but if the object has no opening, it will be filled with that Gel, right?

[Karuiko]

To be fair, FDM doesn't need gravity either, just a surface to print on.

No support material is a big plus though.

Of note, it was patented like a decade ago and has been in use since. I doubt it'll be commercially affordable anytime soon, though, as it has a lot of waste.

You just lifted all of us to a different level bro.
Awesome work!

[Lootalot]

Sounds like he said “de-f***ing gravity” 😂

[lostGash]

the main issue i can see with this method is dealing with bubbles in the gel. if youre injecting liquid plastic into the gel, any air pockets will surely also fill up with plastic, leaving unsightly lumps, no?

This is like upgrading from a Riemann Sum to an Integral

I remember someone trying to make 3d prints in water for this. Its good to know someone found a good solution

1. You forget that the gel needs GRAVITY
2. The filament needs to be lighter than the gel
3. What makes it go fast-ER is the EXTRUSION SPEED & G-code speed on the STEPPER MOTORS

I wonder if this could also help health-wise. plastic/Resin fumes are bad for humans and require good ventilation to be safe, if the printing is done in a gel then the fumes should be mostly stuck in the gel.

The large bubbles in the gel would become bumps on the surface of the 3D printed object as the material tries to fill in the bubbles.

I came up with a method very similar to this in my Master's for a project, so I feel very happy that it really is doable.

[GeneralSzadek]

nothing new. Using it already since 6 years and your statements are pretty wrong. It is still in most cases layer by layer. you also only show this approach and no free-form example. and it is super slow and not fast because it requires very specific settings and nozzle to compensate for viscoelastic artefacts which results in quite long print times.

Funny how Bob Lazars sport model, will be possible to make soon.

Traditional FDM printers can print upside down or on its side, they have been used in space for years and don't require gravity. Do your research before you make claims.

[keithwhisman]

I’m sure that the one catch is that the goo the printed parts are made in is also known as liquid death that causes extreme cancer just be being in its presence.

I mean, it’s very cool. Especially for split prints. But hollow prints will have to be drained like resin prints.

Resin has very little viscosity and drains easily from prints.

I don’t see this coming out without a fight.

[jaromir_kovar]

This is pretty amazing! I went to check out available videos and there are 7 years old videos about this 😮 How come it managed to stay this obscure, while being this awesome?!

3D printing is truly the future of tomorrow today. It’s one of the coolest inventions to come to home use in the last decade.

Next, you should feature the space station 3-D printer!
