You said all your files were there, what about the one with the blue handle? Also not as lame as making a video about repairing a fish net, although I did love that video.

i think gridfinity can be useful when you have a really high density of stuff to keep straight, my tool drawer used to be just so much crap stacked and tangled together just because of how much i was storing there

I could do with a foot support like that under my bench too... I might actually take that into consideration when I get to building my own bending... brake? break? sheet-metal-bendy-thing-machine.

Did you try Food Dehydrator for silicagel? My goes to 70C, but it's forced airflow, maybe that's enough for it?

I do appreciate having learned in a high school shop where every tool holder was custom made, mostly from wood. All slots were filled at the end of the class period. (Except bar clamps used for glued assemblies.) If a board with holes in it works, it is likely the optimal solution, at least in the tradition in which I was taught.

Great vid, great shots. The wood and stampings was 100% the right way to go there.

I feel like a celebrity having my comment referenced. But then again the video's theme was "gridfinity is just kinda useful sometimes". ;) Glad to see you're getting some hours on that Bambu.

Nice work sir. Interesting video.

Yeah, I dabbled with gridfinity but went with a much simpler set of a few draw dividers for my tool and tooling cabinets, made with ali strip, much larger groupings like yourself. Far faster to create as well. Printed up some ER collet holders, but most of my tooling lives in the carousel most of the time. I don't need that degree of fussiness for my tools, and I like generous part drawers for my small components etc, not pokey boxes. It just seemed like a bunch of pointless busywork. My printer has better things to do than spend hours printing boxes for boxes for boxes. Zack is a wonderful chasp however and I don't mean to slight him in the slightest, the sly Shakespearian speil-iologist. Not all shoes fit all feet is all, as I'm certain he'd agree. There is a great deal of follow the leader fashion victim thinking out there, you get it in everything, annoys the hell of me. The "you don't do it like that ,you do it like this" brigade, lemmings who have abdicated original thought, the "maker" fraternity is chocka with them, it's sort of sadly ironic.

That bathtub curve is a classic for electronic components. Just annoying when it's you who picks up the infants.

Thanks for the great video! At 7:20 the spool says PETG which you may have meant to say, after respoolling don’t want you to run into issues in the future with temp problems. Routing MFD inserts for drawers is another nononsense organization solution I’ve seen for tools

Try Shadow Foam in the cabinet draws, they have a RU-vid channel

Really nice.

Good video RotaySMP

Grid-Finicky!

My 1972 lathe came with identical collet storage. Still like new! Lots to be said for wood.

Three persons work in my shop. My 28 year old carpet cutter that I use for removing dried silicone around covers and mating housings (Gearboxes) went missing. Its been 3 weeks and Its still driving me nuts where it can be? The shadow system sounds awesome. Oh and the Two other persons I work along side are family. If misplacement is the case I can understand.

Dude that ain’t wood 13:19 Is it some particleboard, plywood or something more delux like that fancy layer material the name of which escapes me at the moment.

I kind of wish Mitutoyo used a gridfinity compatible plastic packaging such that rather than becoming single use waste plastic, it instead provides the perfect home for the gauge for the rest of its life. If other manufacturers followed suit, this could be a nice standard. Maybe ISO should adopt it?

Few are capable of this level of self reflection.

How much did you get pay for your unit or was it supplied by Bambu? Thank you!

15:50 You haven’t managed to find Reseda Green nail polish for the wife? 😅

As a Quality Engineer, I was thinking "What's the failure rate of that board" then you talked about the Bathtub curve.

Any idea if you can put two similar spools into the AMS and have the printer swap over when one goes empty?

12:50 Band / Track ?

I liked it anyway.

Hahaha, sorry, I liked this lame video 😅 Had to thumb it up🎉

My toolbox has self-closing drawers in the last few cm of travel, then the abrupt stop. Clunk! This makes everything shuffle back a bit every time I close the drawer. Rubber mats, foam, silicon mats do nothing, every few weeks I have to pull it all back to the front and smooth out the creases in the liner. So I have to invent arrangements that stack rear to front, which is not great for usability. So that's annoying. My dad's old oak chest of drawers doesn't have this problem, never needed to close itself, and the contents of the drawers stay where they're put. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment, hope you're not drowning over there.

Great music

Couldn't bring myself to click the 'thumbs down' button, so I guess I messed up the lame video detection algorithm. Not only that, I've also been gridfinity-ing my way through the workshop and I'm determined to use it where there's really a better solution just so everything matches :-) How nerdy am I? - Heather PS: just helped my brother pickup a neglected second-hand lathe. I think he got a nice little bargain there.

I like the 🪵finity solution!

Too much organisation kills flexibility. So, better not push it too much :)

Like the number punch idea 😀 I’ve 3D printed some trays to hold end mills they work really well but no grids though 🤣

I only liked it, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

Hmm, for some reason I assumed the AMS box itself might be a dryer as well

It's great that you're using your 3D printer wisely! It's usually faster, more stable and more practical to grab some wood and make it yourself quickly. Unfortunately, RU-vid is full of lots of pointless prints. Of course, not everyone has access to machines or the ability to work with wood, so 3D printers are a great solution. Now I feel guilty for having watched you tidying up. I feel compelled to tidy up a bit myself. 😫

I think you are holding out on us Mark, those numbers stamped on are way too neat! They would be a total mess if left to me, no two on the same line, all at different angles, and no way I could do two digit numbers, must be your secret power for sure!

Muito bom !

It's pretty crazy how much filament is wasted by printing multi-colour or with support material. Early on I bought an additional AMS thinking I would do a lot more of that but you really only need one. (yes with the needed multi ams mixing thing that goes on the back)

2 Down 1 Up 🙃🙃😊

I love your organization. I can never seem to catch up enough to do cool projects like this. Here’s to living vicariously!

❤great stuff eh

Love the flowers on the wall….

The problem with anything that makes your toolbox neater is that you can fit in far fewer tools. My spanner drawer is three deep... Not a problem if you have the space and the money for many toolboxes, but if you are constrained for space you don't have that option.

Gridfinity lovers: the vegans of the home shop world 😂

The video wasn't THAT bad. I've only clicked the thumbs down once!!1 😜

Organization is never a thumbs down.

You need a laser for your workshop. A laser like this is an ideal addition to a 3D printer. With the laser you could have marked the holes or even cut them out (but I prefer marking) and engraved the numbers into the wood. It's almost Christmas. 🎅🏻

Gridfinity is overrated, just keep your stuff in old coffee cans or cardboard boxes. You can get a bit fancy and use tupperware and label them even. Alternatively, embrace the chaos :)

Beautiful old school wooden collet holder!! Smashed that one out of the park! Fits in with all the other classic equipment
