Thanks for watching! I know these are some pretty random projects but hopefully you still found it fun and interesting. What's your favorite functional print and what should I make next with the flexible filaments?
theres an awesome wallet design on thingiverse. I have made them in 4 different colors. the first one lasted over a year of daily use without any major damage. i rotate them all now.

TIP: buy stainless steel rods, 100mm length and 1, 2 and 3mm diameter. They make awesome pins and work really well with prints. I've used them as hinges and also as support inside vertically printed parts to make them stronger. Simple to use, drill a hole, push them in. Easy to cut with a Dremel and a cutting disc.
I found all those projects really interesting especially the mechanical one and also I am wondering did you already Release the winner to give away or are you still doing that yeah I really hope I didn’t miss anything
I think you doubted yourself in this video. Let me be the first to say that a video like this is inspiring. You found so many niche situations in which 3D printing improved your daily life. Little things add up. You are a master creator and a video like this shows that clearly. Keep moving forward!
I think in today's world the ability to do those quick fixes is going to become more and more accepted instead of "oh just buy another one". Even if I wanted to buy some music rack mount stuff it's not even in stock, so I've been cadding like a madman to get stuff organised for months haha
And the catalogue of 3D printing files online just keeps growing :D
My Logitech mouse is developing issues and my first thought was replacing the switch.
The soviets were great engineers. Built to last and buit to be repaired.
Honestly, I don't think it is acceptable to have a part on a 50$ controller break in the first place.
Although I have had a few cases where I broke/needed a part that is not available at all anymore, for example a mount on a sewing machine from the 60s. In those cases, a 3d printer is invaluable.
Louis Rossmann agrees! Or at least hopes, dreams, advocates, etc.
@@Throneos I don't know about built to last, most soviet things I owned broke down fast, very fast.
Devin is one of the most humble youtuber. I have been following this channel for a long time and its astonishing how genuine and fair this guy is. Plus he is always on point with creativity, always showing new ideas which will instantly make you think how “cool” all his creations are..
Yup
With my level of destructiveness, 3D printing will be a Ship of Theseus situation for me soon.
The proportion of things that are printed in my home keeps rising!
Planing to join the club. Been a long time coming.
8:08 Those aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. We've previously seen evidence of your innate chi powers.
That's why PlayStation controllers are so popular. Very sturdy.
There should be an Award for the 3D designer of the year, for contributions to advance 3D printing, bring forth useful and artistic/creative designs and inspire others. You'd certainly get my vote.
i made a new comfortable handle for my cane and a springy phone case that protects it from (frequent) dropping. both designs have been used by other people now and that makes me happy.
It's always really satisfying designing replacement parts. That moment when everything finally just works is the greatest. When I lived in an old travel trailer, I replaced a lot of the old plastic parts like light bulb covers and the sliding mechanisms in the locking cabinets. It takes forever to find the specific part that you need and ends up costing you an arm and a leg. Then, half the time it takes several weeks for the part to even ship to you. 3D printing absolutely made my life easier that way (Plus you have to come up with some way of justifying buying a several hundred dollar machine ;) )
Me: I built a crude escapement mechanism once.
Mechanistic: Hold my beer.
love the transparency. from showing the failures and what became of it. as well as learning from older prints and making another version of it better.
Been a fan of your channel for almost 5 years now, thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
i was into 3d printing for almost 5 years before i got into tpu. now i barely use rigid materials :)
Tpu master race
I'm about to start flex printing. What all do you print?
a lot of people say that "3d printing is only useful for nick-knacks, and has no practical purpose." This video is the perfect demonstration of why that's untrue.
3D printing is not for solving any particular problem(s), but rather for solving the various problems you might find in day-to-day life.
This is what makes 3d printing so fun! Fixing big or small things that wouldn't hav been able to if there wasn't 3d printers, and adding or changing to things to have totally new features
"I'm not an aggressive gamer." breaks his controller from pushing on it to hard.
*twice
My mother had a knife block that used a bristle insert to hold the knives rather than slots. This is nice for when your collection isn't really a set, but it has two major drawbacks. The first is that once you have a few knives in there, it becomes very difficult to insert another or even pull them out. The second is that the bristles get damaged and dirty overtime. Made her an insert that holds a ton of knives and they are easy to insert and remove
God, I love the sound effects you add over the stop motion bits, so satisfying!
Thanks for sharing Devin! This clearly shows the limitless possibilities for functional prints and hopefully it will inspire more makers to pick up some basic modelling skills to go with 3D printing. On that note, I am also voting for a fusion 360 tutorial series 🙂
All these examples are awesome, I'm so happy to see you back!
