I don't get it. You print the part to attach first then attach it when the base part pauses for you to add the attached part. Besides that it's not very different than a normal print. Either get a printer with a reliable power resume feature or get a UPS.

I sometimes use a soldering iron to fuse parts. Sometimes pushing a staple between them for strength, and loose filament to fill gaps, but it's tricky trying to keep a uniform surface and isn't good if you care about aesthetics. Also you are limited with the parts the iron can reach, which is just the outside surface.

I’m not sure itll have the same strength as if printed normally. There will be a definite weakness at the interface between the old part since they are not bonded. Thus, the strength will decrease proportionally to the size of this interface.

@JJFX-

Жыл бұрын

Yeah for strong functional prints, everything about the design and how it's sliced/printed is a different mindset. Depending on the material, using a suitable adhesive or solvent to bond the parts or even melt them together at the contact points could end up comparable but I'd avoid this as much as possible. In this case, I doubt it would be substantial enough to matter simply because it's not designed for strength to begin with.

Besides the useful tip, I love how this video is made into a perfect endless loop!

I love stuff like this because it takes an idea that may well have been considered by many people many times, but puts it into a context that effectively says “cool idea, now DO IT.” Way too many ideas never make it past the concept stage for no better reason than “meh, don’t feel like it” when all it would take is a handful of supposedly “meh” ideas to make something brilliant - for example somethin like, oh I dunno… strapping together a few hobby motors and a funky resistor to make some doohickey that leaks hot plastic into weird shapes.

Well, I usually just ignore the laws of physics

That's actually very smart for parts that can be difficult to remove supports on. A little effort in meshmixer would go a long way! Maybe even making use of acetone or some super glue to increase the strength of the bond to more than a few surface layers for parts that could make better use of the extra strength!

@BirnieMac1

Жыл бұрын

Don’t use acetone for PLA though - it’ll weaken it THF iirc is the one to go for there? But I’m not sure how neccesary it’d be if the hotend is ironing the surface too It achieves the same thing, turns the plastic layers into a liquid phase and then as they dry/cool they’ll solidify as one homogenous phase (at least I think it’s homogenous if the temp goes above glass point?)

This is insane I love it, such a creative idea!

The point is to consider this and other methods as options. Here it's not a functional part, so the strength difference doesn't matter. If you need to consider this for a functional part, there are mods you could make to the design that would compensate for the lack of solid bonding like making the support arms wider, etc.

Yeah the video title and thumbnail suggest some elaborate or novel solution, creating a difficult piece out of multiple easier pieces has been done since humans built things. I thought he did something like moving the z-axis down to print with a free hanging string. Inserting a the part during the print is newish I guess (but I've seen it before with things like nuts) but this isn't even really necessary here. Using glue would probably be easier and just as strong.

That's done great thinking right there! Well done!

I used this method to insert filter paper into a coffee filter print!

It's not as strong. If you pause a print 15min or so, depending of the material, and you resume, you don't get the same layer adherence. It doesn't matter for this part for sure but keep that in mind.

At first I just assumed it was made in two prints but this is actually really cool. Might have to try this out.
