Thank you for Watching! Tune in next week for more videos :) - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Alex uses 3d printing as a tool to solve complex problems in a unique way and not as a toy. It’s refreshing
Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks bud :)
I definitely like this channel over more of the other 3d printing channels because he's using 3d printing for better reasons then to make "little toys", just a total waste! Thank you Alexandre, keep up the great content!
I guess all of us are using 3d printer as tool to solve problems or bring prototypes for our projects
Hey! I'm the guy that designed the low-poly Pikachu (aka the toy)!
I really like seeing some of my early designs used as examples of (almost) useless models. For years I believed that, but some time ago I found out that those models got hundreds of kids out there interested in 3D printing and digital fabrication. As you show in the video, 3D printing toys is just one of the thousands of things you can do with this technology, and that's really inspiring. I'll be showing this video to my students from now on!
You are fake
Hi, I just wanted you to know that your design is also used by me in testing my 3D library on STM32 microcontroller - mostly because it's low poly and that makes not too much triangles to draw. That was the first thing on Thingiverse that came up when I searched for "low poly" models.
Here is how it looks: th-cam.com/video/TDCbDaliX00/w-d-xo.html
I don't find that optimal tho, I like the idea of kids making their own toys but with real tools instead of digital ones. Honestly the process of 3d printing is kinda boring and is much less challenging and interactive than other things, but it's definitely safer(even safer than legos lmao).
Sorry if I sound cynic, I do appreciate the way people have been pushing this technology to it's limit and it just gets better and better
I’ve just had this discussion with my brother and he’s decided yes it is good and I should design a bunch of things for him. Haha
haha, great :P
So you're his slave now?
I guess it's worth it when you're not the one learning how to do it
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I’d love to see you take something like that band-saw pipe adapter and show us your entire modeling process from concept to install.
Rusty Robot second this! while i‘m at it, also third
And a word or two about filaments and their uses, i.e. what type filament to use to press fit a bearing in...
“Here in Norway”... that was the part which impressed me the most.
why?
@@FeeeshEP3 C'ouse I dind't know he was (or lived) in Norway!
@@davidalbertopozaaguilar4698 due to white car plates and misread "entrance" sign (Dutch "ingang" vs Norwegian "inngang") in the drill powered scooter/stepper video - I thought it's Belgium.
7:37 My favorite thing about 3D printing is that you can print spare parts for a 3D printer.
haha true :P
@@achappel I 3D printed a 3D printer (Bedsize 600X300x500mm)
@@edwinbrink sadly you can't print electronics and metal together with plastic (if at all) yet
Von Neumann probes when?
Add a bit of AI to the firmware and it will just print itself parts to improve itself, until it eventually turns into a robot that self replicates. ... this would be a great plot to a low budget sci fi flick.
Just found your channel the other day and i am hooked! I work as a designer and own a few printers (prusa is due here next week!!), your process and ideas is so motivating for me. Great work, please never stop!!
Hey Alexandre. I love woodworking and I love 3d printing. I follow a lot of woodworking channels and it's quite rare to see guys mixing woodworking with 3d print parts or tools, so I was really happy to discover your channel. I also design and print my custom tools and parts but you gave me some more inspiration and I'm very grateful to you for that!
I enjoy watching you teach while using a rapid tempo but quite understandable and comprehensible even for this old man. Thanks so very much!
I could watch your videos for hours on end, in fact, I have. You have the workspace I always dreamed of having, all the way to where I am now, later in life... Great job on the videos, keep up the good work and keep your creative juices flowing. So far my favorites have been the organizer boxes and the camera stand truly works of art!
Nice presentation. I think I need to go and get those last few containers for the drawers. (I'm in the process of assembling the drawer cabinet right now)
I love that we are finally seeing people feature 3D printing as part of fully rounded tool-set, rather than just a novelty trinket maker.
That dowel centering jig is amazing
Great vid! 100% agree. I have lots of random toys/decor i've printed, but also things like helping hands, glue scrapers, assortment boxes and templates. It's a brilliant tool that fits in my maker space.
Hey man, your videos really introduced me to 3d printing and brought me to the decision of getting my hands on one, as soon as I have the money! It would be really cool if you‘d show your workflow for inveting parts, like how you measure something to make a 3d part fit smoothly and maybe also recommend printers for beginners and so on! Love your videos, thanks
Alex, you're very very talented. You inspired me to build some fitted furniture for my house using 3d printed tools and accessories (normal tools as well).
I'm Brazilian, watching you from the UK.
