Looks amazing!! If you were to ever make a V2, I'd love to see an oval shape vs a circle shape, almost like shelves that shuffle! Maybe with belts on the sides and two of these circular mechanisms (top and bottom of the oval). Thank you for the amazing contribution!

The gridfinity battlefield is good, but I'm glad I did check out your other projects, as the UwU mechs are equal parts crazy and cute. I'll be sure to print a squad for Weaseltech.

The existence of Gridfinity weighted a lot in my decision to buy a 3D printer, because the printer had to help me gain back the space it took in one way or another.

Hey Zack! I was so thrilled to see that you featured my Matrixed Marble Machines monstrosity on your channel! I've been a huge fan of your videos and of Gridfinity for a long time now. For those who may care, not all of the MMM modules are paid; there are a few free ones too. I debated about making them all free but man it just sucked so much of my time and filament to perfect, that... well you know. If you're having problems printing some of the taller risers, just print a few shorter ones and stack them up. Modular is good that way.
I thought that name sounded familiar and sure enough... My son's been getting into 3d printing lately, so I have also 🙂 I was thinking about your videos the other day and was wondering how you were doing. Hope you're doing well.
The cardboard bins are brilliant. Its something I often see as a flaw in a lot of 3d projects which is to say printing the whole thing. With tons of great ready made materials like PVC or ABS pipe, or in this case carboard, you can save so much time and filament by designing around these materials and assembling the final product. For example, in another week there is going to be tons of abandoned corrugated plastic signs on the roadside that would be perfect to recycle into something more useful than their original purpose.
I use those plastic signs for a ton of stuff - adding rigidity to the saddlebags on my bike, making louvered window shades and vent covers, covering wire-rack shelving to stop small stuff from falling through, turning canvas totes into semi-rigid bottle carriers, basically anything you could do with cardboard but want it to be waterproof and bug resistant instead.
Those things are great. Used one with a $5 yoga stepper as an arcade stick enclosure. Holds all the electronic guts inside perfectly and so easy to add/change things out
Re. those signs, corrugated plastic/corflute type materials have _insane_ strength-to-weight along their vertical axis. You can laminate a few layers together in the same orientation for load-bearing purposes, or alternating 90° layers for plywood-like panels that stay rigid on both axes. It's relatively weatherproof, a great insulator, easy to cut/shape with basic tools, and you can even seal the ends with epoxy for added longevity. They're a perfect candidate for a scaled-up version of the Shitfinity concept. You could print up some corner and edge brackets to make boxes/crates, or top and bottom sleeve rings to bend one or more sheets into a cylinder for stuff like parts bins, wastebaskets, or rod/dowel storage.
What I love about all of this, is this entire open source, community driven project was started because some other 3D print UA-camr was monetizing his organization system and keeping it behind a paywall. It's amazing how much further something can do when it's community driven. And this applies to just about everything in life.
I find it interesting that the 42mm x 42mm system just so happened to align itself with tabletop gaming mini sizes. The motorized carousel also seems to be fairly useful, if you don’t have any tall items to store.
I've been nonstop printing gridfinity for months to organize my shop. I'm not super organized so its great to see everything much cleaner. I look forward to printing many many motorized carousels. Thanks for all of this!!!
Hey Zack, I absolutely think you should look at using the planetary gear concept as your core technology. The belt driven version was giving me proxy-anxiety 😆 Just setting up a wall of the carousels with pis and ergableds seems excellent, but I think you need to print some double scale or more to fit your bigger objects. The problem with the carousel format is that the higher the objects you need to fit, the deeper the carousel needs to be (c.f. original fat-book carousel). If you did something extra like a carousel of carousels, it'd get enormous quickly. OTOH a wall of carousels can have the DB find the correct carousel, light it up like a disco, spin the correct bin to the front, and still be pretty damn cool. You'd have top-shelf-bottom-shelf items still, which would be sad.
out of all of UA-cam, your channel is one of them. seriously, I genuinely enjoy your content more than just about any other. I watch almost everything at 2x, a few things at 1.5x... but to catch all of the puns and jokes, my brain can't keep up unless I am at real time. I wish I had found you sooner. I'm 47, and I want to be like you when I grow up.
I can't lie I have had my Ender 3 S1 running nonstop to print gridfinity bases that screw together, I love using it as a storage system but the fact that people are using it as DnD and Missle Launchers is just proof that a standardized square template is EXACTLY what the 3D printing community needed
That carousel, if you put the ergableds in it, and hook up your organiser system would be a more fun video to watch than watching you design it from scratch. Partially because it means it will get done and watching you suffer isnt fun, but also just because The gear design is gorgeous. It highlights a fantastic model, and shows how you took it further, while also showing us something we can do.
