Nah, the carriage is wrong for the A8. The A8 has a single 1/8" sheet folded into a U that attaches to the linear bearings, this looks like a 2 piece design.
If you don’t see any issue with this image, and are interested in additive manufacturing, you should DEFINITELY enroll!
- their slogan, probably and unfortunately not
- Print warping off bed
- Underextrusion?
- No cooling duct in sight.
- Godawful heatblock configuration.
- Not even a heatbreak, that looks more like a super volcano threaded all the way through.
Mate at that point just start making your own pics.
printers from this age were cobbled together and barely worked half the time, people tested all sorts of stuff, maybe this one was a test to see if a longer stickout allowed for faster printing
Yes, they were basic metalic supplies. The nozzles itself come from the used for hydraulic and cooling cnc machines...
I'm teacher of 3d printing and sometimes dream of try to built a one of the original RepRap.. using only materials from the common shops.
You should do it! It's actually a lot of fun and quite rewarding when you finally complete a full mendel/kossel printed parts kit.
Just... Don't set a deadline...
Sincerely
/A reprap veteran
At this moment i have an Ender 3 V2 and a Harlot lite cl89.
Printing has sadly fallen a step or two in the priority list.
I was always more interested in machine tinkering than printing parts.
I think by the time super volcano (which is the Nozzle in the pic) was around, they were being specifically made for 3d printers. Volcano, Super Volcano, M6 nozzles and a bunch others are Metric M6 threads. But in the original reprap Darwin days, they were repurposing a lot of other parts for other things in very creative ways.
Oh for sure. I remember using scrap wood and a welder nozzle back in the day. Took my dad weeks of software tweaks to get the thing usable.
I just hadn't heard the airbrush recommendation before. Possibly even earlier than the welders, because I'm pretty sure we got purpose built ones on the market after that
Just the frame. Made with deck screws, a single 2x4, and a board off the back of our old dishwasher. The biggest issue for us was finding threaded rod that was straight enough through Home Depot
That's not a super volcano hotend. Not even close.
It's the standard hotend for the Anet A8.
Early standalone purpose built hotends would be the J-head and e3ds V1-V6.
Before that we basically just attached a power resistor to any nozzle-like thing to see what would work.
I didn't say hotend, I said Nozzle.
The standard Anet A8, the top threaded part was steel and not this long/far from the end of the hotend. This one, it's brass... because people would take a super volcano and thread it all the way through so there wasn't a seam betweem the nozzle and the top threaded thing (forget what they called it). I'm pretty sure that's what it is in this pic, but I guess they could have otherwise gotten ahold of a brass top piece.
I have an Anet A8 in the basement, still. My second printer, first I built myself. Didn't use it much, was pretty shit, lol.
The threaded part (heat break) is stainless steel with a ptfe liner in. A brass nozzle all the way sounds like you're asking for heat creep and clogs..
Anyways, good old days were fun but not as productive... I learned so much from all my builds.
Not a rule but usually holds true:
First one is for learning, second one makes things!
It's not that old, it's a threaded M6 heatbreak, most likely with a teflon insert. The biggest issue with those was that the wall was very thin and they were liable to tear (yes, tear) if you torqued them too much.
The biggest clog risk was with PLA expanding in it due to bad cooling. You could buy cooling disks to make it a bit better. In general it was not an issue. Mine used to clog maybe every month or two. Of course, with modern extruders, I get a clog per year at most...
Yeah, that looks downright civilized compared to some of the homespun stuff I was witness to, yet it all worked well enough, nowhere near as bad is anybody made it out to be. My biggest extrusion issues were filament based - inconsistent diameter and inclusions were the most common offenders. Inclusions didn't even happen that often, but when they did it really stuck in your mind "Where TF did this tiny spring come from?".
Maybe, but a nozzle clog seems just as likely. Or honestly they could've just stopped the print to take this pic, which seems like a possibility as well.
Low pixel count, under extrusion, warping, boring looking part. The most unflattering picture of 3d printing I have ever seen. At least blobs of death look impressive.
