#DIY #vanlife #3dprinting
Regarding my nose: I scraped it on some coral while swimming in Baja. Super minor injury, but face wounds tend to bleed a lot 😂
I think reusing the bottles as printing filament would be the best solution since you print so much. But fun project as always!
Amazing video... but, I do miss you wood working making videos. I'm very proud to be in this world with people like you.
I love how you end your videos. Especially having been watching a while. It’s a reminder how cool moms are. Like Kathy. Supporting her son’s dream for years and now it’s paying off! She believed in this awesome person before pretty much anyone else! ❤❤
The water bottle is not waterproof on the threads, but acts more like a cork. Tightness is ensured by the contact of the bottle rim with the bottom of the cap and the internal rim at the bottom of the cap.
Of all your builds this is definitely the strongest candidate for the channel unnecessary inventions lol...
I'm wondering, as it's sort of the topic of this video what you do with all the plastic waste that you get from failed prints, prototypes, stand offs, supports, etc. I know space to overly worry about such things is going to be tight living in a van so basically I'm wondering what you do with it all and if you bother keeping it all and recycling it etc. Is there a, way to recycle it yourself whilst on the move or what are your other options? Thanks enjoyed the video and found learning a bit more about solar showers and seeing your solution to the problem whilst on the move and waste water bottles, or at least these few bottles (every bit helps) quite interesting and informative, despite the fail.
I think it would have saved a lot of filament if you designed the tubes to be a square profile and rotated so that it can print with just a minimal amount of support. Also, welding gaps with a soldering iron is a great way to get rid of seams in a design like this. Anyways, understand that this was a design exercise and maybe others have already pointed this out.
What about recycling the PET bottles into filament?
I have a road shower I use for surfing, and it is one of the best things I've bought. It keeps a lot of pressure because it's metal and has a schraeder valve on it to pump in more pressure. Best feeling ever when you get out of the cold surf and take a hot outdoor shower.
@MorleyKert I think the point of taking on these projects is it builds experiences for making that truly useful idea. In this video, you had to approach many problems concerning water tightness, threading, and learned valuable lessons in alignment, splitting prints, and more.
A ball valve incorporated into the bottle adapters would solve your loading issue
Maybe you could make some kind of ball valve as a cap to all bottles so you can flip the bottles and screw in to place and then "turn them on"? 😊
Maybe a black ABS tube (or 4) of water as a pre-heater for the electric water heater. Fun to watch you take on problems. The brain of a maker is an interessting place to peek into! Thanks.
There is a video regarding white filament which uses titanium dioxide so not only is that not a compound you want to print indoors with it also will wear out your nozzles quicker than any of the dark colors that don't use titanium dioxide
Thanks. I need a computer desk and I am about to cut the dinning room table down to size to meet my needs. I have that, "it's a great idea, even though there are a million other better ideas." :) Makers gotta make.
Cut the bottoms off the bottles and just leave them screwed in place and fill with a bucket?? Solves the vacuum and the spillage when flipping issues. If you left enough of a lip on the cut off you could use the bottle bottoms like lids to minimise heat loss. Also I have seen videos of people stripping down plastic drinking bottles and melting it into filament that they use in their 3D printer - is that an option for all the bottles you want to recycle?
through your trials and errors i found out about the pipe tool in f360 and how i could use it to be implemented in a pyramid dice tower that i had tried to make before, unaware of the ability of the pipe i was trying loft instead but that did not work the way i needed it to and just helped me try my project again. So Thanks :D
Here could be some Updates on the design:
Hey, you had fun trying something and you were trying to figure out a way to recycle the bottles. It was worth giving it a try and you enjoyed yourself.
