- Moving house is a pain. It’s particularly a pain when you have a vast collection of 3D printers and other manufacturing equipment, it gets a lot harder. In this video I take you through my move, but focus mainly on setting everything up to be the ultimate home makerspace. This includes custom 3D printed and laser cut parts.
Please leave feedback on the new studio and camera angle. The microphone is closer so I think the audio is better. However, I think I need a bit more light on my face and maybe less on the back wall to let the RGB lights stand out more.
Some people wanted links to some of the items shown:
Spotlight mount (lights tab then right click on parts to export in a format of your choice): cad.onshape.com/documents/ac3...

Some people wanted the STLs and links to the work bench products. I have added links to the description. Thanks for all of the well wishers!
If you're looking for something to bring the backdrop to life, something like peel-and-stick faux brick tiles will recreate the look of your old space fairly inexpensively. If you're looking to keep the new space distinct, you can also get peel-and-stick wood panels, which will similarly add character to the backdrop while making it clear that you're in a new space.
Or he could simply use wallpapers. So much cheaper than any other solution, available in tons of patterns and if one gets bored of them, they can be replaced just as easy. Idk how expensive those may be in Australia, but here in Germany you can get awesome looking ones for 7-15€ at Tedox.
@@SchwachsinnProduzent wallpaper is an option, but wallpapers lack texture, which is one of the things that made the brick wall so interesting.
@@marchingknight11 Wallpapers actually do have textures. You are usually limited to a maximum of one or two millimetres difference between high and low spots. But fake brick wallpaper looks surprisingly convincing from a distance, especially on photos.
I actually used these “dummy brick” walls on a build. You would just cut the sheet to size and peel in stick. It costed me like $50+ an easy install.
Or get some sound damping tiles and use double sided easy release tape to set them in a pattern at the back of the shot? Can't hurt acoustics, adds some texture, and packs of those ten or a dozen of them can be had for cheap online these days, comes off without damaging paint if it doesn't look right.
Congrats on the new place.
I converted an attached garage to a studio/3d printing room last year and this year I'm working on a Resurrecting a wrecked Travel Trailer to be a mobile studio/maker space.
Its great to finally have space for when you need it.
What a happy video to watch. The new, larger space, lots of storage, dedicated resin printing space and the organisation, oh what fun see! Congratulations to you and your family on your new home!
Thank you so much!
This looks excellent! A "tidy" or "organized" maker space is the holy grail that I'll never find but you've given me lots of inspiration. Great video and congratulations on the move.
Congratulations. I understand the excitement, I am currently having a custom house built and I get my own "Man cave"
I love your work Michael clear and simple!
I recently purchased a 100w CO2 laser also, I cant believe how great it has been in helping me create storage solutions and shelving.
I've had it for a while and this is the biggest project I've done with it. Silly me. With better ply storage and more room to work I hope to use it for more projects in future.
What CO2 laser did you end up going with, if I may ask?
I'd be interested in knowing what laser it is also please.
Congratulations on the new home and the new work environment. One thing that I really like about your channel is that you show practical uses for 3D printing and other tools.
Great work!
My best tip for cable storage is ziplock bags. IKEA do em cheap and they great. No more tangles and way to find and see!
can't wait for michael digging videos
So far I've only dug up a tennis ball but who knows what lies beneath the surface?
Very nice. Congrats on the move. Can't wait to see how you get the new space built out.
I love your no-nonse approach putting functionality above all else and really utilizing your engineerig skills and your available tools to make something that fits the job rather than to just buy something. Very inspiring!
Outstanding space Michael. Looks great.
Interesting under house area. Here in Kansas, U.S.A., we need to test for Radon gas seeping into living spaces from basements and crawl spaces (like your under house area). We would use a rubber or
vinyl membrane to seal against the earth and sides of the structure. Then vent the space under the membrane to the exterior air, high in the air. Radon is heavier than air, odorless, colorless, and carcinogenic. For basement, we vent the underside of the basement slab floor.
Wishing you well in your endeavors!
I really like the light/dark juxtaposition of the laser cut plywood drawers.
