I was utterly charmed that you made the barstool, revealed it, and judged it unworthy of use. That's the kind of humble authenticity I appreciate in your vids. It would've actually been easier to not show or talk about a failed prototype, but the fact that you did builds trust and keeps me coming back. Bravo, sir!
The Prusia i3 MK3 is an incredible printer. If you're curious about dabbling in 3D printing, it's one of the best options. You can opt to build it yourself (helps learn about your printer very well) or you can buy it fully assembled (removes a lot of troubleshooting in foreign territory for beginners). It has a huge community for support and it's widely used. I bought a MK2 a few years ago and immediately upgraded to the MK3 when it came out. It's a great printer any way you slice it. Josef Prusa and his team of very talented salespeople are fucking awesome and I think they make great products as they're true labors of love.
My advice to every new comer be like : Want best printing quality and convince buy prusha Want something affordable thats gets job done with more then decent quality get ender 3
@_ David _ I was a beginner and I bought one as my first printer, so I politely disagree. I also sold it for almost the same price I got it for so it held it's value over 2 years. Price and experience don't really make a difference. If you don't end up liking it or getting into the hobby, you can sell it.
Again, killing it with the DIY projects you can actually do yourself. Too many youtubers forget we don't all own giant shops full of machines and rely on simple tools used properly. Good work! :)
We may be in a pandemic, but you are keeping me sane. I really like how you are showing the use of 3D printing outside of a hobby in a calm straightforward manner, I always learn a lot from your videos.
I don't know if its the angle of camera on the objects, but the tops don't look to be centered on the legs... It looks like this for both the table as the bar chair if you pause the video at 15:24 for example.

