Watertight 3D Printing

Today, we’re going to figure out how to make watertight 3D prints!

I’m a madman and I use 3D printed parts on my cnc spindle for water cooling as well as to a coolant spray loop. Thinking of building some computer AIO radiators using 3D printed parts, flattening some copper tubing, and weaving some copper strips in, great of you to spread the good word of water tight printing

[SequoiaAlexander]

I love it. It's cool to see you really experimenting to see what these machines can do. I'm a big believer that the current FFM printers are more capable than we give them credit for, but it takes experimentation to figure it all out!

Love it. So many discussions on the net about 100% infill and multiple perimeters when slicing etc, you come along and say "Just print it fatter!". Liked and subbed :)

U can print 0.4 thickness and be water tight just print slower i have managed myself at 40% speed it’s that good it’s like a mirror finish

Wondering if you tried simply using a 0.4 nozzle w/ extrusion width set to 0.8 and upping the layer line overlap? I haven't tried this, but seems like it would work.

[Perspectologist]

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience on this topic. This large nozzle concept is pretty cool.

[jimb]

Nice. But no mention of filament type. I assume PLA.

[EnergySeeker]

i have a nozzle which is 1.2mm and am not able to use it in cura, how did you slice in cura ?

The only video that answers my question ❤

One of my friend 3D printed a submarine. As it submerges, pressure becomes greater, pushing the water through the layer cavity. Your video only shows that the cup is able to hold the water, but can it withstand high pressure due to the depth of water?

[lbochtler]

it should be the other way around, airtight is much harder then water tight. Even harder is vacuum tight, then to what extent.

I printed a tray for my coffee machine a while ago with a, 8mm nozzle. I even sealed it with a thin layer of UV Resin and it seemed to be tight for a few hours filled with water. It was fine until after a few weeks I noticed water under the tray 😢

I have been printing with TPU and a .05 nozzle AnyCubic D I had good water retention but some very very slow seepage. I found a solution that i over looked in settings overlap was not set now it at 35% doing a new cup.

yk, Dani (Dani dev) I think he met a competitor in the neck size competition

[Makzimoto]

that's all cool, but is there a easyer way of achieving such results without having to buy a 2mm nossle, i thought of making a case to hold the heat to then put around my 3D printer so the plastic can just melt down a bit and cover the holes

[SIGSEGV]

Have you looked into the effects of using heated chambers yet?

Great video dude..let loosen up man dont be afraid to be yourself...it will come with experience keep up the great work

[lukec]

i was expecting an april fools joke followed up by a video of you eating blueberry waffles

[ameliabuns]

Uhm just coat the outside!

I used nail polish but I'd probably use resin for a proper print

I'm making a fountain pen, and that goes under a vacuum that has a lot of pressure before ink gets sucked up and the vacuum is released

[sighshell]

Where did you get the idea for the teapot?