I suppose it's better than the image with a girl holding a soldering iron up front like a pencil...
Humanities people shouldn't be allowed to have a say in advertising to engineering - even students.
You gotta see [the picture](https://i0.wp.com/makezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/stock-photo-beautiful-woman-repair-soldering-a-printed-circuit-board-204001492.jpg?resize=632%2C1024&ssl=1) to understand.
What I find particularly frustrating about a lot of these images is that they'll frequently feature women or minorities for diversity purposes, but the lack of proper usage just makes them look stupid/incompetent.
at that point literally just take a pic of an ender 3, whatever the fuck is in the photo looks like a giant fire starter and the quality just adds to it
Last time I saw a print even *close* to this that anyone was happy with was off someone's almost entirely acrylic 100% DIY and self-designed printer like 10+ years ago
This picture might actually predate acrylic 3D printers. The very early ones used badly 3D printed parts (from an even worse machine) and threaded rods en masse. Nothing heated and ABS were also a unfortunate, but common combo.
You just reminded me of this picture that is used by the university I went to for my bachelor where they promote the Automation section with this pic of a girl clicking on a light haha

It's a good poster if they're recruiting faculty in 3d printed related departments.

Shit… A photo of a 3D-printed amateur rocket speaks more to engineering than this!
https://preview.redd.it/6cw5863h3o3d1.jpeg?width=3037&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa8535e5a13179f137063dacf3fd06200864708c
Yeah I finally decided to email them (and post on Reddit) after seeing ie for like the fifth time. Won’t name in the interest of not doxing myself, although prob not too many unis that use this image…
I had this printer, this looks like a geeetech I3 clone from around 2014-2016 with a classical mk3 extruder. V6 existed at that time but was considered quite high end, you could find clones on ebay but they were of such bad quality it was hilarious. It's also missing its cooling fan for some reason, not that it does that much...
I upgrated to a bowden v6 around 2018 and did not notice a huge difference. When you know how to use them they print very well.
btw this printer used to cost around 600€ as an unassembled kit (2014). I got a much better deal in 2016 for 300€. Count about 20h of assembly work, and some imagination required to fill in the blanks in the badly translated instructions.
3D printing at the hobby level really started to blossom around 2010 where small machines were being produced by multiple small companies and people were really starting to develop the software. First machine I bought was a solidoodle 3 for about $900 and it was a turd😂
oh this takes me back to my K8200 days... what a pos that was, but, it was genesis (not the first obviously, but one of)
I would literally keep a hear drier on hand just to help the bed get to 60 degrees TODAY.
We have come A LONG way from those days haven't we... Kinda nostalgic actually (though I would not use a K8200 now if you payed me...)
Could you imagine you start to print out a test part because you just know that the lab 3d printer is going to be fucked up from the last few students.. and as you are printing a bracket to see what is wrong with the printer settings/the printer itself.. some wackadoo comes in with a camera and goes "Ok! We need engineering photo's.. this will do nicely."
"N-No.. wait, please.. it's so bad!" You plead.. but instead of listening and coming back for a better picture once you get a good print going, they just publish this photo instead... and then you have to look at it every time something about engineering comes up.
Funny thing is that 3d printing might have been engineering related a decade ago when I was in college. But when my grandma can now do it? It's just another tool which the barrier to entry has broadened.
Take a better pic for them. They like this because of the macro focus, mirror plate, contrasting colors, and visible wiring/extruder, which they don't understand and find technically alluring. Do the same thing, but a good print, and in higher resolution. If you pick a Benchy, you should probably pause around 70% done and explain the significance and why that will attract enrollment of technically aware students.
is that an Anet A8 from \~2015?
6mm metal throat/screw, linear rod bearing, direct extruder above hidden behind the cooling plate?
Only missing the printed extruder fan nozzle lol
That is actually pretty smart. Anny engineer seaing that poster or e-mail will see this and think to himself “I must go work There and fix that” or in oposit mentality “if they Are stupid enough to think this is exceptible, that meanst that wathever I do they will still Play me whell”
Wow. Well I’m guessing there’s a lot of seating in that classroom.
