Very spiffy. One thing I designed and printed for my home was a bag hanger for the kitchen. (I have a small netted bag that holds the weekly buildup of shopping bags, then I empty it at the end of the week) It just screwed to the inside of a cabinet door, and it has been good ever since. Door stops, drink coasters, organization trays, etc. There's all kinds of things you can make custom for your home.

@nerys71 Ай бұрын

I make air frames using vase mode and I've gotten pretty good at a method that I call multi-surface complex vase mode you can actually create an inside and an outside surface it's a little tricky because the precision does have to be pretty within tolerances at least the minimums so hollow out the inside of the model so you now have a thickness to the wall then create your ribs your ribs must be conformal to the shape of the wall special note here you can make the cuts from the inside to the outside wall making your outside wall cleaner you need the rib to be exactly two times the nozzle diameter from the wall That's because in order to make the rib it has to create the two right angle corners in order to turn around 180° if you don't the slicer will merge the parts if it's too big you won't get fusion meaning the ribs won't fuse to the inner and outer walls and you'll lose a lot of your strength The trick here is one of the ribs needs to go all the way through both walls this creates one continuous path inside and outside allowing you to create a multi wall multi-surface complex shape that is all vase mode The advantages of vase mode or not only is the part lightweight but the part is largely error proof since there are no retractions and no travel moves this is usually where errors occur Wants that inner wall and outer wall fuse together with the ribs you create the increase in strength with almost no mass increase is really quite phenomenal this is how I design all of my fully printed rockets minimal mass maximum strength I've actually gone to the point where I can make a plastic model rocket almost as lightweight as some of the more complex paper and plywood models however I do still have a heat issue if the ejection charge gets trapped for too long inside the model well things melt :-) If you do not have to have parts inserts within each other meaning you don't need to connect parts together you can just simply set your extrusion multiplier up 5% to guarantee fusion and even with a 0.4 millimeter nozzle you end up with surprisingly strong parts while still being very lightweight and while retaining vase mode compatibility

@make.anything Ай бұрын

Thanks for the tips! I've done some similar thinks in the past with vase mode as well, but only for smaller parts... It maybe come in handy when I start printing furniture!

@nerys71 Ай бұрын

@make.anything They can hold me will definitely hold you :-) I'm actually working on making an entire building bye making 3D optimized cinder block so to speak it's not very cost effective but I have a stupidly ridiculous amount of filament and I want to do something interesting with it at that point it becomes less about finesse and strength and more about how much volume can you get out of 1 kg I've discovered I can get reasonable strength with a 950 g expenditure per 12x12x6-in block I learned the hard way you can't push too close to 1 kg as there's variance in the roles and it sucks when you run out :-)

I've got an idea right up your alley. "Plywood Furniture" for functional chairs or end tables (looks like slice,gap,slice,gap repeated). Uses allthread to combine slices together. With your capabilities in design, you could design life sized furniture on average sized print beds. Maybe PIP, hinged or lockable designs to get longer single "slices". Or TPU netting for for chair comfort. BTW love the channel

Awesome designs! Man add a shelf under the green and orange bags so the bottom of each bag is sitting on a small shelf :) that will take some of the pressure off the bag and prevent it from ripping without having to make anything large :) maybe even add a short lip to the shelf so the bag will definitely stay on it.

I don't know how I haven't run accross you before. I am subscribed to ~50 different 3D printing channels, but what I saw on yours today was truly amazing. I really look for functional prints (toys are nice but making things your need is 10x better) and you just knocked it out of the park over and over again. I'm printing your free hanger right now in silver PETG, fingers crossed I got everything right. Is there any chance you will post the free designs to MakerWorld? That would simplify consumption of your models as well as drive up subscriptions to your KZfaq channel as you could link to it for people to see the items in action. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. If the hanger works out I will be buying your full model for the extra bits and bobbles but more importantly to show my appreciation for the work you put into this. Side note - I recently backed the "hinger" Kickstarter which cost a LOT more for just a handful of fabricated hangers, and had I seen your video before hand I wouldn't have bothered *even though you approach the solution differently - you should check out her design).

Loved those brushes. Your problem with the coat hangers is because hangers are meant to be threaded up through the bottom on things with non opening fronts. Good work around though.
