You can buy reuseable k cups on amazon for like 14 bucks. You will have to buy filters for those separately (k cups do have filters also) but you can use any coffee at that point. Much cheaper and minimal to no waste! I don't have one of those coffee makers, but i try to spread the word whenever someone isn't in the know. Thanks for all the great info you provide! I'll be getting started 3D printing and building things once i move and you've been a tremendous resource! Keep em comin!
3 more items, the snips for cutting supports and the scrapper, yes they come with the elegoo mars, but always good to have back-ups and masking tape for painting items Those are things I git at my local Rochester Dollar Tree
you probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last weeks xD
Wish we had something like that @ ZAR17 to the $, it is less than 50% of what we pay for the stuff here in South Africa. A roll of foam tape will set you back ZAR60 for a smaller roll, and then the quality sucks big time.
Here in Michigan, dollar trees are everywhere but I have never seen so many useful crafting supplies at them like yours. It’s like a dollar tree on steroids! Nice video man!
That dollar tree might be the nicest one I’ve ever been in and it’s huge and always busy. Excited to hit it up again in a few months to see what new stuff might be there
They also have long shoe horns. You can use these to help put on your shoes before you walk to your 3D printer. They sell different types of soda and snacks which you can use as refreshers while working on your 3D prints. They also sell various puzzle books and physical puzzle that are great for passing the hours while your 3D printer is working. Finally they sell toilet paper, which you're going to need when you visit the bathroom after eating and drinking all the snacks that you bought. Oh, I almost forgot, they sell LED light bulbs, which are super important for lighting up the room when 3D printing at night!
I recently saw a video about an airbrush from Harbor Freight. It's not for real precise work but it was only a 10 bucks and comes with several bottles to quickly switch between paints.
@@3DJapan I saw that too. It works great for priming and I also used it for spraying alclad chrome and it did a great job. You will need to buy an adapter though for a standard air compressor. Harbor freight also had a 3 pack of small no name super glue. It’s very liquidy but working great with PLA.
@@UncleJessy they have some snips that are like $1.79 or so that I bought. Handy to just have extras around. The airbrushes as someone mentioned are also decent. Cheap tarps for making a spray booth or laying down under resin printers to keep your table clean.
Someone finally did a video on this! :P :) The nail clips/tweezers - totally. I use mine for cutting a new filament end for feeding into the extruder motor. Also a low profile ~5"x7" at .75" tray under the Y-axis belt for ditching stray filament bits 'n' pieces - my print zone is clean - but the area around it can be a collection of broken filament ends, and stringings/hairs. Finally, the modeling/hobbyist cardboard reinforced foam sheets at ~1/8" in thickness - some 2'x3' in diameter or whatever - one can start enclosing their print zone space for ABS or other acclimating setups. :) Chill video notes! :)
I am truly jealous of your DT's selection! I have been to dozens in 8 states and never seen quite the crafting selections. My kitchen plates, bowls, glasses, mugs... I get compliments often 😁
I heard they sell painting canvases and my local store has our 3 and one was damaged. I happened to be near another one the same day and they had a huge selection of them.
Loved this, funny thing was after your last small tips video I was going to do a video of trip to dollar store and all the stuff I get there for printing, you beat me too it! And of course did it much much better than I ever could, thanks!
I saw you retweet about the squeegee before and been meaning to get one. Squeegee is also good to help empty the vat too. I use a small hard spatula to help empty the vat now but I can see a custom cut squeegee being even more helpful. Great idea for the nozzles, I'll need to look for that.
if i'm not mistaken those chunky brushes are liquid fillable and you gave me an idea to fill them up with alcohol and be able to clean the vat between the fep and frame where resin builds up- good tips Jesse, thanks.
The dollar store is great for getting replacement plastic spatulas and silicone funnels for putting Resin back into the bottle. Plastic spatulas are the most underated accessory
@@UncleJessy I got a silicone one. its so easy to clean. i just leave it in the sun and the resin pops off. funnels and spatulas are just the most useful things
Really enjoyed this video it’s helpful but I like what you did with it being in your car and making it more real for everyone. It’s one of the things I enjoy about you and your videos there always real. 👍👍
Yes I have a million nozzles ugh lol and those clamps are great I actually picked those up at the dollar general a long while ago those exact ones and they are awe soo for all kinds of things
I work for Dollar tree and I always buy these items. The clamps are the best I always stock up. Also we have chip brushes now, I use these for painting my 3d prints with resin.