My first real functional print was a replacement trigger button on an old, generic (and now out of production) bluetooth smartphone-compatible gamepad! Still working perfectly fine after about a year of regular use :D Really taught me a lot about modelling in freeCAD and getting used to the concept of manufacturing tolerances.
Fixing small things around the house that would be infeasible to repair/replace otherwise is and probably will forever be my favorite application of 3D printing.
Devin, your speech at 15:04 was spot on! I feel completely the same way. There's nothing you can't fix or create when you have the power to 3D model and print. The only limation we have is our creativity and our imagination. And well of course our knowledge and skill in 3D design but that can always be improved upon. The satisfaction from creating your own solutions is second to none, you feel so accomplished and self-sufficient. Not to mention the cost benefits, oh you sell this 3rd party accessory for $50? let me just model my own and print it for $1.50 in material! See my reply to your question in the video.
My favorite functional print?
So initially the power supply brick for my 1440p monitor was attached under my desk using cable zip tie mounts and zip ties as I'm really into cable management. For weeks, the power supply kept falling down after extensive use on my computer. I tried using more mounts and zip ties and the issue still prevailed. Then I tried using heavy-duty double-sided tape. Much to my dismay and shock, it still kept falling! Now the power supply brick isn't very heavy at all but I suspected that it just gets really hot, so it must loosen the glue on the mount and tape. I looked for brackets online but they are either too large, too expensive, and many of them are one size fits all solutions. I wanted a solution that was designed specifically for my power supply brick. Thus, in true Make Anything fashion I designed and modeled my own bracket and printed it on my Ender 3 Pro. It came out perfectly and utilizes a threaded screw already located on the back of the desk to be mounted. This solution has worked beautifully and my power supply has yet to fall, and I suspect that it will never again. :D
So I just want to say thank you for inspiring me and countless of other creators Devin. I love your channel and your work is amazing. Stay awesome.
Yes, inconveniences be gone! :D Hopefully the power supply doesn't get too warm and deform the print (if PLA). I could actually use something similar
@@make.anything Ok, so, update to this... I think you were right, however, my design was flawed as well. A couple of months into its use the hooks actually broke. I used a hook design (it looks like an uppercase J from the side) in which the power supply slipped into the hooks and it was held onto the desk with a threaded screw. To save material I only used three hooks and they weren't very thick, probably a couple of millimeters in width. I updated the design to be one long complete hook that travels the length of the power supply and it's holding up much better now. Sometimes cutting corners isn't worth it...
Lured in with the 3d printing and rewarded with a repair guide!
Very glad to be subscribed
I watch a lot of 3D printing videos, you displayed awesome prints in a useful way. Great job sir
Awesome! like the Antikythera mechanism! Well done!
16:27 You are a true menace! A one man wrecking ball. 😆
Boom! These are really cool! Please more videos like these. My favourite one would be the replacement for game controller. Next, make the whole controller. Lol.
Thanks for contributing to the space.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm watching this with headphones repaired by 3D printed parts.
You should print tires with that tire filament
More, more more! Can't wait for your next functional/cool 3D prints video! 😊
I'm so glad TH-cam recommended this video. Great editing, great comedy, and great demonstration of the usefulness of 3D printing. Absolutely earned a subscription
It's so cool that you have an OP-1! I love those things. Great video as usual!
The feet remote trigger was genius! My favourite functional i designed was probably my castor stoppers so I could play racing games with my chair without it moving
Dude he’s like the enigma of the kind of 3D printing chad that we all want to be. He repairs everything and it works perfectly and it’s all so creative
You're teasing us with those filaments we can't get yet 😂 Both those rubber filaments looks really useful.
Most of my printing (*ahem*, well apart from printer modifications!) has been useful bits and bobs around the place - all those one-off pieces that you either can't buy, or are variations that fit what I want to do better than what's available. Even simple things like boxes or holders - instead of buying off-the-shelf size things that don't fit well - simply model my own that fits stuff perfectly; nice!
Designing and fixing things with 3d printing really is satisfying. Fixed some sandals with some flexible filament recently.
For some reason, my favorite part was the rubber chair feet 😄
The prints I appreciate the most at home are some toilet seat cover fasteners I had to design and print because it came with some unusable contraptions. There’s always some things you need to print, I love doing it 😊
I love it when a plan comes together 👌😁
Oh man. You’re the best for creating stuff. Thanks for showing.
