Thanks for watching! I know these are some pretty random projects but hopefully you still found it fun and interesting. What's your favorite functional print and what should I make next with the flexible filaments?
theres an awesome wallet design on thingiverse. I have made them in 4 different colors. the first one lasted over a year of daily use without any major damage. i rotate them all now.
@@technodrone313 link?
TIP: buy stainless steel rods, 100mm length and 1, 2 and 3mm diameter. They make awesome pins and work really well with prints. I've used them as hinges and also as support inside vertically printed parts to make them stronger. Simple to use, drill a hole, push them in. Easy to cut with a Dremel and a cutting disc.
I found all those projects really interesting especially the mechanical one and also I am wondering did you already Release the winner to give away or are you still doing that yeah I really hope I didn’t miss anything
I think you doubted yourself in this video. Let me be the first to say that a video like this is inspiring. You found so many niche situations in which 3D printing improved your daily life. Little things add up. You are a master creator and a video like this shows that clearly. Keep moving forward!
I think in today's world the ability to do those quick fixes is going to become more and more accepted instead of "oh just buy another one". Even if I wanted to buy some music rack mount stuff it's not even in stock, so I've been cadding like a madman to get stuff organised for months haha
And the catalogue of 3D printing files online just keeps growing :D
My Logitech mouse is developing issues and my first thought was replacing the switch.
The soviets were great engineers. Built to last and buit to be repaired.
Honestly, I don't think it is acceptable to have a part on a 50$ controller break in the first place.
Although I have had a few cases where I broke/needed a part that is not available at all anymore, for example a mount on a sewing machine from the 60s. In those cases, a 3d printer is invaluable.
Louis Rossmann agrees! Or at least hopes, dreams, advocates, etc.
@@Throneos I don't know about built to last, most soviet things I owned broke down fast, very fast.
Devin is one of the most humble youtuber. I have been following this channel for a long time and its astonishing how genuine and fair this guy is. Plus he is always on point with creativity, always showing new ideas which will instantly make you think how “cool” all his creations are..
Yup
With my level of destructiveness, 3D printing will be a Ship of Theseus situation for me soon.
The proportion of things that are printed in my home keeps rising!
Planing to join the club. Been a long time coming.
8:08 Those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. We've previously seen evidence of your innate chi powers.
That's why PlayStation controllers are so popular. Very sturdy.
i made a new comfortable handle for my cane and a springy phone case that protects it from (frequent) dropping. both designs have been used by other people now and that makes me happy.
There should be an Award for the 3D designer of the year, for contributions to advance 3D printing, bring forth useful and artistic/creative designs and inspire others. You'd certainly get my vote.
love the transparency. from showing the failures and what became of it. as well as learning from older prints and making another version of it better.
It's always really satisfying designing replacement parts. That moment when everything finally just works is the greatest. When I lived in an old travel trailer, I replaced a lot of the old plastic parts like light bulb covers and the sliding mechanisms in the locking cabinets. It takes forever to find the specific part that you need and ends up costing you an arm and a leg. Then, half the time it takes several weeks for the part to even ship to you. 3D printing absolutely made my life easier that way (Plus you have to come up with some way of justifying buying a several hundred dollar machine ;) )
Me: I built a crude escapement mechanism once.
Mechanistic: Hold my beer.
i was into 3d printing for almost 5 years before i got into tpu. now i barely use rigid materials :)
Tpu master race
I'm about to start flex printing. What all do you print?
Been a fan of your channel for almost 5 years now, thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
Thanks for sharing Devin! This clearly shows the limitless possibilities for functional prints and hopefully it will inspire more makers to pick up some basic modelling skills to go with 3D printing. On that note, I am also voting for a fusion 360 tutorial series 🙂
All these examples are awesome, I'm so happy to see you back!
More, more more! Can't wait for your next functional/cool 3D prints video! 😊
My first real functional print was a replacement trigger button on an old, generic (and now out of production) bluetooth smartphone-compatible gamepad! Still working perfectly fine after about a year of regular use :D Really taught me a lot about modelling in freeCAD and getting used to the concept of manufacturing tolerances.
