I built a Metal 3D Printer using my Welding Machine

Still much better than my welding! Would be interesting to see how much better a flux gas welder would do!

[Chill]

As a professional welder who's pondered this, Ill say you could improve this massively by using normal mig wire and co2 gas, then you won't have slag. Also have the torch 90* to the steel not the ideal angle but atleast its consistent with the drag/push of the arc

My Gcode told me to come to this video's coordinates at a rate of F6000

Have you ever heard of lost PLA casting, its a way of creating metal parts out of plastic 3d prints. I believe it would help you build your metal rocket nossle and be an intresting video.

Shouldn’t angle the nozzle like this when building up material and travelling in different directions. Actually did something very similar years ago for repair filler welding using a fully articulated ABB arm robot. We had it oscillate on the axis perpendicular to the travel to gain line width and manage the HAZ. This got us very good and even line height and surprisingly nice finish

"If I can't buy, I DIY." I like it.

Hi 👋
If my lathe or milling machine could help you in any way, just send me an email. I am not an engineer of course, but I definitely can make some simple stuff :)

When welding thin sheet metal such as in autobody work, they stitch the pieces together or let each weld cool instead of going continuously, which obviously distorts it.
Also using argon/CO2 as your flux instead of a flux core wire will help in production.

Video Suggestion: You could try making a mold from ceramic filament, and using it to make something out of metal

You've revealed my secret reason for going by J. It only takes 4 teslas to spell my name. I'm practically saving the planet.

Makes it seem so easy... For me just to model a pen holder and 3D print it would be half a day's work... That Nikola fella behind you is very very happy to be in your lab.. Never taking yourself seriously, being happy, not worrying about failures, actually expecting things to go wrong so you learn more... Wow... You are the Man!

Video Idea: Print a UAV with a rocket engine. Tomatoes are disgusting!

Edit: thank you guys, really thank you for the support. I'm an agricultural engineer ("studying" for the comment below) and a 3D printer can really help my research.

Edit 2: maybe an FPV version can be better to take a look at a tomato up close (when it is burning of course). Remember! Tomatoes are disgusting!

the guy just rick rolled everyone with a 2d rick astley in a 3d printer, what a strategy

[vitorcs]

Hey, Integza! I noticed you're a little less pumped up as usual in this video. Don't worry, it's great as always! Just wanted to, as a fan, check if everything is ok.

Video idea: make an engine that fuels from wood that powers a lathe, so the wood shavings will be used to power it again

[dartstudio]

I've never been so happy to get "Rick rolled", well done sir!

[I_am_ENSanity]

My years of welding is causing me to cringe while still being intrigued.

[Damnkarma]

Video Idea: Build a 3d printed railgun that can absolutely destroy tomato's with pure kinetic energy (even in the can, where they feel safe)

Hey so here's a suggestion, so my dad is a master mechanic and over the years I've helped and learned to work on cars/trucks etc. When doing body work and your welding 2 pieces of metal together to make your bumper, fender etc whatever it is your working on, the trick to make your piece keep its shape as your welding it is to spot weld it. Spot welding is pretty much a tac weld but you do it so short and quick the metal doesn't get hot. The metal being cold/room temperature as you weld on it is key for it to keep its shape and not twist/warp on you. I hope this suggestion helps! I love all the videos I'm a huge fan 😊
