  • hello i want to build one of these diy 3d printers. i have everything working and i have the board and every thing installed but i dont know how to fill the ink cartridge with the water putty can you tell me how to fill it or where they would fill it for me

  • @117boonmoo The Water Putty is part of the 50/50 powder mix. The ink cartridge in the video has regular HP ink in it. It also works if you use plain water in the ink cartridge. You get the water in the cartridge using the normal ink refill techniques that can be found on the web. Just use water instead of ink.

  • how much did that thing cost?

  • @flawlessShinx I got the printer free off of craigslist. The powder was about $15 for 1 lb.

  • Interesting, and thanks for sharing. Why is the ultimate objective and what you are trying to achieve? Application wise?

  • @badngoodcomments I was experimenting with different materials to determine if I could come up with something that worked well enough to justify making a more elaborate setup. I was not thrilled with the results so I moved on to other projects. Other people have since done better than me but I have lost interest for now.

  • Not the most time effective but you can't deny that it printed in 3D. Well done. Hell with enough time you could make a speaker box... Or a toothpick

  • Anyone asking 'why did you do this' wouldn't understand the answer anyway lol

  • ignore the haters this was really clever and well done.

  • lame.the dumbest shit ive seen on here
