EASY shop organization with a 3d printer
EASY shop organization with a 3d printer
What’s the most valuable tool in YOUR shop??
I guess a better title may have been “the most versatile shop tool in my shop” but oh well. I think you get the point.
3D printers are becoming much more approachable these days. They aren’t just for nerds printing bust of super heroes or cheap knock off Pokémon anymore (Don’t be confused, I’m one of them too). I thought I’d take some time to show some of you how a 3d printer can be used in a wood shop.
Now I could make a feature film on all the different things you can print for a wood shop and I have a hard enough time entertaining you for 10 minutes so I stuck to a fast paced, mostly quick, overview.
I hope you enjoy it. As always, thank you for sticking with me even if it was out of pity. ❤

You keep saying the 3d printing community is filled with smart people. Yet im in the 3d printing community. So obviously you are wrong.
First time seeing one of your videos. Bro….epic beard!
Nice viddy. One question — these files you speak of, are they free? You don’t really make it clear in the video 🙃
Love it! Now I have to go get my 3D printer out of a moving box and try to remember how to put the thing back together. 😂
There is PLA filament that has real wood fibers, like walnut, bamboo, ebony. You can sand it and stain it.
Did you have a try on making featherboard for your table saw? My neighbour has 3 printers but they’re resin based or something. Do you think it’s a good idea?
You could also get wood filament (sawdust mixed with PLA) and mix both woodworking and 3D printing, print it out of the wood filament and then sand and stain it.
Hmm I like this guy. DIY woodworker here and just got my 1st 3D printer. Thanks for the cool ideas and presentation.
Not just the shop too. Custom parts for things around the house that costs $100+ to replace because they broke. Saved so far around $1200 by designing and printing replacement parts. Printer paid for itself.
Great video Jason your making me think again about a 3D printer it’s an itch that might just need a good scratching
I have absolutely no use for a 3d printer…at least I didn’t think so until I watched this video! ***Adds to Amazon cart***
I’m so tired of epoxy river tables 😭 is the demand for them that strong from the rich yuppie community?
Awesome job Jason!! I have so many things I want to print😅😅😅 too many!
The glue daddy caddy is a stroke of genius!
if I can figure out how to use a 3D printer… ANYONE CAN!
Great video Jason! I don’t have my own 3D printer but I do have access and I have made a few things for my shop. I think you’re right, a 3D printer absolutely has a place in the wood shop. Keep up the great work!
My best print for the home shop was PVC pipe connectors. Did not need them for liquids, just to build a frame. The local store was 3.50 each and I needed about 2 dozen. Instead I 3D printed " X " type where the pipe slides over for roughly 0.08 each.
Great video!!! Will your printer still print in monochrome if you run out of yellow, magenta, or cyan?
The Algorithm sent me here. Your editing style is fun. Glad to see someone else getting 3D printing information to the masses.
Damn it. Now I need to buy a 3D printer for my already crowded workshop.
Awesome video man
The school I worked at last year had a few dozen printers. Those kids were making all sorts of cool stuff. I may/may not have gotten a few of my kiddos scheduled in a class just so I could tinker with them
Plastic is horrible for the environment.
Get a CNC and stick with wood. It grows back.
Thank you. I have been circling printers and you helped me take the plunge
I agree with you on every point, I would just add, manage your expectations. Environment affects 3D printing, my settings for printing are different in summer than they are in winter because the works space I use. So for the 3D printing newbie, just be patient, try a few things and don’t give up, once you figure out your printer setting that fits your environment you are golden.
Awesome video, I was a finish carpenter for a few years and made tons of gigs in wood. A 3D printer would have saved years 🙂
Awesome video but that Lee dude seems shady 🤨
News from AnyCubic. They just announced the Kobra 2 Pro. If you are looking for a smarter, faster printer for just 279. Probably consider that one.
Great video, and spot on. I don’t have nearly as much time for woodworking as I’d like, so I picked up a Bambu X1C earlier this year so I could automate some production and free up some time. Now I have two X1Cs and no time for woodworking. I probably need a CNC to balance things out.
great video, thanks for posting!
i love the hungry reference at the end
I worked at a MakerSpace and used the 3D printers there more often than I thought I would. Usually it was to make some sort of jig or something to help my woodworking. I made paint/finish triangles and right angle brackets a lot. Such a fun job. I was able to get my son involved and he loved the 3D printers. Now that he’s 15 he’s been saving for his own. THe MakerSpace is a little too far for us to travel to often. But picking the right one… was something I wasn’t sure about. We had Ultimakers and those are way out of the price range. Glad you recommended one.
solid thumbnail
Are you like me? You have a list of tools you want/need and are slowly chipping away at that list from most needed on down? 3D printer is definitely on that list, and after watching your video it just bumped up a few spots. Nice video. Keep ‘‘em coming👍😎
😎⚒️😎⚒️😎
I won’t lie… I a little part of me died inside seeing your paper towel holder screwed to your French cleat wall! The nerve! You need to put that thing on a cleat and use my bottom flush mount cleat locks to lock it on. It’s also a free 3d printed download along with my swiveling cleat locks that are perfect for your French cleat wall.

one huge thing you missed out on are router templates.
Being able to design your own templates and print them out accurately is a god send. It opens up a whole world of things you can make.
That and other types of tooling are great. Not tools but just things that can help you out with other tools.
Need a 90degree adapter for your sander, pretty sure you can find and 3D print one for just about any sander you want. No more wonky edges!!!
Another great video my dude! Now you got me thinking about swapping out my 3D printer
