So... Basically it's the gridfinity wall panels that you use in this video I'm watching? If you haven't heard of gridfinity, it's mostly known for being a desk based system, where any flat surface can be turned into a compartmentalized storage system, whether it's metal toolbox drawers, or any kind of open space that's flat... Mr Freedman, (I forget his first name) is the creator of that system, and although I don't know if he is the original creator of the hexagonal wall system like you have here, he does make very good use of either this or a system very similar to this for wall stuff, and the version he designed was designed to be mostly similar to his flat surface/desk design... But you know what? Whether he is the original creator of this system or not, that's the beauty of this system. The fact that this system can have parts added to it or remixed to fit different standards or any number of things, which is why I love the whole 3D printing scene. There are plenty of things I would love to do that I can't do because I don't have a 3D printer, and I am to be honest, not the best at doing CAD modeling in the first place... But some day though, I'm going to do it, I think... Just need the money for a 3d printer and some filament 😂😂
You never fail to impress. I just installed a bunch of metal pegboard in my garage so I wasn't really looking to do any new wall storage, but stayed for the whole video because of how well it was presented.
Same here. I just installed a bunch of metal pegboard. Wish I’d seen this first, as my biggest peeve with the pegboard is finding appropriate hooks for what I want to hang, and the hooks eventually cost way more than the pegboard did! The idea of custom designing your own holders is the real winner here!
@@osmondwong508 Good thought. I hadn't considered this, as the pegboard holes are quite small for rubustly attaching 3D printed hangers. Would PLA be strong enough, or would a filament like PETG or Nylon be required?
This video is a perfect example of how 3D printers will turn us all insane. If this was a system that someone sold for $75, we would all agree that it was super finicky and not worth it. But because we've custom printed it, we think it's the best thing ever.
The thing is - someone who'd sell it to us would use injection molds and sell it for a lot less than $75. And with it being cheaper we wouldn't care about it being finicky either.
Yeah, I made a test print and noped right out. Doesn't help that it actually isn't cheap (in filament and power) compared to the alternatives. Skadis was far cheaper for me.
Very nice! I got a sheet of plywood, painted it white, anchored it to the wall with four screws and just drilled holes whever I wanted to mount something. $20 and I will never have to worry about it breaking. fast, strong, cheap and doesn't trigger my virtigo from all the holes. If I really want to move a hook I drill a new hole and if I really don't want to see the old hole I can either print a dummy peg or just put $0.01 worth of dowel in the hole.
@@2degucitas before you put up the sheet, put some spacers behind it. Mount some 2x4s, 2x2s, etc, to the wall, or you can just screw them to the back of the sheet if it’s going on top of a desk/workbench, just to keep it away from the wall, and however thick the spacers are, that’s how much room you have to drill without hitting the wall. If you have 2 inches, mark off 2” or less on your drill bit with tape, and the tape prevents you from going too far and drilling into the wall.
I used to do that, but not very flexible. But glad you reminded me. Think I will do plywood on to my walls, and then screw the hexgrids to it. Best of both, and no wall anchors to defile my sense of craftsmanship!
Да Вы просто гений организации рабочего места. Всевозможных органайзеров! Мне нравится Ваша продвинутая позиция в решении таких задач. Плюс,подача с юмором просто радует душу. Спасибо за оперативные знания и позитив.
The bambu lab printers are really user friendly. I went from having 0 experience 3d printing with an unopened printer in a box to having my first benchy (it's a little tugboat that's a test print) in hand about an hour later. And that was including the print time of the figure.
I’d love to see failure tests to see maximum weight capacities. Like at what weight does a single cell fail. Or with how much torque would it take for a mount to sheer out…
I needed a complex shaped fitted ring for a project and I figured it would be easier to 3d print it so I went to look at online 3d printing services, and it would have been over $200 for a very small amount of plastic! So instead I bought an Ender 3 for the same price lol. Now I can move myself into the 'have a printer' category! It's like when I was a kid and used to buy new gameboys just so I could play the new pokemon
I've always kept the idea of having a 3D Printer but never really justified buying it, ‘till I just saw this video and realized I *need* one now lol. So, now I'm gonna go down a rabbit hole to find the best one for me xD.
I saw a cool technique recently where you can use a traditional paper document scanner to very accurately 2d scan an object. If you include a metal rule in the scan for calibration, you very easily have all the measurements, angles etc of the object you want to design. Easier than calipers.
Glad to see someone doing a video on this. I've got my tool wall in my basement shop decked out in the HSW stuff. I've even designed and published some things myself. I use HSW for the walls and gridfinity when the storage is horizontal (Drawers).
Literally one of the most helpful RU-vid videos I've ever watched. I have a couple of instances where standard pegboard just wasn't right. Now I know what to do.
No way! I was literally trying to think of a way I could 3D print something rather than getting just one big non-size-adjustable peg board to hang my drones and RC vehicles on, and this is the perfect solution, looks awesome too!
It should also be noted that PLA is subject to deformation when strain is applied to it over time, especially if it is in a hot environment (like a lot of garages are). If you're going to 3D print these grids, I'd recommend a higher than usual infill percentage and give it a minimum of 3 shells.
Wow dude. This is magic. I could add led stripes on the back... Or maybe using some kind of translucent 3d print and the led strip lights to reflect that light...
