THANK YOU for this. Will pin.
what I like is that you don't ask for likes and provide useful information.

Not Every hero use's cape.
Thank you my friend.
8:27 Destruction XD
"Maybe we should revisit this in a year or two"
Well well well, here we are two years later and I'm just getting into the hobby! I'd love to see an up-to-date revision, this was very informative.
ditto
Planning the trip right now in fact!
Check Zack Freedman YT, he did an excellent recap lately !
@@3DPrintingNerd can't find the updated video, or hasn't it been produced yet?.
Not yet. Haven’t been able to get back out to Printed Solid
Now that's a guy who know what he's talking about. Thanks for the comprehensive list!
!
Best part of the video - "You cannot bend him at all, 'crack' "😂
So I was scrolling and I saw this comment and just as I read it , it happened
EDIT: OMG thx
Exactly, it’s brittle. It doesn’t bend, it breaks.
@@nikozg2091 same
@@LD-pt5ur lol
He was correct
8:26 - "This is also a TPU but you cannot flex him at all"
> Nerd flexes it
> Breaks it instantly
This is why can't have nice things!
HAHAHAHA...Was just gonna comment. Why I don't hand most my 3D prints to friends. "Wow this took 60 hours to print, what happens if I apply pressure.....?"
"Oh"
If someone ever does this, the correct response is: Weird flex, but ok. :-)
It was an innocent mistake. No foul.
13:45 The "OH" in BVOH comes from the fact that in chemistry alcohols have a hydroxyl (-OH) part in the molecule.
This is the best and most informative video I've watched regarding materials for 3D printing. The video was straight forward and easy to understand even for beginners and dummy like myself. Excellent video and thank you.
Thank YOU
@@3DPrintingNerd If I now only knew which printer to get. I’m pretty sure I want to be able to print with Nylon and maybe PC besides PLA.
I can’t find any video reviewing printers with those requirements :/.
Good information in this video keep it up.
@Kenny Eaton Thank you for the info!! 3 months later. I just bought a printer a couple of days ago and just soaking up all the info..
@@scatwater my suggestion, don't try to rush to the high temp materials. Just take it slow and make sure you got a chunk of experience with PLA. After that you will find it easy to test out with PETG too to get a variation. If you have a good direct drive printer you could even step up towards TPU/TPE if you like. But already become aware that this will be a big step up in experience and information needed to get to work. But as said before, enclosure is needed for PC/ ABS and you need something to keep moisture out of the filament if you want to print nylon. So as I said, take it easy. Will be a long, but enjoyable, road ;)
@@dennisk147 TY I am looking forward to this.. Currently watching my 3rd print. lol The ideas and possiablies seem endless. I bought printer to get to see if I could make parts for a organ we got for my wife for free. Its just a little square piece with tabs. Looks pretty simple. Currently just learning about materials and the basics. Im not in a hurry. :)
Just came here to mention that Matt was so dang informative that I ended up looking up his company that he works for out of curiousity, and ended up grabbing their filament vacuum set, just to support this dudes paycheck cause he f@$#ing deserves it, big ups.
That was ... just awesome. Great summary, great pace, tons of knowledge and experience. I’ll be referring a lot of people to this video.
Love your channel man
This was amazing 😉. Thank you !! Matt knows his stuff..... these videos help our community so much.....
8:27 in the store touchin everything and u break something and act like nothing happened lol
I'm like a bull in a china shop!
What a great video. I've always been overwhelmed with all of the material choices. That helped a lot.
Great starter guide for all the people who got printers for the holidays! PLA all the way as your primer into the world of 3d printing, so easy and forgiving. I got pushed into the deep end learning with ABS (wish I knew about this channel back then). Spent more time tuning the printer and being disappointed with failed prints vs getting that initial encouragement of success. Granted I learned a lot of lessons but not everyone is persistent or stubborn as I am.
Excellent video Joel, probably one of the most useful and informative 3D printing videos I've ever seen anywhere even with it being a "high level" look at materials. 10/10👍
For someone researching what filament to buy, this is an invaluable video.
The best parts are the comparisons between each back and forth, plus small notes about it being a faff to print with..
So much experience here.. invaluable. Thank you
Great video! Thank you. I just got into printing and no idea there were so many filament options.👍
Great run down guys. Thanks to Matt for sharing his views and advice.
"Maybe we should review this video in a year or two" I am reminding you for it, would love to see it ;)
I am a new subscriber and a new 3D printer I picked up an old broken bfb 3000 and I was able to fix it up thanks to you. You my friend have taught me more that I would have ever thought you know. Thanks you and keep up the great videos. 👍🏼
Very informative video....Keep up the great work Matt...I love my Maker Box each month!
Watching someone that really knows their stuff is a pleasure. Thanks!
Awesome episode, I'm a rookie to 3D printing and this helped me alot!
One of the best videos I've seen from this channel. Loved the knowledge found herein! Thanks!
