  • Ender-3 Direct Drive Upgrade Kit | F3DPS Ep 4.04

    [ENDER-3 DIRECT DRIVE KIT GIVEAWAY]

    Check YouTube for contest instructions.
    We have been selling the Basaraba upgrade kits for almost 6 months and figured it would be good to do a podcast about them. The current kits cover the Ender-3, CR-10 and Ender-5 printers, but several other printers are compatible. We cover some background, running changes, mods and potential future bundles for the kits.
    Big thanks to Matthew Basaraba and ratherbe_flyin for the photos and contributions. Get your own kit here.

  • Holiday 3D Prints | F3DPS Ep 4.02

    We printed off some things for our Christmas tree! There wasn't much out there for Kwanzaa so we designed a kinara (candle holder).

    We also have a new member on the Fargo 3D Printing team (Brandon) and he will show up on more podcasts in the future.
    Here all all the prints we talked about:
    Thingiverse
    MyMiniFactory
    Brandon's Instagram
    Topics for the future:
    Mosaic Manufacturing's Palette 2, Creality Ender-3 upgrades, MakerBot Method printer
    *Sorry this one isn't great for audio. We suggest checking out the video too*

  • We're Back? | F3DPS Ep 4.01

    We're still around, just haven't been posting anything on YouTube!

    Between losing a few team members and moving to a new location, we've stayed pretty busy.

    Not certain on the format, but hopefully we'll start creating more content in the near future. Thanks to everyone who reached out during our hiatus!

    The repair side of the business is now a separate entity named "Fargo 3D Printer Repair."

  • High Temp SLA Cookie Cutter and Til Pitha (Indian Dessert) | F3DPS Ep 3.06

    We shot this podcast back in November (some elements are from August). Despite the late upload, we were excited to share this one!

    Cookie cutters aren't new to 3d printing, but we'd never designed one before. While designing a custom cookie cutter for Impact Dakota, Eric made an emoji cutter just for fun.
    With cleanliness in mind, we made a high temp SLA cookie cutter as well to see if we could make it sanitary without melting it. We didn't put it in the dishwasher, but we did boil it. Despite slight warping which was probably avoidable, it boiled just fine! High Temp resin isn't foodsafe but after talking with Formlabs, we felt safe using it for this purpose.

    One of our summer interns (Rit) tried to make a device to aid in making Til Pitha, an Indian dessert. It's similar to a crepe or cannoli, but made out of rice powder and sesame seeds. It needs to be round and flat, so he modified a pancake pourer with 3D printed parts. Unfortunately, two iterations wasn't enough and Rit had to go back to school. Still had some fun and learned along the way!

  • CES 2018 Wrapup | F3DPS Ep 3.05

    A bit late, but here's our CES 2018 wrapup!

    This year the 3D printing section of CES was significantly smaller and in a different location. The quality of the booths was very good, but many larger companies had no presence at all.
    We talk about booths that you may have seen in some of our previous videos, but also a few that we didn't get formal interviews with.
    Markforged has new materials and had a live tensile test of one of their printed parts.
    Da Vinci showed off their CJP machine and a da Vinci Color with a built in scanner.
    Astroreality had their full product line on display. Definitely recommend going for the LUNAR Pro if you are looking to purchase.
    In the Formlabs booth, we forgot to ask about their new color kit.

  • CES 2018 Preview | F3DPS Ep 3.04

    We'll be back at CES in about a week!

    Although it's fun to get out of town and check out new tech, it appears that the benefit of attending CES is diminishing (for 3D printing at least). We'll see how it compares to RAPID + TCT this year and decide which event to attend in the future.
    Some companies we're excited to check out:
    XYZ Printing - da Vinci Color
    Astroreality - AR + high quality moon model
    Lunar Indiegogo
    CRP - 3D printing and windforming
    Anet - cheap, effective 3D printers
    Flux Delta - delta printer with interchangeable head and strange marketing
    STL editing in Fusion 360

  • MD&M Minneapolis | F3DPS Ep 3.03

    Last month, Eric and some of the F3DP team went to a trade show called Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) in Minneapolis. Desktop Metal, Stratasys and 3D Systems were all well represented.

    Our first and favorite booth was RP America. They are resellers of UnionTech, Rize and Desktop Metal. They also work with an electroplating company called RePliForm.

    We saw another booth called Productivity. They are a machine tool supplier which had Desktop Metal, Stratasys and a FOBA laser on display.

    A few FaroArms were also on display. Two booths: one for reverse engineering, one for inspection/analysis.

    Marcus went into a bit more detail about Rize.

  • The 3D Hubs Debacle | F3DPS Ep 3.02

    A few months ago, 3D Hubs introduced the "Express Checkout." It was a way to streamline the checkout process for newer, less experienced users. Although it may have been a great fit for some, advanced users and the hubs themselves were not pleased.

    50 hubs were chosen by 3D Hubs to do the bulk of these orders and would be chosen automatically. Due to an error in the hub auto-selection, Fargo 3D Printing ended up getting a deluge of orders. We just couldn't keep up.

    Although the Express Checkout has since been updated, it has alienated a large amount of smaller hubs. We will continue using 3D Hubs in the future but are currently not focusing on custom 3D printing.

  • Hangprinter + DVD Build Plate | F3DPS Ep 3.01

    Long time no see! We return with "season 3" and a fresh face.

    Eric Falde is back with new cohost Marcus Moldaschel, a mechanical engineering student at NDSU.
    First, we look at an experimental printer that Marcus assembled. The Hangprinter is an open source printer that hangs from the ceiling and can essentially print objects as large as the space it's installed in. Marcus didn't have great luck, but did manage to get it to print. It's updated fairly often, so check the development blog for running changes.

    Also, someone left a DVD collection at the shop and Eric decided that "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days" would make a good build surface. It worked a lot better than expected!

  • Belt Printers and Polar 3D | F3DPS Ep 2.19

    John and Eric compare two very similar printers which emerged around the same time: BLACKBELT 3D and Printrbelt.

    BLACKBELT is a Kickstarter printer that was funded back in July and looks to be a good fit for a printing bureau.

    The Printrbelt is a combo of Printrbot hardware and Polar 3D software, seemingly aimed at hobbyists.
    Both feature a belt as the build plate which effectively allows for an infinite build size in the Z-axis.
