- 👉 👉 👉 So you've got a 3D printer, and the first thing you ask yourself is: What should I print now?
For sure, you'll go through your printer upgrades phase, printing out at least a kilo of tchotchkes and trinkets that may or may not actually improve your 3D printer or your 3D printing workflow.
But, then what? Well, then you'll probably go through your trendy 3d prints phase where you'll print the same silly stuff we've all printed before. Articulated octopuses, fidget toys, benchies, and on and on. But eventually one of two things will happen. Either you'll get sick of printing stuff that doesn't actually have a purpose, or your wife or significant other will get sick of a bunch of useless plastic crap kicking around your house.
What to do? Well, fortunately in this video I'm going to share with you some of my absolute favorite, most useful 3D prints. Yes. Actual functional, useful 3D prints that solve real problems for you and your family. So practical, even your wife or significant other will have to agree that buying another printer is a good idea after all.
Stick around to the end because I think you'll be very surprised at some of the things that you can actually print.

The Gridfinity has you now. There is no escape. Your entire life will soon nestle into 42x42x7mm units.
LOL true. Also, a little star-struck that you watched one of my vids. Huge fan, as you know :)
True story Zack!
The Zack Man himself!!!
We must all standardize 42x42x7mm 3d designs!
🤣
I have been 3d printing for over four years and have never printed a benchy. Ninety % of everything I print is a repair part, a tool , replacement item, or equipment I want or need. 3d printing has saved me hundreds of dollars in tools and less frustration in finding a solution to a problem. Great video by the way.
Same! And honestly I don't understand why people buy a printer and then say "what do I print now?". I mean, it's like buying a car without really having to go anywhere.
I just started a month ago. I haven't printed a benchy yet. I wanna see how long I can go. Idk why, but the thought of a benchy makes me mad lol. It's literally the first thing everyone prints when they get a printer. But I get it. It's a tester.
Yea I always thought it was quicker to perfect a small print rather than wait forever for a benchy.
If you’ve never printed a benchy then you’re not a real 3D printer king. 💁
Been printing about 6 years and only just printed my first benchy last week. I wouldn't have bothered normally, but a 14 min benchy seemed too good to pass up.
Definitely another one of these focusing on tool storage please!
One little bit of constructive criticism (and this is purely my own personal opinion) - I'd prefer a shift (maybe 10-30% more) toward dynamic b-roll footage of whatever you're talking about, and/or making more use of your standing-in-front-of-the-camera time to physically show us stuff. Everything you're saying is relevant and interesting, and there's nothing wrong with your face (or hair!), it's just about whether the visuals are adding value to the content of any given segment.
As a point of reference, I think you nailed the balance in your previous video about the camera mount :) For a new channel you're doing great! Keep it up and I reckon it's only a matter of time before your subscriber count starts soaring.
This is fantastic feedback, THANK YOU! I’m coming from the education space where I teach on camera, but you’re right! More B roll, less face! Thank goodness I have the Jib now to make that easier (most of this was recorded before it was done)
@@thenextlayer Zack Freedman did a really good video on this actually - worth a watch
That really did not bother me much but that may be just me. I tend to multitask a lot and run videos in the background. As the verbal descriptions were quite good, I did not feel that I was missing anything by not watching the video the whole time. When there were things presented that I wished to see, I just switched to the video tab and backed up a bit to watch for the details. I very much appreciate the chapter markings. They make it really convenient to find specific sections that I would like to study more closely.
Can confirm, the repkord system is truly awesome. I personally am quite tall so I hung it right up next to the ceiling, high enough that it is totally out of the way but I can still easily reach it all. (4) 10 foot sticks of 1/2" EMT ran me like $30, plus 6 wall cleats and 6 brackets. The perfectly sorted by material and color rainbow of filament is so satisfying.
I wish I had the room... instead I put the Honeycomb system on my wall for storing video gear :)
I skipped right to robotsn😅
have you encountered moisture issues since setting this up?
