    Studied food safety of plastic polymers when designing packaging.
    Agree, Most polymers are/ can be food safe BUT are not inert.
    It means most will migrate in the food, usually due to temperature, basicness or acidness of the food.
    The quantity make the poison so most of the time it should be fine.
    But It’s been linked to a multitude of health issues and we currently find more and more examples of plastic bottle and tray that were deemed food safe but are in fact way above limits.
    Polymers used in food are:
    Pet: for bottles
    Pp: for trays
    Pla: liner in cardboards trays

    Some of the early consumer 3D printing companies tried too hard to lock down their ecosystems and trap their customers in a sunk cost fallacy scheme. That's what turned me off MakerBot back in the day; they started to lock down their parts and changed spool designs to lock people into a high-profit consumables scheme. I am glad companies like Prusa and Creality disrupted their business with more open ecosystems. Hopefully, Bambu follows suit and doesn't try to lock down their machines where you can only make their printers work with their own filaments and first-party parts. I manage a 3D printing lab, and I am actively moving away from locked ecosystems in both hardware and software. I would love to opt for a local American product with good support and distribution, but not at the cost of being trapped in a locked-down product, begging them for features and parts.

    A note on Prusa: They are saying they're selling more machines than ever before. Bambu and Creality are definitely most of the consumer market, but I think that it's still a situation of "the entire pie is growing." Definitely makes a lot of sense the consumer machines are eating up the lower end of the industrial market too, as the most recent consumer machines are quite capable.

      @georgestone8099 Před měsícem

      Prusa have been well and truly left behind. They have a decently reliable bed slinger, but Bambu made a better one for 1/3rd the price.. Even if it's 3 times less reliable (it is not), it still makes sense to get them since they're faster.. Also, bed slingers are just old tech and Prusas CoreXY offering is janky bullshit with poor reliability. Prusas main selling point (no outdated) is reliability, so them shedding that with their rushed CoreXY offering, has been a big mistake. If Bambu creates some print farm software, Prusa are dead.

    • @logicalfundy
      @logicalfundy Před měsícem

      @@georgestone8099 I bought the Mk4 because it's reliable, well supported, more open, and doesn't hide log files from the user. Also Bambu was new when I bought it and I wasn't sure how they'd turn out as a business.
      Also - bed slingers aren't as old as you think they are. Darwin, the printer that caught a lot of attention in the early days of 3D printing and started the RepRap movement, was not a bed slinger. Bambu just popularized the idea that bed slingers were dumb, because when they first started Bambu, part of their core philosophy was "no more bed slingers."
      To their credit - CoreXY had its advantages, as a stationary build plate means tall objects can remain relatively stable, and the print head can often be made lighter than the bed.
      That said - I think Bambu's public disdain for bed slingers, more than anything, is what drove the idea that bed slingers are old / outdated.
      Which ended up being some corporate marketing nonsense, because guess what? They eventually made bed slingers. Their claim of "no more bed slingers" rings hollow now, and it does make me trust Bambu a bit less because I can't rely on them to remain faithful to their word.
      It's also interesting that Prusa is actually doing some really neat stuff with color printing, especially when it comes to speed and minimizing waste. I dare say Bambu is falling a bit behind.
      You see - the XL is a tool changer, and with a bit of tuning some users have completely gotten rid of the purge/prime normally associated with color printing. No tower, no poop.
      The MMU3 is also quite fast and less wasteful than the AMS & AMS Lite. Still needs a tower, but no need for poop. It just pulls one color out and pushes the next color in.
      It will be interesting to see what Prusa does in the future. The professional side of Prusa has actually developed a CoreXY that is closer in size to the Mk4 that is being used in their Prusa Pro AFS, and I'm hoping that means they are working on a smaller Core XY.
      Hopefully they can get the price of their printers down a bit as well as they start to use the Prusa Pro AFS in their own print farm. Prusa is a bit overdue for some automation.

  • @richdobbs6595
    @richdobbs6595 Před měsícem +1

    The main problem that I have with 3d printing of parts that are in contact with food is that there aren't filaments that I can print that are dishwasher safe. They warp or shrink. So I have to hand wash them. What I've used them for is lids for Pyrex containers, where the lid is in the refrigerator and is not indirect, substantial contact with the left overs. So, I'm not worried about food-safety. I'm just annoyed with having something that I have to treat special. OTOH, it is really annoying that you can you can buy yogurt in containers where the lids last for years but the Pyrex containers that last for decades have lids that fail after a year. Initially, I thought this was because I was using the lids to cover the food when reheating in the microwave. But even after I stopped doing that, the lids still quickly failed.

