"your boss is probably setting you up and should join a union" got me fucking dying. The delivery was perfect XD
I clicked the comments button and read this right as he said it in the video and I read it at the exact same speed and time he was saying it. First time that’s ever happened lol
Came here to say the same 🤣
It is true, I am trying to print with CF PEI 1010. I'm currently trying to convince my boss that we are not capable of printing this with our Creatbot F430. The chamber temperature on this machine only goes up to 70.
Same, had to pause the video and catch my breath.
Until a customer specify only plastic allowed peek.
Your rapid-fire patter and stealth-joking are easily appreciable. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, he's actually one of few youtubers that is both informative and funny without feeling like they are wasting your time with dad jokes or whatever.
I don't own a 3d printer but the jokes keep this stuff interesting
I'm just here for the free beer
I mean the pp jokes were about as stealth as fireworks
The company I work for does laser-sintered carbon filled PEKK and it is such a finnicky material, but the things it's good at, it's basically the best at. Unreal chemical resistance, no offgassing, tensile strength on par with aluminum.. the stuff's amazing.
I can’t get enough of the void star labs.
Suggestion: maybe make your own calibration model. Like the chep cube, but more epic. That way, we content consumers can notice your influence exerting it’s force on the community like the sometimes stiff and sometimes soft pp you have shared with us.
yeah go for it
Yeah, I'm sick of seeing benchy.
@@littlejackalo5326 I was sick of them before I even decided what printer to get a couple years ago... Never printed one because of it. The idea of printing a boat that could never float properly just isn't right either.
@@littlejackalo5326 The fact you are sick of seeing benchy is what makes benchy so valuable. Easy to compare things when everyone uses the same benchmark.
@@LightCarver I've printed a couple Benchy's, but I do have to agree, the fact that they float upsidedown bothered me, I recently printed a "Ben the floating benchmark" (150% scale) and it floats upright, and has way more detail, very amusing. 😂
I really appreciate the Trials and Tribbleations you went through for this video.
Yes
Yes.
Yes..
Yes
I liked it, until the end, And I saw the Socialist Trash he associates with…
Awful people..
Zack I hope you realize you are now in a verry good position to make several top 5 videos about the best filament for every type of job. (Best for beginners, toughness, ease of printing, etc...) It would probably be great for weeks when you want to work on an extra long project, cause you seem to already have all the video you need other than the talking head and you actually have experience with all these filaments! plus I really want to hear your opinions 😃
I can't believe how much work went into this 30 minute video. Thank you so much for all the free content!
Shhhh dont give him any ideas. I'd rather pay with my view like and sub rather then actual $ 🤣
“The PP you love, but stiffer”
Got me rolling, love it.
We don't want a soft peepee
"What if you want a soft pp" I died 😂
Gosh dang, are your videos great. I was wondering if you were ever planning on compiling all your data in something like an easy-to-read spreadsheet. Maybe something that included price, basic properties, printing tips, applications, and a short description. Thank you and have a great day!
Ooh, this seems like a project for me. I love a good spreadsheet. Zack is allegedly writing something up like this. Allegedly.
Exciting
Yes please. I am new to printing and would love to know what materials to actually invest my time in.
"You pay for this experience... in money" Love the humor while I'm learning things. Another great video Zack!
24:18 All the AvE fans know how common glass filled nylon is. Scratch with a razor, listen for the crunches. You can even guess the percentage from the crunch frequency when you've heard it enough.
When in doubt, whip the soldering iron out!
AvE Even keeps a bag with sample -materiales- to do further digging
From personal experience, Igus I150 actually prints fairly easy on a basic 3d printer. We ran a wear test comparing it to pla and after the pla was almost worn down the I150 barely lost it's layer lines. If you still feel up to trying Igus materials I would try that.
I'll get my hands on some. I'm definitely curious if the other formulas are as printer-kickingly enraging as J260.
Quick Question: do you start your script with a 3 hour thesaurus sesh??
@The Lonely Proto as far as i'm aware, the goggles don't write the script though
Honestly, I end up busting out the thesaurus for boring words like 'material' and 'excellent' that I use over and over...
God Damnit, I know this series is supposed to tell you what filament to use but I really hope there is a summary video where he plops 6 filament on a table for each type of printer and says use these (with a chefs kiss)
one set for a typical ender, one for your prusa or hemeras out there with direct drive and all metal and one for people who think cars and chips are the same price.
