@KeithSkates Год назад

Long time industrial maintenance tech tip: The hex heads with the little ball keepers are neat, but you can accomplish the same thing by placing a small piece of a plastic bag over the end of your normal Allen wrench. This makes for a nice tight fit so the bolt doesn't fall off the end before you reach the deep dark depths of whatever machine you're working on.

@BeefIngot Год назад

The bike shedding problem is exactly why I recommend people not buy project printers, because I know people 99% of the time don't want to actually tinker even if they say that. What they really mean is they want to put a silly hat on it and that's it. Just get a P1S, X1C or MK4s, and then actually do things.

@lonewolfsstuck Год назад

I am quite a big fan of printing on tempered glass. I have printed on it for close to 2 years now on 3 printers and love it. it holds tight on every filament type i have used (PLA, PETG, Nylon, ABS) and once you wait for it to cool down often times the part just pops right off without any effort. Its tricky to get it to print initially but with mesh bed level and some patience you too can have glossy shiny first layer prints lol

@Thee_Gamefanatic Год назад

Wham bam PEX works great with PETG. A tip to keep them from bonding is to use glue stick. If your PETG or other filament isn't sticking, clean with rubbing alcohol and paper towel until towel comes out clean. Then follow up with 00-aught steel wool with rubbing alcohol as a lubricant to scuff up the surfaces. When done clean again. Doing this right will make the surface stick like new.

@d3c0deFPV Год назад

Surprisingly reasonable advice! Definitely guilty of a few of these. In my experience the metal bed removal tool won't damage a glass bed, and I used one for years with no noticeable damage, but it does become a problem for basically any other print surface. I have filament as old as 2017 that's been stored in well maintained dryboxes and still prints fine, but yeah prolonged exposure to moisture and you're on a highway to degradation town.

@Woodledude Год назад

Yeah, that checks out - If you have no moisture getting in, the degratory reactions wouldn't be happening. That takes good discipline and practices with a good drybox setup, of course, not to mention a filament dryer to match in most cases. So the advice to "use it or lose it" is overall pretty fitting for most people.

@d3c0deFPV Год назад

@@Woodledude Printing Nylon early on forced me build this discipline quickly. 5 gallon buckets with rubber gasket sealed lids and an esp32 for each that alerts me when humidity goes over 15% so I can dry the desiccant. Also started using activated alumina a while back and it keeps humidity very low. All my hygroscopic filaments print from another dry box. But yeah, doubt most people go to these lengths.

@HumanShield117 Год назад

I don't use it often enough, but Adam Savage has a great rule for avoiding mistake 1: Any time you buy a new tool, you should always start with the cheapest one you can find. If you use it enough to break it, you're allowed to get a nicer/more expensive one.

@conorstewart2214 Год назад

There is a major flaw with that. If the cheap tool doesn’t do as good or fast a job then that is a valid reason to replace it. Like Zach showed in the video, cheap hex keys can mess up bolts and you could keep going until it breaks or you could save yourself a lot of time and stop damaging bolts and just buy a decent set. It is a good rule for some tools and some situations but for most it isn’t that great.

@HumanShield117 Год назад

@@conorstewart2214 This is true, but it's a good starting-point for just about any tool. I think the example Adam Savage used was getting a cheap power-drill for a single project. I also mentioned that I'm not the best about following it, and this is the main reason why. But I still find it useful to keep in mind when shopping for tools.

@conorstewart2214 Год назад

@@HumanShield117 I also think it is a strange rule to come from Adam Savage when he seems to just spend money almost impulsively.

@HumanShield117 Год назад

@@conorstewart2214 It's his attempt at curbing some of that spending. Because spending...(I don't know what they cost) ~$60 on a drill, and only ever using for that one project is a huge savings, especially when it's so easy to feel like you need all the fancy features of the $200 drill...when in truth, only someone that uses it for several hours a day actually needs those... But it's so easy to tell yourself that you'd actually use it, and just get the better one to start with, and fighting that gave me the same vibes as the "spending spree" that Zack mentions.

I was always miles below the mantle, mining ever deeper. Now at 46, and just exhausted, I bought a MK4 about a month ago, and it's printing something right now, and I've not only modified nothing, I haven't even looked at any of the connectors or things on the sides and back of the printer. I haven't had a jam yet, but when I do, I'm up the creek until I investigate how the nozzle works in the first place. Right now it's mostly magic.

