🚨Drawer spacer brackets are now available! 🚨You can get the spacers shipped to you here bit.ly/spacer-brackets or you can download the STL files to 3D print your own here bit.ly/STL-files happy building (and printing LOL)!
@@MWAWoodworksthe big issue I have had trying to sell 3d printed pockets is shipping. Eg. $1 for plastic. $4 for my time, the printer and a bit of profit = $5. Shipping $15. People would pay $5 for what I wanted to sell but not the $20 after I factored in the shipping. If you can figure out the shipping issue I would love to know it
@@Navy1977 I live in Canada so different shipping costs. If I was to ship a lot then the prices come down dramatically. I shipped one piece that I built to a friend and it was $20.
Love the C channel brackets turned into H channel. Next up make the H into a T to make an all in one that spaces and holds the edges in line too! Thanks for the project and video!
Yeah. Ever since my first Ender 3 I have been absolutely amazed at just how many custom/special tools, gadgets, templates and things that I have been able to design and print for essentially instant gratification. Especially for custom things that I could never find anywhere. I'm presently running an FLSun Super Racer delta printer, a Prusa Mk4S and a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. I'm actually printing a custom GPS mount for a new motorcycle as I'm typing this. (Look Ma! No hands!) 😁
Really loving the integration of 3D printing into woodworking shops~! I have a Prusa MK3S+, which I like, but am really impressed by the Bambu Lab machines. Seems like a step up in simplicity, especially for multi-filament printing. My Prusa may be finding it's way onto Marketplace soon. Would be great to see you including 3D print content wherever applicable in your projects. Thanks for sharing this~!
This was a very cool build, detailed enough for a viewer to follow, and it also gave me plenty ideas. All I need now is a 3D printer, which is going to be my very next big expense. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing alternative ways using tools a beginner might have. All others I’ve been watching only show the fancy tools which makes me feel like I need a bigger budget to get started. Also, nice work with the cabinet and +1 for smart 3D printing 🙌🏼
This video was so full of great ideas I don't know where to start. But I seriously need those drawer spacing and alignment jigs. I just bought the Bambu A1 to print those - you really sold me on 3D printing. Post files soon!
I love the pocket hole jig - I don’t often pay much attention to jigs but the shape, handles, and bench dog holes take the ergonomics to another level! While I don’t use a ton of pocket holes, the same approach seems useful for other jigs too! Thanks for the perspective shift, now brb to see if that has its own build video 🎉
I had the same problem with the 32 mm hole for the hinge that had to be redrilled and left the old hole. Why is my bamboo Labs X1 Carbon to make fillers that fit in the holes that were left behind, and it looks pretty good. You have to fiddle around with the width of it a little bit to get a good fit. But it's easy if you use the X and Y scaling settings in the slicer
Hey! While I’ve only been watching your channel about a month I have to say wow! At first it took me a bit to get acquainted with your voice and content. Nothing wrong with it just was me as I have been taking classes all my life and I’ve had various instructors and teachers and their style are all different. I find your videos and style very informative and entertaining. In this video I learned a great deal. While I’m not completely set on 3D printing yet I am closer to wanting one as you demonstrated any reasons to have one. Especially in jigs and such. Not totally set with CNC but an easy setup on a 3D printer might help me ease into this process. I enjoyed the videos and tutorials and plan to watch more. Anyone considering this channel should subscribe and watch these videos as I endorse this channel as a great resource and reference to projects in this field. I approve this message.😂
I love seeing 3D printers do more than printing choochkies and toys. I use MUCH cheaper filament, so your prices blow my mind (I also use open source super inexpensive printers) .. Love this use of printing useful stuff ..