Soon your channel will reach a million subscribers and you'll be so busy answering business proposals that you can't imagine.
You deserve to be even more successful in your life.
Wish you all the best man.
just watched 2 of your recent videos liked & subbed! AMAZING Content ! Love how you go by an engineers point of view about everything to make it most efficiently and smart!
I had been thinking about 3D printing for a while, but your project that used custom router templates finally pushed me over the edge, and I ended up buying an Artillery Sidewinder and learning TinkerCad to produce useful items for my shop and models. So, thanks!
Can you do some little fusion sessions where you explain how you did your parts for your projects?
I have a background in 3d modelling. Bought my first 3d printer in May this year. I now have a VERY successful 3d printing business. So yes, it's useful :) Plus is stupidly fun to figure out exactly what you can print with no supports (it's a challenge I have given myself) and ways to use the printer that others wouldn't normally consider. I am really enjoying watching you use your 3d printer for your various projects. It's wonderful to watch traditional woodworking combined with a 'new' technolgy.
Just discover you yestarday and i cant stop watching your videos !! Nice Work!!
the camera arm has come along nicely i can see the new angles improve the vid quality
Great overview and explanation of 3d printing!
You make me truly excited to get a 3D printer. You not only make it seem fun but excitedly useful! Thank you!
Great video! I'd be really interested to see how you approach 3d modeling, how you go from need to iteration to solution to print and why. I would love to see your process of making mistakes and how you fix them, and what shapes or design concepts allow you to do certain actions like where to design a hole and what kind to attach a thing to a thing, etc. Loving your videos a lot!
Ditto!!!!!!!!! +1!!! I am not nearly at a similar level as Alex but i have the exact same values with 3d printing and design!!!! Please Alex give us a ton of Fusion 360 tips and show us what we dont know how to do perfectly yet. Short videos are FINE!! Make a whole channel
What’s your favorite 3D printer or could you do a top 5-10 features a good printer should have?
Just getting started with 3D printing and this is Good advice. Already ordered more
Love the video! I think you would do an awesome job making an intro to Fusion 360 tutorial! Just basic concepts or maybe a walkthrough of designing a basic part! All of your other guides are fantastic!
Can’t believe i just discovered your channel man. Keep making vids you deserve so many more subs. The quality of your videos are unmatched
Thank you so much ! :)
Just found your channel. Its really well put together! cant wait to watch the back catalog
Love hearing that! thank you so much :)
Holy moly, how on earth you got time to do any projects if all your stuff is so well organized? :) It takes me almost all of my spare time to get organized like this.
omg that butter smooth pan. LOVE IT.
I'd love to see more 3D printed content videos! I love 3D printing!
Subbed. I love functional printing. Keep it up sir!!
My latest project involves some complicated [underwater] filter housings for vacuuming my hot tub. Along with a floating weir skimmer. I 've had so many problems fighting with fusion 360 to make it do what I want!! A really complicated loft that I just couldnt get perfect. Therefore I would love to start watching your tips towards making things move smoother in fusion!
Love your content man, keep it up
this channel is great. keep the good work my friend. Great content helps a lot 😁 thanks a lot
Short Answer: hell yes! Didn't you see the $10,000 camera rig I just assemble with 3d printed parts in the past video?
😅✌️
Yeah, my thought was "I'm sure I know his answer."
Yeah, my thought was "I'm sure I know his answer."
Hello Alexandre, greetings from Argentina, your videos are crazy in a good way, on the dust extractors be careful with the static since the dust can behave like a gas and explode under certain conditions maybe adding ground and other safety things... Safety first! excellent designs and channel.
I congratulate you
Bro thanks for the plant mold. Looks really cool
I really like all your videos, very inspiring!!!! It would be nice if you do like a weekly or monthly video about "Top 10 useful 3D print online" and in each video you can add your own 3D print design. Keep up the good work!!!!!
Gotta say... after binging your videos you've 100% convinced me on the 3d printing bandwagon. Gonna buy one this week. Great work on the videos man! Can tell how creative your camera shots and sequences are now
That's so cool! also, thanks! :)
Another amazing video 😊 thank you for uploading this amazing content Alexandre!!!
Excellent thank you for all the info. just ordered a 3d printer, never used one before but looked an interesting project with a big learning curve lol
just gotta work out how to get or make designs. cheers
You are amazing! Keep putting out great content!
As you said a lot of guys out there printing a bunch of toys , six months later they dont like 3D printing....
Thats the most efficient , low price problem solver for any type of MAKER !!!
