Wonderful news! and thanks so much to both of you doing for this amazing work! 👏😌
Could be interesting to see up-close pictures of the same model (same setup - camera angle, settings, light… for having the same reference), so we can compare the filaments between each other.
That's a great idea. I've printed one model for every filament we've done. I wonder how it would hold up to close-up footage? We had initially planned on doing something similar in each video but had to abandon it for time. But we could always do separate videos to show differences across a color or type. I'm liking this idea! Love your videos. I can't wait to find out more about your upcoming projects!
@@FilamentStories Thanks! :)
I'd love to see more about how you tune your printer for each new batch of filament. Your prints always look terrific. Also, filaments that commonly give people issues and how you adapt to that.
I have always loved "origin stories" after I get into a book series/TV series/CZcams channel/etc.. Yours is no exception. I have enjoyed your channel and your shorts for over 2 years. You have a clean and flowing style that is easy to follow. Keep up the great content. Congratulations on finding a venue for your skills and having a supportive spouse!
Just what i needed an even bigger variety of filaments and colors, this is amazing. I am taking you as an example and start a collection of filaments and analize the technical aspects of the filaments from different brands in my country
This video has WAY too few views. I immediately wondered about you and your story when I first saw you pop up on my shorts feed. Thanks for sharing your story
❤️ Omgosh yes! I hate shopping for filament on Amazon because everything (the images) all look the same. Thank you and thank your husband for these amazing videos!
YAY! Congrats on the protopasta partnership! I would love to see cheap filament that I can afford lol
Jack, thanks so much for such kind words! I've had several people ask about economical filaments. I've got it on my list. Thanks for the suggestion!
This is wonderful. I'm often more interested in the engineering properties of the filament but lately I've been wanting to use tons of colors and textures for less serious things. These videos have been great.
I love the engineering / strength aspects of the filaments, but I most commonly don't need the filaments in a rugged environment. I'm all about color and style! I'm so glad the videos have been useful. That's the best thing I could ever hope to hear from someone. Thank you!
@FilamentStories
I've been using 3d printers in an industrial setting for years now but have a son who is old enough to appreciate it and we are getting into making things together. A whole different perspective now lol
What a positive and informative announcement! Thanks for all the time effort both of you put into your Filament Stories. I'll be back later with some ideas I'd like you to feature.
Thats super cool. I love seeing the different things you print. Makes me want to try some of them myself.
I love seeing what other people print in pictures and videos. I invariably ask, "what filament is that" though. Picking models is a lot of the fun, that's for sure!
This is amazing. I've learned so much over the past month or so from you abd other channel owners. Thank you and congrats!!
I'd like to see you discuss subscription boxes. There are the ones with samples like MakerBox, ProtoPasta and Alien 3d. But I'm interested in the ones where you get full spools, like one of the options with the ProtoPasta subscription. I've tried subscription from Printed Solid, Filament One, and Push Plastics. Are there others that I don't know about?
That's a really great idea. I know there are some others around than those two. I'm adding it to my list. I'll see what I can do!
That super cool! Do you think you could do some posts organized by color? Then when we're looking for a color recommendation, we could check out your play lists and get some ideas?
Hello Courtney, first off I want to thank you so much. I've been watching you since I started this 3D venture with a printer that I had found in a parking lot. A prusa mini in February and now I own six machines and a ton of filament which because of you I've purchased polymaker RD3
A molin! III max and many others and wanted to keep him dry. So I came up with this idea and I'll be darned if it doesn't work pretty darn good. Oh I can't send you pictures but I took an enclosure. Made some shelves and put a dual filament dryer with the top open. I've got it to 50 Celsius 2% humidity and it works excellent. Wish I could send you the pictures
I haven't spent enough time on your channel. It's a shame because it's one of the more fun 3d printing ones on CZcams. I'll start watching more!
I’m super new to 3D printing, barely introduced to it by some coworkers. I recently constructed my own loft bed, but borked some dimensions that require me to add some “feet” or spacers to gain some height. My overall theme is Halo, and with the Halo Infinite launch awhile back I was thinking of making those feet look like the metallic spires found around the campaign map.
- Does filament type have any impact on weight limits in conjunction with the actual design?
- Are there filaments translucent enough for say led lights to shine through?
- Any filaments that act like glass on a sunny day, like able to reflect light so it separates back into a rainbow?
That’s so awesome to hear. Have both of their subscription boxes. The pla and petg. Maybe you can get them to make a nice range of rainbow’s. Fast, medium and slow change.
Love eco-friendly filaments!
That's great news. I love Proto Pasta filament. And I really like matte filaments.
I'm pretty excited to work with them, I had a hard time keeping the secret! They're such nice people and of course I love their filament. It's going to be a busy year I think!
This is exciting! Congrats!!
The remoldable filament looks interesting:)
Really enjoyed this, nice to see why you started the channel.
As a filament maker I'm also guilty of not putting enough effort into showing the real detail of the filament, I must admit I've never really thought about how important this could be. So thank you, quite an eye opener. I've started brainstorming for a 3DTomorrow character / print piece to showcase the filament, so hopefully will give more of that macro detail people like you might be after. It's obvious really that any detail filaments are going to benefit hugely from this sort of example work, but sometimes the most obvious things are easily missed!
I wonder whether you've thought about partnering up with filament librarian? They could link to your videos from the plaque cards, it would be great additional exposure for your channel of course, but equally would improve that filament comparison / expectations resource.
Keep up the good work.
I would be very interested to see a deep dive into flexible filaments and their potential.
Congrats
would love to see more on the different wood filled, black light and glow in dark stuff. Some of the rubber stuff would be good also. Would be great to talk about how to care for your filament also??.. Storage, keeping it dry, how to dry it out also?