Thanks, me too. I purposely didn't sand anything but the sides to leave this effect.
Aha, just what I needed. I finally got some "muscle rack" shelves for all the (kindly donated) 3D printers, and now I have to figure out how to make a good electronics and printer testing workspace with proper organized storage. Let the tips begin…!
if the back wall is an issue an easy economical solution is vinyl wrapping, or a cladding it with reclaimed wood(real or mimicked), or just a different paint plus vinyl to add your own pop. just ideas, but love what you have done with the new space!
I plan on moving in the next few months and this is a great video for ideas on how to set things up when that finally happens. My 3D printing area started off pretty simple - I found an old microwave stand at a thrift shop and put my Ender 3 on top, the filament storage box in the center open shelf, and other parts and things in the cabinet below - but after getting an Artillery Sidewinder I ended up needing more furniture to hold everything. The record player stand the Sidewinder lives on isn't as handy as the microwave stand, where I now have multiple plastic totes just sitting around holding parts and supplies, and thanks to Prime Day I'll be getting my first resin printer real soon...lots of good ideas here, though, that I fully intend on stealing as necessary.
Congrats on the move and thanks for the behind-the-scenes peek at the setup process!
Exciting news and looking forward to seeing more in the new space!
Great Video Michael,moving is no fun.Keep up the great content.
Well, I'm exhausted after watching that. Phew.
I lost 6kg and counting from the physical effort. A nice bonus :)
Now there's a ready-made collaboration, Teaching Tech and Colin Furze! Colin LOVES tunneling, he'll make quick work of that second room 😉 Move looks grest!
I don't have the luxury of buying a new bigger space but, this has greatly improved my designing skills for my 3DP's, CO2 laser, and essential parts/tools making my little space much better for all my needs. Great job and best wishes for your new place!
Beautiful tribute to our idol Ayrton Senna, Tks.😉😉🤝🏎🏎Your Tips have already helped me a lot, including with the CR-30.
That seems like a lot of work, but if you break a sweat (which, as it seems you always do!), then it for sure all will look even better
I really enjoyed the journey into the new space. Great to get ideas for my own little workshop area. I'd recommend some wall covering with a little visual interest behind you. Something like faux brick or faux wood paneling, etc.
Perfectly timed!!! I'm setting up my maker space finally with my wife this weekend!!! Putting her sewing and project stuff in with my fdm printers and tools! Was good fun having this play while we set up our space!!!!
congratulations on the new maker space looks like it will be a nice space when done
Looks awesome! You've obviously done a huge amount of work, and it shows!
Congratulations on the new space!
Been following you since you started 4 years ago and it is awesome to see you finally have a place tailor made for you. Cant wait to see what you create now and looking forward to the sort of content you can come up with...
Congratulations on your new makerspace /studio! Looks great Michael.
Just a quick tip. Make sure your power system is up to the task if you have all of that plugged in and working it may be an issue.
Thanks for this video. I too am setting up a new space and this give me a lot to think over.
Very nice new workplace!
I liked the brick wall buddy. You gotta do something with your new wall for us a.d.h.d. folks to wander off with our eyes once in awhile :)
This feels like a video that maybe won't do as good but I'm actually so interested in this more than 3d printer videos haha. I just moved and will be moving again in months and I'll only have more printers so I'm excited for the video haha
Congrats on the new place!
Wow, you have your work cut out for you. Congrats on the move and can't wait to see more videos from you.
Nice workspace, enjoy your new place
Amazing work and congratulations on the new place 👏
I like the new setup, its super clean and way more professional looking. Honestly the brick was a little drab. Congrats on the new space. I got to get out of the garage and move my printing area and studio to a larger part of the house earlier this year and its nice having more space. Now I just need more time to make videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this video, You have me some great ideas for my 3D room. Job well done
Congrats on your new space!
Wow!!!! I have no words .... Thx for sharing. ☺
When I got my first 3d printer about a month ago, I didn't have a proper place to put it, so I took it as an opportunity to do some upgrades. I built my own wooden workbench, renovated the garage, and optimized and added some new storage to it. It's a great (and cozy) work area now that is enjoyable and motivating to be in!
