Hemp and 4D / 3D Printing - A Conversation

2016 Update 

Kanèsis is making a hemp filament for 3D printing, demonstrated above. 

"While in Sicily, I got a chance to meet with the Kanèsis team (Giovanni Milazzo, Luca Millauro, Antonio Caruso, Santiago Consoli and Erika Ruiz). They are young engineers and material science graduates who have succeeded where many more have failed. Hemp, which is a similar plant to that which gets you high, but has very low THC content, is about as close as it gets to a wonder material.
It is extremely sustainable. Hemp is a weed. It grows just about anywhere, in any condition and consumes minimal resources. It can be used to make thousands of products, from clothing and fibers to the strongest ropes that exist, to bioplastics, paper, natural cosmetics, and more."
The game is changing.

Hemp is filament (ink) for 4D printing and 3D printing. The difference between 4D and 3D is 4D is self assembling. The purpose is to create what you need.







These printers print with the new ink, called filament. This conversation is about how to make hemp the dominate raw resource material for this life changing evolution.  Print with hemp filament! It's already being done.


Matterlab develops hemp and tagua-based FDM 3D printer filaments

http://www.3ders.org/articles/20150205-matterlab-robert-cicetti-develops-hemp-and-tagua-based-fdm-3d-printing-filaments.html

Why hemp as printer filament? Because hemp is a versatile, strong, environmentally empowering, safe, multi-faceted, easily renewable raw resource material, making it perfect as a filament for 4D and 3D Printing.  

For example, the building above as well as other items can be printed in hemp, i.e. hemp plastic which is 10x stronger than steel used for windows and waterproofing and smoothing a finishing coat, hempcrete and other building materials.


Hemp plastics 


Medical applications
Don't forget, hemp inks could be incorporated into 2D Printing because hemp can make regular ink too.  

As we embrace the Information Age it is easy to understand the surge in popularity that hemp / marijuana is experiencing.  Lies about the hemp plant do not stand up to the light of truth, no matter how many millions are jailed or uncounted numbers of people executed in the name of the war on drugs. Jack Herer was right, as usual 'nobody dies from marijuana other than murder by cop or drug dealer.' 

Let's start a crop financed international Hemp For Victory program! Here's some information on the original program.  A 21st Century of this program could be easily achieved, this time through crop, not government financing. 



Though the majority of the legalization conversation today is about medical and recreational cannabis, there is another treasure from this trillion dollar crop, industrial hemp, that has the potential to once again be a huge market. The late Richard M. Davis, founder and curator of the USA Hemp Museum broke down the economics of the market in his book HEMP FOR VICTORY: TRILLION DOLLAR CROP. 

"A hemped economy is a healthy economy. Imagine an emerald plant that grows in 90-150 days, can be used to make over 50,000 products such as all our paper, can eliminate dependence on foreign energy sources, actually reverse global warming and can be implemented, as Willie Nelson says, with NO WAR REQUIRED. Such is the amazing hemp plant that can help turn our current economic mess into an economic cornucopia of job, business, and other taxable income opportunities." H4VT$C pg. 6

The current technology of 4D and 3D printing carries with it a plethora of benefits and a few problems that hemp, wisdom and common sense easily solves. 

The initial problem is filament for the printers. How do we provide affordable, non toxic filament, especially in light of reports of health concerns?

"According to Phys.org, inhaling UFPs is potentially harmful, as the particles "deposit efficiently in both the pulmonary and alveolar regions of the lung, as well as in head airways." They could also find their way to the brain through the olfactory nerve.


Previous research has suggested that high concentrations of UFPs in the body can cause asthma symptomsstrokecardiac arrest and even death.

In light of these health concerns, researchers say that consumers should exercise caution when operating 3D printers in "inadequately ventilated or unfiltered indoor environments," according to the study, published this month in the journal Atmospheric Environment." 

