3d printing: measure twice, print 5 times. ;D
Classic, once i designed a conveyor and i need to print 5 pieces in total 68 times :D
My Dad as a CNC Machinist, with a boss that designs stuff. Measure once, my dad cuts 7 times.
@@komicalkramer6188 I'm a cnc machinist my boss come up with an idea, tells you very little info and says get on with it, "it's your baby" he says. Then proceeds to tell you he doesn't like that, that's not what he had in mind or he thought youd do it this way...
Unfortunately thats part of being employed, learning to say "why the f*** didnt you tell me that in the first place" politely..
Nah, I really prefer measuring 5 times and printing 1-2 times.
Less waste in time and material is always a good thing imo.
@@Der_Kleine_Mann I agree, but originally we were joking about how things often go wrong with 3D prints, either design or machine wise, meaning even if you're careful to measure twice, you still often end up doing multiple prints. And it's a play on the common saying, measure twice cut once if you didn't get it.
Only a 3D printing channel would think to blur their keys! :p
He must know a small bit about lock picking.
Never underestimate weaponized autism
You just visit the CCC lectures in Berlin once and you'll make damn sure to not post a picture of your keys anymore.
@@kataseiko We have the Black Hat conferences here
And not their license plate...
I got excited seeing the pixelated keys! I have explained to many people why you should blur your keys in photos. I have even showed a couple people how I can replicate their key. but thats mostly because in the US most houses use schlage or kwikset so getting pinning profiles is very simple. So glad to see someone already in the know!
Also again loving seeing the quality rapidly improving on the channel plus a big time sponsor!?
i figured thats why they were blurred but i had no idea that was a legit thing good to know
Also, 3D printed keys are untraceable.
Yes. Every time i see a video of someone showing the keys it makes me want to write a comment about it.
0:50 Censure the keys. Quite clever considering most of your viewers own a 3D printer :)
If you're a professional lockpicker It's far easier than that and the process doesn't require a printer!
Censoring it's just a good precaution when you're an influencer who has public domain infos about residence and stuff like that
Jokes on you. I keep useless keys on my ring.
@@zecuse i have so many keys on my keychain, even if i would post a Picture of them, it would be pretty hard to find out, which key goes to which lock
That car isn't worth stealing lol. Better to take the older Astra G, much nicer car.
Professional driver on closed course. Do not attempt.
wuste garnicht das du deutscher bist XDXDXD ach du scheisse! sag das doch vorher XDXD
Yeah and i'm a pink unicorn
Pro driver? I expect some nicely done J-turns the next time then :)
Redacted keys? lol.
Hahaha! They all say that! ;¬)
Thank you for this great video. I've recently started designing my own parts and also love the fact that you can iterate so quickly by adjusting the parts and printing to test the fit. I really appreciate the walkthough of the design process and learned quite a bit. I need to experiment some more with tapping parts and joining using screws. Again, thanks for the great videos!
I really liked that kind of video ,which shows the whole process of a prototype from idea to creation. Would love to see more like this! Great job
Loving the new video formats! Mixing it up is nice, all while still keeping the learning quality!
Great video, Tom. I like the explanation and example of iterative design. I make a lot of handy little things like this with my printers, and getting people to start doing their own design work really shows the value of 3D printing. Thanks as always for your work.
Ich liebe deine Videos!
Du bist der Grund, weshalb ich mir einen 3D Drucker geholt habe.
Mach weiter so, Kollege! :)
all i need is a car and a 3d printer
Or maybe you just need a bigger printer, so you can 3D print a car.
all you need is a 3d printer and an imagination
Siana Gearz I think printing is gonna be much more expensive than buying on e
got the 94 jeep just add 3D printer
@@TheBillionDollarSaaS buying on E is expensive as you have no impulse control
Love that you share your actual design files so we can adapt them. cheers
Great practical prints! it's a lot more fun to see you guys print something useful rather than just display pieces! I feel like there's been a 'recent' shift in that direction on different channels
Fantastic! Very useful video - I've been planning a phone mount for my car and your process has made the task significantly more practical for a beginner to 3D printing and Fusion360 👍😃
Awesome job Tom, you've inspired me to start learning Fusion 360. It really opens the door for so many more possibilities.
