I know I’m just getting started but if you have any questions or ideas about 3D printing let me know!
Do you have anything anything for robot vacuums?
@@coltonsvacuumcollection the things that I've seen are the ramp which I mentioned in the video but I also saw some brackets for the robot vacuum's charging base. That can attach to the wall and keep the charging base from moving around.
@@SmartHomeSolver ok thanks I’ll try to find that ramp because when I have to buy my robot vacuum on carpet almost all of them struggle to dock and can you please check out my TH-cam channel?
If your kids enjoy playing with nerf guns you can also print some attachments to them , like scope or dart holder which can be easily mounted on the tactical rails.
@@after7421 my kids love the nerf guns so that's a great idea!
You can also do mid print layer stops and stick in an NFC sticker to make your own smart objects. Just leave a pocket in the model when designing and tell the slicer to add a pause command at the right layer height. I’ve recently started playing around with this and programming the stickers all on my phone.
Ohhh I like it! Thanks that's a great idea!
@@SmartHomeSolver great way to embed magnets or anything else for that matter!
What app do you use to read the nfc tags?
@@jeremy6384 NFC tools paid version 🤙
@@garrettsmith4574 oh ok thanks
I got a 3D printer last fall and have been using it for many of the same types of things. One additional suggestion I might offer is, if someone doesn't want to try hooking it up to a Raspberry Pi, you can simply plug the whole thing into an energy monitoring smart plug. That way, you can set up notifications when the power drops back down to it's idling state to let you know when a print has completed.
Great idea with the energy monitoring smart plug! I'm going to use that for sure!
I also use it to calculate the electricity cost per part and monthly total using utility meter and a template sensor in Home Assistant and InfluxDB to save the data for longer periods
I have OctoPi set up to run my printer, and there's actually a plugin for Home Assistant (and some other automation platforms as well) that will turn a smart plug on when you send a print job, and then turn the printer's smart plug off once the hot end has sufficiently cooled down. That way when its idle I'm drawing no electricity.
The end is amazing! This exact scenario happens so often I'm my house lololol!
Although i haven't mustered the confidence to do this myself, i love what you did here and it's really inspiring! Just thinking about the implications about this a decade into the future for people, very cool.
Cool functional designs! 😎
Long time no see Adrian
Great ideas and this could almost be a separate channel of how you make your own 3d smart home equipment.
Wow now this is really neat. What I love about your channel, is the diversity of different topics in videos. And you include your family which makes the videos funny and entertaining. You've given me a ton of ideas to try and buy! Thank you!! From Red in Va ❤️
That clip on Echo stand would be totally awesome as the Enterprise. 😁
That's right... That caliper was using METRIC!
Freedom units are such a paint to deal with.
Did anyone else think the Echo Dot holder looked like the Enterprise maybe you could make the second design more like it?
Great video! Would love to see more 3d printing home automation videos.
You need a Sandman Doppler for that nightstand. Hit us up if you want to try out the Sandman Doppler.
Please post more 3D printer vids! This got me very interested in getting my own 3D printer.
There's an endless list of things I want to design/make/print sitting on my desk and I just keep adding more to it. I might need to start blogging or something to make all this time worthwhile lol. Great video, keep it up!
I just bought a 3d printer so I can’t wait to try some of these out!
3D printing and home automation go so well together!
If user came back home, start to print a benchy
@@bew lmao
Which smart led strip did you use for the cube? 🙃
Print a camera support to attach it to the 3d printer bars.
I bought the Third reality Smart Switches for my apartment since they just snap over existing light switches, but I broke some of the brackets accidentally. Designed and printed replacement brackets, and it gave me the confidence to try and make my own version using a small motor and something like an RPI zero. Still working on the code side before I finalize it
I got an Ender 5 Pro a couple of years ago and have never looked back. I never had to do any updates, except adding an Auto Bed Leveller. Bet thing I ever got. I would say it is easily the second most useful tool in my tool kit, with the soldering iron being the most useful.
When it comes to one off prints or prototypes, I just find the 3D printer invaluable.
This is great! Combining 3D printing and smart home!
Same here.
It is funny to see that the puzzle you had in your hand was the 3rd piece i printed with my printer.
That swiveling contact sensor holder is awesome!
Nice borg cube
Do you have any walkthroughs of how you connect your devices together? I know not everything needs a "tutorial" but it would be cool to see how you connected your alien cube to notifications across your devices or something "simple"
Smart home for Life 🧬 ♥️
That cube light is really cool!
Awesome video now adding 3D printer to my birthday want list!!
i'm glad the 3D printing situation is much better now. I tried it a couple years ago and it was just too much tweaking to get a good print.
Your family is just too great! Love the video as usual. Keep it up!
Thanks Charles I really appreciate it!!!
love the notification light! very cool ideas
The end of your videos are always the best
Thanks Reed. 👍🏻
Dude, you literally posted this video the day I bought my first 3D printer! That’s a bit creepy. 😄 Your idea for the garage sensor is ge-ni-us though! I’ve been struggling with my garage sensor for a while now and this seems like a magnificent solution! Thank you.