Above quote from the Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/24/3d-printers-health_n_3646133.html

The choice is simple. Do we cut down more trees, suck off more out the Earth's lithosphere for oil to meet the demand new technologies present? Or do we grow our own filament. Choosing the hemp solution is so much better than being stupid, which, based on results, is the way things are being done now.

Since technology is the key out of Babylon, we can speak the same language, "weblish", understand that there is no shortage of land, indoor growing is a hot topic, many folks could return to what they were born to do, farm/process/sell hemp. Hemp solves the problem of how to make enough filament for the upcoming demand by using this quickly renewable plant. 



Folks can grow their own raw material for filament if they want, take the plants in for processing to make what they need, like we do with dry cleaning today. The processing can read 'lb. of flour, 5 lbs. of plastic, 4 lbs of textured vegetable protein (like a hemp based TVP - meat substitute for vegetarians like me.) This hemp evolution allows folks to grow their way out of poverty. Hemp hero Jeff Clark is making plans for his 3D printed hempcrete house made from material, hemp, that he grows himself.  A lot of folks would not only find jobs, but start their own companies or masterworks series of products or services in old and new hemp industries. It is the truth that sets us free.

As is the case with energy, instead of cutting down trees for paper and wood or pumping the Earth's blood for plastic we can print using hemp.  Hemp can be used as hempcrete to print buildings and infrastructure, hemp plastics for common items as well as some industrial applications as developed, hemp foods to help meet nutritional needs, hemp fabrics for innovative clothing and furnishing designs, papers, etc., perfect raw materials processed into whatever the person needs to create a good life.

Hemp is a great raw resource material for 3D / 4D Printing


FOUNDATION RESEARCH FOR HEMP FOR VICTORY: 21ST CENTURY
Hemp is an easily renewable, versatile raw resource material for 
3D and 4D Printing



Print the car in hemp plastic because it is 10x stronger than steel, 
that’s impact strength.

According to T. Rowe Price, the game of life has changed, just in time for the future. We can print what we need. We can turn our ideas into our physical reality.  This (3D and the up and coming 4D, self assembling) printing evolution is an empowerment tool, an awesome manufacturing technique transforming the power of production. Literally, we can print most of what we need and even use free energy to power it. Already people are printing functional toolsmodel airplanesmotorcycleshomesclothesfoods and even lifesaving human organs . 

Hemp plasticsfoodsfabricspapersconcreteoils and medicines are great raw materials for use in 3D and 4D Printing.  Based on qualityversatility and price, hemp could be the dominate (among many) raw resource printing material for 3D / 4D Printing.  Due to hemp’s  strength,  versatility,  durabilitytastenutritional and medical values, plus a whole lot more. This brave new world demands Hemp For Victory.

· 3D / 4D Printing is revolutionizing manufacturing, business and personal. 

· The technology is basically a 3D dot matrix printer, printing one thin layer at a time to replicate the drawings in the CAD design file4D printed objects self assembles on site.

· Simply create or choose the CAD file to print and add the printing materials of choice. The printer replicates in various filaments, designed to produce a functional object from powderplasticgold, etc. The printer prints layers in various “inks” (filament) and it’s done.

· 3D / 4D Printing done in hemp is the best that nature has to offer to this evolution.

· Hemp is a perfect raw resource material to print what we need to have happy, fulfilled, lives. We can now design and print fully functional, non-toxic, items with ease in healthy hemp.

· Hemp ABS plastics have 10x the impact strength of steel. Hemp fabrics allow a body to breathe. Hemp foods are delicious. Hemp paper is long lasting.  Hemp is a perfect, low cost, easily renewable raw material to make filament. We can even make our own 3D Printers, of course in hemp plastic from plants we grow, not buy, making us more independent!

· With hemp we are marking ‘The End” to this age of greed and replacing it with satisfaction.

Mission Action Plan Projects / Drafts In Process


3D / 4D - Print In Hemp!

