Agreed with the less innuendos. I'm not offended by them but I think they distract from the video with the quantity that were included and the asides that pointed them out. If you are going to make an innuendo, it should just be left to stand on its own otherwise it feels very forced and unnatural. Also, not digging the haircut. I think you need to go shorter on the top as you have a taller ratio face and the taller hair doesn't balance it out.

I don't want to come off negatively, but what is the purpose of the Solder Scroll? From the introduction in the video, it first sounded like it was supposed to free up a hand, but upon closer inspection, that doesn't seem to be the case, so what's the advantage over just holding the solder between your fingers? If anything, holding the solder directly only requires two fingers, leaving three for holding wires/components/board in place.

I'd watch another video on 3D printed tools. One trick I use with threads (or similar) is baking soda and water. Get the thread wet. Sprinkle a little baking soda on the wetness to form a paste. Try threading it together like cutting threads - forward a little then back it off and try again. The baking soda acts like a polishing grit and it seems to leave a film that is a little slippery. Rinse the parts clean when the threads are working better. There's my 2 cents worth of advice related to 3D printed threads.

I noticed in a bunch of your bambu lab timelapses you have parts fail from random threads flying off of it from the infill. I have found that this is from having my max flowrate set too high. At high speeds the plastic rather than flowing out to the sides seems to expand and bunch up behind the toolpath of the nozzle meaning when the nozzle comes back it smacks them out of place, so this could also just be infill print speed too high. I'm guessing that the nozzle tip is just too narrow on BL printers to really properly spread the plastic out. This drove me nuts because I get insane results on most flowrate test prints, up to 20mm3/s with PETG, but in reality i find that real prints fail often at this speed. As soon as i set my flowrate down to 15mm3/s everything prints perfectly i haven't had a problem since for the past 200 print hours. For dimensional accuracy I found that inner/outer/inner works best. This means the inner-most wall prints first, then the outer wall, then the 'infill' walls get printed. This has been super accurate for me. I also generally recommend when printing long tall objects to just split it up into multiple prints. It's just too risky to print them at the same time. Don't bother respooling cardboard spools. Just put electrical tape on the edges. I've had zero failures in my AMS with that hack.

There is no photograph of the printed tool which normally puts me off printing the file, however I could not find a puller tool anywhere else and so I took a chance.

Yes, I have to concur. There are several what I consider to be basic mistakes I saw. There's no reason to ever print out a screw vertically as it considerably weakens the strength of the threads. Hacking together parts by drilling them and using soldering irons certainly doesn't seem like the stuff of smart reviews. Why not just reprint it with an adjustment? I also have the pastamatic and have used it dozens of times without issue. It just works. You might try that. I also might mention that when I'm printing out other people's projects that have fine tolerances, I typically try and use Bambu filament as the printer is tuned specifically for the filament. Furthermore, PLA is just fine if you're not going to have it outdoors and you just need a strong rigid tool.

Designs should use metal hardware whenever possible, just much better than plastic. Can also use wood parts, such as for dowels, they are common enough, and stronger. I do think you have to print things in the right material, too many people just use PLA, which is often the worst choice, and it's always best to print mechanical devices in PETG or better yet ABS/ASA.

But after printing it, the spring worldnt compress, because the part was backwards. And with the pause midway thru the print, it was sealed in,..... so, I had to spend More filament AND , 2 hours EXTRA to get a working model and had to trash the first one completely

For alot of people making your own tools is fun and i respect that but i just need to get things done. I wanted to print a vise and then i realised i had to go out and buy metal rails, at that point its faster and cheaper to just buy a metal vise. One of the best things to learn about 3d printing is when NOT to print something. All that said i make some useless/impractical stuff from time to time because designing and printing is fun.

Honestly, I have found my old MK3, enders and my SV06 print far more solid parts, simply because they print slower and have better layer adhesion as a result. My P1S is brilliant up to about 50% of standard speeds, so pretty much silent mode. Anything faster and parts just aren't strong enough for my liking. I would rather a solid useful part in twice the time than a part that immediately breaks when it's assembled or used. Damp materials or materials that have been dehydrated repeatedly will also cause brittleness and adhesion issues, so depending on where you are a good sealed storage unit can be essential. I use 60 litre airtight tubs for my opened filament and have a sealable inlet and outlet I plug an old food dehydrator into and every month or so or when the humidity raises above about 30% in the box I will dehydrate it for a few hours. I have had near perfect print quality and way stronger parts since taking better care of my filament. Just don't overdo the drying, only do it if you notice a problem, too many drying cycles will harm your filament eventually. I printed 4 solder scrollers and gave away 2, have lead solder (good old vintage solder from the 80's) on one and lead free on the other and they were all perfect, I think I printed them on the sv06, I just find that printer to be the most dimensionally accurate I have, 0.1mm clearances are no problem with it and I can't say the same for my P1s that starts to bind at .15 no matter what settings I use or calibration I do.

For the respooler: well, I just use a battery-drill, a steel rod and a cap that I printed with an M8 bolt inside to turn the 'new' spool with. the old spool over a steel pin or bolt in a vice and just spool. Filament likes to go to the lower part on the spool and thus gets evenly distributed automatically when not turning way too fast. I have used at least 100 spools this way. But mostly, I use refillament directly so I don't need to respool that many spools.

Hey guys for all of you also printing the mechanical pencil, i made the mistake to screw the tip from the front, instead of putting it in from where the pencil lead comes from.