Great video busting the myth!!! Love your work!
Wow you're so creative that I've liked you in very first time watching your video, keep it up man you're too great, my respects to you
Bro, love your videos. You inspire me to want to build!
Nice mate! Would you do a video on finishing 3D parts? Like sanding, polishing, painting etc?
You're my new favorite YT channel now.
I have solidworks classes on my study, and I love to see my parts in solidworks coming to life
I love your functional 3D print projects.
Thanks :)
Nice workshop and video! Just subscribed :)
As for practical applications for 3D printers, @Alexandre Chappel , this channel is outstandingly helpful and inspiring. GJ !
Thanks for the video. upbeat and informative. Thanks, also, for your generosity
WOW dude! Awesome again! Can you show as an entire modeling process as
Rusty Robot suggests?
Thank you for another great video and to show us around! My dream is to learn how to create stuff like you and have a place like that to make things happen 😃
I would love to see a quick breakdown of the costs to print parts - forget about modelling time, but how much filament is needed for a small parts box vs what do they cost? Or the drawer handles, or the cost to print a router template vs the cost of the 1/2" baltic birch plywood, etc! I would also love to see the benefits of this printer vs a resin one, especially as it pertains to workshop stuff!
Side note, a 3D printer would make terrific inserts for systainers!
I bought a 3D printer yesterday then you come out with this video... great timing! haha
I haven't watched the video yet but already know it will be great
love your work!
Got Sidewinder X1 and cool stuff about it (about every 3d printer) is it can print parts to upgrade itself :) got some fan nozzles, all kind of adapters, case for new tft screen, gantry support, its great that you can print something usefull and dont worry about buying stuff or looking for something online for so long time ;)
Yes, very Useful ! I build the same Cyclone system for my workshop ... Work Perfectly
Dude, you are utterly amazing love ya vids!
I know like nothing about workshops or engineer, i just subscribed and watch when I'm cooking for some reason
I use 3d printing for a high variety of applications
designing custom pieces mainly, most of which I later cast to aluminum-low carbon steel
prototyping puzzles is so great too, it is even great for printing little toys
it is one of the greatest tools for prototyping, and since my ender 3 with all upgrades and 2 Kilograms of filament costed 250 euros, the investment payed for itself in a couple of month (not to say a couple of weeks)
I literally started printing the same day I got it, very easy, lots of sources and data available, very little trouble, so this question is a no brainer, a 3d printer and 3d printing are incredibly useful
I don’t know what I would do without my 3D printer now. I have had it 8 months and it has become such a useful tool in my workshop and around the house.
I have used it for less than a year but really enjoy my Artillery Sidewinder X1.
I would love to see you build a cnc router...
great video! Liked as always
Hello Alexandre. Love your videos. Been a subscriber for a long time but this is a new account. I know you usually build things to improve your workshop but their are thousands of guys out there including me that need your help for an idea to store 2 motorcycles on top of each other in a small shed. Some kind of lift with some wood, bicycle/motorcycle sprockets, chain, pulley, well in the end we would end up with the top motorcycle on a shelf and still could park the other motorcycle underneath.
Thank you for reading the long message. Have a good day 👍👍👍
You deserve so much more recognition
Hi! Can you talk about filament types, nozzle widths and printer settings that you use to balance strength and time spent on all these parts. Do you have one set of settings you use for everything?Thanks!
To force my self to learn 3D Modeling i've bought a 3D Printer and that's was a very good idea. Basically i've done the opposite! haha : )
BTW Alexandre my favorite content creator for 2020
I did the same, I tried learning 3d modeling but I got frustrated because I can't see what I modeled so I just got a 3d printer and then I learned 3d modeling way faster than before.
Amazing workshop🤩👌👍
Wow jag köpte bokstavligen en 3d skrivare igår! Bra video och jävla bra kanal. Jag hittade din kanal för bara en vecka sen och har kollat det mesta. Kraft från Svergie, Keep it up!
Kult å høre! Lykke til med printeren!
Man, seeing those drawers gives me goosebumps. I've ordered a ton of Sortimo Cases, but somehow I had the crazy idea of ordering all but one empty and though ill just print color-coded inserts, guess ill soon feel the same pain you did while printing all those boxes XD
I really should get a second printer.
haha, good luck with all the printing! :)
I needed a set of mounts for an LED tube light for use during Skype/Zoom sessions. I fashioned two angled mounts out of wood in ten minutes. It would take me longer than that to draw them in my CAD software. Sometimes printing is awesome, sometimes it's easier to go another way.
