Starting up the extrusion line for the day

Amazing! Takes all that work, machinery and technical know how to keep an entire spool of filament at 1.75mm diameter!

Hello David! I appreciate the work you've done here, thanks. We are setting up a similar business in Turkey and i don't know if you produce ABS but we have problems with the rounding of the ABS. Those tools you use in the water tank for rounding, are they also applicable for ABS? What is it how can we find it? If not too much can we have your e-mail address?

Where did you source everything from besides the extruder?

cant you just 3d print pellets using the out of spec filament roll?

the buffer is really cool!

Love this.
What is the temperature of water? I'm curious to know :)

Just imagine, in China there are children running these machines. Most are more skilled than this guy 😂

hi sir i'am a mechanical engineering student why do you use 2 long tanks of water for cooling ? why you don't use 1 or air cooling ? and why the distance between them ? please i need your answer for my research

Where do you source your dies for cooling trough? Can you explain more about why you need dies etc..

Manufacturer: "you said you wanted what again?"
Printed Solid, Inc: "the most annoying alarm notification system you have.. you know just to let me know the machine is running properly... all the time."
Manufacturer: "ok, but it's going to go off every other 30 seconds"

Hi. thank you for your video. Can you please tell me why do you cool the Filament with the Water and not with the Air(For Example PC FAN)?

Why water I thought filament is meant to be dehydrated.

Wow

No wonder that creepy cheap Amazon filament snaps, crackles and pops…

Nice process, no room for laziness though 😅

How much does extruder operator make?

its nuts because hes calibrating machines that are dependant on other machines lol imagine how much waste that was initially starting it up and fiddling with everything to get the numbers right like how did he figure out the winding speed to not destroy the filament capacitor lol

David , can u tell me the temperature setups for petg extrusion ?

How much would an hourly rate be to have someone do this for you

Thanks. Nice video

If Rube Goldberg was a 3D printing nerd. Can I work here lol

Reminds me of working with cold header machines to make bolts and screws. Except we were feeding the wire in, running it through the straighteners, and then hauling buckets of screws off at the end.

Can I get to know where you purchase and assemble this set of machine? And, how much will it cost?

I never imagined it was such a process to make a plastic string

bro i was wondering why my filament is wet

Giant team of one, congratulations.

shame it got cut off.

That's quite a bit of waste, and quite an line. Seems like running it 24/7 makes more sense than restarting it daily. That is quite a bit of wasted plastics.

Very cool. Do you run the waste spools through a pelletizer or shredder so that it can be remelted in the extruder and recycled? It's all totally clean and containment-free after all!

Thats too much sh_t to worry about for me. But thats still Cool. You are very skilled.

How much does a line like this cost today?

I guess it never settled in

I need ASA 🙂

Hello, I am producing 3D filament in Azerbaijan, but I am experiencing problems during production. Can you help me?

Cool vid what is the pallet grinder you are using or do you buy in pre made coloured stock ?

Yawn….. try doing that with a 6 filament extruder head. That’s where the challenge is. And I did that 28 years ago.

Thanks for the vid! I work as an interpreter and your work really helped me to understand the process.

In my extrusion production (not filament), we placed a mark on the end, so we know where to look from.

Just want to thank you for sharing such a beast of a process. It is very educative and high quality material you cannot stumble randomly. Appreciate it!

Clean your water trays! Thank God your not making medical tubes...

Show us the roundness

what dyes do you use?

Muy bien David si quisiera poner algo de esto las dos últimas máquinas y la primera con una canaleta qué precio sería también una de las que van por encima con todo lo que tienes cuánto costaría gracias un saludo

cool stuff...
downside....
lot of made in china products..

god you couldnt pay me enough to tolerate that alarm

that machine looks new(ish) but why does the worker have to do so much of the process themselves qhen soany other extruders do all of it on their own 😭😭😭