Fixing small things around the house that would be infeasible to repair/replace otherwise is and probably will forever be my favorite application of 3D printing.
My mother had a knife block that used a bristle insert to hold the knives rather than slots. This is nice for when your collection isn't really a set, but it has two major drawbacks. The first is that once you have a few knives in there, it becomes very difficult to insert another or even pull them out. The second is that the bristles get damaged and dirty overtime. Made her an insert that holds a ton of knives and they are easy to insert and remove
Lured in with the 3d printing and rewarded with a repair guide!
Very glad to be subscribed
God, I love the sound effects you add over the stop motion bits, so satisfying!
Awesome! like the Antikythera mechanism! Well done!
Damn
These are some cool prints
I watch a lot of 3D printing videos, you displayed awesome prints in a useful way. Great job sir
This is what makes 3d printing so fun! Fixing big or small things that wouldn't hav been able to if there wasn't 3d printers, and adding or changing to things to have totally new features
You should print tires with that tire filament
a lot of people say that "3d printing is only useful for nick-knacks, and has no practical purpose." This video is the perfect demonstration of why that's untrue.
3D printing is not for solving any particular problem(s), but rather for solving the various problems you might find in day-to-day life.
It's so cool that you have an OP-1! I love those things. Great video as usual!
AMAZING VIDEO DEVIN!!! LOVE THE INTRO.
Thanks for sharing Devin ! Great stuff 👍
"I'm not an aggressive gamer." breaks his controller from pushing on it to hard.
*twice
Boom! These are really cool! Please more videos like these. My favourite one would be the replacement for game controller. Next, make the whole controller. Lol.
Thanks for contributing to the space.
Designing and fixing things with 3d printing really is satisfying. Fixed some sandals with some flexible filament recently.
Really enjoyed this video and seeing actual useful prints! Keep on making!
So much cool stuff in this video. I’m so inspired right now!
I'm so glad UA-cam recommended this video. Great editing, great comedy, and great demonstration of the usefulness of 3D printing. Absolutely earned a subscription
I love it when a plan comes together 👌😁
Now, do a tourbillon that's print in place!
I printed a handle for my screen door! Was my first self designed part that I printed!
Great job!
The thing I keyed into in the intro was the capo on your guitar. I was expecting you to say that was 3D printed as well. That would be a good candidate for it as well.
So cool! Thanks for making this video!
Great design
Great video as always 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀
Really like the video, I think this is one of your better ones. It is something to refer to when I want to explain why 3d printing is great
Oh man. You’re the best for creating stuff. Thanks for showing.
Nice! I love using my printer to repair broken things and parts!
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm watching this with headphones repaired by 3D printed parts.
For some reason, my favorite part was the rubber chair feet 😄
The prints I appreciate the most at home are some toilet seat cover fasteners I had to design and print because it came with some unusable contraptions. There’s always some things you need to print, I love doing it 😊
Been a minute, Always love to see your videos.
Yep, I think that most people don't realize how really useful 3d printing is for "utility" parts, and parts that would take too long to get or just too expensive. So if you have a modicum of 3d software knowledge (most CAD programs are easier than one thinks) you can get a LOT printed for things around the house or for work, as you've shown.
Even though I'm an artist and have done some wonderful creative prints, the bulk of my printing has been Knobs, hooks, replacement parts etc.
The feet remote trigger was genius! My favourite functional i designed was probably my castor stoppers so I could play racing games with my chair without it moving
Helluva job as always!
Oh my gosh thank you Devin, I laughed so hard when you were doing your pull up with the one arm while pushing up on your legs, I probably replayed that 10 times! Funny
Great video!
That feeling of satisfaction when you design something, print it... AND IT WORKS!
I designed repair items for arround the house as needed.
And parts for the model rocket kits that I sell.
Thank you for inspiring me to make even more fixes.
FYI, I used TPU to make rubber feet for the launchpads I sell for my kits :D.
Nice video! This video made me realize how much I just miss printing with my filament. I've been working on my personal project lately and all my prints in the past year have been parts for it. To the point that I haven't actually "used" my printer for fun purposed. I'm gonna go print my dad a nightstand he wanted now!
