Print your own flute

[iRouRoui]

Can it print a super computer to run crysis ?

[nilla003]

The 'hard to create' instrument looked like a Dr. Seuss creation!

[syrcharlesdanielroun]

It squirts out plastic.. lol died right here



[SlipAllCityToy]

Once you can 3d print a 3d printer SHIT GETS INCEPTION.

[elitexero]

@SlipAllCityToy You can, the printer is called the RepRap and every part for it (aside from the electronic components) can be 3D printed with another RepRap

[darris321]

@SlipAllCityToy then shit already got inception lol

look up reprap its an open source self-replicating 3d printer

[SlipAllCityToy]

@darris321

Reprap can't completely print itself out, just the plastic parts, you know :/

[darris321]

@SlipAllCityToy yeah, but like 90% of it is plastic lol

[SlipAllCityToy]

@darris321

Yeah, but if you print out the 90% of it it's just a useless piece of plastic...

[cozmoz365]

@SlipAllCityToy Read up on RepRap.

[SlipAllCityToy]

@cozmoz365

fffuuu... it can only print the plastic parts, so you only have a bunch of plastic..

I'm talking about seriously 3d printing a 3d printer..

[HyperactiveHandfull]

Still looks a bit clumsy compared to the real thing. Instrument players are very picky about their instruments. 3d printing looks amazing, but there is still progress that needs to be made to make this ready for more applications.

[gamesDAMNED]

@HyperactiveHandfull Haha haha...Isn't this just like that famous Louis CK rant on Conan? We just discovered this amazing, God-like technology only five minutes ago. We're already making complaints. We just built a printer that makes solid 3D objects. Seriously, this is mind-blowing stuff, Star Trek sci-fi that should be centuries away. Hah, that's funny. It's already not good enough. :P

[warrkrymez]

@gamesDAMNED hey, suck a bag of dicks.

[adisharr]

@warrkrymez Like one at a time or..?

[BABarracus6]

one time a band camp the girl printed an .....

[watzupdawg]

I want a 4D printer .... 3D is so 2010.

[MisterBech]

Nicely done. Great sound, but no high notes, can it do them?

[shortymcshrimp28]

You can print with metals too...might get an even clearer sound that way. These things are accurate within 40 microns, can have moving parts, and are completely recyclable. Welcome to the future.

[MyFamilyGuyLover]

fuckin genius

[platinumfrost]

Finally! i can make my own Jing Tinglers, Flu Floopers, Tar Tinkers. Dr. Suess band anyone!

[leo5208]

There's a "How It's Made" video about 3D metal printing. Couldn't this be used to make just the tube (silver, gold, etc.) with the tone holes and collars already formed? That way there'd be no need for drawn or soldered tone holes!

[toniaraujorocha]

Supernatural or aliens...

[Lichman12]

But will it blend!?

[HenriquePBD]

The sound is not the same, obviously!

[starspangled321]

This is amazing! But I wonder really why they chose to make a flute when they don't have anyone in the team who can actually play it.

[RCllamadude]

SHE SOUNDS LIKE A HIGH COMPUTER!!!!!

[BinaryXioms]

Download link?

[pajamash]

HOLY SHIT WOMAN STOP TALKING IN THAT DRONING FUCKING TONE GODDAMN

[IntrepidMoocher]

Sounds out of tune.

[WolfySnackrib666]

Whoa he looks like Michael Kelly.

[InweTaralom]

Doesn't sound that great.

[JugglingJona]

i hate your voice

[1moeser]

i would print a woman

[madgrinchhatter]

I want one of those crazy horn things from the end

[dleesnuts]

it *does not* sound like a typical flute

[echervey]

I play the tuba :D

[lamp007]

....I'd make a 3D Car

[mabvsfd]

Dr. Seuss instruments ftw!

[LP2LP2]

XD CAN YOU PRINT A HOUSE ??? XD

[dumbdumblittlegirl]

Imagine how many kids could play interments that can not afford them! This is amazing!

[mikeb1444]

Neat... They should print up a tenor sax, hone what needs to be honed, and call it a day. I hear the precision is about .1mm, so that's pretty good! That's a visit to a handful of honing parts and trimmings, and that's it. So neat.. If only it could print single crystal 440C stainless!

[Xaisede]

The great-grandfather of replicators?

[jakbruce2008]

because the news does not show much that matters. Only what makes them more money.

[almostnearlyevil]

@jakbruce2008 Were you expecting news on something like international politics from newscientist?

