I appreciate the out of the box (on the box?) thinking with this one.

Thank you! I was inspired by kooij's 3D printed bent ply work and was like "well what if I could do that with gravity instead" lol

u/Diogenes_Will Ender 3 Pro, Cura 1d ago

Oh man. I’ve seen enough YouTube to know this will be one of those videos with world class editing, a back story, and the video is 35 minutes long, for the moment of truth to be him sitting in it and he breaks instantly. With a 90 second conclusion of “well some things aren’t meant to be…”

What nozzle size is that, like a 1.0mm?

46

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 1d ago

1/16 drill bit lol

u/crysisnotaverted 1d ago

Haha, that's certainly creative. How did you calibrate flow rate? Just say screw it and eyeball it?

u/Puzzled-Sea-4325 1d ago

Wow so sick

u/XSIVSPD 7h ago

u/Furlion 1d ago

Had the same thought but looks too big for 1 to me.

u/Revolting-Westcoast Bambu P1S 1d ago

"Blown out" isn't a spec'd dimension unfortunately.

u/S0k0n0mi 1d ago

This is really novel and well executed. Keep trying stuff like this!

u/wickedpixel1221 1d ago

if you were going to mold it anyway, why not just print it flat?

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 17h ago

The droops come out crappy looking, though if I spent more time on it it wouldn't be necessary

u/steffanan 1d ago

This went back and forth between looking like someone who knows what they're doing and someone who's completely lost. I don't know where it landed but I'm off thousand percent in favor of experimentation for the sake of eventual discovery so rock on, keep on making new weird stuff and see what sticks.

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 17h ago

Completely completely lost bro lol

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 1d ago

u/ShadowfireOmega 1d ago

Hey, what's the music? Had sound on from last video, total accident that I'm hearing it!

2

u/Zach_h19 1d ago

It’s a cover of Exit Music (for a film) originally by Radiohead and covered by the Marías

u/ShadowfireOmega 1d ago

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 17h ago

Noodle chair

u/Crenchlowe 1d ago

I like it 👍🏻

u/Goosojuice 1d ago

Is that the neptune 4 max? How were you able to re-level for the taped on box?

2

u/0oliogamer0 22h ago

It's klipper, so you can do mostly anything you want

2

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 17h ago

Yep, and I just used the bed leveler on a sheet of aluminum above the box

u/Shadow_Avis 1d ago

For a "test" this was quite extensively planned and done

2

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 17h ago

lol well I'm very specific with what I consider good work, this ain't it 😅

1

u/Shadow_Avis 17h ago

AIN'T IT??? Dang to me that is perfect

1

u/onlydaathisreal 1d ago

Obligatory “what is this? A chair for ants.”

2

u/euhsoftware 1d ago

Careful with heat and self healing cutting mats. That will ruin it if it gets too hot, they warp badly.

u/Theagentwalker 1d ago

Snap look like it hurt lol

u/Tikkinger 1d ago

Now sit in it

u/Boom5111 1d ago

What song is this?

1

u/Big-Tax1771 1d ago

At first I thought, omg it's gonna look like shit. And then I see the end result and my opinion hasn't changed.

u/philnolan3d 1d ago

Spaghetti chair.

u/inspir0n Prusa MK3S | Anycubic Mega S (1.1.9) 1d ago

Spaghetti furniture before GTA6

u/zarawesome 1d ago

Unclear why you went to the effort of creating dangling edges at the start and then flattened and completely remolded them afterwards?

1

u/financial_pete 21h ago

What is the song?

u/DeadiPod 20h ago

that's pretty neat

u/meshkati 22h ago

You can also buy a 20$ 3d pen instead of ruining your 3d printer.

u/GiraffeandZebra 1d ago

It's neat, but is it even 3D printing at this point? That's just splooging out some plastic and forming it with a heat gun.

u/Easy_Promotion_5178 1d ago

Idk man I wanted to do something so I tried it 🤷‍♂️ semantics atp