Dude you are one buff gamer. I have 3 of these controllers and I've not had a single problem.
Thanks for the faceplate ideas though. I might try this.
Devin, your speech at 15:04 was spot on! I feel completely the same way. There's nothing you can't fix or create when you have the power to 3D model and print. The only limation we have is our creativity and our imagination. And well of course our knowledge and skill in 3D design but that can always be improved upon. The satisfaction from creating your own solutions is second to none, you feel so accomplished and self-sufficient. Not to mention the cost benefits, oh you sell this 3rd party accessory for $50? let me just model my own and print it for $1.50 in material! See my reply to your question in the video.
My favorite functional print?
So initially the power supply brick for my 1440p monitor was attached under my desk using cable zip tie mounts and zip ties as I'm really into cable management. For weeks, the power supply kept falling down after extensive use on my computer. I tried using more mounts and zip ties and the issue still prevailed. Then I tried using heavy-duty double-sided tape. Much to my dismay and shock, it still kept falling! Now the power supply brick isn't very heavy at all but I suspected that it just gets really hot, so it must loosen the glue on the mount and tape. I looked for brackets online but they are either too large, too expensive, and many of them are one size fits all solutions. I wanted a solution that was designed specifically for my power supply brick. Thus, in true Make Anything fashion I designed and modeled my own bracket and printed it on my Ender 3 Pro. It came out perfectly and utilizes a threaded screw already located on the back of the desk to be mounted. This solution has worked beautifully and my power supply has yet to fall, and I suspect that it will never again. :D
So I just want to say thank you for inspiring me and countless of other creators Devin. I love your channel and your work is amazing. Stay awesome.
Yes, inconveniences be gone! :D Hopefully the power supply doesn't get too warm and deform the print (if PLA). I could actually use something similar
@@make.anything Ok, so, update to this... I think you were right, however, my design was flawed as well. A couple of months into its use the hooks actually broke. I used a hook design (it looks like an uppercase J from the side) in which the power supply slipped into the hooks and it was held onto the desk with a threaded screw. To save material I only used three hooks and they weren't very thick, probably a couple of millimeters in width. I updated the design to be one long complete hook that travels the length of the power supply and it's holding up much better now. Sometimes cutting corners isn't worth it...
You Sir, Dude are an absolute inspiration, thank you!
Love this series. More more more!
When you drilled that wall, and the drill fell into the wall fast, i had a little chuckle ... and thought, im glad im not the only one thats done that HaHa!
That's my life, designing and printing parts to replace little things that break everywhere.
The SD card guide is dope!
Great video! The most useful things I found were rubber feet -- I printed some with PETG for my chair, but they don't work as well as I have hoped; and handlebar grips -- I need a pair my bicycle. I have direct extruder, I should get some flexible filament.
Incidentally, one thing that I solved with the 3d printer is pins -- when designing a model, just shave off about 0.5 mm at the bottom of the pin so it's printable and the layers are lengthwise.
Print it with PLA or PETG. A few of 'temporary' pins like that have been working for years.
You're teasing us with those filaments we can't get yet 😂 Both those rubber filaments looks really useful.
Most of my printing (*ahem*, well apart from printer modifications!) has been useful bits and bobs around the place - all those one-off pieces that you either can't buy, or are variations that fit what I want to do better than what's available. Even simple things like boxes or holders - instead of buying off-the-shelf size things that don't fit well - simply model my own that fits stuff perfectly; nice!
Awaiting the arrival of my first printer (Ender 3 S1). Thanks for the inspiration!👍
I tried to make very similar thumbstick covers for my oculus quest 2, while I was working on them my controller covers came in and came with thumbstick covers, I didn't even know they existed but I guess that saved me from having to do any more work on the design!
Dude he’s like the enigma of the kind of 3D printing chad that we all want to be. He repairs everything and it works perfectly and it’s all so creative
You are the person that inspired me to buy an Ender 3
You might be the only person who has broken a controller that way, but still pretty cool that you made a fix that works for you!
