0:00if you're a woodworker wanting to learn
0:023D printing I'm going to help you cheat
0:03by giving you all the answers to the
0:05test in a single video without any of
0:07the fluff 3 years ago I knew nothing
0:09about 3D printing and I wasted thousands
0:11of dollars on the wrong printers and the
0:12wrong filament today I have 16 printers
0:14in my print farm and my real business is
0:16printing woodworking accessories for
0:18people like you so I've learned a lot
0:20over the years everything I share with
0:21you comes from my hands-on experience of
0:23printing this stuff every
0:25day for the last 3 years in this video
0:28you'll learn which printers are worth
0:29your money and which to avoid the
0:31filament types that matter for
0:32woodworking simple software settings for
0:34prole prints how to get 3D files without
0:36needing to be a designer and most
0:38importantly what to do when things go
0:39wrong when you're ready to smash it with
0:41a sledg now this isn't a typical YouTube
0:43video for me this is more like a free
0:45master class for Woodworkers who want to
0:47learn 3D printing I'm making this
0:48because I wasted so much time going down
0:50the YouTube rabbit hole and there's a
0:52lot of bad videos out there and I want
0:53to save you from that headache and just
0:55to be clear this video is not sponsored
0:57by any 3D printing company but it is
0:59sponsored by
1:00Shopify there are two common types of 3D
1:03printing SLA printing uses light to
1:05harden liquid resin into 3D printed
1:07objects by exposing a vat of resin to a
1:10light source sounds complicated I don't
1:11have any experience with SLA the
1:13printers and process needed are
1:14expensive messy it involves chemicals
1:17cleaning and curing and at that point
1:19I'm out so we're going to focus on fdm
1:22printing which builds up objects by
1:24layering very thin layers of gooey
1:26plastic like a hot glue gun imagine
1:28putting a hot glue gun control by
1:30computer on CNC XY Gantry and instead of
1:33lowering the router bit and removing
1:34material it's stacking material by
1:36raising it up that's basically an fdm 3D
1:39printer this video is going to focus on
1:40the hot glue gun variety of printing
1:42because that's the most common and
1:44affordable option to us wood workers
1:46this is a spool of filament also known
1:48as $2 to $50 of your hard-earned cash it
1:51comes in a lot of different types colors
1:53qualities and I've got a chapter coming
1:55up where I dive into all things filament
1:57it's pretty cool you'll start by saying
1:59I only need one one or two rolls but we
2:01all know you're going to fall into the
2:02same trap as every other 3D printing
2:03nerd that Hoards hundreds of spools paid
2:06for by their kids college fund the
2:08filament is fed through an extruder
2:10passes through a tube into the hot end
2:11where it is heated to over 200° C
2:15minimum the melted plastic is then
2:17extruded through a nozzle onto a
2:18specialized bed where it adheres and
2:20then begins to cool and it does that
2:22over and over again until you have a
2:24finished part now this is important and
2:27I made this mistake early on not all hot
2:29ends are created equal cheaper hot ends
2:32that come on cheaper printers will have
2:33a limit to how hot they can get safely
2:36that becomes an issue if you want to
2:37venture off into different materials
2:39Beyond common pla that have higher
2:41melting points and nozzles are the same
2:44story a cheaper stainless steel nozzle
2:46is fine for basic Plastics but if you
2:48venture off into abrasive materials like
2:50carbon fiber or glass fiber or metallics
2:53you will need a Harden still nozzle A4
2:56mm nozzle is your most common basic
2:58nozzle and that's that's what you want
3:00to start with it's the perfect goldilock
3:02size it's not too big and it's not too
3:03small now if you want a finer detail in
3:05your prints you can go down in size to
3:07point2 but it will slow down your print
3:09and if you want a faster print you can
3:11go up to 6 but you'll lose a little bit
3:13of quality if you have fine detail I use
3:15point4 in all my printers so don't
3:17overthink it that's the one you want to
3:18start with this is a magnetic Pei
3:22adhesion bed some people use glass beds