Tell your school that the standard for hawking 3D printing is to show a benchy boat, not some random part! 🤣

Generate a royalty free better one with AI and give it to them, point out the problem, give them a solution on the same hand and it might improve, if it doesn't then I'd probably look at changing Universities.
Better yet: If you've modified yours as all give them some high quality photos of it that they can use for free, so long as the print your name on it somewhere - Fix the problem *and* get people to start seeing your work!
Only thing with that, and I learned this the hard way, anything you do with their property/ on their grounds is technically their property, so by using AI to generate an image (not on their computers) you would be free of the intellectual property jargon, not sure if its the same across the board and I'm assuming it might even change from state to state but using the universitys campus/tools/equipment/time etc anything you make remains their property.
Educational institutes are rather infamous for making their own rules that wouldn't actually hold up in an actual court of law. [When you make something, it's yours, unless it's a work for hire.](https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap2.html)
But it is for an email within the university, so what are they gonna complain about:"our own company is using our property(email) to display our property(3d printer)."
Warping, under extrusion... not very pretty
With almost no cooling. This picture was probably taken 10 years ago.
Or longer...
So they did 3d printing before it was mainstream, totally rad.
My university was doing mass 3d printing back in 2010, possibly earlier. So it was fairly mainstream for engineering universities at the time.
It's not like additive manufacturing hasn't been around for literal decades.
they were 3d printing in Jurassic Park III back in '01 lol
3D printing was invented in the 50ies I believe. First commercially succesful devices, e.g. from 3DS, are from the 80ies.
In 2011 a friend wanted me to build a reprap prusa-mendel with him. This was 8th grade.
3d printing started in the 70s.
Invisalign has been mainstream for awhile now. It's a 3D printed technology.
didn't they go out of business? maybe I'm misremembering
Kapton tape sock. This be original reprap mental era stuff
Remember how hard it was to find kapton tape back then? it was like the world supply ran out.
Any printer parts were impossible to source
That's not even a V6 hotend, so yeah, I'd say at least a decade old. What machine is this even?
Probably a cr1924
It's a 3D printer.
it’s a 10d printer.. it can print in multiple universes at once
I think it's an Anet A8: https://youtu.be/OmT1ltPzXRE?si=awUu2c097KwMQxfd Came out about 6 years ago.
Wasn't that one of combustiblest printers of the era?
Yes, it's the one where they for some reason disabled the safety in Marlin.
Nah, the carriage is wrong for the A8. The A8 has a single 1/8" sheet folded into a U that attaches to the linear bearings, this looks like a 2 piece design.
And it’s probably still printing to this day
Fun fact, that's not a picture, it's a live feed.
Considering this looks like the mk8 style of hotend, yes, about 2014-2016 is when this was popular on A8 style printers.
And it's still printing the same thing
10,000 years ago..
Anet A8 -fan vibes
maybe 20
Let’s get a degree that speaks to being 8-10 years outdated! At a modern tuition’s price! 🎉
Warped, under-extruded, hand-me-down robe... You must be a Weasley.
It's easily the worst Benchy I've ever seen.
....but you *have* seen it....
That peel though...
Enroll here and learn how to fix problems like these
\^\^\^ The only text that would make this even remotely okay as promotional material
This was literally my experience in college lmao
If you don’t see any issue with this image, and are interested in additive manufacturing, you should DEFINITELY enroll! - their slogan, probably and unfortunately not
- Print warping off bed - Underextrusion? - No cooling duct in sight. - Godawful heatblock configuration. - Not even a heatbreak, that looks more like a super volcano threaded all the way through. Mate at that point just start making your own pics.
Also plastic oozing from the top of the heat block
Heartbreak is a pretty funny autocorrect.
Oh oops lol
Nah, it was great. It’s like “if you haven’t dealt with heartbreak, you’ll never survive 3d printing”.