The amount of content in this one video alone….. wow…. Awesome job and thank you! Though I’m 2 years too late to this one
Rewatching your videos and this might be your best video ever
Dude this video is awesome, that's what 3d printing is all about, taking bad energizing engineering and making it more durable or better. You are a very smart young man. I really want to learn fusion 360 so that i can do stuff like this but i just find it so complicated but i think if i watched enough videos i could probably figure it out. 3d printing is fun already just going to thingiverse and downloading and printing parts, but even more rewarding is actually designing or creating your own parts and printing them. Nothing gives a better understanding than creating your own parts by actually designing them.
No wonder you destruct everything. Look at the size of those dumbbells you work out with!
Wonderful, Thank you very much !
As soon as I saw that rubber filament I had to search for it! Still not available, but here's hoping it will be soon!! It looked great
Great video, thanks for sharing
Loved your ideas!! thanks for sharing, any experience with resin printing?
Just bought the Creality Halot One and wish I did a bit more homework on this before I committed...
🤦♂️
This was an awesome video. I can't to experiment with my printer. Thank you for sharing.
16:27 You are a true menace! A one man wrecking ball. 😆
Thanks for all your videos it really helps me decide what to get and what to print. Have you ever made a replacement shell for a Nintendo N64 console? or anything like that? I am looking for a project to reshell my old N64 and I have a FLSUN QQ-S Pro printer.
Definitely, the HDD storage that I designed and kept close to my desktop is the print my eye keeps revisiting.
My best functional print that also looks like a factory part was a vent air intake for my camper for use with an air heater.
I have never owned a 3D printer in my life. And I’ve been watching every single one of your videos. Lol. I need to come up on a 3D printer now.
You have the most amazing content! Love it.
16:25 This reminds me of my box fan. It has 2 feet that keep it from tipping over and over heating but one of them broke. So I used the other one to measure and make an exact duplicate in MoI3D, then I printed it. Of course the working foot then got lost so I printed one to replace that too.
Now this is just the kind of video I love
Nice projects- Great job :)
I bought a used 14" raised platform bed frame and it was missing a corner leg. I used Tinker Cad to model a new leg that didn't require any bolts as it was a corner. I also designed some leg extensions to raise the frame an additional 2" for more storage clearance underneath. Eventually I bought a new 18" frame and gave the 14" frame away but it still works great and is sturdy.
In November of 2017 you made a video about 3D printed fabric. There's another way to do that which doesn't involve mechanically linking the tiles with the plastic. One guy used a layer of cloth or fine netting in the middle of the print. He let half the thickness of the tiles or scales print, laid down the cloth/netting, and let the other half of the tile print. This sandwiched the fabric/net permanently into the tiles or scales and still made for a flexible printed scale armor that was still flat on the inside so it was comfortable to wear but could still be three dimensional on the outside, like spiked shoulder pauldrons, or something like Aquaman's fish scale armor.
Regarding the Mint Green rubber filament in this video, if they made it in black it would be great for printing RC car tires, or maybe even flexible and shock absorbing but still protective cell phone cases. Use that black tire filament closest to the phone, then the softer rubber filament around that kinda like the Otterbox Defender cases.
Very inspiring!
You sir do some really great designs 👍
I just want you to know, you sir, are doing this whole 3D printing this correctly. You’ve designed and printed so any fixes and upgrades to daily or frequently used things. The way you are using your printers is how I strive to use mine
This is exactly how I use my printer, always engineering a solution to a completely random problem. Although I'm probably less destructive as you Devin 😂
This is really awesome! I just recently bought my 3D printer (Ender 3 V2) and so far I have just been printing cute little objects from thingiverse, but definitely looking forward to learning and getting into actually designing things myself! Loved your video!
I've printed retainers and rear washer nozzle for my Fiat. The last one was nowhere to be found.
Hi, great video. Thank you for the inspiration. I’m about to buy a used Robo R1 printer for my 14 yrs old son who wants to become an engineer. What software should he be learning to create stuff in? (3d printing will be new for both of us)
I am mainly printing a boardgame inserts. That is very practical for me.