Awesome video Joel. Really glad you're able to reach out to Printed Solid and get to pick their brain about the things they know so much about. And it's pretty awesome to see that you're still learning too, despite the fact that you've been doing this for the last 3+ years basically.
Awesome info, excited to try some new materials this year. Thanks for the vid, Joel!
Great video, very informative. Thank you to you both.
One of the better videos, not that the others aren't good. It was a nice consise presentation on a complex subject and leaves room for further research. Thanks Joel!
Great video guys! This really makes it nice and clear about what filaments are good at what.
Great to hear about all the 3d printable plastic types and the pros and cons - thanks Nerds!
Exactly what I needed.
As a PETG user, can verify even when you get the stringing under control there are plastic boogers everywhere, but clear PETG looks darn pretty and is wonderfully strong, it's also fun to be able to tell people that I'm printing from nearly the same plastic as your everyday water bottle.
Also bought a roll of ABS when I got my printer (Anet A8) but even a couple years on I don't really even want to try printing it when PETG offers similar or better preformance in many aspects.
And yes, PLA is probably here to stay, forever, I don't think anyone will be finding a viable or equally versitile replacement for it anytime soon.
This chap is simply brilliant, huge knowledge, charming as all hell and a master with metaphors "can't push a rope"
Most helpful video I've found on the subject so far. thanks guys this was great.
Just wanted to add my thanks for this one, well done guys! :)
Great video, very informative. I haven't rendered in years, looking to brush up on this and this helped a lot. I also am in the PNW!
Great Video Joel and Super Information Thank you Joel and Matt
Very informative. Thanks for the video. Matt is great!
Yay! Happy this is out now! I've always wondered about materials!
Ive actually dealt with Matt about a year or so ago having him print a large model. Matt was great to communicate back and forth with via email and delivered the part in a timely fashion.
Doing my homework on buying and using my first 3D Printer, you Matt have just explained in simple terms the materials used, you were clear and informative to a tee, well done sir, I'm a lot lot clearer on the material now. Thumbs Up Subbed & happy 👍🏻😊🇬🇧🇺🇸
What printer you have now
Matt's knowledge on this topic is crazy. He understands a lot of materials engineering terms well.
Best video and most informative video for a long time! Keep on the good work :)
Very informative very heard of some of these materials thank for the exposure and I've always said I've never Met a Matt I didn't like :) Can't wait to see you in March!!
Great video! I know it is an old video now but I recently bought an entry level 3d printer. Thanks for the info on the different materials out there.
... danke für dieses Video. Nach meiner Meinung eines der Besten, die auf Deinem Kanal produziert wurden. Ich wünsche Dir ein erfolgreiches jahr 2019
...thanks for this video. In my opinion one of the best produced on your channel. I wish you a successful year 2019.
GREAT VIDEO, very informative. Thank you.
I know this is kind of an old video, but i would like to express my gratitude. All this knowledge condensed would have taken a lot of time out of my day just to be aware of all the listed filaments. Thank you gentlemen for your great explainations and exposition!
Aww thank you for the kind words!
Oh yeah, I remember the PETG boogers fondly. Couldn't figure it out for weeks (was new to printing at the time), but I kept having parts print fine until the infill really started, and then some blackened mess would fall off the block and find its way into the infill, too carbonized to really melt again easily, cause a layer shift when the nozzle knocked it the next time around, and basically confuse and scare me like a caveman seeing fire for the first time.
The consistent part there was that I was either printing PETG, or had switched to another material after PETG. Nowadays, my pre-flight check involves heating and taking a brass brush to the block and nozzle.
Matt's the man! Very informative!
Thanks for the helpful tips
I just got a new printer for Christmas and this perfect video came out just in time :D
This is MUCH better than watching a movie at the Crest Theatre! (quite near my old stomping grounds) Subscribed.
Nicely done gentleman, and thank you!
Thanx for such a detailed video about the filaments.
Great overview! Awesome, learned a lot about the filaments.
Extremely useful knowledge. Nylon sounds very worthy.
I am going to find a way using an IV drip to recycle my winter runny nose talent, to create a removable support material.
Happy year that is new!
Great information. Thanks! No idea so many plastics were printable.
Great video!
I didn't realize there were so many types of filament.
Excellent summary. I print PETG almost exclusively. Never had problems as mentioned but I use silicon boots.
Great video! Finally something with clear pros and cons on each. I'm just getting into 3D printing.
Glad you liked the video! One day I'll return and do a follow up!
Thanks for the refesher on what's out there and why I would like to use it.
Matt, a treat guest. Thanx Matt!
super vid ,. thanks for the great info!
Great and informative video thanks!
