- In this second flexible filament video, I explore some exotic filaments other than the standard TPU that many hobbyists may not even realize exist. It includes Ninjatek Chinchilla and Armadillo, Ataraxia Flexible PLA, and the evil Polypropylene.

Loving your content, so cool to see the Sloth is your spirit animal as well
Great video!
Thanks!
I think that chemical adhesion has its limits for parts sticking to beds and can be annoyingly temperamental. I'm surprised that more mechanical solutions haven't been explored -- ie. special base layer that can be clipped, or fastened to a surface for a perfect, heat-free "adhesion" to the build plate.
I love your mascot! Did you design it yourself?
I hope you don't mind if I give you some constructive criticism. I was very amused with all your flexible filament comparisons. However, I wish you could have shared, in your videos, more of your experience on HOW to print each filament.
In any case, your videos are always entertaining! 🤓
Thanks! I always have so much to share and I always profoundly overestimate how much I can fit into each video. I had some printing tips and tricks planned for this video along with like 12 other things, and my first rough cut was over 30 minutes so I had to make some tough decisions on what to cut. I think I will close out this trilogy with a video on Nylon, and then share tips and tricks that I learned through all three videos.
Re: Mascot - I did not design it myself, though the original licensed image was slightly different and I made a few tweaks to fit my desired theme. This is basically how I am every morning after staying up until 1am tinkering and then groggily getting back down to my cave the next morning 😁
Another great video. Thanks ! BTW what is that gorgeous GOLD filament at around 18:00 ?
It was from a 3pack of Bronze/Silver/Gold colored PLA 0.5kg each. amzn.to/3S6qMHg
I'd like to do color mixing in a 3D printer. I'm thinking that maybe a color laser printer might be the right path. Just need to figure out how to scale it up. Have to see how large of a particle can be affected with static cling reliably.
This is harder than it sounds. Though people have had some success using sharpies to color natural or white filament as it is getting fed into the printer:
th-cam.com/video/yQwkHDDed0o/w-d-xo.html
It would certainly be a lot of work to figure out automatic switching during printing. Also, you don't really ever get sharp color changes, there's always a gradient/transition, which requires a lot of pausing and purging, or allowing gradients into your finished print. Though you can google for "Mosaic Palette Pro" for a very complex solution to multi-color (or multi-material) printing.
@@ObsessiveEngineering I was thinking of using the static cling method like they do in laser printers. Perhaps using sand or some finer grain powder as a medium. There was a 3D printer a couple of years back that could print sand and metal powder into a crucible and you could take the whole thing and fire it in a kiln when it was done printing. Though in this instance I would have the laser sinter the colored plastic in place. Though I need to do some testing to see how large I can get the plastic particles and still reliably pick them up. I doubt I could manufacture my own toner, and certainly store bought would be too expensive to use, but I'm thinking adding dye to ground up recycled water bottles might work.
Love the new name! It's fitting :) How's the RatRig?
Have you seen TPU videos by Lost in Tech? The latest one, about soft TPU, may be helpful with taming that stubborn blue filament.
I have seen some of his videos. Definitely will be reviewing them before giving my tips and tricks in the last video.
The RatRig is awesome. I've gotten distracted with life so I haven't been able to put out as many videos as I'd like, but they're still coming. And I have some RatRig content on my Instagram feed if you want to see spoiler images and clips of the machine before the videos. It's a beast! @alan.reiner
@@ObsessiveEngineering _went to look_ It *is* the beast of a machine!
No worries, the resulting videos are worth the wait :)
How is the adhesion between armadillo and 95A tpu? If it is good it would allow for prints that have "hard and Soft without the weak adhesion that comes with PLa and Tpu.
That's an excellent point. They behave very differently but they are both TPU (at least Armadillo claims to be) so they would probably bond well with each other. If I can get some time and a good idea for it, I'll try it out. Thanks!
Was the tpu in this video printed on the rat rig or one of you other printers?
Most of the printing for this video was actually done before I had the RatRig, even though I published the video after it was done. It was a mix of my Ender3 and frankenstein Makergear M2.
@@ObsessiveEngineering ah nice thx just ordered a v-minion to get my feet wet before tackling a v-core however I'm not going to lie I'm a little nervous bout the wiring part it seems there's a lack of deep dives on wiring and explanations why you should do something a certain way safely.
Good news! It looks like RatRig just added some detailed wiring directions to the build guide. I haven't looked too closely at it, but it's looks way better than before, which was basically just that single wiring diagram. Definitely go check it out and tell me what you think.
@@ObsessiveEngineering awesome definitely looks like more was added for the v core that's awesome! unfortunately I'm starting with the minion and it appears that hasn't got the same treatment lol but maybe I can reference the VCore that may help. I'd imagine some things are similar. Thanks for the heads up maybe I'll get lucky and the minion will be updated to.
