I love how you can see the days and nights passing through the window.

Dude.. What printer is that? Mine is ok but that print quality and no droop on the overhang

Having a 3D printer myself I was just waiting for it to fail 3/4 though
dadoftwo
Wait a second, the dish is round when it’s 3D printed and than square at the end! Something’s fishy!

Movie idea: culture that prints spaceships on demand (like this). No need for storage. Ship returns, converted to compact energy storage.
RedDwarfIV
At first I thought you meant movies should have 3D printed prop spacecraft. The realistic look of a model, with the expenndability of CGI
Mewmus
that's actually how the federation makes most of their ships, huge ass replicators

Shit I forgot to hit record.

You must have really trusted your printer to do this!

Twenty years from now we'll be laughing at how long these slow-ass printers took. Ten days, BWAAAHAHAHAHA

I remember downloading the Doom shareware installer on a 2400 baud modem. File was 4MB, I think. Took pretty much all day.
MrPredator
Shit I remember downloading some... ehh, files off the internet that would take 5hrs on dialup. Now, god I love me some 200mbps speed.
FuckingPhony
and 20 years after that, we will be laughing at 3D printer.... Or the world at some point already vaporized.
IAmTiredOfRacismAndAnger
some years from now they will print from any molecule they like, ta da, replicators
GerberLegalTeam
That much time in the print but the 3d model doesn't have enough polygons to look smooth once printed.
firebolt26ax
I hope Imgur remains after 20 years... I would want to come back to your comment and show it to the then people.
MetroidJunkie
20 years from now, they'll probably have 3D printers that can move as fast as it appears to be going in this timeline.
Janusha
Obviously. Its early days.
ilyfe979
A CD use to take a few hours if you had those "speedy" 2x speed ones
whencatsattack64
When people say they miss the good ole days, slow ass printers are one damn thing I don't miss. Dot-matrix printers & dial-up *shudder*
TransmissionVector
Faster methods already exist.
flavinbagel
Super-fast 3D printing, especially at scale, has HUGE industrial potential compared to now. Someone will figure it out.

I feel like a few years down the line itll take as long as this gif did

course then they gotta grow you a new body, stick you in a sim, or delete you, so its considered rude to do it too often
StarmineRendezvous
Who knows, if we are still flesh and blood, by that time we may not care about what our body is like, and just use mass production ones.
MetroidJunkie
And then someone will screw up and accidentally open up a portal into Hell. All I have to say after that is, rip and tear until it is done.
GlassCannon570
Yep. *reloads shotgun*
MetroidJunkie
Silly person, the only reloading Doom has is ripping through something with a chainsaw to reload your ammo.

I remember a Jetsons cartoon when George’s boss looks out the window and sees a 3D printer build a building in 5 seconds and says 1/2

He remembers back in his day when it took an hour to build an entire building.

This. I used to have binders full of CDs because they were cheaper than HDDs when you bought stacks of 50-100 CDs on sale.

That was a little after but yeah, I had literal books of completely legal copies of things.

Yes, books full of legal "digital back-ups"

