend we want you to perfect the technique
As a sheet metal fabricator that makes lots of enclosures i was pretty impressed with yours.
I'd love to see you do a general shape, with intent to machine. Then machine it down to an actual spec with basically just one quick CNC operation. Thats how industry 3d printing works most of the time and you could actually make some pretty good parts this way.
Keep up the good work. I love this even though I'll never do this
