3D Printing

So I have bought a new larger format 3D printer, a Tevo Tornado. Print area is huge 300 X 300 X 400 mm, well this is a huge print area for me anyway. This is just me un-boxing, building and using the printer for the first time. This is my first YouTube video with me talking so I apologize in advance lol. I am blown away with the tornado, worked out of the box, came well packaged and it has produced some really well printed large items with no issues or fails.

The items I am printing as upgrades for the Tornado can be found on Thingiverse with these links:

So hope you enjoy and like I said I apologize for the talking but there may be more videos coming with me talking away on them as there is only so much you can do with text titles.

Time to sort the room for the 3D printers; it’s a mess. No lights, full of rubbish and it’s hard to film in such a small room. I am trying to save money so I am recycling a lot of wood and other stuff that I kept after finishing the shed and the last house, the materials I am buying are either recycled or seconds from a great second-hand builders yard in Whangarei and it’s a lot cheaper and it’s just a room for printers. I am also having some random issues with the LED lights and the shutter speed on the cameras, sometimes it causes stripping / flickering and then others it does not, so sorry for any bits of film that are well rough. I will do some testing once I have time. So now I can set my printers back up and get some prints going, I have a lot I want to do. Hope you enjoy.

So I bought another 3D printer. This is Two Trees Sapphire S Core XY printer. This just means the bed goes up and down and the X and Y axis move. It uses a Lerdge X Control board and the printer comes 75% built with all electronics installed etc. You just need to put the frame together and wire. This is just a time-lapse of me putting it together and showing some test prints I did to see if the settings are OK. So far really impressed with the printer but I messed with the profile I made in Simplify 3D and need to look at it as all my prints are falling now lol.

So I decided I would like to Time-lapse 3D prints but that takes some electronics and some Gcode to make the printer move the print head out of the way so a photo can be taken of the print morphing out of the print bed. So this is a video of me having a go at making a time-lapse rig for my Tevo Tornado printer. I am using a hall sensor and a relay connected to an Arduino Nano to fire the camera shutter. I have had to print some parts write some code and Gcode to make this work but the results at the end are pretty good so I will improve it and do some time lapse prints. Oh I am talking through the whole video sorry lol.

So lock down has given me time to test and print some 3D time-lapse as it can take a while so here are a few of my first tests:
