The end result looks great. 3D printed tooling is being used a lot now and there are materials such as Nylon (printed via SLS) that work very well even after hundreds of pressings. Thanks for sharing this video 👌👍
You can reinforce it using resin right! You can fill the gaps using resin. Then you can use electroplating to make the die stronger if you are going to stamp a lot of pieces.
Surprised solid infill would take that long. That's a TON of surface area to deform. Worked great! With .016" material, what did you offset your dies to compensate? Looking forward to the next one.
I think it was .100" offset. I wanted to use .4mm nozzle to get good detail on the lettering and 100% was way too long. Im sure it would have been better with something like .8mm
That was really cool, but some hints for your video production. It would be good if you gave more details about the process, materials and resources. For instance, what material was that? PLA? What gap did you leave between the dies to allow for the metal to form? How about a link to your guy's trike. Now I have to go search for V8 trike. Is he on TH-cam?
thanks for the incite! My brain is focusing on design and building, and sometimes it's hard for me to really focus on storytelling. Mike Leeds is not on TH-cam, I dont even think hes on social media. I will share some more of his builds soon
DUUUDE!! That looks fricken awesome!! I want try it but, I don’t have access to a big press like that! …Maybe my arbor press can get ‘er done with many presses?! I think I’ll add witness pins to keep it aligned 🤔
I did something similar (but a bit smaller) in a big vice and I've also seen people doing this with hammering on the forms too. Obviously depends on many factors (material, design, depth...), but don't be afraid to try with a smaller press. I made holes for drills to use as alignment dowels.
@@Finnspin_unicycles i made a smaller one later for my own logo and it was definitely doable on the vice or a small arbor. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Think I'm going to try slightly thicker but softer aluminum. The stuff from ACE doesnt tell you the grade but I think its hardened. I see some 1000 and 3000 series stuff near me that is hardened.
Since the forces are pretty localized at the font. The infill takes most of the load. It would be best to just do 100% infill, but im lazy and impatient

Love it
Good to see you doing this again
Thanks for commenting. Ive been working, just not filming as much. More to come!
Nice result!! I think will go try louvers with the same apporche.

At that point just machine it.

Awesome results! What is the clearance between both molds?

@@sheanyquist do you no what file you use to make this?
That worked great! Well done. wb
Right!!!! It was surprising. Usually my dumb ideas dont work that easily
Just curious if that would go easier if you annealed the metal before obviously you need to allow it to cool and would possibly need to polish after
More than likely. I would anneal it if i was going for a deeper embossing for sure
for brass you should anneal it before,it would give even bettter results
Cool project! what clearance do you maintain between the die halves? (between the lower and upper letters)
If you like more die forming video's check out @randomrouting he has cool press brake 3d printed dies
Ill have to check the cad, but i think it was .050" offset

It deformed the tubing i used to press with. It would guess it needs a couple of tons to get it all the way there

It did seem like it has some spring back to it. I would beef up the infill!
Yeah, we are printing 100% infill right now. I got some 3000 series unhardened Alum, see what happens.@@sheanyquist
The wall thickness are more critical than infill.

I’m watching this again, after a year. I’m keen to try nylon filament and 14 gauge(2mm) cold rolled steel. 😑🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🇦🇺☮️🍀
Oh man!!! Ive seen people use gyroidal infill and the fill it with epoxy. Good luck!
HI i realize im late to the party but i didnt happen to hear mention of what material you used for this 3d print?
Petg esun black
@@sheanyquist so cool thanks!
what is the maximum pressure of your press?
20 tons
Did you anneal the brass?
Nope, straight off the shelf. Definitely would have helped, but i dont think it was needed for that thickness. Thanks for commenting!!!!
Siiiiick
Yeah buddy!!!!
How about plastic print the shape, cast ceramic mold around it, then cast alu in the ceramic mold and voila, you have a metal die.
what's your 3d printer?
Cr-10 creality
Thickness?
👍💓!!