At 1:08 you see an interesting thing that kept me thinking the last few days. As most higher end tracksaws the Festool has the motor on the left. While the DeWalt in that shot has the motor on the right. Typically, corded saws have the motor on the left and battery powered ones on the right. Don't ask my why ... Now that means for track-sawing, where you need to have the weight of the saw above the track, with a corded saw you typically need to make your cut left to right, which is for right handed people not a natural one. Therefore I like to use my battery powered DW circular saw (I do have both :) so that I can make my cut right to left. And yes, I could do so because I made my own DIY zero dollar track.
For sure! 3d printers are very capable for things like this. Just double check tolerances every time, plastic warps. Also, research about PETG, excellent material to mix with wood because it's less brittle (warps a bit before breaking). I should learn woodworking.... :D
22:13 could print a little cover for that extra hole. Just got my Bambu A1 and loving it. Just need to build a new unit for it now to keep the sawdust off of it. Those spacers will be recreated to help.
Nice build, I'm sure it will get lots of use. I've printed a lot of things to use in the shop, but hadn't thought about an H spacer. I'll have to get to work on that. - Chris
I am a recent track-saw convert. The TSO square is excellent. Why not use the TSO square to cut your wider parts to length rather than flipping them over on the miter saw and cutting them twice? Great video.
The drawer front jig is cool. I'm thinking you could make it T shaped so as to provide the function of spacing between the drawer fronts and aligning the sides at the same time.
Love all of your videos and how you explain what you are doing. BTW, do you have plans out for the pocket hole jig that you are using with the pocket hole device? I went looking at all of your plans but do not see any plans for the set up you are using. I like how it attaches to the work table using dog holes. I would very much like to build one like you are using. Please point me to where I can purchase these plans. Thanks so much for doing all of these great videos.
Regarding the hinge plates: You show your jig, and show drilling the pilot holes, but how do you determine the dimensions? You have a line there to line up your jig, but how did you determine the placement of the lines? Or the depth of the holes on your jig? For my latest cabinet (I hate cabinets, by the way) I made several mock-ups with scrap material before I figured this out, but this is not something I could replicate easily on the next project without starting over. I'm trusting that there won't be a next project that used euro hinges.
there are standards for the hinge plates depending on whether its an inset hinge or overlay hinge. I think 27mm for overlay and maybe 56 for inset (don't quote me on that). As far as where to draw the reference line that's completely up to your application.
Your H spacer is great. Could you add the side bracket to it? Making it a T shaped bracket that slips in between the drawers from the side and also lines up the vertical edges. Fun video.
I see people use spacers for drawer slides a lot, but everyone has multiple sizes or cuts down after each use. I had 2 thoughts - 1) maybe the width of the tall spacer is the height of the next slide? or 2) a way to hold stacked pieces together, like a small hinge might allow to reuse common size spacers without always cutting down more scraps?
Great idea! If I built cabinets the exact same way every time (same dimensions and drawer sizes) I would create a more repeatable jig that I didn't have to throw away when done. Great thought!
All very cool. The only thing to knock you on is the pocket screws visible on the kick plate. That would drive me nuts, but otherwise, a fantastic, all encompassing video. I have been looking at those Bambu Labs machines too. They are so versatile.
Are you using a plywood that's pre-finished on one side? If so, what do you do for the vertical dividers in the center of the cabinet since only one side is finished?
2 questions: 1) - Is your plywood already coated (I saw it's called pre-finished), so then where do you find it (in general vs. your specific local place)? 2) - How on earth do you screw the pocket holes together (at the side piece with the toe kick) without a clamp (I see clamps were used in the middle) and not have the wood shift on you? Even with a clamp sometimes or I think it won't, they wood slides a bit and I don't get a clean edge fit.
