Print any and every pricking iron spacing on a budget
In this video I test out my latest 3D printed leather tool, pricking irons. I test them against my Sinabroks irons to see which one gives better looking stitching. I also do some durability testing to see how long they will last before you need to print out a new set.

Hello, on rare occasion I happen to make small things in leather or imitation leather and as I have a 3D printer I wondered if it was possible to make these tools that you show (4:02), especially those which make it possible to make the holes (I don't know the name of the tools specific to leatherwork, sorry), so it would be possible, I'm curious to see if it works, but I couldn't find any .stl files corresponding to these tools so if you test them later I will follow the next videos with interest and curiosity.

It takes a very strong printed filament to be able to punch through leather however I do plan to do some testing with nylon which may be able to make a Japanese style chisel like at 4:02.

@@TeranAtelier Ok, it would be a good idea and solution for people who, like me, only make very rare leather objects and for whom investing in an expensive metal set is not a priority. I have PETG and PLA loaded with carbon fiber that I could possibly use if you manage to make a modeling set, I don't have a good grip yet to model objects or tools like in this specific case, I would look from time to time if you were able to find the time and the possibility to model this kind of tools and to see the demonstration that you will do before considering printing a set car for the carbon filament it will be necessary that I change my nozzle which currently is in 0.4 and to avoid any problems must be in 0.6 (reinforced nozzle special abrasive materials), in the meantime I will already print these tools that you suggest in this video, thank you.

@@JoshuaRilliet I will begin working on a design soon and post it on my Thingiverse. Perhaps you could try with CF filament but I am not sure how much it can help.

One of the simplest and most useful things I have printed are gapping rules for quickly measuring off 3mm, 5mm, 7mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 16mm, 20mm, and 25mm gaps for allowances for trimming, gluing, and folding, and for spacing wallet pockets.

That's a great idea. It is like having 10 sets of dividers ready how you need them.

you should print a handle that fits the replaceable metal teeth

Maybe combine both...replacement prongs are relatively cheap, about $7.00 each here in the states. Shouldn't be that difficult to design the handle to receive them. Won't last forever, but the handle is cheap to reprint.

Lol Woh. This comment just made me realize that all the coveted high end punches are really just expensive handles with the same metal bits on the end

Plastic is easily deformable, so it may quickly lose alignment and accuracy if used to punch all the way through leather. "Higher end" DIY alternative: lost PLA casting with a plaster mould and a zinc alloy. Zinc melts at 450-ish degrees celsius, has decent impact resistance even compared to other metals, and there's cheap zinc scrap everywhere. Should be a permanent solution that virtually any hobbyist can afford to manufacture.

@TeranAtelier 2 жыл бұрын

@@WhenDoesTheVideoActuallyStart Lost PLA casting is certainly a big step to take from just printing. With the amount of post casting sanding and polishing required I would think that buying and improving cheap Chinese pricking irons would be the way to go.

@jcac2013 Жыл бұрын

I like having good stuff. But there are things that are not essential. I prefer to have multiple sizes with cheaper punches. I must have like 8 different sizes.

@TeranAtelier Жыл бұрын

Some of what you pay for with premium irons is the finishing and polishing of the prongs which can definitely be done by yourself.

@alandrewgibson 2 жыл бұрын

You can of course make a custom size that does not exist in the commercial world of expensive pricking irons - 2.375 mm anyone?

@TeranAtelier 2 жыл бұрын

That's right! And maybe a a slightly larger spacing iron to help finish off the gap near the end of your stitching hole line.
