OMG! I was just considering making a small chest for the remote controls with wooden filament but the high cost it would have had me in doubt. Your trick about using cheap one on the inside is a great trick! Great job and thank you!
That finishing technique for the wood PLA turned out great. I also use that stainless steel pin media for wet tumbling brass cases for reloading ammunition. Even the most corroded and carbon fouled up cases come out looking brand new and shiny. The trick at least with reloading ammo is a generous squirt of dawn dish soap and about a teaspoon of lemishine which is a dish detergent booster to prevent hard water deposits. It is basically citric acid and helps to polish the cases and remove harder deposits. Maybe a bit of lemishine with the brass and bronze parts would shine them up a bit dish soap may also keep the gunk from sticking to the prints.
Woah! I didn't even realize that chest was 3D printed at first ... I mean, I'm sure it looks less realistic in person, but I had no idea 3D printers could do this sort of thing!
Thank you. It actually looks even more realistic in person. Everyone at work thought it was wood. Unfortunately one lady thought the key was real bronze too and turned it so hard that she broke it off in the lock.
That bit with the Alexa at the beginning made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Great video, though! This is something I actually want to try out!!!!
Best Wood post processing vidéo i've Seen so far. English is not m'y native language so can briefly explain to me how exactly thé tumbler is working and... Its original purpose ?...
The tumbler works like a clothes dryer. It scoops up the parts and drops them over and over again. My father used to metal detect (finding coins underground). He used the tumbler for cleaning the coins by adding small rocks with the coins and letting them tumble for an hour or two. It is useful for anything that needs to be polished, cleaned, or smoothed.
This was awesome, really helpful! I just ordered a spool of wood PLA and I will definitely use your tips for finishing the prints. I won't bother with the metal filament though. Seems like a hassle and not really all that useful. I hope we get metal 3D printers for home use eventually!
Yes, it is pretty nice in person too, although the parts I printed with it just didn't look right for the chest, so I may have to stick with the real brass and bronze.
Thank you. I always feel sorry for Hephaestus, the poor crippled bastard. He doesn't get a lot of notoriety these days. Perhaps because of his unwieldy name.
Thank you so much. The wood is from MG Chemicals Wood PLA and can be found on Amazon. The steel is Protopasta Magnetic Iron PLA. The brass and bronze were ColorFabb BrassFill and BronzeFill PLA.
I have a brass tumbler for shell casings, it has walnut husk polishing media in it. Does anyone have experience using that to polish these plastic and metallic parts ?
Sorry, I thought I mentioned them in he video. The wood is from MG Chemicals Wood PLA and can be found on Amazon. The steel is Protopasta Magnetic Iron PLA. The brass and bronze were ColorFabb BrassFill and BronzeFill PLA.
Thats awesome! I want to dive into wood and metal filled filament post processing soon and this helps me a lot as it answers some questions I had. Do you think that metal polish also works with making the parts shiny? Thanks for the video. Cheers! Say hi to Alexa from me. ^^
Hey there Rod. I think a product like Brasso could work well in giving it a wetter, shinier look but that is one thing I have not tried yet. I did try an aluminum polish once (because that is all I had on-hand) but it did not work the way I had hoped, but I think it was really the wrong product for the job. Thanks for watching. Alexa says, "Who is Rod Snyder? Tell him hi or whatever. Are you still on the computer. You really need a life."
Are they really that expensive? I guess most of that is labor costs and probably company overhead since the demand for these is probably quite low and they obviously last for some time.
I think the Egyptian god P'tah (god of artisans and craftsmen) predates the Greek ones, so he may be the original maker ;-) Good video with useful information. I liked, I subscribed, but I bought Svetlana's book instead. ;-)
best video regarding wood and metal filament + post processing, this vid needs more views!!!
Hey, thank you so much. It took a lot of work to make, so I am glad you appreciate it.
am getting started in printig wood and copper and none of the videos I found so far covered it all :)

What slicer settings allow this?
Amazing result! Loved seeing all the cool tricks to get plastic looking like wood and metals.