Hahahahahahahaha! When you said "ok google" my phone stopped the video and listened!
My Google Home in the kitchen (we're in Holland) started the Spotify music perfectly. It understand German I guess. ;)
@@drumcorpsinprogres I know my Google Home knows German. I'm in the U.S., so that's kind of surprising.
I love videos on practical projects that I can do with my 3D printer at home. thank you so much
This vid was _fantastic!_ Def one of my fav project videos so far because you should the whole process. I would love to see more practical problem solving videos like this :):)
Tom, great video...your video quality keeps improving!
You've inspired me to take note of the equipment you use and improve my own (small) TH-cam channel :)
I use a vernier calliper near daily and never knew about the 4th head-depth/square use. Thank you sir!
I don't use them that often, but I thought I knew it (them) all. TIL.
Same here :)
Not a frequent user but I didn't know either.
Yea me neither and Iv'e been using them for a longtime.
Count me as one that didn't know!!! Wow :) Way better than the depth measure :)
Hi Thomas! Thanks for the inspiration! I've designed and printed a push in slot for my phone which connects to my car play stereo based in your idea.
Waiting on the next live print quality feedback.
Tom. You are the reason I started 3D printing! Keep up the good work!
Bei weitem der beste Kanal für 3D Inhalt... Einfach nur vielen Dank.
Very nice Thomas! Projects for practical use are always welcomed. Greetings from Munich
1. OnShape is absolutely beautiful and I am so happy it is a thing. Starting my internship this summer and having to use Solidworks will suck...
2. The video style rocks and is a breath of fresh air from other 3d printing videos out there!
3. I was completely unaware that you could do different settings for prints and print sequentially...and I was always mad cause you can with Cura. Life. Changing.
I just started 3d printing so I have been watching your older videos. You have been pumping iron between those videos and this one! All are great videos!!
Sus
Great job Tom! Nice clean design. Thanks for sharing.
I like seeing this, from problem to desin to printing and refining.
excellent work Thomas. Both content and quality!
Great video and glad you've shown the iterations - I had this in a project for a boost gauge where it took a few times to get it spot on. Just recently I've printed something Audi want £200+ for.
Really glad to see car stuff moving forward in the 3D printing world and where OEM bits or aftermarket solutions can cost a lot! I'm hoping to see some more car orientated 3D printing sites pop up but I'm also biased....
I was planning on doing this, but I just went with a windshield suction-cup mount that had an FM transmitter on it.
Yeah, my car is old enough to not have an AUX input, but too new to have a cassette player that could be adapted. Mounting it on the lower left (US) corner of the windshield seems the safest; it doesn't get in the way and it's really easy to glance at it.
Love this video! Please, make it a series if you have enough inspiration. Thanks!
The CAD-Fu is strong with this one :) great video, thank you very much!
This is great, I really want to make one for my G5 and as I 'm learning Onshape this will also help me a lot with that. Thanks Thomas.
Brill vid.
I also use Onshape, but I use a FlashForge Dreamer. I like your way of working with the 3D. Happy to make bits and throw away the un-needed bits.
An excellent vid.
Thank you.
I LOVED how you did the audio switch for Tokyo Machine lol. Switching from camera mike to narrated audio. Great idea
Nice transition at the end there man! Keep it up!
I can't help being amazed that one can actually 3D model out of a web browser these days! Super cool! Great video there Tom! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. One of your top 10. Very informative and entertaining. It demonstrates a full lifecycle of a project without all of the chatter (some TH-camr's go on for hours). You should do more stuff like this. :-)
You nailed it :) from my POV printing practical things is a way to go...I’m bored of YT channels where models and figurines are printed - pointless.