Printables also nice and cults
Get yourself a raspberry pi zero 2 and put octopi/octoprint on it connect to the 3d printer and you can control Smarthome lights ect when prints are done or errors happen and it can also auto shutdown the printer when jobs complete would be a great investment to your smart home 👍🏻
Awesome! Just got the Ender 3 S1 Pro as my first 3D Printer, I'm also into Home Automation, so really enjoyed this video! Can't wait to get some time to sit down and create some great 3D models!
That's sweet you got the Ender 3 S1 as well! I can't believe how easy they make it now.
@@SmartHomeSolver Yeap! Making it so easy for almost anyone to get into 3D Printing
I actually designed a custom robot vacuum ramp :) You can print Smartthings hub mount, I hang it at a place where connectivity is better
That's a really good idea!
I made a custom mounting bracket for a video door bell using this exact method
That's what I need. A 90 degree mount for my Wyze doorbell
Just wanted to say thankyou for your videos, you do a great job of evaluating all the different products and their usefullness. Building my smart home based off your recomendations. Keep it up, and Luna is great too!! lol
Thanks Darrin!
Well done.
I'm always looking for fun new things to print. My favorite thing I ever designed was a garden gnome from the show Bluey.
My kids love Bluey! I'm sure that was fun to make!
@@SmartHomeSolver It was very fun and the kids love it. I can give you the file if it is something you would like to print.
Hope sometime you'll be able to have an update on 3d printing for your smart home! Not sure if you've been able to 3d print much since you've been so busy the past few months.
Thanks!
Wow thank you Daniel for the super thanks! I really appreciate it!
I made my own vertical wall support for my IP camera (which doesn't have one not even a commercial one). I made a xiaomi wireless support for handle the button in the wall. There's a lot possibilities.
That light cube looks really cool. I would have printed it in almost the opposite way though, in the I would have printed the light diffuser layer as one solid piece (basically a square tube with a bottom plate all one line thick, then I would have printed the black layer as individual faceplates for each side so that the lines that let light through could be printed with any geometry without the need for printing support material. Then glue the outer faceplates to the diffuser box.
That's how the person who designed the cube made some other of these alien light cubes. I'm sure that would work well too!
You could make a little hood for your sensor to act as a blinder too.
That's a great idea!
I've been thinking to buy a 3D printer for ages, but I don't know what to look out for.
I know nothing of it to be honest.
It just looks nice to have and to print stuff out.
4:12 basic shape of The Enterprise haha
I like the notification cube. It's a neat idea.
God i've wanted a 3d printer since the early 2000s -- when they were expensive. I need to buy one soon though, but i get overwhelmed with the choices and end up not buying anything. It's an endless cycle
That's how I felt about 3D printing until I found the Ender 3 S1. That thing is an amazing first printer that works so well.
In terms of how extreme you can go with these these things. I completely rebuilt a microscope with new electronics mounted with 3d printed parts and a camera mount set to the focal distance of the lens to take pictures and output a live feed. Same with small automotive parts, outdoor items(petg, abs), telescope mounts, hell even 3d printer parts done recursive style
Can you link the file for the white square diffusers for those of us that can't model our own prints?
What exactly is the cloud lamp thing? Is it a switchbot ir hub?
I wonder what would happen if Paul Hibbert got his hands on a 3D printer🙃
I use home assistant to keep an eye on the printers temperatures, smoke detectors etc It can switch off the smart plug when something goes outside the normal range to kill the power to the printers. Has proven usefull once so far when a wire got damaged.
That's a great idea!
Could you tell us that make and model IR motion sensor? I can't seem to find it.
I use NFC tags to automate my printers power system. And my printer firmware can control wled which is nice for print status stuff
Oh sweet. I need to add the wled to mine!
Oh, *Octoprint* also runs on an old Android phone. It's called _Octo4a_ and I've been running it for a month on my new Ender, and it is a great use for recycling tech.
That's cool!
The light cube looks like a borg cube.
It does! That's why I was using the green color and I forgot to mention that in the video.
Been there.. and on shit!! It’s 7:00 and I’ve been on fusion 360 for 6 hours I need to start dinner haha.
非常不错的想法
please can i have the link for that cube but also my ender 3 only does well with white filement i dont know why
Watching this as my Ender 3 pro print something I designed.
I have the ender 3 pro i believe and i have a issue wheren the extruder might have been destroyed with fillament not coming out. Worked like a charm with the test filament it came with but then i bought some fillaments from amazon in exact same mm thickness and now it has not been used for months. But a suggestion i would like to give you is you can do mounts for pictures or anything else that is practical to use. The first thing i printed was a stadia logo and it went well. I would have to get someone looking on my printer at some time. So i can get started to print usefull things i want to use every day. You can even do tablet holders or ornaments for your christmas tree. Its clode to be only your imagination that sets the limits.