Thanks for the tips.
something you might consider a wire brush and doing a pass or two over the part to slightly gouge the part and simulate wood grain a bit more

😭 poor 🗝
i love that you show it in slic3r too, most people would just expect you to use the same one but that is great
Thanks. I use both since each one is better or worse than the other for certain tasks and printers.
Great job ^_^ I love how casually you say things like "my other utilimaker". I need 3D printers in my life.
Thank you. I'm definitely spoiled with four printers.
But PLEASE don't buy an ultimaker, they are overpriced as hell
Nice explainer - gonna have to try this as your results look much better than others I've seen!
you could also add fuzzy skin from cura with some tiny polygons, looks nice on wooden prints
Excellent techniques, thank you for sharing!
Amazing work and thanks for putting this video together. As a woodworker that looks like as much work as building this out of wood but great job.
Awesome results!
Great video, looks just like real wood.
Very very nice video! I just bought a roll of Easywood filament and can't wait to try it
Great! I hope it works well for you. Thanks for watching.
Dude, you just got yourself a subscription because of the Alexa bit, bravo sir, bravo! 🤘🤘
Ha-ha, thanks. She is my plucky sidekick in a few of my videos.
@@0calvin PS, sick workmanship, loved the video!
That bit with the Alexa at the beginning made me laugh so hard for some reason 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
The best quality oak is quarter sawn to give straight grain patterns and medullary rays
Great job. Great video. Thx for posting.

nice to see some actually well though out comedy on an instructional video :) great content my dude
Tapey tap tap, mmmm a bit like Ave mixed with a bit of Old Tony. You've got potential.
Subscribed.
Thank you. I don't do many 3D printing videos these days, but I appreciate the sub.
Awesome video! Thanks
Thank you for the Video. Its helps me alot.
looks cool, nice job
Hello, could you please pass me the profile of the CURA? I have the same chimera and I can't print well
So you don't have to put primer before staining right?
This was awesome, really helpful! I just ordered a spool of wood PLA and I will definitely use your tips for finishing the prints. I won't bother with the metal filament though. Seems like a hassle and not really all that useful. I hope we get metal 3D printers for home use eventually!
The copper filament you showed at the end is great! Maybe why it goes out of stock fairly fast ;) Thanks for the video
Yes, it is pretty nice in person too, although the parts I printed with it just didn't look right for the chest, so I may have to stick with the real brass and bronze.
@@0calvin this one looked like a metal wood to me-kinda neat though hobbyking.com/en_us/metal-composite-3d-printer-filament-red-copper.html
It does sort of look like antique brass. I might have to try it out. Thanks.
Great info, thanks for sharing : )
Nice.
nice video dude!
subbed!
If you paint mustard on copper if creates a turquoise like colour
Nice video. Keep it up bro.
Thank you very much.
Greek mythology part was lovely
Thank you. I always feel sorry for Hephaestus, the poor crippled bastard. He doesn't get a lot of notoriety these days. Perhaps because of his unwieldy name.
Alexa throwing shade 🤣
Nice job
Thanks for sharing :-)
Great video, and excellent results on the finished products. And maybe I missed it in the video, but what brand of filaments are you using?
Thank you so much. The wood is from MG Chemicals Wood PLA and can be found on Amazon. The steel is Protopasta Magnetic Iron PLA. The brass and bronze were ColorFabb BrassFill and BronzeFill PLA.
Does the trick with controlling the line directions work in Bambu studio?
Sorry, I don't own one so I don't know. If nothing else, rotating the part should work I would think.
You could probably get a locksmith to copy the key out of actual metal and then avoid it breaking
I have a brass tumbler for shell casings, it has walnut husk polishing media in it. Does anyone have experience using that to polish these plastic and metallic parts ?
Great way to make 3d prints appear like wood and metal. About your ultimaker original, how did you do your dual extrusion setup?
I tell a little about it here: th-cam.com/video/fjvBoHkQN64/w-d-xo.html
This is really cool, I love it. I would just like to know what filament you used however as I would like to replicate this myself
Thanks

@@0calvin great thanks a lot 😊
Question for anyone who did this. How hard is the material... could I easily stab a knife though the material? I need something tuff as real wood.

That iron filament IS magnetIC it's just not magnetIZED.
Otherwise great video - thanks!
EXCELLENT VIDEO. Not much like it!
seeing the rock tumbler is about 150 bucks i wonder what your father paid for it decades ago lol
Are they really that expensive? I guess most of that is labor costs and probably company overhead since the demand for these is probably quite low and they obviously last for some time.

OK, but Flicker World is now available as an audiobook so you can try that instead :)
Wasnt paying attention, thought you said "i called her the 'N' word"
