What materials will be supported to print?
If you are not backed with Venture Capital, then where did you get all the money from for your office, R&D, the production for all your prototypes, machines, injection molded parts and so on?
That would be at least 50k-100k USD, I would assume... Money Doesn't Grow on Trees
@@onomatopejaB Nylon 12 and TPU are currently supported. Nylon 11, Glass/carbon filled Nylon 12, and potentially PP are coming in the future
@greenboy3d Have you considered a personal investment? I'm building myself a professional level eVtol with my own resources. And my money didn't grow on trees. I worked for it.
@@flaviovianna4889 Personal investments are what got us to this point, but you need to understand that scaling hardware costs a lot of money.
Keeping a strong eye on this one
EZ bake oven for makers 😂
An apt description!😂
@@pheenix42Ubuntu?
I am liking, subscribed and sharing. I will support your Kickstarter and i intend to be your first uk customer. I pray the software is as good as the hardware and the hardware is better than my expectations. If you dont get it right first time ill continue to support you guys beyond from when you do. Dont give up! Make this happen with everything you got, the community will support you 💪
Was, and still am, very excited by this printer.
However, the Kickstarter aspect means that I'm going to sit back and wait until they're fully shipping at normal production levels. I've been burned on too many crowdfunding projects over the years... the "Minister of Finance" (my wife) would divorce me if I invested in another. 😆
I understand this is a necessity for your company and don't begrudge you for doing this, just that I'm sure I'm not the only one that will be hesitant.
You're correct. You are not the only one who's hesitant. There have been a few things standing out that don't sit right.
As much as I want one, I can't afford to risk that much money on a platform with no guarantee.
@@sparkithepony9895 Yup, I am also going to wait and see how it goes with all the kickstarter backers. Putting it on kickstarter makes it less credible.
Why in the west do wives become ministry of finance
@@Z-add The keeper of the V. 🤣
Hi there! I'm a 70-year-old who's, been following Kickstarter with a lot of interest. It's, amazing to see all these creative ideas come to life, and I applaud the platform for fostering innovation.
However, there's, one thing that worries me: the lack of protection for backers when projects fail to deliver. While I understand the fundamentals of Kickstarter and the inherent risk involved, it feels like there should be a better system in place when creators walk away with our hard-earned money.
Here's what I'd like to see:
Stronger accountability for project creators: Perhaps a system where creators face repercussions for undelivered projects, especially those suspected of fraud.
More transparency in funding: Clearer guidelines on how funds are used, with some form of recourse for backers if misuse is suspected.
I believe these changes would create a safer environment for everyone involved. Kickstarter can still be a platform for innovation, but with some added safeguards, it can be a win-win for creators and backers alike.
Never before have I wanted to buy a cool product, and this is very likely going to be game changing in the additive manufacturing space for regular consumers.
love it guys thanks for making sls more accessible
this looks extremely promising. are you planning metal sintering product in the future? that would be incredible.
Exciting to see Kickstarter being used as intended! 🎉 We went the same route and the freedom of not having VC is 🧑🍳 👌
Fingers crossed everything goes to plan 👏
Im super impressed with this, i highly suspect I'll be a future cuatomer of yours!
I'll wait until I see some impact testing on the final produced parts. The earlier videos showed printed stuff with some major surface defects, cracking, etc.
Top news for 3d printing fans!
This is a new age in manufacturing. 😮
Man... This is totally game changing. The implications of this are bigger than Bambu can imagine.
Eagerly waiting
Hell yeah man, go go go; I'm actively trying to get my boss to pick one up for our shop.
You guys are heroes
So far I am very impressed and hopeful with what you have shared. I would love to hear more about the accuracy and finish of the parts after printing. Will you be sharing any content on this topic soon?
cant wait! I would love to have one! :)
kickstarter mmmmh really jingles my dingleberries
VCs would have probably ruined the spirit of this project. Glad they went for kickstarter.
Have to agree $3k on a kickstarter is more than I want to risk, but I can wait it out to see if this succeeds or fails. Best of luck still, it’ll be pretty sweet if it succeeds.
I wish you good luck and looking forward to buy one) waiting for real world revews
3D printing has finally arrived.
well hope we see you in Europe in some years! Keep on the good work and Good Luck! :)
Because of laser class restrictions or what? I'm out of the loop with this one
@@rayly7291 It will be available worldwide at launch.
@@rayly7291among others, because in EU the electricity is on 220V and the distance may make the delivery way more expensive.