I'll definitely make a recommendation video after the series ends.
It's been 2 years, where's the recommendation video?!?
It is here now haha
@@vintner_Indeed it is
I'm impressed, so much information in such a (relatively) small package. Great work!
Well done
This is amazing! The amount of knowledge and the way it's presented is just out of this world, seriously.
This could be an official filament guide for engineers.
You have literally saved me a ton of research i needed to do for work, all while being exponentially funnier and more entertaining than anything i would have come across... you were made for this, my dude 🤘
This video came up for me via autoplay. I'm glad I watched it. Learned a ton and was entertained all the way through. Great work, thanks for the information, and kudos to the work you're doing! You've probably saved thousands of hours of collective research for the rest of us trying to find the perfect filament for new projects.
This series is such a fantastic wealth of knowledge, watched every episode a few times now, as I try to learn more about 3D Printing as a whole. The insane amount of work that went into this does not go unappreciated Zack! 😁
I was watching this thinking "wow I gotta get me some of th-"
Zack: "Its 600 dollars"
Turns PLA and TPU are just fine
Been waiting on this and checking progress through streams. Amazing to finally see this, great as as always Zach!
20:57 Thank God my buff Pikachu won't be polluting the environment after I die
I started 3d Printing a few months ago, and I have been having a good time with it. I love your videos and have been watching back to learn as much about the hobby as I can.
Thanks you for you service, Zack. If I have to endure 10 minutes of Poly-propylene jokes to discover even one of those interesting filaments, it's worth it.
So happy watching this TH-cam channel become what it has today, you deserve every sub man, also that carbon peek print was impressive for how difficult it is to use, also congrats on your e3d sponsorship!
Zack, I really appreciate your hard work with all the innuendo your commentary! And with your very thorough job printing Benchy's with all these materials.
Thanks for this video Zack! The initial filaments especially. I need something for making my rover, and these are something I will look into in the future!
Thank you for these videos, it's actually hard to find this much information on more exotic filaments in such a concise, convenient format, as I'm sure you know from making the video! Excited to hear about the Colorfabb LW-ASA in the next episode, printing model airplanes is the main reason I got into 3d printing.
Agreed, I was searching for a “list of filaments” or “type of filaments” resource and most things I found just capped off at six or seven just the most common used types. This is really great because not only does it list so many and their properties, it’s also including a test print and print behaviour. It really is an impressive resource and I’m not sure it’s obvious just how valuable it is at first glance.
Hey! Great Video! I have recently been using the Polymaker PA6-GF, it is a glass fiber nylon, and it is possibly the easiest to print polymer i have ever seen, and it is so hard and strong that i couldn't break it with a hammer. Worth a review, because of the incredible strength while maintaining rigidity without stiffness. I genuinely have yet to break it.
Great job! Definitely will be watching this one multiple times. So much information.
The pace, the information density, the quick and not overly delivered jokes...this might be one of the best informative youtube videos ever made.
Video of PEKK turning from translucent to opaque please! That sounds so cool
9:47 “Ignore that layer split, it doesn’t exist.” Bahahaha!
Zach, thanks for these episodes, it's really helpful to know about these 'exotic' filaments and helps to inform decisions I make when I try to pint my next parts!
There is absolutely no down time in this video. Brilliant! So much content, so little waste. And it's free. This is why I'm subscribed!
Wow fusion Filaments, been a fan of them for years. Never seen anyone else review them. Great company and colors. Good video
After finding fusion filaments and trying out their HTPLA+ I was hooked. Bonus points that the filament comes in coils that you can put onto printed spools.
Being able to re-use the spools as opposed to using the black injection molded ones is the primary reason I will be a loyal customer for years to come. Keep up the awesome work FF!
Their HTPLA+ is hands down the best stuff out there for my 3d printed jetboats which get THRASHED. Superior impact resistance to petg, ABS which is what matters. Prints as easy as PLA.
Fancy seeing you here xD
I'm totally impressed with their products. I got some of their PLA and PETG+, both are really consistent, well spooled, great properties, and their color selection is 😗👌. Prices aren't too bad, either.
@@ZackFreedman I couldn't agree more I've been a fan for a while. They seem to be a bit of a hidden gem. Glad to see them getting some publicity. Anthony has been really good to deal with as well.
Given how cheap and powerful DLP printers are becoming I'd love to see a video on different types of 3D printing resin just like this. Personally, I'm looking to expand my additive manufacturing suite with a resin printer and curing setup and honestly have little idea what I'm getting myself into. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's in this position ;)
As always, content delivered in a manner that only you could pull off. Thorough and well done.
Excellent coverage, Zack. Thank you for your thoroughness.
I don't own a 3D printer and I don't expect to own one anytime soon, but you're just that fun to listen to. Love your channel, man
I don't own one either, but I've been watching 3D printer content on youtube for a decade soon while hoping to get my hands on one soon...
I found that Inland's Tough PC aka Polymax PC prints totally fine with a non-all metal hot end using a Capricorn ptfe tube at 258 celcius (a bit under the maximum 260 of the tube) and It easily prints using a slightly modified PETG slicer profile to accommodate higher tempurate and lower print speed. Might not be as strong as printing with higher tempuratures, but it works! Definitely recommend for people with a stock Ender 3 or related if they want to get into some kind of engineering filament.
Good to know. That's about as hot as I'd want to push anything lined with Teflon.
You killed it with this series! Thanks for making this instantly bookmarkable video!!!
The first video was a good catalogue for hobbyist reference. This is insanity. I love it
You've inspired me a lot this year. I have my own company now! I do a lot of custom fabrication with 3dprinters and electronics.
Any tips on doing this? It sounds like a great side hussle as a student
@@jhvnhjifgvbv8126 It really isn't many try and it is a full time business because of client interactions and having to eat and sleep right next to your printer farm and then store the shipping materials and inventory of raw materials and finished parts. Are you going to warranty and offer post purchase service, what about taxes and business license fees, import and export regulations? Or are you going to ignore the law?
Your comment was recommended by TH-cam ai haha
Man seeing filament on the shelves of a store is so strange to me. Super awesome though
I feel blessed to have find your channel. I ordered a 3d printer and then got completely addicted to watching videos on youtube while I wait, your videos are not only the best 3D printing videos around, but maybe the best channel I now subscribe to! This is how TH-cam is supposed to be!
"Phallically acronymized" . You must be the only one in the entire universe to have ever said that combination of words.
You do a really great job of keeping your videos equal parts quality and innuendo
PLEASE let cnc kitchen test every single one of these in strength and impact resistance and every single other property
great video, though as a prusa user, i was annoyed when you said that the prusas were teflon lined. the mk3 is all metal, and the mini is modified to reach 280c
I've never seen a video with so many plosives.
Perusing this plethora of PLA products produced a positive perception in this particular person 👍
His love of all things 3D reminds me of Steve1989 and his love of MREs. Infectious and wholesome enthusiasm... something the world certainly needs right now. Good show, you earned yourself a new sub!
Thumbs up if you've been inundated with innuendos
innuendundated
@@ZackFreedman I tried to read both of these comments out loud... Why do you do this to me Zack.
Proper CNC milling is just subtractive 3d printing. Change my mind.
We need an anti-printer that sucks plastic back up into the nozzle
@@ZackFreedman lighter + metal straw
Glad to have you back! Great vid. Keep it up.
19:51 you can see the moment when Zack starts really picturing Hard stiff PP... lol.
On a more serious note, this material series is by far the most informative and useful 3D printing video series online. Thank You!
Please print a nozzle that prints PLA
right? when he said that I was thinking this man's just teasing
Part 3????
You always manage to teach me something. Not just explain it, but truly teach me something I would have never considered.
Excellent episode! Thank you! Top content. Off-the-charts stuff!
Well i know where my next paycheck is going
12:58 Baking soda doesn't come in bottles
Pop definitely comes in bottles though 😉
I recommend looking into VXL as well for part 3. It's as far as you can go in quality / effectiveness for a soluble support filament.
Became an instant fan. Quite the complex guy you are. I love it
Love the lgbtq friendly nature of this video :) Oh and trans rights in the patreon credits
I'm new to all this and trying to find some one who doesn't say zed is next to impossible, I love your illiterations and I have found my new mentor!!!
i cant understand how you record over half an hour of video... and maintain dope lines with plenty of plosives! new fav channel
quick concise and informative. good video.