You might be the only person who has broken a controller that way, but still pretty cool that you made a fix that works for you!
The thing I keyed into in the intro was the capo on your guitar. I was expecting you to say that was 3D printed as well. That would be a good candidate for it as well.
Really like the video, I think this is one of your better ones. It is something to refer to when I want to explain why 3d printing is great
AMAZING VIDEO DEVIN!!! LOVE THE INTRO.
Now, do a tourbillon that's print in place!
Been a minute, Always love to see your videos.
Yep, I think that most people don't realize how really useful 3d printing is for "utility" parts, and parts that would take too long to get or just too expensive. So if you have a modicum of 3d software knowledge (most CAD programs are easier than one thinks) you can get a LOT printed for things around the house or for work, as you've shown.
Even though I'm an artist and have done some wonderful creative prints, the bulk of my printing has been Knobs, hooks, replacement parts etc.
So much cool stuff in this video. I’m so inspired right now!
Damn
These are some cool prints
Nice! I love using my printer to repair broken things and parts!
Really enjoyed this video and seeing actual useful prints! Keep on making!
When you drilled that wall, and the drill fell into the wall fast, i had a little chuckle ... and thought, im glad im not the only one thats done that HaHa!
That's my life, designing and printing parts to replace little things that break everywhere.
Nice video! This video made me realize how much I just miss printing with my filament. I've been working on my personal project lately and all my prints in the past year have been parts for it. To the point that I haven't actually "used" my printer for fun purposed. I'm gonna go print my dad a nightstand he wanted now!
I have never owned a 3D printer in my life. And I’ve been watching every single one of your videos. Lol. I need to come up on a 3D printer now.
Thanks for sharing Devin ! Great stuff 👍
Great design
Great video as always 😊
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀
The SD card guide is dope!
Oh my gosh thank you Devin, I laughed so hard when you were doing your pull up with the one arm while pushing up on your legs, I probably replayed that 10 times! Funny
'Installed this bumper so I didn't break it again'
If you managed to snap that screw with gamer grip alone, I'd be impressed
Great video!
That feeling of satisfaction when you design something, print it... AND IT WORKS!
I designed repair items for arround the house as needed.
And parts for the model rocket kits that I sell.
Thank you for inspiring me to make even more fixes.
FYI, I used TPU to make rubber feet for the launchpads I sell for my kits :D.
In November of 2017 you made a video about 3D printed fabric. There's another way to do that which doesn't involve mechanically linking the tiles with the plastic. One guy used a layer of cloth or fine netting in the middle of the print. He let half the thickness of the tiles or scales print, laid down the cloth/netting, and let the other half of the tile print. This sandwiched the fabric/net permanently into the tiles or scales and still made for a flexible printed scale armor that was still flat on the inside so it was comfortable to wear but could still be three dimensional on the outside, like spiked shoulder pauldrons, or something like Aquaman's fish scale armor.
Regarding the Mint Green rubber filament in this video, if they made it in black it would be great for printing RC car tires, or maybe even flexible and shock absorbing but still protective cell phone cases. Use that black tire filament closest to the phone, then the softer rubber filament around that kinda like the Otterbox Defender cases.
So cool! Thanks for making this video!
Helluva job as always!
I printed a handle for my screen door! Was my first self designed part that I printed!
Great job!
Rewatching your videos and this might be your best video ever
You Sir, Dude are an absolute inspiration, thank you!
Dude you are one buff gamer. I have 3 of these controllers and I've not had a single problem.
Thanks for the faceplate ideas though. I might try this.
Awaiting the arrival of my first printer (Ender 3 S1). Thanks for the inspiration!👍
Dude this video is awesome, that's what 3d printing is all about, taking bad energizing engineering and making it more durable or better. You are a very smart young man. I really want to learn fusion 360 so that i can do stuff like this but i just find it so complicated but i think if i watched enough videos i could probably figure it out. 3d printing is fun already just going to thingiverse and downloading and printing parts, but even more rewarding is actually designing or creating your own parts and printing them. Nothing gives a better understanding than creating your own parts by actually designing them.
Love this series. More more more!
Great video! The most useful things I found were rubber feet -- I printed some with PETG for my chair, but they don't work as well as I have hoped; and handlebar grips -- I need a pair my bicycle. I have direct extruder, I should get some flexible filament.
Incidentally, one thing that I solved with the 3d printer is pins -- when designing a model, just shave off about 0.5 mm at the bottom of the pin so it's printable and the layers are lengthwise.