3D printing 4 lyfe
Do you mean Life???
You are very professional, I love your videos
Also, another thing about the molds, cura now has a Mold function, that basically takes the 3d model and turns it into a mold. It would be interesting for someone to try that function out, id do it my self, but im out of filament.
i bought a 3d printer after watching 3 of this dudes videos prior to uploading this video, never thought i would lol :D
that's so cool! congratz :)
This is the kind of use for which 3D printing was designed, and it's the kind of use I can respect. I work at a school running the shop. However, I don't run the 3d printing area, and I'm so glad I don't, because all it gets used for is printing little figures and toys from Thingiverse. That kind of use of 3d printing has always struck me as similar to downloading someone's amazing Photoshop project, printing it on a color printer, and then taking the credit for making it.
i am a Maintenance Director at a nursing home. I have made a few items for the nursing home and for my own use. Like a Headlight mount brackets and a battery box for my Ebike, Motor mount for one of the hospitable beds at my job. just for a few examples. So ye it is very useful.
I came new to your channel and have now nearly watched all your vids!
I love your work and as an ,in Germany we call it Technischer Produktdesigner, I am astonished by your work and knowledge.
Did you learn this all yourself, or is/was it your real job?
Hey Alex, love the channel. Could you make a video about 3d printing for new people who would like to learn the skill? Like modelling, what to look for in a 3d printer, fillament, etc? Maybe make a course which people can buy? skillshare one? i'd buy it.
I think you really like 3D printing and I like watching your videos.
very useful info, maybe you could do a video on how to 3d print various items which need different strength filament wire, and different internal structure strengths i.e 3d Pikachu doesn't need to be as strongly made as vacuum nozzle
As someone who owns 2 3d printers I have actually gone back and fourth on this with myself. I used to think it wasn't as useful but now days that I can design functional prints I have to say yes. No is it needed to live or make life way better? No. But the amount of small things I have printed that help me out day to day are kinda surprising. The thing I use the most is a simple wallet/keyholder I designed thats screwed to the side of my dresser and it works great. I also have an ecig that has the charge port on the bottom of it and thats a total pain since you'd have to lay it on its side to charge and leak eliquid everywhere so I got a right angle usb cable and made a cradle and it works great. There are tons of these little things around my house and office that make life a bit easier.
How much did urs cost?
Congratulations men! Very good ideas thanks.
Super useful video!!! Thanks
Awesome as usual.
As an norwegian I'm really glad you speak good english, and not like Solberg lol.
I deffo need to print those small parts boxes when I get my old 3d printer up and running.
Hilsen fra Grimstad :-)
Can you make a video about the different types of entry-level 3d printers, pros and cons, and basic troubleshooting / tuning?
Another great video! I can't remember if you've mentioned this, but what's the primary form of filament that you use? PLA, ABS, PETG etc? Looking forward to your next project!
He said earlier that he (currently) only uses PLA.
I personally don't think PLA is a good material if you need stuff that's used for parts that need to withstand force. PLA bends when subjected to permanent pressure. I think he should switch to ASA (it's the "successor" of ABS). Or at least PET-G
your 3d printer souns really nice and diferent, it will be nice if you make a video about how to get high quality 3d prints or how to improve your 3d printer (:
I need a video on that beautiful Blue and White planter
Man, seeing this video makes me think for a future project you should build your OWN custom big size 3D printer.
Hello great video. I love 3D printing. My printer is in my kitchen and oh boy you can hear it in the whole house 🤪 nice camera arm and workshop
thanks :) haha, I've been there :P a quick tip: set it on some foam to dampen the noise a bit ;)
Look at "tl smoothers" on amazon made my printer whisper quiet
@@achappel thanks. I have it screwed down to a board with supporting arms. Need to rethink maybe change the setup.
Keep up the great work love the content and your humour 👍🏻
@@liamburgess3385 super will look at them too 👍🏻 thank you
If I could I would have given you two thumbs up .. very inspirational video!
Alexandre, tell us about 3D printers in general, and also show us your one.
i love your ptojects
Thanks :)
i can't believe you replied on me . i like your genius and economic ideas . they're life changing and entertaining
I'm a software developer and for me the 3d printer was a no-brainer mostly because i like to do useful things around my house like cases for my switches or custom holders and brackets for my server things also for everything else, apple tv attached to the tv, handles for my broken old fridge and all built in OpenScad as it's the easiest 3d cad for me
Very good. I only have a small printer, so I need a bigger one for some of these ideas.
