Dude you are THE ONLY 3d printing channel that really does unique things and is willing to teach and share things without wanting to make a profit. You are the best, man! Thanks a lot for your videos, I really enjoy them!
I can confirm this as a fact. 🙄
I but but there is one more guy( my inspiration ), RCLifeOn
Ya him and RClifeon are some very generous guys with there time and idea unlike some of the others
@@krackpack1 There's also Angus from Maker's Muse. He's got some interesting projects like the-----------

He seems like a good person. I couldn’t imagine myself ever being as dedicated to something without making a heft profit. Very genuinely passionate with his work too 👌🏼
If you hit the epoxy with a heat gun, it'll pop any bubbles and thin it out so it flows better and lays flatter.
Thanks good advice. This stuff was also 3 years old so I wonder if that made it less viscous
@EdwinPlayzYT A vacuum chamber will cause the epoxy to flow into the PLA, there's probably going to be some incompatibilities. But might be worth a try, alsom, pressure chambers work better at getting rid of bubbles for epoxy
EdwinPlayzYT Peter brown just did a pretty cool comparison on a vacuum vs pressure chamber
Make Anything also blow torch
EdwinPlayzYT some people don’t have enough money for it
Love the Starry Night case!
Why this channel doesn't have over 1 million subs, is just baffling. One of my favourite channels ever. and i don't even 3D print.
Same xD
probably should.
You definitely have amazing ideas. But on top of that you always manage to achieve it in a very rigorous way. Love what you're doing, a true source of inspiration and motivation
There's no way he thought of this on his own was obviously added imput from other 3D printing maker
This is such a cool way to print multicolored parts!
did some street art with Keith Haring back in the early 80's love seeing him get some mention his art and the way he did it was simply sick..
I love how you represent 3d printing as an art medium, instead of a cheap excuse to sell stuff
Because it isn't a cheap excuse to sell stuff.

Weird flex but ok
@David I think/hope this was sarcasm
@David Oh I've been there extensively, I'm just wondering why this has so many upvotes if it isn't sarcasm
Woosh streaks
These are really great cases! If you apply multiple thinner coats of the XTC-3D, you will get a smoother surface.
Great content on your channel!
When reading the comment I noticed the product you mentioned sounds like drugs in 3D when read aloud lmao
Hey Devin, I'm getting my first 3D printer this year, andI wanted to thank you, you were the one who started my interest in 3D printing for Art and Design, and now I'll be using it for University work. Cheers, loved the video.
FINALLY someone made a case for the OP6, I'm trying for one month to create a case for this phone because there is not a single one online AND THEN this Legend comes around
Congrats, you are the first one, thank you
You could integrate glow in the dark filament to make the starry night or similar designs even more unique!
WOW Devin, you've really outdone yourself, as usual, with this unique, interesting, and dare I say...oh yes, I dare...fascinating way of utilizing 3D printing. Thanks for sharing and may you and yours have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
That glossy finish was oddly satisfying. Lol that would be awesome with a “cobalt blue China” pattern so it looks like you have a ceramic phone case.
Edit: or a chintz tile pattern
Okay, that is super cool, hands down one of the most creative 3D printing techniques I've ever seen. And the results are absolutely amazing!
Normally I watch 10 videos of a TH-cam before I decide to sub, but after 3 I definitely knew I wanted to!
Keep doing you, dude 😊
This is what i've had in thoughts. I knew that there's a solution on how to print different colors on single extrusion printers, but didn't think of how to do that. Now i see how that i spossible! This is Awesome!! Thanks man for your tutorial!
I’ve been 3D printing since 2006 and never once have I see this technique or even thought of something similar. You never cease to amaze me Devin!
Once again you blew my mind! I was totally expecting for this to be some new palette like hardware and it is just an amazing “hack”. Thanks for the inspiration! I am going to try this on a pop socket that I previously used the pause on layer method. This will keep the layer flat and make the pop socket last longer.
A couple things, you need to be sure your bed is super level for this. Also, in simplify3d you can choose to "start printing at height" under advanced options. I do this rather than an m600 command to swap colors at a different height. Also, for better export from illustrator, use the pathfinder tool and either merge, or combine, then flatten image before export. I learned the hard way just like you showed with the duplicate lines lol.
TheMidnightSmith I liked because no else did lmao
Great and innovative video. Very unique and instructive. Even though my Palette2pro should arrive in about a week, I found this video very instructive on design approaches and that knowledge will be a great benefit. Thanks for continually pushing the limits and explaining it clearly.
I can’t believe I’ve been here since your first video! You’ve grown so much and wow your content just keeps getting better! Love you channel from the beginning keep it up👏🌟
Amazing!
Just after you flipped over the first one I actually said wow out loud.
Very well done mate. Great print.
I have been recently binge watching your channel and i love it! Keep up the amazing work! Happy Thanksgiving!😄❤
Thanks :)
thanks for teaching pepole 3d printing by the way i love the eyes on the extruder and maybe try a moral
amazing! I can even speed up the process with dual extruders. I had an idea like this for a while but I never thought it would work this perfectly. Thank you
Dude! This is absolutely amazing. You're always taking ome step further than everyone else, and this in my opinion is the best one!