The problem with crowd funding is that the developer can make extraordinary claims, collect a ton of money, and then not fully deliver, or not delivery at all on their promises. Yet they still keep the cash. Let them fund this product from their own cash reserve, and keep the profits afterwards, as opposed to having the public pay for it, and them still keeping the profits. If the technology is there to make this product, at this extraordinary price, then I'm sure there are plenty of other cashed up developers who can make it without resorting to crowd funding.
Amazing
How low of a layerheight is SLS capable of? I'm curious how well this would be to print something like minis for DnD. Not needing supports and more importantly not having to deal with resin would be the dream haha
It can go down to 0.1mm. We have printed a few figurines and they came out very nicely. You can send us a part at www.micronics3d.com/quote to see for yourself 😊😊
Budgeting to buy one
How much detail can you get out of this?
Well I thought it would be for metal so still some plastics. How does this compare to making a FDM part?
I will be purchasing a unit as soon as they are available. One question tho…i want to make tobacco pipes with this, is it safe for smoking accessories?
How is the longevity of the machine and parts
Can you open up printing of test parts to Australian customers? I have a unique part I think this would be great for in tpe/ tpu material and would like to see if it's possible before buying a printer. @micronics3d
Just curious, SLS printer could print solid part, and meshed parts like a hollow football as shown, but how to print a sealed object with partial filling?
You need to add evacuation ports to be able to get the powder out. We recommend 2 holes, 5mm each.
Hi, for example, in that gyroid lattice, what is the smallest wall thickness that can achieve the machine?
0.5mm is absolute minimum but we recommend 0.8mm.
Do you think you could build a printer for metals?
Metal version soon??
Metal version eventually?
So fully dense part is required. With infill you won't be able to get out the trapped powder.
Exciting product. I noticed the label says 120volts, would you also be considering making 240v 50Hz version for international customers?
Yes, please see spec in description
How does it stand with precision and accuracy compared to industrial solutions from eg. EOS or more consumer Formlabs Fuse1+?
About the same.
@@micronics3d How can it handle powders that oxidize? Does it have inert gas control system?
Question about sls in general: if a new, free floating part starts a new layer, then there's going to be a tiny bit of melted plastic sitting on top of a pile of powder. How does the process that deposits new powder on top avoid disturbing that new layer?
As the spherical powder gets fused together, the gaps between particles disappear and it sinks down a little bit so it doesn’t interfere with the recoater.
If this is for real, it'll definitely make waves. It seems there's been an incredible amount of work and $ already put into this. Why kickstarter? Why not just straight to market?
Why use a UPS store for the business address?
Will you send your printers for reviews to CZcamsrs (CNC kitchen, Teaching Tech) before the kickstarter campaign?
You bet
I'm very interested in this.
Do you have an idea about when you'll start your Kickstarter campaign?
Also, will there be an extended warranty? What will post sale tech support be like?
Thank you and I look forward to getting this very cool product.
Kickstarter is coming in June. Replacement parts and service manuals will be readily available and we are happy to help you with any issues. Extended warranty is something we are working on. Cheers!
How high of a resolution can you achieve with this? E.g. how small can a hole diameter be?
1mm is the minimum recommended hole diameter.
I'm seriously interested.. Waiting for the kickstarter to launch but it's £3000 is a lot to gamble on a product launching.
Doesn't kickstarter say that there are no guarantees?
Will it sinter metallic powders?
Unlikely, metal requires much higher temperatures / more powerful laser. But I'm just guessing here :)
Will the slicer run on Linux?
made in usa i love to see it
When and where can I buy one? Will you announce your kickstarter here or on Instagram?
Coming in June on Kickstarter!
I want that. NOW
Link for kickstarter?? I have looked for Micronics and Micron, nothing is coming up!
It's coming soon 😇😇
Thanks, now take my fucking money already!
Is there a Kickstarter campaign?
If only my wallet can handle this level of greatness...😅😅
Something to test out / demo - the ability with even PLA prints to do metal forming. Would be interesting to see the results with these prints, and how thick they need to be to be able to form various gauges of steel / aluminum.
instagram.com/reel/C5tWMYOATZc/
@@micronics3d😮impressive , made a metal forming die.
Can this print miniatures for gaming? How detailed is it?
For sure. It's more detailed than FDM but not as good as SLA. However, you won't have those annoying supports to deal with. You can order a sample at www.micronics3d.com/quote to check it out for yourself :)
The prototype is fully functional? If so that's enough proof for me.
are you making one for the European market??? (with 220v)
Yes
It takes so much to engineer this right, buying a first machine off kickstarter for only $2999 is a hard no. Remember you read this.
How long we must waiting in die EU to buy with the CE certificate?