I do not own a 3D printer and watching your content makes me want to never own one because of how fantastic and engaging the hobby and community are. I would get SO wrapped up in it. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and for enduring the suffering of printing such difficult projects.
But, with a 3D printer, you can create your own projects and solutions 😉 I have a nasty habit of making my own solutions to problems. Saying I'm going to post them. And well, never do, so they solve my problems 😅 My apologies everyone else 😅

@@gcewing There already will be consequences. When a DM mentions the size of the room, chances are, the rest of your party is going to take damage. That's why it's funny.
@@I.no.ah.guy57 But Reddit didn't support him. They even booted the the_donald subreddit after dicking with them and editing the text in peoples' posts. Correct the Record was all over reddit in that period (and never really left). I do agree with the sentiment of "fuck Reddit" though. Reddit corporate was in the Bag for Hillary which fits the 'fascist' comment for sure but doesn't fit with the sentiment toward the 2016 election unless he's going for 'a pox on both your houses'. Maybe a Bernie bro?
@@I.no.ah.guy57 yeah, i don't get it though, he think reddit clinched trump the election? what... by being ran by radical leftists who censor everything and even literally go into peoples posts and change what they said.... as some sort of intentional way of making the left look bad so people vote for trump? I don't get the connection.
Dude, the belt clip seems dumb at first but if you're using gridfinity for hobby or garage organization, being able to quickly take a few part or small tool bins with you hands-free could be a lifesaver. Also, if you're going to go through the trouble of packing the carousel with argableds, might as well throw an encoder in the base, nfc readers in the bin slots, and tags in the bins. Index whatever is on the carousel, integrate it with home assistant or home kit, and bam: call out what you need and the carousel turns to it for you
honestly for that carousel thing - I think the only thing I'd want to see for a next tier version of it would be to just make a "carousel of carousels" so you could have one large storage unit that holds like 25-50 trays, instead of a bunch holding 5 each. A digital system to type in what you want and then the whole thing spins to present that part to you (and lights it up on it's respective tray)
Taking the carosel and using it for your purpose is A-OK in my book. Especially considering how mammoth of an undertaking routing RGB signals to the rotating platforms is going to be. Godspeed Zack!
Love you videos man. I started watching your about a week after your last video and have binged almost every other one since. You and Brooke keep up the great work!
I'm adapting Gridfinity to tabletop gaming and hobbying. I use Painter's Fortress to store my paints, but Gridfinity to store tools. I have a secondary baseplate for use when I need to hobby somewhere other than my painting station. For gaming, I'm making bins to hold dice and counters, adapting dashboards to the Gridfinity system, and storing minis in stackable bins to get the most bang for my buck for the volume my shelves can hold
Zack, thank you so much. I love your work, wit, and wideos. Santa brought my kid a Bambu this past Christmas and we are hooked. This is my first comment on one of your videos so I get to say this: long-time lurker, first-time poster.
that carousel is so cool, and using it for your project (with proper attribution) fits its CC 4.0 license, so personally i don't see an issue. it might even make room for some clickbait about "my viewers did the work for me!!!" or whatever, lol
Got into 3D printing a few months ago and absolutely love your content. I don't go to Micro Center very often, but the few times that I have gone since finding your channel I keep crossing my fingers that I will run into you and say hi. Haha
@@famitory Well yeah, but like I was thinking and I don't think actual eurorack would be practical. Custom made/adapted modules would have to be the way to go but the size would still be an issue
Easily the Gridfinity Dungeon Kit is my jam. I've seen ways to make dungeons via 3d printing, but nothing to really keep the pieces together besides interlocking them like puzzle pieces which just makes assembly/disassembly a chore. Gridfinity is in fact the answer. As a bonus, if you put magnets in the dungeon tiles and the figurines, they snap to place and prevent the awkward "oops, I'm half way onto someone else's tile and moved them" scenarios.
Fr lol he can't seem to control his feelings and takes every chance he gets to rag on Trump 🤣🤷🏼♂️ kinda sad, I didn't think he'd be so lame but, oh well... 😮💨
I got banned from your discord server for asking "What's project 2025" in response to another user who mentioned it; because I live in Japan and genuinely never heard of it. They started typing in caps saying "ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Then "Ban this troll!" Then I was banned without so much as a warning. Dude, your discord channel is run by actual trigger happy fascists. Forcibly suppressing anything they even remotely deem as dissent. Are you aware of this? I was a member of that discord for like, 3 years and joined for 3D printing, I don't care about politics! No chance to appeal the ban or anything. Like, sorry I'm not super invested in American politics, I didn't realize that was a requirement to join what's essentially a 3D printing server.
