I 3D Printed These Awesome Apple Accessories! Apple Accessories are expensive and I have a AnkerMake M5C 3D Printer, so what did I do? I 3D Printed some awesome accessories for a variety of Apple products from a stylish MacBook Pro stand, to a mobile gaming rig. Check out the video and after, check out the amazing printer I used along with the incredible creations from those I mentioned.

Thank you Chris for sharing my Apple TV mount in your video! I was wondering why I suddenly got some downloads 😅. The "holes on top" downloadable files do include that hole in the middle ;) I do print them standing up with a brim (so with the gap down). No need for supports or anything.

Aha that’s amazing. I wasn’t expecting this video to garner so much response so I’m glad you’ve got an influx of downloads! I think I couldn’t be bothered to reprint it, so I did some DIY. Thanks for making it though, it’s really cleaned up my whole setup and it’s going strong!

Careful with CF petg if you don’t have a hardened nozzle it will chew through it before the end of the roll.

@michaelenglund 7 ай бұрын

Why didnt you fix the rough surface on the Home pod mini stand? Heatgun or so. I think you need to lower the print speed to not get those rough surfaces when there is a lean. Also it seems you use too little infill for things that needs to handle stress. Normal pla is fine if you have enough infill.

6:45 simple, not enough infill and layers to make it sturdier. My guess you used about 50% infill and 3 layers for perimeter?

I followed the recommended infil of 20% with that one. I’ve since reprinted it at 50% with petg and it’s showing no signs of stress or cracks :)

Awesome video. Btw, you can dramatically increase the strength of your prints by increasing the number of perimeter walls and % infill. It’s hard to tell from your video but based on the empty space inside your broken parts it looks like you are using low percentage infill. For parts I want to be as strong as possible I use 4 perimeter walls and 100% infill

@ChrisWilmshurst 7 ай бұрын

Cheeers John it means a lot! I think I printed with a 20% infill, I’ve been following the print guides they usually put on printable. 100% infill could take a long time!

@74862 7 ай бұрын

@@ChrisWilmshurst yea it can take longer but if you also get a bigger nozzle it should make up the difference if you don’t want to wait. Most printers come with a 0.4 mm nozzle. If you switch to 0.6mm your prints will complete much faster and can even be a bit stronger for the same amount of infill since the plastic being extruded is now 50% thicker than using 0.4mm. Just something to consider if you get more into 3D printing. I fell down that rabbit hole a while back and have enjoyed it ever since. It’s amazing being able to have an idea and then realizing it in the physical world so easily

@ChrisWilmshurst 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for that suggestion! I’m guessing bigger nozzles are best for bigger prints? I have 0.4 and 0.2 nozzles. I’m not sure what I’d use the 0.2 for, but I picked them up as they were on sale.

@@ChrisWilmshurst I think you need to increase your printing temperature let say by 5 - 10 deg because on video it seems like layer separation.

You can buy a decent 3d printer for as low as £150 and filament can cost as low as £10 for a kilogram… a kg of filament can print you like 20 accessories. It’s economies of scale. Think outside the box and the possibilities of what you can achieve outside of apple accessories with a 3d printer.

@ChrisWilmshurst 7 ай бұрын

Hey thanks for the help! So far my process is… Boot up the printer, clean the bed and nozzle, auto level. The new AnkerMake slicer is based off the prusa one I believe, so it’s all trial and error at this point! I’ll try out your suggestions on one future prints!

@emv143 7 ай бұрын

@@ChrisWilmshurst Orca Slicer has pre-built profiles for most printers out there. Orca Slicer is a fork of Bambu Slicer, which is based on Prusa Slicer, which is based on Slic3r. :) You'll only need to calibrate your printer just ONCE for every NEW filament want you use and you can save those profiles for future use if you run out and get a new spool. Once you set your filament and machine profiles via calibration, you'll see a BIG difference. My process AFTER calibrating: - Turn on printer - Slice model - Press Print :) I don't have the luxury of having a bed probe to auto level, but I only level my bed manually ONCE every 6 months or if I accidentally lean on the print bed. :)

@joveymcjupi4455 6 ай бұрын

Tbh for a beginner these prints don't look too bad. And while I don't really know much about this printer, I'm guessing the weird texture of the layer lines are more due to print settings rather than the quality of the printer itself. Like I'm still rocking my Ender 3 Pro from ~4 years ago, fully-stock parts n everything with little maintenance done to it and it's still printing out relatively nice stuff with the right settings!
