Күн бұрынSave your filament! I tested out some of the most popular 3D Printed tools so you don't have to. Brought to you by Sovol. Check them out at jle.vi/sovol
I love a good 3D Printed Tool - and functional 3d prints as a whole. The idea of being able to save money, time, and a trip to the hardware store, while getting EXACTLY the tool I want, in the color I want, with 3D Printable replacement parts when I inevitably break it? That, to me, is what 3D Printing is all about..
But in the last couple of years, as printers have gotten significantly better (and design competitions have gotten significantly more rewarding), I've noticed a certain trend... functional 3D Print designs are getting more and more complicated, with many more parts, much more assembly, and much more filament required...
In this video, we're going to take a look at some of the most popular, "advanced" 3D Printed Tools, and ask the question: are they worth your time, money, and most importantly... your filament?

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.

@TheOfficialOriginalChad 7 күн бұрын
Anything with threads should be printed horizontally. If you don’t like supports, then just drop a few mm of the threads under the build plate and it will work just fine. Think about it: tightening a bolt stretches it. If you print vertically, that means the force is pulling the layers apart.

Also cardboard spools for high heat filaments are a GOOD thing as it means you can dry them at higher temps that most of the polymer spools can’t withstand.

I base most of my printing related choices (which printer I got, which filaments and which settings I use) on recommendations from the 3D2A people. If they trust the materials and settings they use to withstand all the stress that a gun has to endure, then those settings will definitely allow me to print a robust little watering can or bird house.

I want to expound what @rodrigob said. Printer reviews are great but I'm pretty much set on which brand I trust. Reviewing print designs, however, is really informative and interesting. Reviewing tools also gives a great justification for 3D printing in general. Explaining how you adjusted some designs to make them work is also useful for viewers. I think this would be a great niche for you and great content for viewers/followers.

I printed a puller tool from Makerworld but the thread on the main screw did not have a start which made screwing it in to the frame impossible, the designer claimed he had no issues screwing it in, I took a closer look at the design, I was right there is no way this will work. 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. I asked the designer to post the photo of his printed puller that he claimed the bolt screwed in, as expected no photo was uploaded!
@schmiddy8433 9 күн бұрын
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.
@chriswisneski6071 9 күн бұрын
Some cardboard spools come with burnished edges to address this problem. Some brands that do this actually work reliably out of the box in the AMS, aside from occasional issues with having to add weight when the spool is low on filament.

Gotta be honest... I question whether some of these print/tool fails are user error. I've used the Pastamatic Filament Spool Winder for months and it still works great. Super clever design and super reliable. And that's with PLA+. If I have to reprint it at some point, I'll do the gears in nylon. But no issues yet. I'm also not sure why you thought an impact driver would be the tool to use for the respooler. But at least you're honest about your mistakes! I really appreciate that!
@ChippWalters 7 күн бұрын
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.

@SianaGearz 5 күн бұрын
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.

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.

Using a drill for the filament re-spooler is NUTS. Yes, that's an option, but I would argue it's a bad one. Drills are powerful and fast. Any friction created by bad tolerances or the layers in the print, rubbing on other layers, is going to create heat. Obviously, heat is the death of plastic. If it doesn't melt it, it will make it brittle. Go nice and slow, you won't tear up your rods or screw up her holes nearly as much. ;) Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast! Also, use plenty of lubrication. ;)))))) Actually, any bit of a 3d print that interacts with another print, should be lubricated. Sanding the mating surface of the print will help to smooth out the first layer, too! It's a lot of post-processing... but like any project, prep work is the key to success!

I've never known why people like to "re-spool" filament, I always just keep them on the original spools and have never run into issues 🤷🏿♀️ I did design a filament spool for a spoolless roll I got, but I just made it to slide inside the existing cardboard core it already had Also someone had a lot of Giggity fun on this one Keepo

Thanks for the video. I've seen a few videos where the filament respooling tools experience failures due to their interface with the drill/driver used to operate them. It seems like a model that has an affixed motor might hold up better, as well as can be operated more slowly. Friction wear and heat seem to be the failing points on the models.

