    Der Unterschied ist, dass die Toniebox bereits von einem 1-2 jährigen benutzt werden kann. Bei einem CD oder Kassettenspieler ist das etwas schweriger. Bevor mein Neffe eine Toniebox bekommen hatte, war ich auch skeptisch. Aber das Ding wird viel benutzt und konnte schon mit fast zwei Jahren bedient werden. Und einem Zweijährigen drücke ich lieber eine Figur die er erkennen kann und nicht kaputt bekommt, als eine CD oder eine Fernbedienung.



  • I guess there’s always something new to learn. But while it’s tested with PEEK (and other high performance thermosplastics) I am curios if it works with more customer-grade materials like PET(G), ASA, PLA or PS, since those have a far lower melting range compared to PEEK. Also most users are probably not willing to pay the price of PEEK or other high performance materials. Nevertheless its a really interesting method i wasn’t aware of yet, maybe it will become the new standard for industrial FDM in a few years. Thanks for sharing!


  • I haven’t tried it myself yet but from the results I’ve seen online it seems like a good way to decrease roughness. But you still you have to print with a low layer height since larger layers result in deeper crevices which can’t be mitigated by the vapor. And its nothing I would try without proper safety measures. Of course you can also sand and polish your surfaces by hand but especially larger surfaces get really tedious really quick :D


  • It depends on how you define quality.

    • If you define it by general shape and tolerances, 3d printing can(!) achieve a comparable quality.
    • if you define it by it’s surface finish, SLA prints can but it’s nearly impossible with FDM (at least currently).
    • and if you define it, by its tensile strength or mechanical properties injection molded pieces wil probably always have an edge over 3d prints because of their anisotropic behaviour (meaning the piece can endure forces differently depending on the direction)

    And of course as already mentioned injection molding is a much better fit for mass production.
