- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- This is part one of a hopefully three part series, where I share some things I have learned over the last year while 3D printing onto textiles. In this episode, we cover some things that I've printed, fabrics that I use, and information about the PFLAT sheets that so many of my prints get their holographic effect from.
For a closer look at the mesh, check out the fabric mesh sample pack kaizen3dprints...

Please, let me know if you have any questions about anything that I covered here and I will create additional content in part 2. I would love to hear any feedback that you have!
I desperately need part 2 of the series. This is incredible!! Thank you so much for sharing
@camilaschmidt7708 I was thinking about part 2 this morning! I've felt so overwhelmed with everything else going on it's hard to carve out time to give it the energy it deserves
Definitively waiting on the part 2. The first one was so interesting
Also waiting on part 2 please
Can't wait for part 2! ❤🎉 Happy new years!
Part 2 please, your work is inspiring
I love how detail oriented and organized you are! Life goals!! This is one of the best videos on printing on fabric that I’ve seen.
On a different note, great job on the video quality, lighting, and audio quality!
Thank you!
@@NathanAlber Whoa, sweet! Thanks so much, I appreciate the feedback! Much more to come!
So my Bambu A1 is actually a custom sequin maker - mind blown! More please :D
Love your set background, It's so exciting looking. There are so many very specific details including what your experiences are with each. I loved the example of stretchiness with each of the different stretches. This is one of those videos that you come back to again and again because there is just so much wonderful information. Thank you for sharing your experience and always being there to help people-including me with all my questions!! -Courtney
Thank you so much! I'm so excited to make the next round of videos!
Looking forward to Part 2 when you're ready! Love this process. Thank you.
I've tinkered with printing on fine powermesh, and I'm interested in doing more, so this is timely. Thanks!
That green cloak is beyond cool, it looks amazing
@@magatsu82 I loved showing it off at the Christmas party, I was sent quite a few photos of it from random people after the night was over 😅
Great work mate! Awesome to see a breakdown of your processes and passion for it all!
You are so organized and methodical and clear in your presentation. You are a natural teacher. I am curious, in your design experiments, how do you keep track of all the details like filament, mesh type/brand, printer settings etc? You must have so many experimental iterations so the data you process must be substantial! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into your videos and for sharing the information with us. The learning curve for making 3D prints, let alone fabric, has been a deterrent to this crafter. The up-side is I can buy finished 3D printed items from you! I can't wait to get the 3 handbags you made for me to carry my phone around in.
@becre8tive199 I appreciate your support so much! Can't wait for you to receive them, they're stunning in person!
Bambu's slicer does a great job at keeping track of filament types, and I can create unique settings based on the filaments, where the parameters are saved. It does take a good amount of time, so much of that knowledge is just sitting in my noggin, I'm glad I'm taking the time to create these videos!
This is a very well-done video. Thank you for all the information and for all the work that goes into making these videos.
My pleasure! Looking forward to creating the next!
Down in Eugene doing the 3D Print thing. Love this. My wife is a seamstress, so we are definitely watching the whole series. :-) very cool.
Awesome! So glad to have you here!
Frikkin' amazing! This has so many applications - Pandora's box of ideas has been opened in my brain, I just can't 😅
Awesome work 👍
Bro, i literally thought this was a channel with at least 100k subscribers. Keep up the amazing videos and i have no doubt you'll get there. I subbed with a quickness! This information is absolutly a game changer for the cosplay community💯 this is such a high quality video🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much! Ill be putting more energy in getting more videos posted here, it's a blast!
Learnt so much already, looking forward to the other parts!
My experiments so far were with a nylon mesh which I found to be a rather stiff. Didn't even bother measuring the thickness to match it with my layer height. Derp.
Seeing the range and materials you've tested is brilliant information.
Thank you so much for sharing!
@@Pumpkinwaffle there are soooo many types of fabrics out there. Best to just get your hands on them and get some in person learning! I found that the 60x10x3 bar magnets work very well for holding the fabrics tension when you're working with a stretchy mesh
thank you algo for this lovely suggestion and thank you daniel for making neat stuff
Very cool prints and tips! Thank you!!!
