After coming across this video, I went back and binge watched most of your other ones. 3D printing + functional/practical prints + fishing + watching the design process??? Yes, please!
These are great. Thanks for taking the extra time to video and share them. It occurred to me that the two pieces of the mug shelf might go together more securely if the joint is overlapping. Do you think those solid hexagons are thick enough to split their height, alternating top half and bottom half? If the other side is printed so that the pieces interlock when you slide the two sides together (which might be difficult I now realize.. I wonder if a tiny gap would be needed) they would already have some vertical support. It would also provide considerably more gluing surface. I don’t know if I’m explaining it clearly.
Thank you :) Definitely agree about the overlapping joint being a better idea than the way I chose to do it. It was a case of me printing out the first prototype, realising that I should have used an overlapping lip joint but deciding not to remodel the joint and reprint the shelf because it worked well enough and I didn't want to use up anymore filament lol.
@@LexieEclecticthere was certainly no need to keep refining yours; you have an excellent solution. :) I’m just trying to wrap my mind around whether the alternating half tabs would work and was seeking your input. I suspect I might need to print mine in quarters so strength is a concern.
Some ideas for improvement based on my experience: - backpack hook needs a lot more rounding, otherwise it's hard to put something on the hook + it usually damages the cloth itself. - adding slot for finger so it would be easier to take wallet out - adding holes on the bottom to give yourself a way to clean it when inevitably some dirt or garbage falls down. - making holder for keys magnetic to make it more accessible from both sides - mug shelf probably needs some edge on perimeter otherwise at some point there is chance of breaking mugs - spice rack should have a way to hold individual parts between each other, and maybe some gluing to the wall of the cupboard (or additional legs on the front), or I can see chance of disaster when all the spices will slide out. - spice rack should also have some angle to spices bottles, like commercial ones, otherwise it's, again, easy for them to fall out. - spice rack also can be printed one hex at a time in vase mode with thick nozzle, then glued together.
@StasZubenko You are more than welcome to download the cad files and improve on them. I've also added images of measurements for each Printables model if you want to 3d model the parts from scratch instead. I've added a link to my Printables account in the description.
That's awesome! I hope you have fun learning both. I find Blender to be a lot more complicated and less intuitive than Fusion but also a lot more powerful (especially when it comes to organic shape modeling). Thanks for the positive comment :)
So I think we purchased them from amazon like 7 years ago but I couldn't see the item available on amazon anymore. There is a listing on Hot Topic's website for the exact mugs I bought. Google search "we bare bears stack mugs" and the listing should pop up.
I love watching projects like this

Thank you for the kind comment! Glad that you enjoy my videos:)
3d printing custom things for my space is my favorite thing ever. Great job!
Really enjoyed your video… your projects are giving me ideas! So glad you showed how you modeled them too.

Hey Lexie I love that hook! So good
Some ideas for improvement based on my experience:
- backpack hook needs a lot more rounding, otherwise it's hard to put something on the hook + it usually damages the cloth itself.
- adding slot for finger so it would be easier to take wallet out
- adding holes on the bottom to give yourself a way to clean it when inevitably some dirt or garbage falls down.
- making holder for keys magnetic to make it more accessible from both sides
- mug shelf probably needs some edge on perimeter otherwise at some point there is chance of breaking mugs
- spice rack should have a way to hold individual parts between each other, and maybe some gluing to the wall of the cupboard (or additional legs on the front), or I can see chance of disaster when all the spices will slide out.

Im currently printing the Mug shelf. Very nice design. Hoping it comes out well on my machine.
@@Camaro45th Thank you! I hope it comes out well too and that you enjoy it😊
Fun projects.
thats so cool! i just got my 3d printer last month, I've been wanting to learn blender or f360 since

Well done, great stuff :)
Where did you get the we bare bears mug?