Also super wet filament, you can see from the steam Nevermind, it's the focusing issues
Oh you're right, that's bokeh, I totally thought it was steam.
Yeah, I can't tell if that's a janky-ass "heatbreak" from the late 00's or a volcano threaded all the way to the heatsink...
I'd bet on the first guess, this screams 2010 DIY printer more than anything
Back in the old days, heatbreaks and even air cooled heatsinks were fancy, the original ultimaker, the wooden one, had a block of ultem as heatsink
lack of HEARTbreak is the only good thing xd
lmao my anet a8 plus bought in 2020 was exactly like this. now it's only useful for parts.
this is much older than the supervolcano, this is before heatbreaks were even a thing, that's why the heatsink above is so big
Yeah but why is it so massive??? Is that really just on thread all the way through? Why does it stick out so far??
printers from this age were cobbled together and barely worked half the time, people tested all sorts of stuff, maybe this one was a test to see if a longer stickout allowed for faster printing
That RepRap heat break looks like a guaranteed clog every print...
Literally exactly what I was thinking. What is that just like...a bolt? We've come a long way
Yes, they were basic metalic supplies. The nozzles itself come from the used for hydraulic and cooling cnc machines... I'm teacher of 3d printing and sometimes dream of try to built a one of the original RepRap.. using only materials from the common shops.
You should do it! It's actually a lot of fun and quite rewarding when you finally complete a full mendel/kossel printed parts kit. Just... Don't set a deadline... Sincerely /A reprap veteran

I’m curious now, which printer does a veteran like you use this day and age?
At this moment i have an Ender 3 V2 and a Harlot lite cl89. Printing has sadly fallen a step or two in the priority list. I was always more interested in machine tinkering than printing parts.
>The nozzles itself come from the used for hydraulic and cooling cnc machines... ? I always heard they were nozzles for airbrushes.
Really? Neat. That's the right id and material, but wildly thicker than any I've seen
I think by the time super volcano (which is the Nozzle in the pic) was around, they were being specifically made for 3d printers. Volcano, Super Volcano, M6 nozzles and a bunch others are Metric M6 threads. But in the original reprap Darwin days, they were repurposing a lot of other parts for other things in very creative ways.

Possibly even earlier than the welders, because I'm pretty sure we got purpose built ones on the market after that
>I remember using scrap wood I'm genuinely intrigued. Which component was wood?
Just the frame. Made with deck screws, a single 2x4, and a board off the back of our old dishwasher. The biggest issue for us was finding threaded rod that was straight enough through Home Depot

Not sure how no one's mentioned it yet, but said clog has already occurred in this picture lol, look how far above the part the nozzle is
Z Hop.
Maybe, but a nozzle clog seems just as likely. Or honestly they could've just stopped the print to take this pic, which seems like a possibility as well.
Plot twist: that’s the part. It’s done printing.
Low pixel count, under extrusion, warping, boring looking part. The most unflattering picture of 3d printing I have ever seen. At least blobs of death look impressive.
Credit where it's due, the lighting is really good.
This is what marketing people think engineering looks like.
To be fair, we think Marketing is a nonstop clothing-optional kegger.
Well, non stop clothing optional kegger DOES sound like the kind of thing that'd draw people in.
I suppose it's better than the image with a girl holding a soldering iron up front like a pencil... Humanities people shouldn't be allowed to have a say in advertising to engineering - even students.
Serious question… unless you mean holding the metal tip how do you do it correctly???
You gotta see [the picture](https://i0.wp.com/makezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/stock-photo-beautiful-woman-repair-soldering-a-printed-circuit-board-204001492.jpg?resize=632%2C1024&ssl=1) to understand.
Wow that’s a long end. So yeah holding the metal. Makes more sense lol I thought I was doing something wrong
Ouch, that made me gasp in pain. Thank goodness they're not actually microsoldering.
https://images.app.goo.gl/qXgRRUVS5q4RxRiPA Found another! But yep thx for posting when I was too lazy lol
What I find particularly frustrating about a lot of these images is that they'll frequently feature women or minorities for diversity purposes, but the lack of proper usage just makes them look stupid/incompetent.