The Information Age is ripe with positive possibilities and within those opportunities is what LEAP’s Peter Christ called on Time4Hemp the next “Guttenberg Printer”, computers, which are the foundation for  3D / 4D Printing.  This modern marvel prints real objects from CAD (computer aided design) files. We can print a new car part, a model plane that fliesdentures and/or a kidney for installation.  Get ready to print your carhouseevening gown with the perfect shoes, or a new ear.  That's 3D / 4D printing.
This is the revolution that President Obama talked about in his state of the union 2013 address3D / 4D printing are empowerment tools to free us to create the lives we want in the materials of our preference.  Hemp is an excellent raw resource material for this process, both to make the printers and filaments (inks) to create needed/wanted/imagined items. 
Instead of royal, above the law corporations like Monsanto making our products, we, citizens of sun, can 3D / 4D print the backgrounds and tools of our lives.  This new printing press has the potential to dwarf what the computer industry did in the 1980’s and 90’s due to relevance.

Hemp For Victory is a smart strategy to follow in this brave new world.  Easily renewablelow costversatiledurablestrong and non-toxic hemp is the best qualified raw material for most 3D /4D Printing needs.  We can even make tools to help us repair the damage done to the planet.

The foundation of the premise is the same for both 3D / 4D printing.  The difference between the two is basically is that 4D printing self assembles, which is useful when it comes to issues of nuclear containment and the like.  Affordable 3D printing and self-assembling 4D printing are not future concepts, but here now.  You can order one on Amazon.  It is up to us to kick this evolution into grand & glorious gear.

3D Printed House
“The promise of 3D printing technology is astounding. By taking simple, basic materials and “printing” them to spec using binding agents and/or robots, these machines are capable of creating everything from pharmaceutical medications to wearable planters at the touch of a button. So why not apply that smart tech to green building?

Two such buildings caught our eye recently (via Inhabitat).”

We are limited only by our imaginations, which are vast. Record your idea in a CAD file, choose your filaments and print.  Think highest good and use hemp to save the planet.

Who:  3D / 4D printing makes functional objects in many materials i.e. plasticfoodmetalspaperglassgoldceramics, etc. The computer’s design (CAD) file can be modified to fit our style, producing our best articles like a functional wrench or new human organs. Hemp, already with the ability to make over 50,000 products, is a perfect filament for the 3D printers to make foodsplasticsfashioncars, etc. We can print our needs and our dreams...problems solved.

Hemp can fuel this evolution of humanity.  The USA Hemp Museum’s Hemp For Victory Mission’s work is to provide truth about why hemp is a vastly superior  material.  This is based on quality, so hemp could easily become the dominate raw resource material for printing, both making the printers and the printing filament (ink). The scope is endless. Imagine being able to 4D print Fukushima’s nuclear entombment in scientifically calculated layers of hemp concrete, lead and hemp plastic in sufficient depth to entomb our many radiation problems.

What: Work with the vision of replacing toxic with non toxic hemp items via 3D / 4D Printing, etc. because of hemp’s multi-purpose benefits. Implementing the hemp solution to solve the foreseeable problems in 3D /4D printing, the primary one being expensive printer filament being subject to shortages, is wise.  For this revolution to go forward quickly, material used in the process must be free or inexpensive, strong, durable, versatile and hemp’s key advantage over many other materials used, non-toxic. Hemp scores straight A’s in all those categories, definitely for 3D with no reason found yet for why it would not work in 4D too. We’re still researching.

When: Now.  Simply incorporating hemp and other needful, non-toxic materials into traditional products will co-create a serious lifestyle upgrade.  More than just the people will thrive from the decision to make hemp the main material used in 3D/4D Printing. 

Instituting the hemp solution is the smart thing to do now for ourselves, environment and future. When hemp is legal we will be able to grow the raw material for our printer filament to make whatever we can put into a CAD file.  Almost immediately, when we stop the drug war and use hemp to solve our modern problems, we can have a better world by using hemp foodsfabricspaperplastic, etc. for both the filament and where appropriate, the printers too. 

