When you are adding the pause in the slicer, I believe you actually want to choose the layer where you see the hole being covered, as the pause happens at the beginning of that layer.
You are correct, as I found out using this in Orca slicer... it's obviously the same as Bambu Studio and the vertical slider shows the end of the layer not the beginning as you say, but if you move the horizontal slider to the left you will see the start of the fill over layer, so confirms your understanding. .
For the angled clamp attachment, if you print it as two parts that click together with a ball joint, then it can rotated to any angle, and you won't need additional fixtures like nuts and bolts to act as a hinge.
Really well done video explaining 3D printing for woodworkers. Might be the first I've ever seen someone *explain it well* rather than just doing it and moving on with the "woodworking" part. The stuff that's out there, at the cheap $1-2 cost in filament only, is mind boggling. I've got a router sled for my trim router that rides along my track saw's guide rails. Would easily run me $25-200 online for a Festool or similar guide, and 3D printing just made that entirely feasible. In about an hour of printing time. I'm researching 3D printers now instead of always asking a friend with one to print for me. Whole new world of creativity, that'll help my real passion - woodworking. Thanks for the great intro to 3D printing for woodworkers!
Another trick for the magnets is to put a Sharpie (or whatever permanent marker you have) dot on one face, then pop it off and do the next, so you mark the same side of every magnet. In the end, you'll have marked all of one pole, and you can just alternate which magnets show the dot, without having to drop them on and separate them over and over on the print.
I like how you said it's going to be about 48 minutes of printing and you'll wait it out but you already had to print a piece on the wall with your headphones on it :)
That insert system for the corner rounding jigs is smart, gonna have to borrow that one! For the fiddly magnets in the dust collector connector thingy, just use the whole stack of magnets to push each one in, then slide / shear the stack off, makes them much easier to handle! Do 4 'corners' first, then flip the stack of magnets over and do the remaining 4 'corners' in the gaps :)
for the clamp swivel, the hinge seems like a weak point that is taking all the pressure from the clamping force. you might consider having a crescent shape nested in a crescent shape. this should handle much more clamping pressure, and still swivel to the required position. it might even be more stable, as you shift the pivot point from the outside to inside the pivot radius. it would function similar to the individual pieces of the fractal vice.
Thank you for sharing. I just got my 3D printer, not even out of the box yet. You have given me some inspiration to make some thing for the shop that I had not thought of Thanks Again Sir!
@@TheSwedishMaker Drew at Wittworks turned me onto your channel awhile back. It is also his fault that I got a 3D printer. I always like your videos but will be paying more attention now.
I've had my 3D printer for a few years and also enjoy the design process as you seem to do. We subsequently bought an old house so I'm exploring the applications I can use 3D printed parts for. I think the most useful thing I've produced so far is a bunch of pipe supports for hot and cold water supply to the bathroom and bigger ones to secure the 100mm soil pipes for a new WC. This has saved us a lot of euros. The most complicated thing I've come up with so far is a jig or tool that measures the position of the metal bars that are fixed across the window apertures on the outside of the house on which we want to hang flower boxes. I designed the box in Fusion having measured one window only to find that the bar is positioned slightly differently at each window. So the jig measures the position of the bar relative to the window cill, the slope of the cill and how far the edge of the cill projects away from the house (all these dimensions vary from window to window) and I redesigned the flower box parametrically so that I can feed the dimensions in to the design for a perfect fit each time. Designing in Fusion is one of my favourite hobbies! Thanks for making this video. It really resonated with me!
Great use of the 3D printer in the workshop. I love the angled clamp head you designed “I wonder where you got that idea from”!!! And the message board with the secret message pure genius
Have never used a 3D printer, but I can see how useful and functional they are. What a game changer. I expect the software side of this is pretty intuitive once you get familiar with it.
I’m so with you on this! I’m pretty new to 3D printing, and for me the joy is in using Fusion 360 to design something I need, then seeing it come to life! Like you I designed a headphone holder, in my case so I could hang them on the side of my Yamaha keyboard 😃😃
Excellent stuff! Small suggestion: In the Print Instructions RTF file that you supply with the STL file for the magnetic hose adapter it says "Pause after 19th layer": That depends on your choice of layer height. it is fie if you are printing at 0.2mm layer height.
Nice idea and well made and executed! The only downside I can see is if your using the hose for multiple machines at different locations in the shop you run the risk of pulling the coupler apart, a twist lock solution would be much more secure.