Print it with PLA or PETG. A few of 'temporary' pins like that have been working for years.
You are the person that inspired me to buy an Ender 3
No wonder you destruct everything. Look at the size of those dumbbells you work out with!
Now this is just the kind of video I love
I made a push tab for a water cooler at work when the cold water tab broke. A few years later, when the hot tab broke on the same system, I had a design ready to go. A water dispenser that would have only lasted 3 years has been going strong for 7+ years thanks to my part.
That's a perfect example!
I tried to make very similar thumbstick covers for my oculus quest 2, while I was working on them my controller covers came in and came with thumbstick covers, I didn't even know they existed but I guess that saved me from having to do any more work on the design!
Holy crap, 3D printed stop motion is such an awesome idea!
I have fixed the toilet, a headset, added a vertical stand for a monitor, fixtures to hang an air filter, knobs for a door lock on a car, a cover for a water tank and maybe more things! 3D printing is an amazing tool!
As soon as I saw that rubber filament I had to search for it! Still not available, but here's hoping it will be soon!! It looked great
The amount of content in this one video alone….. wow…. Awesome job and thank you! Though I’m 2 years too late to this one
This is exactly how I use my printer, always engineering a solution to a completely random problem. Although I'm probably less destructive as you Devin 😂
My favorite print is probably the nightstand And knock box I designed and gifed to my stepsister. I printed it in glow in the dark so I love turning it off. I regret giving it to her as a gift now xD
For the knock box instead of paying 20$ I printed this cool looking bar for a yogurt container and it took 20m to print and I upcycled waste and saved myself 12h of printing and 100g of Filament with this idea
One of the most “useful to only me” things I’ve designed and printed is basically a wrist cuff with a stabbing part on the side that points away from the body. I work in a walk-in cooler and open a lot of plastic wrapped packages of bottles and cans. I wear gloves Bc I’m a weakling and operating a pocket knife isn’t hard with gloves on, but opening, closing, and fishing it out of my pocket is hard with gloves. I also run the risk of puncturing the product… which I’ve *neeeeverrrr* done. So this wrist cuff effectively pierces the plastic, has a “bladed” edge that “cuts” the plastic (more of a very controlled rip) and it fits between my sleeve and glove nicely, so it’s basically out of the way until I need it.
Great solution! That must be satisfying to design a more efficient way to get your job done :)
I love how for the grommet presses he just HAS to find a way to help with 3D printing, even after buying something. Lol.
💩
Definitely, the HDD storage that I designed and kept close to my desktop is the print my eye keeps revisiting.
You sir do some really great designs 👍
Nice job Devon. Simple can be more satisfying than complicated. I designed and printed a simple clip to retain my toilet window screen as the old one perished and I could find nothing compatible. With the help of Tinkercad and one hour of printing and I am a hero in the wife's eyes with a free pass to buy all the filament I want.
This is really awesome! I just recently bought my 3D printer (Ender 3 V2) and so far I have just been printing cute little objects from thingiverse, but definitely looking forward to learning and getting into actually designing things myself! Loved your video!
THE EXACT THING happened to my 8bitdo. thanks for doing this!
You have the most amazing content! Love it.
18:22 bro I respect the editing on that. That’s hard
18:24 You never fulled me with those Gumby arms. 😜
Cool opening sequence
I Can't Wait To Get My Hands On Some Of The Flexible Filament's!! Sounds Awesome!! The Only Drawback I See Coming Is My 3D Printer Is BUILT Not Bought!! No Owners Manual! I'm Just Gettin' Into 3D Printing, I Think I'll Have Lots Of Fun, My First Print I Watched It All The Way Threw!
I bought a used 14" raised platform bed frame and it was missing a corner leg. I used Tinker Cad to model a new leg that didn't require any bolts as it was a corner. I also designed some leg extensions to raise the frame an additional 2" for more storage clearance underneath. Eventually I bought a new 18" frame and gave the 14" frame away but it still works great and is sturdy.
Can you imagine not having a 3D printer and having to wait several months for the wrong part... wow
Nice projects- Great job :)
It's really cool to know the juicy backstory behind that controller trigger print. Heh.
18:08 hey Devin, did you know that using the air compressor to blow air in between the part gets it on very east
Just make sure the whole projects doesn't go south
Great tip!
I would love to see the process of you making the part's. I know you said it was many tests and prototypes and I think that's why I want to see it.
Great ideas. In my opinion you are a genius
The return of the king
100% cute content. Thank you Devin ❤️
