I love how he thinks about multiple concerns with his designs, even if its very unlikely that someone will encounters that problem, he still has it solvrd.
Kool the remastered zip tie, love it when people re-think useful stuff and adapt it for 3D printing... Makes it worth having a 3D printer actually ;) thanks
FWIW, hair ties are my go-to replacements for rubber bands, as they are *much* stronger and don't deteriorate *nearly* as much over time. Just make sure not to get the ones with metal bands; you don't want rust to be an issue down the road.
Subbed. I saw the check valve vid first. The cross-discipline knowledge, great ideas, dedication to a project, skill and humour could eventually put you in the realm of the Stuff Made Here channel. I cant wait to see what comes next!
Came on the recommendation of NODE, and love what you are doing. I love that you are Sharing your Intellectual Property for free. Keep up the awsome work.
@@TurboSunShine N-O-D-E as in the youtube channel. He recommended your channel. I would say that he is right on the money, this is a fantastic channel, and I hope you keep it up.
2:39: Since you're a compliance mechanism expert, maybe the center post (that digs into the filament) could be compliant to allow removing the zip tie?
Hi Sunshine, I have had issues with the zip tie. I printed the sizing chart no problem - but when I print the zip ties the holes never are large enough. I did not change any settings between prints, and tested both the sizing chart and the zip tie piece with the same filament. I even went to the largest size, I'm not sure the STLs are correct. I successfully printed your inline - 3 cylinder engine without a problem so my printer is tuned.
I printed the sizing block and tried Ninjaflex and Cheetah and they both didn't grip and just slipped through the holes. Is your filament grippy / rubbery?
It's a cool Idea, but seems a bit wasteful. You can buy one time use zip ties for at less than 1 cent each, and reusable at 5 cents. If produced in bulk, your design might be better than the current design tho, and it does give you much more control over the length of zip ties, which is cool. A slight disclaimer; I'm not a printer, so I might be missing the point entirely ;)
even better idea is to not 3d print the lock that goes with the rubber band...and just use the rubber band itself to use it for what it was designed for in the first place...
Just buy a big of quality zipties. You want something removable? Buy a roll of thin velcro. Problem solved and you're not dicking around printing this stuff. 3D printers are great for making useful tools but this just doesn't make any sense.
I LOVE your zip tie idea! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Joel! :D
You could use cheap weed eater line which can be bought just about any where. That way you can save your filament for actually 3D printing objects.
My 3d printer didn't like that
@@JackHansonXJ-Man1x5PeaceX I think you didn't understand his comment
@@ParodieHecker-mobile Heheheh.. I was thinking along the same lines. Weedeater line is pretty tough, too.

Same here
That fillamet looks like spaghetti
I want it
Very useful and easy design. Well done. I really don't understand why you don't have more subscribers!!
Thank you! :)
Came from Thingiverse. Awesome ideas, thank you for sharing! =)
Thank you! :)
We want more Mr.Caliper, love you Cal!

Your designs are so clever! Thank you for sharing the files :)
I subscribed for the talking calipers. :)
This is very innovative great work
Great Ideas, thanks for sharing with the community!
The scaled one make my wonder if can be used with rope, i mean how resistent and useful could be

Very good ideas, many thanks for sharing.
Have fun and stay safe,
Joe
Excellent idea and great design - thank so much for sharing this idea!
Thank you! Hope you get some good use out of them :)
very smart .. imagine when we are able to print with metallic filament .. think of the actual print in place functional things you will think up :)
I'd use some weed-wacker line. This stuff is super tough and super cheap.
The calliper talk was cringe but i love it lol
whats the best TPU filament? I have usually been buying eSun PLA+
Great idea. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thank you! :)
cool! whare are you from?
nice but bying 100pieces for 2 bucks is quite cheaper and cleverer to buy?
is this guy german? kinda looks like it
if so, grüß dich my friend, guter channel
integrate this with zip tie domes
Smart guy! :)
i'm gonna use these to hold up a portable battery for my quest. if this fails i'm suing! jk

These are more slip ties than zip ties.
WHY?!?
Or, go to Walmart, buy 100 zip tires for $2.
but then you have to go to walmart