Aptly timed video - about to move myself. While I don't have the volume of parts or tools that you do, a lot of the organization ideas will carry over. Thanks for the video!
The person with the most toys at the end wins, I think you are well on your way to a podium finish! I will be looking to take inspiration from this for my own space.
I wish I was so creative in you tube as you
I started out the same time as you. And I can relate
To all the clobber needed to make such
And beyond with cnc milling and lathe machines and milling machines
Anyway as we out age our property due to space
I do wish I could afford the expansion
For which I can afford
And so I congratule you for what you have achieved
One day I may but untill then I wil still keep watching you evolve
Just here to say that jacket is dope af and I want it
an improvement from my side would be a third spotlight, located behind you/the Prusa. the middle looks bare now so it would fill up the space quite well, plus you could work with some color accents for presentation in the future.
Also, an idea would be something like a subscriber counter, like many other TH-camrs have already, located between the X3D sign and the Playbutton since that space is also quite empty. this could also be fixed by relocating the teaching tech logo. it would be more prominent than what I support since it's a good and beautiful eyecatcher.
Thanks for the considered feedback.
@@TeachingTech my pleasure
Btw with the purple you've hit the golden spot imo. It just works so well
Heated stairs! nice!
Kick Ass! Looks really good! Can’t wait to see what you create in the new space! Between 3D printing, my laser cutter, RC airplanes, my Nova(muscle car) my K5 (4x4) I’m in desperate need of organizing, and probably throwing away a lot of crap!😂😂🤣
This was Fun !
Prove that your career is getting better and better.😁
Congrats man!
For venting the laser, if that room has normal windows, I dunno about where you are but in the USA you can buy things meant for cloths dryers that fit into a window opening and you close the window down on top of that so you dont need an open doorway. Especially in six months when I am sure AU heats up quite a bit.
Im late to posting, but Clcongrats on the new home and shop! Id love to have a fraction of the post processing tools that you have such as the tumbler. Quick tip about the table saw or any saws, have the blade protrude past the thickness of the material that is being cut just a bit. That way more teeth of the blades are removing material than just a few blades.
Can't imagine how many trips you made to Bunnings!
Great video
Some sound damping would made a good addition
Thanks for sharing your tour :-)
Well I'm going to be moving all the way across the country.. But I will have a full basement instead of an upstairs loft. I'm. Hoping to really get setup properly there. Glad you got it how you wanted it to be.
Great Video!
You should make a giant vinyl wrap for the rear wall. Put something fun on there!
Your videos are great, you definitely deserve more subscribers
👍👍nice new place
Nice Work Dude! I had no idea you were moving! Looks great tho! - Catch up soon !
for the extra room see if you can get a handheld demolition hammer or SDS drill with a rock bit. it will be loud bit SOOO much faster then swinging that pick in that space. once the soil is broken up it will be much easier to get into buckets or a wheely bin. as for the back drop could you source some wall paper that might have a brick look or maybe some faux brick paneling?
EPIC hoodie!
2:36 Stairs are perfect for 1KG roll storage. Add shelves to the back of every tread/rise
Great video Michael!! I'm sure you're loving your new makerspace!! I would love to have that kind of room!! It was awesome meeting you in person (well sort of) on Jerry's live stream today! Thanks for making such great videos! Keep up the amazing work! 😊
How's the echo in the room??. You can make a 3d frame for sound dampening... and put some LED at the back .. maybe? ...
Ooh Congratz on your new office..🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
The mic is closer to my mouth with the new mounts so I think reverb is cut. I'm still considering more stuff on the walls and some sound dispersing foam on the roof to cut it down more.
Safety warning for your basement dig: Many places use that heavy plastic liner with rocks over it for a big reason. Radon (probably not in Aus) and moisture control. It's called a vapor barrier and you should make sure you replace with a suitable replacement for your needs. If you don't, you'll get mold problems in not too visible areas of your walls and it'll be just an ugly and unhealthy mess after the years pass.
