About the moon and star bowl. The moon on the front is the part that makes it a yarn bowl. You are supposed to feed the yarn trough that to keep it from tangling. So it has to be a hole all the way.

@studwhelm Ай бұрын

Glad I'm not the only one who was going to point it out. Also, if the sun was a separate feature, it would print fine upside-down, and you could attach it after.

@TS_Mind_Swept Ай бұрын

It could still have a hole but not be the hole thing

Ай бұрын

@@TS_Mind_Swept no. because you have to be able to take the yarn out mid project to start on something else. Otherwise you would need multiple bowls. This 3d-print is just the normal design of a yarn bowl but 3d-printed.

@TS_Mind_Swept Ай бұрын

Yes. As I didn't say the hole had to be enclosed Keepo

Kids toys all use AA or AAA batteries. I have a two year old and have quickly realized this. Also, it makes sense. Keeps the toys cheaper, the AAs last long enough and you don’t need to recharge with a crying kid asking for the toy. Plus you don’t have to worry about lithium batteries when you throw away the toy

@1234fishnet Ай бұрын

It depends if the toy has a motor or only light+sound. For a motor a rechargable battery is definitely better for the environment (and your wallet in long term). Example: toy trains.

@oliverherzog7702 Ай бұрын

Enelope AAA/AA exist and they can charged externally. Buillt in accu are the worst!

@marioxerxescastelancastro8019 Ай бұрын

I do not worry about lithium batteries. I just throw them away.

@NorbertHarrer Ай бұрын

Yes, same here. I have two kids, and they go through a ton of AA and AAA batteries. However, I switched to rechargeable NiMH batteries. I have about 20-30 of them and use a couple of crates similar to the ones shown in the video to store them. I've probably avoided buying hundreds and hundreds of regular batteries that way. It has saved me money, and it's better for the environment. And since I have enough of them, there is never any downtime. Bonus: The rechargeable batteries are very unlikely to leak when they get old.

@rache5399 Ай бұрын

Yeah, my brother and sister both have disastrous ways of keeping batteries for toys, but they also wouldn't take the time to put batteries in these holders

@IvanJoel Ай бұрын

I like that you're focusing on helping Etsy 3D print shops. Helps you and helps others. Win win. I hate that Etsy enables copy cating though.

@BradMakula Ай бұрын

We use AA and AAA for remotes and odds and ends, BUT since we use rechargeable versions, it'd be nice to have two organizers - one for spent batteries and one for fully charged

@1234fishnet Ай бұрын

I love rechargable batteries. They are much better for the environment. But for remotes it is okay to use normal batteries. They don't consume a lot of power and cheap rechargable drain without usage.

@AerialWaviator Ай бұрын

Excellent topic and video in a great format. Very informative on many levels: designers, sellers, makers, etc. This could easily be repeated each month, or every other month.

Slant you are forgetting 3D printing it’s it’s about creative products not mass production, some seller like me are rather have less sales but sell something more creative what they’ve proud of. It’s not all about the money.

@rhymecypha 2 күн бұрын

Yeah tell that to the grocery store, or gas station, or utility company... 3d printing is about melted plastic. What you do with it is up to you

@HackMonkey Ай бұрын

We use a bunch of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries for electronics, and camping. We use a top loading dispenser design. Charge them up, drop them in the top. Pull a fresh one out of the bottom! We also use 3D printed sleeves that allow the use of a AA battery in place of a C battery, and have purchased adapters to use 2 AA in place of a D cell.

Kinda wild to see my store in your video (coastlinemaker). Alot of our dragons are actually more expenses, the prices shown are just the cheapest option. I will agree though the dragons are definitely getting saturated and we are putting alot more focused into home goods type items and not as much of a focus into toys. I appreciate your content and love the videos!

I just CADed and printed a vesa mount adapter for my ROG ultrawide monitor in PETG. ASUS doesn't sell them, they're essential if you want to use a mount rather than the supplied desk hogging tripod, and they're selling for 30-50 bucks on etsy in frickin PLA!?!?!

@ligius3 Ай бұрын

I need AAA batteries for long-standby devices such as remotes and motion-activated lights, flashlights. Rechargables self-discharge before their capacity is used. AAs for temperature sensors and thermostats.

@BruteClaw Ай бұрын

So, I run wireless microphone packs at a local youth theater. And they are all designed for AA batteries. Unfortunately drop in rechargeable AAs have not been reliable enough to run 2 shows in a single day on one charge. So, we still run regular AAs in them most of the time. But they usually just get stored in the Amazon Basics box they are shipped in. If we start getting more sets of the rechargeable, then organizers like that might be great. One color for charged and one color for waiting to charge.

