Much rather watch videos about functional mechanical 3D printed parts than watching someone print shelf trinket figurines.
Thx! I think the trinkets are a gateway drug into the hobby, which is fine. I just hope more people graduate into basic design and making useful stuff to improve and extend the life of everyday objects.
Absolutely right
I've recently been experimenting with press brake style dies printed in PA-CF (nylon carbon fiber for those who aren't familiar) with a very surprising success rate. I run a small machine shop that occasionally has the need for small batch bending and the expense to sub it out doesn't make sense. I'm using a Bambu X1C and the dies come out beautifully. I'm actually shocked at the strength of the material when printed in the optimum orientation. Great video!
Always fantastic to see you real world problem solving with your printer
thx! I really enjoy the whole process
Refreshing to see useful tools being made!
thx! so many people miss out on the real value of 3d printing by never learning basic CAD.
Mahgad! Thank you, this is exactly what I needed.
In the case of this particular bend a longer printed die would have been helpful after widening the areas directly to the left and right of the bend using the small die.
Yeh, I rushed a bit this week :( I would have liked to have had two length dies, and a narrow inner die to get started with. Still pretty happy with the results though.
Cool too!.
Gets some new sheet metal and do your own from scratch. See if you can emulate the corner crimps with your 3d printed mounds. Do a 2 or 3 stage process. Allow for spring-back too.
Awesome use of your printer! Good job!
Love the ASMR hammering
Dude, this is awesome! Im restoring my 64 f100 and was thinking about trying this
Give it a shot! Let us know how it goes.
Extra gap is more acceptable than over size and jamming.
I was hoping to see you clamp the bottom die in your bench vise to support the sides of the die while forcing the punch into the die.
Metal forming buck!!! :D
Real nice job. They both turned out real nice (especially the kinked one). I'd try doubling the length of the dies for more support. Fantastic out come. Yes, I'd print variations of the die (narrow center) to work up to the finished die. I wonder if pads on the pliers would have helped to not scar the material, but it looked great and I'd use it the way it was. Turn your mic off when in fast forward, it sounds like mouse chatter! LOL! Those 3D printed dies are really strong, I watched a video in which the printed custom sized dies to bend metal for fabrication. Very informative video. Thank you.
Thx so much for the feedback. Sorry about the mic noise in the sped-up sections. I usually edit those sections out, but was in a hurry last wk and missed it :(
I really got to get better with my print designing. Which program are you using? Btw, great job on getting those straightened out.
Thank you! I use Sketchup Make and Fusion 360, depending on the project.
