Great video! Have you ever tried 3D designing and printing a splitting machine which uses cutter knife blades? I think that may be a game changer in the budget of everyone starting with leathercraft.
Thanks! I have seen some printed strap cutters but I do wonder whether a splitting machine could be made strong enough from printed materials. I can already think of some ideas for a simplified version and might give designing it a go in the future.
Excellent topic. I was 3d printing before I got into leather craft so it was natural for me to make some tools, jigs, and patterns using that skill. I hadn't though of that offset jig, though. I'll be making a couple of those today, thanks!
One of my most useful prints is simple rectangular bars for marking off various margins: 5mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm. Glue spatulas are also nice. 90-degree bump jigs, too.
A pullout board is almost necessary on extra thick leather if you're chiseling all the way through. Even with finely polished irons. I made my own out of a piece of scrap wood with a 1/4 gap then scorched it with a torch and then oiled with boiled linseed oil. It was simple with a hacksaw and some sandpaper.
I have used that type of applicator and I think the end spinning smoothly is really important, that might be hard to achieve with printed parts. I did order a Ender 3 V2 recently so I will definitely be able to try out all sorts of parts.
Looks like TH-cam didn't like your comment and autodeleted it. I only saw the preview that said you use TinkerCAD. I am trying to use FreeCAD but it is very different to the style of CAD I am used to with NanoCAD and AutoCAD.
@@TeranAtelier I just wrote that with my basic CAD skills, I use TC and am looking forward to seeing what you use. I don't know why this comment was auto deleted.
@@TeranAtelier Thank you for executing it so well. I'm amazed you were able to get good prints immediately from a printing service. I've got to print a few attempts before I get the print I want. But your CAD skills are much better than mine.
Thank you so much for your continuing support! I plan to launch an etsy and patreon in January which will hopefully provide some funds to buy new equipment. How did your new edge creaser turn out?
For the printing I just left the parts as solid and let the printing shop handle the rest. I think the height/depth of the raised text and embossed text was too much at 2mm. I need to play around with it more to get it just right.
I am still trying out different software, I used FreeCAD and AutoCAD for these parts but I recommend to try Fusion 360 as it is the most popular 3D printing design software at the moment.
None of those links work. 🙄😒☹😠 I even tried searching the phrase you gave them. Please provide - hyperlinks - to each item. The only thing I'm getting is "404" you've reached the end of thingi verse!!!

Thanks! I really like designing printed parts as they can be very versatile. I plan to explore this topic a lot more.

I will have to try them too once I get better access to a printer.
You are a real innovator my friend !! keep it up !
Thank you! Cheers!
Really Excellent. Thank you. I will give them a go on my older CR10
Thanks! I think 3D printing can complement leathercraft very well.

That sounds really good, I expect it to be stronger than a printed one.
Thanks for sharing these very useful tips. Wish I have know them earlier when I first start out.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great. You could even do three of these with a laser cutter and creative depth cuts. 🤔 I may make a video of this actually.
Thanks! Laser cutting is an area I would like to explore in future but more along the lines of cutting and marking up leather.
Amazing tools collection.
Thanks 👍
A coffee-stirrer type conical paint spreader with just the right girth is another idea for a print.

@@TeranAtelier Good choice of small, affordable printer.
@@pequodexpress Yes it looks good with a lot of room for mods and upgrades. What software are you using for designing parts?

@@TeranAtelier It works very well.
Pricking Irons Bump Jig and Chisel Pull Out Aid links do not work!
Thank you for letting me know. I have fixed all the links.
Hello can i ask what soft ware do i need to edit my 3d tools i have not tried it before😅

@@TeranAtelier ohh thanks ❤️

Thank you for letting me know. All the links have now been fixed.