@@Pyrichia I suppose so, the strange thing is I never said anything that was pro-trump. I didn't give any indication of my political affiliation at all, just my unawareness as to what project 2025 was. But, getting a small glimpse at the authoritarian and fascistic way they want to run things, thank God Trump won!
@CyricRO Project 2025 isn't even Trump's dream project. He's a New York Democrat from the 1980s template. Project 2025 is just the kind of reports think tanks make to stay relevant, on both sides. They dream up their magical list of things that'll fix the country, then push anything from it they can. And almost none of it actually happens. It was ill timed, but it was never Trump's ideas. The left just pretends it is so they can point at it and go "ooh, scary," usually lie about its scope and reach, and pretend Trump is going to do all of it. These people know it's just political theater and they do it anyway. If you're curious, you can look up Project 2025, fill out fake info, and get the entire PDF for free. It's interesting reading.
@@lombasto yeah that was so dumb and shows how he can't keep his feelings out of things 🙄 Trump really got these people's brains breaking and thinking about him 24/7 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Funny how his discord has "fascists" running it LMAO
Zack, I remember the Radio Shack circuit toy things! You're not the only dinosaur. Loved that as a kid! Also my coworker literally has one sitting on her desk right now, it's awesome.
I love how gridfinity is expanding, it really goes to show that it is living up to Zack's dreams of something that is widespread and has infinite(ish) options is happening.
About the motorized carousel: Level1: Use different buttons like 1-5 for each tray instead of up and down. Level2: use nfc tags for example on your soldering iron to get the tray with soldering stuff. Level3: voice control Level4: conveyor belt instead of carousel with more trays
That is genius of truly great engineering, 'it' being used to make something that was way outside of the original spec. Cudos to you and the community!
Holy shit that Dungeon Master book would've been an instant buy for me 10 years ago when I was doing DnD with friends at uni. Just a great way to store your dice, notes, minis and all the other crap.
Hello Mr. Freedman, thank you for posting this video. It made me feel good. You are a very entertaining, charismatic and likeable person. Your videos alone make you a very valuable addition to mankind. I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the future.
I love your content, and i think the gridfinity system is abosutly genius and am glad you shared it with the world, and that the world is sharing it back. Keep up the good work.
I really don't think its cheating to take the carousel idea and make it your way, that is how progress is made building up the ideals of others. Which is how that carousel came to be anyway - whomever it was who designed it in effect ripped off an ancient mechanism and your gridfinity concepts to make something cool. Honour the folks who's ideas you are building on whenever possible and never feel guilt for doing so. (pay them for it if they are not true open sourcing it - its their work and should be their decision if you have to pay for it)
Bro fr. That came out of nowhere and was so lame of him. He can't keep his feelings in check, apparently 🤷🏼♂️ I thought he wasn't a dem.. but oh well, I guess it kinda explains some things..
I wish people wouldn't throw politics into stuff that has nothing to do with it in order to virtue signal out of nowhere. "how dare you work for a company that did something bad in the past" is a weird take. No matter what vehicle he drives, I can guarantee that the guy who started the company was an absolute bastard.
Exactly. Reddit is no "comrade" of Trump or Republicans lmao But the fact that he felt the need to voice his disdain and hatred for Trump and anyone who supports him in a video about 3D printing, is just sad... 🤷🏼♂️😮💨🙄
I just wanted to pop in and say that you’ve quickly become my all-time favorite UA-cam channel. Your videos are so quality, informative, and have such personality Also I wanted to say something to please the algorithm overlords so more people get these suggested to them 😅
ah yes, dropping the "everyone who disagrees with me is a fascist" line 2 minutes into a completely unrelated video, what a great way to keep an audience!
@@wrongtown 1 : the last political group that defined their opposition as human trash and fundamentally lesser people wasn't exactly well known for being upstanding members of moral society. They also endorsed violence to people who disagreed with them and believed that it was a specific class of people within their country that was at fault for it's flaws. Wait, which people are supposed to be the fascists again? 2 : the "trash" of people who know the definition of fascism? (as much as there even is one.) This schtick of "everyone who disagrees with me is a fascist" stopped working years ago. (though I can think of at least one 'consulting' company that really wish it hadn't) Become a grown adult capable of civil conversation or leave the table and go sit with the other children.
