HydraRaptor makes its first RepRap part

[razormusik]

Someone call Aphex Twin!

So generally, does this take longer than powder extrusion? It seems as if it should, though I'm not entirely sure. I'm sorry if I sound stupid, I'm an enthusiatic but new recruit to the 3d printing world. :-D

[cheezpuff86]

I'll bet Daft Punk would like to have sex with this thing xD.

[patch6]

Those printing noises are catchy.

[EasternCalifornia]

I need a new bong, will you print me one?

[fuunguus]

@EasternCalifornia

Heheh, that's just what I wanted this machine for! Think about all those wicked bongs and pipes you could make ;)

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

@fuunguus

C'mon, it that the best use of this machine?! (though it certainly could do it)

Why on Earth would you do that!?!?

You need to think BIGGER, like making a machine that makes bongs.

(Just kidding, Omniscient Big Brother Google, I believe in other peoples' right to use something no worse than alcohol.)

Cool stepper motor sounds, someone should sample this and make music!

(Or better yet, program it in such a way that it plays songs and it creates musical instruments, at the same time!)

[onthecuttingedge2005]

how much for a working replica?

[chevetain]

No one dare disturb the sound of science :)

[GnosticDjinn]

It prints object in 3D, and it makes music. Cant wait for it took cook a turkey, in the 2010 models.

[gonepishing]

nice build

[odious2000]

I could hook a zx spectrum there and load a game from those noises.

[JamesMRaymond]

Have you tried?

I might just try that...

[Destructor2007]

I fecking lol'd.

[MiKikaIwaShizaru]

@odious2000

I remember those, also called Sinclair computers.

Programs on cassettes that you hoped loaded after a half an hour!

Otherwise start all over again.

[sdfsdf666]

Hehe, it makes really cool noises.

[themightyboooooooooo]

good video. How is it making all those sounds?

[nophead]

The stepper motors are stepped at rates which can be 100's or 1000's of steps per second. That causes them to make tones in the audio range.

The z-axis motor is particularly noisy because it is mounted on a wooden box.

The loudest noise is just the DC gearmotor driving the extruder.

@nophead

it almost makes you go crazy if you listen too long

the band in my high school made music with the sounds it was cool

[changemeahh]

WOW
