- Some incredible minds at work with Steve Schwarzer out at Killroy's Workshop in Colorado Springs made a HUGE discovery in the world of mosaic damascus, so we're here to put it to the test and see if we can replicate their processes and answer the question: can you 3D print mosaic damascus?

Love it, and great job on that! Our lab is hard at work testing more good stuff!!
Freely sharing this information really says a lot about the community.
Thank you.
Super cool! By tweaking your print a bit you may be able to make loading the can much easier. Instead of printing a solid bottom layer, print caps on either side of the pattern that correspond to the different alloys. You can then pour all of one alloy and then tape off the cells. Flip the form over and fill all of the other cells for the different alloy. Might make things easier when you have small cells for really detailed patterns.
That is indeed an exciting new process, and says so much about our smithing community that it was immediately shared. Wow. Guess my wife and I are going to have to have a discussion about the acquisition of a 3D printer!
I 3d print a lot on the side. I'd be interested in doing some stuff for blacksmiths, if anyone wants to send designs. I'd like to see what this looks like in a finished blade.
Very nice idea ! I might give a try ! Maybe the best would be to avoid any colored PLA especially the white one as the pigment can be mineral (such as TiO2).
so grey or black pla?
@@dragonwing4ever clear or natural are pigment free. Though I said that but never tried
@ its always worth the try I've never attempted it either, but thats why we experiment and see what works
Holy Crap!!! This is freaking cool! Can't wait to see what other folks do with it!
Today it’s tessellating patterns, tomorrow it’s a Damascus billet featuring every frame of Rick Ashley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” music video.
Now I’m wondering if I could make custom dies for my press? This is awesome. Thanks for sharing
Hmmm will metal pla filament work even better?
There are several with Iron/Brass/and others
Also will a .1 mm nozzle for .1 wall work better?
you can also make you interior walls thinner than you nozzle but speeding up the print and slowing down the filament feed.
I now have new things to try
I think the issue would be mild steel sporadically throughout the billet
.1 nozzle might be a lot more trouble with clogging
Coooool!!!
This is game changing!
Excellent results! Great job guys!
Thank you! Still lots to learn about this new technique :)
Have you tried any metal fill pla? I'm curious if there is enough powder in the fillament to give you an outline.
Holy smoke, mind blown. Will be firing up the Ender 3 this weekend, looks like!
This is groundbreaking
Verrrrry interesting concept!
Awesome video! But I have to admit I laughed my ass off after the “that went well “ 🤣 I’m sorry but just the music and everything. But seriously awesome stuff and I’m already working on trying myself!
Very cool! Lots of possibilities.
Great break thru !
This is the coolest stuff I've seen. Huge respect to all of you. This is revolutionary
How thick are you/they printing the walls within the design? Haven’t been able to find anything that gives a specific measurement.
This is super awesome! I know I'm a month late to this party, but after the PLA burns out in the forge the canister won't be well packed anymore. Maybe the first weld should try to re-pack the powder by using one of the ends as a piston?
just WOW!
What size is the 3d print ? 3inch x 3inch x 3inch maybe ?
What thickness are you using for the lines with the PLA?
We printed as thin as possible on our Pursa Mini. It was about 2 wall layers thick (about .03 in per wall).
We are testing 1 wall thickness but different shapes too. Angles, radius, etc come into play. Lots of testing going on.
@@CoalIronWorks I have a friend that wants to try this and I am currently printing him a test model. I will let you know how it turns out. I am doing a 99% infill at first to see what it will turn out like. What are you all using for infill on your printing?
@@xavier7899 if it's all two lines thick, infill won't matter.
i dont know why ppl thinks shaky camera style is cool, i really wanted to watch this video but couldnt watch it let alone enjoying it
What program are you using with this 3 D print to make a canister damascus knife. If you dont mind sharing
Hello! We used PrusaSlicer along with our Prusa Filament printer to print the pattern. Hope that helps!
Do you take orders for canister patterns for knife makers without a 3D printer
Fantastic!
