There is no way I can justify that much plastic for a box. no matter how modular it is. I do store miniatures and this doesn't really seem that convenient, it adds waaaaay too much footprint and weight. Someone recently released some Gridfinity boxes for minis, I'm just gonna print those.
It is butt ugly, I have the Omni but this... no way lol. I mean good channel this but carrying that around and the minis and the time to set it up. I dunno must be me but don't see the smart in that like the Omni 1
I quite literally came up with the idea for a 3D printed PC case YESTERDAY. I had watched a video about the new Be Quiet! case and wondered if anyone had done a completely 3D printed PC case that was modular like with snap together pieces. I thought this thumbnail said PC Case at first, so super close to what I was thinking. I'll likely never get around to the idea, but why don't you remix this and make a Micro ATX case or something? ;)
That was really neat! Ultimately, though, I agree with your conclusion. Not the part about this being better for the purpose than an off-the-shelf miniatures case; the off-the-shelf solutions tend to be very good at what they do, and if you're content to roll the dice on Amazon clones, you could get the same thing for about 2/3rds the cost of 7kg of filament in Canada. But the part about "you do this because it's fun to build it. Even so, this rather feels like a "if all you have is a hammer" solution. Even from a DIY and completely custom perspective, I feel like it would be better to buy an existing case and just 3d print the internals. I can get a decent attache case for 100$ or a similar sized toolbox for about 60$. With filament costing around 25$/kg in Canada (more if you're going for brand name product like Prusament) 100$ for a case that has no join lines and no weak points and masses a hell of a lot less than 4kg seems like a really good deal. It *is* really cool, though, and I'm happy this exists for the people who want to explore it. Oh, and the most filament I've spent on a single project is over 20 kg on an R2-D2 replica. Well, so far - it's the sort of project that's never "done" so I'm sure I'll print more stuff at some point.
I've backed this myself.....an excuse to tell my wife I NEED more printers! I love the multi colour look from end of spools. On the point of intravenous drug use...my wife reckons a drug habit would cost me less than what I spend on 3D printing, laser cutters and miniatures.......
Your studio is nice but I think I preferred the old version where we were seeing your tools. It was allowing me to have a peek on your overall organization. You know a real techy in a messy environment. :) Interesting comments also about having multiple printers. I just have one and I'm not feeling part of the gang anymore (snif, snif). heheheheh
I backed the original Omni (still haven't had the time or money to actually print one, but it's coming one day) and got notified about the portable version just yesterday by email...my first reaction was, "but I already have some less fancy storage for my D&D miniatures, I don't think I need this." My second reaction after starting to watch your video was, "it doesn't have to be for just miniatures, it is an endlessly customizable and expandable storage system for nearly anything." And my last reaction was, "that seems ludicrously heavy and expensive, if I'm going to that extreme of a level for portable storage I maybe should just get a Pelican case and some of that cubed foam with smaller 3D-printed accessories." This kind of video is definitely great - I wasn't 100% sure of my decision to avoid backing the project, especially at the early bird price that was still available as of this morning, but now I am more confident in my decision. I'm sure others are equally as confident about going ahead with backing the project, and that's great as well. The check-it-before-you-back-it style of video I think has a lot of value to the 3D printing community, would love to see more videos like it in the future.
I have a BIG question for you…ever since I saw your video where you say if you print stuff for the house, your significant other will get you or allow you to get more printer. I have been in love with the Honeycomb Wall. I haven printed one yet because I just got my first printer which I chose the Elegoo Neptune 3 Max. Well while watching that video, I noticed some Honeycomb shelf brackets that were awesome in your background. They are the Black and Orange Honeycomb shelves. I found an STL version of them, but it is oriented very small, can you tell me what size to print them in.
Your video convinced me to back this so kudos to you and Crate3D! I'm looking forward to getting my Vyper working again and either getting a MK4 or X1C in the coming month or so. I've seen Pred's Gridfinity Storage Box and I was wondering if that would be something you'd be interested in covering?
I built a large omni display case, this looks to be the same issue. Concept is cool but takes way to much work and time to build something that costs as much if not more than what is already available to buy, and once you have it finished it will not look as good.
Honestly, this is ludicrous. Just cut the 6 pieces of plywood, and use the 3D printed elements as joinery and internal elements (+wood glue for additional strength! There! Plastic and print time cut to - what? - 20% od the original? And fraction of cost (thin plywood could even be scored with utility knife, broken, and just sanded flush with sandpaper, no special tools required... and jigsaws could be probably bought used for essentially nothing). Some 3D printing designers/creators are truly demonstrating the whole new levels to the "when you have a hammer" problem.
I honestly don't know a whole lot about designing functional 3d prints, but yeah this just seems like an insane amount of wasted plastic. I can't believe the walls need to be that thick for this to function, and why can't the rails for the internal parts be built into the outside? Edit: Looking at the kickstarter, the non-customized exteriors seem a lot more reasonable on construction. Still could be more efficient ways to do it like you said, but not nearly as bad as this version. Also the fully finished and painted ones look a lot cooler than this one he cobbled together with random colors, so I can see the appeal a bit more.
I should check out the lighter options, but I've been avoiding most printed cases and such because most seem to have very poor capacity for their exterior volume. The walls on this thing are just insane. I have the same frustration with cable winders. Some are clever but you can turn a cubic foot of cables into a moving box with one.
One of my new favorite 3d channels. Can anyone point me to a blender tutorial on a pretty simple goal--i just want to swap like heads (and boots i guess) and bodies. I want to do a zombie diorama with the military defenders being like Trump and Biden (i can hope for a bipartisan world, even if it takes a zombie invasion) Again, love the channel.
Comparable cases would cost $250+. Depends on the material and make. Wargamers can get pretty creative with their cases. Some just use magnets and a toolbox
Ahh cool I know someone called Ari as well, now I know what his name means. I believe my name is Hebrew but don't know if it means anything? (My name is Menno, if you know, please let me know). The case looks amazing btw!
That design looks very wasteful. It is a complete case inside another very thick complete case. It looks to be at least $100 worth of plastic, to reproduce something you can get on amazon for undre $50. I love 3d pri ting as much as the next guy but replacing even a few of those panels with corrigated plastic would cut the cost and time down to less than half of this.
Yeah, I get that, though the plain one is less plastic... but like i said, i think it's not about saving money but rather building your own, similar to how making your own cabinets is more expensive than just buying IKEA most of the time, but it's about the project and making it exactly how you want it?
That's lucky about the ventilation! When i read the warning labels on 3d gloop I definitely busted out all my protection gear just to be safe. That warning about it affecting your bloods ability to absorb oxygen is not something I'm interested in discovering
Promoting a product for a hobby you don't partake in and don't have any minatures to even properly test it out seems like grifting to me. Even for people into minatures this thing has no real utility compared to other less wasteful solutions. Probably should have turned this sponsorship down rather than trying to speak on something outside your expertise
Crazy!!! Awesome video thanks Jonathan!! There is also a Micro size available now that is much smaller!
Oh snap! Gotta check that out for the kiddo. Thanks for making this video possible!