Exactly. That made my opinion of him drop, not really due to how he thinks, but bc he chose to rant about how much he hates Trump and whoever supports him in a video about 3D printing... 🙄🤷🏼♂️😮💨
The cardboard one is my favourite from this video, mainly for how it limits the amount of waste plastic! But oh man, we learned about the book carousel in art history, and seeing @NichFugal had perfected a Gridfinity version makes my heart so happy! Maybe one day I will get a printer.
definitely. though i'd have gone with cereal boxes, you can get much larger sections of cardboard from them and not need to join pieces. The first time i started printing little storage boxes i thought of doing exactly that, just print the tops and bottoms, make the rest out of cad. it just makes sense. It can be too easy to just try to print everything at first, rather than realising mixed materials makes more sense than making everything out of plastic.
I wouldn't sell something I didn't think was worth buying in the first place. It takes people time and resources to design and prototype those things so they should make some money for it. Most of them use the money to make more models anyway. Not too mention there are lots of people who do not know how to model or are not good at it.
Bro fr lmao. Trump really has these people's brains breaking and thinking about him 24/7 so they rant about him and bring up how much they hate him every chance they get 🤣🤣🤣
I had to pause the video to laugh a full minute at T key bar joke. Sometimes people say "that was a long way to go for that joke" as a way of admonishing the person for going too far for a payoff that wasn't worth it. Well, I'm going to say "that was a long way to go for that joke," but it was worth the entire video 😂
Does nobody else find it odd that he made a vague political statement about reddit and refused to elaborate further or cite a source? I admit I haven't gotten knee deep on the matter, but the surface level doesn't show any political statements or American Election driven actions on reddit's part You realise you must substantiate your argument when being critical of something, right? You can't go about making inflammatory statements and just leave the proof as an exercise to the reader
They can't help but rant about how much they hate Trump and those who support him every chance they get 🤣🤣🙄🙄 And yes, Reddit is the furthest thing from "comrades" with Trump, or Republicans, for that matter lmao
In all of the possible directions to mention, I'm surprised you didn't mention upside down. Under-table cable management would be amazing with the magnet-based system. Have a management rail pop into the grid, and you can have realistically any variety of rail possible while also being modular and tesselate the footprint of a desk properly. Modify the gridfinity square to have a hole for a countersink screw for mounting, the grid itself would be secure and have amazing distribution of holding capacity, and coupled with the four magnets per tile any accessory on top also has the same capacity of security and holding distribution. If someone wanted fasteners instead of magnets, I'm sure modifying gridfinity to hold a nut from the back (table-nut-grid sandwich) with a screw on the rail cover's side would be more than sufficient enough, or even a clip-based system, etc. Gridfinity could easily be the cable management endgame.
Zack, please leave the politics out of your videos. I find your channel amusing, I like your scripting and your inventions are cool as hell. We all know you're a lefty, just put the politics on another channel, please.
This is such an important video just for the pov, philosophy anti Normy suffering logic content. Learning and research are fun and can be fulfilling without being aching painful or destructive. That way of thinking is so poisonous and actually kills genius and invention. Brilliance is found everywhere and when we oppress others we're losing so much potential for genius bc elites presume to tell us how things work when they don't care ❤ MAKE FUN SHIT! KNOCK THINGS LOOSE! LEARN THINGS!
I always considered you to be rather kind and inclusive as well as enjoyed your content, but insulting your Audience and just normal people who just so happen to work for someone you think helped a politician you dont like is about the opposite of that, it would be one thing is this was a Twitter post or something but its getting shoved into your content? Just takes the fun out of it instantly. Rude and hateful in a video that by all means has nothing to do with politics. I wasnt even able to find anything on reddit or its owners supporting trump, i did find an apology from them for modifying trump supporters comments. You're an impressive creator but im certainly not going to finish this video and wont keep watching more if you're going to drag in politics and insult your audience in an uncalled for way
Exactly. It was such a dumb and uncalled for take. He can't keep his emotions and opinions in check on a video that has NOTHING to do with politics 🤣 Oh, and they know NOTHING about actual fascism lol it's just a name they call those who don't think like them and the rest of the sheep 🙄

Partially because it means it will get done and watching you suffer isnt fun, but also just because The gear design is gorgeous. It highlights a fantastic model, and shows how you took it further, while also showing us something we can do.
Zack Freedman, king of the unwarranted portmanteau. May he forever reign.
I do not own a 3D printer and watching your content makes me want to never own one because of how fantastic and engaging the hobby and community are. I would get SO wrapped up in it. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and for enduring the suffering of printing such difficult projects.
But, with a 3D printer, you can create your own projects and solutions 😉
I have a nasty habit of making my own solutions to problems. Saying I'm going to post them. And well, never do, so they solve my problems 😅
My apologies everyone else 😅
6:50 I'm so used to "print" meaning 3D print by default that I didn't get this pun for like 20 minutes despite watching this segment back several times..
4:36 , I didn't ask how big the room is, I said, "cast fireball!"
