Today I give some uses for a 3d printer in the machine or wood shop. I love my 3d printer and it's an extremely useful and reliable tool for any maker. thanks for watching! -Jesse www.jesseborn.... @Prusa3D
I really enjoyed this video, thank you! It's sparked a few ideas for me. I bought my printer mainly to create molds and tools and shop fittings, but since then I've had some more ideas... I'm thinking of making a better dust extractor rotor, thinking about designing the rotor vanes and 3D printing them, this way I can experiment with airfoil designs and how many vanes for best air movement. Also I have this idea that I can improve the seal between the rotor and the inlet as well using printed seals, and even get a bearing on each end of a rotor shaft using a custom end seal/right angle/endcap - that would make for a far more stable rotor that would probably also run quieter. And don't forget you can print parts that can form part of a shop product, too. Cabinetmakers used brass because it was a design fusion of wood and metal work, but a good nylon or other engineering plastic can now be any colour you like within reason, and become a 'fusion' feature of a product.