As a tabletop gamer, I can say with pretty good authority that the IV drug addiction would probably be cheaper...
Hahahahaha
I can back that, as ex Tabletop gamer
I can chime in here, also as a tabletop gamer.
Anyone want some grey plastic?
@@ArgoshI know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy who would want some.
War-ganizer Leviathan is the right choice. Save on all that plastic. And it’s much more versatile
Hey just saw you at the Sovol factory on their Instagram! Super cool. Congrats on that. First I heard of the SV07 too!
Hey, thanks!
@@thenextlayer I meant SV07 Plus. 🤦♂️ Cool stuff, but I think I still want the SV06 Plus more. 😁
Bwahahaaha love that intro and amazing build!
hahaha nice, thanks man. I thought you'd get a kick out of it. Hope to host you on the podcast soon, man! Message me on Discord :)
I really appreciated the filament graveyard bit, it puts in perspective just how much filament was used.
“Hopefully it won’t be intravenous drugs”
😂😂 dude what!?
just backed this after seeing your video, great storage to print for the kiddos to use for their toys and things
That is awesome! Thank you for using my link, and supporting the people who make this channel possible

I once printed a part for a costumer, no idea what is was for, that took 5.7 Kg of PP-CF Filament. Took 10 (!) days to print.
Maybe do a video on something like the ProtoCycler V3?
If they wanna send me one heck yeah I’d love to
Super cool video! These 3D printing project videos are awesome!
Glad you like them! Stay subbed for more
How much was the estimated cost in plastic? That was a lot of rolls if they were full 🤔
Usually about $10.00 per roll for PLA.
@@mpetty9947 ay where are you getting PLA for $10 a roll??

MY version? Should be scaled properly in my model, in mm.
The crate isn't my cup of tea, but a good video and I really like seeing the 3D file review. Definitely do more of them.
Will do! Thanks

I think I'll just go get a nice pelican case....

Nope no meaning I’m afraid