Be careful casting fireballs in a plastic dungeon, there could be consequences.
Calm down Duncan.
I wanna cast magic missile!
Screw you and your fireball, I cast INSTANT BRAZILLIAN WAX!
@@gcewing There already will be consequences. When a DM mentions the size of the room, chances are, the rest of your party is going to take damage. That's why it's funny.
I dont understand the redit sidebar
Not sure anybody did.
I believe he was showing his disdain for Donald Trump... 🙄 "Fascist" lmao okay
@@I.no.ah.guy57 But Reddit didn't support him. They even booted the the_donald subreddit after dicking with them and editing the text in peoples' posts. Correct the Record was all over reddit in that period (and never really left). I do agree with the sentiment of "fuck Reddit" though. Reddit corporate was in the Bag for Hillary which fits the 'fascist' comment for sure but doesn't fit with the sentiment toward the 2016 election unless he's going for 'a pox on both your houses'. Maybe a Bernie bro?
@@I.no.ah.guy57 yeah, i don't get it though, he think reddit clinched trump the election? what... by being ran by radical leftists who censor everything and even literally go into peoples posts and change what they said.... as some sort of intentional way of making the left look bad so people vote for trump? I don't get the connection.
Dude, the belt clip seems dumb at first but if you're using gridfinity for hobby or garage organization, being able to quickly take a few part or small tool bins with you hands-free could be a lifesaver. Also, if you're going to go through the trouble of packing the carousel with argableds, might as well throw an encoder in the base, nfc readers in the bin slots, and tags in the bins. Index whatever is on the carousel, integrate it with home assistant or home kit, and bam: call out what you need and the carousel turns to it for you
honestly for that carousel thing - I think the only thing I'd want to see for a next tier version of it would be to just make a "carousel of carousels" so you could have one large storage unit that holds like 25-50 trays, instead of a bunch holding 5 each. A digital system to type in what you want and then the whole thing spins to present that part to you (and lights it up on it's respective tray)
_THE GRIDFINIVERSE EXPANDS._
Taking the carosel and using it for your purpose is A-OK in my book. Especially considering how mammoth of an undertaking routing RGB signals to the rotating platforms is going to be. Godspeed Zack!
DIY slip rings!
Thanks for shouting out SponsorBlock 😊
Love you videos man. I started watching your about a week after your last video and have binged almost every other one since. You and Brooke keep up the great work!
10:18 - I AM A MILLION YEARS OLD THANK YOU VERY MUCH (I remember those. Heathkits too.)
I actually have a couple Heathkits. Can you believe people just dump them at charity shops?!
I'd always play with my dad's old ones 🥰
How even you're capable of composing such a video. Can't imagine how much work you're putting into that. I love you dude
I'm adapting Gridfinity to tabletop gaming and hobbying. I use Painter's Fortress to store my paints, but Gridfinity to store tools. I have a secondary baseplate for use when I need to hobby somewhere other than my painting station. For gaming, I'm making bins to hold dice and counters, adapting dashboards to the Gridfinity system, and storing minis in stackable bins to get the most bang for my buck for the volume my shelves can hold
Oh god, I have that exact same solder sucker you show at the beginning. Best solder sucker I've ever owned!
1:46 reddit officially supported Clinton?
Thank you for making me feel young by mentioning an old thing I don’t remember and telling me im too young to remember. It feels good
That carousel is a great example of the community coming in to save the day. You should absolutely honor it by building on it!
Zack, thank you so much. I love your work, wit, and wideos. Santa brought my kid a Bambu this past Christmas and we are hooked. This is my first comment on one of your videos so I get to say this: long-time lurker, first-time poster.
that carousel is so cool, and using it for your project (with proper attribution) fits its CC 4.0 license, so personally i don't see an issue. it might even make room for some clickbait about "my viewers did the work for me!!!" or whatever, lol
This is awesome, I love seeing what the community does with stuff.
Cool! Bring back the searchable Gridfinity project!
modular 3d prints are for the future! keep going !
I was wondering when the next video was coming out. Yay!
Got into 3D printing a few months ago and absolutely love your content. I don't go to Micro Center very often, but the few times that I have gone since finding your channel I keep crossing my fingers that I will run into you and say hi. Haha
The cyberdeck gave me an idea I'm a bit too out of my depth to make. Gridfinity x Eurorack. It needs to happen it's like they're made for eachother
the concept is fun but boy is the LCM of 1/5" and 42mm ever not small
@@famitory Well yeah, but like I was thinking and I don't think actual eurorack would be practical. Custom made/adapted modules would have to be the way to go but the size would still be an issue
Easily the Gridfinity Dungeon Kit is my jam. I've seen ways to make dungeons via 3d printing, but nothing to really keep the pieces together besides interlocking them like puzzle pieces which just makes assembly/disassembly a chore. Gridfinity is in fact the answer. As a bonus, if you put magnets in the dungeon tiles and the figurines, they snap to place and prevent the awkward "oops, I'm half way onto someone else's tile and moved them" scenarios.
