Building a $55 Home Gym with my 3D Printer!

In this video, join me as I build a home gym on a budget using my 3D printer. I start by purchasing an affordable workout bench and dumbbell handles. Using Fusion 360, I design custom molds for the dumbbell weights, calculating the internal volume to estimate their weight once filled with concrete.
You'll see the step-by-step process of mixing and pouring concrete into the molds, as well as the application of a protective truck bed liner coating. I weigh the finished weights and demonstrate their use in a workout session.
By the end of the video, I reveal the total cost of the materials, which came to just $55. If you're looking to create a cost-effective home gym, this video will provide insights and inspiration.

this is very cool, nice video!
Solid idea! Way cheaper than buying metal weights! Also I see you, so close to 1k subs!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
As a practical printer myself, who discovered that he was getting fat, too, I have some recommendations:
- look for a good used non Olympic barbell. You then can make molds who can fit both your dumbbells and your barbell in little increments.
-make a wooden rack/find a good used one for leg exercises
- maybe look for a set of gymnastic rings. They are really versatile. Your routine has no upper body pull that you can progressively overload.
-Watch out for proper technique. That dumbbell rows made my back hurt only looking at them.
Keep consistent! Show them that nerds can get jacked, too!
Great content!
Really cool, if you've still got some of that concrete mix you should consider making thinner "plates." Would allow you to incrementally increase the weight
This is a great point.. Not sure why I went with the shape I did, more of a first thought that popped into my head at first.. I also want to figure out a way to reuse the molds too. I'll look into this when I decide to shift to different weights!
Thanks for watching!
@@PrintPracticalu could try tpu filament which is flexible and would replace the truck bed liner
@KwonJi-won yeah agreed. At the time I filmed this, I didn’t have a printer capable of printing TPU with a large enough build plate. Now I have a better printer
I love this idea!!
Thanks! No more waiting at the gym for a bench!
Get ripped Boogie!!!
Lol gotta start sometime, i'm getting too out of shape. Thanks for watching homie!
Try 3D printing angle90s grips. They're really versatile for bodyweight exercises.
This is a great idea, I've been thinking about making concrete weights for some time and wasn't sure if they would break very easily or not. Are you going to end up sharing the .stl?
Thanks for watching, I will keep everyone updated on the weights. I was definitely a bit worried about cracking, but concrete can be pretty tough. If there is enough interest, I could make a few more weights to perform drop tests etc.
I will upload the STLs now, and the link will be in the description in a few minutes.
STLs uploaded.. Looks like the price of the handles went up to $21.. According to camelcamelcamel, it looks like Amazon frequently puts them on sale for $15. Might be worth a watch.
“I’m gettin’ fat” lmao
Thanks for watching! And yeah I need to start working out ASAP
Why didn’t you just print a whole dumbbell of 20 libs ? And others of different weight.
Lol this project took a minute, he had long hard by the time he finished it
This shit is expensive but I have a 3d.printer so yeah
