5 Cool Teardrop Upgrades | 3D Print Your Own Parts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ส.ค. 2024
- After a year and a half enjoying our teardrop camper, we decided it’s time to make some upgrades. In this episode we show 5 easy upgrades we made to our trailer. We also experiment with 3D printing some really cool add-ons and replacement parts for the Camp EZ teardrop. Whether you’re in a teardrop camper, camper van, RV, or travel trailer, 3D printing can be a useful tool for making your own parts and accessories. We may even do a future how to video on 3D printing.

I’m sitting outside on my lunch break watching this and what drives by but a bright green keep the exact color you are working with. I definitely think you need one to pull the Camp EZ!
How cool!
That is the coolest soap dispenser ever👍😎
Great job using that 3D Printer. That green cooler was meant to be in your camper. Glad to have found your channel. Will keep an eye out for future notifications. 👍#407
I’m glad you found us!
Beautiful teardrop camper, love it brother 👍👍👍👍👍
Make sure your filament material is alright for the temperature. My buddy printed out a sun visor for his fish finder on his boat and when winter came, the temperature made it crack. Always research or test what it can handle to save some headaches down the line. I haven’t had my printer working in a while, my extruder clogs before it prints. Should have got an ender 3 instead of the cheapest thing on amazon. Oh well. Happy camping!
Good advice! Thank you!
Welcome to this hobby, I've been 3d printing and designing since before the pandemic . Over the past year I have made many parts for my squaredrop.
Great drone shots of the winter landscape...a few of US subs we have winter drone shots which are great but think these are the best, I think plus the fact I didn’t realise Tennessee has snow but there you go, live and learn...seriously best drone shots loved the compilation 👍
Thank you so much!
That’s amazing 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow that's cool. Great information!! 👍 Thanks for sharing this. 😀
My pleasure!!
Another great vid!
Thank you sir!
Love this! So cool! I'm researching a new teardrop build and I'm loving your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and commenting! Good luck on your build!
Great stuff, Michael. Beautiful drone footage, too!
Thank you Brook!
Love the soap bottle! Great channel, thanks
The soap bottle was perfect for the space. It worked out great!
Brilliant content. I learnt a lot👍
Great!!
The things you made with your 3-D printer are amazing! I love all the green accents ... the cooler was also such a great find! Your phone holder turned out nicely customized with the Apple logo.
I also liked your drone footage of the snowy hills. It looks like Tennessee had some snow this year.
I hope you and Joanna are doing well - take care and God bless! ~ Maria
We’ve had a few light snowfalls this year. My wife really likes them.
@@CampandCamera - snow does leave a really peaceful, quiet look to the world. We’re expecting around 6 - 9” by tomorrow on top of about a foot from the last one. It’s our brightness on all these gray, cloudy days.
Ps. Your background music is great with this video. 😊 ~ Maria
I’m so excited that you found a green cooler.
The blue one was really out of place!
Looks like a fun new tool. :)
It really is, especially during the winter.
Great video as always, 3d printing is amazing , I have even printed parts to fix the washing machine lol, thanks for another great video 👍 👍
Well, that’s handy! I’m gonna remember that.
I can't wait for spring time to try out my square drop I just finished in October
You’re gonna love it!!
WHAT THE HECK! Is there anything you can’t do!? What a great video, so inspiring but a little intimidating too. Thanks buddy.👍🏼☮️
Lol! I’m a Jack of all trades!
Hey man. Really nice to see your videos. Hello from Russia!
Hello, and welcome to the channel!
Thanks for breaking down 3D printing and making it sound approachable! Really useful tool! Very “green” to use it to fix missing parts, too! (Green joke)
Lol! Love the green joke! I’m still feeling my way through 3D printing, but it sure is fun learning.
you just convinced me to get a 3D printer...and to subscribe 😁
Great!
Very cool. I hope you'll do a review on the new cooler and mattress after you've tried them out.
I certainly will. Stay tuned!
Nice vid, like someone already said beware of mold developing under your mattress because of lack of ventilation. I recently bought something called Den Dry that helps with air flow under the mattress.
You should check out the Froli Systems "snap-together" RV ventilation and mattress foundation. You might even be able to print out the snap-together springs.
That would be a good project!
Whether you make it or buy it, getting a mesh base under the mattress will allow moisture to escape and avoid developing mold and mildew. Mattresses on plywood will ultimately develop problems.
@@brucefay5126 Thanks for the tip. We certainly don’t want mold!!
@@CampandCamera I've got one of the Froli sleep systems under the bed in my camper. they have made a 4 inch foam mattress extra comfy. with the mattress in the box that you have installed it probably wouldn't be necessary as they are designed to go on a flat base bed. what you don't see with the mattress in a box which we have at home is that they have the springs built in that provide some airflow at the base of the bed. please keep the awesome content coming.
Sweet!
