Can you buy third party materials?
Discord invite link does not work
hey guys, PLEASE go to opensauce, the mill and of course the sls pronter would go ABSOLUTLY nuts
and by the way , the mill un my basement isnt quite as big, but the londlord isnt happy as well😂
Can it print gastight like sla ?
I want this...please tell me you will send a unit or two out to major CZcamsrs to prove the machine is real.
Witnessing a small team of three engineers disrupt an entire industry and slashing the cost of sls 3D printing by over 50% is truly inspiring, it really motivates me to take action and create something on my own.
And now that you finally have SLS at your disposal, it's never been easier 😉😉
Yeah... You're the GOATs 🎉🎉🎉
That's the spitit 🦾
I really like the idea of you guys doing videos like this. I would encourage you to keep it up. I would also like to encourage you to be as transparent as you possibly can about your product. In the printing community, we see a lot of over promising and under delivering and sketchy dealings with crowd funding. You have a huge opportunity here to be a juggernaut in the hobbiest 3d printer community. Please don't let us all down lol
lifting the steel plate with the standing desk killed me 😂😂😂
Now this is some awesome inspiring content!
right! dude... insta buying this on kick.
Hey, I've seen a lot of these more consumer grade printers like this disappear behind corporate buy outs, please stay the course and release this at this price point!
I believe 3D printing will revolutionize households across the world if we try, but you got to resist the dollar!
Consider me a first Gen buyer if you guys manage to pull this off, and I'll be here for the gen 2's, be a another Prusa, not a another GE!!
You guys should come to Open Sauce next month, this would steal the show
Maybe at Closed Sauce.
Could be also called IMTS.
Man, sure is a great idea to bring a proprietary printer to an open source convention
At least it's a proprietary that doesn't cost 50k
No, don't do that.
if they filed all the patents, it is kind of open source but just not allow to use the design commercially, but it could be built privately but will be hell to source the components and debug.
We have truly fallen short in nurturing and cultivating the wealth of new ideas from our younger generations. I can't help but imagine the wasted potential of all the bright and talented individuals who are stuck in situations much worse than what these two had to overcome. I believe that the pursuit of greed and dominance in this country has become more of a societal problem than a benefit. The barriers to success placed in front of our younger generation are substantial. Despite these obstacles, however, these two determined innovators have managed to slip through a crack in the barriers and create a masterpiece in an industry dominated by large companies.
Prusa's factory tour/story from a few years ago is one of my favourite 3D Printing videos for its transparency and quality. This video is just like it, and I loved every minute of it. Super excited to see the development continue, and watch you guys get the attention you deserve. All the best!
Love how open and technical you guys are. Looking forward to hopefully getting one for myself!
I fully support your decision to patent your ideas. People that complain about it do not understand what it means to have a competitive advantage so that you can continue to grow and push out more innovations. People are ridiculous to think that when you innovate, YOU MUST give your ideas away for free... If you guys can pull this off and provide the masses with inexpensive SLS machine, i would of gained the trust that you guys know what you're doing. Im not saying its ok to be greedy, which is what most people fear you will be, but you're providing an SLS printer for 3k for crying out loud.... that speaks for itself your intentions. Excited for the future of Micronics
Indeed.
What a lot of people don't realize is that patents allow people to innovate and actually stay afloat.
If patents didn't exist, some other manufacturer could just take the idea that you spent thousands if not millions dollars + thousands of hours of development time, rip you off and sell for cheaper since they didn't need to carry the development cost.
Unfortunately the patent system is not perfect and can be misused but overall it's better to have it than not
How does that prevent companies in places that don't recognize such IP laws from copying your designs anyway?
If anything, it makes it easier for them, because now they can reference the patent material where you've described exactly how your creation does what it does.
It's a trade off, it keeps western companies from copying you, in return for having to give away your secret sauce for their reference in the future.
I LOVE THIS!!! I especially love that you created a mill in your 4th floor apartment without the landlord catching you. I truly wish you guys the best! Reminds me of the early days of Formlabs and Tormach...which I quickly bought their first models. Great companies and with your passion I think you guys will be one as well. BTW I'd buy your SLS machine over any other. Cheers!
I imagine you guys are gonna be swamped with 1) SALES 2) COMPANY BUYOUT OFFERS 3) INVESTORS 4) Can I work for your company? REQUESTS GOOD LUCK!!! A question: How does the fine detail compare to resin printers?
