How the "holographic" build plate works and transfers colour just based on its shape blew my mind
RIGHT. I pretty much said "HOLY CRAP!"
Similar to how our eyes have colors, it is all because of the structure causing light to reflect/refract.
Next is press that into the tshirt
"Action Lab" has a video where he uses this technique to make rainbow colored chocolate. The video is called; "Using Quantum Mechanics to Make Holographic Rainbows on Chocolate".
imagine buying two plates and squeeze pieces of chocolate between them to get "holographic" double sided chocolate coins.
I used TPU on me socks to make custom print grippy socks
Omg dude, genius lmao. I gotta do that. Any special setup? How did u get the sock to stay flat on the bed?
Any STL or instructables guide?
is it grippy?not your socks🍑
WOW that's a fantastic idea! New Christmas gifts for all my friends that love grippy socks!
Trying to embed prints inside of prints might make me obsessed with trying to work it into stuff.
8:08 Pro tip: use square nuts instead of hex nuts if possible.
Easier to plan, top and bottom of the hole can be the same size, and more area to keep the nut in place.
Only downside is you probably have like 100 hex nuts in your house already, but need to buy square nuts.
i have a meccano collection (intended) for prototyping so actually i've got heaps of spare square nuts! such a great tip, thanks :D
Wait that's actually genius, excuse me while I check amazon brb
I have deez nuts
Another Hack ive used myself, I wanted to draw an image onto plexiglass. So I put my sheet of plexiglass on my bed, removed the filament, heated the nozzle, adjusted the speed and VOILA!!... I drew a Homer Simpson face INTO a sheet of plexiglass just by melting the lines with no extrusion. You just have to adjust your Z-height into the negatives and be careful. Subtractive manufacturing using an additive machine!
That's brilliant!!! I've been thinking of converting an old printer into a laser but this technique would likely work for my intended application. I mostly just want text. I'm going to try for sure.
Now THAT is cursed. And brilliant.
YOU MUST DO THIS SUPER WELL VENTILATED AREA AND IT MUST BE ACRYLIC.
Acrylic does not emit toxic or dangerous fumes when laser-cut, unlike PVC which can release chlorine gas, and polycarbonate which can produce carbon monoxide. Just keep that in mind when experimenting. At this point, you're basically following laser cutting safety. That's just for anyone that might want to try this. I'm sure OP is aware. Carry on.
Well, I would use a laser engraver for that, since I have access to one. You apparently don't, and this has lead you to think outside the box and come up with a brilliant solution. Respect!
@@willsintheairi converted my old ender into a laser and it works insanely well
Fabric be darned:
"Darning is a traditional method for repairing fabric damage or holes that do not run along a seam, and where patching is impractical or would create discomfort for the wearer, such as on the heel of a sock."
100
omg, permanently affixed lego socks. make every step as painful as the last
@@paulbunyangonewild7596 😈The question then becomes.. how do I sneak these onto my wife as she sleeps?🤔
"Why wold you ever need a wooden mushroom?"
LOOK I just DO, alright?!
4:30 fun fact, this is also how opals get their hazy colorful glow. Same with certain types of butterflies. Science is crazy
iirc in opals its not just the surface that is causing the effect but the actual layering of the particles within the opal that give it its colors. This is why you can polish them without the color going away.
@@MTG_Music You are correct yeah! It has something to do with super tiny silica spheres or lattices or something. It's called the "opalescence", which is a fun name for it.
And some bird feathers, beetles and even blue/green human eyes!
Crystal structures are wild, see sodium acetate - that's almost hairy. But I didn't know PLA would have the refraction properties to make this effect pop!
zack is one of the few people i pay attention to when he lists his patrons
The 3D printing directly on to a shirt seems like a gimmick at first, but you can use it as a template to do bleached shirt designs. Night Hawk In light did a video years ago on how to make shirts this way, but its really time consuming using freezer paper like he does, especially for intricate designs.
