Nice work

And to think most people simply throw away their carbide tipped blades… if we all did this we would probably never have to buy another blade. Carbide is forever as long as you have diamonds to sharpen it.

I’d suggest getting a battery backup (UPS) to plug the printer into. Save yourself hours of time if power issues arise. They can be as cheap as $50.

I've watched your content more or less since you started. I watch it primarily for the no-nonsense approach and your design ideas. This build. Making a bandsaw from mixed media, is something I'd buy the plans for happily. I'm happy to add a table out of wood, for example, while having the printer do the more involved pieces while I take care of other things.

Nice build and narration. Thanks

I am still baffled that a civilisation that could only draw in 2D could come up with such a bonkers feat of engineering, planning, organising etc...

I sit watching your videos with a huge grin on my face.

This is sheer brilliance.

The video says "free plans available", but on the website, it's not free.

You dont need to use 3D printing everywhere. |Just use it only where it make sense and its more elegant solution. Just be reasonable.

The best thing to glue plastic is Dichloromethane

What I enjoy about your videos is the engineering and creativity. I don't care if your designs involve wood, plastic, 3D, or hand planes. This particular certainly thumbs a nose to all those that insist on a cast iron work surface. Yes. They're nice. We all agree. But this design is very interesting. BTW, what kind of filament are you using? PLA? Would another filament work better? Thanks!

I really like your wood working style it has an amazing amount of engineering thinking if you know what I mean ithink a mix like the parts organiser some wood parts and printed parts bit off both mix it up love your work

Sorry i cant find the plans for this. Yes im a noob and i need plans no matter how simple 😂

Gyroid infill is stronger than cubic, but hexagonal is the strongest. You also should not rely on infill for strength; use perimeters instead. A part printed with 5% infill and 12 perimeters will be much stronger than a part printed with 50% infill and 2 perimeters.

Hey John, great stuff as always. I'll be out there trimming up the SiC tips on my blades tomo. ... Just thinking, what about the tilt angles? But I reckon i can figure that. Thanks for the video. I've learned a lot from you.

Keep making things with 3D printing and I'll keep watching

Can you please tell me what table saw is the one in this video? Thanks Great info BTW!!!

i have a 3d printer and also a lot of woodworking tools . Yes ! combine !

Brilliant!

Wow, dude! You are so awesome! Your handmade wooden tools in the background are super cool. Wish I had the knowledge and expertise you have!

Nice job bro 👍

Hey John, thanks for all the great content over the years. 3D printing is here to stay. I think this is obvious by now. It can add a lot of value to every shop if one takes his time to understand the technology, its advantages and limitations and use it where it makes sense. I think you will master it as you mastered the mix of woodworking and metalworking. A bandsaw table just isn't a part that should be 3D printed. It's too big and not really complex enough. Rather make it from plywood or metal. Instead print smaller, more complex parts like these blade guides, or parts you need a lot of. Also consider making printed parts as complex as possible to make other (no printed) parts simpler (see "complexity shifting" as Christopher Helmke (great channel btw.) called it). Like you said: "When you have a 3D printer everything looks like plastic". This is dangerous in my opinion. You are a great craftsman. Don't fall for that and become an other Ivan Miranda who just prints everything whether it makes sense or not. I think, if you use 3d printing wisely (like for instance Marius Hornberger, James Clough ...) it can add a lot of value to your shop and your channel. But I'm shure you will. Have a nice day and keep up the great work

Back when straws were legal! Contraband!

@0.28 Scarlett Johansson easter egg ?

love the project but a few recommendations for printing in the future. 1. printing threads is almost always a bad plan unless they are big for other parts. the better solution is print a hole for a threaded insert or cutting like you did. when you do this, you want more walls around that hole to allow for better grip and you also heat the screw beforehand to mold the thread rather than cutting it. 2. you can improve layer adhesion by after printing putting it in your oven for a bit to make the layers better adhere to each other. love the project and would love to see you switch the full machine over to printed parts just to see how far it can go and good job on the dowels it looks like you printed them the long way and not up right (most get that wrong the first time) i also recommend using the printer for jigs and such to speed up work as plastic tends to be cheaper then wood and i find it faster to model some weird jigs then to make them out of wood.

Cool. Always fun to see new and rational thinking on this topic rather than the absurd alien and supernatural explanations. Someday we’ll know for sure, and maybe the solution with include some of your ideas.

Trop bien, ça c'est pour moi qui rage aussi quand écrou m'échappe des mains . Merci pour ce partage

Do what you feel is most fun for you, no one wants to watch people without a passion for what they do :)

Très bon travail, réalisation ingénieuse. Je m'abonne

Each tool for the right job. If what you build requires precision and accuracy - print it. If it needs strength and size - use wood! For example, I own a Infinity, but I printed a z gantry modification to use a Kress spindle with a 43mm diameter holding area. This cannot be done with wood.

Very helpful step forward in both 3D printing and bandsaw building. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎

oh no you joined That Cult. I hear Bamboo machines are gr8 but i wouldnt know personally as i dont like cults. just get in any user group and you will soon discover the bamboo labs superiority complex.......

Nice fixture John. Great video thumbs up.

Currently hating my 3d printer. Vids like this are what I need to power through the learning curve and growing pains. Great video and creativity.

Now replace parts of the 3D printer with wood

Thank you, John. Glad you showed your mistakes. Now, I don't feel so bad when I measure twice, cut once, and STILL get it wrong. :)

The idea of the paper strip is simply brilliant! Thank you for the clue, now I can start building my moxon press :-)

Loving the 3d printer stuff

I'm most impressed that you didn't rage quit while using Freecad to design your parts. Absolute pig software that could do with a usability overhaul.

Great Video John. As a woodworker and a 3d printer person, this was a fun video. They are tools just like anything else in the shop. Great to prototype ideas and build functional parts.

Great video

You should make some 3D replacement parts for Matthias's Bandsaws.

Have you looked into wood filament that would allow you to make wood hinges that match and can be stained?

Seriously, just build a 3D printed 3D printer and be done

Nobody ever seems to consider the idea that they might have poured the stones in place like concrete

So you have to use a fence to build the fence? That's not very helpful!

Insteasd of the tall stick at the back, how about a detent in the hinge barrel on the machine the door can drop into to keep it vertical until you lift it to close?

i want you to rebuild everything using 3d printer 😂
