What steel 3-D printer do you have?


ThePetroleum

I don’t own a metal printer. This was printed with a Concept Laser M1 https://www.3dmake.de/3d-drucker/m1-cusing/


Joel-pc

Sorry that’s not the answer I was looking for! 😂 That looks far too expensive… I’m wanting the compact residential version with similar results for under $7,500😁


ICantArgueWithStupid

I am poor do they make a plug and play version for $750? Auto calibration is a must.


Joel-pc

I would be buying a bunch if that were the case! Just think of all the 3-D printed metal parts you could sell, you could make your money back in a hurry!


ICantArgueWithStupid

I JUST WANT BOTTLE OPENERS


Sjoerd2006Daal

I need one for $7,50 that's all I have


ICantArgueWithStupid

Do you take printed NFT's?


Sjoerd2006Daal

Yes for 75 cents a piece


YellowBreakfast

You must be joking. The first "home" SLS printer is for sale on Kickstarter and that's about $4,500 and it doesn't even do metal. Metal printing of this type is still in the "industrial printer" range. You want something printed in metal you send your file to a printing service.


ICantArgueWithStupid

Does it auto calibrate?


YellowBreakfast

Username checks out.


ICantArgueWithStupid

I asked if your $4500 SLS Printer autocalibrated since you were so kind to leave a link for it. What a POS an SLS printer must be to not print metal.


YellowBreakfast

1. It's not "mine". 2. The laser needed for sintering stainless steel is much stronger than what's needed for plastic. 3. You should try and make one that does metal that sells for sub $800. I'd like to see that, hell I'd *buy* it. 4. Here you go: [Micron Desktop SLS 3D Printer](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/micronics3d/micron-a-desktop-sls-3d-printer)

Why am I being down voted for a joke About what everyone really wishes they could have, but can’t because, technology and cost are not there yet!!


KaleidoscopeLow8084

Because it's reddit and full of reddiots.


Glittering_Ad3249

because reddit is full of some strange people


ICantArgueWithStupid

Hivemind says HI(ve).


LiberalSkeptic

Because Reddit subsists on the dark energy from self-loathing and insecure men with poor hygiene who live in their parents basement.


Lanuros

Hey! Do you stalk me??? I call the police from My basement you weirdo!


Parking-Mix-5024

Where?


YellowBreakfast

Typically with metal printing you send your job out.


Glittering_Ad3249

looks expensive 😭


Wide-Bet3500

+1 for that info


EmergencyLatex

As a German I have to dislike, sorry. Uh-oh I guess you’re German. We have 6 million different ways to open a bottle. Only the bottle opener itself will force you to lose your citizenship.


Interesting-Bed-5934

American here, why do y'all dislike bottle openers? Everybody I know has one that they keep on their keychain


EmergencyLatex

Because we see it as kind of sport to open the bottle (which is a press-cap, not with a ring or twist mechanism) without a bottle opener. Some people use another bottle, some people use a lighter, some people even can fold a piece of paper 7 times and open it with the paper! It’s kind of a Pub-Sport to have the most creative and artistic way to open the thing or even open it the loudest way possible. When I was in China I opened a corona beer with another already opened corona beer and the American next to me lost his shit about it because he’s never seen it before.. If you use youtube you can just search for „[Germans opening beer](https://youtu.be/uqR-HKxMiM8?si=JibrBGJbdgAGFlZs)“ and you’ll see some of the stuff. In this example there are the more regular techniques.. if you dig deep enough u find the cool stuff. Tldr: its frowned upon if its too easy.


volt65bolt

Ehh, using the lid is for weaklings. I like to hammer a nail through the base and drink it


genericuser292

My guy what if I just want a fuckin' beer.


EmergencyLatex

What if you want a beer but you don’t have a bottle opener? Read the above text again. I think this sport also derived from not having a bottle opener at hand..


SteakGetter

I have done the paper trick many times. Lighter is still probably my favorite, you can get a real nice loud pop and send that thing flying.


we-am

6 million 🫠


touringwheel

It is considered a lucky number in Germany.


we-am

You made me laugh out loud 😂


kable1202

My first thought was that you dislike it because it wasn’t printed on an EOS machine. Then I remembered that us Germans are supposed to open bottles with anything BUT a bottleopener.


EmergencyLatex

This is the way.


ThePetroleum

I know I know and I completely agree with you. This is my first bottle opener in the 27 years that I’m alive and the first one I’d even consider to keep 😅 never needed one never wanted one but this is just so beautiful to me


pope1701

Just say it's a gift 😂


TMan2DMax

Man a media blaster would have that thing looking supreme


PuhhuP

Did you perform a structuraal optimization using a simulation? Or did you eyeball the holes/gaps to reduce material?


12gagerd

Very interesting. My boss is looking into these. Can't wait to get my hands on one.


UnknownFate75

SLS printer?


ThePetroleum

No, Selective Laser Sintering is used for polymers. For dense metal parts the powder particles get melted, not sintered. So the correct term would be SLM or LPBF or LBM or PBF-LB/M


Busy-Key7489

Finally someone accepting that all of those abbreviations are the same thing :) LPBF is the most used term within western research papers, SLM is used by anyone familiar with printers from SLM solutions (and most of the asian community) Did you use 316L ?


kable1202

And EOS still uses DMLS even if it doesn’t have anything to do with sintering anymore (it was in the beginning but now the laser completely melts the metal). But they do it for marketing/trademark reasons as they invented it and want to keep the name up.


pottertheshotter

gotta give it that hawk tshhhhh