Using hemp building materials and lead for nuclear entombment for places like Fukushima makes sense.  The parts can be printed off site and assembled by robots wearing a radiation reflection covering printed by 3D printers too. Rick Simpson’s cancer cure oil can be an ingredient in our food filaments.  With 3D / 4D printing, confidence in the future is easy, though a lot of work. 

Where:  This evolution is going on everywhere, all over the world.  3D / 4D Printing is a home based as well as industrial upgrade. Already, 3D printing stores are opening up.  3D / 4D shops affords printer owners the opportunity to engage in on-demand creation of whatever they or their customers want.  This technology also gives households the ability to print their needs.  

Why: Use hemp to help us save ourselves from the mess we’ve made of Earth. After centuries of man caused abuse, hemp can help us create better lives with better materials.  For example, plastic is everywhere.  Johannes Bjarmarsson said “hemp plastic is 10x stronger than steel, as in impact strength!” Dr. Jeri Rose adds “the high cellulose content of hemp is probably an essential aspect to why it will be so superior.”  Using hemp to make the printer and as the filament/ink in 3D Printing is a multi-level upgrade. Hemp oil and foods can be printed to stop world hunger.

How: In hemp style. Once you have your computer, CAD program and 3D / 4D printer, draw or scan in a picture of what you want to print into a CAD file.  Add the materials you want to print in. Print like you Vogue.  A good program to make your CAD file is Google Sketch Up, which is free.

To make hemp available, we must unconditionally stop the drug war now by Jack Herer Executive Order 420 to free up hemp’s many powers and applications. Free ALL political prisoners too. When that’s done we can grow as much hemp as needed to empower what the Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute calls “A Peaceful Solution” to the high cost and toxic materials found in some (i.e. traditional plastics) items we interact with daily. 

Dr. Jeri Rose further suggests that an analysis of the chemistry of plastic made from oil, and that made from hemp, will disclose why that from hemp will not break down into toxic pollutants. How will your life change when you can print whatever (not whoever in person) you want? 

First 3D Printed Gown
In a perfect world, folks can freely grow their hemp plants in a closet or back yard. Then take the plant to a facility for processing into fabric, medicine, plastic, food…like we currently take in dry cleaning...or process their hemp plants themselves. “We can even donate directly to people who need it” said Casper Leitch.

The purpose of this research is to empower as many people as possible as quickly as we can to serve the explosive needs of the 3D / 4D Printing universe.  With computer design as the foundation, 3D / 4D Printing are the keys out of Babylon. We can all speak in the language of technology, the same language, to create what we need to live the lives we want.  JOY!  TELL PRESIDENT OBAMA, LET OUR HEMP PLANT GO BY JACK HERER -EXECUTIVE ORDER - 420!  Like Jack use to say, ‘get your fuckin’ education.’

· Institute a crop financed HEMP FOR VICTORY program!
· Get folks educated about 3D and 4D printers so we can purchase, grow and/or make the printers and filaments. Print. 
· Tool up with hemp by growing, processing and using the hemp plant.  Let’s do what President George Washington said “Make the most of the hemp seed and sow it everywhere.”
· Form mastermind alliances of hemp and 3/4 D printing enthusiasts (for us it’s the same folks).

Casper Lietch, creator, producer and host of the flagship marijuana broadcast program Time4Hemp recently suggested that we get this information to other long term hemp heroes, i.e. 3D printer Jay Leno, who uses 3D printing to replace his car parts, FarmAid creator Willie Nelson, activist Woody Harrelson and others who are helping folks know we have the ability to solve many of our problems now.  Given the dynamics of the nuclear crisis from Fukushima and other deadly energy plants, it is in the best interest of us all to have a section of this research dedicated to applying hemp building materials and lead to reduce exposure to toxic radiation.