Hello, nice video. With your vacuum cleaner adapter you said that if it breaks, just print it again. We all know the problem with printed pipes or rods that break because the layers are the weak point. Since I need 90% of my printed parts as functional parts, mainly in technical model making, I started gluing in steel or brass rods with a diameter of 1mm or less a long time ago. To do this, in the case of an adapter like this, I create a hole across the layers and rotate it as a pattern so that there are 3 or 4 holes. I then glue the steel wires in there and have a composite material, similar to reinforced concrete. But be careful, if your wire is 1mm, the hole must be about 1.2mm, depending on the printer, as these holes generally print smaller. It's been working for me for years and in Germany you can get 1m long steel or brass wires from 0.5mm to 5mm, and there are also brass and aluminum tubes from 3mm so you can make almost anything.
This is an excellent idea as I was pondering how to make the layer adhesion better and came across your comment a minute later. This could be a video just on this one idea. Thanks for sharing your idea. I'll be using it on many of my 3D projects. Cheers!
I'm sold! I bought the bambu lab mini because I've tried to use Fushion 360 before for designing builds and it was HARD!!! So I took the leap with the mini and was mind blown. I guess that's how my parents felt with computers became mainstream. Somehow this is easier than that learning curve if you stick to other people's prints. As a maker this is saving me hundreds of $$. Thanks!
The bobble-head in the window is the guy who died because he thought instead of normal cancer treatment that the doctors recommended that he'd treat it himself. And then he paid his way to the front of an organ transplant line when that didn't work, and then he still died.
I 3d print alot. mostly stuff for helping my life and for storage. I mostly do PLA but also other. PLA you can get from 8-9USD/kilo actually with good quality today!. And the Bambu printers rock. I mainly run the x1 series
Great video! I’m a huge fan of 3D printed jigs. They helped me justify buying an X1C over a year ago 😂. Thanks to those jigs, I saved so much time and money when I built my own MFT work bench. Now I gotta print that 90 degree festool sander jig!
I just bought my first 3D printer for $168: an Ender 3. After various upgrades, I'm closing in on $225. As soon as I monetize my 3D printing adventure, I will upgrade to a much better printer. But I cannot afford to upgrade before that.
I know the feeling, takes less time to design somethings then to find them on printables or where ever. 3d printing is not that difficult, I know running a cnc machine is a lot more difficult since you are removing material. but I love both. Love the clamp addon, technically you could use those for regular clamping since they swivel, they should just conform to a square object. I've been wanting to print a new "foot" for one of my clamps since it's missing one, perhaps I'll try one of those. Thanks for the video
Great video I’ve been really thinking about getting a 3D printer and with Bamboo labs having their printers on sale right now makes it very tempting I’m just a little scared because I have absolutely no experience in 3D printing at all. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge
An issue with magnets is the non linear loss on hold power with distance. I use them for most of my coffee accessories and have been hamstrung a few times by magnets not strong enough. I ended up finding a place to buy thin magnets cheaper than equivalent thick ones so I stack them in all of my builds now.
😊 Well information You could print a thinggy that separats the magnet fom the stack. Just a rod with a 8mm cutout and a depth of 3mm then you can share them of the pack. Like a coin separater does in a vendingmachine. Nice stuff you designed.
Yep all of this is exactly why I have a 3D printer, hahaha. One of the first fully custom prints I did was a headphones hanger. Also customized a car phone holder and upcoming I have vise jaws, tool storage, and various other similar projects.
You’ve inspired me to try 3D printing. I borrowed a 3D printer from my brother-in-law to experiment. It’s a cheap printer and the print platform is quite dirty. Will try propyl alcohol to clean it up.
Try making the clamp a ball and socket joint so you have more range of motion, you then wouldn't need more than one type and can get some more strange angles.
One fairly cheap item that isn't really necessary, but can help in a pinch is a magnetic polarity detector. Sure, you can just put a magnet on the piece, but if you need to _record_ the polarity for whatever reason, having one is great. This allows you to set a standard for a piece, determine the correct orientation, and place the magnet without having to dig out an exemplar or have a jig.
You should pause the print ON the layer it covers the hole, especially if the height of the hole has a tight tolerance to the magnet. Whenever you add a special action to a layer like "Pause" or "Change Filament", it performs that action right before it begins printing that layer.
This is just awesome! I am intrigued to get a printer after this 😅😊 very impressive solutions and innovations you have come up with so far! Looking forward to the next ones!
For the magnets, go through the stack and put a dot of sharpie/permanent marker on the north side. Then you’ll have a visual indicator when you’re putting them in the print (dot vs no dot). As the magnets are fully covered by the print, the dots won’t be visible in the final product
By the way... is just notices that when you put in the magnets you put the first one in, snap a second one on top of the first one and turn it around an put it in the next hole. This will NOT result in an alternating pattern as you mentioned. Because the second magnet when it snaps to the first one is already in the oposite way, since oposite sides atrack each other. So when you flip it again after they snapped you effectivly have all magnets in the same orientation.
