"Because I can't do a project without 3d printing any more" sums up 3d printing so perfectly. Once you get into it, you wonder how the heck you kludged anything without it.

LOL yeah. And he made really nice enclosures for them a while back, but I just spotted a Sidewinder on the table behind. Well, that one's really quiet so I guess it's nicer to have it within reach.

I think this channel is a perfect example of how 3d printing can be useful in every project even just as a supporting tool for calibration / framing / spacing assistance!

It also shows how you can spend 2 hours designing and printing an object that could be made in 2 minutes out of a piece of wood

@ccow11 3 жыл бұрын

@@tiloalo LMAO! Sometimes that's true, but sometimes the dimensional accuracy of a printer for these things is much better than you can get with woodworking tools. Not to mention safer than using saws on a piece of wood that size. Hopefully that part wouldn't take anyone 2 hours to model 😂

@DavidGarcia-nx2gj 3 жыл бұрын

@@tiloalo depends this guy have a lot of experience designing so it would'nt take too much time but 3d printing oh god that takes a serious time, the benefits is you can make it better, with complex shapes and in the meantime you could be doing something else so I all i see 3d printing is better.

@88Timur88Bahmudov88 3 жыл бұрын

@@tiloalo i guess it took the same amount of time as the wooden one would take, just because he already knows the angle he needs for the table and a little square as a handle, so i guess it took like 10 minutes to model and some free time for printing

This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzfaq.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

So, my daughter and I were watching this a few minutes ago, and I asked her what you should make next. She said a desk. (You're still using that old door, right?) I told her a Jesmonite plank that big would be too heavy. She said the desk should be wood. Maybe a Jesmonite inlay? After some back and forth, we came up with the idea of a wood-topped desk, with Jesmonite drawer faces. Maybe use some of your 3D printed drawer handles to trim them out?

@lucasideri1968 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe the whole tabletop could be jesmonite with rebar as a support on the inside

I agree with both your initial skepticism of the pattern... and then your love of it after sanding! This is art! I understand how that leap of faith felt to "leave well enough alone" and let that pattern set. It turned out beautiful though

Sup Al, congratulations on the channel. Sometimes on your videos I see you lifting heavy stuff like wood boards. On a long term, this can cause serious injuries on your spine. Since is something you do quite frequently, I think you should find a solution for lifting heavy items without stressing your body so much. Greetings from Brazil!
