I Tried 3D Printing Mushrooms with the AnkerMake M5C 

My daughter got access to her engineering school's 3D printer for a year, and this is why our house is filled with tiny pokemon.

Little bit of advice, store the filament in a very dry place because the plastic absorbs moisture and can cause weird defects during printing, you can also use a dehydrator to get the moisture out but I’d look up a tutorial if you do that

You could 3d print mushroom buttons for a matching dress!!!! With a hobbit house door to go on the pocket! So. Many. Possibilities!

One thing you could do to the hat could be painting on the hat material, weathering it to make it look older. Also WHAT 3D PRINTED LACE??? PLEASE VIDEO YES 😂

You know you can print on mash fabrics? 😊... Dragon costumes... I'm so fascinated by 3d printing but I already have to much hobbies.

I love that the hat brim is drooping on one side from the weight of the moss and mushrooms making it more clumsy/whimsical and seem more real like weight down by actual moss that holding in moisture.

About 12 years ago I worked at an engineering university that had a project for first year students that involved 3-D printing. They had to do all of the planning and specs and patterns for it and it was complicated . I think the machinery was not advanced because I remember there being extensions on that project because the machine broke down. They were much slower back then. I have been paying attention as it becomes more of a thing and it’s kind of exciting what all it can do. Just an FYI, I was not an engineering teacher, I was a tutor in another subject. Entirely. I would never have guessed that this was something that I would possibly be capable of doing. Interesting to explore the possibilities and I am glad you did this sponsorship. It’s fun to see an entirely new product.

Floor gremlins unite!! Awesome episode. I definitely do not need more hobbies but you are far too good of an ambassador of random projects.

Awesome! For future hat projects where less floppyness is desirable; a tip I saw was that you can stiffen nearly any fabric with wood glue and have a workable diy hat buckram.

I love how you keep trying out new types of crafts, rug making, 3d printing, what's next book binding? (this is coming from a person who collects hobbies like they're stray cats)

Oooh... welcome to the rabbit-hole that is Thingiverse... I don't know how many hours I'v spent just browsing all the amazing prints! Made my husband a Setlers of Catan 3D boardgame for his 40th - weeks of painting hex tiles - just awesome❤

Love the hat! Great job! Putting wire in the brim = 👍🏼👍🏼 Good thinking. 😁 I appreciate seeing you make something creative using the printer. Making a little boat and stopping would have demonstrated the function but not the usefulness. Nicely done, mushroom witch! 😁 🍄 🧙🏻

Once again, DELIGHTFUL IN EVERY WAY! *applause* A+ on concept and execution, and I love that you just went for it. It's the enchantingest, forest witchyest hat of all time. 💚(Now let Mat use it at least once, the poor man (the printer, not the hat (unless he wants to and it fits)). He's gonna waste away from hopeless longing. *lol*) And I thought it would cost much more! Still $$--it's not like I can just go out today and grab one--but it's really not bad... you'd spend more on a good camera set up or a low-end table saw, even some sets of fancy cookware, sergers start out a bit less but they get pricey fast, etc. Not crazy in light of lots of DIY supplies at all. Does the filament come with it normally, or did they throw that in? ...also YAY PUPPY CAMEO!

I looked up the pricing on those and even in Canadian dollars, it's not completely outrageous. I'm impressed. We paid more for an inkjet printer 20 years ago. Hope you continue to have fun with it!

Welcome to the 3d printing world. Need a bobbin, yarn needle, that perfect button, print one.

I've been interested in 3D printing but felt it's still too expensive and probably takes a lot of materials and machines so I've never tried it. You just got me excited for it again :D

4:01 my roommate keeps his 3d printer on the floor as its permanent spot because he feels that it shakes less than on a table, it drives me nuts because im so worried about kicking it, but as a sewist i do understand the floor craft impulse so i am sympathic to his choices

this is so stinkin cute! I seriously want the little red and white groups of mushrooms as earrings! maybe a pendant too. love the final look. I now have to save for the next few years to be able to buy the machine (yes, I've already checked the price and it will still take a few years for me), then I can have my wish.

I just wanted to say that as an avid crocheter I am always amazed at what you create with fabric. I have enough sewing experience to know it requires a lot of patience and skill to create what you do. Thank you for your lovely videos and always bringing sunshine to my day.