On thingiverse there have been ender 3 attachments that use the extruder motor to actuate a syringe filled with silk screen plastisol inks directly onto fabric without the silk screen for years now.
Could also use the tulle method to make your own 3d printed silk screen mask.
@@bagok701 That sounds like a genius idea.
@@bagok701 Or lay stiff wire into channels, and glue them in place. Or using a 3d printing pen.
"It's not a benchy, it's just a bench!" XD
Jesus Christ, a My Immortal reference was not how i expected to start my day
This looks like the "Billy Reuben" episode. I know she did a lot of the early work on printing onto fabrics. AND YOU CREDITED HER! You are awesome, Zack.
“Eldritch sorcery that man was not meant to know, or the ladies, or the cyborgs” not sure if you meant to imply enbies are cyborgs but speaking as one, I’m here for it
Yep, he does
Zack is very lgbt inclusive. Cyborgs are anything inbetween! And since this is a techy/nerd channel. It fits perfectly.
It's a play on how he usually starts a video: "Ladies, gentlemen and cyborgs: ..."
I once printed some designs on fabric in TPU. They were somewhat like old engineering drawings so lots of thin lines. The print kept separating from the fabric too easily. What I found saved the whole project was combination of baking paper and ironing. It took few tries to get the temperature right but then I was able to put some smooth plywood under the fabric, baking paper wax side down on top of the printed side of the fabric and iron over the paper. This re-melted the TPU a little while pressing it hard into the fibres of the fabric. The final result looked good and felt durable. I think it even survived some trips through a washing machine on "delicate" settings.
10:04 That's my purse! I don't know you!
I never felt more owned by a CZcams Video ;-) then by this section
14:30 I can confirm everything he has said. Except the chest hair part. I haven't tested.
See you at RMRRF Zack!
I will never not watch through all the patron shout-outs. Despite the excellent, entertaining, and informative content throughout the rest of your videos, the one-take shout-outs are my favorite bits.
@10:02 I feel personally attacked
This was a fun one playing a game of 'have I done this'.. A bunch of these were from before the days of metal build plates, so it was clips around the edge of the glass sheet to hold fabric in place. Billie's ones with magnets in the edges make for fun clip-on clothing.
And made a bunch of entrance/ID tags for a makerspace using NFC tags and dual colour prints, also lots of fun. Including one with embedded magnets and a reed switch that would change tag ID when you flipped over a part. Glad that worked on the first try because I'm never doing it again!
Could make some interesting temporary "3D tattoos" by printing a collection of small shapes on a thin, nude wig-lace and blending over the lace with makeup.
If you wanna really see how durable your 3d prints can be, you should look into visiting a local robot combat league.
You could probably print on things that dont need washing as often as a shirt, like a hat (beanies, flat brim hats etc), scarf, fabric belt, bandanna, back pack (top flap style I imagine but itd be some clever positioning), you get the idea lol.
But in case you dont: pet sweaters, wrist wrap, dog leash, removable hood from a winter jacket, purse or fanny pack strap, print your own Hitai-ate (Naruto headband), sash of all varieties (glow in the dark would be cool for a crossing gaurd, cloth shower curtains, curtains, old-school toilet seat lid cover, laundry bag, painters tarp, reusable grocery bag, smart pots, flags (could probably print one on a peice of fabric too). Just off the top of my head 😂. Now go open an etsy store and sell me something cool that I'm too lazy to make.
The My Immortal reference made me cackle
One of the silliest things I've ever done was churn it through a text to speech with the worst voice I could find (Will: From Far Away). It's 3h long and almost unlistenable, but it's perfect.
I was not expecting it
@@blueberry1c2the Internet Historian's reading of it was the best version of it ever.
I kept thinking you had an eye infection, but its the color of your teleprompter. Oddly glad I realized this I was worried you had bad eye stuff for months.
I've missed your streams! Loved them and the community that would always be there. Glad you're still doing them for the supporters. Looks like I need to be one!