Have you looked into making a filament dry box? I store all my filament in a sealed container with desiccant. Tons of really good ones out there using cereal containers and running a PTFE tube right out of them so the filament never leaves the "dry" space.

What type of nozzle do you use?
@AmixLiark
3 ай бұрын
I use a diamond back nozzle and i realized thats a really bad nozzle to use for PETG because it has so much surface area to contact the PETG while it's being extruded onto the print. It causes the petg to grip the nozzle, drag along the print and curl up the back side of the nozzle. A nozzle with a very thin tip like a standard V6 brass nozzle would be more ideal. PETG doesn't like to stick to itself when there is a source of heat so it is best not to give it an easy heat source to collect on. It's also really bad at bed adhesion on corners which can come off the bed and snag your extruder causing layer shifts. It's best to combat this by using the "do not cross perimeters" option so you nozzle can't snag the edge of the print amd use large brims on the corners.

The hose snake weighted base has potential to be a vacuum clamp. Just give it a small holes to connect the underlying chambers and print the base in soft TPU to get a bit of squish. A bit like the dust collector for whole drilling in a wall.

I really appreciate the transparency when it comes to the actual usefulness of these prints. I've gotten SO excited to print different tools or just fun things and then it turns out they just don't work properly and that's such a bummer. But like you said, no disrespect to the creators and designers!!! I can just BARELY split a file in half, let alone make something from scratch. edit: love the cut-aways to you editing the uh... puns hehe

I’ve actually printed a dummy version of the LTT screwdriver (I think it was a month before the ratchet version was released) the reason why the model has so many artifacts is because it’s a direct 3d scan of the screwdriver, and it’s _extremely_ tedious to convert scan meshes into step files. As for the fitment and ratcheting, yeah I think that’s on the designer, lol

With 3d printed screws, I’ve had good luck with threading them through the appropriate sized nut a few times to remove any minor defects on the threads. Of course that requires you to have the appropriate hardware, which kinds of defeats the purpose of 3d printing the screws in the first place. But it does work.

I made the fillament spooler and have been very happy with it, the noise problem i fixed by putting tape around the bottom rollers to "cushion" them. I also printed it in petg so that it holds up better though i only run my drill at about half speed while im transfering fillament, as ive had too many fillamenys snap at full speed on other respoolers and it becomes a nightmare.

If there's going to be any load, screws should be oriented horizontally for printing, otherwise the layer boundaries are normal to the stress direction, which causes problems.

Instead of the weighted base, why not just put magnets in it to hold it to the table. If you want weight, using sand would be much better than what you're doing.

It looks like you're using way too little infill for a lot of structural parts. That's probably the main reason you're having issues with pins and screws. Those really need to be at basically 100%.The gun community has really proven just how strong and robust 3D printing can be. It needs to be transferred over to other aspects of it as well.

In regards to the LTT screwdriver, you can get the Megapro screwdriver that the LTT one is based off of for ~$30 and it's ~95% of what the LTT one is in terms of functionality. The LTT one is definitely not worth $70..

I actually think they messed up one major detail on the LTT screwdriver: you have to explicitly set direction, because it's the opposite direction compared to all other ratchet drivers. It "seems" to make sense to someone who never used a ratchet driver, because at first you always set direction wrong, because you're trying to THINK about it. On LTT driver they "fixed" it by having you turn the collar in the direction you'll be turning. But this is not how ratcheting drivers are supposed to be used, you simply hold the collar while you start the first turn, barely even hold, just touch with your palm or something, so it's less work and NO thinking, you just have to get used to holding it correctly. This is the reason i will never buy the LTT one. The fact that it's much more expensive than comparable products isn't that bad, it does make a case for itself by having the combination of lowest backdrag on the market and spectacularly low backlash, and market leading products with exceptional performance are allowed to have exceptional prices. I mean it is sort of bad for me in my current situation but if i was better off, and eventually i may well be, it wouldn't be.

I always find myself lost scrolling through printables or thingiverses tool section looking at these models wondering if I have the 2-3 kg of filament to waste if its a pile of. Now I know which is good or which to avoid (or not avoid but print with care). Thank you! I'm looking forward for ep. 2 ;)

Great video, and thanks for testing these so that we don’t have to. One thing that struck me in watching it was that some of the challenges came from having to print tall cylinders such as threaded shafts where the contact area on the build plate is small relative to the volume of the part. When Multiboard came out I realised that so many designs could benefit from the thread design used there which flattens two sides to enable printing the long axis parallel to the build plate. For some of these prints (like the vise) a similar approach would make them easier to print and more durable, and the seam placement can be on a non-contact surface.

You need to get a Sunlu S4. I’m in North Carolina with terrible humidity, and I swear that filament dryer box has made me go from absolutely hating PETG to, well, to be honest, still an extreme disliking, but it’s a dramatic improvement nonetheless. I actually *print* in PETG more often now, and even switched to using it on one of our product lines from PLA+ since we need the heat tolerance. The dryer, and properly dried PETG made all the difference.

I would think that printing the drive shaft with a hex head like a bolt and use a 6 point socket would give better contact and stop it from stripping. Also, on the guide bars on the vice, could you use hex shaped rods vs round? You would also be able to print these horizontal vs vertical to get the strength from the layer direction. P.S. Don't get rid of the jokes.

I printed the flexi hose in 100mm and PETG and it is too slippery. I reinforced it with printed hose clamps to make it work and adjustable. I recommend printing them with fuzzy skin. This introduces a lot of friction, but with every move, we have a little bit of abrasion and the sides will begin to smooth out.
