I am confident that no one needs to tell you how cool this is... but. This is Awesome!!!
that's damn impressive, I love the possibilities that this unlocks. For a smaller garage/workshop, it might be even enough to make two that are half of the depth of this one, to fi 1 row of bins instead of 2, and still have a countertop extension like you've done. Good job man, very skilled (I love 3D printing but haven't done the jump to buy one yet. This is a showcase of an actual use case that's worth buying it for)
Depends what the bench is for. If you do woodworking, the last thing you want is open bins or shelves. All they do is collect sawdust.
you might want to work on your dust collection
@@thefilthelement No, I have a central dust collector as well as air filter. It's a woodshop, stuff still gets dusty in a home shop. Even if you capture 99% of the dust, there's still 1% that gets everywhere. Hell, your own hope gets dusty even without a shop.
@@larrybud upgrade to a two stage system, even a Harbor Freight system will keep you dust free.
@@thefilthelement that's what I have bro.
Woodworking and 3D printing are my favorites!👍
An amazing build.
Protip for those of you who want all those 80/20 parts, but have a strong need to eat on a regular basis. All of the brackets are available as STL files on the McMaster Carr website. Unless you have a structural need for the metal brackets, the plastic version you print out will work just fine.
Very good design, I like it!
You're a freaking genius.....with lots of time on his hands.....
Starts like you're assembling a giant 3D printer 😎
It looks very nice and everything, but if you are going to be making the thre part bench and the router lift using either 30x30 or 40x40 extruded aluminium rails it's not going to be inexpensive, especially if you do not already own a suitable 3d printer, so about $65 (sale price) for the 3 patterns from your site, $400 for the cheapest of your suggested 3D printers, if you are using 30 x 30 aluminium thats about $400 (for everything to build 3 benches more for 40x40) then theres 8 castors, the mdf for tabletops and sides, plus the various Ikea boxes, angle brackets, t-nuts and filament to print all the bits. The design is not bad, but in a dusty workshop there will soon be dust everywhere
Yeah, I was mentally adding it all up and thinking it's extremely expensive way to make a workbemch.
you will get to reuse all the materials at the end of life@@Bugman82773
exactly right on all counts. none of this is either practical or cost effective. the only "makers" that would like this workbench and those who "make" youtube videos, not actual creators.
Nice job, your grasshopper script needs major organization lol what a nest!
very nice versatile design 10/10 thanks for sharing
I love this and it gave me some ideas for what I want from a workbench. My only suggestion is that you might want to change how you store your file. Eventually it will file through that slot as you pull it out and put it back.
Massive props…Love this system. I was thinking about building something similar, inspired by the interior equipment compartments on the fire trucks I work with. They are all based on 4040 profiles, thick phenol resin board, diamond plate stainless steel and Delrin plastics. They are extremely simple. Expensive, yes. But rock solid. Because that stuff ain’t gonna be treated gently. It has to be „grunt proof“. For home use, this build looks pretty much perfect. I would probably replace the 3D printed parts with machined Delrin where possible (I have access to a CNC mill). But the stainless steel would make this ridiculously expensive so wood is totally OK.
Awesome bench!!! Best I have seen on the internet!
4:59 here you can make or print a drawer block that you can hook or place in the middle where between the drawer of each side, you can prvent from pushing the drawer at the other side out accidently, i found this idea on the ikea norden table, it use a wooden plug at the middle as a drawer stop
AMAZING PROJEST... Loved the sound track...
and the parts you used were very intelligent.
I love this. I am not smart enough to make it or plan it like you did but you showed it off well. First-time viewer, subbed. Never would have thought to sand down the little metal nub on the corner holder.
That drill was so satisfying 😂
This is so amazing, i love it. These Profils are so expensive 🙈
I just started dived deep into woodworking and now you present me this 3d stuff. GET OUT"!!!
I'm so building one of these when I get my workshop built, amazing.
I just love crispy MDF
Bought the files and only after realized just how expensive all the parts are to source. Not economically friendly if you’re thinking about building this.
Do they mention where to source the aluminum rail? Thanks
That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the extruded aluminium rail. It’s a great material, but could be an expensive product. You could try adapting the design and use L profile rail instead?
How expensive are we talking about
Customization isn’t usually cheap
How about a plan and a parts list
might need to try with wood instead of aluminum profile, great idea!