Congrats
I always have to solve my *printer's* problems, instead of using it to solve others lol.
Wat voor printer heb je dan ??? Heb zelf een Ender 3 en dat ding doet het gewoon goed.
@@baklap141 gekoloniseerd
Good call with the Tokyo Machine at the end. Good Video!
Great project video Tom!
I’ve had that car. In Brazil it’s sold as Chevrolet Vectra. Loved the car ! Nice project sir
Incredibly well done. Thanks for sharing. Just found your channel and based on this video alone, I have subscribed. Looking forward to some binge watching. Joel.....
That turned out pretty great! Nice work!
You should 3D print a key cover for your car videos so you don't have to use editing time to blur them out!
More car and functional prints pls! That was great.
same car, same phone, works perfect thank you very much
did you yell SCORE ! when you found this?
What a great video. I like problem solving and prototyping :) Thumbs up!
I loved that you blurred out your keys, I never thought about how someone could grab images and duplicate keys till I noticed it in your video.
Similar task brought me into 3d printing 6 years ago. I've designed a small adapter frame to put 7inch tablet in 2din opening and ordered a print. The result was so pretty 3d printing service had its photo on their frontpage for like 2 months.
Nice one Tom! Coincidentally, as I know you're into your mountain biking, I designed a system to use the same GoPro quick release bracket for USB power packs, just inverted and the opposite side attached underneath the Garmin mount. It takes up very little room and increased the life of the Garmin GPS from 3 hours to 20. With two inputs it can also charge my phone in case I break my leg on a jump far from civilisation (again).
This is the project I have in mind for 5 years already. I didnt know about 3d printers 3 years ago.
Thank you for amazing idea, i drive Astra H too!
Very nice. Like the video work with the focus and the sunset.
Love to see more "everyday hack" videos like this.
Hi Tom,
Slick design and execution. :-)
Very well done!!!
yes!! onshape is best online cad software. everyone should using
Love to see more content like this. Perhaps some Fusion 360 content, too. But that doesn't matter to much, because processes are transferable.
Love this idea! Might have to do something similar in my car!
Well done! All aspects.
Ok... that was a cool practical 3D printer use case! Cheers
NOTE : Thanks YT random suggestion feed!
I want to live there, it looks so nice, and, if more people are like you, then it must be a much better place to live overall
I had a 2008 Opel GT, or rather the Pontiac Solstice as it was badged in the US. The gauges in my car looked a lot like yours. It was the year before they put Bluetooth on it. I really wanted the bluetooth, even though it was limited to only making and receiving calls and not capable of playing music from your phone. So I bought the 2009 steering wheel with BT controls and the BT brain box and decided I could live without the OnStar factory communications. Thanks to the OnStar, the car already had microphone and integration with the radio, I kept the original radio and it worked fine for BT, showing the phone number of whoever called me on the display! The BT box replaced the OnStar box perfectly, went right into the wiring harness behind the passenger seat, major teardown - that was fun. But worth it, it took me a couple of hours and about $250 but I could make and receive calls using the factory radio.
I do similar for my truck, but i put i IQ CHARGER on it, so now i just slide the phone in the support and it show me the route and charge in same time. With simple modification you can do same on yours and get the big advantage
I have a little trust issue with wireless chargers, in the sense that they are quite lossy and can get a bit warm - right against the phone's battery. I know this is not the most rational thing to be afraid of, and i assume those that just pop components willy nilly are just defective, but still. What i like though are those cheap magnetic cables, you can buy a dozen from China quite cheaply, leave the adapter end in the phone permanently and then just have a cord per location or use case.
Coveniece at cost of efficiency of charging
Exactly.
Far out, you guys drive on the wrong side of the road, too... :) I really enjoy your content, Tom, it's concise, clear and well presented. Thank you. Greetings from Down Under...
Another good video, thanks for sharing. Have a great day. God bless
Recently I finished modifying my Ender3 to print TPU filament. One of the first things I made were some replacements for the rubber bumpers that keep the air filter in my wife's car from rattling. They had worn out, and now she has some shiny blue ones in there and the car is quiet again.