@squidcaps4308 Год назад

Card scrapers are better than deburring tool, in so many ways that it is ridiculous that they aren't in every top 5 tool list.. Haven't used deburring tool in years. I use small card scrapers, made from fish deboning tweezers. Much faster, less problems of blade eating into the plastic, can do curved edges in any direction. Also can be used on other edges, on gradual slopes, and to replace by far most of sanding. It is my #1 tip. Small card scrapers are absolutely in the top 5 of tools you need. Once you try it, you will never go back to old methods, the control and effectiveness, and no dust finish.... It is strange that it still is not more widely known in 3D printing community.

First thing I bought after getting a printer was a deburring tool, best 10 bucks i spent thus far I keep my filament in a big rubbermade container with a shitload of silica inside. Once every 3 months i pull the silica out and stick it in the oven at 200 for about 2 hours and it's ready to suck moisture again. I found myself getting frustrated trying to print some nerf muskets. Some of the stock parts are fairly complex and either supports would fail, or the parts would warp while printing, etc. After some time I just started changing the way they were built. One of the hardest parts that kept warping or printing bad dimensions was set to build on its right side and build sideways. Ended up rotating it around till I had it building upside down (the top part of the stock was the part on the build plate) and bam, prints out perfect every time. Sometimes it's just little tweaks that fix the problem, just need to think outside the box

"Mistakes so common you're probably making one right now and not even realizing it" me who doesn't have an FDM printer, "huh, I wonder what mistakes I'm making"

Fun fact, sometimes you want moist filament! Say if youre using a weedwhacker that uses plastic filament to cut, soaking the filament in water prior to use can actually improve flexibility and cause it to snap less often

@NigelTolley Год назад

Yeah, but that's nylon, and nylon is weirdly and immensely hydrophilic anyway! (Old school people used to print with strimmer line, back before you could easily get filament. And you can use (1.75mm) filament to refill your strimmer too! Use nylon...)

I have an AnkerMake M5, and I can confirm it’s fast, and easy as hell to assemble. The app can do everything the screen can do, and more. 10/10 printer Edit: the AnkerMake M5 has a print cam, and you can stop it from the app

The alliteration is off the charts on this one. Love it.

Finishing the project is a great tip. So often I put more effort into printing the next thing to keep my printer going, that I have an entire bin of finished prints, that I haven't done anything with

For print removal...if your build plate is removable, instead of the plastic razor blade just put the build plate in the freezer for a few minutes. Even the most stuck on parts will pop right off.

Holy moly. I had never heard the term "bike shedding" before, and I've been doing this for ages. I got called out in the best way. Thank you :)

On the deburing tool, the guy who got me into this has been printing for a few years and only discovered it after i got a job at a plastics plant. They are a life changer. If you need cheap you can get them at harbor freight. Also, I use one multiple times a day. Because of how the blade spins you usually hit your finger with the back when you slip. Because of the shape you gotta *try* to make blade contact with your finger

I just started printing about a week ago. I spent my first days trying to figure out the bubbly bits and hair-fine cobwebbing, presuming in my delightful noobness that filament fresh from the manufacturer would be dry. It was not. An afternoon in the food dehydrator that very well may be older than I am and those problems have been drastically reduced.

This makes me pretty happy. I had a long list of prints and parts to make for and upgrade my printer. But I have been too busy completing projects to get to more than two prints on that list. I have made so much cool stuff for my apartment that I am always working on and completing a couple projects at a time. It is so satisfying!

Pro tip! If you're going to spit soda at your phone for a meme in a video, you can just use an empty phone case and some black card to cover the camera hole. Nobody would notice in the few frames it's on screen for :) I admit the amount of people who need this tip is minimal, but someone out there just scored gold by reading this. Zack, don't spit on your phone. I hope you spent hours apologising to it. This top was brought to you by a magician. We do this kind of thing all the time and people ain't got a clue.

Your talk on bikeshedding hit me hard, I've been doing it with a lot in life at the moment -- didn't expect to get eviscerated with some much needed life lessons while watching! Bag stabber for life btw.

Unexpected master essay on procrastination and good advice against it. 👍 A lot said is also applicable to software projects, for which there are infinite juicy tooling rabbit holes one can spin wheels in and never ship a product.

Those plastic razor blades are perfect for getting flexible TPU prints off a textured Prusa plate. I can't believe I hadn't tried them before. Enjoy the $0.60. You earned it!

Having trouble getting the print off the bed? It's way easier to have a removable, flexible bed, which you can bend to make the parts pop off. It's also easier to get the parts off when the bed is cool. If you really can't get it off, try putting it in the fridge.
