oh man - if I had known this was coming I would've given you a list of even more tools to try out.
Hit me up! I would love to have more models to tryout!
@@peterbrownwastaken Can do!
What's best method? UA-cam tends to eat links like a starving wolverine, after all.
Edit: I'll hit you up on twitter with a thread in the replies >.
Give us the list without the links? Pretty please?
The second you realize you can use a 3d printer to replicate parts, it becomes the most useful tool you have ever had in your workshop. Every little plastic tab, spacer, bracket, fiddly bit, etc can be replicated and fiddled with to make just what you need to fix or upgrade something. They are the most useful tools I own.
And it'll pay for itself in no time, I fixed two shark navigator vacuums, and been selling a ton of prints at work lol
Try this- put a rectangle in the slicer the size of a pen blank or a handle (you can do that without CAD or anything, you can just click "add shape"). Then, change your settings to zero top and bottom layers, and set the infill to "gyroid". Slice it and you'll see an awesome pattern exposed on two sides that you can fill with resin. You can also try setting the perimeter count to 0 to get *only* the cool infill pattern, but you'll need to put that into a mold. Changing the infill % will change how big the gyrations are so you can get other effects! Actually upon further thought... Just set top layers to 0. Then the bottom will be solid and you can pour in resin from the top to fill it up, then turn away the outside.
Holy shit. This is genius
How is your comment 8 hours old on a video that got posted an hour ago
@@solondarville1020 Patrons get early access :)
Yeah dude that's awesome. Try using sparkling pla while you're at it
I would seal the print first. Wouldn't trust layer lines to be water -or resin tight. Really interesting idea though.
Welcome to the world of 3D Printing. Glad you finally joined us. It’s so fun and as you’ve found, very useful.
I would very, very highly recommend printing the featherboard out of PETG or ASA. They are a bit more of a hassle to print since you need to keep them both dry, and you have to ventilate the area while printing ASA but PLA is quite stiff and brittle (and get's even more brittle over time). If a kickback shoud occur PETG or ASA will not shatter as quickly as PLA which is very important since there is the possibility that with PLA not only the workpiece will come flying at you but sharp fragments of the featherboard too.
PLA+ is also an option. Not quite as strong as PETG but it's less brittle than base PLA without being any fussier to print
Or even a hard TPU. Do some research on how to avoid it jamming mid print, and you'll have a part that's super impact resistant
I use polycarbonate for all my functional pieces. X1C prints it without any trouble.
Polymaker PLA PRO is also a good option. somewhere in the middle of the PLA+ and PETG qualities.
Polymers asa has no smell. Eryone's on the other hand was worse than abs.
Admit it! You have a new toy and you're trying to convince your wife it's "actually essential " 😅
Haha! She's already had me make stuff for her escape rooms parties. I've got her hooked. :)
@@peterbrownwastaken I imagine the multicolor prints AMS can do are great for that.
I'd personally b concerned with those spray cans right above your electrical panel. After all flammable items should b in a cabinet (maybe even a Flammable cabinet? )
When I got mine I immediately started printing baking tools and house decor. She letting me get my third printer now a year later. 😂
@@peterbrownwastaken Now I want to see what sort of stuff you've printed for your wife's parties.
Prints that use embedded magnets are my new favorite! Makes lids for boxes much more secure, prop assembly a breeze, and game piece functionality unforgettable.
i like the idea of embedding nuts and magnets. I need to figure out how to buy the right size nuts and magnets for the prin.
@@manp1039 just got to be careful that the magnets aren't too powerful that they jump and stick to your hotend as it flys by. It's usually good enough if you make the hole for the magnet a very tight fit
@@ecliptix1or glue them in
@@ecliptix1 super glue
Wait until you learn CAD and start making your own custom tool, that's when the superpower of printing for the workshop really happens.
I'll be interested to see how your journey goes. I use my X1C in my machine shop CONSTANTLY. My coworkers thought I was crazy thinking that it could be of any real use around the shop. "Plastic does not belong in a machine shop" they said. Here I am about 2 years later and now they're coming to me to print them jigs, work holding accessories, vise jaws etc. The one piece of knowledge I can pass on from my own experience is that ABS tends to be a better fit in a shop environment, it's not as easy and forgiving to print as PLA but it has stood up much better in my experience over time and use.