3:24because they're animals but I prefer
3:26either a smooth or textured Pei magnetic
3:29bed that is flexible for this reason
3:32right
3:34here I'd recommend getting a textured
3:36bed to start with now this 3D printed
3:38part started as a 3D model and to get
3:41that out of the Matrix and into real
3:43life it was sliced into hundreds of
3:44layers a fraction of a millimeter tall
3:47the free software that slices the model
3:49is called a slicer naturally and the
3:51slicer is where a lot of the magic
3:53happens coming up I'll show you some
3:55crucial settings and tweaks to know in
3:57your slicer that will take your prints
3:59to the profession looking level while
4:01saving you from wasting filament and
4:03wasting money and one last thing you're
4:05probably wondering how much electricity
4:07one of these printers uses and if it's
4:09expensive to run now you can get one of
4:11these magic devices to plug into your
4:13printer and it will tell you the price
4:14of electricity that it's using which is
4:17cool but let me save you the money on
4:18this device by showing you this equation
4:21the average 3D printer uses 100 Watts or
4:24.1 kwatt hours the cost of energy
4:27depends on where you live but where I
4:28live it's usually around 10 10 cents per
4:30kilowatt hour so if you take 10 cents
4:32time .1 kilowatt hour for every hour a
4:35print runs that comes out to one penny
4:38per hour of 3D printing so in theory you
4:41could run a printer for eight hours a
4:43day five days a week for a month and you
4:45would theoretically spend $160 in
4:47electricity that month for that printer
4:49in other words don't waste your money on
4:51one of these little electricity devices
4:53and stop thinking about the cost of
4:55electricity for your 3D printer your
4:56average coffee maker uses more
4:58electricity now that you understand what
5:00a 3D printer does you're probably
5:01wondering which one should you buy or
5:03not buy this is the creality Ender 3v2
5:07and it was the first printer that I
5:08bought it cost me around 350 bucks once
5:11I replaced all the weak components of it
5:13that fail almost immediately when you
5:15use it this is one of the most common
5:17printers and you can find this style all
5:19over snapface use for probably 100 bucks
5:22at one point my print Farm had 12 of
5:24these but I sold them all because
5:26they're slow and more crucially
5:28unreliable if you're Str in them in
5:30printing a lot in a print Farm now some
5:32people love these printers but most
5:34beginners hate them they're really fussy
5:36what you save in money you will pay a
5:39100 times over in frustration and wasted
5:41plastic and if you're a beginner I
5:43suggest you pass on this model there's a
5:45reason why they're for sale on
5:46Craigslist this is the prusia Mini Plus
5:49I think I paid around 450 bucks for it
5:52just don't it costs more than the Enders
5:55has a smaller print bed in the same
5:57print quality I thought it was a waste
5:58of money this is the peria I3 Mark III I
6:01bought two of them and paid $800 each
6:03because everyone told me they were so
6:05much better than the Ender here's a hot
6:07take I don't love them now one of these
6:10is printed by an Ender and one of them
6:12by a prusia can you tell the difference
6:15no now I was able to get my cheap Enders
6:17to look as good as the peras for a lot
6:19less now here's the good we owe a lot to
6:22perusia they help Pioneer this whole
6:24thing and the puses are way more stable
6:27and reliable to Enders for sure this
6:29printer is basically a Toyota jeep solid
6:33reliable and easy to fix when it breaks
6:35down but the problem is they're pretty
6:37slow and prusia seems to be falling
6:39behind in technology my friend Travis
6:42recently said prusia has become the
6:44Blackberry of 3D printers which is kind
6:46of funny now if this printer cost 400
6:48bucks I'd say it's a good deal but the
6:50new markv version which is a big
6:52Improvement is still $1,100 plus
6:55shipping and import duties and for that
6:58price you can get something better and
7:00you should now it's time to talk about
7:02the 5,000lb panda in the room when
7:04bamboo first came onto the scene I was
7:06very skeptical because a lot of 3D
7:08printing companies from overseas have
7:10made a big splash promised crazy Tech
