You, young man have demonstrated beyond any shadow of doubt that you should be earning a very large salary ! I have enjoyed your videos for a long time and always learn something ... I'm 75 and have been 'technical' all of my life. I have several workshops at home and there are very few things I won't attempt. I don't have a 3D printer because I had doubts about the usefulness... you sold me, I am going to buy the same one you have ... you should be on commission ! Thank you, I know how long video making and editing takes. :)
This is the first 3D printing video I think I've ever seen that isn't just some dumb "Let's print this C+ Yoda model... Again! BUT WITH GLOW IN THE DARK PLA!", but rather shows how powerful a tool it can be if *you actually have something useful to print on it* Incredible quality of work, super practical, very well presented.
The magic is not useful stuff to print. What he has discovered and was able to achieve the skill to do is the REAL magic of 3D printing. the ability to translate a desire in ones head into a model on the computer that the Printer could then replicate for him. IE the ability to go from MIND to MODEL to OBJECT in hand. that is the true magic and power of 3D printing. I can dream up anything. almost literally anything. but if I can't "make it real" its just that. a dream. if you can learn to master even "basic" modelling skills (its amazing what you can make with tinkercad and you can learn tinkercad in 10 minutes or less) the sky is almost literally the limit!
there are many thing can be done if you are creative person....most of people cant afford 3d printing and expensive equipment always has something in mind to created thing..but they doesnt have resources for it...
I'm getting my first 3D printer soon, and I hope it'll be as useful as I expect. I tinker a lot with airsoft guns and also car stuff, so imagine it'll be very useful for making more complex parts that's too complex to do with hand tools.
You have some serious creativity going on that show a 3D printer is not just a new contraption for printing 3D models of Groot and D&D figures. I recently bought one and have so many things I want to print because the store items are too expensive or just don't quite fit my needs. I know it will take time a lot of failures to get it right but know it will pay off by being able to print things tailor made to my needs instead of having to use off the shelf things that kinda work.
I very rarely comment on UA-cam videos but here I will make an exception. Firstly your spoken English is actually better than many English people I’ve heard speaking and English is their first and only language. It doesn’t matter if you use American pronunciation or British (although British is the correct way 😂) if people viewing your videos don’t like it, stuff them. Secondly for such a young person that doesn’t have decades of experience, I think you are close on genius. You clearly have a great mind along with numerous varied skills at your disposal. I am fast approaching 60 and I would be very happy just to have 10% of your skill level. I imagine your parents are extremely proud of you. Thank you for taking up your valuable time to share your knowledge.
My brit friends never stop harping on things in the US that are prounounced different or called by different names or when I don't know about something common for them. I never bring up the things I find different and odd though because I would just be the know-it-all American. And I left 60 behind a few years ago.... hehe.
@@mikeyoung9810 Right and the English have more colloquialisms that I could ever commit to memory, but then I'm American born and I would never criticize them for their slang usage. That's just rude.

Steve 127 you scream like neurotic, liberal Democrat that starts , causes trouble where NONE is. So where's all those people for you to post. "if people viewing your videos don’t like it, stuff them." referencing to his way of speaking English. Seriously WTF does this post even comes from in your head. We are watching plastic parts being applied to great use. Add you LIE and comment on Y Tube a lot because your a liberal and they cant help making stupid comments causing trouble. If what you say is true. Then WHY this "rare comment' that's out of context .
The American spelling and pronunciation is actually more accurate and more historically significant than the British version. The person who discovers elements gets to name them. Sir Humphry Davy, a British chemist, discovered this metal in 1808. Davy originally gave this element the name aluminum (um not ium) after the mineral alumina, whose name derive from the base alum which means “bitter salt” in Latin. This name was also documented by Davy in his book Chemical Philosophy. A separate scientist - who did NOT discover the element - decided that Davy’s spelling didn’t sound sufficiently Latin, and proposed the name aluminium(ium).
I love how everything is with actual purpose. You opened my eyes tremendously when it came to just the expectations a 3d printer can do. Not just models but actually useful stuff
Thomas and Marius, if you could make videos for machinists who have access to fully equipped machine shops it would help a lot of people out including myself. Essentially a very advanced theory series. Thomas, I have heard you say some mods would be difficult without a machine shop but lots of us do have it available and potential to integrate add and sub is too great to ignore. I just recently received a prusa mK3 and havent assembled yet because I feel I should re-machine a lot of printed parts
You are proof enough that the main limitation to 3D printing is your imagination. I’ve only been tinkering with 3D printer for a few months, but I am in awe of the sort of work you’re doing in your workshop.
I've watched a bunch of 3D printer videos, but this is the best one that actually shows the endless possibilities of printing useful objects. Excellent job Marius! You've got a great mind!
3 years ago: 3D printing isn't worth it, who needs it. Today: *a fine coating of PLA over every surface in the workshop* Seriously though, this video is inspirational. 3D Printing is perfect for custom, individualized, small scale manufacturing and I'm happy to see you make such good use of it. Favorited this video!
@MichaelKingsfordGrayOver 100 people liked his comment and zero liked yours. Does that give you a hint as to whether you should think a little harder before pressing "reply" ?