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’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

Regarding the respooler. Never had an issue with the pastamatic. You just have to follow the print instructions carefully regarding infill and walls. Also dont go ham. Go slow with the driver...never broke anything
@thenextlayer 9 күн бұрын
My issue with the pastamatic was that the TPU flaps were not enough to stop the spool from continuing to spin if you stop with the drill.... This one, when you stop, it stops, because it's direclty driving the master spool.
@CrystalNetwork 8 күн бұрын
@@thenextlayer Ah yes i understand. I also have the tpu flaps but they dont do much. I just go slower with the drill when i see the spool almost being empty to combat this.

I rarely comment on KZfaq (mainly because I tend to watch on a smart TV) but anyhow, thank you so much for emphasising the usefulness of uploading the .STEP files! So many times I've gone to the files section and just gone... oh man! Sometimes, a remix of a file that had step files were uploaded as .stl's, what is this? Anyway, once we get over that, maybe we can then look at broken .step files, just when you think, yes, a .step, you upload it to OnShape and go... nooooo... I need to fix it first! Awesome content, thanks!

My future plans is incorporating LEDs and sound into some of the models I'm learning how to design which means soldering. Getting into prop design and gadgets later in life and videos like yours make it possible.

For the V-spooler, I just finished mine, and I agree about the center bore. It would be better to add a run-away bar on the top spool (when my spools start to get to the end, they tend to want to run off of the spool if it goes too fast). Also, I think a re-design of the screwdriver version, to add a replaceable mount would allow for less re-assembly, and only having to replace the small mount itself. Yes, mine is also noisy as hell...
@jamesperreault6800 8 күн бұрын
Cool Video. I'm not sure I would pander to the "Snow Flakes" out there. I liked the Inuendos. I'd made the re-spooler. It works. The only design change I would make would be to add a tensioner on the feed spool. The main thing I encountered was inertia on the feed spool. Once the feed or source spool started turning, it tended to keep turning. My other complaint was the screw/bolt assembly and their size. Amazon has lots of variety in the M3 bolts/screws, but the specific size required are only available as "individual" sizes and not in a variety pack. So you get creative. I.E. M3 x 10 MM I had to substitute the M3 x 12 MM and add a few lock washers to compensate. And there are a lot of them. But if you have a Bambu AMS and cardboard Filament spools, you need this. No more binding in the AMS feeder. It took me three days to print mine. Several of the tall circular towers required slowing down the printer to "Silent" mode (50% print speed), and I probably should have enabled supports while printing. I also made my wear parts out of PLA-CF to see if they retard the rapid parts wear.

Tools are the exact reason i have 3d printers. A few months ago i was putting up some shelves and while at the hardware store getting there lumber and brackets i went to get drywall plugs. I needed 12 and i could either buy them with screws in a pack of 8 for $4 each or a box of 100 for $23. The screws weren't even good and I had better ones at home. So i decided to print them off. 5 minutes on tinkercad and i had a design. Printed off a test and it was perfect so i printed off a batch of them. I printing them one at a time and just popped them off the bed and installed them in the wall as they printed. I even used an old, junk tool of pla and they worked out fantastic

@AmixLiark 9 күн бұрын
What type of nozzle do you use?
@AmixLiark 9 күн 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.

having more people in the hobby is a two edge sword/knife in my opinion. It means yes, more cool model to print, but exponentially more ''garbage'' model too. I feel like people are rushing to release model just to get more reward. I've rencently starte using maker world to download model, but I feel its only remixes and or same model from printables stolen and shared by another person.

Also evidenced by the amount of projects that the designer didn't even test print before releasing the models. Yes I understand sometimes it can benefit others to publish the project you'll neved finish because you lost interest, but you should make clear that it's work in progress so you don't waste others time 😅