I love any kind of art that can be done and that's what I call fashionnating

I have recently found your channel and been I think it's called binge-watching, watching one after another after another. My goodness you have so much creativity going on inside of your head!! I have totally none of that, I have to see somebody else do it and then I'll copy but cannot come up with anything on my own to save my life. Oh how I would love to be your age again and do all you do, it looks like so much fun!! Thank you for your videos and your quirky sense of humor, I am definitely looking out for more!! Oh, and I'm curious, what kind of work is Matt in that it takes them out of the country??

This video did its job. My partner and I have been pterodactyl screeching (in spirit), especially since we looked up the cost. This is definitely on my list thank you 😅

Love the hat! First 3D printer introduction I've ever watched whole! I love 🍄 s. Thx 4 sharing Ur gifts with us (me). Ciao

Yes. Yes, it is adorable! Absolutely, totally, adorable...&the printer is cool too . 😄

This was amazing! I got my husband a resin 3-D printer over a year ago, and all we've made is the test. My husband keeps telling me that he just needs a weekend to really delve into it to learn all the intricacies. Sigh! We got a resin one because he wants to make D&D figures, so no PLA lines. One of these days he'll get over the "gah" part so I can play with it. It was a gift for him, so he gets first crack. ❤

OK, So kool! So much fun watching you make that. Can't imagine I would ever have a need for 3-D printing, but so much fun watching you do it. Big Hugs

Omg the hat is gorgeous. I wonder how printing accessibility devices would work (for example, could you print a grip for a crochet hook chunkyboycrochet-style to make it ergonomic without adding the weight?)

So cool!! The shelf mushrooms look like architecture, with their stems as columns. The tiny red ones seem to have a shape similar to the hat itself. Fantastic!

Every time I think you are going some where off in left field, you end up doing something so cute and imaginative, So, my bad. That hat is almost as amazing as that moss rug you made while waiting for the house. I might have to stop watching your videos, since I am now starting to think about making my own clothes!!! I've been quilting since the pandemic, so clothes is the logical next step. Right? As far as the serger goes, keep talking about it and perhaps one will be gifted. It will be interesting to see how quickly you master it. Probably very quickly. Keep having fun! And of course, entertaining us. Thank you, Charlie.

Thank you for properly using the word "proximity". The phrase "close proximity" is a pet peeve of mine.

Idk if anyone mentioned the RU-vid channel Sew Printed, she prints so many things and it includes dresses and jackets. Stretchy 3d filament is also super awesome! :)

How is it possible that everything you try turns up absolutely perfect? Love it !!!!

That looks super interesting and I could see where it might be useful, mostly for making replacement parts for old things. I love vintage sewing machines and I’ve seen people make gears, spool pins, and knobs for those.

What a great new tool for your creative arsenal! The hat was a perfect first project, I think.

I was thinking about the serger thing during this video like "Wait she has a 3d printer before a serger?" but hey life is funny that way. 😊

Welp, Christmas shopping for my husband is done! He's wanted one for years but didn't want to spend $1k, then spend weeks and more $$$ trying to get the thing to just print a test piece. Thanks for this!😊

I friggen love it! I'm going to Jessica Day cry about it. 😂

3D printers have always intrigued me but they’re way too much for me to wrap my head around. I have so so many questions about what exactly they can even do (& HOW they do 🤯) so this is good. 👌🏻

Lol I sat down to watch this and crochet! Stuff I’ve seen you do is totally intimidating to me

I was muchly amused when you tried on the cone for the witch hat 😂 should have heard my laugh, it was ... ever seen Only Fools and Horses? Boycey ain't got nothing on me...

My husbond and teenage boys are green with envoy right now 😁

Now to add a fairy or two for the hat lol i would genuinely love that 😍🥰🧚🍄🍄

My best friend and I craft and sew and he's chaos incarnate lol so where I am methodical and need measurements and patterns and guidelines lol , he does what I call chaos sewing and it always works for him (it never works for me lol) so I just love you "winging it" cause it reminds me of him lol 🤣

You’re so friggen talented! I truly enjoy watching you create magic 💙🧡

Was literally just thinking I need my fix of the stitchery! Watching while doing tea and making a cloak for my young un!

So cool. Enjoy. Can't wait to see what you print next.

I love this!