This is hilarious, I’ve been printing for many years now and got into printing shirt designs JUST TWO DAYS AGO for the first time, and this comes out! Printing onto baking sheets ended up…. poorly, despite caking on 10 layers of gluestick. Awesome coincidence and great video :)
Literally the best kiwico AD!
The pattern on the back side of the carbon fiber plate is actually “forged carbon fiber”
This is probably my favorite video you've ever done. Everything in here is cool af.
This is my favorite video so far, can't wait for part 2
We need more of these cursed techniques!
Hi Zack! I love your videos, I always watch one whenever they come out
great content, full of information, explanation even dumbed down that i can understand. thank you for sharing this one , good luck for future ones.
I literally recommend your channel to other YTers all the time, so much stuff I don't think they're thinking of!
And that, dear content creators, is how you do sponsorships. No temu or BH crap, but the actually fantastic kiwico.
This guy has the only patron member list I will sit through
I love how creative these Ideas are !!
That was really fun, thanks for sharing!
I'm happy I stayed up instead of sleeping
video is about over now, go to between its done
Good tip on gluing the magnets. I ran into that issue just last week with my new printer. I have always used manual bed leveling before this latest batch of printers.
I don't remember if you were getting sponsors before, but I am glad you are getting them now! Take that nearly free monay!
Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for another one.
caught a video on time W. its always a good day when zack uploads
Just time time for 4/20, Zack teaches us how to make sweet hidden stash boxes. In case of emergency, break Mario question block for edibles, lol.
If you use 2 layers of petg and alternate the infill direction, you get this amazing pattern that bends light through it. I made tree ornaments this way using transparent green petg, then added a border and raised text using opaque red petg.
Playing with speed and temperature will adjust how transparent it is. Print hot for better results.
It might make sense to compare that dual-material filament to something like labradorite. It gets it's colors from two materials that "alloy" at high temperature, but form little plates as it cools down.
I’ve been re-binge watching all of your videos and this hits right on the spot 😂
On the PLA and PETG not sticking part, you can also make jointed parts using that technique. It's similar to how joints in Gundam toys are made, except there they are double-shot injection molded ABS and PP, another pair of incompatible materials. If it's a vertical joint, just make two parts with zero clearance and one will mold perfectly over another, making a smooth joint that will release with some gentle persuasion. PETG's low coefficient of friction helps. It doesn't work as well across layer lines so there a bit of clearance might be needed, but it's still more precise and has more potential for geometry than single-material print-in-place parts.
Rewatched this vid like 4 times already. Love the vid lots of good info
I did a custom printed t-shirt a couple of years ago, I used normal TPU and it worked great! I wear it on a regular basis and it has 2 years worth of wash and dry cycles on it, it still looks as good as the day I printed it! Its a great converstation started lol.
Heck yeah another episode. Consider this already good evening engoodened.
It's interesting I just came across a holographic build plate for cheap and got it not knowing for sure what it was. Now I do! Let the fun begin!
These Spinning shurikens shiny starbursts and spectacular spectra spring solely from super small scratches on this special spring steel surface
🔥
To be veridicalous 🤓, shuriken means any throwable knife, so...
Kunai doesn't count because it's a type of spade.
Yohooo! This is me from the past! I already dropped prints into other prints back in 2012! :D Awesome stuff.
Can’t wait for the new app that ranks space filling curves by hotness! 😂
Prusa has a 3d printable raised platform for printing on tshirts on mk3 style printers. There is also a video on how to use it, for anyone who is interested.
17:26 - so... use a white/light-color shirt, do the TPU print for a negative of the design, dye the whole shirt a second darker color, then wash the TPU out
free emulsion, without the caustic chemical to strip the emulsion from fabric after the fact...
Amazing as usual!
You are literally the only person I have notifications on for. I really need to get around to paying on patreon
That build plate is an amazing idea/solution! I gotta get me one! Cheers from Texas!
Thanks to KiwiCo for sponsoring Zack. This is a match made in sponsorship heaven.