This is 8020 modular tubing that you can purchase at any hardware retailer or online.
Thank you. I knew the comments section would sort this out for me.
It is not cheap but it is very solid when using the proper hardware, it is used in industry alot.
Hello, Wow, Brilliant, I love it. I am impressed. Someday, I would have it anytime. I would buy it…both Sets… like that.
Incredible Video. Camerawork, pace, and of course the end product. I will be making this.
This is so cool! The perrrrr-fect modular dream. Hmm. Nice.
amazing build!!! I want these! Now I actually WANT a 3d printer. I have a laser cutter. Soon all I'll need is a pulsing brain.
This video just convinced me that I need to buy a 3d printer 0.o
I love the idea! Hate to say that I was thinking of this for a while but did you watch Alex the French Guy video about building a workstation? His idea is for his kitchen but I see it being great workbench for makers! I’m so happy to see your video. I have been interested in extruded aluminum but other than joining the bars together, I never figured out how to install paneling. Thanks for answering my question!
Nice to see Rhino & Grasshopper are being used for your 3D prints.
Very cool. If i had more room I'd make a2x4 version of this.
Honestly I think dimensionally lumber is a better choice.
I think it’s 80/20 Tslot aluminum channel. We’ve used it at work.
Looks really good!
Although those profiles are super expensive to get as a consumer.
That's about $500 in 30x30 not including a ton of t-nuts and bolts which aren't cheap either. That build is close to $900 all in. Not worth it, even if it is novel.
The economics for TH-camrs and those that sell plans are very different than for regular people.
@@almonster2066
The first link I found gave a price of 186 USD for all the profiles and the t-nuts/t-bolts gets it up to roughly 200 which is what I would roughly assume the cost would be, so unsure where you got the 500 figure from. Thats for one of those carts, perhaps you where thinking of all three?
@@tonymeijer8532 They often add double in shipping costs as the length is to long for normal packages.
@@tonymeijer8532 $200 for all the profiles, brackets, t-nuts and bolts to build one cart? Share the link.
That just made my day, amazing job!
I like it, and it's a cool design. I'll likely do a simple plywood version in the future! Modularity is the key, I'm finding.
And wood is cheaper and easier to work with. The extruded aluminum t-slot are kind of cool but really expensive especially all the extra hardware you will need.
Really nicely done. However, I'm not sure what type of "maker" this is for? Seems great if you're doing something like lots of electronics assembly?
That's way beyond awesome
best i have seen yet
That’s ridiculous!!!! I love it!!!!
Yet another great video. I have some aluminum lying around from old 3d printers and I'm in need of a new bench! This came out the perfect time
You'll need more than a few bits from a printer!!
This is cool, but you could replace all the aluminum channels with 2x2 lumber and wood screws for probably 1/4 the price.
Amazing Very good design practical and versatile
Those alu profiles are really worthwhile for companies who want do build something fast. Like prototypes or one off builds. But they are ridiculously expensive for private persons.
My thoughts exactly. Wanna do something cool for your home workshop? First you'll need $1k in materials...
As soon as I saw those, I knew the comments would light up. What joke is "maker" used to mean budget.
There is about 28m of 3030 aluminium extrusion for this project. It's about 9$ a meter. So the extrusions are about 250 dollars. If you count the screws and bolts you can add an extra 50$.
300 dollar is not that expensive for this project. I don't think you can make a frame much cheaper out of wood that meet the structural requirement.
@@gaetanclamart5963 The manual, when I purchased it, specifies 4040, which is even more expensive. These are rough to ship, given that a useful length probably exceeds FedEx/UPS shipping preferences.
I'm looking at $500 before I even get into connectors, which can cost 50%-100% of that!
Reallly comes down to if one of the half-dozen companies selling it in the US is in your metro area.
arent the profiles 40x40? @@gaetanclamart5963
Love the watch
Looks to good to be true! Take my money!
what a great video, awesome job!
Looking nice, but it has 2 BUTS.
1 printed hooks- very fragile, will be broken regularly when you push bench against the wall, catch it with something like a pocket in baggy trousers.
2. How durable is that? Especially those printed connections? What if you will whack a hammer or in? What about fitting a vice and then apply significant force?
Fragile thing. But looking good on TH-cam
Nice bench
awesome design, almost exactly what I am looking for.