I've got all of these down on my list. I definitely need to do more of them. And the ideas on filament storage/care/drying is something I've been wanting to do a video on (videos?) Thank you so much for the suggestions, it really helps to know what people want to see!
Hemps filament sound great
I'd love a reliable source of reviews for filament - really an extension of what you're already doing. Tell us about the printability, colour consistency, a lot of pretty looking filaments look different printed at different speeds and temperatures so what's the best settings for a given filament?
That's such a good idea. Originally we wanted to make longer videos in wide format on CZcams and cover more information about each filament but the videos seemed to drag and we weren't able to get in the #shorts stream (or Instagram Reels or TikTok) with that format so we switched to short, vertical format. And man oh man is it hard to get much said in that timeframe. I say we "showcase" filaments because there just isn;t time to say much more than that. Ideally, I've wanted to go into more depth about the filaments and do some comparisons and other more technical things with them. I think we're getting to a place where we can do more of that. I mean, I love showing off how pretty a filament is, but it's nice to be able to say more than that. Whew, I bet you weren't expecting such a long, rambling response! Thank you so much for the suggestions; I've got it in the list I'm keeping and you've given me some good ideas for future content!
@@FilamentStories thanks for the long reply, I totally get what you mean. Either it's a quick "here's what it looks like" or a really really looking "here's what it looks like, and here's what it looks like on another thing" 😆
Oh and I was looking at a filament yesterday which was a photo of the roll in shrink wrap in a different colour, so your reasons for getting started totally resonate with me!
Thanks for the printer recommendations I bought Ender 3 pro
Yay!!! That's so exciting. I remember when we got our first 3D printer. It was just magical watching it print. I hope you love it as much as I love 3D printing!
Video about nozzle cleaning procedure when changing filament types. Like using cleaning filament after printing PETG.
That is a really good idea. I could definitely do a video on that. I use the cleaning filament myself, but not every time I change colors. What is cleaning filament, how and when to use it, and anything else to consider when cleaning a nozzle like tools and best practices. Oh, this is a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion, I've got it on my list!
Black filament with Glitter or some kind of sparkle something like midnight with sparkling looks like stars
Wait, tell me more about all of those special filaments LOL
Thanks for sharing this story. And you're right, there is no favorite filament.....ever! I've never used protopasta but I'm very interested in trying some out very soon. Would be great to see you working, closer with the protopasta team. Stay awesome! BTW, what I'd like to see if you could share a tutorial on how to combine multiple filaments of the same type (pla for instance) to get one of the craziest designs ever. I'm talking long and short strips, silk, rainbow, marble, clear, UV color changing, glow in the dark, etc all mixed up. Basically a "let's try and see what we get" thing! I have a strong feeling as I'm typing this comment that you've already done this🤔. Sure hope not. But anyway that's what I'd like to see. I'm working on doing this myself🤞.
OoooOoooo....I like this idea of the craziest model ever. Hmmm, what model would qualify for being "crazified"? I've used lots of little strips for small models, but it requires being there to regularly change the filament. But...there could be a long strip in the middle of the night and then back to changing colors again in the morning. Or, it could be a model that takes only twelve hours to print. I need to think on this. Thank you for the suggestion! [takes note: print craziest model ever]
@FilamentStories yea... the craziest model ever! I'm thinking that if various filaments are fused together, then you won't necessarily have to be there. Maybe doing the occasional check to ensure the filament change-over went through the extruder and the hotend successfully, I'm thinking that would be all that's needed. But again we're talking about a plan that may not go according to plan. Going nacho l back to the fusing idea, I recall seeing a video of a gentleman who shows a rather simple procedure of fusing filament with just a candle, scissors, and a shortened bowden tube. I tried it and it does work. Let me know your thoughts. I'm going to give it a go soon.
You should also check out Verbatim filament if you havent! Made in Japan iirc.
I've seen it before but haven't even gotten any. I've put it on the list. Some of the translucents look really pretty! Thank you for the suggestion!!
Got any videos on your 3d printer? Or just what type of printer you have?
And do you use different types of storage for different types of filament
I want to see more shiny ones
I love the shiny filaments too. They hide layer lines and just look so beautiful. I've added it to the list. Thank you for the suggestion!
I had a spool of SIMAX3D PLA that was a really nice colour of yellow.
After a while I notice that it was brittle and would break easily even though I had kept it in a bag with a desiccant. I have a filament dryer and used it on the spool and I could get prints out because it would heat up the filament as it would print but at the end when the extruded would park and cool down the filament would snap.
My question: Is this just a crappy filament or is this normal. I have a lot of other filament and so far none has done this. Should I stay away from SIMAX3D or is this just a fluke/bad spool. Your thoughts?
I am not sure if this is worth a video or a quick answer.
Have you ever used the Transparent Blood filament from Coex? It's easy to print with and is just a beautiful color too.
Wow, that looks really dark and deep and bloody red. I almost missed it when I was looking through their site because I was looking in the red area and it was higher up in the blackish filaments section. I definitely am going to have to get it because it looks soooo good. Is it bad that I think a blood red filament looks good? I've got it on the list. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@FilamentStories it’s not bad at all. It’s a beautiful filament. I printed a ton of Christmas ornaments with it for gifts last year & almost everyone commented on how much they loved the color.
red and black filaments split is there any? where can i get it
I've asked the same thing. At this point there isn't a red/black coextrusion split down the middle, but there is a red/black PETG that just came out. I just got it in the mail. I'd love to see a coextrusion though. www.amazon.com/dp/B09MTP7N68?
I'm sure it's great filament, but their prices are outrageous and beyond the price range of most hobbiests. Their prices are on the highest end of prices for USA made filament. There's no excuse for it.
