I like the filament storage if you have the wall space for it. But I'm curious how you handle keeping the filament dry with all those spools just sitting out in the open, unbagged. Do you just dry filament every time you use it?
I absolutely love your videos. I recently purchased my very first 3-D printer a P1 S I’ll be using it for my Pinball Repair shop, but also for fun stuff around the house I have been just glued to your channel absorbing as much knowledge as I can. Thank you very much.
Love this! Do another challenge but make a workshop NOT for 3D printing. Something like a kitchen, or a RV/Trailer, a shed. I always feel like 3D-Printing to make more prints is mostly easy to justify but not other spheres of life and I also need to justify it to my wife 😂.
As a stay at home mom I’m finding the storage solution ideas to be so useful! Not heading to ikea sounds like a win! Can’t wait to give the bins and boxes a print
Excellent creativity. I am a Carpenter/Tinkerer and got into 3D printing about 2 years ago. Started designing my own parts and objects about a year ago to solve problems that weren't practical (or feasible) to buy or build out of wood/metal. There are so many things that are just easier and better to design and print than it would have been for me to make out of other materials. I am loving the 3D printed medium and the world it has opened up to me. I have designed about a dozen objects so far and continue to learn everyday. Love your show and it has been an inspiration.
I actually make and install acoustic panels for work. We did unbox therapy’s place. Anyway the easiest way to make some is get urself some 8x4 sheets of insulation. Then get a roll of fabric that you like and make sure it’s about 4-5 inches wider then ur 1 inch insulation sheet. Get a can or spray glue and spray the edges and a few inches on the back. Place the insulation sheet face up and roll out ur fabric on top. Start from one side and fold it over the edges. Once u get 2 sides done slightly stretch the fabric over the edges. If you wanna get fancy you can cut the insulation into hex shape with a 3d printed stencil and wrap them after
I actually really like this idea... my wife will be working from home soon and I want to set her office up so life is easier with parts she needs to reference on the fly. Possibly display them as full units on a honeycomb wall for her to easily reference for the techs she needs to assist
This is exactly the type of video I love to watch. I am not going to buy a new printer every year, so I am only medium interested in all the unboxing videos. But I very much enjoy the inspiration from seeing what others do with their printers, the projects they pursue, the problems they fix. Keep on sharing those ideas, it is one of the main reasons why I follow you!
I would totally love to see a window mounted extractor fan setup, but with the added functionality of being modular, so as to be able to add in extra suction points, such as, solder station, general UVC germicidal, Hepa filter add-in with ozone generation etc...possibilities are endless Love your work and your ideas/visions, i just wish i could afford a not shit 3d printer :(
I love the idea of making everything yourself it's the coolest thing ever to be able to make so many things yourself. I think it's amazing what your doing with 3d printing and lasers and salvaging things thank you for the content and sharing your ideas👍🤜🤛
As a carpenter/woodworker moving into the 3D printing wold, You are dead on about duct tape for dust extraction connectors. But truthfully, you can order 3rd party adapters. These small parts are one of the main reasons I got a 3D printer. As well as for woodworking templates/jigs.
@@thenextlayer I try to comment on all videos I like even if I don't really have anything to ask or anything to say. I've heard it helps the algorithm more than just hitting the like button.
I'd love to see you building a window mounted ventilation system for 3d printers. Although there are a few videos about building such systems, they really do not give details about their design choices.
Hey Jonathan, talking about your ceiling/wall acoustic panels, the sound deadening effect comes more from the shape of the walls than the material itself. That being said, the way you install your panels shown in the video, with the isolation material hidden inside a flat surface will make less effect than if you had it backwards, with the exposed material attached to a flat background panel. That's why a lot of places just end up using egg boxes or piramid shaped foams, not only because the surface of those materials are porous/rugged, but also because of the pointy shaped design, that breaks/absorbs the sound waves, breaking any possible echo. The honeycomb walls, as well as a gridfinity wall, could do some effect because of the uneven pattern of the surface, that would also break the flat wall surface where any sound wave could travel freely. Thanks a lot for the amazing videos as usual.
