printing 3d scanned vase in Red PLA on Orca nr.1 with 1.75mm filament and .35 nozzle

[sarveshk09]

Are you using Makerbot extruder with orca?

[BABarracus6]

where is what is great about this you can make a mold and make clay replicas and such

I awkward moment when you realized you've somehow gotten lost in Youtube land and no one speaks English anymore.

Wow! Is this machine creating a 3D plastic vase from a drawing of a vase? Or is it copying a replica of an existing 3 dimensional vase?

Can this be used to make plastic models of people?

[Ginogizio]

Hi, I'm an industrial designer, and pretty well expertice about 3D modelling software, particularly Rhyno 3D and 3D studio. I saw your amazin machine, and I would like to built one by my self, would you please help me to find the right way from where to start? What I found particularly impressive is the injector, it is great!!!, thank you very much, by the way I could send to you some 3D files if you need, as changing for you favor.

Hug.

is that the darwin model?

I can see this can print overhanging plastic. How much overhang is it capable of printing. Can go as far as a full 90 degrees. Like say if you had a rod or handle that stuck straight out of the side of the vase for example.

[cyborg527]

@FPEvideos probably not

[Idiomatick]

@FPEvideos Yes but .. that has limitations as well... to do a vase handle like that I would suggest using support material underneath. There is code to add it automatically. after it is done printing you can just pop it off.

compete with the reprap mondo in print size with this accuracy and you have a new customer x 10000

[VanberloSKI]

@jammapcb reprap mondo? Ive just looked at it and you are not serious i hope..?

I dont see any stifness for X direction, so that can only print at probably 10mm/s or else it breaks apart.

and orca is easy to scale, but i rather have more printers then larger printers, like a year ago i wanted to build the reprap apollo project, but im coming back from that. larger belts give more issues, less stiffness etc.

[jammapcb]

@VanberloSKI is there a way to use aluminium frames instead... then the guts working off that.. it would be very stable.. 40mm aluminium frames are excellent and not to expensive.

[jammapcb]

@VanberloSKI ok thanks for the advice... your unit vs say the rapman... how do they compete quality wise

[jammapcb]

nice quality shame about the size of the print bed... do that and this unit will rule! simply the best out of all the reprap clones!

[VanberloSKI]

@jammapcb what is the problem with the size of the printbed?

Orca v0.2 uses same bed size as mendel.. and that is big enough in my opinion. Also Orca has a higher Z then mendel with same hotend.. so actually Orca can print bigger.

[jammapcb]

@VanberloSKI what speed does this unit produce! thanks... still trying to make my mind up over a rapman vs orca vs ultimaker(expensive but really fast) vs bfb 3000 vs emaker huxley (superb accuracy) ... choices choices!

[mercurytoxic]

@jammapcb Thanks for the list, I am in the process of choosing a one too, I did some research and based on price there's no much comparison all the other ones you listed cost at least double if not more. Rapman €900.00, Orca €569.00, Ultimaker €1,194.00, BFB-3000 €2,261, emaker huxley ???

Have you decided yet?

[jammapcb]

@mercurytoxic yeah went for the BFB3000 the end result is superb.. more commercial grade!

[jammapcb]

@mercurytoxic the bfb 3000 is the dual head one.. its ideal for separate plastics / one abs the other PLA or combo colours in many different types of plastics... the speed is not the best.. but then the accuracy is very good... yeah the emaker huxley has superb quality but the size of the print bed is of no use to myself.. overall print size / quality / accuracy /features I would say the bfb3000 is the best one but then its also the most expensive.. industrial components are used though.

Smooooth!

I want one!