Another fine video Michael. You & your geekness is going to cost me. I would love to have a 3D printer. May be one in my future.
It’s a bunch of fun! I’m printing something as we speak!
Hey man, great content as always. Just a little fyi about camping with memory foam. Dont know if you camp in winter at all but memory foam freezes as solid as a rock in winter. You would need to pre heat trailer to make the mattress usable. Keep up the great vids man.
Great advice! Thank you!!
Nice upgrades. One of the very first teardrop campers I ever saw was able to turn the entire wall with the mounted TV inside to the back part on the outside where the kitchen is so you can watch TV outside as well. I have never seen another one like that and i cannot find the video. Have you ever seen anything like that and do you know what I am talking about? I was super impressed and want to make one like that. Then I saw how people are just making a cutout in the side of the teardrop and storing a TV inside there that comes out on a swivel but the only problem is that you don't get that big of a TV screen doing it that way.
I think it’s a lot more effective to buy drawer pulls. You’ll probably be able to get steel pulls a lot stronger for less money.
But they won’t be green and look like these.
@@CampandCamera u right! Cool printer for sure!
And I motorcycle! I knew i liked your channel.
Riding when not camping!
Funny you mention "looks like weed eater line". There have been some experiments with printing using weed eater line that were fairly successful.
No way! It would be handy to run out to the department store to pick up filament in the lawn and garden section!
I guess I will have to add a 3D printer to my wish list.
If I ever build a teardrop, I'm going to find a good mattress 1st. Then build trailer big enough to fit the mattress. I had the toughest time finding something that fit & was comfortable. I ended up getting a spring mattress from "Love my mattress", custom fit to size. It came in a package just like a burrito in a plastic wrapper. It very nice, but not budget friendly. Hence, buy mattress 1st, then design trailer.
Hi Mike. Great vid as always. I have got my lad to design me some extension "pods" to mount the exterior lighting (we are in the UK and still have to jump through euro hoops on lighting positions despite having left). He's usually building robots with it although it's pretty useful for rc plane bits too.
That sounds great! That’s a good use for one.
You can even print entire airframes (check out flitetest). Yet to do it myself but I am a bit wrapped up in the teardrop build at the moment.
I made custom vents for my campers heater air inlets. Tool 15 minutes to design and let it print overnight
I’d like to see those.
@@CampandCamera sorry took a while to respond. How do I send you images? I can send you the STL files too if you want. Needs to be printed using PETG as PLA will just melt and deform
Sweet! I can take STL files at campandcamera@gmail.com
Love it! Will you be putting a hypervent underlay under the new mattress?
I hadn’t thought of doing that, but it sounds like a great idea!
try ASA filament for better UV resistance and durability
That’s one thing I did not buy a 3-D printer I might have to check this out what do you recommend do you have a link 🤔
I have a Creality Ender 3 V2 and am quite happy with it. However, I’ve been hearing that the new Voxelab Aquila is a clone and does good work. It’s on Amazon for $170.
I put a double din stereo in my Jeep TJ this week and needed a new center console to fit it and the new console doesnt have the built in ashtray. Hit up thingiverse and a guy had a file for replacement storage for that spot. I dont have 3d printer but found a guy local who did and was kind enough to do it.
What is your printer and would you buy again or if you could what one would you get instead?
I have a Creality Ender 3 V2. I like it pretty well, but have added a couple upgrade parts like stiffer build plate springs and a better glass build plate. I’d buy it again.
Waiting to see someone extend inside accessible storage above front battery/storage box, convert to 24 or 36 volt, add an inside toilet with a sewage tank, and have a pop up hard top for headroom on a teardrop.
I showed a similar camper in one of my June 2020 videos.
Can you make a recommendation for a 3-D printer?
I’m using a Creality Ender 3 V2 and really like it. From what I read, it’s a good beginner printer. As with any, you’ll still have to learn the nuances of temperatures, PLA brands, etc, but I feel this model gave me a head start.
Sorry, got it
Should have made the phone holder green
I considered it.
Hey, I can’t find the 3D designs site that you refer to in this video. Has it gone, do you know?
Thingiverse is still there. I just checked.
How expensive is the filament? Did you figure how much it cost for each handle, the soap dispenser?
The filament usually costs around $20-$25 / roll. I haven’t figured it up, but I could build a bunch of handles from one roll.
What 3D printer do you use
Creality Ender 3 V2
What's the brand and model on your 3D printer?
It’s a Creality Ender 3 V2
Do you have a link to the 3D printer?
It’s a Creality Ender 3 V2
@@CampandCamera thank you, you have a great channel👊
Thank you!
I have to say I'm disappointed in you... BLACK phone holder, what are you a savage? lol looks like that 3d printer really helped snazz up the trailer good job
Lol! I had a momentary lapse of judgement.
@@CampandCamera Obviously lol