Please make a video on the Klipper Firmware! pretty much no reputable youtubers have really made a video discussing the pros & cons. I'm about to receive my V6 & BMG & plan on setting up Direct Drive on my CR-10S. I was looking into Marlin features like Linear Advance, S Curve Acceleration, & Junction Deviation But I've just come across the Klipper Firmware & discovered that the small detailed movements that i see the printer kind of pause on could be resolved by using Klipper... but does Klipper have any similar features to the ones I was looking at in Marlin?!
I love this video. I remember watching it when it came out. I think it would be interesting to do a follow up video of where filament is now.
Thanks for the quick intro! I wished you touched also on the aspect of biodegradability and filaments with wood, industrial hemp and other fibers and also recycled materials...next vid? Keep the great work! Thanks
PETG is my go to material these days. Cheap, durable, food safe, many colors. My latest favourite color now is "clear", looks really good in PETG!
Yes thank you a lot of good information especially trying to get petg & pccf to work my way too pekk
The best 19 minutes spent learning about the variety of filament available the their pros and cons. I thank you for this informative video and hope to see a remake of it covering newer filaments. Is there a filament compartibilty matrix that details hotend types and nozzles that can be used? open question to all and thanks in advance.
Did 3DPN just break that guy's print? lol 8:39
8:29 Time for some CA.
This was a really good Podcast format, I'd really like to hear Matt talk more about his perspective on the supplier side, like how at the end the questions became more open ended.
3 years after, this video is still perfectly right! I mainly use PLA, PLA+ (pro), PETG and TPU.
amazing video, it would be nice to make a video with Matt on how to fine tune a printer for PETG and ABS.
Thanks - learned a lot watching this!
Just getting interested in possibly purchasing a 3D Printer, as I have several inventions ideas, and want to make some working prototypes. Came across this video. Very informative. Thanks.
I am totally impressed by this video. It will remain valuable over time - it can now be called a Bench Mark for future videos of this type (as you mentioned). I've read a few comments and they are saying similar things. You covered about 2 dozen types of printable filaments... are there any more at the time of the video or is that the list of this moment? Well, when the video was made and posted - since I'm posting this comment almost 2 years later!
1) When 3D printers were created in the beginning and up to the Jan 2 2019 date of posting your video, did they have the ability to handle many of the filaments that came along after that date?
2) Have changes been made after that date to the new print heads being invented and produced on newer machines which could handle the old and newest filaments?
3) Those two questions mean that it would not be fun to be the one who jumped into the market place and purchased one of the first 3D printers.
After I wrote questions 1 & 2 I thought of the "Metal" filament. Not only would I have thought that Metal would NOT be done - but they found a way. And that means that something special had to be done to the print head so it would be possible, not to mention the filament had to be developed which could be melted in some creative way and would harden afterwards. Is it truly metal as we know metal?
Well, how about doing an update to this video in about a month? Tell us if these existing filaments have been enhanced and reformulated so the bad or undesirable properties have been developed out of the product now. Same filament name or new name? Keep the same video title with a suffix on it. Thanks
Very interesting to hear about some of these, even though I can't use any of them :)
Interesting format of the vid!
I am presently shopping for a new 3D printer but there are so many. I presently print ABS with a Solidoodle4 and the results are just OK. Most of my parts are for model airplanes. I would like to print PC and nylon and if possible Glass or carbon reinforced materials. What whould be a printer of choice for this? I am looking for best combination and ease of operatin, software and hardware. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I'm really happy to see a video like this but without the inaccuracies that are propagated in many other places. I did miss HIPS though, and I'm still wondering what the point of that stuff is. PP is also missing.
Nice review
Thanks for sharing😀👍
Just watched this and it's time to revisit
The information on your channle has helped me a lot thank you
Great information here, thanks a ton for doing this interview. So after listening to all this I still am not sure what would best serve my need. I am a modeler and currently use an SLA printer but it can be cost prohibitive due to the high cost of resin. What options are out there for a filament that will render great detail with the least amount of finish work necessary? Focus being on clarity of print at small detail and ability to stand the test of glues, paints and of course time.
A great video! I can feel a man of science here
Very helpful video! Thanks a bunch!
Now, this was very informative, thanks!
Learned so much. Thanks!
Awesome Tech Summary .. Thank You
Very solid explanation... None like other
Lots of good information here! Thanks.
Very informative!! Thank you!!
Thank for the guide. It help me alot
Thank you for explaining the different materials, i surely will try others than PLA now
I hope you have awesome results and have a rad time experimenting!
Pretty solid overview. Thanks, Matt. (y)
I know this is an old video but what good info on filaments. I have a printer in the mail so I was going to buy filament and hit a brick wall, haha. I had an idea what I was looking for and a good understanding the types of prints but OMG soooo many filament brands ,types, colors, textures like wood and carbon fiber. Ugh. So many choices. Ty for the knowledge, I will be picking up a roll of PLA, PETG and TPU, that should cover all my current projects atm :D
That was a very usefull video.
Outstanding video jo and good to know
Really good explication I find it very useful. thx a lot.
