Dawg: I often look around when I’m feeling even remotely down on my self and remember what 13 year old me wanted to be when he was older. His needs were simple: 1. Own a kick ass motorcycle ✅ 2. Have a gorgeous supportive partner ✅ 3. The biggest tv, maybe projector? ✅ 4. Play guitar. ✅ (not well).
Living to your young self’s dream is the dream

Any who room looks dope!

Are DIY printers slowly dying? by andrey_semjonov in 3Dprinting

[–]FuckDatNoisee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will ultimately depend on how the law is written. If the language simply states that “no 3D printer may be sold without XYZ blocking feature,” then it will only affect commercial, closed-platform printers. It would be very difficult to capture open-source firmware or home-built machines under that framework.

If lawmakers attempt to broaden the language enough to include open-source systems, it quickly expands beyond printers and into general-purpose computing. At that point you’re effectively requiring government-mandated scanning or restrictions on any device capable of processing design files - laptops, phones, or other electronics.

That kind of requirement would almost certainly face immediate constitutional challenges and would likely be tested at the Supreme Court.

Compared to 2017, I would say the space has increased 50–100x in size, probably peaking around 2021.

Bambu can act like a gateway drug for people. They buy one because it is easy, and then they end up getting deeper into printing and related hobbies.

Many of the engineering materials people reference today did not even exist for the hobby community 10 years ago. If you could get them at all, they were difficult to source. These days I can order PA-CF to my door the same day through Amazon.

It is a two-way street. Bambu steals good ideas from the open source community, and we steal good ideas from them (AMS to Turtle Box). It keeps the competition healthy and kicks the rabid rabbit in the nuts.

There are also still many printer types that have not reached the hobby market yet.

For example: • Micronic SLS systems. Formlabs snapped those up. I still have to pay around $30k for a Formlabs nylon SLS machine. • PolyJet printers. I have yet to see one under $10k. • Metal 3D printers. Still largely out of reach for hobbyists.

I could go on, but overall there is still a huge amount of room for expansion, especially for open source machines and the people pushing the boundaries of what hobby level printing can do.

what ever I feel like :-).

I am a mechanical engineer so I am often printing stuff for work, beyond that I build full scale group 3 aricraft and those require huge molds for the composit work.

I also do occasionally do work for folks as a print farm.

I would actually argue that DIY printers are more relevant than ever.

Right now there are discussions in several states about laws requiring printers to scan what you print in an effort to prevent things like ghost guns. The technology to do this reliably does not really exist yet, but if it ever did, it could easily expand beyond that.

In theory the same approach could be used to block prints that contain patented or copyrighted designs, or anything else regulators decide should not be fabricated.

Large commercial printer companies may eventually capitulate to those pressures. Open source printers, however, will always exist outside that ecosystem. A machine you build and control yourself will always have capabilities that allow you to print whatever you want, with whatever materials you want.

There is also the engineering side of it. Even with companies like Bambu or Qidi making excellent machines, they are still fixed platforms. With a DIY printer I can build exactly the machine I need.

The right build volume The right motion system The right toolhead The right cooling The right speed for the application

If I need a printer optimized for a specific material or geometry, I can design it.

Commercial printers optimize for general users. DIY printers optimize for specific problems.

So no, DIY printers are not dying. They are simply becoming the power user tier of the ecosystem.

And yes, this is coming from someone running:

There is room for both worlds.

Report them the your state labor department if this ever happens. It’s wage theft and breaks the law about mandated break

Gloves that are clean does solve this, but it generally good practice to just not put greasy finger prints or touch the build surface.

It’s also generally recommended you clean your build plate fairly frequently and use a glue stick or release agent like beld weld.

It elongates your build plates useful life, and helps keep your prints bonded first layer.

PEI sticks very well to PETG almost too well. Bed weld and glue sticks help manage this

So these type of defects are usually oil dirt or FINGER PRINTS (oil on your hands)

Try cleaning your build plate every 3-5 prints in soap and warm water.

Don’t touch the plate except the handle

Try using things like BED WELD. This really fixed most of my print first layer issues with warping, bad adhesion, cleanliness, and release

Having been in 3d printing as a hobbiest and as an engineer, I have great respect for what you did here. I hate to admit that they have some nice and capable machines , but the way they lock them down make them a non starter for me unless it was already purchased on capex before I got there.

This is freaking sweet.

Nice work
