This is what the FibreSeeker 3 can print! #3dprinting #fibreseeker #ad
The FibreSeeker 3 is a personal continuous fiber 3D printer that can produce high-strength parts with embedded carbon fiber reinforcement. The video demonstrates the printer's capabilities by showcasing various printed objects, including functional prototypes and end-use parts that showcase the benefits of continuous fiber reinforcement. This technology would be particularly useful for makers, engineers, and product designers who need to create strong, lightweight parts without the need for industrial-scale equipment.
Checking out the FibreSeeker 3 at Formnext 2025 #3dprinting #carbonfiber #ad
The FibreSeeker 3 is a desktop continuous fiber 3D printer that can print with carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar in a single nozzle. It features a heated chamber, automatic fiber loading, and a 0.4mm nozzle, with a build volume of 200x200x200mm. The printer is available on Kickstarter starting at $2,999, with shipping expected in July 2025.
Bambu Lab H2C vs H2S: Purge Waste Efficiency Test
The video compares purge waste between Bambu Lab's H2C and H2S printers using a multi-color Rubik's cube model. The H2C's Vortek hot end system significantly reduces purge waste for prints with frequent color changes, using only 0.5g compared to the H2S's 6.5g. However, for prints with minimal color changes, both printers perform similarly. The H2C's purge efficiency advantage is most notable for complex multi-color models.
This 3D Printing Trick Actually Works!
The video demonstrates a 3D printing technique for creating angled parts with specific layer line orientations. The creator prints a part balanced on a chamfer with designed support, inspired by a method from Slant3D, to achieve the desired layer direction for a custom CNC router component. The process involves designing custom supports, slicing the model, and removing supports after printing, resulting in a successfully printed part that meets the required specifications.
Will I Regret Buying the Cheapest Tapping Arm I Could Find?
The video reviews a cheap electric tapping arm purchased from Amazon, testing its functionality and exploring the various tap collet standards. The reviewer discovers the machine uses ISO collets, which are not widely available in the US, and experiments with different collet types to find compatible options. After mounting the arm on a welding table and conducting tests, the reviewer concludes that while the machine works, its limitations and the difficulty in sourcing collets make it less practical than a drill press for most users.
Smart Probing in Fusion 360: Log Any Point and Re-Verify After Machining!
This video demonstrates a Fusion 360 probing workflow for CNC mills that allows machinists to log any point on a part and re-verify its position after machining operations. Using a Haas CNC mill with a Renishaw probe, the creator shows how to detect if a part has shifted during cutting due to workholding issues, heat treatment, or aggressive milling. This technique is especially useful for quality verification in setups using vacuum, adhesive, or light clamping.
Stop Printing Flat: The 45° Secret for Stronger Parts
The video explores how 3D print orientation affects strength, surface quality, and printability through tensile testing and practical examples like a vacuum hose adapter. Testing reveals that angled printing at 45 degrees can improve strength for certain parts, but also shows that orientation impacts surface finish and requires careful consideration of supports and printability. The video provides practical guidance on choosing the best print orientation to balance durability, quality, and ease of printing for different applications.
The P2S Is the Upgrade No One Expected – But Everyone Wanted!
This video reviews the Bambu Lab P2S, the long-awaited refresh of the popular P1S 3D printer. The P2S brings several refinements including quick-swap nozzles, a redesigned cooling system, improved lighting, and an HD camera. Through a series of print-quality and speed tests on models like a multicolor Catan set and a 3D Benchy, the reviewer finds modest gains in surface finish and reliability, concluding that the P2S is a worthwhile incremental upgrade rather than a revolutionary leap.
THREADMILLING: For Fun & Profit!
The video demonstrates threadmilling using a lathe internal thread tool, which surprisingly worked well. The creator emphasizes the importance of wear offsets and provides a detailed explanation of the process, including pre-game warmup and setup. This content would be valuable for CNC machinists and hobbyists interested in threadmilling techniques and tool wear management.
A Power Drawbar, Mist Coolant, and Spindle Control for the PM728 CNC
The video covers the installation and testing of three upgrades to the PM728 CNC mill: a spindle interface kit for CNC spindle control, a mist coolant system, and a power drawbar kit from Priest Tools. The presenter demonstrates how to install and configure each system, including wiring the spindle control to the CNC controller, mounting the coolant tank and nozzles, and assembling the power drawbar. After installation, the presenter tests each system, showing the spindle control working through the CNC controller, the mist coolant spraying effectively, and the power drawbar quickly changing tools.
This FREE AI Tool Auto-Generates Gridfinity Bins!
This video introduces ToolTrace.AI, a free AI tool that automatically generates custom Gridfinity bins from a photo of your tools, eliminating the need for CAD skills. The creator tests the tool on his own messy "drawer of shame," successfully creating custom-fit bins for various tools, and shares tips for optimizing the process. The video also covers Gridfinity basics, bin customization options, and how to install the generated bins, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to organize their workspace with custom tool storage.
I Broke My Finger… So I 3D Printed a Custom Splint!
The video documents the creator's process of designing and 3D printing a custom finger splint after breaking their finger. Using Fusion 360, they modeled a splint with a protective bowl tip and chamfered edges for comfort, then printed it in PETG with a PLA interface layer for easy support removal. This 7-8 minute tutorial provides Fusion 360 modeling tips and 3D printing tricks for anyone interested in creating their own custom splint or similar ergonomic 3D printed parts.