My S/O has actually liked 2 things I printed for her. One was a wicker basket style pen holder for her desk at work. I also printed new shower curtain holders since ours were not very good or nice looking. I also noticed she really likes the marble white filament a lot. I made a corner Apple TV holder and that was the first time she even raised her eyebrows at any print I did. I also made a remote holder that goes on the bed so that we don’t lose the remotes which happens almost daily before I had the holders.
L
Ll

Should print her a dild0 then..she would probably love that :]
How much did it cost to print the shower curtain holders?
I actually suggested shelf supports to my wife yesterday but she does not want plastic on her new kitchen walls. We will see how those silly floating shelf supports hold up.
I also have been waiting years to get a 3d printer to finally fix the kitchen trash can so the peddle will work again.
That can cost almost $100!
One of the first things I printed was a door stopper that fits on the hinge pin of the pantry door as it was bumping the new oven's knobs and turning the on stove whenever you opened the door.
Even though the hardware store is only 2mins down the road it was a holiday weekend and company was coming so it was faster to print something
I also just got an overpriced Cricut for my wife and I ended up making all the labels for the Christmas decorations.
This video is so on point.
Lol,the kitchen trash can Paddle was one of the first things i repaired when i got my 3D printer. Those things are meant to break - with only 50gr of plastics it could have lived forever, but the manufacturers decide to make those things flimsy..
This was the perfect video for me. I know there is a lot for me to learn and just to realize with the functionality of my 3d printer but this video really raised the scale up another notch. Great job and you earned yourself another fan today!
wow, thank you so much! This is a HUGE compliment
If you’re gonna make functional parts using vase mode, try a 1mm nozzle for maximum wall thickness and therefore much better strength/durability.
Yup! I do this.
Excellent video and very informative! I've been 3d printing for 4 to 5 months with my ender 3 pro and recently added an ender 3 max. I love seeing all the practical prints I can do outside of my model railroading related prints.
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss my upcoming videos, you're gonna like them...
@@thenextlayer beat you to it, I already subscribed lol
A trashcan was one of my first functional prints with my first printer! I was sharing an office with a guy who just left the wrappers from his tea bags on top of the water cooler every day! So I maxed out the print volume on my little tronxy X1 and printed a tiny 3 litre trash can.
NICE!
Should have collected the wrappers and put them on his desk. 🤪
Yeah Sneaks' arm is not without flaws, but it's working OK for me so far. I didn't try to use the printed fasteners, but instead used Adrian Carpenter's remix for 6mm metal hardware. IMO the biggest flaw is the rounded corners which I haven't been able to get to print super cleanly with PETG. Chamfers and angles would have been better there.
Hmm ok that's smart. They're sturdy?
@@thenextlayer Yeah they work fine so far. They are printed covers for the bolt and nut heads, so it looks like you are using the printed ones. Only downside is they add weight. Would be good if I could find some aluminum hardware that would fit.
This is a great format for discovering new 3D printing projects. I look forward to seeing more videos like this 👍
On it!
Great video! I’m always looking for useful 3D prints but they usually show the same things. What you figured out its a very interesting twist to approach creative use of existing design. Keep doing great videos! You earned yourself new sub
Thanks :)
I'm only getting into 3D Printing bc my wife bought me one for Christmas just gone. Hell of a learning curve, especially as it's a resin one, but loving it. The second you mentioned drawers, my brain immediately went to my garage where all my Ryobi Battery packs live. No matter how neat I try to keep them, every time I open their drawer, they are messed up (thanks again Wifey). Going to make some dividers so only the right batteries go in the right spot!!! What DEMON would put an 18V battery next to a 36V one, so there is no room left??? :)
Currently living in Korea where they have to separate their compost in a special red bag. Here, most people keep it in the freezer so that it doesn't make the house smell, but it would be nice to have a bin to keep in the freezer like that, so there isn't just a bag floating around. Now I've got to figure out which plastic will hold up best in the freezer. 🤣Thank you for this video. I'm trying to talk my husband into getting a large format printer, this was super useful. Helped him remember how much money we saved when the shelf in our closet fell and we printed off new anchors for it. Other useful prints I've found (just to help the cause): Spice racks, tea dispenser, coffee pod dispensers, rulers and protractors for kids when school starts, mounts for eyeglasses, kitchen aid organizers, soap dishes, and lithophane gifts.