Industrial sls tolerance is usually around .0015-.003" ... a sla printer will likely be more accurate, but those materials aren't ideal for many applications.
@@zomie1 for +20.000€ i want 0 tolerance. But for 3.000€ a 0,02mm tolerance is perfect
You can get a high end FDM printer for that price, this is a bargain, especially considering how new it is, you guys are on the road to success. This is bambu labs level achievements
Awesome guys. Just awesome. Brilliant work.
I love that you shared this whole journey, that's fantastic
Incredible work guys.
Great work! You should bring metal 3D printing to hobbyists next!
Looking forward to see your videos of your machine. Nice looking machine and excited to get my hands on one for making some of the small parts we make.
Just ordered some parts from these guys and they are solid and accurate thanks guys first time I’ve seen held SLS parts in person so I don’t have anything to compare them to other than my plastic 3D parts and I can just say they are incredible.
Glad you liked them 😉😉
Amazing, thanks for the super interesting information!
Good luck!
Really cool video! Love seeing the design processes.
Very inspiring work guys! Congrats on such an amazing machine!
Awesome work guys looks good as well with small footprint
Love it. Definitely need one in my studio.
Well done boys! Good luck on the sales! Hope it does well. I’m following your progress.
This gets me so excited to see. You guys are amazing and I can't wait for you guys to reap the rewards for your efforts. I'll do my best to spread the word
Really awesome! Super cool to see a small team make something so great. Best wishes to this project of yours
Awesome work guys, rooting for you
Go Badgers! Another great idea coming out of Wisconsin. Nice job guys. Looking forward to supporting you when the Kickstarter launches in June.
I will definitely be backing this !
unreal job. Revolutionize this field plz!!! your team is blessed with incredible ingenuity and perseverance.
this is so dope. hope you guys crush it. congrats on such an accomplishment this far!
I love this video! Nerds forever!!!!
micron range?
This is really great and I am super happy with the print quality of the part I ordered.
I just want to say WOW and thank u for this great pice of art, that will change the world!
Subscribed! These process videos are excellent. At $3k SLS is outside my enthusiasts budget, but I'ma keep watching. 👍
This is really great, not only will it help in a more wide spread adoption in SLS printing, it will also drive competition and further accelerate development in this technology.
Great Job guys.
lovely content, keep it up !
This is awesome, keep it up. Ill be on the kickstarter.
Keep up the good work!
This is wildly amazing
Very excited for this!!
So cool to see all the protatypes and the process you went threw making it. This went from something that I was excited about but sceptical if it would be real. To now see how you got to where you are, and feeling much more confident in it launching as marketed. More companies should show the building process like this. Super excited for june!
this is such a cool video ❤
I love seeing the internal process, congratulations on this achievement
i didnt want this video to end!
Very interesting to discover the genesis of your journey!
This is awesome!
This is how you market to makers. Looks like you have a solid plan and product. Congrats on your current and future success!
You. Guys. Rock.
I wish you good luck! Wish you to stay focused on your targets. Hope you will succeed!
Awesome work guys! I sent a print to be done through your website and the result was great! Definitely looking forward to your kickstarter campaign in June! Definitely would like to scoop a printer :)
great work guys
lol about the mill on the 4th floor
Love it!
Awesome story
Mycronic is a company formerly known as Micronic laser systems. They produce some kind of semicundoctur photoedging stuff.
woahhhh!!!! that's awesome.
Fascinating, love your journey. I design terrain for tabletop gaming. I always had my eyes on that tech. I wish I was in a place where I could have one your machine. I just started my journey on youtube and online store.
While I'm not on the market for a 3k printer right now, it is *so cool* to hear about the process of making this! Good luck!
im in love
UW Madison FTMFW! Awesome, very interested in picking one of these up.
I Love This❤
Nice!
I really hope it works out for you guys, looking forward to updates
Augers are cool but the olds elevator may be a route to go. Last I checked it was off patent but seems to have been renewed until November 2024. Worth taking a look at either way.
People are hating on the patents but you guys have been open enough on how the system works that the right people could take these ideas and make it themselves too. Obviously not your average Joe but it’s enough for a start. Not many other companies are this open on their product and I love seeing the prototyping. Makes me feel like I’m in my garage lol
Don't forget, more brands with the same product brings the market forward.