US Federal Grants - Here's another way to get the information out and receive an up to $250,000 renewable, annual grant. NASA just gave out a $125,000 grant for 3D printing food.  There is also a national competition going on out of the White House concerning innovative applications to technology that has a $200 million prize.  Initial products being planned by mission members to be printed and sold on demand in a hemp plastic 3D printer filament are:

Akuna Brass Catcher invented by Sherwood Akuna, an automatic pistol accessory that catches brass as shot is a useful tool for shell re-loaders.  Currently the ABC is hand crafted through a long process. 3D Printing turns weeks of work into hours, granting the inventor the ability to be price competitive. This works within the Department of Defense applications to 3D print Akuna Brass Catchers to catch military brass as shot, saving the environment and for reloading.

Mini-USA Hemp Museum, 3D printed items in hemp - Richard M. Davis is the USA Hemp Museum’s founder, curatorspeakermedia personalitypublished authorfarmer and educator. A hemp activist since the 1960’s, Davis is still building the museum to hold his over 3,000 hemp and hemp related items, while continuing to write his HEMP FOR VICTORY books.

Compurest Keyboard Stand, U.S Patent No. 5,188,321 is a keyboard writers tool that heals and prevents upper body computer injuries.  Print CompUrest in hemp plastic and fabrics.  CompUrest was invented by Bernard Hirschenson (producer/camera Keep America Beautiful and many other stylized films and commercials) and J. Nayer HardinComputer Underground Railroad

‘Here we are on 21st Century Earth, the Information Age.
Now that we are here, 
we see why the Creator needed so many folks to come.
There is a lot to do and not much to work with, 
hemp being illegal and all.
To tell you the truth, after all these years, 
we are feeling a little bit inadequate.
As a matter of fact we think we can do with some help.’

Hemp and 3D Printing


I rarely agree with anyone in government and President Barack Obama is not the exception to that.  He is right about the future of 3D printing and it's ability to be a revolutionary tool, especially if we use hemp paper, plastics, concrete (hempcrete), woods, foods, etc. as a major raw material to create what we need and want without much economic consideration.  



How would your life be different if you could just print whatever you need?  Believe it or not, that's the potential found in the technology known as 3D printing. The more I look at this technology the more I see Genesis 11:6 "..nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." Already folks are printing everything from human organs to food to guns (which even changes the current gun control conversation to focus on the fingers on the triggers - not background checks that are impossible when folks are printing their own guns that shoot now up to 600 rounds - look to the psycho active drugs the mass killers are on). 



The potential impact on the world's economy, in a word, healing. 3D / 4D printing gives us the ability to create the things we want in life.

So of course my next question is how can we incorporate hemp into the 3d printing evolution?  The answer is hemp (plastics, foods, building materials, inks, etc.) is the perfect raw material to fuel the 3D Printing process.  Hemp even has applications in making the 3D printers too.

Because hemp is such a quick growing, low cost and versatile plant, everyone could have affordable access so they can build their world they way they want.  

Though the research is still being compiled, the possibilities are mind blowing.  The many links below are the initial research done by a group of marijuana activists (too many to list here now - more on them in future posts) on the two empowerment tools, 3D Printing - Hemp.  

A tiny list for hemp links and key participants in this research are the USA Hemp Museum, Time4Hemp, The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation, Hippie Butter Hemp Foods, and countless others found via search engines, that cover many of the 50,000 products hemp can make - that's pre 3D printer.   We are limited only by our imaginations here since we have access to vital information on how to use hemp in all its forms to solve our problems now.  I don't know about you, but I'm loving the information age.  Truth is setting us free.

If you only read one article on 3D Printing this is the link –


THE GAME HAS CHANGED.  The technology of 3D printing allows us to print anything from food to human organs to guns to wrenches and many other things we can use every day, at a much more economical cost than currently available.  Use hemp and the prices can come down radically, while producing a healthy, toxic free product.

This article’s purpose is to provide an overview of the 3D Printing Industry  -  http://3dprintingindustry.com/  for the purpose of creating a mastermind alliance to discuss the many ways hemp can be incorporated to upgrade the process.