They have a few things that are great for vinyl cutters. A needle tip for weeding. The finishing scissors are great for precision cuts. There are some silicone finger tips for sewing which would be good to protect your gloves a little. Those paint pallet things would be great for painting. The white elmer's glue is the same as the sticks. So keep that bottle and mix your own using elmer's glue
Those big brushes would probably serve great for applying the resin to your PLA prints. I am thinking of moving away from the translucent containers to something that will keep the resin in my IPA wash container from hardening. Great video!
So what do you do with the wooden handles after you are done with the sponge brushes? The pencil and brush organizer are useful, plus you can use one with a cloth thrown over it as an elevated photo stand
Oh that dry erase board is genius! I'm going out today and pick one up. I'm so bad at remembering if I change something during a print. That way I can mark it later. I keep a notebook with info on my prints because I'll never remember later what I did. So jealous of your DT because in mine the racks are always half empty.
I tried to coffee filters for resin a couple years ago. It didn't work out too good. I had to buy a paint filter. It allows thick liquid to pass threw it.
I've found those small clamps at Home Depot and have been using them as bag clips for years. I've used them for 3D prints a couple of times, but usually they are too strong for holding things together when gluing.
Keep an eye out to for "clearance" bins at Wal-Mart and even Ace Hardware. I picked up a pack of cleaning brushes at Ace that had a 1" brush and then a tip brush that was maybe 1/2". One was a steel bristle, one brass, and one hard plastic. Steel is great for cleaning off the heater block and ESPECIALLY the z-rod, brass for the nozzles, and the hard plastic is good for getting rid of the occasional stringing on a print without needing a lighter / heat gun.
For filtering resin I found paper paint filters at Lowe's very cheap. I think 25 cents for a pack of 3, maybe 50 cents but still pretty cheap. And I reuse them if it's the same resin.
I'll have to look in Dollar General sometime. I'm on the Indiana/Michigan border & it seems like we have them every 6 blocks now along with the Dollar Tree and Big Lots.
Yay! You pronounced 'isopropyl alcohol' correctly! Seriously... great tips video - thanks brother. PS - re: superglue - the best way I've found to purchase it is in the SMALL 'SINGLE USE" FOIL MULTIPACKS. Every time I've bought the big, plastic bottle you did, the tip not only starts clogging well before the glue is used up (it usually starts clogging after 10% or so is used), but I've also had the majority of the glue harden eventually inside the bottle. The small packs, however, seem to not only last longer than the big plastic bottle (maybe because they're foil?) but if I DO accidentally leave the cap off or something, all that gets ruined is that tiny amount. Much more cost effective (and less frustrating) in the long run in my experience. =)
Hahah hahahahaha I honestly considered saying it wrong just to get the reaction. Also great tip on the single use ones. I have another harbor freight video I’m working on and they sell a 10 pack that I buy a lot.
Nice tips. The squirty bottles should be handy for apllying stuff like 3D gloop or other low viscosity glues to join 3D prints. For some reason I always get strings of glue lying all over the work area. So I went for squishy bottles myself.
I liked this video even though i don't live in America. It still gives me ideas i can use in my everyday with 3d printing. And yeah you just got a new subscriber :D.
You can make your own spray glue with the water soluble glue sticks if you can't find the spray glue. It's a good to use up the end stubs of used glue sticks.
Try leaving your IPA sit for a few days, all the resin sediment settles to the bottom. If you use a container with a tap you can drain out most of the IPA very clean, and only filter the last bit the tap doesn't let out (the dirty bit below the tap level).
That's a lot of nozzles, how fast do they wear out!? I only print PLA, PETG and occasionally TPU and probably have a few hundreds of hours on my original nozzle that came with my Prusa Mk2s. Oh, and we just got a Hobby Lobby in my town, that would be a good store to check out.
Harbor Freight is also a great place to get consumables on the cheap, like paintbrushes for epoxy adhesives. Their epoxy is pretty good, but you'll want little paper cups from the dollar store or Daiso (which is also a fantastic shop for cheap stuff). Harbor Freight also sells decent tools like dental picks. Re: coffee Once you run out of K cups, use their reusable filter thingie, and buzz whole beans in a Krups grinder. The filter is a bit of a pain to clean, but it's cheaper and cleaner than using K cups.