@MichaelKingsfordGray What about your ad hominem directed toward Anchor Bait? I guess in your childish little mind, it's okay for you to lash out at others, but then you get all bitchy and defensive when someone calls you on it. Pathetic. I'm muting you by the way so don't bother with a reply.
Wow! For someone whose first impression of 3D printing was less than enthusiastic, you sure have designed and created some truly useful shop and tool accessories. Keep up the great work Marius!
Hi Marius, Only halfway through this video and I can already judge that you are very innovative and have made the best use of 3D printers. Unlike others who just print out figurines, you've actually made useful parts. You are very skillful, keep the great work going
No they will not since there ain´t no such thing. These people are practical realist. Practical realism stresses the importance of the here and now, not lunar landings or any such no non sense.These people have no time for new atheist conventions or any other non sense.
You sir, are an absolute Master Craftsman, hats off to you! I am 65, thinking I might get myself a 3D printer, after watching this video it's a definite "yep".
Brilliant job. Not just the video, the off-beat sarcasm or the great narration, but mostly the parts that you've created and implemented. You will most probably single-handedly cause a bit of a surge in worldwide 3D printer sales for a while!
one of the highest quality videos where the young man has the main word, full of modeling knowledge and how to make it functional in real life. Videos like this should be shown on TV, not empty shows, so maybe young people around the world would better use their time and brain ... to learn something. Well done.
Marius, great video. Don't think I have seen so many useful parts from a 3D printer in one video before. Keep learning, creating and sharing. It is very much appreciated.
I watched this entire video with mouth agape. Such enormous creativity. Not shown are what must be some mad CAD skills. I am mostly now thinking about all those broken plastic pieces that I can recreate to repair things.... Echoing the theme of this video, it's the first time I've seen truly useful items using 3D printing, rather than models and prototypes. Also high enough resolution not to require significant machining after "casting" in the machine. Marcus, please repeat in print the name of your system; thanks.
He was using a prusa Mk3, awesome printers, more expensive then many entry level printers, but really worth it for the quality. Can either be bought as a kit to build yourself or fully assembled.
I enjoy seeing when 3D printing is used to create useful things. When I bought my 3D printer I decided that I would not print useless objects but only usable things that I need. I have created replacement parts for broken stuff, adapters and some tools. Both downloaded and own designs but no figurines. Your 3D printed objects are very well designed and functional. Congratulations.
yea who would have thought! holy shit! Lol.. only an accountant would say it isn't "useful" anyone who has any type of tools can fix tons of crap with them
Oh yes and most people make things that you can make faster and cheaper with conventional metods, or make things that already exist and you can buy them for cheap. But they proudly make this statement that IT WAS 3D PRINTED! It makes me laugh every time
Took me forever to finally buy a 3D printer, the first few prints where just figurines, but then i started selling them and then once the word got out i started to print and sell things like box joint jigs with locating pins to be used with routers, drill bit sharpener guides for a dremel, a pletora of other dremel attachments. I never really charge all that much because the time i spend on these attachments I think of it as i would have anyways so i just charge cost of material X5 to cover a few reprints plus extra material. In just 2 months the printer paid itself off plus mods, plus all the filament i have used and more. I need to perfect my template for gear cutting using a router table only by riding on the bit bearings.
I got into 3D printing 10 years ago, with the goal of printing usable tools, parts, etc. Now I 3D Print a lot more things than I purchase. I am glad to see videos that focus on useful 3D printing, thank you. Never could understand the people that print trinket type things, 3D printing has always been about making useful items (ever since the early 1980's).
My 3D printer is my favorite woodworking tool. You demonstrated excellent use of it. Your designs are well thought out and I can tell you've spent some time on them. We'll done!
There is really one way to say it.....You have captured the essence of 3D printing. Great work! Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and ideas!!
If someone asked me 20 years ago what machine to buy to make cool stuff with I would say a metall lathe.. today I would say a 3d printer. Awesome video mate! as always.
Great video! Would love if you made a video on your design process - software used and decisions around exact functionality of 3D printed pieces (i.e. using magnets to hold piece to vice, etc.)
You have provided one of the most compelling videos expressing great reasons to get into 3D printing. I'm seriously considering investing now, thank you.
As an older woodworker who is waiting on the delivery for Christmas of my first printer, a Creality Ender 3, I just wanted to say thank you for these great ideas. It completely backs up my decision to get a printer to assist me in my woodworking and you have opened up my mind to a whole new range of thinking over and above the plans that I already had. Excellent, thank you for sharing your hard work and great thinking, I, for one, very much appreciate what you have shared, thank you, again, excellent work 11 x 👍
Well, I am 53. Life is all about learning and exploring. Then applying skills you have learned to survive. This is the main purpose off anything that needs to survive. You are a prime example of someone who is currently moving in a good direction. Just build your knowledge and skills, try to get over distractions as soon as possible mate. Climbing the ladder.... people above will try to step on you, below some will try to pull you down. Focus and go for it.
Sehr geil. Dafür das du erst keinen wirklichen Mehrwert gesehen hast ist über die Zeit doch viel entstanden. Aber auch das zeichnet dich aus... Man muss auch über seinen eigenen Schatten springen können. Sehr coole Sachen auf alle Fälle. Ist bestimmt die ein oder andere Stunde an Entwicklungsarbeit reingeflossen.
