Satisfying Prints from the Daedalus 3D Printer!

3d printed speakers we've done part one we've done  part two this is not part three but we have to   get through this to get to part three and to get  through this we got a lot to go through because   i'm gonna talk about this machine and the prints  that it's doing so uh y'all baby let's do it hey there welcome back yes this is a really  really big bender 200 scale in fact before   we talk about this though and this machine right  here i'm going to talk about some prints from it   um i'm going to give you kind of the the process  that i've gone through in order to make the prints   the best they can be we're going to talk about  this tiny speaker and then we're going to talk   about the last printed piece of the puzzle for  the 3d printed speakers i think that's fun before   we do that though i'm gonna here is here is my  view this is this is my my office and it's uh   i've got a light balanced on my cr-30 so  you can see me that's amazing so what is   this machine this this here this is the project  r3d daedalus and i know on stream we we talked   about different ways whether it was daedalus or  dallas or it's the daedalus it is a large format   core xy fully built 3d printer that i believe  is 300 by 300 by 345. i think those are the   dimensions i bought this because i wanted  a large core xy machine i didn't want to   have to build it myself yet don't worry i've got  plans to build one myself and i wanted to support   a good person and a good company joe at project  r3d he's he's been a really good supporter of the   channel um i would consider him to be a good dude  but also he's building something really awesome   here when i bought this i i talked about it i  told him some of the issues i had and he's putting   together documentation but what's great is when i  got this out of the box on that stream he said any   of the ones that were purchased during the stream  he would give 300 to seattle children's hospital   so ended up buying one so they got a 300 donation  which is incredible plus when i did that really   big massive giveaway he donated one of these as a  prize it's awesome so this is a machine i bought   all all opinions are my own uh and i can tell  you right now it's been a good machine to play   with and if you're ever interested there's a link  in the description you can go to project r3d and   check it out yourself so before the tiny speaker  before the big bender i started with this it's a   a bowl and it's got some issues it's stringy  and the layers are inconsistent this was one of   the first prints i did with the machine and i used  default settings it was sliced in prusa slicer and   it was uh printing way way way too fast i printed  this in prusa slicer using the defaults which were   really really fast and while it can produce  prints at that speed the problem is you   still have to tune it for each material and so it  looks like this it can still hold stuff obviously   it's got holes in it so it's not going to hold  water but it's a dish and i put my keys and my   my bits in it from from 3d printing and it's been  it's been useful so even though it's not perfect i   did want to show off that not every print off this  machine comes perfect and you do have to take your   time and so this as being a first print while it  doesn't look perfect it still serves a purpose and   i'm really glad i still have it it's prusa slicer  in atomic dark cherry red and it's 0.15 millimeter   layer height it's 209 c on the nozzle and 60c  on the bed so why don't we talk about this big   bender right here i am a huge futurama fan and  bender is one of my favorite characters shut up   baby i knew it i met the voice actor for bender  john dimaggio and he's a legit good dude but he   he did the voice for me uh when i met him so  that was a lot of fun but this is in atomic pla   deep black pla deep black prusa slicer was  the slicer for this 0.15 millimeter layer   height 200 scale 215c on the nozzle and 60c  on the bed and it came out beautiful one of   the things that i want to show you is that it is  consistent right here from the feet and the legs   but also also have a look at the pattern so this  this fur coat that bender is wearing just has   this texture to it and it feels amazing it's  incredible like i'll do my best to cut try to   convey what it's like but i mean at the same time  if you have a 3d printer printing something with   this texture will just blow your mind because it  doesn't feel like a printed piece at that point   i really really love this model and uh 200 scale  seem to be perfect it makes sense uh some of the   other models from this creator for futurama they  just look weird in 3d vendors seem to look okay   and so that's why i printed them out i sent this  out on twitter this is a mythic mug and this is   printed in the strong hero 3d metal x sparkling  this was sliced in prusa's slicer it's 0.15   millimeter layer height it's 209c on the nozzle  and 60c on the bed and this was using slightly   modified defaults i slowed the print speed down  just slightly for this but for this to come out   this good especially with how little configuration  i had to do it really blows my mind it's not that   it's an incredibly tough model to print but for  it to look exceptionally good you have to have   very consistent extrusion all the way through plus  right here this part this part right here it looks   great it's that perfect angle of of of geometry  that allows the printer to print it and not have   to suffer from any problems with an overhang it's  a beautiful model i mean even look at the bottom   this is what i use the pei sheet bottom looks good  too but for this it's it's incredible it'll hold   a can of coke or something like that i'm really  really happy with the way it turned out like this   is this is one of those things i thought about  printing it out and and putting some some gold   on it or spraying it with a metallic or something  like that but i love the look of this filament and   the way that the colors sort of broke right here  and i'm just really really really happy with this   print next i tried some vase mode prints and this  is a modern take on the christmas tree i believe   it was by herblinks this is filament 1 glint pla  and this is some really really old polyalchemy   emerald city elixir so this was in spiral mode  and i sliced this in idea maker i created an idea   maker profile for this machine because i wanted  to see what the slicing engine could do and it did   did a really good job 0.2 millimeter layers 209c  on the nozzle 60c on the bed uh this one this   one looks perfect like it's absolutely perfect you  pick it up you look at it you're turning it around   and you're just looking at perf the perfection  of a print i'm really really astonished at how   good this looks especially the tip and so part of  tuning that profile was to slow down the printer   when the layers were small so said it's like a  a minimal layer time i think that helped with   creating that point and that point is just perfect  just perfect this one the material is old and it's it's interesting the holly alchemy elixir  material is just