Awesome video mate. Best printing ideas I've seen so far. I can finally motivate getting the 3D printer I've always wanted. Also, good points on the large format printers, it may be worth spending a little bit more so it has more real world applications.
Currently researching the idea of getting a 3d printer as some of my friends have a few and love them, but I keep coming back to "besides DnD what do you use it for?" so this video was really helpful thank you!
I don't want to drop $500+ on yet another paperweight.
Lol my wife just asked me that exact question
I just finished up 2 kitchen drawers with Alex Chappell's grid system. stacking boxes 45mm high gave me 2 layers of organization. In the spirit of this channel, it was loved by the spouse!
Nice! But have you seen gridfinity…?! See my other video about it
@@thenextlayer I use gridfinity for small part stuff with the 3d printer room and out in the shop. The AC stuff is 55mm squares so fits larger things better plus nothing was custom fit, just simple stacking boxes. Both are great systems
The first useful item that I printed was an electric toothbrush holder that I downloaded from Thingiverse. It gave us a stable stand in whch to place the toothbrushes so that they are no longer laying down of the vanity top or setting unsteadily in paper cups or other improvised holders. My wife loves it and keeps talking about how wonderful she thinks that it is.
A tool that I printed was a set of feeler gauges so that I could measure tight spaces like slots for mounting tabs. While they are probably not as dimensionally accurate as a set of machined metal gauges, they have the advantage of giving the dimensions needed for the as-printed part.
I've found printed bearings can actually be super useful in the right applications. They don't tend to spin as freely as metal ones, which is a property you might want sometimes. Obviously they won't hold up to high RPMs, but for low speeds, they might just be perfect. Spool holders, for example, you might not want to spin too freely and unravel your filament..
I cant agree more on that. I swapped metal bearings for printed ones on my spool holders.
That's a clever idea you should make that into a business
Yea! Printing parts for the printer so it’s easier to print parts for your printer!
I saw those and almost laughed → then I got to thinking they wouldn't show them if they didn't work for something...coming from the world of Caterpillar equip, that's where I immediately went...obviously they do not belong in there...LMAO
@@BostonTerrierDad623 all construction equipment should be completely 3d printed
Good video! I'd definitely love to see you do a video specifically about 3D printed tools!
Good video. Very inspiring. Your presentation was about the mindset of practical 3D printing and not just to what to 3D print. Something like planters, you mention things about décor styling as well as a tip not to go overboard in printing pots "heavy" and "thick." I like to see a video (if you don't already have) that takes an idea of another designer and the thought pathway to grow it, improve it and customize it.
Your on-camera persona I connected with. I don't feel like I'm watching a city-slick salesman or a monotone engineer. Very good video standards. Thank You!
Wow. I’m honored! Thank you. Hope you keep coming back! Much more coming
Great video! Never thought of making a phone case without the top and bottom layers to show off the infill!
Yep! A lot of people haven't. I'm going to do a video on 0 top and bottom layers for those who don't know about it
When you buy a hammer, everything becomes a nail. My 3d printer is the hammer and my room the nail.
Ive done soooo many prints for my girlfriend, dad, and friends. From interior car parts. to hangers for shelves, to outdoor pieces. For example my dad needed a low volume part for an RV fridge. The part online was $40 and would take a month to ship. 30 min of design, 30 min print, and .5 cents of plastic.
Hello 🙋🏾. I'm from an African country without 3D printer , would like to know if it's possible to make a Pulp mold for egg cartons with 3D Magic ✨ ? . Btw i'm trying to design an egg carton machine.
@@halimatoumoussa3974 Not sure what "3D Magic" is, but I bet you can make a wood/fiber slurry pulp mold with a 3D printer.
One useful thing I printed (apart from Gridfinity boxes) was a toilet seat hinge. If I didn’t print it I’d have to replace the whole toilet seat, which would cost some good money I could buy filament and generate a lot of plastic waste from the old toilet seat.
Printed the hinge in PETG and it’s still strong after one and a half year. Managed to find a hinge that actually fitted my toilet seat.
Greetings from Brazil!