You have some seriously good skills with design... This is the true key to getting the most out of a 3D printer. If you can design stuff that you can think of, there's no end to how useful they can be. Thank you for sharing your experience.
This is exactly the 3D printing video I was looking for! Your designs are brilliant and show off the power of 3D printing better than all the pretty but not very practical printings of figurines. Bravo!
Just found your channel, you are amazing! Might you show us how you design your own projects to 3d print? Also your detailed planning and creative ideas, and craftsmanship are truly inspiring!
I admit 3D printing isn't for everyone, but I'm a few weeks in to owning an entry-level printer and I have no regrets. I already have examples of what I think are the three most common use cases for owning a printer: *Creative* - This one's obvious, you can create your own art or download from huge online libraries like thingiverse. I found and printed the pistol from Halo and the sense of scale you get from holding something you've only seen virtually is a cool experience. *Practical* - I designed and printed some custom mesh covers for the A/C vents at our work to keep wasps out. *Highly Customized* - I've made phone cases for myself and friends. Sure, you can get store-bought cases for less of an investment, but being able to add a personal touch is something I highly enjoy. I have an ever growing list of ideas that I can't wait to try out.
Thanks for sharing. Brilliant ideas and realisation. I love the clamp pad. The most obvious application for the printer in the workshop is the tool holder. Whether the tool holder is mounted on the wall or in a toolbox, all you need to do is alter the 3D drawing if a change is required. The added advantage of printed tool holders for a toolbox, where weight and accountability are big issues, is that you can alter the density of the holder as appropriate, and also match the profile of the tool.
I've had 3D printer for about a year, this was one of the videos i watched before it arrived. After the "honey moon" period, which was really about making it work perfectly while getting the most needed and wanted prints out, there was couple of month of not using it. But it slowly returned back. now i use it about one or twice a week, at least. Most useful prints: Holder for a keyboard so it can stand beside living room coffee table leg. Replacement knob and part of the mechanics on my toilet flush button (push button converted to pull). Vice jaw covers. I used softer plastic on the inside part to give it a bit of flex using 3D pen. Box for dimmer circuit for a cheap soldering iron so i can weld plastic. Locking mechanism for a rotating chair that connects it to the desk for simracing, also a platform for a button board to sit just beside the wheel. Loads of "chili" growing stuff... too much to list. Also sanding blocks, custom extra long thumb rest for bass guitar, adapter to connect PC fan to outlet air vent and clips for closing plastic bags.
Great stuff. I watch alot of videos and yours are awesome. Very educational and entertaining. You have great ideas and you are mitucular in your work. I use alot of your ideas in my shop. Thanx
Dear Marius. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now. You are a great inspiration for me and my children. We’re hoping to get our workshop set up next year. Thank you for doing this. Best of wishes for the new year. Grüße aus Holland 😊
Hey man, just shows with a bit of creativity what you can do with a 3D printer. One quick question, I couldn't seem to find the metal lathe adaptor design on your thingiverse, would there be any chance that you could upload the design as I would love to test it out in my college workshop. Cheers
This is some really amazing stuff. I 3D print (own a mk3 myself) and see a lot of "Here are my top 3D print" videos and if they aren't useless trinkets, they tend to be the same 5 "functional" items like a desk clamp and a cell phone stand. Your stuff is 150% useful and a lot of it is stuff I've not seen before. Granted I don't have a shop so it's mostly not useful to me, but I love to see when others use 3D printing to actually make their lives better!
Marius, I’m really glad you found shop uses for a 3D printer!! I feel the same way you did originally. All the attachments you designed and made are great! It makes me think about it again. Haven’t any of the plastic pieces broken or cracked? What is the type of plastic (filament) do you prefer using?
Finally! Someone actually printed something useful with a 3D printer! Hopefully others will follow your example as the world does not need any more tiny glow in the dark Yoda figurines.
Very cool and very well done. The ability to see a need for an object and then develop that into a set of plans and make an object from scratch is a very nice talent. Way to go.
Great work as always Marius! Im not so sure I agree with giving away designs for free that would have taken a really long time to design... Sure its really nice of you but after all of that work you should get something out of it. I dont have a 3d printer but if anyone who reads this does and downloads the files then do the right thing and make a donation.
Yup. Donating is the answer, or putting something You did up for free Yourself. Free open source might still be a strange thing for some in our fully monetized world, but opening Your whole professional world to access for people like Marius is the other half of a de-monetized world in which You can see his plans for voluntary donations (and I mean "de-monetized" in a very good way here)
manfred schmalbach I’m a Linux person and open source creator so on that side I definitely agree with you. I have heard lots of people who showcase 3D printed projects who complain that they just get asked for the files without even being polite about it.
That's a neoliberal thing I'm afraid: "Performance" used to be, in a more social-democratic or Keynesian sort of economy, the projects You finished TOGETHER, to make Your society a better place, be it mad infrastructure projects like publicly owned railway-building the European way, or be it full employment as a social virtue, or so on. Today, "performance" is what You stole Your neighbour, Your minions or Your society (in taxes for example) to brag about it Yourself as if You "earned" anything, what the ones bragging the loudest didn't, the least. That's why I brought up the open source idea with uploading Yourself - people don't even think this way these days any more.
