Thanks so much for watching! I LOVE hearing from you all, and I read every comment, so let me know what you think, or any ideas you have for future videos, in the comments below!
I have ABS dialed in (I have yet to try PETG). Can I print these in ABS instead?
Couldve just used a masking tape on the drill bit at the line you want the drill to stop. But the rest could be useful π
for the drill drill bit holder, if you have a resin printer try using the rubber resin and printing it. that should work a lot better for that kind of application.
loved this video and would be very interested in all of the videos you mentioned that you could bring out in the future
YES PLEASE for fasteners and bearings and press-fits needed for common prints.
Received my 3d printer for Christmas, i am printing away and crash course learning and your channel is helping me immensely. thank you π
Well technically you can print screws and bearings and the other hardware so it could be fully 3D printed
but how do i get the spatula off the bed if i have no spatula in the 1st place? hmmmmm
I’d also like a video of what I should upgrade when on ender 3
Oof, crypto bro.
Just be a cryptids bro!
I just have to ask… Yes your 3D printed socket holder is lower profile than a standard nut driver handle, but…
You do know that standard ratchet handles are even lower profile than that right? And that ratcheting box wrenches are even lower profile than *that*, right?
I am just starting so the parts list of bearings and bolts would be excellent! thank you for this video
You never show the pocket holes π this guide doesn’t work without metal guide
Dunno about that circular saw over my head haha
Good video. And so many fun and cool things you can print… but then again nothing that justifies the purchase of a 3D printer and all that filament. Almost everything can also be obtained simply and cheaply in other ways or you can make it yourself without such a printer and almost always in more professional quality.
I’d be interested in the stuff that you need for 3D printing
I made a stand for my cannabis vape pens. Because they’re supposed to be kept upright, but nearly impossible to balance. They slide into the stand and it just gives a broad base that makes them trivial to balance.
this is a bunch of great ideas, thank you!
I preordered the p1p Bambu and it is shipped! Me and my friend bought 1 each to learn 3D printing together. it is tons of fun and cool to finally have bought one!
We are both Starters to this and we have done a lot of training and watching youtube guides π
Would love to see the list of tools for 3D printers
Tools and accessories list would be good
Make a video about things from AliExpress
Yes to every idea you mentioned. Stiumbled on your channel and appreciate your work, Great video
A 3D tool video would be great..
Been watching a bunch of videos trying to justify my growing urge to buy a 3d printer…. Shop vac hose adapters almost pushed me over the edge
I just orderd my first 3d printer and binge watching your videos. Can’t wait to start, but have to because the printer has not arrived yet. Thank you for your helpfull videos, I’m learning a lot!
I also live in israel and I would love to meet you anywhere
I would to get more 3d printing.
Praise be the GridFinity
The filament welder you linked in the description appears to no longer exist at that link. Do you happen to know of an updated link or any way I might be able to get the files? I have many almost empty rolls that I would like to splice together but the first one I tried was never very reliable
Ps diamonds are not ideal for cutting steel or another ferrous metal as the carbon from diamond just leaches into the metal as opposed to cutting it.
Awesome video! I particularly loved the dremel tool sharpener; that was pretty genius. Thanks for all of the ideas!
2:04 $30-$40 for some piece of plastic that you can easily get 200x as much with just $15+ π and time of course, thatβs ALSO plastic!
3D printing Heaven
Brilliant Video that gives me a list of things to print for my workshop.ππ
They are called Sanding "Blocks"
Please do a video on all the 3D printing tools you use, you may have already competed one and I haven’t found it yet. Thank you.
I am DIY Hobbyist & Woodworker. I just bought a new 3D printer over the holidays. My goal for getting a 3D printer is precisely this i.e. building functional items around home & workshop. Your channel seems very much aligned to that same goal.
Subscribed to your channel already & looking forward to more relevant content.
nice!…. nut 9:45 did you just put that corner hole jig on the wrong side? I mean, the holes should go from one board to the other… or was your intention to screw the board to the workbench?
A parts triage kit is another great video..
I would add ‘custom’ funnels to this list. I’ve got different shaped funnels lying around for different uses that could have easily been printed. Who knows when you need that specific shaped funnel that bends around a corner and has to fit a certain sized spigot?
How in the heck am I suppose to pay attention to the content of this video when you are so good looking?!!!
There is never too Much Info or tips, BRING IT ON!!!
Absolutely would love a list of recommended stuff to order for bearings/nuts/bolts/etc!!!
This video is really good in terms of everything actually, really liked it, so subscribed, liked and wrote this comment π
I don’t know why, but I think it’s awesome you live in Israel. Also, love the vid as well
Another advantage to printing your own bench dogs is you can print custom shaped bench dogs for better clamping onto oddly shaped parts. For example, if you need to clamp paneling on the tongue or groove side you can make custom bench dog heads that fit into the groove or around the tongue for a better hold than just the most-protruding edge. (I haven’t done this myself, but the example just popped into my head while writing this comment.)
"Fillet" is often pronounced in a French way: "Fillay"
I would love to hear more about all the extra components you have around for your projects or even what you have on hand to troubleshoot your printers. Thank you!
list of all the tolls needed .