an easy way to draw circles of any length, put your nail in the middle tie a fishing line/string from it to a pen , tie/tape it at the length you want and it will trace the circle much easier with the tightness of the string
To get the huge chamfered edge on the underside of the table, what I used to do when working in a woodworking shop is to get a regular circle jig for a router with a screw in the circle of the table for pivot then in another piece I would cut a slot that is longer than the chamfer so that a router guide bushing would fit in there nice and could move up and down in just one axis, then i would cut angled shims with the correct angle calculated and attach both pieces together with screws running through the shims and I would set the table on a bigger surface and also add support at the outer edge of the jig so the weight of the router doesn't flex the screw joint. Then you just simply start routing as with any circle jig, and just keep adjusting depth and moving the router up and down the slot to get the chamfer width. I hope the description makes sense.
You don't need gluestick on these PEI sheets. Just clean them with isopropal alcohol. I printed hollow parts, without bottom or infill, just sticking with 2 or 3 perimeters. No problem.
Like others have said, the Prusa is a great printer. I have about 1500 hours on mine and the only time I've had any issues is because of something I screwed up myself. A lot people are fans of the low cost Chinese printers and they can do a fine job but you don't buy a Prusa because you want a hobby modifying your printer to make good prints. You buy a Prusa to use it as a tool and make professional grade prints.
I build my own (Annet A8) 3d printer, fun hobby:-) But if I were to buy one i would probably go for a Prusa. I like the way Joseph is doing things and love his story. Also great idea on this furniture, I might build a table for my own, thanx!!👍🏻
10:58 You inserted the threaded slots backwards. You can actually just use a regular flat screw driver to set those inserts using the side with the slots cut on them (that is what they're for). Pretty much all threaded inserts I've seen have something similar (some are flat screw driver slots, some are hex keys slots, others some weird shit, but usually something that you don't need to use the whole bolt with a nut and them some to pull it out procedure). That being said, the idea of combining 3D printed parts with simple stock that requires little processing to make pieces is imo such a good thing and often under explored. Kudos to you for doing that and on doing a nice job overall.
In regards to the prints not sticking. The glue stick is actually to help PETG (and other sticky filaments) parts release, not stick. I use the smooth sheet for PLA 100% clean. Then use the textured sheet for PETG also 100% clean. If you need to print PETG on the smooth sheet use the gluestick and also add a 1 layer brim to the print. This will help the part stick and is very easy to remove after printing.
Thank u so much for this brilliant idea! I am going to do something similar now that I got a chance to try CAD and 3D-printing myself for a school project
Dude!! This is they way to build something. Love all the attention of detail and all those really useful tricks that you share to get the best build quality!
you can drill in the inserts with just a flat head if you had turned them around. But i kind of feel this was intentional, because the insert looks way better the way you did it. (definitely going to drill them in this way in the future)
I've been using an Original Prusa MK3 for 2 years now. The way to make sure the prints stick to the bed is to wipe down the bed before every print with some isopropyl alcohol (I use 91%). About every month or so, wipe it down with some acetone to also rejuvenate the bed -- but not too often because it can make the PEI sheet on the bed brittle. If the part has a small surface area, I make sure to print it with a brim (about 5 or 6 mm wide). Hope this helps!
Woah actually what a smart dude he is. Couldn't appreciate the knowledge and how straightforward he is any more. I really like to watch these projects you're bringing up and the content is really entertaining! Wish you the strenght, health and more content to bring for us to watch.
I'm very impressed by the print quality you are getting. Everyone else on TH-cam has had one problem or another with 3D printers. Also I don't think PLA is strong enough for most projects I'd like to do. I'm waiting for a printer that can print engineering grade plastic like nylon.
Crazy. I'm actually in the middle of a similar project for a low-profile plant stand. Of course, my round stock will be much smaller. But this still gives me a pretty good idea that I'm headed in the right direction. Seriously. thanks for this!
I really like the concept of combining simple wooden parts and more intricate 3D printed parts! I have been experimenting with a design for a cable organizer box. I have to say your design looks absolutely great!
Thank you for everything you do. You give me motivation to move forward with my own You Tube. You are very entertaining and remind me alot of me, high strung and love life.
@@achappel Thank you for the reply. Of all the videos I have watched and commented on and my comments are only good. You are the only one that has taken the time to reply and express appreciation.
Missed opputunity to make plastic ends for the tips of the chair with the perfect angle and fit. Also the feet are where it wears the most, so when they wear out u can always print new "feet". Most industiral chairs have plastic on the ends probably for this reason.
But also added hours to the printing, manual labor is usually a lot faster than 3d printing! 😅 With that said, I do agree, it would've looked a lot more refined.
@@lilypower Making say 3 foot pads of such (small) size would print in 20 minutes or so. You can probably get away with super fast print speed as well with this type of coarse "feet". Manual labor can be faster, but the machine is set & forget. So you can print while at work or sleeping, effectively freeing your time 100% to do w/e else u want to do, while the machine happily produces away. I often print before going to the supermarket, and when I'm back it's done. I can't be at supermarket and build at once.
Nice design and quite the build going from something as modern as the 3D printer to using the plane. I'm sure that did take a lot of work but it was worth it. nice design!
For the legs, if you want to save lots of time sanding, assemble the legs then use a pencil on some coins or scrap wood to draw a line around each leg parallel to the desk, cut this line and your legs will now sit flush. Might be worth chamfering the edge a little bit if you do this, just so there are no sharp edges that could chip easily.
loving your videos and your channel! you're right up there with all the maker alex's on youtube, alex cnc, alex french guy cooking, alec steele... wont be long till your channel will be huge! cheers x
Most well sorted out 3d printers can print substantially more than a 45 degree overhang. My Ender 3 can print out to nearly 75 degrees. You should print an All in One test print and see how far you can push your Prusa!
speaking of flexible platform beds, have you seen creality’s prototype treadmill 3d printer? lots of interesting developments in the 3d printing world. made it through all the forced youtube ads to get to the end of this video. 😅
Amazing video! I love the simple 3D printed pieces that come together to create the side table. It came out beautifully. I just discovered your channel and it's very similar to what I'm doing with my channel. Keep up the great work!
You can explain so well. I wish you made a video dedicated to making supports for 3d prints. Everyone out there doing is is talking greek as far as i am concerned. I dont understand anything about my fdm printer.
Hi, this is your second video I've watched. Those projects look awesome. Suggestion: Isn't it better to get barstool bars to join its legs by pairs? You'll get a nice triangle below the seat. I think that would make this stool more steady. Also you'd get a nice footbar to rest your feet. Cheers from russian living in Colombia!
Alexandre, I see wood-workers using a sharp solid metal tool to make holes gentle hitting top of this tool to shape small rectangular hole. It kind of looks like a giant scredriver but heavier and stronger. What is the name of this tool?
Between the french TH-camr Monsieur Bidouille (Who realized a boat with métal broom bars and 3d printed fixations) and you, i'm convinced for buying a 3D printer now.

That accurate circle jig trick on the bandsaw is brilliant. I've never seen that before, thanks.
Agreed!
I support that comment.
Have seen it many times before and used it myself, thought I don't think I've seen it explained this well before 😃
Agreed!
Seen it a hundred times but it still amazes me, how something so simple can be that helpful!
The last chamfer is a really nice job for a router table ... but the simplicity of the construction ist amazing.

Just a note for you, you can print steeper overhangs by using inside-outside and thinner layers.