LOVE IT. Expensive much??
I feel like if the "drawers" were optionally on a per drawer were gridfinity compatible on a per drawer basis, this thing would see insane adoption
This is not based on a standard cheap IKEA shelving unit. All these aluminium sections will cost you more than an off-the shelf MFT bench you can customise!
I haven't been able to find any extruded aluminum systems with Ikea
Nice design but the aluminum rail stock and associated fitting are expensive. There are various manufacturers who produce extrusions from aluminum but as parents would have it, rails and fittings are not interchangeable for the most part.
Hi amazing work bench. Would a track saw rail be possible on the sides along where the slots are on the metal frame? Which product are the metal frames from at ikea? Thanks
Man... try using the 3d printed Gridfinity stuff, can totally see it
Exceptional creativity. Very nice.
Awesome build 👍
wonderful!
I also have a McMaster-Carr catalogue.
This is so beautiful, genius job, fantastic, I love it!:D
Wooo quite amount of tools from China😃
Which part of this makes it Ikea?
What a great concept and build.
crazy good
커스텀 하기 좋은 디자인입니다.^^
It's like comparing Windows, that would be a Festool system with Linux, this system but in a makier world. It's really amazing how much thought has been put in the design process. Stunning.
Awesome job!
Can you tell me wich cad software you used?
Thk
Have you tried putting some of the magnets on the bottom part of the carts, so you can have better distirbuition of the magnetic force and loose the little "jiggle" between the two tops? Love your work, the creativity and relentlessness are inspiring!
Tool holder panels
did you make them? did you use a laser? What kind of lego did you use, MDF?
Cool idea
PERFECT!!!!! I LOVE IT!! Thank you for sharing.
Anyone want to take a guess on the width of the aluminum extrusion tubing that he is using? The internet is full of 20mm x 20mm square aluminum tubing but it appears he is using wider tubing in his project.
Would like some explanations, measurements, parts list etc. Did not understand much.
What's the approximate material cost not counting filaments and containers? Need to know the cost before I can commit to paying for a design.
Look up at other comments. If you already have the tools, including a printer, the channel and associated parts are likely to cost you upwards of $500-600 USD plus shipping if you can't get it locally. All-in this is probably $900+ build (again not including tools like a 3D printer)
seems like a cool set up but man the waste of hardware is crazy i even noticed you not placing all of the screws. I could not imagine what the cost to build this would be. Some where in the 5 k range+?
My thoughts as well. I applaud it as a proof of concept project. But as a retired industrial design engineer my eyes were glazing over at the probable final cost of this bench. Especially considering how square steel tubing and a bit of welding (low equipment cost and a relatively easy skill to master ) could build a very similar and sturdier result for considerably less money.
Klasse, sowas wäre was für mich,denke die Teile sind bestimmt nicht günstig zu bekommen
would love to make one of these for my lathe stuff, but dont have the tools to do it myself
Love this!!! Really nice!!!
What size extrusion is that ? 40x40? Also how do you cut it? Miter with a metal blade work?
bought the plans, it requires over 11,300cm of total 4040 extrusion. unless you get this at bulk discount that alone is over 400 dollars based on quick research. i'd love to build this but that's pretty expensive.
amazing design!
so maybe 1000$ bench ? using node red for parametric modeling for 3d printed parts
so cool
I love this channel. But where can I put in requests for different types of tools that can be three d printed?
awesome!
what is that square metal thing called, thank you
I would think the magnetic connections would get stronger the closer you get them to the edges of the table, wouldnt they?
You are probably right , I just didn’t even think about it, thank you
would be nice to have a link as to where i could get the materials, aftyer about 15 minutes searching i think i found the name of the rails. its called "T-Slotted Aluminum Linear Slot Bar Rail" they're not hard to find but kind of annoying if you live in a place where shipping is weird. now im hunting down the fittings
Wonderful
Overall I like the design but for a woodshop it would be better to find a way to put a lid on the slide out drawers. Those will fill with dust in no time.
Can we have the name of the ikea system ? Or a link ? I dont' find on the ikea website. Thx.
I can now confirm he just put the IKEA logo on, so that to make the video more attractive.
Good vid!
The link in the description, is that for just the STLs or is there also plans for the workbench included?
What ikea components are used?
Damn that's lot of flush cutters