Pre finished plywood is sold at plywood warehouses or some hardwood lumber dealers. I used a spacer as a "backer" in order to screw into the toe kick so I have something to push against.
@@MWAWoodworks that first shot of the pocket hole, aside from spacer, didn't seem like much pressure was applied at all. Wondering if you started off on slow and then speed the rpm's up when doing it?
Great tutorial. While a CNC is cheat woodworking, IMHO, a 3D printer is not. Seems well worth the $$ if used often enough. Thx for putting this vid. together.
what about just mirroring the drawer front bracket so the top & bottom are the same and it clicks/holds the under drawer and new drawer front at the same time ? :)
Your ideas are cool but there is one tool I’ve been trying to find and can’t. It’s your countersink bit. I have never seen one like that. Could you tell me where its can be purchased. Thanks and i will have to look into the 3D printer, love those plastic spacers!
Great video as always. I need a cabinet like this for my Bambu A1 Printer I love mine just need to get a lap top and start learning how to make my own 3D models but even with out just from my iPad and phone if printed so many cool and helpful things. Are you going to share the cabinet spacers you created and the other 3-D jig you made?
Love the spacers and the video. First time I've watched one of your vids and now I'm looking into buying the printer ....... what have you done !!!!! Joking aside, great content and look forward to watching more of your vids soon. Regards the spacers there a fantastic idea that I would gladly purchase. Are you close to uploading the files for printing as that's one of the first projects, and I would be more than happy to purchase the files. Anyway thanks again for your hard work. All the best Grant from the UK
Great video! Great build. I love it. How are you enjoying the Graco Quick Shot? I LOVE IT! I have the Bambu P1S. It’s great. There really is sooooo much you can do with it. I’ve thought about spacers… but did not ever think of them the way you did. I am definitely going to want to make some of those spacers. I also really like the hinge locator.
I know how to make cabinets. Literally made thousands, so I fast forwarded. That 3D printed jig was worth the video. I salute you, sir. That’s a clever little thingy.
Too funny I have a Bamboo A1 3D printer sitting in my basement that is a gift for XMas and guess what is on my first list to make? My idea is slightly different but does the same thing and will be able help me with a cedar shingle install planned in spring. Hmm I need to look at this SW primer does anyone have experience if this being shellac based keeps bleed through from happening?
great project and video! Couple of questions -- there was one step you didn't show that always gives me trouble -- it's sealing the sides of the MDF for painting. I've been using Kem Aqua primer and color for years but MDF edges seem to always require a truckload of shellac to seal before they will fully take the primer and color. What did you do here? Secondly, I like the idea of using pre-finished ply to avoid grain raising which is a big hassle for water-based primer like the Kem Aqua, but you actually used alcohol based primer (the shellac) instead -- I thought only water would raise the grain and alcohol-based shellac wouldn't, so I was confused about why you used PF ply in this case when you were planning to use shellac primer. Lastly, I. wasn't aware of the Gallery Series from SW. do you know if there is a Gallery Series primer? thanks, all the best
@@MWAWoodworks They’re an amazing companion. I got into them years ago to fix general issues (not woodworking). I wish it was this easy back then! Will be building some upper cabinets soon and your vids will be really helpful. Can the top nailer be a French cleat?
You can do French cleats but you need to do it on top and bottom. Otherwise you put all the weight of the cabinet on the top cleat which won't be good.
Are you adding a kicker board to the bottom of the cabinet? Otherwise the exposed pocket holes seem to be a mistake. Looks great otherwise, and the Bambuu A1 is a great little printer.
Hi there, The Shellac primer you used from Sherwin Williams is that good for all Woods and MDF? I used Kem Auqa sealer primer before they canceled it, I'm looking for a thin product like that ...your thoughts, please . Great videos!!!