[mittfh]

If they could add dyes to the printer - DIY Lego blocks :D The number of times when I was building something as a child and could have done with an extra piece or two of a certain type - combine with a 3D scanner so you could scan in the block you want duplicates of, then print out extra copies :D

[tokenmowgli14]

I would print an MP5 S.M.G and visit Justin Bieber with it

[RainbowManification]

mind officially blown.

[MapleConquer]

plastic or metal. flute is flute. I would be amazed if this was made of paper -.-

[BonoEtMalo]

"...that sounds just like a metal one."

They have clearly never heard a flute.

[IAmSuchANerdLol]

THAT HORN. I WANT THAT HORN.

[Skatesfy]

hmmmmm, if i could borrow a 3d printer, then i could print a 3d printer with the 3d printer then i could use my 3d printer to make more 3d printers........ printception

[razerdave]

@Skatesfy

If you can use Google skecthup or any other CAD program, you can get your designs made my a company called Shapeways. I've had a few things made by them, good stuff :).

[Adman234videos]

@Skatesfy Google search "reprap project"

[PeedroPaula]

@Skatesfy Yo Dawg, I heard you like 3D printers, so we put a 3D printer in your 3D printer so you can print 3D while you 3D print.

[magicstix0r]

@PeedroPaula 70% of the parts in a 3D printer can be printed by another 3D printer...

[abxvistro]

@Skatesfy

Man I was thinking the exact same thing! I was looking for a video with a mechanical print to post the same comment

[USGiorgi]

@Skatesfy

Nice of you to join us Mr. Xzibit. 

[Vaysm]

@Skatesfy You could only make a 3D printer smaller than the first. Unless you printed out the parts to manually construct your own.

[truffleshuffl]

@Skatesfy they've done that now i wrote an article on it couple weeks ago a printer that can print every part of itself piece by piece lol

[evilmeerkat007]

@Skatesfy reprap

[TeamSc00t]

@Skatesfy yo dawg I heard you like 3d printers.

[jajsemcech]

@Skatesfy and eventually get infinitelly small 3d printer

[AmberMarieization]

@Skatesfy Yo, dawg, I heard you like 3d printers...

[fredpallesen]

@Skatesfy google RepRap - this printer can print most of its parts

[beowulf500ad]

@Skatesfy the RepRap project is actually working on a 3D printer capable of doing that.

[martinpharrison]

@Skatesfy Yo dawg I heard you like 3D printers so we put a 3D printer in your 3D printer so you can print while you print.

[mibars]

@Skatesfy Sounds like RepRap :)

[markpasky08]

@Skatesfy RepRap is what you're looking for....you think someone hasn't thought of that! ROFL

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

@Skatesfy Only problem with that is that it prints in plastic, and you can't use a 3d printer made out of plastic to work with plastic.

[Xuzial]

@AreThereNoMoreNames they have metal printers. But if you can afford one of those, I don't think you would worry about printing flutes or more plastic printers.

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

@Xuzial Well, it'd still have to print quite a few different materials, I can imagine a PCB or electrical components would be pretty difficult.

[purkie103]

@Skatesfy You say like like a joke but there is a group of developers who are trying to make an open source 3d printer that once you buy one can be used to print the parts to build more, there trying to find a way to print circuits using it once that happens your joke will exist

[gaminginpublic]

@purkie103 Makerbot dude.. it exists already. Under 2,000$

[Ace121411]

@Skatesfy Printception

[kimala1977]

@Skatesfy actually this is the aim of reprap open printer :-)

[NDusk]

@Skatesfy This is the whole concept behind RepRap

[johnathanschwartz]

@Skatesfy I knew a guy in a high school engineering class who actually did that, he made most of the parts he could using the school's 3d printer. Some parts can't be made with the printer though, as they would just melt.

[AnarchyRealmz]

@Skatesfy The heads and supports usually cant be made by 3d printers you usually have to buy them separate.

Mean while over at DARPA they have alchemy machines and suppress them :/

[RusRPGamer]

Is that safe to touch with your lips this pure chemistry?

[avatarelite]

@RusRPGamer it's plastic...I'm pretty sure you have had plastic touching your mouth before.

[psychoticdemon17]

MY FUCKING MIND!!!! AND I'M ONLY AT 0:32

[TogetherinParis]

It's awful. If you're really interested in doing something to help improve modern musical instruments, talk to Haynes or Powell in Boston. Also let them pad your contraption for you.

[DarkCraft41]

@TogetherinParis I don't really think the point is to 'improve' them so much as make them affordable. I know a few universities a while back had studies about using 3D printers to make more affordable musical instruments that still sounded okay-ish to decent out of just a few dollars of plastic, thus getting more instruments in kids hands and helping music programs stay up in many public schools by lower costs.