I’ve been printing with 3Dxtech ASA CarbonX for a couple weeks. Took some tinkering. High temps, no cooling, enclosure is a must for longer prints. If you’re not impressed with its strength, crank the temps for better layer adhesion. When you get it right, is good looking and super tough but can be brittle. I printed an adjustable wrench that I will actually use. UV resistant and can be used in high temp environments. I will be using for vehicle engine bay components. I was successful with blue painters tape and glue stick. Hardened steel nozzle is pretty important, the filament literally feels like sandpaper.
This guy is so passionate about printing. Love it. 👍👍
Thank you for the information over load. Just amazing.
The nerdiest and funniness thing I've seen in a long time. The laughter at your own expense is truly remarkable. Thank you!
Minor correction - Prusas will happily print at up to 300C - the teflon sleeve in a genuine V6 is on the cold side of the heatbreak and doesn't see anywhere near that temperature (don't go anywhere near 300C in printers like many Ender units that have teflon heatbreaks though)
The sheer cadence of words is just astonishing, those prompter glasses really are doing their part!
My ender3 v2 using hatchbox basic PLA filament was able to print the text on the stern of the benchy which I was surprised at. Loved the video, very informative.
I appreciate you and your work Zak
Primo video.. Its about the best review of filaments i have ever seen .. Thanks for your content. I was unaware of th3 many types of materials we can use.
Incredible and so much dedication ❤️
Wow, seriously impressive video. Best filament compendium I've seen yet.
Love it man these vids are exponentially useful 🙏🏻
OK I gotta tell you really love all the puns and your ability to speak so damn fast and keep everything organized straight and understandable. Keep up the good work.
Been printing with CF-PETG for a while now, and I love it too.
This man is an actual hero thank you for your amazing videos !!!!!
This video was great thanks alot Zack
Cool series! Would love to see a highlight of all the wacky ones- super stretchy, food safe, glow in the dark, etc
Your delivery is nutty good. That alone brings me back to rewinding and paying attention
Thanks a lot for this video! Good job.
Don't even have a printer and I loved the video.its a good class on plastic material property's and why they are important in there own ways
This video is so long. And I don't have a 3D printer. And I could not understand most of it. But I STILL LOVED IT! So many materials! Your lovely exposition made the video really nice to watch! Thank you!
thank you for your service
The Commander Shepherd joke was beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye.
Also Mordin would be proud of your pacing.
Love to see a Denver TH-camr! Keep up the good work! Love your style man.
I'm Denver too. Work in 3d printing lab at school and am about to build my 3rd printer!
its always nice seeing your local microcenter in the background!
PP-GF30 is my filament of choice for the sterilizable lab equipment. It doesn't deflect up to around 130C and does not absorb moisture which makes it perfect for autoclavable parts, especially the internal parts of bioreactors. The chemical resistance is also great and unlike PVDF it's more accessible and much more reasonably priced. I found a reasonably easy way to make it stick to the bed quite well without using a Garolyte bed sheet: slice a model with a 2-layer raft, add 150% extrusion multiplier for the first two layers (the overextrusion allows PP to properly embed into the softened layer of PETG). Then heat up the bed to 120C, load PETG and print the 1st layer at regular 230C nozzle. Change the filament for the PP-GF, heat up the nozzle to 260C and thoroughly purge the remains of PETG out. Continue printing. When cooled, PETG raft naturally unsticks from the PP raft part.
HOW DID I KNOW YOU WERE IN DENVER!?! i was looking at the lay out and as thinking "wow that looks familiar" and i think it is awesome that two or more of my favorite tech youtubers (You and LTT) have done videos in the same microcenter that i got my laptop from
Subscribed because of the Star Trek reference.
Kidding! Would've sub'ed anyway. Awesome video, man! Would like to see a slower pace and some text stats (temps, cost, etc) on the screen for fewer filaments per episode, but whatever. This content is pure gold!
I'm so glad to see you post a video again, good stuff!
This one took a few minutes! Future videos should drop more often, especially since I've actually printed nearly every Benchy for the following three installments.
just found your channel, so glad youtube reccomended it to me!!
I love your videos. Info and humor.
This was really informative