Thank you so much for this one! Great video! Bought the Bambu X1-C printer because of this video. It is an amazing machine and crazy fast. Printed the HC wall as well and the remix pro-tip for the edges saved me a ton of time and looks perfect! PS - Being new to the 3D printer world, I have to say that it is very time consuming to sit there and stare at the printer for hours while it does its thing xD lol
Have you ever seen shadow foam? It's a customizable foam cut out product and looks mega cool. You end up with a "shadow" of the tool (in whichever color brand you're loyal to) So you never lose another tool !
The problem with those is flexibility. What do you do when you want to add a tool but didn't leave enough space? You cannot rearrange it. Or what if you upgrade a tool and it is no longer the same shape? My tools change too often for that kind of system. This hex grid looks amazing!
Nice! I probably would have gone with a lighter coloured filament so it blends into the wall more, and that way the tools you're looking for stand out more, but that's just personal taste. Looks good though!
And it would give the tools a "floating" effect..(I ask, as I do not know, is there a clear filament?)... Great idea Naasking.... Brad, keep up the AWESOME work...
@@jackknows6509 I have seen some labeled as clear, but I am not sure if they are actually clear or translucent with _(very little)_ white tint .. as you can also get translucent with other tints -- red, orange, blue, purple, green, black/gray -- that are also available as solid colored material
You can print now in airspace there a new way of printing that allows printing without any supports. I have not looked into it yet, but will eventually when I get time. It opens up way more possibilities and less waste.
one of my first 3d prints was actually an air nozzle I designed for my shopvac, so that when it is on the "blow" mode it creates a very high volume of air to dust stuff, dry off cars after washing, fill up inflatable pools and what not
I am I am only 47 seconds into the video. And the fact that I'm seeing all his cabinets and things made up. In his. Workshop it's amazing it's looking really good man. I wish I could make things like that and have a complete space with my things.
Beeautiful. I imagine an alternative would be to CNC or maybe laser cut the same hex pattern in timber or mdf if someone wants a more solid backing, then screw into studs and plug the screws for a clean look and more useable grids. Great outcome!
Nice freeze frame of Taken in the background right at the "I will find you..." moment. Thanks for sharing this, now I wish my printer had a larger print area for these types of projects. But, I love the detail I get out of my resin printer. Pros and cons. Again, thanks for the video.
As Death The Kid from Soul Eater would say, "Perfectly symmetrical, it's beautiful!" Making the can holder for your Mtn Dew is the most important step to this project. Had you forgotten it you would have been universally maligned, and cast out as a heretic, LOL. Okay, maybe not, but you get my point. Outstanding work on this, and I really appreciate you sharing your mistakes rather than burying them.
First time watching one of your videos and I'm SUPER impressed! You're better than a professional TV personality. I just loved this video and found it because I've very recently got into 3D printing (Bambu X1-Carbon) :D Thanks for some great information AND entertainment! Well done!
Very cool, Brad~! Very modular system. For your drawers, there's a guy, Zack Freedman, that created an organization system called Grid-Finity that works great~! I've printed some of his designs for organizing my storage drawers. Very flexible~! I think he mainly posts on Thangs, but most of those sites cross pollinate between each other (Thingiverse, Thangs, Printables, etc...). Just thought I'd give it a mention.
I have a resin 3d printer and I love it, but I would also like to get a large FDM printer for more variety in plastics and larger things. My resin 3d printer isnt even that high of a resolution, but it can print amazing detail on very tiny things. I have also been 3d modeling things in video games for 15+ years, so its been really cool to see some of my designs come to life in person. Also makes it easy to modify other peoples 3d files to my own preferences
Good job, nice system. Last time I painted my shop, it was a real pain to take everything down. So much so, that I kept my walls clean afterward and said "never again". Now I keep everything in drawers. And drawers. And drawers and drawers and drawers and drawers and drawers and drawers...
Very very nice. I have never been more motivated to unpack the 3d printer we got a while back. Most interested in the tolerances as I’m sure many are. Great videos.
Edge pieces please. Corners and flat parts. Really need them, cannot really FINISH my walls without them. It's literally "driving me up the wall" ;) ... just not far up enough that wall.
Such an educational, inspirational, and entertaining video! Now you've got me thinking about tearing down my pegboard and putting up this grid... But let's be honest, I probably won't because ain't nobody got time for that.
Honeycomb storage wall also works with multiboard. Multiboard is kinda beefy version with pegboard inserts and well as hex. I recommend looking into it for further modification...
Another awesome video! You know what they say, "Symmetry is Beauty" ....................... I share your OCD for that and " a place for everything and everything in its place", I know where every tool in my shop is, I haven't quite labeled each location .............. I'm jealous, where's my label maker!
Looking for the edge pieces and the corner pieces. I went and printed the main areas first and spent forever looking through all the files thinking the edge pieces were somewhere. 3 days later I finally realized you did not include them... in the links as you had said that you would when you made the video. Please please post them.
here in Brazil we don't have IKEA but I really love the look of the Skadis system, so I decided I'd order from a local plasma cutting service, this way I could have a Skadis of any size
I started planning one of these walls so I glad to see a video on it. I am now even more excited to get it done. Great video! How easy are the insertes to remove to rearrange after the wall is up?
I'd highly recommend tuning everything before you print all the grids and inserts. Test on a small 3x3 grid and see what settings work best. And there is a link to a remover tool in my collection as well
I really like the jokes you out in the videos, like when u hit tje fly. Its amazing and adds a toooooon, is not like the other, just one dude building things, jeep it uupp!! Grettings from argentina
