hi I'm Phil Newman co-founder of retyped 3d until you own a 3d printer what you don't realize is that removing supports and getting rid of printing errors really sucks we figured that if heat created a 3d print then heat was the best way to clean it up the world's first heated tool for cleaning up 3d prints with variable heat control and interchangeable heads designed for specific 3d retouching tasks when designing burritos 3d we knew we want to make a product that was easy to handle aesthetically pleasing something that complements into your 3d workspace our final economic handheld design combines comfort decision allowing users to hold the tour with different hands issues with finishing 3d printed products you spend hours modeling your 3d designs and yet many 3d printers leave your prints looking scrappy and unfinished one of the biggest frustrations is the hours spent cleaning up your 3d prints to create a perfect model well those days are over introducing the retouched 3d retouched 3d is the world's first speciality heated tool designed to clean up 3d printed models hi I'm Phil Newman co-founder of retouch 3d until you own a 3d printer what you don't realize is that removing supports and getting rid of printing errors really sucks we figured that it heats crater the 3d Prince then heaps the best way to clean it up so after experimenting with soldering irons heated wax tools blow torches powered grinders and other scary equipment we arrived at the retouch 3d the world's first heated tool for cleaning up 3d prints with variable heat control and interchangeable heads designed for specific 3d retouching tasks it's time to finish the job properly retouch 3d makes cleaning up 3d prints fun and easy simply power on the tool input your selected temperature level and in no time get ready to remove all the unwanted material from your 3d printer like a hot knife through butter ah on Joseph's friend and I'm the product designer retouch 3d when designing retouch 3d we need we want to make a product that was easy to handle aesthetically pleasing and something that complimented your 3d workspace our final economic handheld design combines comfort position allowing users to hold the tool in different hand positions and finishing 3d printed models with the assistance of heat our product is truly the first in the 3d printing industry retouch 3ds v interchangeable macro and micro remover heads make it easy to remove large support structures as well as posts and supports that are hard to reach the 5 retouch 3d heads have been designed to address the main issues associated with 3d printed models from support removal to refine a layer imperfection hi I'm Peter and one of the cofounders of flex 3d the Flex 3d build plate was designed to solve many of the problems with standard 3d printing we designed the Flex rebuild plate so it bent so the parts come off super easy and you never cut yourself with a blade you won't hurt your fingers it's much safer than any other 3d printing plate currently on the market we also design a plate set as a texture so your prints will always stick will never by blue tape again a promise lastly we also created a rapid change system so it's speed your workflow up so you can easily and rapidly change the plates out and your prints to start a new job in fact I printed all of this here in one week last year we launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to make 3d printing easier we have shipped more than 400 plates to all 50 states and over 37 countries these build plates have a proven success record and now a word from our the co-founder Victor Jean Ville coming from Stockholm Sweden hey Victor well Stockholm hey Kickstarter I'm victim Dom the co-creator of extra day thanks to did is man over impact-resistant thermostat that's built to last we have used ours for over a year and this keeps on going how about it yes 9 of mini effects or outer composites our community of over 400 uses around the world have tried all complexity just works are using it needed back that's not only either it still set it over a hundred Fahrenheit our power cord so well so middle schools high schools and universities across the u.s. are using it to make 3d printing easier and safer and now we're back with many more options and sizes including plates for the Delta printer the flashforge and new universal size is based on our research we also are offering our most popular sizes again all of these come with two plates and a frame and we are introducing flex 3d simple which is just a single build plate that attaches to your printer with provided binder clips it is the easiest way to get the Flex 3d experience and is available in all sizes this is Astra print makes your 3d printer wireless and intelligently slices and organizes your designs in the cloud hi I'm drew Taylor co-creator of Astro print we've seen 3d printers make amazing advancements over the last few years however it drove us crazy that printers still had cords bound to computers LED displays from an 80 sci-fi movie and highly complex software interfaces we felt like we could make the 3d printing experience better for everyone so we spent the last year developing the Astro print platform Astro print turns any smartphone or tablet into a beautiful and effective printer interface in addition we built it to reduce failed prints with slicing settings that get smarter over time here's how it works just plug your printers USB cable into the Astro box connect to the box via Wi-Fi and start printing wirelessly we made a completely plug and play for more functionality your Astro box can slice and manage all of your 3d printable files as well as control your printer through our cloud service at Astro print comm which by the way is completely free for Kickstarter backers we have over 40 years combined experience in software development and better software and interface design in addition we're in beta spring and make a related tech accelerator with top-level mentorship accountability and most importantly a kegerator Kickstarter backers will receive our first stable release of the Astro box and a lifetime pro plan for Astro print comm services currently the Astro box and Astro print comm are ready to move into private beta however before we release Astro print to the public we want to add in some important features such as camera support remote access and a robust printer in filament database what do we expect from a 3d printed object a plastic part a little rough around the edges but what if you could easily eliminate the layers and smooth the surface of your printed part achieving a high-gloss finish without a moment above others poly smooth is soluble in isopropyl alcohol when a poly smooth model is placed into the polisher an ultrasonic nebulizer creates a fine mist in the chamber each particle of mist is typically 5 to 10 microns in diameter so a very even coat of IPA is applied to every nook and cranny of your model the particles then start melting the surface of the model smoothing the layers and your model is transformed in a matter of minute holy smooth is easy to work with and prints very well you can get fine details with good interlayer adhesion holy smooth support is also very easy to remove and once polished there is no scar left on the surface we've built in some really cool lighting effects into the polisher there's dimmable white chamber lights that illuminate your model there's also a multicolored never laser light which can cycle through 15 colors or you can set it to your preferred illumination a sleek design of the polisher allows it to fit harmoniously in any environment place your polisher next to your printer for professional own desktop fabrication or use it to achieve those finishing touches in a university project our goal is to make 3d printing more functional and accessible for everyone by constantly pushing the boundaries of extrusion based technology we can drive this industry forward for the first time you can print without layers creating a truly finished part that can rival the surface finish of mass production in minutes estimating whether you have enough filament left on a spool to finish a print has always been a difficult task more often than not we find ourselves with an incomplete print our team at dyes design has developed a solution for this problem meet the filament Sentinel it's designed to temporarily pause your print when it detects that you've run out of filament you can then calmly replace your spool after multiple prototypes and design iterations we feel ready to launch the filament Sentinel into production your banking will help us ramp up production of the filament Sentinel we can't wait to launch this project with you our team would like to thank you for helping us through this crowdfunding campaign