I use my Prusa in the wood shop. It’s on a wheeled stand so that it can be moved from time to time. One problem with having a printer in the woodshop is the accumulation of wood dust in the fans where it interferes with air flow and causes temperature runout. I try to remember to occasionally blow a gentle stream of air on the delicate fan blades to keep them clean. Flow some air over wires, printed circuits, and step motors too. My printed parts use 100% fill especially if combined with metal attachment bolts or screws.
You just gave me the idea to 3D print (and then piece together with soddering, a motor, etc) a small low-powered dremel tool Not that $25 options don't exist, but... 3D printing!
After 3 years of 3d printing (both FDM and SLA) my conclusion so far: disillusioned with results, but enjoying the process. Great educational tool - 6.5/10
The best and most useful 3 D printing video on YT so far.Furthermore best organisation of a small household workshop i have ever seen .A very good example of German engineering spirit and quality. I just love the click of the spring and ball controlled dust collector slider . Fantastische Arbeit und Presentation. Vielen Dank. PS: Ein Industrie Design oder Maschinenbau Studium müsste als nächstes folgen.
Marius du coole Socke, immer wieder sehr erfrischend deine Videos 😎👍 Deine Ideen und die Umsetzung sind grandios. Danke auch fürs Bereitstellen deiner Files. Hab leider noch keinen Drucker. Kommt aber noch und dann gibts eine Spende von mir 😉
Marius you've gotten me thinking about all the little adapters and holders and fittings that a 3D printer could provide around my own home and office. Cable clips and conduits, charger mountings, custom phone and tablet cases, coin boxes, replacements for broken or cracked housings... virtually endless uses. I guess it's time to start researching 3-D printers!
Excellent video with a wealth of information and ideas. You are right, people don't usually see the 3D printer as a way to print useful items for a workshop/household etc. I'm 80 this year, a retired professional engineer with a 3D printer and a well equipped workshop. Today I have have seen a young person with exceptional practical skills and design ability. I wish you a great future and thank you for giving an old man hope for the younger generation. Ray
But with the 3D printer you could print the workshop - though it might be on the smallish size - but with a modular plan you could gradually grow it until you and your tools could fit inside.
Excellent video, excellent English, and direct to the point. Lot of action packed in short time. But above all, you are a master craftsman, and have a befitting workshop. 3D printing is incidental.
Nice! Echt geile Ideen! Ist das eigentlich schwer solche Sachen zu designen? und lohnt sich das vom Zeitaufwand? Klar ich zeichne auch mit SketchUp, aber würde mich trotzdem interessieren :3
Ja. Fantastische idéen und dazu sehr inspirierend. Übrigens: in Nordamerika (auf jeden fall im westen) sagen sie alu’uminium und auf britischenglisch wird es wie auf Deutsch ausgesprochen.
6:50 shows us a drum sander, then 7:15 uses a hand file. Fun video. I especially like how you speed up the ‘boring’ parts. Good job(s)! You’ve made some really great parts that I’d almost expect to be available at HD. But I have a Prusa i3 MK3 printer too - yay!
Some people need to realize that different people can have different perspectives on things. Be honest: not few things shown in the video can be easily done if you have a mingle-mangle of things kept from the scrap, Matthias is one of these people. Sure, some things in the video look really really cool, but I guess Matthias is just to "advanced" to pay money to get problems solved the easy way. But why blame s.o. for taking a different approach? Being an engineer I know some people don´t like to get told the downsides of their ideas, but what should you do, letting them learn it the hard way? And afterwards beeing accused for not telling your thoughts in the first place? You can see issues on some parts in this video. Should I tell? I have done that in the past and got the answer, on this and on other channels. So lets just see if these "issues" really show up.
if you ever get on reddit, check out r/functionalprint . It is full of useful stuff like this. I find it funny when I hear people say "but you can only make action figures and stuff, right?" That thought only shows a lack of imagination. I'm glad you have seen the light ;P
Please watch the whole video before writing a comment. Often questions you have are answered later in the video.
hast vergessen welches filament das ist^^ ich denke mal PLA :-) super Vid
Do you think 3-D printers are worth having in the workshop?
Ha ha ha.

@@johnknowing-zr8de Wow, speaking of "neurotic screaming"... Lighten up bro.
The American spelling and pronunciation is actually more accurate and more historically significant than the British version. The person who discovers elements gets to name them. Sir Humphry Davy, a British chemist, discovered this metal in 1808. Davy originally gave this element the name aluminum (um not ium) after the mineral alumina, whose name derive from the base alum which means “bitter salt” in Latin. This name was also documented by Davy in his book Chemical Philosophy. A separate scientist - who did NOT discover the element - decided that Davy’s spelling didn’t sound sufficiently Latin, and proposed the name aluminium(ium).
I love how everything is with actual purpose. You opened my eyes tremendously when it came to just the expectations a 3d printer can do. Not just models but actually useful stuff
Some of these are pure genius! Btw i'm using this video of evidence to my wife that I need a 3D printer!
it may work against you.. you will end up making things for your wife.. dont let her discover thingiverse.. EVER!!!!!!
Did you get the printer?
would like to know too if you got the printer xD
Buy it yourself wtf.. you’re the men you should decide by your own 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So basically you need your wife's permission to get a 3d printer?
Awesome designs!
Thanks Thomas!