So exciting! One day I hope to try 3D printing out, so perfect video~.

"i am interested in… everything. every for of creating." ooooh you ARE of My People :D (can i subscribe a second time? no? … darn.)

OMG! You did an amazing job!! Love this machine!!!❤🎉

You should not be afraid to crochet! Yes it can be complicated in the beginning but once you get past learning how to make a simple square everything else pretty much just falls in place. I truly hope you learn to crochet!

I think 3d printing is very cool. And I was surprised at the low prices. Your model and others are in the affordable range for a lot of people. I don’t know when or if I’ll ever get one and I don’t want to put more disposable plastic out there…I hope chemical engineers can create biodegradable plastic that can break down faster than 100 years and/or plastic that can be safely incinerated if it’s trashed. Thanks! .

you should totally look into 3d printed fabric - it looks cool as hell.

This is so freaking cute!!!!

You are a genius!! Seriously

The hat is super cute! Do some tea staining on it and it will look properly bog witchy I think :D As someone who has full on rabbit-holed in 3d printing, feel free to hit me up for help on learning it! I will admit that I learned most if not all of what I know from youtube videos but hell its how I learn new things.

Liking 6 seconds in. Obvi!😂

Wow, that's fantastic. Well done overcoming your fear.

I love it! Can’t wait to see the 3D lace 🤩

Welcome to hat making ❤❤❤ huge learning curve and you did amazing. Can you make a matching outfit for your witch?😊

i love this and i need one! also...LOOOOOOOOOVE the hat!

Love it. So cute.

I'll try to sold you serger once more: With serger you will be able to make knit clothes waaaay faster and easier and the inside will look good without extra effort ;)

That looks so amazing! You make me think I could actually do that! I'm still thinking that Google hates me! My tech understanding has fallen way behind the times! Of course my husband, son or grandson would defiantly take over. They love and understand technology which is why I just let them do it!

3d printed buttons. Costume shapes and sizes

Love it

3D buttons!

have you seen people printing scales on tule? You sandwich the tule in the begining layers of the print... and then its moveable fabric prints!

You should 3D print yourself a serger.. I'm technologically challenged and have no idea if it would even work but I heard of people printing functioning guns so why not?🤷‍♀ That hat is stinking cute, btw! I kind of want one.. Not that I know where to wear it but still..

talented

That looks like fun but do i need it? Possibly? ❤😂

Awesome video! 3D printing is definitely something I want to try and I need this for Black Friday!

Do possibly ask for help if/when the filament jams, or the printer needs some assistance with a bit of unexpected maintenance. Ended up returning my m5c and getting another m5 because it wouldn't NOT jam when trying to complete a print.

3D printing is awesome and so addictive 😍did you also know you can 3D Print right onto fabric? It's so useful 💖

Darn it… now I need to buy a 3D printer 😂

I am so excited to be so early!

Oh id be making cookie cutters and a variety of other things

I know you were making a witch costume, but you made me think of that wizard from Lord of the rings. I can't think of his name, but he's something the brown

Me want to make a 3D printed base to a dreamcatcher me scatched on. in wood 3d

Now the matching dress 👗 with pockets please🍄👗🥺. Then I should be happy 😊.

Okay so I’m now looking at my boyfriend’s 3d printer that’s on our kitchen table cause where else would you keep it? I’m always asking him to print me stuff and then I wait …… and wait …. and wait. So, I have decided, I am not going to wait any longer I’m just going to print something on my own, not even going to ask (I’ll probably ask permission) okay I’ll tell him, but I’ll do it on my own. (I might ask for a little help lol) leveling the bed of the printer is what really scares me he’s always using a piece of paper. Why is using the piece of paper, why is he doing that? He won’t tell me he just says I’m leveling the bed, but it’s got a self leveler like the one that you were using. What is he doing? Anyway, I like your videos and I am really enjoying your channel. I am like you I just like to learn to make things for instance, I don’t embroider at all, but I saw this thing on TikTok, where they embroidered the side of a couch that the cat scratched and made it look all pretty and then I looked at my daughters coach that her cat scratched and watched one of your embroidery videos and I’m kind of thinking I might be able to do that , probably won’t do it soon but thanks for making me think that I could do it if I wanted to!

Yeah, i don't have $400 to burn, but thank you for your time. Lol