@akgor3k Ай бұрын

I have bunch of AA ni-mh accumulators for lights and small electronic. Printed similar battery holders for them and they are really cool.

@AbhishekRai-zu8fk Ай бұрын

Its mind-boggling that this channel does not have more subscribers.

@MaebhsUrbanity Ай бұрын

I have loads of batteries for wireless mice, wii remotes, my discman and so much else. And the despensers are useful to make sure your rechargables are cycled so no individual battery is cycled too much. I feel like things chaging on USB is still a thing for just expensive, mass produced things, maybe less common in your life.

@MinecraftMaker Ай бұрын

I have a bunch of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries that I swap in on remotes, wall clocks, scales, and other misc electronics when the batteries die. I print the milk crate holders for them myself, and I've printed some for work where we use Sennheiser wireless mic packs that use AA batteries

@fatalfallacy Ай бұрын

These battery beer crates seem to hit a sweet spot somehow. Whenever someone sees them, they seem to want a couple. Gave away a bunch to f&f last christmas, were more well received than my actual gifts, lol. I stock them now, as more than once friends or colleagues visiting me even asked for the ones I actually had in use. Also a great use of nearly empty spools for me (hobbyist, no business).

@kroozen25 Ай бұрын

Only thing with the purse hook (as a girl) the purse hook in the picture should be shown without a shelf. Oddly I would glance and not get because “How would I get purse on and off” Realistically it wouldn’t pass on it, but super quick peek I would see others thinking that

@ChuckMcKnight Ай бұрын

Regarding the batteries, I have to keep a million on hand, and it's almost entirely because of my kids. Kids' toys are still extremely reliant on AAs.

@ChuckMcKnight Ай бұрын

Flash drives and SD cards: You may not have that many, but I assure you there are plenty of us who do, haha.

@monopoly2170 14 күн бұрын

I use batteries for Wii remotes still. I’ve tried a few of the rechargeable options, but never found one that worked well

@ArcaneZorro Ай бұрын

Hey Slant, just wanted to reach out and thank you for the advice on my product! My wife and I have been watching your videos for a very long time, and we're big fans. You're spot on with your analysis, the drawers we print aren't perfect for 3D printing, as the handles require support (depending on what filament, sometimes bridging suffices, and the bottom drawer has a complex angle+fillet requiring about 25g of support per part. We've tried redesigning it a few times but kept settling on the fit and feel of the current design. Thank you for the kind words, they're incredibly validating 🙂

@slant3d Ай бұрын

Great work!

They gave you feedback? I love the channel but had one of my worst experiences sending them files for a product that prints without supports

I've still got a stash of AA and AAA batteries. Few things use them, but not none, so they'll sit around for years. Can't recall the last time I had to buy more though

I've got some computer mice that still take batteries. Steam Controller uses batteries. Smoke detectors are probably the most common item that still uses batteries. I have some Tile trackers that use batteries. EDIT: Also forgot - TV remotes take batteries too.

Some of my game controllers like the Xbox elite controller uses aa batteries. I have a AA mouse, a flashlight, a bunch of things. Rechargeable batteries just don’t last as long.

There's a thing I can't grasp, apart that if someone wants it someone buys it nm the price and it is: "How do ppl manage to even put on sale an item at less than 5 buck when there are at least 4 bucks of shipping? Even with shipping not included lez say I buy 50 bucks of goods, how can a 2-3 bucks product can even be profitable? A small print might require as little as 10g of raw plus 20 minutes of print. Which I'd price at my costs plus the 2-3 bucks. What do they do to be profitable, do they print those on their own at the bathroom?

My first real print ever was a similar battery crate design. I've since printed simpler and more functional battery holders. I go through AA and AAA batteries on a regular basis for a variety of reasons so compact storage for them has been great.

You were getting suckered the entire time, it's the oldest trick in the book on Etsy, I guess. The default shown price on the listing (before variation selection) is very often MUCH lower than the actual price *for what you want*. For example: - for the 3D printed dragon: 7" Crystal Baby $12.74, 24" Dragon And Egg, $54.9 - for the 3D printed drawers in the truck: Top drawer only, $15, Top and Bottom drawer together, $40. - Or, the toothpick cactus: Pot Only $14.99, Cactus & Pot, $39.99.