WooHoo! Been following you on insta, I think since you first started doing the print on fabric stuff, still stunned how great you are at sharing it with others.
Thank you, kindly! It brings me great joy to have a community like this to share knowledge with!
I found your page on FB and I really hoped you're also on TH-cam. I'm so glad I've found your channel, I love your content.
Looking forward to this series. As a fashion designer myself I am very curious about 3D printing on fabric, I have often wondered about the process especially calibrating the first layer correctly without the nozzle snagging the fabric and still adhering to the build plate.
Awesome feedback! Looking forward to creating more videos, absolutely! The first layer is printed followed by a pause command at the beginning of the second layer. You then place the fabric (layer height matching fabric thickness) and magnets and resume the print. I generally print 35mm/s on first layer and 50-75 all other layers. I've found faster speeds have the potential to snag and pull parts of the print up.
thanks a lot for honest sharing everything with all the details. valuable
Thank you for starting this series. Such an interesting topic that isn't covered by many and especially not in detail. 👍👍
Thank you for putting together this awesome video! These techniques are so exciting I can't wait to try out some of your techniques. Please keep these great videos coming. SUBSCRIBED!!
You are awesome bruh, thanks for sharing these amazing creations.
Awesome. Been waiting for this video set
@@Hack3rRunway more to come! I appreciate the patience 😍
@@kaizen3dprints of course. I've learned so much
So informative! 👏 🔥
Thank you for sharing your techniques!! This is insanely cool.
You are so welcome! More to come!
Great video, I’m gonna try this!! You should try putting the close up shots of fabric as B-roll while you’re talking about them from further away. Keep up the good work!
@@wasstinmytime94 great idea! My wife and I were just talking about that tonight
This is so amazing, really inspiring work! Got a sub, keep em coming ❤
Amazing! Thank you for the kind words, I'm going to do all that I can! :)
Awesome video! Showed it to my wife and she immediately got the idea of a medusa costume for next halloween. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to part 2 with the sewing, glueing and so forth. 😉
Me toooo , which settings do you need etc 😊. Because he is in the Usa i cant buy from him 😢. Shipping and tax would make me cry
I've been seeing your stuff in the FB groups and on TikTok. I've been tempted to try it, so I'm glad you're putting this series together!
@@Oregon3DPrintandDesign awesome!! I definitely feel like I need to join some of these groups 😅
Went scrolling for part 2 but I’m just going to rewatch this
@@OneNutNerd i start work on part two tomorrow!
@@kaizen3dprints take your time and thank you!!
Way helpful intro video for what I want to learn
@@jacegarfield2517 part 2 is happening at the new year!
Great Break down of the materials.
Very cool, thanks for the science
Lol when you said i hope i can focus on what i want to say. 😂 i am the same way.
I just bought some tulle, and can’t wait to try printing on it. I want to make things to go with my facepainting business. So extra’s , masks , jewelry, capes etc. 😊
1 question; how do you keep your filament dry? I see them laying there in an open closet….
@@sophiemulders so fabulous! Illusion mesh from www.dfwfabricmart.com is my favorite it's so strong
@sophiemulders this was during the summer where it's pretty dry 😅 all my filament has migrated into my dry room. I have a massive dehumidifier in there that keeps everything where i want it
This is so cool!
@Rayuaz sweet! Glad you think so!
It would be good to see close ups on the beginning of the video. Those items looked good but no details were shown.
@@aryaprincess2479 great feedback, that will be the first part of my next longer video!
@@kaizen3dprints Thank you, show them upclose with all their tips and tricks.
I would have liked to see close ups of the 3d printed cloths you made.
@@hed420 awesome feedback! I'll get some closer shots in this next video
Thanks for doing this!!
My pleasure!
So awesome.
🎉
❤❤
You can just stretch a t-shirt over the bed carefully with clips and print right on it. I'm doing it right now with PETG.
Please continue the series!
I’ve been wanting to combine 3d printing and clothing for a while. Keep it up. The hood ande the sweatshirt sleeves are 🔥
Working on it! I appreciate your patience! :)
Yes! Wonderful!
