- the "penniless open source creators", to give to you;
- the "users" that cannot creat anything we do, but can create other things with what we created, hopefully:
programs,
machines,
concepts,
art,
and systems;
that in the proprietary world cost millions that you never ever in your life time will have and neither will we have.
And we do that for pennies or for free most of times.
That is how you can now have a 3D printer for less than 1% of the same machine was sold by Stratasys and their proprietary type of businesses untill a decade ago.
Or Free CAD or Blender or VLC, that outmatch many corporate paid programs and allow you, the technically analphabet user to create and use and enjoy things, concepts and creations that would of being locked up in a tall ivory tower out of your reach for ever if it was for the corporate lords and the way they think of you; simple monkies toying around in the mud.
We know the Chinese are making a steal using our work without direct compensation to us by stealing our work and mass producing it for dirty cheap making a nice living out of it for themselves, but we do have indirect compensation;
... we live to see our design and development mass produced by them for cheap for you; despite Stratsys and the likes (or yaykes) of them.
We also beneficiate in return of cheap components of other people's "creations in open source" that enables us to make more innovations and inventions that otherwise we could of never being able to buy at corporate prices, hence our ideas would of died inside us before even being born, kind off like the Leonardo Da Vinci's helicopter that he never lived to see in flight, but for different corporate reasons.
no need for supports for overhanging is the easiest to immagine, especially inside cavities where cleansing them is if not impossible at least really difficult,
- to the simple fact that ... layer adhesion matters, unless if you can also wrap up the vertical print like you do in XY axis, cruss crossing the layers any way you see fit to stiffen the part printed.
A) Technically let say you just print the inner wall vertically in vase mode (layer adhesion sucks in vase mode)
B) Than you come back on the tilted part and draw another layer all around bottom to top aligned all around at 90 degrees from the vase mode,
C) Than you come back again top to bottom at 45 degrees respect to the verticall aligned wall,
D) Than you go bottom to top at 90 degrees from you last wall, and 45 reversed degrees from the frist two walls
E) All this with a hot tepertature, high push into the previous wall, wide layer and max pressure flow possible generating maybe lots of stringing hence a sturdy part looking fairly ugly
F) And you finish it up with a last two walls oriented any way you think you need it aestetically; made of very fine lines, low temperature ranges, narrow line to make it look in the end almost as injection molded from the future best macines ever.
And voila; Neary isotropic print best quality looking possible with minimum material and nearly zero supports otside (sometimes it is just impossible to give up supports) but cerrtainly zero supports to cleanse in the inner cavities.
Add to this a separated micro robotic arm placing while print in progress metalic inserts, magnets and what not in absolutelly unreacheble at "finished print" cavities, and no injection moulding machine can outmatch you in your design.
This is he future and me and my small team of open source volunteerrs work on it for a few decades now nailing it down as time passes while the rest of the market cannot see yet the dust raised by our speed in their not yet forseabile future that is our recent past.
We seem to be so far ahead behind the horizont that that the dust raised by our speeding through time and tech is long seettled and looks ancient by the time the rest of you stirr it up again with your passing, and you call it cutting edge frontiere...
C'mon guys, catch up with us please, we need your help here in the future.