[braincrisp1]

Hmm...let's see...today I'm gonna print out a jet ski, followed by a motorcyle, then a new mountain bike...then a boat...then...

[cormaccrawley]

Downloading music is illegal!

[WackoJackoLmfao]

OMG, A PRINTER ACTULLY DID THIS? WHY AM I NOT SEEING THIS ON THE FKING NEWS?

[b6r6]

@WackoJackoLmfao welll u need to read the news to find out.. hahaaahaha kidding

[PeedroPaula]

@WackoJackoLmfao I saw a report on CNN several months ago. They printed a pipe wrench while talking about how useful 3D printing could be in space exploration since astronauts could manufacture tools as needed.

[USGiorgi]

@WackoJackoLmfao

3D printers have been out there for years. Within 10 years, they will be reasonably priced and you can have one in your home :)

[trumpetblast]

@WackoJackoLmfao - You're obviously watching the wrong news.....

It's been EVERYWHERE the last couple of years. They're even printing CARS now :-)

[tayjacsmith]

@trumpetblast bull "they" are not, to do that you would need a printer that was at least ten times the largest one in production now and it would be very impractical as the material nedded would be hundreds upon thousands of dollars

[creekrocker]

@WackoJackoLmfao because there concerned with random non helpful stuff :P

[TheOriginalEntz]

@WackoJackoLmfao because the news is 90% corporate news releases and gov propaganda. And they certainly don't want you to be a creator instead of a consumer.

[EgaoNoGenki]

@WackoJackoLmfao The instrument consortiums paid them to keep quiet. Conspiracy may be the realm of oil companies, but for musical instrument-makers, this is a first.

[Savantix]

@WackoJackoLmfao Because you need to hear about "canidates" and "famous people". Thats more important.

[mibars]

@WackoJackoLmfao Because it's EXPENSIVE and quality is still an issue

[kOr3uPt]

this one time... at band camp

[ClemensVideo]

orschlächer!!

[CVRealMan]

now all i need is a $25,000 printer and i can make a decent plastic printer! its a steal!

[shedokan]

@CVRealMan Check our RepRap(around $1000) or fac@home(about $1700), they are both cheap, well compared to this 25 times cheaper

[leftiheat]

Was that thing from Doctor Seuss?

[rabbitsib]

yet another out of date info

[techsta72]

this printers are the future, print me a ferrari plz.

[drakenbakken]

arg thought it was paper, so the hell what theres been plastic instruments for quite a long time <.< 

[04Ammy04]

I can afford plastic!

[MrJohn1966elliott]

Paper Flute is cheaper than Real Flute

[aurarus]

What the fuck?

Isn't this how they made flutes before? You know, for schools through factories?

I was really expecting somethign awesome, like a flute made of paper.

[Deviantial]

Used to make 'novel' instruments? That would be hard to create otherwise?

How about to create REAL frickin' instruments to get people interested in different kinds. Imagine just printing off a flute instead of having to buy one? Don't like it? Cool, you didn't just spend hundreds of dollars on it. Like it? Cool, go buy the real thing for better sound.

[xBonderx]

theyve been talking about this stuff for a long time, and yea, it is the future, whenver you need a piece of simple hardware, you dont go to the store, you just download it

[DeimosSaturn]

print me some angelina jolie android sex slaves

[nickhashair]

lol soon people will be able to download instruments and print them out at home.

SCI FI!

[Paxmax]

dammit, the machine at work can't spray that big objects!

[clanOT]

is this actually the best way to make a plastic flute? or are non 3d printing techniques still better?

[YuneShik]

thought it was printing it out on paper!!! dammit

[Tressco]

Finally I'll get my didgeridrum!

[NicosMind]

Star Trek replicators anyone?

[TheStockwell]

@NicosMind The BBC reported there's already a prototype "food printer" that instructs large ingredient-filled tubes to extrude and combine the ingredients to your specifications and taste. They can do muffins, sure, but "printable turkey" is just around the corner.

[NicosMind]

@TheStockwell Im not even sure about muffins... That makes me think of tubes filled with rice etc.... And just buying ingredient tubes when you run out.... I dont know itll have to be a really good machine to replace cooking

[TheStockwell]

@NicosMind Agreed. People like to cook. I do, anyway. Printing useful objects? Fine, but probably not at home. Replacing huge manufacturing complexes with "neighborhood smithy-style" production sounds more likely. And the flute can be shredded to make other things. You can't play a flute so how bout we make you some nice dinnerware instead?

