Even for this kind of applications 70%-90% of infill is fine. You get your part strength mainly through the outer walls. So the number of outer lines is more important. The 70%-90% infill will still leave a small gap for some access material to flow into.
@@FrankieKennedyFab I am a mechanical engineer and 3D printing is a hobby for me too. The most strength is being created by the outer most shell of the object. That´s why hollow tubes have about 10% less strength than full material but weigh about 80% less. That´s exactly how 3D printing works as well. Honestly my max infill technical parts are about 30% infill. If the part breaks it is not the infill it is the part design which sucks.
If you had some thicker sheet, you could make a washer large enough to spread the force across the whole die both sides- even allow it to be used in the vise easier
Yeah I definitely need some better hardware to make it work but I was just ready to try it 🤣 if I had a press I would set it all up correctly. Either way it worked awesome!
3D prints are pretty strong depending on the orientation and material. for a project i designed a clamp that could hold 100+ kg of weight the test rig couldnt measure more
to get much more resilient prints use a bigger nozzle like 1 mm instead of 0.4 mm (go up to line width 1.8 mm) and higher your layer hight like 0.6 mm and rise your temperature +10°-+15°. this will even lower your print time ;-)

Oh I’m not offended at all! I say it in my other videos all the time. I tend to ramble and want to fit far to much into my videos. It’s a work in progress haha

That’s a pretty good tip! I’m a metal guy haha 3D printing is more of a hobby for me but it’s a useful tool for sure!

Thanks for the file location! Going to print one for myself.
Do it! Let me know how it goes!
This can also be resized in cura or your choice of slicer.
Yup! I have the simplify3d!

Dang that’s awesome! I’m pretty stoked to try out more tool type prints
An interesting concept, while I don't need this yet I may in the future. Thanks for the testing
Glad you like the video!

Oh dang! Those are some good tips I appreciate it!
Great idea. Just need to print some hole punches 😊

A large vice might work. Maybe a bookbinding press. But it would be nice to be able to complete it with something like a bessey clamp.
I tried a small vise on my workbench first but it didn’t quite fit. It would definitely work with a bigger one though!
a car jack can make a pretty decent makeshift press.
what about using hardwood /mdf in a lathe and see how that works
That would be an interesting test for sure! I would think the wood would crack from the pressure but you never know!
cool!
A three minute video turned into 19 minutes.
Yeah I have a tendency to do that