My wife was most impressed by two things that I've printed. The first was a replacement part for a rotating food tray that we borrowed from a friend and broke while assembling. Scored huge points for being able to fix it before returning.
Second print that impressed her was a mount for a Google Home that hides the cord and gets it up off the kitchen counter.
We have a lot of little potted plants that could use some nicer pots. Definitely need to make some nice models and get our plants looking nicer. She is still skeptical that 3d prints can actually look like something other than cheap plastic.
Thank you! As someone who’s thinking about getting a 3D printer, your video has helped justify getting one.
My wife has the perfect “kill phrase” for printing these kinds of things: “Let’s go to IKEA, it’s faster.” But being a sweetheart she’ll let me do it the hard way anyway…. well, usually… uh… sometimes🤔😉
$75 USD for an small trashcan :O You are the most passionate guy (for trashcans) I've ever seen :)
LOL thank you :)
As a newbie to 3 D printing your ability to connect with both the pro and the novice is on point. Most of the things you say about issues you've had are exactly what I am going through. I have so many questions about this amazing and fun new world it seems everytime i watch one of your vids one of my questions is answered so THANK YOU.. Also your pace and "video personality" keep the watcher involved. You dont loose your audience do to boredom. Keep up the good energy.
I am a stuntman in the film biz and I fabricate most of my equipment as there arent really any " stuntman supply" stores, this is the reason I have gotten into this game. Now to learn more...
Wow I really appreciate this comment!!!
Nice video. I was asking this EXACT same question and now I have a month work of print to do. :)
PLEASE to another one on tools, would love to hear your ideas on that!
Definitely doing the tool video. I already started work on it - so make sure you’re subscribed :)
Would definitely watch a video on tools. Really enjoyed this list.
That’s two votes. And thank you!
Make sure you’re subbed!!! I’ll probably do it.
@@thenextlayer Of course I am 😁
I think the most important thing is to stop searching for models, and start MAKING models.
Other people's designs are great for inspiration, but the real power of a 3D printer is producing things which no one has ever made before, things which suit extremely specific needs.
I do agree, THOUGH, I think there's no cooler feeling than having an idea, and deciding to search it on Printables first, and realizing omg, someone already made a solution and gave it away for free... I've been SO surprised, sometimes the most esoteric things are already on there
@@thenextlayer Absolutely true as well! And there's certainly joy in modifying existing work & sharing creations back to the community as well.
Great video, but I did chuckle when you went from printing "more *masculine* shelf brackets" to 'tiny little pots for succulents on my desk'
Great video… inspiring to see 3d prints being used for practical, everyday uses. I’m interested in the large planter shown around 18:10 in the video… I didn’t see it listed in the description. Any chance you can share that model with us?
Some advice for those of you who haven't done it yet... Don't get married. Just get a 3d printer, or 5. You're welcome. Thank me later.
My wife came with a 3D printer. And she wants another. Win-Win
My wife bought me my first 3d printer lol.
never thought about printing wire covers, I actually need some of those! I would like to see the TOOLS video as to what you come up with.
I'm on it :) Already started
one of the first things I'm printing on my Artillery Sidewinder X2, is a Wash and Cure station for my Elegoo Jupiter... just have to get my studio set up... thanks for all the great content, and pointers can't wait get printing.
Wow! What filament will you use so that over time the alcohol won’t wreck it?
That's the most weirdly militaristic name for a printer I have seen.
Edit: apparently, it's a Chinese company yet most its products are named after American military equipment. Weird.
Just found your channel. I really like it. So true what you say about the eternal quest to impress the wife with a 3D printed object. Also, your channel name is very clever. Keep up the great work!
Thank you thank you!
I'd like a tool video as well! My first functional print was a replacement tripod throat plate after being unable to find a replacement that supports one of my 15-20 year old tripods. I have two that use the same style of plate, so I had to switch the one plate I had back and forth.
Edit: I never thought of printing light diffusers. Could be useful for lighting up dioramas!
On it!
@@thenextlayer Not sure if you’re looking for tool ideas but there are some printable lazy Susans that work with marble ball bearings. Mine isn’t the best but it helped when I was a pinch. Needed it so I can rotate an object I was spraying with primer.