The “let’s get after it” transition felt more natural this time. 👏👏👏. It’s growing on me. Being the Next Layer, maybe, “let’s see what’s next” and then if it makes sense in the context you could add “…on the next layer.”
Lots of very cool ideas in here; the vase mode bins make sense, but don't count out other materials or smaller nozzle sizes. Set your line width to larger than the nozzle size some time if you've never tried it. A 0.4 nozzle can easily do 0.6 or even 0.8 width lines for much sturdier vase prints without having to swap out the nozzle at all. Alternately, if you've got a 1.0 nozzle with a high performance hot end, well, go crazy.
Minor nit-picking - there are entry-level consumer lathes available that are far more affordable than any laser cutter I've looked at, at least in the woodworking space. I use one to make hardwood pens as well as a few other things... Could make some pretty awesome handles that way. 🙂
I've been looking at things very differently since I first started 3d printing back in Dec 2022. I've always been the type of person to look to make something instead of just buying it but often that wasn't really possible. Now however i keep seeing all manner of things I can print instead of ordering online plus I get the added benefit of getting to exercise my creativity which makes the final outcome so much more satisfying. I'm actually shocked at just how much more I can use my 3d printers for than i would have ever thought.
I really enjoyed this video. You’ve given me many new ideas for things I need in my small space. I’m finally working on a storage/organizing solution for all of my tools and gadgets. Me? Organized? Say it ain’t so!! Any way. Keep up the great work. Now, back to work designing things to print with the growing collection of filament.
It's a shame the other build video didn't do so well, i enjoyed it. I do think i like this one better though. The builds of stuff that we probably all need (at least to some degree) is a nice touch. I'd love to see more videos like this. And I'd love to see it happen where you leverage more maker techniques. I'm out here trying to justify building an MPCNC or a laser cutter, give me more reasons haha. Thanks for the video!
While I love the design of your current acoustic panel on the wall, I highly doubt it will do much of anything since it's primarily wood on the face. If anything it may increase the echo/reverb further since the wood with paint over it is solid, dense, and smooth which will allow sound to bounce right off it. I don't know how well fabric would hold it's shape when laser cut and attached with that design, but using a material like fabric as a face directly over rockwool or fiberglass batt is far superior in terms of performance as an acoustic panel. Also, super small nit pick here, but if you have any fans blowing at or over the exposed insulation, you may end up with some allergy-like reactions from the particles it puts off into the air. P. S. I enjoyed a lot of your suggestions elsewhere in the video, well done video overall!
I appreciate the effort, as much as it is exiting to create everything with 3d printing, significant better results can be achieved if all machining technologies are used together (together with all materials) according to to its best use-case scenario. Par example metal inserts for screws have significantly better performance then 3d printed screws. Then instead of printing flexible filaments, making cast form from pla and then casting flexible gives much better result. Of course it’s not possible to cast every form. I find seeking combination of materials and machining technologies give significantly better result than just pure 3d printing. It worth saying that there is sometimes significant investment in tools other than 3d printer. This also has to taken into account.
I hear you on the adapter for the saw and vacuum. I had to design an adapter for a small air pump I use for blowing up all the pool toys. Some of the floats have wierd nozzle sizes so I printed a new adapter that fits perfectly. One of my favorite things about 3D printing. Same went for a mobile scooter we bought for the MIL. Had no hold down for the battery, so I printed one and a knob for the bolt. Lifesaver. Thanks for your vids. I plan on creating a set of bins to organize my desk drawers based on some of your ideas.
I always find videos like this interesting; not sure about the open air laser thing though.... I believe it was Makers Muse that was fairly unhappy about that whole thing..
Great stuff as always. I just wanted to point out that the carbon filled Nylon your using is no where near as strong as machined aluminum because it’s a discontinuous fiber. It might not even be as strong as regular nylon (though it will be stiffer). You need continuous fiber reinforcement to be as strong as aluminum.