7:12took everyone's money and then they
7:14basically disappear and I expected
7:15bamboo to do that so despite not loving
7:18my 12 Enders I stayed with them despite
7:21the hype of the bamboo p1p Bamboo sent
7:24shock waves into the 3D printing
7:26Community with this machine this is how
7:27slow the Enders print
7:31and this is the
7:40p1p it's certified nuts and you can get
7:43one of these for about 500 bucks now
7:45which is $100 more than I paid for with
7:48my upgraded Enders but I don't think you
7:50should buy this printer but for a
7:51woodworker I think you want an inclosed
7:54chamber mainly to keep salest outout but
7:56also to regulate the temperature around
7:58the print to control the cooling so if
8:01peria is the Blackberry you want to buy
8:03the Apple looking 3D printer the
8:05flagship x1c from bamboo right not so
8:08fast it's 1,200 bucks and it prints the
8:11same speed as the $500 p1p but has an
8:14enclosure touchscreen some cameras to
8:17detect print failures and an upgraded
8:19nozzle and extruder gear for abrasive
8:21filaments so many people buy this
8:23printer and I get it it's nice I love
8:26mine it's beautiful I haven't found
8:28anything wrong with it it's basically a
8:29perfect 3D printer it's just that if
8:32you're getting into this I think there's
8:34another option that often goes unnoticed
8:36and this the one that I went with it's
8:38time we talk about the middle child the
8:40p1s it's the middle of Bamboo's top tier
8:43line and I think it's the best value 3D
8:45printer this is the exact printer that I
8:47replaced my 12 Enders with I paid for 10
8:49of these printers and I love them I use
8:52them every day for my business now if
8:54you compare the p1p the p1s and the x1c
8:57you will get the same print speeds and
8:58print quality quity from each one and
9:01the p1s is half the price of the X now
9:04the print bed is the same size and it's
9:06big enough to do everything you're going
9:07to want to do plus there's no manual
9:10calibration needed with these printers
9:12there's also very little setup I usually
9:14start printing about 15 minutes out of
9:16the box now is a touchcreen in a camera
9:18that detects a bad first layer worth
9:20$600 well that's for you to decide but
9:23for me I'd rather go with the best value
9:25and that's the p1s now I hate the
9:27interface on the p1s but instead of
9:29paying 600 bucks to get a touchscreen I
9:31use the touchcreen I already have and
9:33use my phone to control the printer now
9:35there's some tricks I'll show you in the
9:37slicer chapter that are free and it will
9:39help you get a perfect first layer 99%
9:41of the time so you don't need to depend
9:43on special software in the x1c now if
9:46the cost of the p1s is too much for you
9:48you can save a couple hundred bucks and
9:49get the A1 which is Bamboo's open frame
9:51printer that's in the shape of the Ender
9:53and the prusa now I don't have an A1 so
9:55take all of this with a grain of salt
9:57but I know a few people who have them in
9:59love them they seem to work fine for a
10:01hobbyist but I would not recommend them
10:03for a print Farm I will reiterate for a
10:05workshop environment I think an enclosed
10:07printer like the p1s is going to end up
10:09serving you much better over time than
10:12an open-frame printer if you're familiar
10:14with the bamboo printers then you've
10:15probably seen this accessory sitting on
10:17top a lot of them it's called the AMS
10:20now I'm conflicted with the AMS and my
10:22thoughts are somewhat nuanced here so go
10:24with me my first impressions were that I
10:27didn't like it it felt very version one
10:291.0 to me it's not terrible it's just
10:32that the bamboo printers are so
10:33well-designed and made they don't feel
10:35like junk that the AMS being all plastic
10:37kind of feels cheap and coming in hot at
10:40350 bucks I think it's overpriced now if
10:43it were 99 bucks or $199 I think could'
10:45be a good value that said there's a lot
10:47of reasons you might want an AMS with
10:50one AMS you can do four Color Prints you
10:53can link a Max of four of them together
10:55and Achieve 16 Color Prints which is
10:57crazy now one downside printing with a
10:59single spool is if you run out mid print