Love it 😎😎👍👍👍
Would love to see a video of converting under your house to another shop! Wanting to do the same thing at my house and need inspiration
Now I just need to find a house this big!
Looks awesome Michael! real happy for ya, I think It wont be long before you will have to move your workshop into a proper warehouse lol
Good job as always, very inspiring ! These LEDs are efficient and easy to pimp a white wall, but that's also why we can see them eeeeeeverywhere. Please go wild. paint the wall green, make the light uniform, and show a green screen effect on the whole background. Could be "augmented-reality" like a virtual poster, or just a plain image for ambiance, maybe even animations...
It may happen to be too much work or even technically impossible, but that's my raw naive 2cts idea ^^
I have a big pull down green screen I previously purchased. I am planning to mount it at the top of that wall so what you are suggesting is quite possible. I have no intention of doing it for every video though.
@@TeachingTech Seems easier in many ways haha 👍
Stackable milk crates for best space managing for part rarely used.
Fantastic setup! In terms of replicating the wall texture, there's adhesive foam panels that looks like bricks that can be an effective replacement, particularly when lit with the RGB lights. On that note, any STL available for the downlight mounts?
Awesome stuff dude, jealous AF
Nice Senna hoodie!
No more cicada noise on the mic :)
Looks great, maybe as a homage to the old space get brick looking wallpaper, also have a look at GridFinity gear (by Zack Freedman) to organise your space think it would work great and is 3D printed
Hey Michael! Love the new space - how many hours have gone into moving just the maker space part of your old studio?
If I had any suggestion for adding character to your new primary studio filming backdrop: add a bunch of small shelves! This would kill 2 or 3 birds with one stone - you can use the shelving as additional storage space while also functioning to display maybe some of the cooler pieces you’ve created, funny failures, rare/specialized/odd tools or machines etc (you could also add LED lighting under the shelf pointing at the wall as well!). There’s a lot of flexibility and variation in shelving, so it could do a lot towards adding character and color to the wall while also providing more storage!
You could add the some GridFinity organizers to store your smaller parts in some drawers
I need to clean out my old grow room that I don't use anymore and make a printer room
Personally i like the plain white wall instead of the bricks…it makes the background look lighter. You could always greenwall it to put something else in with your video editing software. ? Audience photos? Aussie Outback scenes etc? Laurie NZ.
You could look into #gridfinifty for your drawer/worktop organization
Wow the setup is already looking great, and while I rent here, some of your designs are already giving me ideas for non-invasive things I can do in my space. Thanks for sharing!
Are you thinking of concreting the underfloor power tools space? Also - are you going to make sure there's a really strong door to secure the tools? Asking because power tools seem to be crook magnets, they love them some of someone else's hard won equipment. I left a cheap battery drill, just sitting on a drum, and not all that easy to spot from the road, went inside to have a cuppa and bingo - gone in less than 15 minutes. I now put my tools back in the shed and lock the door when I have smoko.
get a big vinyl wrap or something with your teaching tech logo on it to put on the wall maybe
I have a vinyl cutter and was considering a black line art pattern based on my logo. Need to find the balance between interesting and subtle.
The wife said a Nanoleaf would look great give you some texture on the back wall to
Great looking new studio, are you going to make the stl for the spotlight brackets available for the public? They look brilliant 👍🇦🇺😊
Are there links to any of the custom prints also? great video lots of great ideas for my shed
Could you try to build a printer from all the stuff you have just lying around? I'd love to see that as kind of a challenge - even if you don't succeed it would be interesting to see how you tackle any occuring problems during the build itself!
Edit: The new space looks awesome btw!
6:51 I want to know more about that filament extruder and that dryer . What's that red machine at 7:04 ?
I suggest you paint the back wall a bright green...something that doesn't match anything else in the room...then you can green screen the back wall to be what ever you want... to start with it could be simple brick but in the future you would use it like a monitor showing off things in the background of your videos.
Any chance someone knows of a US equivalent of that Bunnings Rack-It system? That looks like a perfect solution for a garage makeover I've been hoping to tackle soon.
Is your table saw the Bayer/evolution one?
What gauge of steel are your nice black shelving rack units?