Video Suggestion: Do this same video except instead of things to buy at the dollar store for 3D printing, how about, things at the store you don't buy because you can 3D print them instead. After getting my 3D printers, I strive to stop buying things that I could print instead. If you really think about it, between FDM and SLA printers, there are so many things you can print on demand as opposed to buy it at the stores. One example from this video is that little round parts compartments you use for your nozzles. No reason that couldn't be printed. I know it probably couldn't be designed and printed for $1, but the idea is that in the future, instead of buying things, you would buy print files for anything that you need.
Graet video!. as far as spraying glue on the print bed, i would keep using glue sticks. Over-spray would hit the tracks and other moving parts and gum up the works over time me thinks.
I shop at Dollar Tree a lot, but yours looked like a super version. One item they sometimes carry is a tape measure that has both metric and imperial units. These are very handy to have all over the house.
How did the coffee filters work out for resin for you? It's a good idea but I would think that resin might be too viscus to flow through a coffee filter.
A useful item you missed is in the kitchen wares section... Just simply labeled as "Chopping Mats"... You get two 11" x 14" transparent cutting/work mats. I keep a bunch on-hand, come in useful in many different tasks... like a cheap mat while cleaning resin prints, etc.
That's great idea for storing nozzles. I would suggest using higher quality electrical tape. I've used cheap and quality tape. The glue on the cheap stuff goes bad much quicker and leaves a gooey mess.
Yes, when it comes to tape, you get what you pay for. That goes for duct tape, shipping tape, masking, etc. It’s worth the extra couple bucks for good quality tape, in my experience.
@@roofoofighterI didn't think about it when I made that comment, probably the best recommended for doing wire splices on printers, is heat shrink tubing it's a great alternative to tape and I think many of the videos I've seen on upgrades, Bltouch etc, they used heat shrink
Great ideas! Please do a video on the Siraya Fast Navy Grey resin, it's supposed to be a new formulation that's more durable and flexible. Maybe you could compare it against the regular grey Fast resin. Cheers.
I've used Dollar Store super glue for years. It's not the **best** CA out there, but perfectly adequate for routine use. On the really tough jobs, I still use one of the specialized CAs (think waterproof...).
I LOVE repurposing DollarTree stuff! I identified with 100% of this video. I now even have dedicated storage for my good DollarTree junk; “I don’t know what I’m gonna use these _____ for, but I’ll be happy I have them when I figure it out.”
K-cups aren't bad if you take them apart. Recycle the plastic, toss the paper and mesh. OR use a metal basket style k-cup. OR, ditch the machine for a french press. Save and dry the used coffee grinds for terrain and basing.
@@UncleJessy I've got into 3d printing from minature painting and they're my go to. I'd also really recommend the masters brush cleaner and preserver soap if u want to keep them better for longer. Cheers for the content too your channels been a massive help in learning about resin printing
@@biffa2987 Thanks! I ordered some brush cleaner and wax?! or something like that earlier this week. Will look and see what you mentioned as well. Thanks for checking it out and leaving some feedback!
Yeah army painter over citadel. Windsor and Newton are the best out there but pretty expensive. But if your not super super into painting I'd stick with army painter and cheap ones from dollar store or hobby lobby.
Dollar tree, always a great place to stop, found things that I didn't even know I needed there. I too picked up a few brushes, not the greatest but lets you safe your good ones for the finer details. I actually love the 4 pack of superglue. I rather use much and the glue like always half drys on me before I use much. I would think that the resin is too thick for coffee filter how did they work?

I know, right?! We have so many dollar trees... Like a whole forest of them. But this crafts supplies are on another level to what I've seen in them.
I've watched the craft section roll out at a couple local ones lately, so I wouldn't be surprised if they update some of the stores in your area soon.
I wonder why we have so many cheap stores...
Thank you for going back to the old informative content and not just advertising! Loved it
The retractable card holder - genius! I went and got some the other day and am now using one on my Ender 3. Such a simple solution I never thought of!