Nice ideas! But you might want to consider charging your phone via cable. Wireless charging strains you battery enough as it is but putting even more distance between the coils just kills it
Really? I thought wireless charging was better because it's generally slower and I once read that it """stops""" charging when your phone is fully charged. Obviously it doesn't actually stop or your battery would slowly decrease again but IIRC it's better to have a fully charged phone on a wireless pad than plugged in.
Where's this info from
was a little worried this was going to be a waste when I saw the trash can as the first item. But I'm glad I hung in there! Dude! You have some FANTASTIC ideas in here!!! And really helped me see that I can push past my limitation fears of building with the plastics! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Made me re-assess my initial dismissal of printing some of these everyday objects - thanks!
I didn’t know it was possible to simp in a 3D printing video, but here we are.
This is an educational video to make people realize that not only can a 3D printer create excellent models, it can also change our lives with our hands instead of going to Ikea and say "i need help"( just kidding haha) Thank you very much.
Enjoyed watching the process. Look forward to the upgrades and your other contact.
Thanks, will do!
I have an old Anycubic Mega Zero, got a handfull of "decent" prints with it and then it just sat gathering dust, I feel like I wont get a great print with my machine, ever, but I plan on getting it at least back in operation. Thanks for the ideas!
Nice, glad to get you back on the horse :)
Can I 3D print myself a girlfriend? 🤔
Girlfriend is temporary. 3D prints are forever
The wife might not like this
Give it 30 more years
Lol
Yes, but it'll probably chafe

Awesome video, you've earned a new subscriber here!! And I would love to see a video all about tools!! Since I'm like 5 months late to the party I'll have to check out some of your older videos since you might have already done one, lol!! 😁
Great video that actually gives good suggestions instead of more articulated octopi/dragons/lizards. Printing signs is awesome. Love the resources, too.
Thanks so much for watching... and sorry my hair was a disaster in this video ;) Let me know what you thought, below, and if any of these were a surprise to you!
Unacceptable take the video down
Jk
Do you have a link to the bit organizer cup at 12:50 in the video? Top of frame, orange?
How on earth is 75 $ for a trash can affordable or reasonable,
Great video and my first one I’ve come across from your channel but I would love longer videos on the furniture and tools.
ON IT! :)
Thanks, very nice video. Much better than other similar ones I've watched. Subscribed. Can you please expound on "zero top and bottom layers and using infill patterns" -- I would think infill would only work if you had top and bottom layers enabled. Not so?
If you don't specify top or bottom layers, the printer will start printing infill from the first layer. Some of the newer infill patterns like Gyroid are designed to add strength in all directions, not just X and Y, and thus can reasonably replace solid printed walls with something lighter in weight and bonus- lets through some light and air if you need or want it
Thanks for answering this for me :)
I can do a video on it!!
Hey, could you try printing a lowerable shelf or plant pot or something to get nice, maybe even big and heavy plants higher up without having to get a ladder everytime they need watering?
Following a bathroom remodel by a past-his-prime contractor I was left with no less than 3 switch boxes improperly cut into the paneling. The solution was to print oversized switch box covers. I printed with copper colored pla, painted to match the Mediterranean Bronze color and sanded down edges to show copper highlights matching my wife's selection of bathroom fixtures.
Thanks for usefull tips. I would like to see prints that are used out of the house. Ideas for cars and bikes for example. Keep these videos comming. I will check the otherones also.
Is there a link for the phone cases? Looks like a great opportunity for me to print not only two colors for the first time but also using infill as a pattern for the first time.
thanks for the video. i don't see the stl for your honeycomb shelf stand (~18:30 min) in the description, nor on your printables page. can you please share that with us?
Funny you say that we all printed those useless things.
took me 10 years to even download the benchy :P useful stuff all the way
You've done a great job on the videos and I like the practical focus you have on 3d printing. You have a new sub!
Thanks for the sub!
Dude, you have been killing it with your channel. Even watch some videos twice. Your doing great. Keep doing you.
Just got my first printer the Ender 2 Pro. Didn’t realize I can design and print broken proprietary plastic parts. Fixed my dishwasher rack. The end cap for the sliding rack was missing so I designed a part that could snap in. I got tired of the rack coming off the rails!