This was a great video, man. Will give a couple a try.
I actually had time to understand what you were saying. Thank you for slowing down.
I came for the 3D printing (NICE) and stayed for the alliteration
It's so nice seeing my local-ish filament maker in your video! Atomic Filament!!!
Meanwhile my uninteresting "cursed" techniques include:
1. Chop everything into pieces in order to prevent needing support.
2. Print bottom chops with higher infill to modify the center of mass.
3. Design models to be intentionally round to optimize print time
4. Design models to make 0% infill work
5. Design coffee filter to be printable in vase mode so that they are practically free.
Cracking content dude. Subbed.
The fact that the washer removes the TPU looks like a water to get a new design with each wash
Awesome video i Learned so much
love the legends of the hidden temple shoutout
Yoooo, that Hidden Temple pendant is amazing
Always great thanks
I know nothing about 3D printing but I really like these videos
Cant wait to see you at rrrrf this weekend!
Another way to do this with the Tshirt is by heating the very bottom layer and then sticking it to an already straightened tshirt, it really depends on what you prefer to do, but there are many ways to go about it. Doing it the way you mentioned in the video will likely require some more insane z offset configuring.
Watching this before I head to bed, when I wake up I'm heading straight to the airport for RMRRF!
I haven't seen one of your videos in a couple months. You look CLEAN! 💅
I may use that shirt printing technique for a costume, I want a way to get really dark text on a commando sweater for a Cyberpunk 2020 cosplay so I can put corpo logos on it. The center of the costume is a 3d printed helmet cyberdeck that has LED lights come on when you lower the net goggles.
Keep on making content you absolute legend 😎
PA and ABS/ ASA are also great support materials for each other. PLA, and PETG work both ways as well.
It would be cool to see if there are other filaments that would work on shirts. I would love to see a video on it.
Can use the T-Shirt technique for 3D printing silk screens?
I hate to call you a "CZcamsr"... but, you are now my favorite CZcamsr
Those build plates are crazy!
I am going to rmrrf this weekend, hope to see you there!
holy shit thank you for mentioning that show by name, its been eluding me for decades at this point!!!
way better than expected: ----> awesome !!
I've used the PLA PETG support mix successfully when I only use the support filament for the support interface on my X1C.
I just did one of the hacks yesterday! I printed a lama pinata in neutral pla and filled the hollow spaces with shredded colorful pla. I was also printing scales on the net for my daughter - she used them as patches for her clothes! :)
In regards to that PLA/PETG cored filament - there's HexCore filament on printables that's a 2 material filament, so you can make similar filament if you have a prusaxl. I made tpu with a petg core that worked quite well.
Got my sub! great stuff
Haha I've had one of those fancy build plates sitting in my shopping cart. I just haven't pushed the shiny button yet. Might as well replace it with the affiliated one
I got my first 3d printer 2 weeks ago (Ender 3 V3 KE) . It's amazing.
May I suggest I new vid on what you learned so far from 3d printing so far and tip for beginners??
Videos on modeling please. It is barely covered across all channels. Seeing more of the different viewpoints and methods is a big help.
I use nylon nuts and bolts to secure things in prints all the time without using metal, and they're just as paintable and corrosion resistant too.
We want to see the entire shirt 3D-printed, man! Do it!!!
Protip: If you're doing a multi-material print which includes flexible firaments like TPU, dont use a Bambu Lab AMS (or similar switcher). They can jam while pushing the filament into the printer.
Mind Blown …thank you
For printing shirts with an inductive probe could you run your z offset with the shirt sandwiched between the build plate and the bed? 🤔
I printed TPU shirt and patched holes in jeans same technique years ago and it last forever!
It went in the washing machine several time 0 issue... Maybe because. you used TPE ?
I mean to try melt a pre-printed patch onto clothes instead perhaps using a hot plate to warm up the patch...
You could combine the shirt print one of the "holographic" build plates to make the shirt print iridescent.
Wow this is crazy cool