    One of the things that contributed to manufacturer's exiting the 3d printing consumer market is what Brooks pointed out as he closed up the PrinterBot company. Most of the cost he was passing on to the customers was support, whether that support was for helping with build of kits, or ongoing support of fully built printers, it ended up being about the same amount. He realized that since that portion was effectively being dropped by the Chinese manufacturer's, and he wasn't going to be able to provide support for those devices as either a subscription service, or as a pass through of those company's products, there was no real way that he could compete against the price discrepancy.

    Good points on (50 shades of) food safety :)
    PLA is used in agriculture and for containers and utensils in direct contact with food.
    Lead - compared to era of leaded gasoline? That lead was everywhere (some may still exist in the ground around us), including food, especially grown close to roads.
    Bacteria & mold - if printed part is hard to clean and it is used for moist material, use it once and trash it. Print another when needed.

    I feel like you didn't address, or maybe aren't aware of, why 3d printed parts shouldn't be used for food contact. It has nothing to do with lead or materials. It's because of the microscopic troughs between the layer lines that harbor bacteria that are nearly impossible to clean away.

    • @rainmannoodles
      @rainmannoodles Před měsícem

      Precisely.
      For some uses (like custom cookie cutters) the parts are so cheap and fast that you could just print new ones. Also, if it only ever comes into contact with dry food (like a scoop for rice) I don’t see a problem.
      For other things, coating the part is probably the easiest solution. There just isn’t a lot of good information out there on this topic, and most products aren’t going to make any “food safe” claims so it’s hard to know what to use. I’d like to see something easy to use (maybe a spray can) that’s actually certified properly.

    The insights on 3d production machinery, consumer and industrial was interesting. It would be fascinating to touch on 3d production consumables (filament, metal powers, etc), as to where they're sourced, and where they are used in production manufacturing. This should provide an idea of how much the equipment is being used, and where is used globally.
    Breaking food safety down into categories may be helpful ... dry vs. wet; acceptable temperature ranges and problem areas (microwave, or dish washer).
    Regarding lead, many pipes still have lead joints, or lead pipes. High replacement cost has delayed upgrades by decades in some cases.

    Most printers sold are from big industrial guys- wrong conclusion. They have 50% of the REVENUE, but since they cost more per unit it doesn't mean more are sold. The sales by Bambu Lab and Creality caused the other companies to try and release competitors. But everyone fell short as they had firmware issues, print quality issues at high speed, etc. If someone can come out with a solid competitor, it will be interesting to see what happens in that market (right now Phrozen's Arco is the next attempt to compete in that niche in both price and performance. Releases in July)
    The Bambu Lab nubers are also skewed because they only had one full quarter of sales in 2022 and those were the X1C at $1200 per unit. 2023 brought the P1P, P1S, A1 and A1 mini. The A1 in the last quarter. So what would be interesting to see is 4th quarter 2023 sales vs 4th quarter 2022 sales.

    Personally I see a lot of people that switched from other brands to Bambu, so I guess there is a big portion of people that are not "new" to the hobby. But on the other side they're the first consumer grade printers that I would recommend to people who don't want to dive too deep into tinkering a lot with the machine. What all seem to have in common - they print a lot more with their Bambu printers. I had an Anycubic before which was working "fine", but the user experience is a whole different level with the Bambu. During the last quarter I've probably printed 4-5x more filament than with my Anycubic in five years. I think who will benefit from the rise of the Bambu printers are especially the filament manufacturers.
    It's crazy how quickly even big brands like Sunlu / Jayo are sold out these days once they list new batches of filament. Sometimes it takes just hours and their whole color range is out of stock again.
    Same for Bambu and others. I'm wondering if the unexpected growth and logistics are the limitation or the production itself. I guess the latter, since logistics are easier to scale,

    Valid but what about the plastic itself? You select specific plastics without BPA etc when buying normal plastic products that are non-porous. What about filament? Do they all contain safe components ? What if you put it in your dishwasher or let your kid suck on it, daily. It must get into your body as much as BPA could, id you drink water daily with that water bottle? (Big issue? No idea) + Microplastics etc can't be better in a porous product I would assume.
    No need to be scared but people should at least compare it to similar products to get some perspective. Because normal injected plastic products are not ideal either, but I assume most people don't care about that.
    But that's a bigger topic.

      But based on my understanding, either Slant needed a machine that operates in a lower force grade range of machine that maybe the machine you've described works "too well" by having too wide a range (like measuring a Nail using a tape measure rather than using a caliper or ruler); maybe there's still a budget and despite the ideal of keeping machines and manufacturing in America, how things are rn maybe that's what they needed to stay close to budget; lastly, maybe they needed a special modification that maybe that Chinese machine had specifically. For that last one I also think this could be a factor: maybe its the kind of machine that would be most commonly used by the most common manufacturers of filament, and they need to use one of them for the sake of consistency for repeatable testing, which is required for real scientific data processing.
      I'm not necessarily trying to "defend" the company blindly, but trying to share reasonings that I'd probably use to justify the choice.
      Most likely, worst response: they never heard of that brand.