Yeah dude, that's like, 80% of the fun... SHOVE IT MANUFACTURERS I WILL PRINT MY OWN!
Do the tools video and add in tool storage as a bonus. Great content and wonderful production quality.
Thank you! I'm working on improving tool storage, actually, so that'll be a later video, but yeah, I'll do the tool one
Just got my printer. I think I'll try some planters first. Expanding on drawer organizer, custom tool trays for my toolbox is going to the top of my list.
I just had an idea... the problem with a lot of planters is once a plant goes in, you can't get it out due to the shape. I could make the planter snap or thread together as two parts, or just make the internal shape tapered.
I love 3D printing things for my custom needs. Though when it comes to selling prints, what would you suggest? I think most people are not as tolerable as us makers to the quality of FDM, they are used to industrial quality from CNC, injection mold, etc. I see flexi prints can sell ok, maybe light shades, but not much else have success or made business sense.
subscribed. thanks for the video and all the best for establishing this channel!
I've printed some pretty useful things for our daily use home. I'm a very organized person, so boxes and trays I printed to hold from screws in the garage, to my reading glasses on my bedside table.
I've printed hooks for our helmets and headphones, racks for our hard drives and cases for our docking station and hubs. I can't stop printing. I've printed stands for my collectibles and book ends for my shelves. I need help to stop 🤭! But I can't. You just gave me the cable channels to print. I gotta do it now
This is one of the better "useful prints" videos. I have printed a 300mm tall trash can as well. I've been using it every single day.
BTW, Gridfinity is not open-source. It's CC BY-NC-SA. That license doesn't qualify as open-source.
Hey! Thanks for the huge compliment, I'm glad you like it. Make sure you're subbed for more. Also, yeah, you're right, it's noncommercial, but, you can download, remix, etc, which is what's important to me :)
I have a 72" 5 shelf unit in my garage. The space between two shelves is 15" and of course I needed 16 1/2" for a particular item. So, I printed very easy extenders to allow me to shelf my item.
While I don't have a SO at the moment I appreciated the joke and the sheer practicality that can come from 3D printing. I do not have one but am going to get one within the next week and this just really made me think about what all I am going to make. I subscribed for the sheer humor alone but really appreciate the deep dive into the ways to help your everyday life
What is the max temperature a pla item can safely withstand? Can we print coffee mugs off it?
Would love to see and hear your thoughts on the FLSUN V400, which I use exclusively. Your one of the best content providers on 3D printing and although you do go a little too fast for me sometimes, you articulate very well and that helps me understand you much better that most of the others that simply talk WAY too fast. Not sure why the youngsters nowadays need to talk soooo fast!! But I digress.
Wow thanks! I will probably get the two unreleased FLSun printers soon… but not the v400
Thank You I am new and have lots of time on my hands I am going to try several of these ideas
A great video really appreciate the content, liked, subscribed and off to go buy my 1st 3D printer!
A good amount of my old Jeep Cherokee parts has been printed, ABS and PETG mostly, beside home light fixtures, for quite some time I was printing PETG bushings for dumbells during the lockdows to use different size disks with different bars, anything not mechanically under constant stress can be printed and used no problem. I don't even know how much money I saved with a simple Ender 3 pro at this point.
I love the gyroid infill you used on your subscribe sign, it looks so great on a time lapse.
Thank you :)
I have a >150 year old half-timbered house. One door to a room didn't close anymore, as after all this time everthin is a bit crooked an skrewed. Actually I needed some washers, but smaler on one side than on the other, to level the door. Quite a simple design (I don't actually used a CAD software, but simply drew a cylinder in Prusa slicer, subtracted another cylinder and made an angled cut). Printed in PET-G, door is level now, and also stopped squeaking.
one of my favorite useful 3d prints are clips to repair rj45 plugs with broken "hooks"
I have my first printer ever Ender 3 S1 Plus for a month and a half and I'm already down the rabbit hole. Two hours ago I ordered an S1, smaller brother of S1+. Had to share. :D
Can you do a video of on shape? This is the 1st time hearing about it. Just got a sovol Sv04 and looking to start in 3d modeling
Check out Teaching Tech, Michael did an awesome series recently, that's how i learned :)
FINALLY the first video that is not like: "Here are 20 generic practical things you can print" - and then lists them.