11:02it'll interrupt your print and if you're
11:04away from the printer or you're sleeping
11:05that can be a huge issue but with the
11:07AMS there's a seamless transition to
11:09backup with a new spool you'll get
11:12uninterrupted Printing and it minimizes
11:13waste and failed prints you can also do
11:16multimaterial prints and use special
11:18support filament that breaks away easier
11:20or even dissolves and the AMS has an
11:23airtight seal uses desicant material to
11:26absorb moisture keeping your filament
11:27dry which is super important
11:29a built-in humidity sensor monitors the
11:31moisture levels inside the AMS alerting
11:34you if humidity Rises or if the desate
11:36needs to be replaced which is kind of
11:37smart now those are all cool and useful
11:40features but my favorite feature is when
11:42you use bamboo filaments their filaments
11:45have hidden RFID tags on the inside and
11:48the AMS can read which filament you just
11:50loaded and it automatically loads the
11:52profiles brings up the right default
11:53settings and it's super easy for those
11:56of us who are used to loading and
11:57building our own filament profiles the
11:59old way this feels like cheating and
12:01it's pretty cool now if you want to do
12:03multicolor prints or have multiple
12:04filaments ready to go at a moment's
12:06notice then this is a must other than
12:08that I don't use it as much as I thought
12:10I would it's a luxury and I think it
12:12should be priced lower in order to 3D
12:14print you need a 3D model and if you
12:16don't know how to 3D model anything
12:18you'll be pleased to know that it's
12:19pretty easy to find 3D files for almost
12:21anything you need usually for free now
12:24if you want more specialized and higher
12:26quality designs there are many designers
12:28out there who sell specific Solutions
12:30very affordably and I'm more than happy
12:33to pay someone the equivalent of a cup
12:35of coffee in exchange for their
12:36intellectual property in design time
12:38that I couldn't do this is called
12:40thingiverse and it's free once you Wade
12:42through all the ads it's decent I give
12:44it a solid B minus sometimes a C+
12:47depending on the type of day that the
12:49server is having there's a lot of junk
12:51on there because anyone can upload to it
12:54but there's also some really good finds
12:56then there's principles which is from
12:58prusia and generally really really good
13:01models and designers on there A+ for
13:03sure and no ads which is a bonus maker
13:06world is Bamboo's filesharing site and
13:09in the beginning there was not much on
13:11there so I ignored it but every day
13:13there are more and more models being
13:14uploaded to maker world now one thing
13:17that sets them apart is you can find a
13:19file on your phone and directly send it
13:21to your printer without opening a slicer
13:23on your computer so handy which is
13:26actually the name of the phone app handy
13:29there's a few other sites like things
13:30but principles makeer world and
13:33thingaverse are the ones that I mainly
13:35use in that order the files you download
13:37are called stls usually and any STL will
13:41work with any 3D printer so you're not
13:43locked in now two special things to note
13:45here one remixes are really cool usually
13:48someone will start with an idea and then
13:50other people can remix that design and
13:51make tweaks or upgrades and then they
13:53post that for you to download it's
13:55really cool to see a community of makers
13:57collectively making things better
13:59together for free now second pay close
14:02attention to the commercial license a
14:05lot of people work hard on these files
14:06and offer them for free and depending on
14:08their Preference they have the option to
14:10restrict files from commercial use or
14:13they can allow it and there are some bad
14:15faith characters out there who download
14:17these even if the license bans from
14:20commercial use then they go on Etsy or
14:22eBay or snapface and sell the prints
14:24illegally passing them off as their own
14:26designs those people are the worst
14:29and they should be forced to binge watch
14:31bin woodworking these file sharing sites
14:33are incredible but they're also
14:35overwhelming so to get you started my