In illustrator - use the Image Trace tool to get your vectors. In the Trace window you could set the number of colors to match how many different filaments you have. You can use the Make Shape tool to be sure your vectors are closed. An easier way may be do the Outlines option of Pathfinder (you'll have to reapply the stroke to the path afterwards), but that may still need some tweaking.
Wow, I have watched many 3d printing channels in the past week (cause that's when I got my printer) but this is the first one I have commented on, well done dude, really clever
I'm also new, and this channel is probably my favorite, since I have already watched other channels for fixing the printer
this is the single most magnificent thing i have seen today. bravo!!
Hey that's actually excellent way to have some text on top of my electronics project cases without making it weak or loosing flat surface!
great concept!
I love those "swoosh bodys" xD
This is great. Such a lot of work and stunning results. Love it!
Wow just wow... One of Best 3d chanel, unique technics and still something new. Big thumbs up Devin
The stary night case must have been a nightmare to do.
Yes... Yes it was
@@make.anything Yeah, I can imagine... :/
I still wanna attempt that, though; I think it would be an awesome gift for my mom. Sadly, it's a bit too late to do it for a christmas present, but maybe I could do it in time for her birthday next year 🙂
Make Anything can you give the DXF file ?
Stary nightmare
Instead of tracing everything manually, you could simply use Inkscape and do Path -> Trace Bitmap, ideally with Multiple scana -> colours option, set number of colours, disable stack scans and hit Ok. Then just ungroup the different colour traces and you're good to go!
Great idea with preprinting the first layer, will need to try that ;)
YOUR PHONE CASES ARE AMAZINGGG AND THANKS FOR THE AMAZING STEP BY STEPS VIDEOSSSS
Wow. I was wondering how you did it. I thought you printed out each bit one at a time and then glued them on later. But your way is insane. I love it. I always look forward to your videos.
This reminds me of pancake art 😊
Same energy, really.
Exactly!
yes
Not to take anything from the awesomeness of the technique, but if you're going to slather it in epoxy you might as well just print an insert on paper and stick it on the back? Fantastic work, as always, love ya!
That's such a cool technique! I love the Van Gogh case!
"You can always get crazy with it". Love the tutorial!
Dude that is so clever! =D
Every day you make a video I've an art attack, I guess thats keeping inspired. By the way dev you don't have to sacrifice brushes, use thinner, acetone, or alcohol before it cures.
Well, they turned out amazingly well. What an inspiration. Many thanks.
Thanks for the details, this is a really interesting technique! I've been swapping filament for raised text, but switching mid-layer makes so much sense. Tempted by the Prusa MMU now. Love the channel, thanks for sharing.
I'd recommend Affinity Designer on a budget. It's only $50 (and I think it's on sale, so even cheaper) and it's as powerful as Illustrator. It's no subscription so it ends up being so much cheaper
Amazing video. You should try printing some PCBs with conductive filament.
Conducitve filament isn't really a good conductor compared to copper.
@@Argosh That doesn't necessarily matter, depending on what you do.
Cant solder on it. So contacting is a pain. And you cant galvanise it with copper either (because of poor conductance).
So not viable.
Really cool! I've always been doing 1 color per layer but will try this now. thanks
Yes! I second that: Ode to the Make Anything and RCLifeOn channels for their original and generous content!!! Thank you both very much for your effort, time and creativity!!
I would pay so much money for a starry night phonecase like that one
Its soo cool, i would buy it too!
CrazyPanda! They're available and very cheap on ebay... Not a 3D printed one but a starry night phone case nonetheless.
actually it occurs to me you could do this with any flat layer. so for instance you could print a couple clear layers followed by graphics so that it's behind a translucent barrier ect. but you would have to make a solid layer or two before you printed the artwork. however that does mean you could color print two flat sides of an object so long as they were perfectly level. but it's a lot more work in the slicer software making that work i'm sure.
oh another thing if you want more then 2 layers you can do that too. just move the model off the bed by .2 after completing all of the models for the first two layers. then do it again. this will help with glow in the dark things I would think.
or another thought make it as thick as you want then just print .2 mm of the layers at a time...full color lithographs anyone?
oh I guess I should point out for anyone wondering you can use the advanced tab start and stop print features to accomplish this.
Wow! That's super awesome technic, thanks for sharing, Devin! I will definitely try it!
This technique is very cool. Definitly going to give it a try. Seems like a good way to transition from my current machine to a multi filament machine like the new M3D quad
hey! the favorites link seems to be broken
Is there any way to align the origins of parts in Cura like you have in Simplify3D?
Yeah just load all of the models into Cura then right click on one of them and you'll see the options you need
Did you figure it out ?
I am thankful for the existence of this channel
"You can *always* get crazy with it." love it man!!
