    Probably should have figured that the light source would need a heatsink. If the price is right, I might have to look into one of these, as I'd be more comfortable with leaving it running than I am my FDM printer.

  • @justinchamberlin4195
    @justinchamberlin4195 8 годин тому

    Resin printing technology seems to have leapt ahead even faster than FDM printing technology. My Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K is only two years old, sold for the exact same price, and is frankly pretty far behind in terms of features. It's a nice printer, it's done well for me and I do so relatively little resin printing that I don't feel an urge to upgrade, but man...by the time I'm ready to sell the Sonic on eBay and buy a new resin printer, we'll probably have heated vats and maybe even fancier features (like you see from HeyGears or Formlabs) for a similar price point. It'll be interesting to see how this fares against your UniFormation printer when the temperatures start dropping. Especially if you can find a reasonably-priced aftermarket bed heater for the Mars 5 Ultra.

    anything with a lot of surface area would cause audible pops when the film released between each layer. you could feel it distinctly if you were touching the machine. caused all kinds of distortion. as in, couldn't print functional gears or sprockets. anything light-weight and airy would be fine. wonder if this makes a difference.

      Seems like a good situation to print with a upward tilt of the gear, and just have the stick out supported. Would add height and print time, but at least you'd have a working result.

    probably be a good idea to make a frame under the body from say central heating tube , the stuff is zinc coated so make sure you etch that off before welding , ( they use toiletcleaner for that ) the mustard yellow smoke from the coating burning off is verry toxic would and give you a splitting headacke , even then i would weld it outside ua-cam.com/video/OqsHTey95uQ/v-deo.html central heating pipe is pretty eazy to bend intoo shape with a hand tubing bender to fit thightly under the body and inside the window frame and the bumpers so even if the thing cracks it should hold together not realy rigit as in you can stand on it but strong enough to prevent the thing from caving in , can even pull/push it back out a few times might be able to use pipe intoo pipe to fit the body over the old hotwheels frame once you epoxied the main frame to the underside of the body , that allows you to transport the prop intoo two pieces so it doesnt snap from being carried around and be light enough to lift to late to order hubcaps i think but you probably be able to 3d print sumting tht fits in place of the original covers (dont realy see the point though the current ones look fine )

      I planned on making a frame actually. Mostly to make it easier to carry (hold the frame, not the car). But it would've added a lot of weight and the bottom of the powerwheels isn't flat, so it would have been too complicated

    I was expecting at least 1 failure - No failures at all in that many hours is pretty darn good though not unheard of good, and I have no doubt it will have a print failure at some point as there are just too many points of failure for a FDM machine, and even when the machine is absolutely perfect imperfect filament can't always be overcome.

    • @PaulsGarage
      @PaulsGarage 3 дні тому

      Yeah I was shocked. The only explanation I could think of was the industrial machine connection. I've never seen so many ball bearings on everything, nothing has any slop. Most of this project used filament that didnt print well on anything but a prusa printer, and even then I had no print failures. The filament runout sensor and restart features also worked. It's crazy. Like i said though it won't do nylon, it isn't fast, etc, but it does work with incredible reliability.

      @foldionepapyrus3441 3 дні тому

      @@PaulsGarage IMO 'fast' for a FDM machine isn't worth worrying about, as 'fast' as FDM can go is still pretty darn slow - when almost every print will take either 1-4 hours or half a day+ you are either going to be sitting around all day to change print job once or twice or just left it to its own devices. (nobody ever seems to make parts that end up in the middle ground time wise, its always a handful of hours or come back tomorrow) So IMO other than a few interesting edge cases where printing faster so the layer time is very low improves layer to layer adhesion or makes the bridges much neater its really not worth worrying about how fast the printer can go, reliability is definitely more valuable.
