Cheap, High-Quality 3D Printed Vaporizer

Discussion in 'Marijuana Consumption Q&A' started by PrintedVape, Sep 16, 2014.

  1. Hey all, I've recently been looking into getting an electric, dry-herb vaporizer, and was completely blown away by what I found.
     
    Based on my knowledge of electrical components and the like, all the vaporizers out there (portable and desktop) seem HUGELY overpriced. I mean, it's a power source, a heat modulation unit, a bit of ceramic, and a heating coil. That shouldn't cost $200.
     
    Anyway, the main purpose of this post is actually to gauge interest for and possibly begin development of a 3D printed vape. I have extensive experience with CAD design as well as product prototyping. I don't think 3D printing would be the optimal way to produce this, but I do think it would still be cheaper than the current offerings.
     
    If this sounds like something that you would be interested in buying, supporting, or developing, please don't hesitate to bump or post some ideas.
     
    I would be greatly appreciative of any design/technological assistance from some with an in-depth knowledge of the internal workings of today's leading vaporizers. Kind words and expressed interest are greatly appreciated as well.

    Just pay 160 and get the DBV man.  Your printed vaporizer is failure waiting to happen. lol.  Maybe print up a couple pounds of top shelf weed too!!
     
  3. How will you prevent the heat from releasing plastic molecules? :smoke:
     
  4. This stuff isn't normal plastic

  5. Agreed and good question.
     
  6.  
     
    Well obviously you print a barrier to prevent that.  LOL.
     
  7. OP will probably tell me to print my ass so i can go fuck myself.  Lol.
     
  8. True, but you heat it to extrude it.
    Here are three of the common materials extrusion ranges. A Vape's best temp is in the 185C range. I wouldn't trust it.
    Extruder temp 210-250C 160-220C 190-210C
     
  9. Clearly you know more than i do haha. I just know that shits real tough.
     
  10. ur so funny

  11. kickstart it and you got $10 or so from me
     
  12. What would the bowl/chamber be made out of? Or the electronics?A 3D printed pipe or bong would be insanely cool. but a vaporizer is a bit different no? What kind of printer can print fully functioning electronic devices with different materials. Does that exist? If so it must cost just upwards of a fuckton.   Lol
     
    But I'm being serious. Not mocking the idea or anything. I'm curious how it would function. It'd be different than anything we've seen now, for sure.