    Anecdotes are not evidence, but roughly 60% of people who posted on the R2-D2 Builders Club forums about having an X1C or P1P were new to 3D printing. And in other contexts, there's been a lot of people like myself who *technically* had previous experience with 3D printing but found it to be absolutely miserable because the existing platforms were so unreliable and constantly needed upgrading and tuning, but found using Bambu machines easy and enjoyable. Though on the flip side, I know at least one person who had 2 printers before and now owns three Bambu machines, so there's definitely a certain amount of the market shifting rather than growing.
    Based on this admittedly very limited data set, I suspect that a substantial percentage of Bambu sales were to people who are either brand new to 3Dprinting or who had effectively left the hobby and thus weren't spending money anywhere else.

      Bambu printers work. Constantly. Reliably. I hardly spend any time at all fixing things on my X1C. Routine maintenance? Yes. Unplanned stoppages or breakages? Not so much.

      There are one off printers that print in clay for ceramics. It's not the same process by any means, but it's printing volume is comparable to a 220x220x350 FDM printer, with the result being an object you can set on a shelf to dry for a week to dry, (or however long you need to for your environment) and then fire in a kiln. There is some 'working' time for either smoothing layers, or scraping off over-extrusion, similar to scraping flash off of classically poured and drained ceramics. As I understand it, the people doing this are primarily experimental artists looking at doing new things with various designs and build methods. As the printing process for clay very likely does not include any heating elements, it would not surprise me if the process could be extended for Desktop Concrete.

    • @RNMSC

      Yes, concrete won't run through a 2 mm plastic tube, and we probably would have issues running it through a 0.4 mm nozzle, but as long as the aggregate is fine enough, I can see a printer that does printer top mixing of the concrete, push through a 25 mm tube to a 1.5 mm nozzle, seems like it might work. The problem I see is that one of the reasons that building size 3d printing does work is that the concrete that's been extruded is capable of supporting the next layer when the nozzle gets around the structure a that layer. Unless someone comes up with a solution that works with a fast set concrete, that won't set up in the tube to the nozzle, I don't see it happening. It certainly won't be a high speed print process. At that level, the mass that you're pushing around with that nozzle is mostly going to be the concrete in the extrusion tube.

  • @polycrystallinecandy
    @polycrystallinecandy Před měsícem +1

    Someone estimated the amount of lead that would be leached, by weighing the nozzle with a milligram scale, then running many kg of filament through it and weighing it again to calculate the lost material. Even with the highest lead content brass, it would take many rolls of filament to reach even the daily lead intake limit. That's assuming you actually ate all that filament, since the amount that would leach into food would be even more miniscule.

    ZERO chance of a US-grown Snapmaker or Bambu labs succeeding because some behemoth would sue them for patents AT SOME POINT, which there's a much greater barrier for in China as blocking imports would require the big established company first proving to an actual judge that their patent was infringed on and there's no way the Chinese company could have invented it themselves.
    Why would anyone start building hobbyist printers in the US when Stratasys and HP and the other industrial makers hold all the patents, and loom over any idea you might come up with along the way trying to release an interesting consumer printer to the market? They might not win in court, but they'll put you out of business with legal costs.

    Other things you may find 3d printing good for, cracker trays, candy dishes, Bespoke containers for ground products like flower, sugar, coffee (even coffee beans) and so on.
    One of the arguments I've been seeing is that the only filament (the commentator says) is food safe is Polypropylene, as every other filament is hydrophilic, and that makes it a potential vector for bacteria, etc. Here's the problem with that argument that I see. If I go to the grocery store and buy a 2-liter bottle of a soft drink, consume the beverage, and then cut the bottom and top off the bottle, run it through one of these filastruder rigs to make PET filament and then 3d print a candy dish, at what point did the material go from being food safe as a bottle containing a beverage to not food safe as a candy dish? None of the process of turning the bottle into filament changes it's hydrophilic characteristics, (that I know of, happy to be shown that I'm wrong on that.) I'm willing to allow that the product may need additional treatment to seal it so that contamination doesn't take up residence within the dish, but that's related to whether the surface is sealed, and or the print is 'solid', not whether the filament is hydrophilic. Note as well, I'm not saying this is a way to make food safe products. I'm simply pointing out that PET, which a lot of people will admit is going to absorb water, on it's own doesn't make the soft drink bottle not food safe. Some may argue about whether what's in those bottles can be considered food, but since that is an entirely different tangent, I'll let others argue over whether sugar in the beverage or some other substance is converted into energy within the body.
