Happy accident? Finally printed the Stormtrooper helmet I wanted for years on my new Voron 2.4. Turns out the maximum z height in the slicer and printer config didn't match and the Voron stopped a couple of mm before the end. Though wearing it this way gives it quite a unique look 😂

Cold Pull Monday #5: 15% Carbon Fiber Nylon (PA6) cold pulled from an E3D Revo 0.4 mm. The hairy/fluffy stuff is IMO polymer hairs because you can clearly see the much bigger embedded carbon fibers if you look closely.

Broken off filament looks even more impressive. Here you can see the nicely aligned carbon fibers embedded in the polymer matrix of the 1.75mm filament. The nylon looks quite bright due to the lighting.

Machined my most complex project to date. Prototype of an electric guitar body for a friend. Two-sided 3D machining beauty thanks to Fusion 360 on the Mekanika EVO S. 4 tools, 2h complete cycle time. Super happy with the results!

0.4mm E3D REVO nozzle after printing ABS Voron parts for 210h.

Hacked together a motorized macro rail this morning. Still needs to be put on a proper PCB and some user-friendly software but the results with it are NEXT Level!

Cold Pull Monday #4: Protopasta Empire Strikes Metallic Black HTPLA.
Beautiful hexagonal sparkly particles and a very interesting, rough surface texture on the roll!

No need for an expensive second set of nozzles for your Volcano Hotend anymore! Just mount your standard V6 nozzles with our Volcano Adapter on your Volcano Hotend! Finally available on CNCKITCHEN.STORE ! This adapter cannot only save you money but paired with CHT nozzle will even increase the melting performance of your setup!

Cold Pull Monday #3: Recycled PLA, which contained a metal chip that blocked the 0.40 mm nozzle at some point. Just one of the reasons why recycling old prints from unknown sources is challenging.

DIY recycled PLA cold-pulled on my Prusa Mk3 from a 0.40 mm E3D V6 nozzle.

Cheap nozzle from a $1 for 5 pack. The shiny surface is probably the result of a tumbler deburring process. It masks some of the bad machining but also causes an inward burr on the or***ce. This might be the reason for the bad print results.

Beautify macro shot of the Olsson Ruby HT 3D printing nozzle. Boron Carbide coated copper nozzle with a Ruby tip for minimum wear and high temperature capabilities.

Cold Pull Monday #1: 3DJake MagicPLA Deep Space pulled through a Bondtech CHT high flow nozzle installed on an E3D Hemera.

1/8" carbide endmill after three hours of hardwood machining. Some of the coating wore off but it's still damn sharp!

I just loooove macro photography!

Waaait a minute!? Something looks a bit off right here!

Which color would you chose?
Version 2 of the CETUS adapter board just arrived today. This PCB allows you to easily upgrade an old Cetus 3D printer with a modern mainboard. If there's enough interest I'll put some up for sale on my shop!

I’m pretty excited to announce that we are finally launching our first products (currently EU only): https://geni.us/CNCKitchenInserts ! Due to the constantly increasing demand for high-quality heat-set inserts, we’ve been looking for a reliable partner to manufacture them for us. After half a year of proper research and testing, we found a suitable candidate and have now received the first batch!

For the moment, you can purchase our threaded inserts from many EU countries on AMAZON. We’re working hard to make them available worldwide and will keep you posted on the progress!

We currently have the typical M3, M4, and M5 inserts in stock, as well as short versions of them if you’re working with more filigree parts. Due to popular demand, we also have 1/4”-20 inserts used as camera threads on most consumer cameras and your GoPro.

Let us know if you like them, and if you purchase a bag, please leave an honest review on AMAZON!
I've also created a blog post with additional tips on how to properly use the inserts: https://geni.us/CNCKInsertsTips

The VORON V0 is starting to take shape.

Banana for scale.

Finally started moving into my new studio / office. 3x the space I had before and private cleaning personal is included as well 😉 still a lot of stuff to do but I'm getting there.
Check out our new Christmas merch at teespring.com/stores/cnckitchen or using the link in the bio.

I finally managed to make some really cool looking available!

This is 3D printed, dual-material filament with a hull out of ABS and a PC core. An impressive example of laminar during the extrusion, because the pattern stays the same after it left the 0.4mm nozzle. No mixing happening!

3D printing 3D printing filament?! 🤯
Yes, and with a twist! This is some multi - material filament printed on the Toolchanger. Looking for some really interesting research results 🤓

Drilling a 0.4mm hole can be quite scary but in the end, was easier than I thought, even on my Mini Lathe that's not aligned perfectly.

Finally bought myself a Mini Lathe. Been setting it up the last days and this is the first 3D printer nozzle that I machined myself. Not perfect but a decent start, I guess. Note that tiny 0.4mm hole in the front that I had to drill!

My 3D printed Settlers of Catan set is progressing really well! Outstanding multi color print done on the Toolchanger!

Been 3D printing face shields for a week now and my workshop is becoming more and more messed up. Maybe it's the time to take a short break tomorrow and tidy everything up. 👨‍🔧

Extruder screw of the Pellet Extruder V4. Currently running the first tests with it on my CR-10. Will I become a believer in direct pellet extrusion? Stay tuned!

Polishing up the extrusion screw on my filament extruder in the hope for a bit better performance. Next step is going to be searing it with canola oil to give it a nice, non-stick surface.
Thanks for all of the advice regarding extrusion!

Finally back extruding my own filament! First attempt after a good year. Still need to tune everything back in but hopefully you'll see new content soon.

Putting an electronics project in very small spaces can be quite challenging, but I think I succeeded so far!
Look forward to this really cool project. BTW - did I ever tell you that I love real data?