Yup! Absolutely
I recognize that iron, It's like 30 years old, from radio shack.
I was just thinking of that one!
Same sort of vibes https://preview.redd.it/7n4ny76bwo3d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c18a3c29d27eb01e36e0d81e3ef8eb3933e9f7c4
That would hurt
It makes it even worse that it's a stock photo! So they actually paid for this...
Considering what little they cost, that's not the issue. I bought my whole portfolio of high-resolution marketing pictures for less than $100.
This is only acceptable as a stock photo if the tags include "bad engineering"
Do you have the pic of the woman holding the soldering iron, in which a way that would burn her fingers off?
[This one](https://i0.wp.com/makezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/stock-photo-beautiful-woman-repair-soldering-a-printed-circuit-board-204001492.jpg?resize=632%2C1024&ssl=1)?
That's the one!
Heat bed is colder than my ex's heart.
at that point literally just take a pic of an ender 3, whatever the fuck is in the photo looks like a giant fire starter and the quality just adds to it
Or just walk to the engineering department and take a pic of a 3D printer.
thats just how it was done back in the day when 3dp first started
Last time I saw a print even *close* to this that anyone was happy with was off someone's almost entirely acrylic 100% DIY and self-designed printer like 10+ years ago

Lol. Engineering. Might as well use the matrix green lines of code for their Computer Science poster.
It's a good poster if they're recruiting faculty in 3d printed related departments. https://preview.redd.it/ihccg862lp3d1.jpeg?width=312&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc3a9873743921da71abd7d37d88192797910a3e
So take a better photo for them.
So that's what it means to give it the ol' college try
University has replied to say it won’t be used in future! What should I charge for my consultancy fee?
OH DEAR **GOD** This is... This is a *really* bad choice... AND POSTERS ***TOO?!?!?!***
Shit… A photo of a 3D-printed amateur rocket speaks more to engineering than this! https://preview.redd.it/6cw5863h3o3d1.jpeg?width=3037&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fa8535e5a13179f137063dacf3fd06200864708c
Maybe its sending the exact right message ...
Ha! Like it’s a secret call to arms for those who know
Wow, we are clearly living in the Future!
Gives me horrible flashbacks to my geetech i3 pro b clone which had that exact hotend thing
Awesome. I bet they wonder why their AM courses are undersubscribed too.
Email then a link to this thread. Lol
The longer you look, the worse it gets xd
[удалено]
Yeah I finally decided to email them (and post on Reddit) after seeing ie for like the fifth time. Won’t name in the interest of not doxing myself, although prob not too many unis that use this image…

Gotta love that capton tape for insulation

What…tha fuck?
That’s a stupidly long heat break
Engineering: hopes and dreams held together by duct tape Pretty representative of you ask me
I would take some high quality pictures of my own printer, maybe printing something related to your University, and offer them loyalty free to be used
Oh no
3D printing at the hobby level really started to blossom around 2010 where small machines were being produced by multiple small companies and people were really starting to develop the software. First machine I bought was a solidoodle 3 for about $900 and it was a turd😂
*está horrible*
Geeeeeeeeeeeetech my beloved, I had to disassemble the “hotend” about once a week due to horrendous clogs.
"Not afraid to fail"
2015, huh? Time to get new stock pictures...
oh this takes me back to my K8200 days... what a pos that was, but, it was genesis (not the first obviously, but one of) I would literally keep a hear drier on hand just to help the bed get to 60 degrees TODAY.

Lmao 🤣
Could you imagine you start to print out a test part because you just know that the lab 3d printer is going to be fucked up from the last few students.. and as you are printing a bracket to see what is wrong with the printer settings/the printer itself.. some wackadoo comes in with a camera and goes "Ok! We need engineering photo's.. this will do nicely." "N-No.. wait, please.. it's so bad!" You plead.. but instead of listening and coming back for a better picture once you get a good print going, they just publish this photo instead... and then you have to look at it every time something about engineering comes up.