Thomas and Marius, if you could make videos for machinists who have access to fully equipped machine shops it would help a lot of people out including myself. Essentially a very advanced theory series. Thomas, I have heard you say some mods would be difficult without a machine shop but lots of us do have it available and potential to integrate add and sub is too great to ignore. I just recently received a prusa mK3 and havent assembled yet because I feel I should re-machine a lot of printed parts
I agree.
Much better than yours.
Ihr wisst schon das ihr beide Deutsch könnt :P

You are proof enough that the main limitation to 3D printing is your imagination.
I’ve only been tinkering with 3D printer for a few months, but I am in awe of the sort of work you’re doing in your workshop.
Dude...you're a 3D printing monster. Some really great precision there, upholding the German way of making things. Cheers! Chris.
I've watched a bunch of 3D printer videos, but this is the best one that actually shows the endless possibilities of printing useful objects. Excellent job Marius! You've got a great mind!
The fact that you published the files says it all to me, thank you young genius !
You're a perfectionist, I've never seen a master who is so meticulous in the organization of the workshop. Every your design is so elaborate.
You had me at "skip the coil of a flexible hose".
Need to patten that one!
Very common in industry, but I like his 3d printed version's ability to change handedness
right its one of the most useful things i have ever seen i hate regular hose clamps

This guy is a damn genius. Nice work man
I've heard that a "German joke is no laughing matter!" Your brilliance just showed me why... Keep it up Marius!
3 years ago: 3D printing isn't worth it, who needs it.
Today: *a fine coating of PLA over every surface in the workshop*
Seriously though, this video is inspirational. 3D Printing is perfect for custom, individualized, small scale manufacturing and I'm happy to see you make such good use of it. Favorited this video!
That dust collection hose clamp is legit
@MichaelKingsfordGrayOver 100 people liked his comment and zero liked yours. Does that give you a hint as to whether you should think a little harder before pressing "reply" ?
@MichaelKingsfordGray What about your ad hominem directed toward Anchor Bait? I guess in your childish little mind, it's okay for you to lash out at others, but then you get all bitchy and defensive when someone calls you on it. Pathetic. I'm muting you by the way so don't bother with a reply.
I HAVE DONE A LOT OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WORK , AND MET TALENTED DESIGNERS , BUT , YOU ARE REALLY THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN ... THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Wow! For someone whose first impression of 3D printing was less than enthusiastic, you sure have designed and created some truly useful shop and tool accessories.
Keep up the great work Marius!
Hi Marius,
Only halfway through this video and I can already judge that you are very innovative and have made the best use of 3D printers. Unlike others who just print out figurines, you've actually made useful parts.
You are very skillful, keep the great work going
Incredible. Moreover, I love how everything “clicks”.
These kind of people would be good on a Mars colony. Imagine 1000 like him.
Eventually they could 3D print more, right?
Hahaha, brilliant thought mate, just as brilliant as this guy is. Love his mentality.
Some people are born engineers.
@@jacoblakies9189, doesn't mean ya can't become one though
No they will not since there ain´t no such thing. These people are practical realist. Practical realism stresses the importance of the here and now, not lunar landings or any such no non sense.These people have no time for new atheist conventions or any other non sense.
Absolutely everything in your videos "snaps together" and/or "fits perfectly"!
You sir, are an absolute Master Craftsman, hats off to you! I am 65, thinking I might get myself a 3D printer, after watching this video it's a definite "yep".
Brilliant job. Not just the video, the off-beat sarcasm or the great narration, but mostly the parts that you've created and implemented. You will most probably single-handedly cause a bit of a surge in worldwide 3D printer sales for a while!
The aluminum/aluminium aside was perfect. Loved the "WTF?!" face.
Same here, that was great
Ditto. I subscribed based upon that point alone.
That cracked me up. I am used to Americans saying it differently (not saying wrong) but that WTF face was priceless.
@@thealchemist5376 Yes, and Americans already made that correction. ;-)
@@thealchemist5376 < - - - It must be a hoot at parties! ....... He was making that face because of twits like YOU!!!
one of the highest quality videos where the young man has the main word, full of modeling knowledge and how to make it functional in real life. Videos like this should be shown on TV, not empty shows, so maybe young people around the world would better use their time and brain ... to learn something. Well done.
Marius, great video. Don't think I have seen so many useful parts from a 3D printer in one video before. Keep learning, creating and sharing. It is very much appreciated.
Brilliant, from skeptic to a maker in only 17 minutes. I l love both sides of your hobbies/pastimes...
I watched this entire video with mouth agape. Such enormous creativity. Not shown are what must be some mad CAD skills. I am mostly now thinking about all those broken plastic pieces that I can recreate to repair things....
Echoing the theme of this video, it's the first time I've seen truly useful items using 3D printing, rather than models and prototypes. Also high enough resolution not to require significant machining after "casting" in the machine.
Marcus, please repeat in print the name of your system; thanks.
He was using a prusa Mk3, awesome printers, more expensive then many entry level printers, but really worth it for the quality. Can either be bought as a kit to build yourself or fully assembled.
I enjoy seeing when 3D printing is used to create useful things. When I bought my 3D printer I decided that I would not print useless objects but only usable things that I need. I have created replacement parts for broken stuff, adapters and some tools. Both downloaded and own designs but no figurines. Your 3D printed objects are very well designed and functional. Congratulations.