Cool opening sequence
I love 3d printing functional parts in a few ways. I'm a mechanical engineer and quite a master in Catia V5 design skills. So i can make any adapter/mount i need, and for sturdyness in can eiter print it as is,
Or embed steel wire/parts mid print (print the channel, pause print, insert the steel fully into the open channel and resume print to fill on top of the channel - this makes a steel part totally inside the plastic. Useful for mounts where i need a thin wall to be screwed.. i embed a washer in that wall. Also useful for embedding magnets
Also another reinforcement can be done with epoxy. Print a shell of the part and fill it with epoxy.
Or for flexible materials (that need to be sturdy and without layers or heat resistant) you can 3dprint a mould for a casting. Casting silicone or urethane or epoxy will give the final part totally in that material of choice (be aware of proper mold release agent or it will be very hard to release the part from the mould). Or print the mould from a filament that is disolvable in a solvent (PVAB support fillament with water, or ABS disolved by acetone, or others) where the solvent does not also disolve the casting material (silicone, latex, urethane, epoxy, other). ABS moulds work ok for me since the ABS is smoothed by acetone vapor and make a smooth surface for a mould. Otherwise the mould would need extensive postprocess to smooth out all the layer lines, or just fill with bondo then smooth out then paint with something glossy for a smooth mould.
For the more diy-ers that have lots of tools and space to do forging and castings of metals, the plastic part can be the positive form for the sand casting mould for an aluminium cast or even steel (but i doubt many of you have a furnace at all, and even harder to get a blast furnace for cast iron or cast steel that is way above even serious workshops).
For the jewlers, the 3dprinted part can cast a wax model and that is making the mould of the lost wax casting of gold and silver (or other). Some do the lost PLA method but is not a great idea for small parts. - but the resolution of FDM is not great for jewlery, but resin printers are great for making either the model itself or mould for small jewlery cast.
There is also silicone mould making by pouring silicone around the part (the 3d printed model) and later split that silicone to remove the model and get a silicone mould that can cast epoxy and other materials with great details.
Also in the 3dprinted mould category i can mention dies for shaping metal plates in a press, or making a split mould that is covered by carbon fiber mesh (or fiberglass mesh) and resin impregnated and when you close the mould you can shape that carbon fiber part precisely.
All mentioned are a derivative of the industrial process, but the models/moulds/dies are very expensive to do traditionally (now there is also CNC to make cheaper parts but way more expensive than 3dprinting). So a 3d printer gives me acces to all sorts of processes that are very hard to do without a means to make a model. In the older days a wooden model was made block by block, glued and sanded, and sculpted for each draft angle needed, and other stuff and could not have a very complex split line of the mould. A plastic mould if it can contain the casting material can be as complex you need, with multiple part lines, cores, features to align the moulds and all sort of stuff done in a CAD software.
I once fixed a joy con that wasn't locking in on the switch rail anymore. That Part was 8x7x5mm big. Proud of that print to this Day.
Awsome! I've always been a fan of compliment mechanisms but haven't made any of my own. I've moved recently and have decided to change filament providers. There was no problem with the Sunlu pla I was using, but the problem that has plagued 3D printing from its start. Non-recyclable plastic spools! I found some cardboard Polymaker Polyterra spools on Amazon and I am going to try them soon. Any creative ways to reuse old spools?
a small plastic part of the handle for my freezer broke. replacements cost >$200 dollars, and you had to buy the whole set, including new handles for the refrigerator doors too. i designed a replacement in f360, and it only took 2 iterations before I had a perfect fit. just like that, i had offset more than 1/4 the cost of my mk3s, and it took me less than a day.
I would love to see the process of you making the part's. I know you said it was many tests and prototypes and I think that's why I want to see it.
Great ideas. In my opinion you are a genius
I made a push tab for a water cooler at work when the cold water tab broke. A few years later, when the hot tab broke on the same system, I had a design ready to go. A water dispenser that would have only lasted 3 years has been going strong for 7+ years thanks to my part.
That's a perfect example!
