  • 👉 👉 👉 So you've got a 3D printer, and the first thing you ask yourself is: What should I print now?
    For sure, you'll go through your printer upgrades phase, printing out at least a kilo of tchotchkes and trinkets that may or may not actually improve your 3D printer or your 3D printing workflow.
    But, then what? Well, then you'll probably go through your trendy 3d prints phase where you'll print the same silly stuff we've all printed before. Articulated octopuses, fidget toys, benchies, and on and on. But eventually one of two things will happen. Either you'll get sick of printing stuff that doesn't actually have a purpose, or your wife or significant other will get sick of a bunch of useless plastic crap kicking around your house.
    What to do? Well, fortunately in this video I'm going to share with you some of my absolute favorite, most useful 3D prints. Yes. Actual functional, useful 3D prints that solve real problems for you and your family. So practical, even your wife or significant other will have to agree that buying another printer is a good idea after all.
    Stick around to the end because I think you'll be very surprised at some of the things that you can actually print.

    I have been 3d printing for over four years and have never printed a benchy. Ninety % of everything I print is a repair part, a tool , replacement item, or equipment I want or need. 3d printing has saved me hundreds of dollars in tools and less frustration in finding a solution to a problem. Great video by the way.

    Definitely another one of these focusing on tool storage please!
    One little bit of constructive criticism (and this is purely my own personal opinion) - I'd prefer a shift (maybe 10-30% more) toward dynamic b-roll footage of whatever you're talking about, and/or making more use of your standing-in-front-of-the-camera time to physically show us stuff. Everything you're saying is relevant and interesting, and there's nothing wrong with your face (or hair!), it's just about whether the visuals are adding value to the content of any given segment.
    As a point of reference, I think you nailed the balance in your previous video about the camera mount :) For a new channel you're doing great! Keep it up and I reckon it's only a matter of time before your subscriber count starts soaring.

As the verbal descriptions were quite good, I did not feel that I was missing anything by not watching the video the whole time. When there were things presented that I wished to see, I just switched to the video tab and backed up a bit to watch for the details. I very much appreciate the chapter markings.

    My S/O has actually liked 2 things I printed for her. One was a wicker basket style pen holder for her desk at work. I also printed new shower curtain holders since ours were not very good or nice looking. I also noticed she really likes the marble white filament a lot. I made a corner Apple TV holder and that was the first time she even raised her eyebrows at any print I did. I also made a remote holder that goes on the bed so that we don’t lose the remotes which happens almost daily before I had the holders.

    I actually suggested shelf supports to my wife yesterday but she does not want plastic on her new kitchen walls. We will see how those silly floating shelf supports hold up.
    I also have been waiting years to get a 3d printer to finally fix the kitchen trash can so the peddle will work again.
    That can cost almost $100!
    One of the first things I printed was a door stopper that fits on the hinge pin of the pantry door as it was bumping the new oven's knobs and turning the on stove whenever you opened the door.
    Even though the hardware store is only 2mins down the road it was a holiday weekend and company was coming so it was faster to print something
    I also just got an overpriced Cricut for my wife and I ended up making all the labels for the Christmas decorations.
    This video is so on point.

    Can confirm, the repkord system is truly awesome. I personally am quite tall so I hung it right up next to the ceiling, high enough that it is totally out of the way but I can still easily reach it all. (4) 10 foot sticks of 1/2" EMT ran me like $30, plus 6 wall cleats and 6 brackets. The perfectly sorted by material and color rainbow of filament is so satisfying.

    Currently living in Korea where they have to separate their compost in a special red bag. Here, most people keep it in the freezer so that it doesn't make the house smell, but it would be nice to have a bin to keep in the freezer like that, so there isn't just a bag floating around. Now I've got to figure out which plastic will hold up best in the freezer. 🤣Thank you for this video. I'm trying to talk my husband into getting a large format printer, this was super useful. Helped him remember how much money we saved when the shelf in our closet fell and we printed off new anchors for it. Other useful prints I've found (just to help the cause): Spice racks, tea dispenser, coffee pod dispensers, rulers and protractors for kids when school starts, mounts for eyeglasses, kitchen aid organizers, soap dishes, and lithophane gifts.

The second you mentioned drawers, my brain immediately went to my garage where all my Ryobi Battery packs live. No matter how neat I try to keep them, every time I open their drawer, they are messed up (thanks again Wifey). Going to make some dividers so only the right batteries go in the right spot!!! What DEMON would put an 18V battery next to a 36V one, so there is no room left??? :)

    I've found printed bearings can actually be super useful in the right applications. They don't tend to spin as freely as metal ones, which is a property you might want sometimes. Obviously they won't hold up to high RPMs, but for low speeds, they might just be perfect. Spool holders, for example, you might not want to spin too freely and unravel your filament..

    The first useful item that I printed was an electric toothbrush holder that I downloaded from Thingiverse. It gave us a stable stand in whch to place the toothbrushes so that they are no longer laying down of the vanity top or setting unsteadily in paper cups or other improvised holders. My wife loves it and keeps talking about how wonderful she thinks that it is.
    A tool that I printed was a set of feeler gauges so that I could measure tight spaces like slots for mounting tabs. While they are probably not as dimensionally accurate as a set of machined metal gauges, they have the advantage of giving the dimensions needed for the as-printed part.

    Second print that impressed her was a mount for a Google Home that hides the cord and gets it up off the kitchen counter.

    Printed the hinge in PETG and it’s still strong after one and a half year. Managed to find a hinge that actually fitted my toilet seat.

    Ive done soooo many prints for my girlfriend, dad, and friends. From interior car parts. to hangers for shelves, to outdoor pieces. For example my dad needed a low volume part for an RV fridge. The part online was $40 and would take a month to ship. 30 min of design, 30 min print, and .5 cents of plastic.

    I think the most important thing is to stop searching for models, and start MAKING models.
    Other people's designs are great for inspiration, but the real power of a 3D printer is producing things which no one has ever made before, things which suit extremely specific needs.

      @Dingle.Donger Рік тому

      Really? I thought wireless charging was better because it's generally slower and I once read that it """stops""" charging when your phone is fully charged. Obviously it doesn't actually stop or your battery would slowly decrease again but IIRC it's better to have a fully charged phone on a wireless pad than plugged in.