In the kitchen section they sell a double-ended silicone rubber spatula that's perfect for scraping resin off the vat and build plate.
I bet Harbor Freight will yield some great finds! Plus it's just a fun store to browse! Great tips, especially the cable management retractor thing.
The id badge thing is brilliant.
Been using that for years now on my CR-10s. Works so dang good

Ohhh actually... that is a fantastic idea... especially if you saw me mixing something in this video for another project ;)
Dollar store to the rescue!!! Love it man great vid especially for beginners and even pros that think that a dollar can’t stretch
Exactly. The Nozzle Organizer box is way way way to helpful

For filtering resin I found paper paint filters at Lowe's very cheap. I think 25 cents for a pack of 3, maybe 50 cents but still pretty cheap. And I reuse them if it's the same resin.
Certain things at the $1 store are a hit-and-miss like the electrical tape sometimes the tape doesn't bond well and it unravels.
I did ok with electrical tape but the tweezers I got were terrible.
I'll have to look in Dollar General sometime. I'm on the Indiana/Michigan border & it seems like we have them every 6 blocks now along with the Dollar Tree and Big Lots.
Oh big lots would be another good one to look at
I bought my computer desk at Big Lots. Haha.

Ya I use them for insulating like around batteries or on the back of a circuit board that doesn't have a case
That's great idea for storing nozzles. I would suggest using higher quality electrical tape. I've used cheap and quality tape. The glue on the cheap stuff goes bad much quicker and leaves a gooey mess.
Thanks1 love the nozzle box and noted on the tape🤘
Yes, when it comes to tape, you get what you pay for. That goes for duct tape, shipping tape, masking, etc. It’s worth the extra couple bucks for good quality tape, in my experience.
@@roofoofighterI didn't think about it when I made that comment, probably the best recommended for doing wire splices on printers, is heat shrink tubing it's a great alternative to tape and I think many of the videos I've seen on upgrades, Bltouch etc, they used heat shrink
You're the man, Jessy!
How did the coffee filters work out with the resin and IPA?
Great ideas!
Please do a video on the Siraya Fast Navy Grey resin, it's supposed to be a new formulation that's more durable and flexible. Maybe you could compare it against the regular grey Fast resin. Cheers.
I've used Dollar Store super glue for years. It's not the **best** CA out there, but perfectly adequate for routine use. On the really tough jobs, I still use one of the specialized CAs (think waterproof...).
I am really interested in how well the spray adhesive works.
good ideas
I LOVE repurposing DollarTree stuff! I identified with 100% of this video. I now even have dedicated storage for my good DollarTree junk; “I don’t know what I’m gonna use these _____ for, but I’ll be happy I have them when I figure it out.”
K-cups aren't bad if you take them apart. Recycle the plastic, toss the paper and mesh. OR use a metal basket style k-cup. OR, ditch the machine for a french press. Save and dry the used coffee grinds for terrain and basing.
I'll always recommend army painter brushes of warhammer citadel brands. About half the cost and much better imo
Oh thanks! I will look into those. No idea which ones I bought the other week at the warhammer store. But I need to learn to take better care of them
@@UncleJessy I've got into 3d printing from minature painting and they're my go to. I'd also really recommend the masters brush cleaner and preserver soap if u want to keep them better for longer. Cheers for the content too your channels been a massive help in learning about resin printing
@@biffa2987 Thanks! I ordered some brush cleaner and wax?! or something like that earlier this week. Will look and see what you mentioned as well. Thanks for checking it out and leaving some feedback!
Yeah army painter over citadel. Windsor and Newton are the best out there but pretty expensive. But if your not super super into painting I'd stick with army painter and cheap ones from dollar store or hobby lobby.
@@UncleJessy sounds very similar if not justa different brand. Just keeps the bristles moisturised and helps keep a better point
Went right out to the Dollar Tree today.
Those metallic markers are legit. You can also layer over the white (just make sure it's dry)
Dollar tree, always a great place to stop, found things that I didn't even know I needed there.
I too picked up a few brushes, not the greatest but lets you safe your good ones for the finer details.
I actually love the 4 pack of superglue. I rather use much and the glue like always half drys on me before I use much.
I would think that the resin is too thick for coffee filter how did they work?
How did the coffee filters work out because if that works that would be a GOD SEND.