really interesting to print   with so it's i don't have terribly  good layer bonding with this material   and when trying to get it off  the build plate it's kind of   kind of split right there and that's no good you  also see some inconsistencies kind of bright under   here where the model is and uh i mean it's okay as  far as a christmas decoration goes it's wonderful   it's a green tree so it worked just fine but going  by the technicality of the print it's not as good   as this one and it could be because the material  is older it could also be because this requires   different settings which i don't  think it does but anyway i have trees   one of the things i do want to talk about are  the upgrades that have been done to this machine   one is that it had a pei over  aluminum for a bed this now has   a magnetic bed so it is flexible um and it  was flexible and i was using it was flexible   it was flexible steel with  pei on top kind of looks like looked like this but then wham bam sent over  one of these this is a powder coated pei sheet   and i've been running this ever since this  has really good adhesion and so i just kind   of slap it in make sure it's aligned and i'm  good to go the other upgrade that happened was   the blower and the fan shroud so originally  this is what the machine came with and it's   okay it's okay but it's a single fan mounted  to this side and it's trying to get air   around to most sides of the nozzle it can't do  it as effectively as other systems do and to be   honest with a machine like this you're built to  print pretty quick so you have to have incredibly   optimal cooling in order to lay down that filament  and cool it off once it's laid down this wasn't   doing the trick and it's evident in that clock  spring dice dozer model that i showed off not so   long ago uh it's also it's also evident in these  and so i now have an upgraded one uh project r3d   and they're sending this to every daedalus  owner project r3d now has a dual fan design   for the shroud and it's incredible the way that  it models the air under the nozzle it's just it's   perfectly pinpointed it's almost like a tornado  under there it's hard to visualize i mean i can   show it to you and it looks cool but you know  the proof is in the pudding right so what i did   is this is one that i initially printed this is  one that was printed with this fan shroud and   this is atomic filament it's 0.15 millimeters it's  you know 215c on the nozzle 60c on the bed it's   it's two perimeters 10 percent in fill it's  just defaults right but you do see some issues   along the sword and along the hilt and underneath  the elbow right there the problem is the machine   when printing this has to be slowed down  considerably or have enough air blowing on it in   order to cool down that filament so what i did is  i ran the same g-code after swapping out the fan   shroud and adding that second fan and sure enough  it is better it's not perfect by any means because   again if i wanted to print this perfect i would  have to slow down the print just a little bit just   for some of the minor things but if you look the  sword is better it's not nearly as bad on the hilt   and the elbow looks pretty fantastic so i know  that i have a better functioning machine now   which means i could do some really cool stuff i  remember sending this out on twitter and these   are calibration cubes nothing really exciting  but to be honest i was trying to get x y and z   dimensionality correct and these were close but  adjusting the filament extrusion multiplier i was   able to get these down to 20 millimeters across x  y and z and i measured that i showed it on twitter   and yes that my my calipers that i have here  only go down to tenths and they don't go down   to hundredths but at the same time that's  pretty good if i'm accurate to within tents   for a 3d print i'm pretty excited about that and  so i keep these around just just to remind me of   what i was able to do i think it's time we talk  about this so the 3d printed speaker project is   something that i've been trying to get done and so  far you've seen these pieces we've seen the bottom   piece the first one was printed on the big printer  in the garage and then the second one on the gmax2   these pieces right here these were both printed  on the craftbot flow idex xl's at the studio   and this piece the face was printed on the big  printer in the garage the last piece of the puzzle   is this thing this is the cap and the cap rests  up here and kind of holds everything together   i believe it'll there we go so there's this  piece the cap holds the the top of the face on   and um it's so tiny i might have to drill holes  kind of set there we go so it just kind of it kind   of holds it together like that so the last piece  of the puzzle was the cap and so what i did i used   some filament one and it's their glint pla and it  is green and i printed the caps these are at 0.15   millimeters these were sliced in prusa  slicer and these are 215c on the nozzle 60c   on the bed i actually used defaults for the  speed because it wasn't complex geometry   but i want you i want you to take a look  at these look at that surface finish this   these look fantastic uh the bottoms this was  bridging this this right here is bridging and   it did a good job with it so i'm really really  happy with it and with these pieces it means that   everything that needs to be 3d printed is done  for the really big speaker project that we're   3d printing so next it's to get all the  electronics together and get the drivers   installed hook it up to a sound system  and hopefully play from sweet sweet music oh and one more thing one more thing  i've been teasing something on twitter   can you i can almost fit the whole  thing in the frame almost let's see   so this was printed on the cr-30 no not the dead  list this was printed the cr-30 and it's part of   a large light holder this is like six or seven  hundred percent scale you know it's large um but   one of the things that i talked about was being  able to take the support off while i was actually   printing let's see if i can't get some of it  off here so i'll get the rest of the support out   another time because uh what i want to show you is  this this was printed on my daedalus and this is a   cap it's not the best there are some problems  i printed this at 0.3 millimeter layer height   and i hadn't really configured that i hadn't  really got that going as well it's got some   bumps where it does uh layer changes so i think i  need to play with my retraction settings a little   bit but these threads are supposed to match up  with this and so why don't we see if it works yeah now i just have to print another one of these  and another one of these but it looks like i will   have a way of holding up a light in a really  really cool way this is exciting well listen   if you made it this far you're awesome i really  appreciate it i'm excited about what i've printed   on this thing and if you have any suggestions for  other prints to use obviously leave those in the   comments down below don't forget to hug each other  more be aggressively kind and as always high five