NOICE! ok....that's old I know....
Boneappletea
what if you this process every second layer pair?
Sure it would slow the print way down but you'd get full color
i mean in theory you just need to copy every second layer pair of the gcode into its own .gcode file
When he said that the colorful back is a thin inlay I thought that he made a white flat layer, ran this through an ink jet printer with CD printing slide and then glued the printed inlay into place.
This is awesome, i am printing it right now. Thank you so much for this cool disign
Thanks for another fantastic and inspiring video. And I loved Your choice of artists and "motifs" 😁

I am a big fan of yours. Your 3D printing techniques are so new and exciting.
Best 3D-Printing video i have seen in a wile. Keep up your great work :)
How do you do this in cura
you can use option called merge models, it will make the models centered at their origin point and make them behave like one, you can find more info on ultimaker sites, just type cura merge models to google and you will fing satisfying info on it
@@jirkasmejkal1698 I see how to merge models, but i don't see how to save each one once it is positioned correctly
@@fusionvibe It was a trial and error for me but after merging I wrote down the positions of all models than unmerged it, deleted all except one and then sliced one after the other at their positions that I wrote down, there may be some more simple solution but this was the only one I could think of, hope that it helps
Merging models is one thing. But how do you make the last part printing above the bed?
@@jangkodera6150 this is the real question, how to print above the bed ?
Video starts at 4:01
But the real information starts from 10:45
aaarghh k
We need more of this!
I would have never have thought of this awesome concept
im a simple gay, i see keith haring, i click
"gay"
15:48 i am literally unsubscribing because of that pronunciation...
jk
I'm not Dutch, but I believe that's close to how it should be pronounced.
@@makeitdowntoearth4 I'm Dutch, and it isn't pronounced that way. But I think the harsh G is very hard to pronounce for people who speak English
Excellent work Devin!
This is a really cool Christmas gift idea. Thanks!
Am I the only one that noticed that favourite was spelt wrong in the website at the start of the vid? Or is that an American thing like them spelling colour wrong too? 😂
It's an American thing and it's technically not spelled wrong.
09 bp 08 america is right, its not fav-Our-it its fav-Or-ite
And its not col-Our its col-Or. britian thinks theyre special but theyre just extra
Why is everyone is so quick to hate each other on the internet nowadays?
@@siqxyre8473 nah my dude, we're the special ones, we the the ones that changed things
@@lchi1234 don't worry! I wasn't hating was just curious wether that's how they spell it in America like they do with other words
I don’t understand how you’ve only got 350k subscribers, this is one of the best channels I’ve ever seen and you seem like such a down to earth person
I'm blown away :O love the experimentation happening here
Awesome technique! Your prints look great. I also like the painters you have chosen very much.
This one video here is like the keys to the kingdom. Thank you so much!
This is really cool! I'd have never thought about this as a thing you could do
Man, you're a genius. Loved the technique!
This is awesome! They came out much better than I would ever have guessed
Good grief, your pool of talent is endless. Good going!
Always pleased to watch your videos. Thx
This technique is amazing! I would love to see what you come up with for other uses other than phone cases
fantastic. thanks for sharing the technique!
starting working on one for me before the video even finished playing. great idea and great project for the holiday weekends!
This is such an amazing idea. I never thought about doing something like this! I’ll have to give this a try on my Maker Ultimate.
Impressive.... Most impressive! This is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
wow THANK YOU. You have just managed to make my wife intreasted in having a go at 3d Printing somthing!
Great idea and technique! Thanks for sharing.
Wow man... that just opened up a whole new world. Keep up the awesome work. 👍👍
Thank you Devin, very cool.
I think if you heat up the epoxy, it flows better and creates a smoother surface!
I've been using a similar method for some time now, and have some input that might make it a little easier to pull off.
For the different colored sections, I made custom ending gcode for my i3 mega in S3D that moved the printhead out of the way, but didn't turn off the motors or heatbed, and custom starting code that didn't calibrate each time. This way I didn't have to be babysitting the printer for each color switch. Since the motors don't turn off there's no issue of things getting misaligned and since the bed stays on there's no issue of the print separating from the bed. For printers compatible with the M600 command, I just use multiple processes and manually input the M600 command in the gcode in the correct spots.
Thank you for showing how to hide models in F360 and align to origin in S3D. This will make my workflow so much easier. I've been turning off automatic bed placement and importing every detail as a separate model. That gets a little hard to manage when you are printing 8 of the same part that each have 50+ STL files...
Starry Night is my *FAVOURITE* painting! Thanks for showcasing this technique with it. ♡
Edit: the sky is the limit with this technique! You could make all kinds of art pieces like this! That's SO AWESOME!!!
This makes me interest to get a 3d printer. The skill looks so creative!! Thank you for your tutorial!! 👍👍👍
I just realized that your 3D printer has googly eye
It looks super cute I LOVE IT!!!!
Wow. Congratulations on creating such an interesting effect. Very cool. Your talent abounds. It is so fun watching your videos.
