I know some VI teachers who are going to be so excited about your Braille cell clicker. The existing products that are purchasable for blind students aren’t inexpensive when compared to the cost it would be to print your, shall I say 'fabulous' model? I think I shall! I'm going to print up some and give them to my daughter's teachers. They will be thrilled. I'll have her bring them in and surprise them. They will be absolutely perfect for the kindergarten students learning the Braille alphabet, plus many other applications I'm sure They'll discover for them. The clicking feature will just make it all the more fun and make learning fun. Also, I can’t leave this message without saying I’m so sorry to hear about your Thingiverse woes, It's sad to lose all the legacy and history you had there.

Yeah, lots of people have been saying that thingiverse has been going downhill on the 3d printing subreddit. Btw loved your roll box design!

It's sad that you have been removed from thingiverse. You had so many cool designs there. I mean, i printed the "twist lock present" so many times for last christmas. I don't have accounts on the other sites, but for your designs it's worth to make some. Keep up the great work!

Ohhhhh so cool!! The Spring Latch, I was looking for this kind of connection for my project !! Cool! Thanks

Awesome new lovely fidget modification! Reminds me of the rubiks snake toy!

great design updates! 👏

There are so many other 3D printing content creators but your channel just has a chill/ family vibe. Thanks for all your work :)

Your designs are awesome and I intend to follow you wherever you post. All I ask is you continue designing, sharing, and keeping us updated. I love how inspiration can come from even the most unlikely of places. Thanks for being you and everything you share.

Maybe it's too late for you, but there is a function on the Prusa Printers site allowing to automatically import all your Thingiverse models entirely with description and everything with only a few clicks. As far as I know, Thangs offers it as well, so it can simplify the switch for you and others considerably.

Dude! Keep up the awesome work! I love the practical and attainable use for 3D you bring to the space.

One of the best 3D print/design channels on YT!!! Thanks for your great videos and design inspirations!

Thingiverse is a forgoten project of Makerbot that's been running on auto-pilot for a number of years now. It's pretty much in self-destruct mode and time to move to another platform. Sucks that its 'AI' targeted you in all this. Keep up the good work!

You'll look back months from now and wonder why you hadn't abandoned that "Thing" long ago. I applaud your decision to move your designs to another/better repository! 👍👏

I think you put a lot of effort into your designs and your wok is awesome. Please continue and hope to see more in the future.

Bookmarked you on thangs and Prusa, was looking for a reason to switch from Thingiverse for awhile and I just got it. Thanks again for all of your hard work Joe!

You are taking 3d print designs to a next level, Keep up the good work 👍

Beautiful mind thank you for sharing your thoughts and designs 🙏

Cool updates, thanks for sharing!

I absolutely love your Braille Tool!

Awesome teaching tool! Thank you! I will be printing it this afternoon. 👍

**** Ooohh!!! 🙋‍♂️ Over here, new request. A rack for the Brail fidgets so the kids can write words and sentences with them. 👍 Your design style is amazing.

Another great video, It's a shame thingiverse can't get it's act together but I'm glad there are other options for sharing your files. Keep up the good work and thank you for making your designs available to everyone.

You're very inventive, just discovered your work courtesy of that guy who was giving away a "box o rocks".

That braille sale is really cool. I actually used a wooden version of one when I was learning how to read braille because I am visually impaired so whenever students in pre-K we’re learning to read the alphabet I was learning how to write the alphabet and read it in braille

this are great designs!

If you can come up with a way to make Braille cells at standard size, for under about $30/cell, you can revolutionize braille tools. Also if you can manage to get them compact and flat; there are whole classes of devices that are currently not possible. Somebody came up with a design that only used one motor; not one per pin. I think it's viable on 6-dot braille (64 positions), but computer braille 8-dot needs 256. All of my 3D printing projects are braille related. I learned scad making highly parameterizable braille templates; to create impossible-to-buy 8-dot computer braille templates, micro-braille, etc. Now, I am working on building custom iPhone cases, to put a braille keyboard on the back of the iPhone case. I ran into this trying to get ideas for how to 3D print the flattest possible key switches; to make the case into a virtual kwerty keyboard (ie: chorded, braille layout). The idea is a braille keyboard that even sighted people would use in normal non-blind mode.

Sad about your thingiverse thingy. Your prints and designs are cool and original. I don't even have a 3d printer, but I watch your videos because they are so cool. ^^

i made something similar to that slide mechanism for mounting my print head, basically it snaps in and i just tighten one screw, i am going to look at modifying mine to use your spring, cause i find mine gets a bit loose, unless all screws are tightened right down, and i really want that snap action!

You make really awesome stuff 👍🖖 I wonder if it would be possible to make some kind of a spring up pushbutton, in the bigger storage boxes of yours, in the middle of the box in Honeycomb design to store other boxes on top, that they can't slide down anymore. Maybe I'm not so good in explaining. 😔

Hi there, Joe. Hope you're well and great work with the new designs! I know your hands are probably full at the moment, uploading your designs. Just wondered if you might be able to upload the step files of the Giant Rolling Storage Box and the Giant-er Rolling Storage Box? Would love to be able to make a few mods to the trays. Much like the various tray options you've got for the original rolling storage box. Thanks again!

I’m so happy I found your channel. I picked up a 3D printer a few months ago and the project I’m on right now is making a fidget cube/toy. Can I ask what software you use for your designs? Blender I’m guessing? Anyways. Awesome stuff!!

COOL

Another great video as usual :) I’m sorry again about thingiverse. Cute kitty!

what magnets should I get for the flipy thing?

Hey 3D Printy!!!

Can you just pull apart the sliding spring that has the two screws to hang something

I like your content. Great videos on youtube! The thingiverse thing is disturbing. We can still find your stuff as a result of youtube but the potential loss of remixes in general is upsetting.

Thingiverse has err’d grievously and we shall have retribution! To arms!

Thingiverse also will block downloads if it detects an ad blocker. I get it, but it seems more and more creators are moving to other platforms these days.

Thingiverse has been dying a slow death for a long time. I've been contemplating jumping ship as well. Especially the large uptick in spam getting uploaded that clearly violates tos but doesn't get cleaned up despite reporting and the massive data leak that happened a little while back

Nice. Thingiverse has been really going downhill the last month or two. I can't even download things with Firefox, even turning all the privacy features off.

i wonder if they removed you for having links to the other sites 🤔 no big loss anyway lol

Hey, 3D Printy! Do you have a Patreon or another way to buy you a coffee? I’d love to support you! I know KZfaq has a Super Thanks feature that you could potentially enable on your end.

I have been ditching Thingaverse for entirely different but similar reasons… sad to see them go but it is entirely their own fault.

hi

Thingiverse is a barely functioning website these days.

yea... I have been disappointed with thingiverse as well. Makerbot is going to flush away dominance in the market along with all of the free advertising that went along with it. It is only a matter of time before another site takes over. I'm routing for Thangs, but I don't like the interface at the moment. good luck with the Prusa site.

I was excited to see your work on Prusaprinters earlier today and followed you right away. Thingiverse really isn’t what it used to be so while it’s unfortunate that your account got corrupted, at least we can access your awesome designs via a properly maintained website now.

I left Thingiverse and put all my designs on Cults. Thingiverse is a joke.

Brb, gonna like and download everything you made from Prusaprinters in hopes it gives you free filament!
