Have fun printing! I got my first 3d printer a few months ago and I haven't stopped looking for things to print as well as designing my own as well. Just one word of advice, I find infill does not do much to increase strength, but adding more perimeters to the print helps a bunch. Your mileage may vary. Happy printing!
As someone who 3d prints a bit, i can say that with a FDM printer like Taylor has, there will be visible layers. Paint shouldn't be a problem, i paint my stuff with acrylics fine. So long as the paint doesn't melt plastic it should be good. One can tell the printer to make thinner layers, but that will make the print take longer. MUCH longer. I usually go with 0.12mm or 0.16 layer height, one can really speed up printing with 0.4. My printer can go around 0.08. But going that far, at least doubles print time on a small project, but on a 28mm model, it goes from 1hour to 4 hours 20 min. So what i'm trying to say is that you need to sand the models to really make them smooth, and unless things are really smooth hydro dipping with clear coat will have visible layers. However with 0.08 the layers are near invisible. And my printer is a CR10 mini, sort of a budget printer.
Also, just a tip from a fellow 3d printer; if you want your part to be "heavier duty" i.e. tougher, add more perimeters, not more infill. There are plenty of TH-cam channels that have proven that, for the same amount of filament, more perimeters will yield stronger results vs. higher infill.
3D printing is incredible! I’m a design engineer by trade and have been working with 3D printing on the hobbyist side for about 3 years now. I’d love to answer any questions or help in any way if need be! One cool thing about printing that you mentioned is the magnets. You can stop a print and insert magnets or nuts to have them be captive in the print. I’ve also done threaded inserts that are pressed in with soldering iron. For certain applications you can also anneal the plastic in an oven to get better strength-ish for other applications. I’m really excited to see what you can do with this.
Yeeesss!!! would love to see a series on "best 3d prints/files" Iv'e been watching for 5 years now and this kind of stuff just feels like the natural progression of the the mini mod mondays from back in the day!!! Love it! Also I went to school for mechanical 3D design so if you ever need help please feel free to reach out.
Most people usually go through three different phases when 3d printing. First is kinda "Yoda figures and fidget spinners" where you print mostly cool things that while they don't have a particular use, you enjoy printing them. Second is where you start printing (and designing) more usable things. And finally, the last stage, where you're solving problems with 3d printing, designing your own parts to fix your own specific needs. But you've totally skipped to phase 3 and that is SUPER EPIC. You should definitely look into different materials; there are as many 3d printing materials than there are knives in your collection ;)
Here's what will really blow your mind. You can buy MG Chemicals supershield conductive paint to coat your prints. Then use a Caswell plating kit to plate your prints in copper, nickel, chrome.
@@thesusboomerroblox6516 honestly, my ender3 has been phenomenal. Hard to suggest spending more, a prusa is more refined, but I've had no issues where I feel incapable. It really depends on what material you plan to print though, Ender 3 handles pla petg just fine which are you two "nontoxic"(general understanding, no guarantee, always do your research) options, both of which have different properties, that will cover most material needs. Getting into abs (the s stands for styrene, which is the toxic part) is doable with an upgrade enclosure, but I've found no need to resort to abs. Abs is the industry standard for plastics, but there's better stuff like polypropylene, nylons, polycarbonate, and so on. Very desirable traits, but require too much heat for almost any printer I've seen for a good price..... but even the Ender 3 can do it with the right upgrades. Probably still cheaper than buying a prusa, but the prusa is a quality machine. I also prefer the Ender's frame. Teaching tech TH-cam channel goes into info on Ender deep, good source. Proper printing got his head on right, smart dude. He goes through the trouble of printing nylon on Ender. But seriously, under 200$ for the Ender is probably your best starting point. Tomb of 3d printed horrors will show you the best set up, for tuning the Ender mechanically as well as on the software side. This is many years of dedication summarised into a reply, sorry I wasn't more succinct, but there's alot to know, and slot goes into this to be safe. Do your research. I personally want an skgo kit but that's high end expensive and for advanced users. My first printer was built from parts, was a good experience, but I would have been happier having the easy success of starting Ender. God bless you
@@jhonnylacksville6765 Second on tomb of horrors. He has the absolute best ender 3 setup vid. I now have multiple enders and I used his vids to set up all of them.

Avid printing nerd here. Infill does not mean more strength. Adding more infill just means longer print times. 15%- 20% is what you want to keep your prints at. What adds strength is your shell. By the look of your thumbnail photo as well it looks like your shell is really thin because I can see the infill. Up your wall/ bottom and top layer counts. Happy printing!
I have an idea for an add on item for the Orbitkey. Make a pill holder out of strong plastic with a hole on center at top to add on the key fob. Have the opening of pill storage to be a slide track that snaps in place. The demensions should be 6 cm long, 17 mm wide, and 6 mm thick. Alot of people have to take daily meds and this would be a handy solution to a compact edc. If this thing becomes a success you can throw me a small royalty if you want to. Thanks Taylor!
A 3D printed EDC pen that can handle Parker, Fisher, and Zebra refills would be cool. A carbon fiber plastic space pen ...now that would be something!.
I saw the thumbnail & title & I was like ah shit here goes Tay Tay with his 3D printer. Then I pictured Jeremy shaking his head and saying ain’t no patina patina patina on that
Iv had my 3d printer for about 4 years and I have 3 now I'm just getting in to edc stuff being a tow truck driver there are tools that I use everyday and it has came in handy to reprint a tool that wore out
If you want to print while you are not around (bigger prints) use a smart home plug and smart home camera in order to prevent waste of fillament. Good Luck!
iPad Pro is a beast every time I watch videos in the dark and someone is switching on a high power flashlight I get blinded by the iPads display. Never had this before.
I have a cheap 3d printer and used it for a fair amount of things. The most useful was fixing a knife design I tried to make and had failed. I'd much rather waste plastic than metal. Took a few tries, but I got the handle and blade ratios where I wanted them and even used that to get a grinding jig close to final angle. They are super useful for weird things
Don't know if ever done one of these but I'd love to see a first aid kit EDC video maybe comparing some of the common pre-made ones vs making ones ourselves. Just a thought. Love everything you do getting into edc first time because of seeing how easy you make it look.
Flashlights are easy... I started with a light by a member named mussy 9 volt 3 led no resistors, since then I have been designing and printing my own prototype flashlights... Mussy also has a lot of firearm parts and survival related designs...
If you want to make your life easier try the Cura slicer from ultimaker it Supports almost every 3d printer currently on the market and it has a ton of settings for printing
Honestly the first second i saw the video cover scrolling on you tube i just hype out.like crazy since red it's my favorite color and i'm like finally a decent color theme edc but even that wasn't the exactly real situation it still really awesome brother
I love this 🤩, I just bought a 3d printer and I have a been a long time fan of your show. You do an amazing job and I would love to see more 3d printer tutorial video from you as well because I have know idea how to use one. Lol keep up the great work!
The Flash Forge/Monoprice Voxel's software is pretty limited, but a great starting point. It's where I started as well. Really looking into the Prusa offerings. Those seem to be great quality, and good software options.
Try using tinkercad to design your prints bruh... That's like one of the most easiest ones to use... If you need help with designing anything lemme know... I'd totally love to get my hands on one such project as well...

Here's what I think will bump this up a notch. Hydro dipping the pieces and adding a clear coat. If the material can take paint being applied anyways.

Sand well or use filler primer for layer lines
