00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,279
at Creator Warehouse we like using printers with a lot of detail but one of

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:08,719
the downsides is they're really slow the form four from form Labs claims it can

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:13,639
solve that problem by having most prints done in less than 2 hours let's open it

4
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,639
up and find

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,480
out getting first eyes on this it looks super sleek and it's pretty simple

6
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:27,199
packaging inside it is just the printer some cables resin tank and a resin mixer

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:34,000
some other things they sent us were some of their resins so we have a black V5

8
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,520
a elastic 50a which is almost like a

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,920
rubber and then a clear resin which we're going to be printing with today

10
00:00:37,879 --> 00:00:44,160
and it's been a week unfortunately the first printer we got sent had a crack in

11
00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:48,079
the back of the cover so we had to get it swapped out the RMA was super easy

12
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,719
through form laabs and they got it to us within 3 or 4 days for resin printers

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,760
you want to make sure that they're level the main reason for that is so that the

14
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:59,000
thickness of resin that you're dealing with is consistent across the tank this

15
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:03,039
printer has a built-in accelerometer or gyroscope that helps you level it next

16
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:06,760
step is putting the resin tank in slots in and they have two little retention

17
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:13,720
Clips on the sides we are looking at the mixer open up the clip slide it in Click

18
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:18,280
lver to lift up slide in and lock into place next up putting

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,920
in the resin just take it out of the bag and slide it into the

20
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,960
receptacle I just went through and confirmed that all the internals are ready to go and the last thing to tell

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:31,280
you about is our sponsor secret lab and their Titan Evo chair which not only

22
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:35,159
looks great but emphasizes ergonomic comfort with four-way lumbar support a

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,520
sculpted Pebble seat base and multi-directional adjustable armrests

24
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:41,799
and if you want to switch up the vibe their skins can give the chair a whole

25
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:45,200
new unique look so check out the Titan Evo gaming chair at the link down below

26
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,600
here we're looking at pre-form which is form lab slicing software it's pretty

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,840
straightforward to use for especially their SLA printers and it does most of

28
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,280
the work for you which is pretty nice all right I've got the two parts in I

29
00:01:54,439 --> 00:02:00,960
will just have it autogenerate the supports for me their slicer is quite

30
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,159
good at generating ports to make them easy to remove and also very sufficient

31
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,000
for holding your parts sturdy enough while they're printing so for the

32
00:02:06,399 --> 00:02:11,760
selector you can see there's a bunch around the outside edge and then a whole

33
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:15,519
bunch of internal supports to support overhanging features I located these

34
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:19,920
specifically because I cared about the outer surfaces more preform naturally

35
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,080
orients them in a slightly different way you can kind of massage things around

36
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:26,160
depending on what parts of your part you care about more all right now that we've

37
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:32,960
got everything sliced up let's send it over to the printer and get it started

38
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:44,959
printer finished up let's take a look O It's So Clean look how clear it

39
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:46,680
is wow yeah wow yeah is this a new one

40
00:02:44,959 --> 00:02:50,599
yeah this is a new one it's very expensive holy can I just touch it or

41
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,800
see you're wearing gloves yeah do not touch the resins are not great to just

42
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,599
handle is it done being cured or no no I wouldn't like stick your head in it

43
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:05,560
right like I was doing before that you let me do some Safety Committee guy here

44
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,080
got him looks pretty clean still have

45
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:11,159
some washing and curing to do so I'm going to take this off there and we'll

46
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:17,920
see you after and we're back with some cleaned up parts so we have our 3x

47
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,680
selector our 3x end cap and I threw a

48
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:26,000
handle on Just for good measure as well looking at the parts initially they look

49
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,879
great the top surface is like a

50
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:34,080
mirror it's crazy taking a look at the rest of the parts even on the side faces

51
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:38,040
it's pretty smooth I know you can actually fully polish these parts and I

52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,920
took a little bit of a buffing wheel to parts of the handle didn't want to spend

53
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,200
too too much time on it but I was able to get a pretty good mirror finish even

54
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,720
on the side some of the normal things you do have to deal with for SLA is all

55
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:54,360
of the attachment points which are kind of annoying to get off but if you have

56
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:59,120
the patience and some sandpaper and scraping it's definitely doable but

57
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:05,159
overall the clarity of the clear resin that form s has is wild and the print

58
00:04:02,519 --> 00:04:09,840
time is pretty spectacular too for the two of these it was around 2 and 1/2

59
00:04:07,159 --> 00:04:15,480
hours total and then for the handle we were looking more like three which for a

60
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,400
part this big is really quick all in all

61
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:22,840
the parts that came out are super clear look amazing and fit together like I'd

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,160
expect from a printer like this the last thing to talk about for this printer is

63
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:32,600
the price and they are not cheap the printer starts at 4,500 us but to make

64
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,960
full use of the system and be able to work with it nicely you're going to need

65
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,639
to spend closer to 6600 to get a curing station and a wash station you can make

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,600
do with just the printer and have everything else done manually by you but

67
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,840
it's going to be a lot of extra work and a lot of extra cleanup working with the

68
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Cure and wash stations makes it a lot easier faster and safer to work with

69
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:58,560
these resins having used formlabs printers before and now this one it's

70
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:02,280
definitely a useful tool for the topend pro suumer and

71
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,440
lower level professional use we would end up making pretty good use of a

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,840
printer like this both for video production and for product development

73
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,560
in the create a warehouse side as a single individual it's a bit of a tough

74
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,880
sell thanks for watching this ShortCircuit if you like this and wanted to