1:49 TDS is strong on this one
Fr lol he can't seem to control his feelings and takes every chance he gets to rag on Trump 🤣🤷🏼♂️ kinda sad, I didn't think he'd be so lame but, oh well... 😮💨
using Gridfinity for TTRPGs is actually so genius im surprised someone didnt come up with it sooner
I got banned from your discord server for asking "What's project 2025" in response to another user who mentioned it; because I live in Japan and genuinely never heard of it.
They started typing in caps saying "ARE YOU SERIOUS?"
Then "Ban this troll!"
Then I was banned without so much as a warning. Dude, your discord channel is run by actual trigger happy fascists.
Forcibly suppressing anything they even remotely deem as dissent. Are you aware of this?
I was a member of that discord for like, 3 years and joined for 3D printing, I don't care about politics!
No chance to appeal the ban or anything. Like, sorry I'm not super invested in American politics, I didn't realize that was a requirement to join what's essentially a 3D printing server.
Terminal Trump Derangement Syndrome. You have not lost much--and, thankfully, Gridfinity is bigger than Zach now.
@@Pyrichia I suppose so, the strange thing is I never said anything that was pro-trump. I didn't give any indication of my political affiliation at all, just my unawareness as to what project 2025 was.
But, getting a small glimpse at the authoritarian and fascistic way they want to run things, thank God Trump won!
@CyricRO Project 2025 isn't even Trump's dream project. He's a New York Democrat from the 1980s template. Project 2025 is just the kind of reports think tanks make to stay relevant, on both sides. They dream up their magical list of things that'll fix the country, then push anything from it they can. And almost none of it actually happens. It was ill timed, but it was never Trump's ideas. The left just pretends it is so they can point at it and go "ooh, scary," usually lie about its scope and reach, and pretend Trump is going to do all of it. These people know it's just political theater and they do it anyway.
If you're curious, you can look up Project 2025, fill out fake info, and get the entire PDF for free. It's interesting reading.
@@Pyrichianow it makes sense, his comment earlier in the video about Reddit admins of all people somehow helping Trump win in 2016 was bizarre af
@@lombasto yeah that was so dumb and shows how he can't keep his feelings out of things 🙄
Trump really got these people's brains breaking and thinking about him 24/7 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny how his discord has "fascists" running it LMAO
Love the organization carrousel, so cool!
Zack, I remember the Radio Shack circuit toy things! You're not the only dinosaur. Loved that as a kid! Also my coworker literally has one sitting on her desk right now, it's awesome.
Snap Circuits or the spring based thingamagig?
I love how gridfinity is expanding, it really goes to show that it is living up to Zack's dreams of something that is widespread and has infinite(ish) options is happening.
Wake up babe new gridfinities just dropped
About the motorized carousel:
Level1: Use different buttons like 1-5 for each tray instead of up and down.
Level2: use nfc tags for example on your soldering iron to get the tray with soldering stuff.
Level3: voice control
Level4: conveyor belt instead of carousel with more trays
4:10 proud user of sponsor block; well until google kills that option next year
Use a proper browser
Simply don't use chrome lmao
mozilla's looking pretty good!
You can skip video sections that are skiped often (or something like that) like sponsors or intros automatically soooo say by to that
That is genius of truly great engineering, 'it' being used to make something that was way outside of the original spec. Cudos to you and the community!
No one is doing gridfinity wrong? Oh dude... you GOTTA come by my place some time. 😂😂😂😂
Holy shit that Dungeon Master book would've been an instant buy for me 10 years ago when I was doing DnD with friends at uni. Just a great way to store your dice, notes, minis and all the other crap.
It was a weird accident not involving spiders but involving eagles. And certainly no nuclear waste.
Hello Mr. Freedman, thank you for posting this video. It made me feel good. You are a very entertaining, charismatic and likeable person. Your videos alone make you a very valuable addition to mankind. I wish you and your loved ones all the best for the future.
0:25 man's yappin about his dumb nuts lol
Did you know?
I love your content, and i think the gridfinity system is abosutly genius and am glad you shared it with the world, and that the world is sharing it back. Keep up the good work.