Check your extruder arm! The factory one is plastic and likes to crack. Replace with an all aluminum one. Also make sure your nozzle is hot enough for the filament you are trying to use. I had one recently that I got, 200 (my normal print temp) wasn’t near hot enough. 220-230 was recommended temps from manufacture for that filament.
Another common one is heat creeping up the heat break and causing the filament to begin melting prematurely. This will usually result in the break clogging. You can try to push the clog out (it’s hard) or look into a new heat break. I have one from slice engineering. CHEP has a video on it. Actually he has a good video on the ender 3 overall. Lot of stuff to look at and things to watch out for.
th-cam.com/video/tYbL-O3FecY/w-d-xo.html
There’s a video to watch about heat break
Great ! Sorry, this off topic, but do you know of a gas water solution and / or to control the Hayward Variable Pool Pumps? Are the only two things that I'm missing in my smart home here in AZ. I'm using Home Assistant.
RasberryPi microcontroller, if you need 12v you can setup a relay to accept 5v switching.
@01:12 I mean... I'm not saying you have to buy a *Mitutoyo AOS * for 125.- but man do I _never_ regret having bought one after buying a cheapo one first... I got the Mitutoyo like 2y ago and it is still running the Batteries it shipped with _despite_ me constantly forgetting to turn it off whereas the cheapo ones - with a friggin' auto off timer?! - probably having run through like 10 batteries in the same time frame which gets old really fast when you need to measure something but it's out of juice.
Is fusion 360 still free for personal? I cant seem to find the personal free license
Great Video!
Thanks for the mention.
I just got 3 Ender 3 S1 Pro printers they are great so far. I hope that you have inspired even more people to get a printer and learn how to solve simple problems with it. And if all you print is other peoples designs you are missing out on a great feeling of taking an idea from your head to a physical working device in just a few hours.
Great video, thanks! Would you mind sharing your .stl file for your Aqara contact sensor/garage door bracket?
FWIW, I did something similar for a garage door sensor just using a cheap hinge.
@@ToniHinton Thanks Toni
what LED strip/smart controller are you using for the cube lamp?
I just threw in some TP Link light strips since I had some extra. I may swap them out for some RGBIC multicolor light strips though. Anything in that cube is going to look good though.
I made the puzzle a month ago lol
The most fun but irritating thing is that you can design models to fit your exact needs, which makes it really hard to share and get it to others that want that exact model
Welcome to the addiction...errr I mean hobby 🤣
That holder for the ThirdReality motion sensor is neat.
Kudos for being able to design your own models. I have lots of ideas but just software design is my thing, not model design.
It's feeling like an addiction! I still have a lot to learn about the model design side of things. It's fun though!
I love the “Aeotec Multisensor 6” even as expensive as they are since you can plug them in and never replace the battery. So I’d love to mount “Aeotec Multisensor 6” to a USB plug and manage the cord. I’ve looked and I have not found anything.
That's on my list of stuff to make! The way I have mine attached doesn't look as good as it could be.
Surprising Aeotec is making them and charging $30 like the ceiling mounts that don’t evan have power.
LMAO Reed ya busted me up! "You can just open Fusion 360 and make it"
No, I can't! =D There's the part where you have to learn Fusion 360. ; )
Haha yeah there is a learning curve with Fusion 360. Sometimes I'm feel like I'm figuring out Fusion 360 and other times I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing lol!
Hello. I have an idea for an invention. Will this printer help me achieve that?
hey a quick question what filament do you use
I've just been using this stuff amzn.to/3kLGnLN from SUNLU it had high ratings on Amazon and I haven't had any issues with it.
Almost 500k subs and F360 No-commercial license, no wonder they are pulling a plug
Hi, what motion sensor are you using on the bedside table?
This inexpensive ZigBee sensor amzn.to/38YlhYe from ThirdReality
@@SmartHomeSolver thank you!
too much Star Trek mate....base for echo night stand is the starship enterprise....and the cube is like a Borg cube!Can u print a Seven of Nine now?
Haha it does look like the nterprise and Borg cube!
You simply pull your hair out learning CAD and fusion 360.
Hi
Hey Reed, not sure if you've considered selling shirts, hoodies, etc, but may work out for you for extra income 🤷♂️ great vids!
I have considered it but I didn't pull the trigger. Maybe one day.
@@SmartHomeSolver well now you can 3d print some shirts!
After getting a 3D printer, everything looks like it has to be solved with the 3D printer.
no. don't do that :)
Why don’t you print your notification box with a 3d version of your logo instead ??
That's a good idea!
"...it's pretty easy... you get a caliper... then you can JUST... use Fusion 360... then just print it... "
WOW. Talk about false representation. None of those steps are "just that easy" and you know it.
Okay Fusion 360 isn't an "easy" program to use because there is so much you can do with it. But doing something very simple like making a box to hold a motion sensor is not difficult. So yes I shouldn't have said it's pretty easy and instead said it's "not difficult".
I would love a notification when gas price goes up or USA invades another country. I'd use some screams sound FX to add more drama.
