What I think about the Bambu Lab H2S After 300 Hours of Testing
The video provides a comprehensive review of the Bambu Lab H2S 3D printer after 300 hours of testing, covering its features, print quality, software, and third-party filament support. The reviewer discusses the printer's performance with various materials, including ABS-GF and PAHT-CF, and shares insights on the AMS (Automated Material System) options and software experience with Bambu Studio and Bambu Handy.
Bambu Lab H2S – The XL Printer Everyone Asked For
The Bambu Lab H2S is a large-format 3D printer that offers a single nozzle system and a slightly larger build volume than the H2D, all at a $800 lower price point. The video compares the H2S to the H2D and showcases its capabilities by printing various models, including a Halo Master Chief helmet and an articulated panda. The reviewer concludes that the H2S is a compelling option for those seeking a big Bambu printer without the need for dual nozzles.
Mastering Multi-Color Epoxy Inlays
The video demonstrates how to create a personalized charcuterie board with a multi-color epoxy inlay using a commercially available board as a starting point. The creator walks through the design process, machining the inlay, and finishing the board with Emmet's Good Stuff, resulting in a customized gift for his sister-in-law. This project is ideal for CNC enthusiasts looking to add a unique touch to off-the-shelf wooden items using epoxy inlays.
Everyone gets this Wrong when 3D Printing Carbon Fiber Nylon
This video tests the performance of PA6 and PA12 carbon fiber nylon filaments, revealing that PA12 is more resistant to moisture and creep than PA6. The host demonstrates that annealing can significantly improve the strength of both materials, but PA12 remains superior in long-term load-bearing applications. The video also highlights the importance of proper drying and storage to prevent moisture-related failures in carbon fiber nylon prints.
STOP Repeating values in Fusion 360! Use CAM Parameters!
This video demonstrates how to use CAM user parameters in Fusion 360 to eliminate repetitive manual updates of values like chamfer offsets and stock to leave. The tutorial covers creating and applying parameter variables, reusing them across CAM setups, and adding custom descriptions for documentation. This technique helps standardize workflows, reduce errors, and save time for both production runs and general CAM operations.
Johnny 5 ASME servo setup for neck hydraulics!
The video demonstrates the setup of an ASME servo system for neck hydraulics on a Johnny 5 robot. It covers the installation and configuration of the servo components, likely including the servo motor, hydraulic pump, and control system. This content would be useful for robotics enthusiasts or engineers working on animatronic projects involving hydraulic neck movements.
Cow Poop Filament is NOT as BAD as you Think!
In this experiment, the creator mixes varying percentages of dried cow dung with PLA pellets, extrudes the blend into filament, and prints test parts to evaluate printability, mechanical strength, and odor. Results show that low-level additions (up to about 10%) produce filament that prints without major issues and retains roughly 80-90% of pure PLA tensile strength with only a mild earthy smell, while higher dung content leads to clogging and poor layer adhesion. This entertaining experiment is relevant to makers interested in sustainable or waste-based filament alternatives.
Johnny 5 electrical gremlins 😡
The video documents the frustrating process of troubleshooting electrical issues with a CNC router named Johnny 5. The creator encounters multiple problems, including a non-functioning Z-axis motor, a blown fuse, and a malfunctioning spindle. After extensive testing and component swapping, the issues are resolved by replacing a faulty Z-axis driver and fixing a wiring problem with the spindle. The video serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of thorough testing and the potential for multiple issues to compound each other in complex electrical systems.
5-Axis Machining a Johnny-5 Finger on the Haas UMC-350 + Fusion 360 Tips!
This video demonstrates machining a Johnny-5 robot finger using a Haas UMC-350 5-axis CNC machine and Fusion 360 software. The creator showcases Fusion's Automated Modeling feature to streamline the 5-axis CAM workflow and control toolpath and stock near the vise, along with 5-axis toolpaths, CAM strategies, and workholding techniques. This content would be valuable for CNC machinists and hobbyists interested in 5-axis machining and Fusion 360 workflows.
Johnny 5 fingers are working!
The video demonstrates the successful operation of Johnny 5's fingers, showcasing their ability to grasp and manipulate objects. The creator tests the fingers' dexterity by having them pick up various items, highlighting the impressive functionality of this robotic hand. This content would be of interest to robotics enthusiasts, hobbyists working on animatronic projects, and those curious about advancements in robotic manipulation technology.
