Can i print my own bolts? 🤔 It’s an honest question.
Kool video and thanks for sharing. 🤗
Novelties. Make any of these in a couple of minutes with scrap wood.
Некоторые весьма интересны. Другие гениальны! Благодарю
8:00 Instead of lowering the infill feed and weaken the part, why not use ironing of toplayer?
What filament did you use. And whats the strongest filament there is ?
thats not a torch its a flashlight. A torch has fire
Just wanted to say : thanks a lot ! That’s a good choice so many on Thingiverse, will not waste time to look for others 🙂
Hello, it would be interesting to present a product that can facilitate the cutting of 100mm pvc pipes, among others.
Super🔥🔥👍💯
They don’t want to put this on the official list, but a lower receiver.
Thank you for the inspiration!
Great Job. I’m a beginner in case of 3D printing. So this examples are great. I look forward to see more of this stuff.
great video where can i find these tools?
Chopped TShirt and a Jimny! 👌
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
I never seen a plastic radius gage, pretty cool.
2:31 is that a 3d printed Sharpie sherpa? Or just off brand?
What is the best panel scribing tool for PLA 3D prints. I print a lot of aircraft, spaceships, and armor vehicles. In many cases I like to add more panel lines and rivet patterns to add more detail to simple 3D prints. Any suggestions?
Watching this as I’m printing parts for my printer.
Hola….muy buen video….util y practico….me llamo la atencion el soporte para el papel de lija….si tuviera una impresora 3d me haria uno…..jajaja…..saludos….
Loved the video and definitely a lot of tools I’ll be looking to 3D print as I do a lot of DIY. I noticed from your list the “Kant twist clamp” link doesn’t work. Could you check this and let me know what the link for it is please. Thanks in advance
2:45 Whoah! Is that your bottom layer? How did you get it so homogenous without gaps and lines? I’ve been fiddling around for a month now and i still see huge voids between the bottom layer lines. I generally also need at least 4 layers for the part to not let any light through when i hold it in front of a lamp.
Layer height, extrusion width, flow, speed, skin overlap, i played with everything. Still looks…meh. (and yes, my bed is level and Z offset is tuned in. even went over it with an indicator for levelling 😉 )
Any really cheap 3D printing companies. I submitted the center finder to JLBPCB and they can’t handle more than one piece. They don’t have the capability to do multi parts STL prints. But their PCB value is incredible
What kind of filament was used for these tools? I just bought a printer and some pla to go with it. I understand that pla isn’t the strongest material, however, I didn’t know if it would suffice for these tools or if I need to consider ordering some other kind of filament.
YEP THAT DAMN MODDING BUG GOT ME GOOD!!! I ALWAYS look for any and all mods there are for my Ender 3 Pro. I was printing a fan duct but the last lil bit of filament I had got wasted when my girls damn cat hit the printer n dislodged the print and I wasn’t here so I didn’t know and it wasted the last bit of filament. N since Im poor I have no money for filament 🙁
One thing to be aware of if you print only with PLA is that it is not dimensionally stable – it shrinks over time. Tight things get loose and loose things get tight after a while.
Imperfections in a sanding block DO affect its performance. At best, you will wear out your sandpaper very quickly. At worst, you never get a smooth surface.
good video, i haven’t even got a 3d printer but i heard you can print one??? lol
why you have so many 3d printers? oh you must be rich…
I have a use for all of these tools, thanks.
That tube cutter is the best of the bunch, especially since I could have really used it to cut the Capricorn tube for my Ender 3 Pro!
Never heard of a Radius being called a ‘ fillet ‘ before, but radius guages are a neat thing. Worked aerospace for 2 & 1/2 years, got good enough to grind a non critical radius within 5000ths ( just slightly bigger than a human hair) by eye. Even had to prove it to a supervisor to shut him up. He was always saying ‘ put a guage on it ‘ , I showed him my skill and he had to admit it was super in front of everyone.😁
First video. Great content.
Love the chuck key for the drill press being on a chain. That thing ain’t going anywhere.
7:25 – That reminds me of the ruler set I bought for measuring tubing when I was building my hard-line water cooling loop. Wish I had my printer then!! lol
I made the circle center finder, the one piece one.
9:06 You didn’t say ‘acurately’ very acreatly!
The contour one is interesting… you cna use the old Pin face thing that science toy, but instead of the 3d printed fins that are low fidelity.. the tiny metal pins are more accurate… and you cna create amag/ or clamp that stops them from returning while you trace hte deisgn and hten reset the tool.
At the 9:05 mark, you’re using the tool incorrectly. Don’t put the small end against the corner, and push the pieces in, do the reverse. Put the thick end against the corner and push up against it. The excess will then be pushed away.
Technically a centerline tool is better at an infnite use length… meaning you only need two knobs and a center whole ot draw a center line, but if hte knobs are adjustible… you can bring them in and if they are swivel with falt surface you can match the surface… If you want ot always make it to the End of the instrument ot center measure you need three knobs… Whereas two knobs can make a centerline but runs out of realestate to make the line ot hte ned of the thing… in teh center…
Three knobs.. and adjustible placements of hte knobs allows… any size.. and mid line ot any points.
The tube cutter has a great face for chomping!
any novelty measurement tool maybe besides the square is usually unneccessary since calipers are just so good they’ll get the job done before you find the damn tool.
It’s Not a filet gauge!!!!!!! It’s a radius gauge
I agree. A lot of prints are just random stuff, but I appreciate both this videos usefulness and appropriateness(tools that would actually work if printed instead of being to weak for their purpose)
Love your chopped shirt! Are you a MCM fan?
I made some clamps that work, but I only had petg which is garbage compared to PLA.
I need help. My printer stsrt to print parts two times shorter. Width and length are good, but height two times smaller. Do you know what the problem is?
I’ve been subscribed a while, but first time I really paid attention. Time is short, in my life, but this has been time, well spent. I am heading out to view some of your other vids, hopefully they are of the same caliber. Thank you !!
Potentially dumb question, but how do you design that "bumpy" surface in Onshape? I noticed it on most of the prints. Or is that just the texture of the bed?
my favorite 3d printed tool would be a mini lathe… really need to do that thing!