Is 3D printing worth it?
Yes, you can make parts that don't exist and make replacement parts for existing equiptment.
that doesnt answer the comment. ab 50k dollar cnc machine can do the same but better but is it worth it ? depends on how much you need
@@Nick-hm9rh You can guy a pretty decent 3d printer for under $200. It's definitely worth it.
yea who would have thought! holy shit! Lol.. only an accountant would say it isn't "useful" anyone who has any type of tools can fix tons of crap with them
Oh yes and most people make things that you can make faster and cheaper with conventional metods, or make things that already exist and you can buy them for cheap.
But they proudly make this statement that IT WAS 3D PRINTED! It makes me laugh every time
ca be useful for quick fix parts, like some sort of pipe or pipe adaptor for a car or something
Took me forever to finally buy a 3D printer, the first few prints where just figurines, but then i started selling them and then once the word got out i started to print and sell things like box joint jigs with locating pins to be used with routers, drill bit sharpener guides for a dremel, a pletora of other dremel attachments. I never really charge all that much because the time i spend on these attachments I think of it as i would have anyways so i just charge cost of material X5 to cover a few reprints plus extra material. In just 2 months the printer paid itself off plus mods, plus all the filament i have used and more. I need to perfect my template for gear cutting using a router table only by riding on the bit bearings.
I have no word to describe how awesome is this. Excelent job.
Easily the best 3D printing video I have seen... Soooooooo worth it.
I've bought you a couple of things from your Amazon Wish List.
Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas Marius
Günter
Thank you very much! Merry Christmas Günter
I think you have captured the essence of 3D printing. Thank you for taking the time to share work 👍👍👍👍👍
A lot of great ideas. I like the swan neck design for the dust hose!
WayofWood I think it’s goose neck, not swan neck, but please do correct me if I’m wrong
I got into 3D printing 10 years ago, with the goal of printing usable tools, parts, etc. Now I 3D Print a lot more things than I purchase. I am glad to see videos that focus on useful 3D printing, thank you. Never could understand the people that print trinket type things, 3D printing has always been about making useful items (ever since the early 1980's).
My 3D printer is my favorite woodworking tool. You demonstrated excellent use of it. Your designs are well thought out and I can tell you've spent some time on them. We'll done!
Justin Depew man!!!! i knew i forgot some one in my comment !!!!
@@leon_mnl thanks!
Justin Depew i editted my comment,thou shalt not be forgotten anymore!!!!

There is really one way to say it.....You have captured the essence of 3D printing. Great work! Thank you for taking the time to share your talent and ideas!!
Wow those ambidextrous bridge hose clamps are brilliant. Great solve
This is an incredible video. I haven't seen so much ingenuity yet.
You've printed a huge portion of a workshop
congratulations your designs are incredible, thanks for your contribution to the community
If someone asked me 20 years ago what machine to buy to make cool stuff with I would say a metall lathe.. today I would say a 3d printer. Awesome video mate! as always.
You tell and show in such a way that it is not necessary to know the language, well done!
Those are some brilliant uses of a 3D printer. I really liked the hose clamps.
That hose clamp that jumps the coil. Holy shit I need one of those for my dryer
Great video! Would love if you made a video on your design process - software used and decisions around exact functionality of 3D printed pieces (i.e. using magnets to hold piece to vice, etc.)
It was one of the best videos about practical 3d printed parts. Great job!
Respect to your work.Not much young people use their brain like you.
I only use 3D Printing to solve problems and call it print for a purpose. Thanks for sharing
You have provided one of the most compelling videos expressing great reasons to get into 3D printing. I'm seriously considering investing now, thank you.
I am in awe of your genius! Amazing designs!
As an older woodworker who is waiting on the delivery for Christmas of my first printer, a Creality Ender 3, I just wanted to say thank you for these great ideas. It completely backs up my decision to get a printer to assist me in my woodworking and you have opened up my mind to a whole new range of thinking over and above the plans that I already had. Excellent, thank you for sharing your hard work and great thinking, I, for one, very much appreciate what you have shared, thank you, again, excellent work 11 x 👍
Brilliant. Not one single mini Warcraft figure in sight. And a great example of when a great mind and 3D printing combine.
Well, I am 53. Life is all about learning and exploring. Then applying skills you have learned to survive. This is the main purpose off anything that needs to survive. You are a prime example of someone who is currently moving in a good direction. Just build your knowledge and skills, try to get over distractions as soon as possible mate. Climbing the ladder.... people above will try to step on you, below some will try to pull you down. Focus and go for it.
This was amazing, you have very creative solutions there! Keep it up!
This man is about to go absolutely ham with ideas. Open source 3D printing is amazing. Really gets the brain going.
Sehr geil. Dafür das du erst keinen wirklichen Mehrwert gesehen hast ist über die Zeit doch viel entstanden. Aber auch das zeichnet dich aus... Man muss auch über seinen eigenen Schatten springen können. Sehr coole Sachen auf alle Fälle. Ist bestimmt die ein oder andere Stunde an Entwicklungsarbeit reingeflossen.
You have some seriously good skills with design... This is the true key to getting the most out of a 3D printer. If you can design stuff that you can think of, there's no end to how useful they can be.
Thank you for sharing your experience.