I myself drive a very common vehicle in the US, and it's handy because there's all sorts of STL's out there for it.
Well done!
The problem is one needs to remake this holder after every phone upgrade. Which is actually not a problem in case you are the very designer of the holder and still have original cad files to modify. That's a biggest plus of DIY methodology: if I make it myself, I can fix it!
subbed of course and for those interested the onshape files are viewing only but still a great project to see
You're actually seeing my original project, so of course they are going to be read-only ;-)
But Onshape lets you clone the project and modify it however you wish (also, exporting etc..)
@@MadeWithLayers Yes, of course, I was only saying not complaining :)
Nice practical application video! also, Manual FTW!
I always struggle with printing things to measure. I often get outer dimensions right but rarely the inner ones. Depends heavily on slicer settings. Haven't figured it out completely yet. But good advice to print test pieces of certain parts or functions of the creation as distinct objects. Thanks for that.
smart for blurring out your keys, ive dont some locksmithing in the past and have explained this to people how easy it can be to copy keys.
Nice video. Always nice to see iterative designing in action! You are obviously searching for what format is working for you and for the viewers lately. You are quite far from the track you were on when you reached 100 K subs.. but still you make nice content, well scripted, recorded and edited.. Thanks.
I'm liking just because of the render time of this video
Great video and well done
The metric system is so much better. You made all your measurements so fast.
Did you first learned to use metric? Since I did not, I find it harder. Just wanted to know if that would be a reason for preference.
Metric is a lot nicer for coversions, but people freak out about it too much. You can easily do the same thing you do in metric with imperial. It's whatever is easier for you for the specific thing you're doing.
I am American and thus use inches and yard and crap. Metric is so much easier. I use it at home and it's just much quicker and easier to add measurements and make adjustments for scale. Someday maybe America will catch up to the the rest of the world for measurement standards.
Fantastic video. Learnt a lot from this Tom, 1) Never heard of Android Auto before. 2) Didn't realise there were all those settings in Slic3r PE. My current horse carriage has satnav etc, but will give this a go anyway.
Ty for new music to listen. :)
Tokyo Machine - ROCK IT
Dieses war toll! Danke!
Great useful content. More practical examples please!
Nice phone, the G6 rocks it is an underdog , haven't seen any other phone with that wide-angle camera.
I have the same car but with the navigation module in there. The navigation it is not that great and will definitely print this. Thanks Tom!
I like the new video style you're using
I like this type of 3d printing.
You taught me something about case modeling, thanks.
30 degrees, huh?
Hey, nice work! This is exactly why i love 3d Printing!
Would you mind sharing your Filament and Cooling settings for the Material? I am printing the Aprintapro PC-ABS on an MK3 and i feel there is room for improvement with looks vs strengh (especially bridging and overhangs)
Thanks!
I like how you blurred your keys. Nice thinking.
Hi, actually I dont understand why should we do it? Security?
Yes. now a days its very easy to take a picture and recreate the key and 3D print it. Then maybe copy that to get a real key.
Even cutting it out of sheet metal or a food tin will do
yeah I would never have thought of security issues like this :D
only problem is the key is in the ignition and it requires a chip (maybe) so no chance of copying the key (or maybe print hehe)
Great idea!
I’d love to see more life hack videos like this as it is the main use of 3d printing for me
Sweet, I own a 2007 Astra Twintop convertible which has a lay out a bit differently and I replaced the radio with a media system, I just use it with a fan mount, but this is a way better solution!
Nicely done
Lovely sunny German sky! Miss it
Krass.. Nach so vielen Videos raff ich erst wo du her kommst :D Die Schule kam mir gleich so bekannt vor :D Danke für die vielen echt hilfreichen Videos
Nice touch with the pixelated keys!
nice work with the keys Tom =3
Just awesome. U are sure a master :D
Direkt abonniert!!
you are great man