[Charlymaumushi]

Print me some guitar strings

[dylanlawless1]

That doesn't sound anything like a real flute. Great work of course, but come on monotones voice lady, don't insult us

[jdh501]

That thing at the end looks like that Whoville thing from from Dr Seuss. What's it called again?

[DeagleBeagle]

lol I never heard of them making something out of plastic being called printing, it is always with ink onto paper.

[liadon666]

well , will you call a laser toner an ink when it is just powder ??

but they call it printing...

same here ; this time it is plastic powder...

But if the machine haven't changed role (it is always a printer in the inside..somewhat..) then we should still call it printer :) got it ?

Should we change name to "cars" when they will spit out water than carbon monoxide ? I don't think so...

[littlestworkshop]

They sort of missed the point I think. That printer, apart from having very high resolution can print in multiple materials of differing hardness so was able to print the soft seals at the same time as the hard body etc.

[GunitForLyfe]

epic

[volound]

fuck musical instruments. im making anti-matieriel rifles.

[GreekBeast02]

Maybe we could print organs and cure cancer with them :O

[malibubob311]

ummmm....3d printing has been around for a LONG time. its not really "new science" at this point

[roidroid]

@malibubob311 It's rarely used for functional objects though. It's mostly just used for prototyping objects that will be later produced using traditional (ie: not 3d printing) mass production.

So it's good to see use of 3d printers, as something other than just a rapid prototyper for another process.

Abiet, it would have been better if the video actually showed the new theoretical instrument made, that's a shame.

[fegolem]

This one time, at band camp,.....

... and I broke my flute so I just printed a new one.

[kazimann]

I play with my flute everyday. 

[ClemensVideo]

@kazimann na und du trottel host jo ka leben!

[EmoKidNotReally]

@kazimann guys i dont think he ment it in anyway like that

[intheshitter]

Why cant you cunts shut the fuck up. This nigga PRINTED OUT A FUCKING FLUTE!

[ClemensVideo]

@intheshitter wos is a flutn du trottl!

[Jake1722]

keep it metal,

[pastordisastor]

Lmfao :) the highlight of my youtube experience is going to some newscientist video and seeing "smart" people trolled by the cancer post.

Lighten up people

[roidroid]

@pastordisastor you're so smart... with your hindsight

[Bobbiethejean]

Imagine the implications for art!

[RDJim]

Hey it's a Dr. Seuss horn!

[alexdomeco]

The initial notes remembered me of "The Godfather"

[ttobyg]

0:25 "it squirts out plastic"

[djsuperstar717]

3D printers arent anything new....

[z3253304]

oh my god a plastic flute...

[Jourei91]

And soon, I can finally fetch my car from the pirate bay..

[z3253304]

@Jourei91 na man, that shit is like 600 TB

[intheshitter]

@Jourei91 Imagine printing out some sick rims or an awesome body kit lol.

[davisgreen2020]

Another victory for Science and Technology !! I want a soprano saxophone printed out !

[Neamento]

One of the best inventions to hit modern science. No sarcasm intended.

[Craydon]

How much does 3d printing cost?

[liadon666]

from 1400 bucks and above ;)

[Craydon]

@liadon666 Geeze, for that much I can get a compucarve and make it myself out of wood!

[liadon666]

@Craydon

OH , you will...... :P

Let me know when it happens :P

A "compucarve" , better known as CNC machine , starts from 400$ ...

Go buy a flute....it's cheaper than any cheaper hypothesis....

HOWEVER, a real calc should take into account the possibility to be able to make MORE PIECES out of one cartridge of plastic powder ; this means that by selling your 3d printed jobs you'll be able to compensate the cost of such machines... got it ?

It's called COMMERCE.

Also,check YAMAHA YFL211 price

[liadon666]

it is around 600 bucks...and it isn't even one of the best out there....

Make it out of plastic , sell it for 1/6 of the price and you'll be rich... trust me...

[Craydon]

@liadon666 I don't want to make a flute.

[liadon666]

@Craydon

Who said so ?

Make whatever you wish...

[somegeezer1992]

It sounds nothing like a metal flute. Closer to a wooden one, but still, it has a tone of plastic most.

[liadon666]

air is air , form is form , sure resonance got a role...but that's MINIMUM...

so...your statement is wrong...

We're involved in AERODYNAMICS here...

[somegeezer1992]

@liadon666 Uh huh. Whatever you're on about mate. Have fun with that.

[dylan1621]

This doesn't even sound close, what are they talking about?

[liadon666]

same comment for the same wrong opinion:

air is air , form is form , sure resonance got a role...but that's MINIMUM...

so...your statement is wrong...

We're involved in AERODYNAMICS here...