How much $$$? (Power, filaments)
LiamNeesonOfficial
Materials cost is a fraction of labor cost. You need to keep an eye and ear on that machine the entire time. $1,700 labor for min wage dude.
Screwyluie
not really. use a remote camera and just check up on it once in awhile.
QuackQuackAttack
Need to include 10 days of that machine. Cap equip cost goes into normal factory, needs to go into this too.
escthectrler
Cheaper than Lego
SquidBait
What isn't? :)
FBKatB3TAdotcom
Serious Q what happens if there is a power cut? Will it resume from its point if power loss automatically?
Screwyluie
depends on the printer and the setup. some printers resume. Most people use a UPS for prints this long to keep it from happening
theproblemofbeingfasterthanlightisthatyoucanonlyliveindarkness
no unfortunately it doesn't resume
Drarra
Highly depends on the model >_> The machines costing 10-100K like this one, resumes for sure. The 200$ hobby models rather not.
Drarra
In the industry, an UPS is standard anyways.
DisenfranchisedSovietBear
I was thinking the same thing. Then OP could post half of a millenium falcon
plainoldusername
New kit for mine that will be here in January will resume
TanithRosenbaum
3kg filament costs about $80 to $120 for the standard polymers. Power should be around $10 (assuming 100W draw). So $100-$150, give or take.
esparadrapo
9 days * 24h * 0.1Kw * 0.2€/$ per Kwh = 4.32 €/$
TanithRosenbaum
I ran 10 days * 24h * 0.1kW * 0.25$/kWh = $6, and rounded up to "about $10", considering the large unknowns here (kWh-price, power draw)
FartPoweredPogoStick
Nowadays PLA filament is much better quality for the super cheap stuff. Amazon sells 1kg rolls for around 10 bucks. 1/?
FartPoweredPogoStick
The power is going to be similar to running a computer with high end hardware. That printer is home made, and would probably cost a LOT 2/?
FartPoweredPogoStick
of time and money to build. You're better off having it printed for you off shapeways. If you're interested in 3d printing I would 3/?
FartPoweredPogoStick
suggest getting an ender2 or creality cr-10 as they are cheap, newbie friendly and print very high quality for the price. 4/4
DreadPierateRoberts
Half the fun is getting it to work
SharlayTheBarbarian
Yes, but most people aren't going to run the cheaper stuff through their printer on a long print like that, too much risk of clogging.
FartPoweredPogoStick
Clogs are caused by dust and other contaminants getting into the extruder. I've been using the cheap stuff for years with no clogs. 1/2
FartPoweredPogoStick
The worst you get with filament nowadays is inconsistencies with thickness and air bubbles, the quality is much better. 2/2
SharlayTheBarbarian
No trouble with inconsistent filament diameter, air bubbles or brittleness? What brand are you buying please?
FartPoweredPogoStick
Several different brands, ZiRO from amazon is one of my favorites. They have flash sales for their filaments. And no, I haven't had 1/2
NOlesen
3 rolls of 2.2 pounds of grey pla filiamnt 15 dollars a roll. 45 + say 3 bucks of power to run the 3d printer
schrodingersasymmetric12gauge
If your printer, computer, and lights use a total of 100 watts avg you're at about $3.50 for 10 days of power....
DreadPierateRoberts
Running off a raspberry pi
flavinbagel
That's not a bad price for 7 pounds of WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT.
QuackQuackAttack
And ten days rental on the machine?
SharlayTheBarbarian
I'm sure he's in the 20-30 price range if it's PLA, and closer to 50 a roll for the better stuff. 15$ rolls are questionable at best.
shinydev
And on a long print you don’t want to risk shitty filament.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Way cheaper than the Lego equivalent
CausticCake
$1 of power is more than enough to run the 3D printer for a while, and you can get 5 lb reels for cheaper. prob $35 total
enkrs
Yeah but getting the cheaper filament will most likely muck up the print though
SharlayTheBarbarian
I'm using the 24$ 1kg rolls of PLA on mine, and it can still have quality control problems. That's with a lot of mods to the printer too.
FancyGiraffes
Wow, much better than expected. I was expecting about as much as just buying a real space ship.
eetsumkaus
Probably not. That ship is GARBAGE
MadMupp
Dont forget paints to make it look decent
msa011
I bet it's cheaper than painting a Warhammer army!
Partytor
*Cries in empty wallets and boxes full of unpainted minies*
Ktraveller
I really doubt they were using 15$ pla. Because this guy seems to know what hes doin. And 15$ pla is shit
Th3Lionheart
Plus the thousands of dollars for a printer that can handle a print of this size, much less have accuracy without support material!
NOlesen
This did not count the cost of the printer. A 500 $l delta printer could do it. Just not that big.
Th3Lionheart
Yeah, size of print is a big thing with cost of printer. I really want to get a decent printer for my house, but the size of bed n mat type
DreadPierateRoberts
Couple hundred
Th3Lionheart
I would legitimately like to know where i can get that printer. The one i work with at work has heated bed and costed $$$$$hitloads
DreadPierateRoberts
I have a shity Pursa A8 has heated bed and such. You can get good prints if willing to tinker with it