The hardest part of 3D printing is learning how to model, the second hardest is learning the printing settings (unless you get a bambu labs printer), the third is learning how to orientate the layer lines for strength, the fourth is learning how to model parts for 3d printing.
And learning how to model is not even hard either. On yt anybody can find countless tutorials for every cad sw from beginner to advanced lvl. Fusion, onshape, free cad, whatever. A week or two and you can do a lot... Same for the slicer, but bambu made it super easy... IMHO learning at least the basic modelling skill is a must, it will elevate 3d printing to another lvl, when you can fix stuff, create whatever you need around you..
11:35 a feeling all too familiar to all of us. For me it is directly correlated with how certain I am about my measurements and paper design before I make the digital part. The more I'm sure I've got the perfect idea, the higher the chance it ends up being a full fail all around.
Are you planning to try out printers that make even stronger materials? Found your channel today, and I haven't even tried 3D-printing before, so I am a total newb. Now and then I watch some channels. I don't even remember what I watched, other than someone claiming that filaments isn't the way to go (whatever technique that was based on). Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Looks fascinating some of the stuff you do, even in this episode 😊
Brilliant mi pana see the video in mi tv and since can't post comment I think you deserved my hassle to getting the cellphone looking for the video and left your highly earned comment Youtub need to add a way to comment to tv users
Thanks for showing how things can be accomplished. Bought the 100mm Hose Adapter file. In Bambu Studio I change the orientation X @ 270Deg. Not sure it was mentionned in the instruction (I nerver look at instructiuon xD) pause @ layer 19
Cool video and prints. Thanks for sharing. You could make a magnet "magazine". What I have in mind is a barrel that you can put a stack of magnets into. It would have a spring in it like a handgun magazine that would push the magnets up. Then at the top you could have somesort of rotating cap that would push off just one magnet. Just a thought. It would save your fingers. Let me know what you think.
I see you use the sys-org bins in your drawers. I've done the same. Looking forward to seeing your full design there. I've built a few custom bits for them myself.
Hey! Yes - the ones I use are 3d printed - I made them for this project: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NlFFHs_68n4.html I love the way they work.
3D printing... how cool is it to print something in an hour and have it in your hand... along with the 5 previous versions you printed until you got it just right LOL
I could not find mounts anywhere to attach small solar lights to my round dock pilings on my boat dock. They literally do not sell them. I simply 3D printed my own and three years later...they are still holding up flawlessly in the Florida heat.
something to note about using these magnetic dustports: If you have a mixed shop where you also do metal work, I highly recommend not getting magnetic ones... the metal shavings get stuck on them and it's a pain to keep the dustport clean.
Fractal vice is a good idea but fail in their application. Too many parts to fiddle around with and all the jaws don't always touch your odd shaped work piece, so it almost never clamps securely.
Hi, why not design and print a magnet dispenser, say a screw feed on the bottom and a scissor action at the top to separate them? Similar to the round over guide you could have it in two main parts. The magnets could be in cartridges with a standard O.D. and bespoke I.D.s
PETG easy to print you say... You must have better luck than me. It absorbs moisture like paper towel and is about as reliable in extruding. For reference, I use a P1P and can report it's excellent.
Bosch and Festo Adaptor... I mean... did you just in general start speaking my language? This is just so awesome. In the Name of God and Saint George I dub thee Sir Swedish Maker. Go forth and maketh us happy always and also every illness and injury may be just a Scratch to You SIr Swedish Maker, from This Day On! Arise Sir.
...Why don't you make a magnet separator? It's just a tube with an end that can swivel. Basically something similar as your sanding paper holder, just smaller. Size the inner diameter bigger than the magnet and add a small lip for the swiveling part, that would help separate the last part. Also add lip on the outer side, so the rest of the magnet don't fall off. Then just twist the last part and one magnet falls into your hand. Or if you want something more complicated, you can just copy a Pez dispenser.
I hate you. My birthday is coming up and I have finally decided to get thickness planer, which was a long process. I was kind of interested in 3D-printers so far, but now I am hyped and the planer is long forgotten. I need this thing now!
11:17 when measuring something like that it is generally better to measure the solid plastic piece that your printed part with attach to rather than the flexible covering piece.
If you want the extra work and thinking to achieve an adequate play all around. With possible need of v.2, v3 etc until satisfactory results. Instead of wasting your resources (time, production costs) measure the loose covers as he did if their play are satisfactory. Kind regards Anders Seasoned mechanical engineer