You are a bloody genius
He sure is.
This is exactly the 3D printing video I was looking for! Your designs are brilliant and show off the power of 3D printing better than all the pretty but not very practical printings of figurines. Bravo!
Just found your channel, you are amazing! Might you show us how you design your own projects to 3d print? Also your detailed planning and creative ideas, and craftsmanship are truly inspiring!
I admit 3D printing isn't for everyone, but I'm a few weeks in to owning an entry-level printer and I have no regrets. I already have examples of what I think are the three most common use cases for owning a printer:
*Creative* - This one's obvious, you can create your own art or download from huge online libraries like thingiverse. I found and printed the pistol from Halo and the sense of scale you get from holding something you've only seen virtually is a cool experience.
*Practical* - I designed and printed some custom mesh covers for the A/C vents at our work to keep wasps out.
*Highly Customized* - I've made phone cases for myself and friends. Sure, you can get store-bought cases for less of an investment, but being able to add a personal touch is something I highly enjoy.
I have an ever growing list of ideas that I can't wait to try out.
Very well thought out designs! You got me a lot closer to at least trying a 3D printer.
Dude... you TOTALLY NEED one! Great minds, think spatially, and the ability to output what's in your mind is great!
@@EcoMouseChannel Yes! Ja! (German for Yes!)
Thanks for sharing. Brilliant ideas and realisation. I love the clamp pad. The most obvious application for the printer in the workshop is the tool holder. Whether the tool holder is mounted on the wall or in a toolbox, all you need to do is alter the 3D drawing if a change is required. The added advantage of printed tool holders for a toolbox, where weight and accountability are big issues, is that you can alter the density of the holder as appropriate, and also match the profile of the tool.
Als Perfektionist macht das Video noch mehr Spaß zu schauen :D
I've had 3D printer for about a year, this was one of the videos i watched before it arrived. After the "honey moon" period, which was really about making it work perfectly while getting the most needed and wanted prints out, there was couple of month of not using it. But it slowly returned back. now i use it about one or twice a week, at least.
Most useful prints:
Holder for a keyboard so it can stand beside living room coffee table leg.
Replacement knob and part of the mechanics on my toilet flush button (push button converted to pull).
Vice jaw covers. I used softer plastic on the inside part to give it a bit of flex using 3D pen.
Box for dimmer circuit for a cheap soldering iron so i can weld plastic.
Locking mechanism for a rotating chair that connects it to the desk for simracing, also a platform for a button board to sit just beside the wheel.
Loads of "chili" growing stuff... too much to list. Also sanding blocks, custom extra long thumb rest for bass guitar, adapter to connect PC fan to outlet air vent and clips for closing plastic bags.
Great stuff. I watch alot of videos and yours are awesome. Very educational and entertaining. You have great ideas and you are mitucular in your work. I use alot of your ideas in my shop. Thanx
Those holder's for the thread die's are an absolute charm!! Seriously impressed by those
That hose clamp idea is brilliant but then all of your ideas are good.
a-LU-min-um ? AL-u-mini-um ? LOL :-)
Thanks for the entertainment!
Dear Marius. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now. You are a great inspiration for me and my children. We’re hoping to get our workshop set up next year. Thank you for doing this. Best of wishes for the new year. Grüße aus Holland 😊
Hey man, just shows with a bit of creativity what you can do with a 3D printer. One quick question, I couldn't seem to find the metal lathe adaptor design on your thingiverse, would there be any chance that you could upload the design as I would love to test it out in my college workshop. Cheers
This is some really amazing stuff. I 3D print (own a mk3 myself) and see a lot of "Here are my top 3D print" videos and if they aren't useless trinkets, they tend to be the same 5 "functional" items like a desk clamp and a cell phone stand. Your stuff is 150% useful and a lot of it is stuff I've not seen before. Granted I don't have a shop so it's mostly not useful to me, but I love to see when others use 3D printing to actually make their lives better!
Marius, I’m really glad you found shop uses for a 3D printer!! I feel the same way you did originally. All the attachments you designed and made are great! It makes me think about it again.
Haven’t any of the plastic pieces broken or cracked?
What is the type of plastic (filament) do you prefer using?
It looks like standard PLA
white parts are PETG, the rest PLA. None of my parts so far broke.
Finally! Someone actually printed something useful with a 3D printer! Hopefully others will follow your example as the world does not need any more tiny glow in the dark Yoda figurines.
@Adam Kent the irony is, your comment is pointless as well
You're right!
Now we need glow in the dark baby Yoda figurines 😁
I print big ole dicks and I ain't even gay
@@RickSanchez-lq5ow you probably slide it on yours to make it look big🙂
YOUR world doesn’t need any more glow in the dark Yoda figurines
Very cool and very well done.
The ability to see a need for an object and then develop that into a set of plans and make an object from scratch is a very nice talent. Way to go.
Great work as always Marius! Im not so sure I agree with giving away designs for free that would have taken a really long time to design... Sure its really nice of you but after all of that work you should get something out of it. I dont have a 3d printer but if anyone who reads this does and downloads the files then do the right thing and make a donation.
Yup. Donating is the answer, or putting something You did up for free Yourself.
