00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.279
at Creator Warehouse we like using printers with a lot of detail but one of

00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:08.719
the downsides is they're really slow the form four from form Labs claims it can

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

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:13.639
up and find

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.480
out getting first eyes on this it looks super sleek and it's pretty simple

00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:27.199
packaging inside it is just the printer some cables resin tank and a resin mixer

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

00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:36.520
a elastic 50a which is almost like a

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.920
rubber and then a clear resin which we're going to be printing with today

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

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

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

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

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:59.000
thickness of resin that you're dealing with is consistent across the tank this

00:00:57.160 --> 00:01:03.039
printer has a built-in accelerometer or gyroscope that helps you level it next

00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:06.760
step is putting the resin tank in slots in and they have two little retention

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

00:01:10.759 --> 00:01:18.280
lver to lift up slide in and lock into place next up putting

00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:21.920
in the resin just take it out of the bag and slide it into the

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

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:31.280
you about is our sponsor secret lab and their Titan Evo chair which not only

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:35.159
looks great but emphasizes ergonomic comfort with four-way lumbar support a

00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:38.520
sculpted Pebble seat base and multi-directional adjustable armrests

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

00:01:40.119 --> 00:01:45.200
new unique look so check out the Titan Evo gaming chair at the link down below

00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:49.600
here we're looking at pre-form which is form lab slicing software it's pretty

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.840
straightforward to use for especially their SLA printers and it does most of

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

00:01:54.439 --> 00:02:00.960
will just have it autogenerate the supports for me their slicer is quite

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:05.159
good at generating ports to make them easy to remove and also very sufficient

00:02:03.320 --> 00:02:08.000
for holding your parts sturdy enough while they're printing so for the

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:11.760
selector you can see there's a bunch around the outside edge and then a whole

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:15.519
bunch of internal supports to support overhanging features I located these

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:19.920
specifically because I cared about the outer surfaces more preform naturally

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:23.080
orients them in a slightly different way you can kind of massage things around

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

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:32.960
got everything sliced up let's send it over to the printer and get it started

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

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:46.680
is wow yeah wow yeah is this a new one

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

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:55.800
see you're wearing gloves yeah do not touch the resins are not great to just

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

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:05.560
right like I was doing before that you let me do some Safety Committee guy here

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.080
got him looks pretty clean still have

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

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

00:03:14.040 --> 00:03:19.680
selector our 3x end cap and I threw a

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:26.000
handle on Just for good measure as well looking at the parts initially they look

00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:28.879
great the top surface is like a

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

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:38.040
it's pretty smooth I know you can actually fully polish these parts and I

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

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

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

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:54.360
of the attachment points which are kind of annoying to get off but if you have

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:59.120
the patience and some sandpaper and scraping it's definitely doable but

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:05.159
overall the clarity of the clear resin that form s has is wild and the print

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

00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:15.480
hours total and then for the handle we were looking more like three which for a

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:18.400
part this big is really quick all in all

00:04:15.480 --> 00:04:22.840
the parts that came out are super clear look amazing and fit together like I'd

00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:27.160
expect from a printer like this the last thing to talk about for this printer is

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

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

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

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:44.600
do with just the printer and have everything else done manually by you but

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

00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:53.400
Cure and wash stations makes it a lot easier faster and safer to work with

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.560
these resins having used formlabs printers before and now this one it's

00:04:56.520 --> 00:05:02.280
definitely a useful tool for the topend pro suumer and

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:05.440
lower level professional use we would end up making pretty good use of a

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.840
printer like this both for video production and for product development

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

00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.880
sell thanks for watching this ShortCircuit if you like this and wanted to