I really don't think its cheating to take the carousel idea and make it your way, that is how progress is made building up the ideals of others. Which is how that carousel came to be anyway - whomever it was who designed it in effect ripped off an ancient mechanism and your gridfinity concepts to make something cool. Honour the folks who's ideas you are building on whenever possible and never feel guilt for doing so. (pay them for it if they are not true open sourcing it - its their work and should be their decision if you have to pay for it)
u are absolutely a genius , ty for all your vids
Zack.. you seem to suffer from TDS.... very sad
Bro fr. That came out of nowhere and was so lame of him. He can't keep his feelings in check, apparently 🤷🏼♂️ I thought he wasn't a dem.. but oh well, I guess it kinda explains some things..
Love these ones!! Definitely going to print the D&D stuff!
What kind of projection was that Reddit comment..? And admins on there literally created new rules just to silence their political opposition…
His TDS is advanced stage 4. Sad really.
I wish people wouldn't throw politics into stuff that has nothing to do with it in order to virtue signal out of nowhere. "how dare you work for a company that did something bad in the past" is a weird take. No matter what vehicle he drives, I can guarantee that the guy who started the company was an absolute bastard.
People with TDS can't help it. They don't care about any consequences, because in their eyes T is literally H. No difference whatsoever.
Exactly. Reddit is no "comrade" of Trump or Republicans lmao
But the fact that he felt the need to voice his disdain and hatred for Trump and anyone who supports him in a video about 3D printing, is just sad... 🤷🏼♂️😮💨🙄
@@deamontana596 yeah that definitely tainted my opinion of Zack. Apparently he can't keep his feelings and opinions in check 🙄🤷🏼♂️
Great video! The rotating gridfinity at the end was great!
Reusing already existing engineering isn’t cheating! It is often good practice. Why remake a thing that already exists but maybe worst?
Always a good day when Zach makes a vid
WRONG!! i'm doing gridfinity wrong by not
I just wanted to pop in and say that you’ve quickly become my all-time favorite UA-cam channel. Your videos are so quality, informative, and have such personality
Also I wanted to say something to please the algorithm overlords so more people get these suggested to them 😅
9:13 I'm not used to staring to both of your eyes. At the same time.
yea he looks weird without his eye piece.... I got scared... who is this man!?
I love the cleverly organized chaos of his narration
I need a gridfinity system to display my maga hats 😂
I literally don't think I have ever spotted a hidden supporter name despite watching every video on this channel.
ah yes, dropping the "everyone who disagrees with me is a fascist" line 2 minutes into a completely unrelated video, what a great way to keep an audience!
Let the trash take itself out.
@@wrongtown 1 : the last political group that defined their opposition as human trash and fundamentally lesser people wasn't exactly well known for being upstanding members of moral society. They also endorsed violence to people who disagreed with them and believed that it was a specific class of people within their country that was at fault for it's flaws. Wait, which people are supposed to be the fascists again?
2 : the "trash" of people who know the definition of fascism? (as much as there even is one.)
This schtick of "everyone who disagrees with me is a fascist" stopped working years ago. (though I can think of at least one 'consulting' company that really wish it hadn't) Become a grown adult capable of civil conversation or leave the table and go sit with the other children.
Exactly. That made my opinion of him drop, not really due to how he thinks, but bc he chose to rant about how much he hates Trump and whoever supports him in a video about 3D printing... 🙄🤷🏼♂️😮💨
The cardboard one is my favourite from this video, mainly for how it limits the amount of waste plastic! But oh man, we learned about the book carousel in art history, and seeing @NichFugal had perfected a Gridfinity version makes my heart so happy!
Maybe one day I will get a printer.
definitely. though i'd have gone with cereal boxes, you can get much larger sections of cardboard from them and not need to join pieces.
The first time i started printing little storage boxes i thought of doing exactly that, just print the tops and bottoms, make the rest out of cad. it just makes sense. It can be too easy to just try to print everything at first, rather than realising mixed materials makes more sense than making everything out of plastic.
in my opinion, paid 3d printing files are... acceptable if they are absolutely great quality
If you don’t think something is great quality why would you print it even if it were free?
i meant at least better quiality than avarage good
I wouldn't sell something I didn't think was worth buying in the first place. It takes people time and resources to design and prototype those things so they should make some money for it. Most of them use the money to make more models anyway. Not too mention there are lots of people who do not know how to model or are not good at it.
I know
9:25 That was an extremely clever pun. It kind of caught me off guard. Congratulations. That should go in the nerd puns hall of fame in my opinion.
Lol on the TDS @ 1:46
Bro fr lmao. Trump really has these people's brains breaking and thinking about him 24/7 so they rant about him and bring up how much they hate him every chance they get 🤣🤣🤣
I had to pause the video to laugh a full minute at T key bar joke. Sometimes people say "that was a long way to go for that joke" as a way of admonishing the person for going too far for a payoff that wasn't worth it. Well, I'm going to say "that was a long way to go for that joke," but it was worth the entire video 😂
You think Reddit supports Donald Trump? What alternate universe are you from?
