“…and filament. Lots of filament.”
The volume of Planet Earth is 108.321x10^10 km3.. Converted to std meters, that is 1.08321x10^21 m3.
A typical high flow 3d printer hotend (without getting insane) can hit around 25mm3/sec volumetric flow assuming no nozzle or acceleration restrictions. Converted to std meters, that is 2.5x10^-8 m3/sec.
If you ran that hotend continuously with no breaks, it would only take about 4.332x10^28 seconds to print the planet Earth… or 1.374x10^21 (1.4 sextillion!) years!
Gentlemen. We’re going to need a bigger printer.
That’s why you start by printing more printers.
A lot of us here aren’t actually mortal so that’s not a big deal
Yeah but it’s a little hard to power your printer past the heat death of the universe
Damn it
Every fucking century you just haaave to bring that up, don’t you.
Might need to bump up to 0.8mm
Or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof:-)
Archimedes was better known for bath thoughts.
Lol imagine thinking you would print anything without youtube!
Well unless you like miniatures in which case you’re going to need resin
Actually I printed a few decent ones with my Ender 3. A couple tests on my new A1 came out really nice.
