Top 5 Videos: Slicing Resin 3D Prints and Avoiding Print Failures

Welcome to our compilation of this week’s most compelling 3D printing highlights. We kick off this week’s edition with our very own video, providing essential tips for resin slicing and 3D printing, complemented by a demonstration of solid printing techniques to help users avoid print failures. Next up, DPCcars unveils how Porsche integrates 3D printing technology to improve the performance of its 911 GT2 RS sportscars. Moving forward, in honor of the premier of the Fallout series last month, Iengzeh provides an in-depth look at the process of 3D printing the iconic Stimpak from the post-nuclear universe. In fourth place, Kason Knight from i-Solids speaks on the critical aspects of maintaining optimal environmental conditions for enhanced print quality and employee safety aboard their 3D printing farm in Texas. Lastly, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation highlights the collaboration between Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex, the University of Windsor, and Nidus3D to develop Canada’s first 3D printed residential homes in Leamington. Let’s get started!

Top 1: Slicing Resin 3D Prints and Avoiding Print Failures

First, we present our very own video, sharing essential tips for successful resin 3D printing, with a focus on slicing techniques to avoid print failures. Our host, Elliot, provides practical guidance to optimize print quality and minimize resin wastage by covering key aspects such as dialing in settings, strategically placing supports, identifying and eliminating islands within the model, addressing cupping issues, and hollowing out larger prints.

Top 2: 3D Printing Pistons for Porsche’s 911 GT2 RS

In this next video, DPCcars showcases the use of 3D printing technology in optimizing pistons for the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, a high-performance sports car. Collaborating with partners Mahle, Trumpf, and Zeiss, Porsche has employed a bionic design approach to enhance vehicle piston performance. The video dives into Porsche’s rigorous testing methods, highlighting a 200-hour endurance run to demonstrate the durability and performance of these 3D printed pistons.
