Real 3D Printed Products Using Vase Mode | Bene bFRIENDS | Design For Production 3D Printing

This. their and this specific design approach to 3d prints is what I follw you guys for! The "facts" not those pesky artifacts ofc, of fdm like the layer lines and surfaces, is what we 3d makers have to valorize! There are already enough copies of whatever out there!

Just found your channel, really enjoying these insights!

Thanks

Woah! I am going to use these ideas in my own designs, I hope they are okay with others using the thick layer line style and vase mode like them. I'm not going to recreate their parts, of course, but still, these design companies can be territorial

Great video, clean and informative.
Would've been nice to have some products in hand.
However i liked and subscribed open hearted because I didn't hear "loke and subscribe". Hope it applies to all your videos.

really enjoying these production part examples, would love to see more

I was loving the whole thing, till I watched their promotional video. Dudes made it look like they invented vase mode as an design manifestation for their product, they took credit for everything on source communityhas built into this process, vase mode, recycling plastic, they tal like they even created PLA. Beatifull product, clown owners/representatives... no thanks, not even recommending someone so dishonest about things.

Sierpinski Pyramid for the win!
Please make a similar video about technical prints. Some complex shapes are either impossible or extremely expensive to make via manufacturing methods other than FDM.

they have an excellent manufacturing approach!

Those are cool. Nice design work. Thanks for sharing

Tons of our parts use vase mode. It's a great technique for automated 3D printing. Very reliable, no retractions, and really good for large nozzles.

You probably can’t tell but I pushed the Like button 4 or 5 times during this video.

This channel is becoming one of my favorite… a pragmatic way to use 3d printing in real life… pls continue to do this! Only problem is the frustration to not having yet found/designed a 3d product to sell 😊

I like those takes on interesting possibilities lately. Additive manufacturing has so much potential and I feel like we are now at the point where the potential is beeing explored. It really is the breakthrough technology of our time like integrated circuits and TTL logic were in the 60s to the 90s. 3D printing has reached it's "peak excitement" phase and it is going to stay.

I can't un-see bFRIENDS logo....

This is really cool... I wonder if you can get an interview with them?

How large of a nozzle do they use. They look really cool!

Vase mode restricts the printer at one part at a time. Do you see this as a disadvantage?

I love hacking vase mode. I've used this design technique for all kinds of containers, enclosures, planters, seed starting trays, etc. Makes a nice looking result, and best of all it reduces print time by a lot because it is easy to maximize your hotend flow rate, without having to worry about how fast your printer can move. So it even works great with inexpensive bed slingers. You need only a high flow hotend and good extruder. Much more cost effective approach than super rigid structure and high speed kinematics.

Alas...at such moments you have to remind yourself that when you think you have come up with something original or inventive, its probable that someone else has thought about it too. My take out of this is asking myself how can one build upon such a design and make it "their own", or improving on it...This is the case in point for 3d printing oriented design. Embrace the layers and make them part of the design (i think that the potetnial with surface texture may come well into play here)

Gorgeous!

Beautiful!!!