This is the way
I am BEYOND excited for this. Not only is the product absolutely incredible, but the team is also top notch. Not to say that other company's teams in this space aren't amazing, but I think the difference is clear. Micronics is flipping the industry on it's head. Time for everyone else to play catch up.
I see lot of companies in the SLS space are going to be in the emergency mode soon. Please avoid the temptation to get bought over, however lucarative it is. Also prepare good legal team, to fight any patent trolls, or envious competitors(We all know what happened to FL, and the hard recovery after). Let me know if you are ready to develop a support free FDM sister(utilizing your physics engine), to accompany the big brother Micronics SLS. I am all in.❤👍👍
I can't wait to buy one!!!! Yeah are disrupting the industry one this one.
As an inventor, this is something I would really put to work. I'm highly leveraged on a product at the moment, but hopefully later this year I will be ready for one. Nice work fellas!
an SLS printer for $3K is exciting, looking forward to it!
Love your product, and approach to introducing it. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the BUILD VOLUME?
It's me again your FIRST UK CUSTOMER 😁. I liking, sharing and helping the algorithm push this. I'll be your first Kickstarter and beta tester. I'll pay the premium to support the cause. You got this! We got your back!
😘😘
I would be very curious to see how this printer would fair with miniatures. it would be a niche use case, but it would be cool to know that it could.
Let me know if you want some hardware-testing done in sweden, i'll gladly take on the challenge x)
Great, now I'm thinking of selling my CNC for this... Well done!
I would be very curious what the future of your ecosystem looks like, assuming your Kickstarter goes well and you successfully bring this printer to market. Do you foresee this printer being upgradable? Or would any improvements in the design be limited to an entire new unit?
I got a question, when I order mine are you guys going to have stock in Madison I can just swing by and grab?
can I please get a recommendation for some sort of tutorial how to use system dynamics in an application. How its used in code etc. Its not for this use case, my professor is just mid and while I understand the general idea I don't know how to apply the knowledge.thanks.
Do your design have material choice limitations compare to other high end sls printers? Keep the great work!
I am very interested to see where yall go.
Very excited for this. Will there be intl shipping options and 220v versions?
Yes of course
This is amazing guys! Any plan on building a machine that can print metal in the future? I'm sure there would be a lot of people interested in an affordable alternative for that...
This is awesome! If you don’t mind me asking, how did you came up with the cash? I often don’t pursue ideas I have because of the cost a working prototype and having no idea if it will work as intended at the end
How can it handle powders that oxidize? Does it have inert gas control system?
So want to buy this already, why you gotta tease me like this haha.
Now that's hot.
first plastic and then maby metal
I’m excited about this project ever since my friend told me about you guys, and even better since its a kickstarter but I’m really nervous since its a new company; would love it if your eased some of my fears in the kickstarter here if you mentioned how easy or hard it is to get replacements to the parts and stuff ? Thanks so much this might be my first 3d printer ( been wanting an sly printer for over a year)
All parts, from the main board to laser module to the stickers, will be available on our website and are user-replicable. We will be at Open Sauce so you can come and check us out if you are nearby. Of course we also have review units sent to your favorite content creators!
@@micronics3d thanks for easing my fears I can’t wait for the kickstarter 💖 unfortunately I live in Kuwait so it’ll be difficult to come to the event
Obviously, I would prefer that you went to Josef Prusa route and make your base design open source but, either way I deeply respect and admire what you’re doing here! And I’m very excited to get my hands on one! And I look forward to what this is going to do to the industry
SOOOOOO Good! Please let me give you my money
Gotta get one of these to Ohio State!
Any more info on the CNC mill you built? Was it based off an existing design or entirely your own?
Entirely our own, since we put it together from one-off "scrap" parts.
Hey guys, I see some surface quality issues on the prints shown, good surface quality is important to me, also could you post some accuracy numbers specifically related to skew between XYZ? what temperature does the chamber reach and maintain? How close can parts be placed to eachother without causing artifacts? (And how close to build walls) can you post a video of a print usimg the full build volume and printing say the maximum number of duplicate parts for bigger volume prodction of small parts?
You planning on doing a metal SLS printer at some point as well?
holy based
Man I would love to see a teardown of the first prototype…
Is there a possibility of a more low budget or even barebones solution?
A laser-printering 3D sinter! Incredible!