I've had a 3d printer since 2019 and its my favorite tool I own. I learned fusion 360 in a high school class before I even had a printer and being able to model my own tools/storage/replacement parts/ect. is amazingly useful, not only for myself but also friends and family. Plus the 3d printing community is very welcoming and helpful from my experience.
When I was a kid, in 1980s, we had an animated series in Poland called "Zaczarowany ołówek" (The Magic Pencil), in which the main character could draw anything he needed and it instantly popped out as real. Everyone dreamed to have a pencil like that.
And now - look!
I've been designing and printing 3D tools and objects for almost a decade, and the fact I have never seen/thought about that micro screwdriver actually upsets me. I have had to replace assemblies in my car that felt like they were specifically designed with inaccessible screws in mind, and never thought about printing my own tiny screwdriver. I just bought the smallest one I could find and got mad that it was still too big. Gonna design a little case to hold it and the bits and make a bunch as stocking stuffers for family this year. Great video!
That's a great idea, would love to see a link to that case when you're done!
If you want to get extra fancy: Embed a magnet in one end to help retain the bit.
@@ThatRobHuman that was my first thought. I love when the handle has a magnet for the bit, it is a nice touch.
Welcome to the club! You'll really want to get at least PETG for your garage items. PLA gets soft in the heat. I love printing with ASA for outdoor items. I've had a 3D printer for a long time, but just got the Bambu Lab A1 it's been the easiest click and print experience I've ever had!
Agree, use PETG to be stronger and flex without breaking.
In fairness, ten years ago was an eternity in terms of their development for home/small shop use. You had a valid point. I only have considered one recently because of John Heisz (sp?) using printed parts on his bandsaw.
I think it was really up to the person printing. 10 years ago I remember printing inserts for my vintage band saw it was like a lightbulb going off!
It's fun how Bambu Labs has become the new Sawstop. Almost every DIY/Maker creator I follow on youtube have received one of their printers in the past year, and they have started to feature more and more 3d printing in their projects/videos. I am not complaining or anything, I just find it interesting.
You didn't take ten years to come around on wanting a 3D printer, 3D printers just took 10 years to meet your minimum standards for acquiring one. Honestly, smart move. They're much faster, cheaper, efficient, and easier to program than way in the beginning. Looking forward to the videos that will come from this adventure!
The best thing about a 3D printer is not that you can make custom parts but that you can make specific sections of the parts to test the fit, a single dimension or how the shape you designed looks and works in real life. I've designed several components (and quite large, too, that means hours of printing) and very often "sliced" them to quickly check if a specific feature was working in the intended way. You'll put this printer to good use, I am sure!
I love how you call Imperial and old English measurement as “standard” ……it used to be, many years ago but then we got wise
I've got the A1 with probably 1700 hours in less than a year. It's an absolute gem of a printer.
This company was SO SAVVY with choosing Peter as the guy to sponsor; he’s got a giant army of nerds who are now SO FULL OF IDEAS they just have to make now 😄!
I'm glad you finally got past 3d printer disdain. As someone who's been printing workshop stuff for years i would 100% consider printing Gridfinity organizer stuff or some sort of organizer equipment for tool drawers/collet drawers.
I've been 3D printing for about 5 years now and got my X1C in August. It's an absolute game changer for both beginners and experienced makers. Prints that took 12 hours on my Ender 3v2 take a little over 3 hours on my X1C, the quality is better, and the only issues I've had are because of my own inexperience with it.
Once you realize that you now have the ability to design tools or parts with programs like Tinkercad, Fusion 360, Onshape, or Microsoft 3D Builder and then physically have those one of a kind custom parts in your hands in maybe an hour or two for just 2 or 3 dollars in materials, the world just opens up.
Started with 3D printing 12 years ago. Have a had a "few" over that timespan. I only have Bambulab X1C with an AMS now. The rest is sold.
This is the first 3D printer, that is a tool for my other hobbies, without being a hobby in it self :)
never stop learning, Peter and never limit your imagination. cool prints.
I'm so excited for 3D Printing Peter! I feel like you'll come up with some incredible projects! Would also love to see more of the practical/tool prints that you come across or decide to make yourself.
These last couple years have been huge for 3d printing. It went from a dedicated hobby to something anyone can do and it just works. Flexibals have also gotten wonderful. 100% layer adhesion is a game changer.
I'm currently printing my boy stuff for a busy board... it definitely does more then just trinkets.
The 2 things I like the most are the spray can handle and the idea of printing something part way, then inserting a nut or pressure fit threaded inserts!