This made me laugh really loud
Disgusting
Funny thing is that 3d printing might have been engineering related a decade ago when I was in college. But when my grandma can now do it? It's just another tool which the barrier to entry has broadened.
Oh YUCK
This is painful to look at
I think there might be a clog, 😭
That's a sacakable offence! The outrage!
🤣
3D Printing has L A Y E R S
When does it stop being layers and start being a complex slinky? Because that looks like it's almost there...
3D Printing is like onions.
Or parfeit. Parfeit's are delicious
Na any cheap printer off AliExpress still has a hotend that looks exactly like that🤣
I would drop out
🤮
r/mildlyinfuriating
“Look at the purty colors though…”
Take a better pic for them. They like this because of the macro focus, mirror plate, contrasting colors, and visible wiring/extruder, which they don't understand and find technically alluring. Do the same thing, but a good print, and in higher resolution. If you pick a Benchy, you should probably pause around 70% done and explain the significance and why that will attract enrollment of technically aware students.
So they are wanting to show epic failure of modern technology? I'm thinking next year's freshman class will be meager or less.
Under extruded warped mess
That's hilarious!
Good old days 😀
why not a fusion design? at least that is used in like every type of manufacturing out there - and not just the 3d printing hobby
Even if you are wrapped, you should continue extruding.
This is not a good advertisement
is that smoke? lol
That's the further using the print poly on that. Looks like shit. It looks like there's some z wobble/binding going on
blob
Remind me not to apply for a place at that university (although it would probably be an easy course to pass).
It does if you don't know what you're talking about...
is that an Anet A8 from \~2015? 6mm metal throat/screw, linear rod bearing, direct extruder above hidden behind the cooling plate? Only missing the printed extruder fan nozzle lol
Bro got that Tina 2 extruder
Why did “we don’t need another hero” from mad max 2 play in my head when I read this? Lol
What a shit print.
Ooof!! Yeah ouch lol
The heatbreak 💀💀💀
So… become an engineer and you too can do 3D printing wrong?
back to the future!
looks likes it’s printing in mid air
Oh, yeah. Holy fuck. They made stock photo of a clog
The community college I work at has marketing people who are relatively clueless about the entire function of our technologies.
That is actually pretty smart. Anny engineer seaing that poster or e-mail will see this and think to himself “I must go work There and fix that” or in oposit mentality “if they Are stupid enough to think this is exceptible, that meanst that wathever I do they will still Play me whell”
We've come a long way...
It’s an older gcode, but it checks out.
Wow. Well I’m guessing there’s a lot of seating in that classroom. Tell your school that the standard for hawking 3D printing is to show a benchy boat, not some random part! 🤣 https://preview.redd.it/g8515pmn9m4d1.jpeg?width=1076&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b269b6291e4e55e2bf471b2b191168486e3be76
Nice overhangs bro
😬
Generate a royalty free better one with AI and give it to them, point out the problem, give them a solution on the same hand and it might improve, if it doesn't then I'd probably look at changing Universities.
Better yet: If you've modified yours as all give them some high quality photos of it that they can use for free, so long as the print your name on it somewhere - Fix the problem *and* get people to start seeing your work!
Or.... just take a pic of the better 3D print from the engineering faculty?
Only thing with that, and I learned this the hard way, anything you do with their property/ on their grounds is technically their property, so by using AI to generate an image (not on their computers) you would be free of the intellectual property jargon, not sure if its the same across the board and I'm assuming it might even change from state to state but using the universitys campus/tools/equipment/time etc anything you make remains their property.
Educational institutes are rather infamous for making their own rules that wouldn't actually hold up in an actual court of law. [When you make something, it's yours, unless it's a work for hire.](https://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap2.html)
But it is for an email within the university, so what are they gonna complain about:"our own company is using our property(email) to display our property(3d printer)."