Even being from great channels, those videos always felt like they have been missing something, they left me feeling a bit empty inside and I was never truly satisfied after watching those.
Now I finally figured out why.
They just told you to copy something.
This video instead inspires you to think about your own situation in your home and stimulates your creativity.
Even while watching this videos and looking around in my room I had 3 ideas what to 3D print to improve my situation.
Truly awesome suggestions/stimuli, and I have finally found that first and only "useful 3D prints" video that actually did something for me personally.
Consider me impr...subscribed :)
The one thing that I never thought about printing before is like you said: heavy-duty mechanical stuff.
I plan to make a swivel arm mainly from aluminum extrusions to hold my 48" TV so I can swing it from my desk (use as a monitor) to in front of my sofa.
I was long agonizing about what to use as a hinge and how to mount it to the wall. Door hinges maybe?
This video made me think about that the hinges might not be impossible to make out of 3D prints and some axial bearings.
High praise!! Thank you!!
You've earned a new sub, cuz you're one of us and I like what you do. Awesome, keep it up! 😃
Thank you so much
Hiya, love your video's, do you have links to download the .stl files of items on your video's? I'm really new to 3D printing and am trying to find as many resources as I can. I also would be very interested in 3d tools and tool storage, yes I have subscribed, liked and hit the bell
They're in the description below :)
Lol, I'm still trying to get my first printer. Great video! My OCD needs these nice organizers. I subbed.🤓👍
Great videos! Your presentation is spot on!
My first printer ,Sovol sv01 Pro, arrived yesterday. My husband glanced outside and and noticed a big box at the door, I acted like it was a box of toilet paper from Amazon, and then snuck it down to my craft room hahaha…. I’ve printed two benchies and a calibration cube, and I’m crazy excited over them ❤
Nice! Print some of the stuff in this video you'll love it
Many thanks to all the great ideas you've given in this video!
Where did you get your 3D printer cabinet? I have been looking for one that can hold my S1 Pro and a Prusa (when I can afford it).
It’s custom carpentry. I’ll do a video as I see many people are interested
@@thenextlayer Awesome!!
Well, I've printed hooks, new feet for the ironing board, corner shelves for the bathroom for shower gel and shampoo etc. catches for a toolbox and hinges (these work really well if you use three where you'd use teo metal ones.
I've replaced hinges, broke snap latches, drawer handles, sink strainers, planters, and so on. FYI, a lot of trekkies have wanted the replicators from the TV shows and 3D printers are the first step, been telling people that for a year now....
Awesome video. Thanks so much for the ideas. Would love to see a tool video!!
Thanks for the kind words, yep, I'm DEFINITELY doing the tools video. Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it.
Yes, please! I would like a tool video. PS, I'm the spouse that would most likely object. Husband usually just says, 'oh, cool!'. I'm very lucky.
Thank you and so helpful! I hope you are staying safe back home
My wife and daughter love to cook. So your drawer organizer and the gridfinity system have me printing drawers for spice jars instead of a cumbersome "spice rack". Thank you encouraging me to grow.
Nice!
Um vídeo bastante útil, irei subscrever. Mas sendo ainda um iniciante, tenho uma impressora FLSUN SR e gostaria de ver como se fazem esses objetos todos. Isso sim seria também interessante. Obrigado
I really impressed my wife with my 3D printer when I fixed her '70s vintage Singer sewing machine ( she loves to sew) needed some special washers that I could not even find available if I wanted them so it took out my calipers and measured what I could of the old disintegrated ones and print it out new ones installed them and she loves it her machine is usable and she can keep crafting LOL
Love it!
Question for the qr code i just make code get tbat and then take it into blender or something to print ?
Great video! Thank you. Would love to see a video dedicated to useful tools!
Im still in the upgrading the printer with arbitrary printed parts phase 😂 Having a young kid is a good justification tho, endless custom cheap toys is kinda incredible
Yup.