Free open source might still be a strange thing for some in our fully monetized world, but opening Your whole professional world to access for people like Marius is the other half of a de-monetized world in which You can see his plans for voluntary donations (and I mean "de-monetized" in a very good way here)
manfred schmalbach I’m a Linux person and open source creator so on that side I definitely agree with you. I have heard lots of people who showcase 3D printed projects who complain that they just get asked for the files without even being polite about it.
That's a neoliberal thing I'm afraid: "Performance" used to be, in a more social-democratic or Keynesian sort of economy, the projects You finished TOGETHER, to make Your society a better place, be it mad infrastructure projects like publicly owned railway-building the European way, or be it full employment as a social virtue, or so on. Today, "performance" is what You stole Your neighbour, Your minions or Your society (in taxes for example) to brag about it Yourself as if You "earned" anything, what the ones bragging the loudest didn't, the least. That's why I brought up the open source idea with uploading Yourself - people don't even think this way these days any more.
I use my Prusa in the wood shop. It’s on a wheeled stand so that it can be moved from time to time. One problem with having a printer in the woodshop is the accumulation of wood dust in the fans where it interferes with air flow and causes temperature runout. I try to remember to occasionally blow a gentle stream of air on the delicate fan blades to keep them clean. Flow some air over wires, printed circuits, and step motors too. My printed parts use 100% fill especially if combined with metal attachment bolts or screws.
3D printers are *perfect* when tool manufacturers go "No! We're not gonna be compatible with everyone else because we're better than everyone else."
You just gave me the idea to 3D print (and then piece together with soddering, a motor, etc) a small low-powered dremel tool
Not that $25 options don't exist, but... 3D printing!
Cough*apple*cough*sony*cough
After 3 years of 3d printing (both FDM and SLA) my conclusion so far: disillusioned with results, but enjoying the process. Great educational tool - 6.5/10
Jab at tired source of linguistic butthurt triggers instant like 👍 XD
Same here :)
The best and most useful 3 D printing video on YT so far.Furthermore best organisation of a small household workshop i have ever seen .A very good example of German engineering spirit and quality. I just love the click of the spring and ball controlled dust collector slider . Fantastische Arbeit und Presentation. Vielen Dank.

Marius du coole Socke, immer wieder sehr erfrischend deine Videos 😎👍
Deine Ideen und die Umsetzung sind grandios.
Danke auch fürs Bereitstellen deiner Files. Hab leider noch keinen Drucker. Kommt aber noch und dann gibts eine Spende von mir 😉
Marius you've gotten me thinking about all the little adapters and holders and fittings that a 3D printer could provide around my own home and office. Cable clips and conduits, charger mountings, custom phone and tablet cases, coin boxes, replacements for broken or cracked housings... virtually endless uses. I guess it's time to start researching 3-D printers!
No bloopers... 😕
Excellent video with a wealth of information and ideas. You are right, people don't usually see the 3D printer as a way to print useful items for a workshop/household etc. I'm 80 this year, a retired professional engineer with a 3D printer and a well equipped workshop. Today I have have seen a young person with exceptional practical skills and design ability. I wish you a great future and thank you for giving an old man hope for the younger generation. Ray
Thank you, Ray.
Sometimes I wish I had the space for a 3D printer (or a workshop ;D ).
But with the 3D printer you could print the workshop - though it might be on the smallish size - but with a modular plan you could gradually grow it until you and your tools could fit inside.
Space is not an issue. One would fit next to your monitor.
Excellent video, excellent English, and direct to the point. Lot of action packed in short time. But above all, you are a master craftsman, and have a befitting workshop. 3D printing is incidental.
Nice! Echt geile Ideen! Ist das eigentlich schwer solche Sachen zu designen? und lohnt sich das vom Zeitaufwand?
Klar ich zeichne auch mit SketchUp, aber würde mich trotzdem interessieren :3
Ja. Fantastische idéen und dazu sehr inspirierend.

You’ve made some really great parts that I’d almost expect to be available at HD. But I have a Prusa i3 MK3 printer too - yay!
Matthias Wandel needs to watch this to realize a 3d printer isn’t very bad after all.
@@mrb2917 i used to admire him until I realized how much of an ass he his. He's good at what he does but I don't care much about him.
Some people need to realize that different people can have different perspectives on things. Be honest: not few things shown in the video can be easily done if you have a mingle-mangle of things kept from the scrap, Matthias is one of these people. Sure, some things in the video look really really cool, but I guess Matthias is just to "advanced" to pay money to get problems solved the easy way. But why blame s.o. for taking a different approach?
Being an engineer I know some people don´t like to get told the downsides of their ideas, but what should you do, letting them learn it the hard way? And afterwards beeing accused for not telling your thoughts in the first place? You can see issues on some parts in this video. Should I tell? I have done that in the past and got the answer, on this and on other channels. So lets just see if these "issues" really show up.
Yeah but he could build a a new life form out of wood and string so there is that.
Marius you are a true craftsman, sorry Sir I have no questions, amazed with your ability charisma and style, thank you
"aluminium"
Well done.
yep. no harder to do it right than wrong.
Glad to see you came over to the 3D printer side of the shop.
if you ever get on reddit, check out r/functionalprint . It is full of useful stuff like this. I find it funny when I hear people say "but you can only make action figures and stuff, right?" That thought only shows a lack of imagination. I'm glad you have seen the light ;P