Those H spacers I would re-print with ends on one side so you can ensure the drawer faces line up.
Welcome to the 3D printing world. It's a fabulous rabbit hole! :) My Bambu is MUCH better than all the other printers I've owned.
I think you should sell those spacers to those of us that are woodworking for a hobby and not likely to own a 3D printer.
This is just the kind of feedback I'm looking for! There's definitely a possibility!
I'd also be interested in the spacers!

Haha I love the clips!
Spacers are a genius idea! Well done.
I am not a Sherwin Williams fan but that Kem Aqua is awesome. Sprayed all the doors in my house with it. Durable as hell.
You should try the Gallery Series stuff it's great and dries hard too. Unfortunately Kem Aqua is on its way out according to my source.

Question: since you added plywood to the back, could you use thicker poly and forego the nailer?
Thicker poly?? You mean a thicker plywood back panel?
i needed that spacer thingy 2 years ago
Your H spacer is great. Could you add the side bracket to it? Making it a T shaped bracket that slips in between the drawers from the side and also lines up the vertical edges. Fun video.
Yep I did that and now I have them for sale!
Love build. Buying an A1 printer too because of this vid. But my only critique is the exposed pocket holes on the toe kick is killing me.
They won't be exposed! You put base trim around the cabinet when you install them.
I see people use spacers for drawer slides a lot, but everyone has multiple sizes or cuts down after each use.

May be make one side of the H a wall so the lateral adjustment is covered too.
Hi. This bamboo lab printer is a neat thing. I guess you should make a footage just to show what it exactly does. Probably bamboo lab for dummies. Lol
Are you using a plywood that's pre-finished on one side? If so, what do you do for the vertical dividers in the center of the cabinet since only one side is finished?
Pre finished on BOTH sides, except for the 1/4 ply which is only finished on the show face.
Are all these jigs that you 3D printed available in the various websites that offer designs that can be loaded into the printer?
Great idea with the H brackets
Great Video!! I need to get me a Bambu Lab A!!
So totally worth it. It's crazy to me how cheap these things have become and how easy they are to use!

Ya I always go in short bursts when doing pocket holes. It can be easy to strip them out with a driver if you don't.
@@MWAWoodworks ok, and lastly, for the pocket screws themselves, how long are the ones your using?
1.25"
H brackets to T-H brakets. Take the horzonal and the vertical drawer 3d printer holders and join them together.
This is a great video! Would love the 3D plans for the drawer spacing prints when you finish them! (please) :)
Print an insert to fill the screw up on the door hinges
Can we get the plans for that spacer?

ya its TIGHT

Can't find a video you put out or might have missed it....where did you buy or plans to make your pocket hole setup?
Nice setup.
What kind of long driver bits were you using on the pocket screws?
And next, start looking into infinity grid for your 3d printing storage :)
I just was talking to a cabinet maker and you are correct he said he hates you.

The Shellac primer you used from Sherwin Williams is that good for all Woods and MDF? I used Kem Auqa sealer primer before they canceled it, I'm looking for a thin product like that ...your thoughts, please . Great videos!!!
yeah you can put it on raw wood, plywood or MDF
He’s back!
It's like a Bigfoot sighting 😂😂😂😂
What about those pocket holes that are visible at the bottom of the cabinet?
They get covered with base trim!
Magnificent! 😀
If you take those "H" clips and close off one end, it will hold both drawer face AND center them together.
Great video. I too just got a Bambu to help my woodworking. Where did you find the Blum drawer jig?
Rockler sells them.
Sorry if missed this, but is there a link to the h brackets for installing the drawer fronts?
Not yet
What grit are you scuff sanding with before primer on the prefinished ply?
Something like 220 or 320 is good. Honestly I'm not 💯 that it's even needed. I'm running some tests
Wait a second my local hardware store does NOT sell nice and shiny sheet goods like that. Where did you get that plywood?
7:54 nvm you painted it lol
The pre finished plywood comes from my local plywood dealer. It's great for painting it or leaving natural!
Lumberyard…
Sorry... meant to ask , is it a thinner product like the kem Auqa surfaces?
Yes very thin
What software (cad) do you use to design jigs before you send to Bambu slicer? Great video!
I really like Fusion360!
9:26 " I usually buy rough lumber" What about moisture and bugs?
Rough lumber just means lumber that has not been surfaced yet. It's still been kiln dried, just not planed.