I would have not thought of that. What a brilliant idea. I must try that!
Come to think of it, I need to design a new bezel for a Nextion display and instead of using a soldering iron to insert the nut insert, I could do the pause thing as shown here.
Thanks for that!
"One of us, one of us"
Welcome to the 3D printing club...your newest addiction!
Congrats on joining the cool kidz club! 🍻
I love my bambu printers. Speed is nice, but the main selling point for me, coming from an ender 3 pro, is reliability and print quality.
Bambu really brought 3D printing to the masses. My wife had never printed before I got her an A1 mini and she probably prints more than I do now.
Just got my Bambu Labs A1 with AMS. Bambu makes it so easy to get started! These 5 tools are great ideas for the shop. Thanks for the inspiration! That spray can handle thingy looks like the perfect thing to solve a real problem I have with rattle cans. Thanks again!!!
The little knob that holds the bit is genius. I was installing a new dishwasher in my house literally 2 days ago and that would have saved a bunch of time and frustration. I had to adjust 2 of the legs in place and the only thing i could go was pop a bit in because nothing I own would fit except that and feel around with a pair of plyers to turn it less than 1/4 at a time. It took forever and have the barked knuckles to prove it sucked lol.
You should make your own recycled filaments!! Could you do a throw back to an old school video and make it from milk bottles? Show us how to do it ourselves.
Awesome project! For the spray can handle, maybe add a stud behind the grip that will let you put a small spring on it so it isn't just flopping around when trying to put it on a can.
Wow it's wonderful to see that you have access to this expanded level of thinking of creations.
Can't wait to see some interesting projects done with the 3d printer! I got the same one last week so maybe I can follow along one day!! :D
Que the millions of "don't use PLA for functional parts" comments. ;) Happy to see another maker discover how useful 3D printing really is.
I’m currently using my Bambu lab p1s to print the windows for an advent calendar that is based off of the one on Christmas Vacation for my in laws. We watch that movie every year and they have always wanted one.
With the spray can storage, you could print half of the holders with a longer base to offset the back row cans so you can see the cap color without having to awkwardly look over the side of the cabinet to see all your options
I absolutely use my 3D printer more than I ever thought I would too. :)
Top uses for my Ender have been printing templates, replacement cut plates and the biggest....hose fitting adapters. A buck of PLA vs sometimes 10 bucks for a retail version. So worth it.
I've designed and printed a _ton_ of tool holders and organizational items for my shop and French cleats!
I had a P1S that was a lemon. I upgraded it to an X1C it's been incredible. I feel for anyone that has a Bambu printer that needs support, it is the only bad part about Bambu unless you get one for free from Bambu as a promo or review then you have a special support channel! Trust me I've been Beta testing for over a decade for companies much larger than Bambu. I've never seen anything like bambu civilian support. Hopefully they put as much time and effort into their support as they did the printers soon it could be the only thing that brings them down. Their support is atrocious at best. I was told days after getting my P1S it's my fault I didn't buy extra printers when the one I had was just days old and broken. They shift blame while they delayed accepting the printer was bad. I only purchased the X1C because I knew they were Great reliable printers the chances of getting a second Lemon was slim.
For prints you want to have some flex, use PETG, it's more flexible and less stiff than PLA.
I think I has a spool that I haven't used yet. I'll check it out.
@@peterbrownwastaken You have a whole rabbit hole of different plastics to go down now.
That spray can mount is genius. 3D printers are amazing tools :)
I would have killed for a printer back when I was working as a cabinet maker. Being able to print a broken housing for a tool i dropped on the concrete floors would have saved sooooo much time.
Wasn't aware your table saw actually worked :D I make all sorts of tools for my shop, mostly pegboard accessories.
To paraphrase SuperfastMatt's video from when he got a Bambu x1c - 3D printers have finally hit the point where they are reliable and you don't need to take up "3d printering" as a hobby to make things with them; "you can be excited about the printed things and skip the joy of tuning and fixing". You can now consider a 3D printer to be a tool for making useful things in pursuit of other ends, and no longer a toy or a project in it's own right or "the thing that makes toy boats and dragons".
Fatastically useful, Peter! Please show us more items.
Congrats, Peter! That's a fantastic tool indeed! 😃
And wait until you discover 3d printing for rc stuff! 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I was just thinking about watching you and this video popped up. So glad to see another convert. Good luck with all your endeavors! You got a great machine as your first one!