Answering your comment on connection between the table saw and vacuum - yes, the tape is the solution ) waiting for my 3d printer ti arrive. Cheers, m8
I really enjoyed this video. And I would love to see more. But maybe next time not as one long video but as a series of videos to some certain topic. Like: Organize your drawers journey Part 1: integrate old organization into new ones" I am not sure what is more interesting for people to see. If you want to seee every solution that you have then one vug video is probably perfectly fine. But if someone is only interested in some specific topic then splitting up one topic in more videos will work out best for those viewers. Also you can probably generate more clicks on that which is good for you. And people looking for some specific idea will find you more easily through searching
I haven't finished the video yet, but for your filament storage, how do you deal with moisture? All those rolls open to air, do you have a bunch of dryer boxes, or do you dry the whole room? I have 4 rolls in dryer boxes at all times, and the rest in vacuum sealed bags with desiccant. I don't have near what you do, but I aspire to get there one day. Think I need to stop getting filament and get a good quality Bambu Carbon Love your work, thank you!!!
Not sure why you consider a lathe or mill outside of the rules of a maker challenge. You can get into a reasonably sized benchtop lathe for about what you would spend building a Voron 2.4 or Trident.
Can you do a video showing different 3D prints that you use in your daily life outside of the print-farm? I think it would be more entertaining for the average 3D print user who looks for more home applications like myself. Just a suggestion
THANK YOU! I appreciate this type of feedback a lot. I said to myself.. "how can I make content out of all the shit I need to do around the studio, but NOT bore people with another 'workshop update' video... Seems to have worked
Good! But I don’t exactly understand the black HSW boards on a black wall. I would have printed them in the Bambu Lab Orange Matte PLA. I am going to install another SKADIS in my maker nook soon.
It can be a subjective thing - personally, I don't like making my work space stand out too much; I would have not used any orange at all, unless it was something I really wanted to highlight. Although I'd probably do something a bit off-black to not make it completely invisible.
You made comments on the petg filament, and I see you used the bamboo x1 carbon to print the wall mount. I am having trouble with getting clean prints. Can you give me some pointers?
The last workshop blog was just a bad topic for your channel. We want to see it get setup, not a half hour talking about what you want. As they say "I dont need to see the labor, just show me the baby!" Also: for about 130$ usd you can get a tool cart thats stool size, so you can have a seat at a printer with the tools rights under you. Amazon :"Tool cart seat" or something. Also, i would paint the honeycomb background wall green, then you could greenscreen exotic landscapes onto it, and it would be like we're looking through a time machine window (the honeycomb) over mars or waterfalls or w/e you decide.
How did you come to the conclusion that the Ikea pegboards use more plastic than the hex wall? The hex wall is entirely out of plastic and the Ikea pegboards are made out of fiber board (wood). Plus, the Ikea system allows you to use very minimalist mounting solutions that use less plastic than a single hex wall hexagon.
Would putting Eva foam on the tabletop/shelves and printers on them help reduce noise and vibrations? I was thinking of putting one on my drawer table where my future printer would go on and maybe line the edges with it to just in case it may hit the walls.
@thenextlayer I have my Ikea drawers which were an extension to my computer desk. Had to cut it since it was a bit long. It will fit a P1S and barely fit a K1 Max ( still deciding which to get). Would the anti vibration feets be enough or a should I go with Eva foam. Tiles may be too heavy for the table. 😅 I may print brackets to secure the table drawer to the wall or at least line the top part with Eva foam just in case it starts hitting the wall.
Hey, can you provide more details on the light stand caster adaptor? I am interested in printing a set for my studio. What hardware did you use and what caster are you using. Did you heat set in a threaded insert, or did your hardware cut their own threads? Also in your design it looks like there should be a second piece for where the thumb screw goes into that tightens into the leg of the stand, am i missing something?
I just ordered my first 3D printer, a Creality V3 SE, should be here in a couple of days! I stumbled upon your channel and I love it! I have a question about that hex storage grid you have on your wall. Once you snap the piece into the grid, are they removable? Thank you!!!
I recently got a sovol sv07 and was wondering if you could point me at a help forum for getting it working with orca slicer? I keep playing whackamole with gcode config and find the documentation to be nonexistant