It will be available in the EU at launch!
@@micronics3dwhat about Australia?
@@Xamy- Yes. If Stripe (the payment method we use) works in your region, we can ship to you.
Here's a question for a video. Can you 3d print a sleeve of bradgun nails and actually use them in a bradgun. Now that would make for a viral youtube short.
i would stand in a line to buy this!
The cost is incredible
I need DIS!
can you print hollow parts
It would be full of sand unless you add a drain hole
Really?! Right infornt my bambulab X1C?
I have always been enamored with 3d printing tech even though I've never owned one. I nearly bought a pretty expensive sls last year because I'm so fascinated by it. Out of the different ways to print, sls just seems the most futuristic and the detail that you can get with it is incredible. Seriously I would be buying it in hopes that I discover my use case for it which makes it a terrible financial decision. But is it wrong that I just _want_ one? Ya know, to play with? I'm 40 years old, surely I can allow myself to have a $3,000 toy, right? Someone talk me down from this ledge. Or push me off it hell idc. If I do this then I know that I'm going to need to buy a 3d scanner as well so I can actually reproduce useful parts with it. Now we're talking multiple machines and I'm going to need to set them up in a room, it's going to be a whole thing. But man it sounds fun
You’ve worked hard for 20 years, what’s wrong with having an expensive hobby?
This prints metal parts, right?
OK cool so price is out. Now I need to know build volume and cost of materials. 👍
How to pre-order?
Coming in June on Kickstarter 😉😉
When is the Kickstarter coming?
June
@@micronics3d will you be shipping to Switzerland? Please say yes
@@JulienStone Yes we will 😇
Will there be an EU version?
Yes 😇😇
I will literally sell a kidney
im curious how miniatures fair in these machines
Quite well because you don't have supports to deal with.
damn... i'll wait after the kickstarter.. thanks for anyone who help funds this on kickstarter, but i'll wait..
you'd better make it dual voltage. just 110v is meh.
Why your company have 2 LLC's registered using Micronics name and your business contact address is a mailbox in a UPS store?
I'm with everyone else.. Why bother with kickstarter?
He probably needs the money
No VC
we all got tricked
I want to believe it s real !
Check out our other videos and order a sample part us on our website 😇😇
Are you doing anything to the video to make it look this futuristic, or is this just how it looks when it's working? I'm so looking forward to this printer! I've only ever printed Nylon via sending it off for printing.
No CGI, no trickery, it's exactly what it looks like while printing.
@@micronics3d I love it!
Wonder how well it would print Warhammer minis lol
You can send us a sample part order on our website and check it out for yourself 😊😊
Ultimate quality, ultimate price
You know other systems for this are easily 10x more right
Love this stuff! Mine is coming in soon!
I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.
EU version?
Yes
@@micronics3d Take my money!
Do you have one ready to do a giveaway for me
Wanna buy your stocks ;-)
hmmm, i got really excited, when i thought this was a cheap, consumer metal 3d printer :(
Aslong it is not a piece of shit like the Sintratec Kit, i will get one sooner or later
The quality of powders' surface evening with this machine does not look encouraging.
Yes Sir. Okey dokey. Understood. Alpha Roger. Solid copy.
Looks like someone ordered themselves test parts! czcams.com/users/shortsKpuKUEhWs1w
It makes me extremely nervous about the product now that I know it is being sold over Kickstarter. Your printer is revolutionary enough to stand on its own and should be sold with warranty from your shop directly - launching it on kickstarter takes a lot of buyer confidence away.
Hope to hear back from you guys regarding this.
I agree with this sentiment too. Printer will sell out day one. No need to split profits with kickstarter.
We aren't VC backed so we are using Kickstarter as it's actually intended.
remember a sls printer kickstarter from 2017...backers still waiting!
Do not send one to The first layer channel.
czcams.com/video/5gx9cEDE4mc/video.htmlsi=EFC7DYqj3dr0r2h7&t=51 is this really a Class 1 laser product? Most lasers at this power I thought were in the 4 category.
It’s a class 4 source inside but there is protective window and door interlock, which means the laser never leaves the machine, making it class 1.
@@micronics3d Interesting, looks like laser classifications got updated. I was familiar with the old system where class I is -5mw and class IV was 500mw+. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety
@@zomie1 It still is, but in the article: "Often, devices such as optical drives will be considered class 1 if they fully contain the beam of a more powerful, higher-class laser, such that no light escapes under normal use."
We designed it to be in compliance with IEC60825:1. No laser goggles or laser safety training is required since the laser never shoots out of the printer.