Getting this printer as your first printer is like giving someone a tesla as their first car. It's definitely on my list if printers to buy
Peter, Peter, Peter, 3D printers are Tools AND Toys
Those little knurled bit handles are awesome. I think I've printed at least 2 dozen of them because I keep giving them to people.
Ooooh Mr. Brown has a new toy! Like the proverbial kid in the candy store!
Welcome to the bright side Peter! Brian Gidney from Summers Woodworking
I got a Bambu Lab two weeks ago and I'm hooked!!
When will you start printing small objects to embed resin, or use a 3d print as a mold? I see a mini Harry Potter and Voldemort fight inside a handle or maybe a light shade (a custom nightlight?).
That's a cool idea!
Okay, as someone who watches other people make stuff, this was cool. And showed me nifty gadgets I can buy. 😄I'd love to see you print some silly, 'useless', fun stuff. (the end of the video cracked me up)
Apology accepted! Ha. Just know that PLA suffers from creep, this means it will deform over time under tensile stress/load. PETG or the newer replacement of PETG called PCTG will fix that to some extent! it's really worth it to try out because PLA is nice for models, but not that great for mechanical designs :)
Really cool to see you embrace this tech. I've always been wondering why you didn't want to get started with it and I think I might have mentioned 3D printing in a bunch of comments under your videos haha.
Oh, one more thing, keep dust out of the machine! :) I see it's in your workshop. So if you're going to do a lot of work that creates dust, a cover would be a good idea, but don't cover it while it's on!
My wife totally gave me a pass on the $1500 printer when she saw the money saved on a $0.65 wall outlet cover. Joking aside... I am continually amazed by the practical everyday uses. Go learn yourself some FreeCAD and you'll have a blast sketching your own custom whatever and printing it out.
I love my bambu x1, it’s standard issue in my opinion, I’ve only had three failures because i didn’t have support and the other was because i didn’t have glue on the build plate. But is so turn key it’s amazing
I always called the paint handle a "Finger saver" since my spray can finger isn't all sore and crampy after painting. Good Video and, yes, the Carbon as a first printer is almost cheating at 3d printing.
Gosh darn it Peter, i'm sold. This sucks now i have to find somewhere to put this.
Now you need tpu, you can make holders/straps for those straws that constantly disappear from your spray lubricant cans! Theyll connect the straw to the can so itll always be at hand.
Just wait until you go down the gridfinity rabbit hole.. It's absolutely amazing for creating tons of organization in the shop. I have screwdrivers and wrenches, sockets, etc. all set u on holders in my tool chest, being on a grid system you can rearrange and add stuff or make custom holders for wonky shaped tools. I've made holders and trays for mica and alumilite dyes, magic juice bottles, etc. I also make pen blanks and block molds too.. 3D printing is so valuable in the workshop, the possibilities are endless!
Yeah. I bought my first printer because I'm a geek and never met a gadget that I didn't like.
I had absolutely NO idea what I would do with it - but I wanted one.
Since then the ability to sketch up a tool or widget that I needed and have it in my hands within minutes has me absolutely gobsmacked. I just added an X1 Carbon to the fleet which joins a Prusa Mk4s and an FLSun Super Racer (there's that geek gene showing through). All of my printers are networked - Octoprint running on Raspberry Pis for the first two and the Bambu is a thing unto itself. I do wish that the Bambu had ethernet, though.
Ever since I got a 3D printer now I'm that guy that designs all my woodworking projects in CAD first so that I can build 3D printed Jigs and guides for drilling and routing and anything else that could help me with the build.
Great video! Welcome to the printing universe! Please consider printing the base for epoxy "stained glass". The part that you used to cut out of plywood. I think it has great potential and it makes more sense to add a little bit of plastic, then to subtract a lot of plywood
Spray Can Handles seem silly at first....till you use one, I love mine.
That was interesting. I worked at a company that printed things we needed around the company. Pretty cool ideas!
Peter has swallowed the 3D printer pill, the next step is to print a FGC-9 and add wooden handle scales to it!
One of us! One of us! One of us!
I printed nearly two dozen of those spray can holders in the same orange pla! Those things are great!
Thank you Peter, I always enjoy your videos,
Grey is looking good on you!
Those are all great tools. The spray can trigger is especially useful when painting a large surface, as the finger runs out of juice! The holders are awesome too.