The DND board was some of the coolest I've seen. It seems to fit the format so well
Does nobody else find it odd that he made a vague political statement about reddit and refused to elaborate further or cite a source? I admit I haven't gotten knee deep on the matter, but the surface level doesn't show any political statements or American Election driven actions on reddit's part
You realise you must substantiate your argument when being critical of something, right? You can't go about making inflammatory statements and just leave the proof as an exercise to the reader
Just because you're out of the loop doesn't mean everyone else is.
He’s got TDS and somehow things an extreme left wing site helped Trump win 8 years ago
Reddit is no "comrade" of Trump or Republicans, at all lmao it was such a dumb take. He can't keep his feelings and opinions in check 🙄🤷🏼♂️
1:15 I have saved so many empty toilet rolls without a clear project in mind. This.. This.. I might actually have a use now.
Quiet in here
AAAAAAHHHHHHH
Nya
You know its a good day when zack uploads
Damn, the TDS is really strong in this one.
I was always under the impression that Reddit was very left leaning. ??
@@jacobm2625 It is INCREDIBLY left leaning.
Also the guy that won in 2016 ended wars and didn't start any new ones. How terrible of him...
They can't help but rant about how much they hate Trump and those who support him every chance they get 🤣🤣🙄🙄
And yes, Reddit is the furthest thing from "comrades" with Trump, or Republicans, for that matter lmao
In all of the possible directions to mention, I'm surprised you didn't mention upside down. Under-table cable management would be amazing with the magnet-based system. Have a management rail pop into the grid, and you can have realistically any variety of rail possible while also being modular and tesselate the footprint of a desk properly. Modify the gridfinity square to have a hole for a countersink screw for mounting, the grid itself would be secure and have amazing distribution of holding capacity, and coupled with the four magnets per tile any accessory on top also has the same capacity of security and holding distribution. If someone wanted fasteners instead of magnets, I'm sure modifying gridfinity to hold a nut from the back (table-nut-grid sandwich) with a screw on the rail cover's side would be more than sufficient enough, or even a clip-based system, etc. Gridfinity could easily be the cable management endgame.
Zack, please leave the politics out of your videos. I find your channel amusing, I like your scripting and your inventions are cool as hell. We all know you're a lefty, just put the politics on another channel, please.
Feelings hurt?
@@Voyajer. Ha nope, feeling unburdened by what has been lol
@@Baneling93 hell yeah lmao I'm feeling SOOO unburdened by what has been 🤣🤣
This is such an important video just for the pov, philosophy anti Normy suffering logic content. Learning and research are fun and can be fulfilling without being aching painful or destructive. That way of thinking is so poisonous and actually kills genius and invention. Brilliance is found everywhere and when we oppress others we're losing so much potential for genius bc elites presume to tell us how things work when they don't care ❤ MAKE FUN SHIT! KNOCK THINGS LOOSE! LEARN THINGS!
I always considered you to be rather kind and inclusive as well as enjoyed your content, but insulting your Audience and just normal people who just so happen to work for someone you think helped a politician you dont like is about the opposite of that, it would be one thing is this was a Twitter post or something but its getting shoved into your content? Just takes the fun out of it instantly. Rude and hateful in a video that by all means has nothing to do with politics. I wasnt even able to find anything on reddit or its owners supporting trump, i did find an apology from them for modifying trump supporters comments. You're an impressive creator but im certainly not going to finish this video and wont keep watching more if you're going to drag in politics and insult your audience in an uncalled for way
Exactly. It was such a dumb and uncalled for take. He can't keep his emotions and opinions in check on a video that has NOTHING to do with politics 🤣
Oh, and they know NOTHING about actual fascism lol it's just a name they call those who don't think like them and the rest of the sheep 🙄
I have seen your thumbnails for a long time, but yesterday I finally clicked. I have been binging your videos ever since and you are quickly one of my favorite creators on UA-cam. I love your insane creativity and your 1999 vision of the future. We would be best friends if we ever met.
Zack could use more friends, feel free to put in an application
Don't understand why he mentioned Reddit right now. That was 8 years ago
It's because people have been moving off of reddit recently.
Trump lives in these people's heads, rent free, 24/7 lmao so much so that they feel the need to voice their hatred for him and those who support him, any chance they get, especially during a video that has nothing to do with politics....😮💨🙄🤷🏼♂️
9:38 You can search for words in each DM seperately, so if you go through and search for a keyword from their message you can probably still find it.