@@apricotdog thank you!
great work
Hoping for a part 2
@Nicole-c4v thank you for your patience! I had some water damage that made me switch focus just a smidge 😅 part 2 will be here soon!
This is would great for splitting up a hueforge print into little tiles and embedding into a mesh so you can wrap non-flat objects with hueforge prints
@@Gliposy ding ding ding! Absolutely
Advice on printing on the 4 way power mesh? I am printing your gift box same magnets but letting bunching of the mesh. Pulling as tight as possible .26 layer height since .24 had same issues.. but seems to be Alittle less at .26
@FishingPhoFun what speeds are you printing at? With the superfine powermesh i print at 35mm/s. Great adjustment of the layer height to offset the thickness
Has part 2 been posted? I can't find it 🤞🏼
@nickieblueyes32 no 🫣 I've gotten pulled in so many different directions, this coming week I'd like to refocus on some more videos! Thank you for the bump!
What a great video! Do you think we can print on shower curtain vinyl?
@couryrussell7653 oooooh i have no idea! I know I've used a heat press vinyl as my build plate in the past and while the pattern transferred, the vinyl didn't hold up well 😅
@@kaizen3dprints so hear me out on where I’m at! I have an enclosure for my printer with a flap opening that closes with Velcro and I need to hook up some ventilation. I have everything figured out except how to seal that flap which is 11”x7”. My thought was to attach Velcro to a cut piece of shower curtain and cut the 4” hole into that but I’m also needing some way to support the weight of the duct adapter/fan. After watching this video I had that inspiration of printing attachment points onto the shower curtain and sealing the hole up with the Velcro
@@couryrussell7653 sounds like you've got a good grasp on what needs to happen! Do you have any sewing skills?
@@kaizen3dprints never a better time to learn than now! I put the Velcro on the shower curtain so far and it seem promising so far. Next step is to attempt to print on said piece of vinyl
this is really cool. Can this be printed on ender printers?
@@badnam008 yep! All 3d printers should be able to print on fabric. Some older enders have glass beds where you'd have to use tape instead of magnets
@@kaizen3dprints Thanks, do you have a blog where I can see what setting to change in cura.
Hi can u please suggest where to start I am new so what fabric can I use starting , tell me best and good fabric
Wow those are so cool. Do you sell finished products? I live in the Portland area as well.
@rachaelb9164 nice! Hello, fellow portlandian! I sell some stuff, sometimes 😅 it all depends on my workload
dont only print on fabric, 3d print the fabric, tpu is one good synthetic fabric
@gsestream yep! TPU certainly has its advantages! It can't replicate some of these materials, however 😪
@@kaizen3dprints I think you could print tpu mixed with cotton strands, like carbon fiber 3d print filaments, tho.
you can also just put the plate into the freezer a couple of minutes and it will be easy to remove
@werbeunterbrechung3157 I tried that a while back with a textured plate, it helped but wasn't the magic I had hoped 😅
How do you sew it together? I'm printing dragon chainmail and want to sew it into a bracers.
@Johnohio740 great question. I'll be covering this very soon!
Where'd you get a textured build plate for the Neptune 4 max? I can only find ones that are for 300x300 or lower
The Neptune 4 max came with a textured pei plate. I've been debating using 4 @ 220x220mm pflat sheets to create a large scale sheet 😅
Would the pflat plates work/has anyone tried with a resin printer?
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
what camera did you use to record this vid?
@@johnjohnjman i used my samsung s24 ultra for this one. This is before I had a lavalier microphone as well 😅
Thanks. The vid quality is really amazing
Tule time.
amazing work, love it but a bit annoying that the hotbed lines are still visible in some angles. material science is a b;|ch
@mortyforty8404 that's why I loved getting my larger printer so much! That blue cloak was one of the first things I used uv resin on, I've gotten much better at hiding those lines 😅
You need to employ at least a two camera system, just a verbal description is not doing it, and making closeups later on is a waste. Otherwise nice .
@@Kamikaze3557 thanks for your feedback. I'll keep that in mind!
follow you on instagram, glad to see your on youtube as well
Hope to have more In depth videos here soon!
