  • good video. How is it making all those sounds?

  • 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.

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

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

    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

  • 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

  • Those printing noises are catchy.

  • @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.

  • @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!)

  • @EasternCalifornia

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

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

  • how much for a working replica?
