On the Pantone thing: the concept of having a library of standard colors guaranteed to match across all manners of textiles, papers, paints and plastics is EXCEPTIONALLY useful for designing things that need to be color matched (I.e. literally anything mass manufactured). In practice, copywriting freaking colors and charging though all orifices for the “right” to use them is INSANE

Yeah, I think a lot of people misunderstand the purpose of Pantone. Although I mostly put that blame squarely on Adobe because of their dumbass blocking of Pantone colors for literally no reason (like unless you're paying Pantone somewhere else in the chain, just using the colors in Photoshop or Illustrator wouldn't even matter).

@@whatr0 as i understand it adobe doesnt block the colors, it blocks the color picker for pantone colors, which is the digital version of pantone paint chips So just like how in the real world if you somehow know how to get the specific color of pantone green you want without referencing a pantone chip you absolutely can In the digital world you can do the same thing But youve gotta pay for access to the reference chips, be it real or digital Thinking about it that way, its alot less bad tbh, like yeah i can accept that if i want to use a reference system i should probably pay for it To that end as well, pantone colors are only valuable if you need to provide a specific color to a manufacturer of some kind, since all they are are standardised colors, all the same colors exist on the color wheel normally just without the standardised names, which effectively means the only people who "need" to pay for a pantone sub are businesses anyway

that is brilliant. that could have some useful applications. I wonder what other lubricants can be used as filament amendments. perhaps glycerin or something.

Funny story in reference to your use of string trimmer line as printing filament-- I essentially did the opposite. I ran out of string trimmer line halfway through edging my front lawn and my car was out of commission so I didn't have transpo to the hardware store to get more until after they were closed, but what I DID have was a spool of bright green TPU, so I figured why the hell not? Gave it a shot and it was.. surprisingly adequate. Not fantastic by any means and it was certainly a slower process because it wasn't as "sharp," if you will, as regular trimmer line, but the only other filament I had was PLA and it would have been far too brittle and weak. In summation, TPU more or less came through for me in a weed-whackin pinch. Now let's never speak of this again. Oh, and thanks for another phenomenal video, F-Man.

Of all the maker channels on the tube of yous, voidstar labs is my favorite and one I look forward to. Thanks for all you and your wife do for us as a community. Very happy that you were able to get through the bs that happened.

When I made my first 3D printer I was very excited and still skeptical that the thing would actually work so I couldn't wait for the filament to arrive and decided to test with trimmer line, without having no idea how hard it is to print. It more or less worked, I was really proud of the machine, you brought a fine memory to me.

Considering what all you went through to make this video reality you did a fantastic job. Feel bad about the old lab but I'm glad you're moving into your new place. Those filaments are extremely cursed.

Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but Inland filament is rebranded eSun. Another good use for the filament at the end of a spool is to get a 3D printing pen and use it to patch up failed prints. Fill in the blemish, sand, prime, and paint.

The script for this was incredible, and the filaments were like an alternate universe I never knew existed. I can't imagine any of these are commercially successful, but I'm getting the feeling that's commonly not a consideration for filament makers.

Love these episodes. Such a good reference when you have a weird special need for filament and need more than specs and cleaned up deceptive samples.

The section on how to use filiment remants reminded me of something that I've been thinking about a lot recently: There's a lot of situations where extra material is needed for something, despite the fact that it won't make it into the final product. I knit and sew a lot, and have been thinking about in it terms of the extra yarn or thread that is needed to properly sew or cast on your knitting project, because you need something to hang on to or slack for proper needle movement. I wasn't able to find a term for this, but I think you could say the same about the bit of filament left on the spool.

Oh, Zach, on topic of PTFE, it decomposes visibly above ~230-250C releasing some neurotoxins, it's "melting point" is around 260C which is why terrible printer manufacturers list 260C as max temp. Not something I'd want print with. And I have to print with it

Glass fiber is usually introduced to plastics for impact resistance rather than any other measure of strength. Things like tool cases, the plastic on power tools, anything a tradesman might use, usually have glass fiber reinforcement to stop them shattering as they get banged around by big solid steel tools.

I like the effort you've put into your writing. Very entertaining.

iirc the thing with pantone is that they're not really claiming to "own the color", they only own the standard they use to name and match them. the photoshop thing is basically so that you can guarantee that a pantone color in your screen will look the same irl even across materials and such, and it blacks it out when you paint it specifically referencing it as a pantone number, but you can replace it for a corresponding hex code or HSV value no problem. it's still ghoulish and horrible, but i'd say not quite as bad as you... painted it... ha

This is my first time watching, and I have to say, this was awesome!

The Poro-Lay filaments work pretty well if you reheat them after printing. A bit more aggressive than annealing, a bit less aggressive than outright remelting. You're going to want to pack your parts in a ballast material to have them hold their shape. In my experience, Poro-Lay parts may fall apart if you soak them fresh after printing, but they're not too bad if you do some heat treatment before the PVA washout step. They're useless for any structural application, but they are pretty nice if you want to experiment with shock absorption or acoustic damping, or if you need a very compliant material.

oh wow, the diy multicolor printed filament actually looks really cool, like striated layers in rock!

I got a roll of esun matte black pla for like a dollar more than the regular black pla and I gotta say, it looks gooood! The matte really helps to minimise the appearance of printing lines, and imperfections during printing or dirt after printing is a lot harder to notice.

"Look im trying to be mature here but thats doo doo baby" 😂 Your videos and humor are priceless

Wow what a great video!! Somehow u make it interesting that I could watch this while I am laying sick in bed! Good luck with the new house

I do a lot of 3D printing for combat robotics, and TPU has been growing in popularity in the past few years. It's an alternative armor to titanium plating that eats up the energy stored in spinning weapons and slowly shreds rather than catastrophically shattering. I wonder how the CF-TPU would perform in that application.

Just want to point out that on the Pantone one, the COLOR itself is not copyrighted, its the color defining (cant think of a better way to describe it) system they use that has been copyrighted. Basically theyt maintain standards that ensure that any color you need can be produced without the need for tons of back and forth with a factory. Lets say you have a T shirt that needs to be a certain color to match your specific logo, so you send a picture of the color over to a factory. Well their monitors might not be calibrated correctly and every sample they send you is totally off, so instead you find the pantone designation for that color, send that over, and as long as they have a pantone reference book/chip set they can EXACTLY match that color for you, and save MONTHS of waiting and failed samples. although putting that in 3d printing filament is kinda dumb.

This is the episode I didn't need, but am cursed to watch, the curse of being ZackiStani
