Can A Plastic Blade Cut Wood?

- Which blade style do you think will perform best? I certainly was wrong...
Hope you enjoyed me testing these 3D printed blades against various materials. I was actually impressed with how well some of them cut other plastics. Pretty neat. Thanks for watching!

Yes, it does spin at more than 11 rpm
Some would say more than 12, even
@@currentconcept I'm calling BS. Everyone knows that isn't possible.
@@deucedeuce1572yes
It never ceases to amaze me all the attachments humans decide to put on the most dangerous tool in the shed
i was here when this guy only had 171 subscribers
Having composite filament might make a huge difference. Having solids to not only cut through the objects could help a lot, but also, those solids can significantly reduce friction and also may stop the blade from wearing down.
Thats a great idea. What kind of filament would be a good composite one ya think?
@@currentconcept I'm not really sure. There are many, but I thought about it (when I first commented)... but I didn't really come up with any that I thought would be best. They're not designed to be cutting things, so the particles are probably much finer than would be good for cutting. Some of them have metal particles like copper, steel and tungsten and some have fibers like Fiberglass and Carbon Fiber. Polycarbonate and Nylon are really strong filaments and both come with Carbon Fiber. I'm not sure which would be better though and you need to be able to print at higher temperatures for Nylon (not sure about Polycarbonate) and also need hardened steel nozzles for any Carbon Fiber printing.
I think if you want something really good, you would have to make your own. There would definitely be some challenges, but I think it would be possibly with the right materials. As long as the plastic/polymer fuses to the medium good I think almost anything hard and sharp would work (Like steel, aluminum oxide, tungsten, ceramic and countless other things). Hope you forgive the rant. Is a lot more complicated than just simply... "Having composite filament might make a huge difference.". lol.
@@deucedeuce1572 sweet thanks for the info. Yeah from what it sounds like my current printing setup wouldn't be able to handle some of those materials, I think my hot end is max 260 C. It's just the stock CR-10S print head.
Thats an interesting idea though. I'll look into it and maybe make a vid on it in the future. Thanks
@@currentconcept Yeah, I have the same problem. Is easy to upgrade (and cheap) for some people... but if you don't know what you're doing it can be very difficult. An all metal hot end is all that's needed if your printer will allow you to set the max temperature... but if you have an Ender 3 (for example) you have to manually upgrade/modify the firmware. (...and the nozzles are just as simple as buying them for a couple bucks and switching them out). I really hope to upgrade mine soon to 300C for nylon. Some of the cheap all metal hot ends will work perfectly fine and they're only a couple bucks too. I hope to get the Creality Spider hot end (up to over 450C printing, but heat creep on long, high quality prints)... or the Creality Sprite direct extrude hot ends (only 300C, but hot enough for most filaments including nylon and won't have heat creep problems). Having a hard time deciding. I think the Sprite can just be thrown on with the firmware mod, but the Spider needs a new thermistor and for higher speed it needs a more powerful heater.
It's insane how many options there are though and all the pros and cons that come with them all. Nothing is ever simple with 3d printing it seems.
Very interesting. Great info. Yeah the more I think I understand about 3D printing, the more I realize I know nothing hahaha. I really do want to print with Nylon at some point. Seems like a great material to work with.
"these might explode" *doesn't wear gloves*
Hehe
gloves and rotating equipment don't usually go together, because they usually come together if you catch my drift
Glad those disks didn't explode.
me too!
Fun fact: I have a scar on my left arm from cutting a piece of plastic with an angle grinder. Molten plastic tends to be quite hot... from that point on I'd always use a sawsall
Good advice
What a god awful idea. Professionally made and balanced wheels still explode, and yet here we are printing shrapnel xD
lol this channel is going to be big! Love the videos!
Ayy thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words!! Happy to hear you're enjoying!
I’m proud to be here at sub 1000 subs, bro I thought you a much bigger channel and was shocked to see your number of Subs. You are a natural and have great quality content
Man reading this making me tingly inside. Thank you so much lol. I really appreciate you watching and the kind comment
if that disk breaks in some unfortunate manner you might be scarred for life or dead...
Don´t play with anglegrinders guys... those rpm harbour some serious danger...
"Occupational Safety and Hazards Administration (OSHA) statistics show a 20% fatality rate for injuries resulting from grinder or saw kickbacks. The other 80% of injuries were serious enough to require hospitalization."
Those experiments arent woth a missing nose or shredded hands
If it explodes and a piece of plastic is lodged between your ribs post us an x-ray tho, call it morbid curiosity :D
I (mostly) had them at a safe angle so if the discs did break they'd most likely fly by me. Plus it's a light weight plastic, it isn't a lot of mass.
I agree though dont mess with these things they will destroy you if you don't respect them.
@@currentconcept
true
But that also applies to a 22cal which has 1-2g of mass but travels at about double speed. given the splinters are probably heavier than 1-2g and traveling @ about 80m/s you still have some serious damage potential.
I work as a furniture woodworker and am not always up to scrutiny regarding workplace safety but those modified anglegrinders give me the goosebumps.
@@currentconcept people have died just from a CD attached to it. Just not worth experimenting with.
If plastic can cut plastic, can wood cut wood ? 🤔
Hmmm thats a great question
Very interesting!
You could probably make it cut better if you print it in a pla that has something abrasive in it like metall fill or even glow in the dark
Thats a good idea. Plus I could put like carbide tips in the cutting edges and it'd still technically be a "plastic" blade...
its closer to 12rpm actually, I used a thing to test it out, its over 12rpm. so I mean I guess its over 11rpm too, but like I said, I tested it.
You're right, I said 11 RPM because I didn't think anyone would believe 12. Thanks for testing that out
@@currentconcept I'm glad this sort of collaboration is possible in this day and age...
I'm no time expert, outside of things that are roughly angle grinder sized and happen multiple times a minute, via rotation... so I wont even guess at what the exact day or age is.
Someone with more patience than me will have to chime in on that. Science.
I'm thinking a simple solution to making it work might be to get some coarse sand and melting it into the 3D print with a heat gun.
Hmm thats interesting. Just melt the sand into the edge of the blade?
@@currentconcept I think you could try melting it into the blade, or you could heat up the edge of the blade and roll it in the sand.
Some people seems to have a desperate death wish.
how about a billion teeth
Thats a good point, I didn't think about that
What printer do you use
Creality cr10s
@@currentconcept same!
When did you buy it?
@@FamTech. long time ago I got it as a Christmas present. I believe Christmas 2017? Could be off by a year in either direction. It has been flawless, except a slightly warped bed in the center - but I sanded a piece of wood to shove underneath the bed to perfectly even it out lol.

This is beyond dangerous!
great video! also, you might have cancer now!
thanks! I very well might!
You know what is infill in 3dprinting right?
Yup! Not sure it would've helped too much - maybe on the other plastic parts, but the heat is what killed it the most. 100% infill still would've been melted quickly
@@currentconcept 100% infil maybe, but i guess around 50% should be just perfect
That's definitely only 10 RPM, you liar
I'm sorry I thought no one would notice 😭