I don't have a need for one, but if I did, this is the first one I've seen, that I would actually buy...
Looks very user friendly...
Great video.
Up until the Bambu series, for a shop tool I wouldve agreed on no to a printer.
The Bambu printers are phenomenal for many shop tools.
Peter, you have mentioned before your shop gets pretty hot. If that’s still the case you should consider printing functional things in something other than PLA. I personally love printing with PETG.
PLA will soften even at 80-90 degrees and PLA has what some people call creep. Overtime it will flex even if it feels solid. Stuff like the net inserts in those black parts on the table saw will eventually fail. It might take a long time but they likely will fail at some point.
PETG is cheap, way more temp resistant and as strong as PLA but much tougher in the long run and super easy to print just a bit slower.
Also for any bulk prints or bigger things I recommend aliexpress for filament. I buy 10 1kg rolls of black Petg for my little print farm for about $70 shipped and it usually only takes about a week since they ship from the US.
Would definitely recommend printing the featherboard out of PETG so it is less likely to just explode if it bites hard on kickback. PLA is very brittle, PETG can flex some
I think this video speaks to a long running problem with 3D printing: most of the prints that earn its place in the hearts of us enthusiasts are all so small and unnoticed that it's hard to even think of mentioning them when someone asks what a printer is USEFUL for.
You are the one person I have been excited about getting a 3D printer!
Soon to come, Bambu Poop Resin Projects..
I would like to see how well that featherboard manages kickback. Maybe (with the saw off) feed a board in with the featherboard and see if you can pull it back out.
A featherboard does not prevent kickback. Its purpose is to hold the piece of wood against the rip fence.
Do you think the pla is sturdy enough to make custom chucks for the lave? Because the ability to print custom chucks for a custom piece on the fly sounds amazing.
Plywood carriers on demand during hurricane season? Score! They sell out/ go missing every year without fail.
Looking good Peter Brown. I haven’t seen your videos in a few years. The salt and pepper wisdom highlights look good on you sir.
Bout time. I’ve been doing this since 2017. I make more stuff with this than I did with wood.
ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!!
3D printers are also amazing for making custom templates. If you're a perfectionist like me then you can make templates with perfect curves that are the perfect radius, or make templates to create perfectly matching shapes.
One thing I have always despised making when it comes to woodworking is anything with hexagons that fit together, because if you're off by even 0.1 of a degree, then that compounds on itself incredibly quickly. But now? I just 3D print a perfect hexagon template and never worry.
In begining of this year i purchased the BambuLab P1S and ever since ive been hooked. The printer has such a high succesrate and everything is well documented for the newbies in the bambu wiki.
Ive been really curious about the woodfilements. Maken banks with a 3D printer doesnt really make sense but maybe you could test it out and see if it could have any use in woodworking.
Also, incorporating marble fillament in a woodturning or ressin project could be fun!
I've been looking pretty hard at these printers. I'm with you, don't just want one for toys. I really like the practical side of it. I'm not great at designing, so that's a hang-up of mine. But it looks like there are A LOT of free prints out there that are really good already. Thanks for showing!
There is a cool series on UA-cam "learn fusion 360 in 30 days" I'm on lesson 8 and it's been SO HELPFUL!
@@peterbrownwastaken I'll check it out. I've tried to learn it and it just didn't stick. My wife bought I Like To Make Stuff's course on Fusion and learned it. I've been having her draw stuff up for me.
How'd you get Robert Downy Jr. to cameo at the end? That is amazing! Perks of living in California, I guess.
Just wait until you start making and using filament made from recycled PET plastic bottles. It's pretty fun.
I laughed at “standard and metric”.
The rest of us(the world) call measurements “standard and that American Nonsense”.
Peter is slowy becoming a full on maker with lasers and 3D printers, Adam Savage watch out!
Great to see you got the bambu model. Awesome machine. All my Crealitys I put in a time capsule and buried em. Ha ha
Wait till Peter Brown discovers gridfinity, all of the various printable nuts/bolts/wing nuts/washers...
Also, while makerworld is decent, I find Printables to be a better site for stl files.
Finally, skip the metal scraper that Bambu wants you to print, and instead just buy a plastic razor scraper instead as it wont scratch your print bed like the sharp Bambu one will definitely do...
Would like to see more workshop prints!
Dangit Peter!! Now I need to persuade Mrs Ken that we *need* a Bambu labs printer with the clever feed on top....