14:37design partner Steve and I created a
14:39bundle with a bunch of basic woodworking
14:42files that we designed that we like and
14:44even using our own shops they're
14:46applicable to almost every wood worker
14:48solve a problem and they're easy to
14:50print giving you a quick win right out
14:52of the gate they will save you so much
14:54time from searching through tens of
14:55thousands of models looking for the
14:56basic ones that everyone wants there's a
14:59Link in the description below to my
15:00online store where you can buy the pack
15:02and start printing today without
15:04searching through a bunch of files
15:06there's also a bonus file in there that
15:08we just designed that will give you a
15:09nice laugh if you've been watching the
15:11channel for any amount of time now in a
15:13moment I will walk you through 25 more
15:15of my favorite files that you can find
15:17for free that are specific to
15:19woodworking but what if you want to make
15:21your own files if you've never modeled
15:24anything check out Tinker CAD that's
15:26where I got started it's like the
15:28program Microsoft paint pretty basic but
15:30it'll get simple jobs done without
15:32overwhelming you with tons of tools feel
15:35free to judge me but I still use Tinker
15:36Gad today here's an example of how
15:38simple it is I'm making a scale model of
15:41my new workshop that I'm building and I
15:43want to get an idea of how to lay out
15:44all my tools Travis from shop Nation did
15:47this a while back and I got a lot of
15:49files from him on things for free but
15:51there were some specific tools that I
15:53still needed I wanted to see how this
15:55bench would look in the new space so we
15:57modeled up a basic version and tiker Cad
16:00and about 30 minutes later I had a
16:02oneofakind 124th scale Craig bench for
16:05my maker
16:06dollhouse Tinker cat has its obvious
16:08limitations and if you want to get more
16:10serious and use the Photoshop equivalent
16:12check out Fusion it can be overwhelming
16:15for a beginner Bob from I like to make
16:17stuff has a fusion course specifically
16:19tailored to Makers if you want to get
16:21straight to it and learn what you need
16:23to learn to make woodworking projects I
16:25bought it last year and it's fantastic
16:27of course there's loads of YouTube
16:29channels dedicated to teaching Fusion or
16:31even SketchUp one channel I've learned a
16:33lot from is product design online this
16:36is the Internet it's amazing what you
16:37can learn for free now thank you Al Gore
16:40I took the initiative and creating the
16:43internet if opening a slicer is
16:45intimidating I totally understand the
16:47first time that I went to print
16:49something I was really intimidated and
16:51didn't know where to start and I'm a
16:53computer guy I'll show you just how easy
16:55it is and there's some slick tricks that
16:57I use on every print that I do
16:59commercially and for myself remember
17:02when I talked about how one of the
17:03features of the x1c printer is that it
17:06inspects the first layer and also
17:07monitors for spaghetti failure those are
17:10truly amazing features but I don't
17:12depend on those which is why I bought
17:13the p1s and the reason I can get away
17:16with that is with these tricks in the
17:17slicer what I'm about to show you took
17:19me so many videos on YouTube to find I
17:21don't remember where I found it but it's
17:23not original to me but it works every
17:24time to get a strong foundation for any
17:273D print you want the strongest adhesion
17:30possible and that starts with getting
17:32the best first layer on your 3D print
17:35here's what I do I first go to my
17:37temperature settings for my bed and on
17:39the first layer I set it to be about 5°
17:42hotter than usual so my first layer is
17:45usually 65° Cs and then the rest of the
17:48print it goes down to 60 then I go to my
17:51nozzle I set that first layer to be
17:54about 5° hotter than usual so usually
17:57for pla I'll print at two 220 so for my
18:00first layer I set it to 225 then I go to
18:03my layer height I usually print at2 mm
18:06layer height so for the first layer I
18:08bump that up to. 28 then I go to the
18:11nozzle width now depending on your
18:13nozzle width you can go up to 150% more
18:17for your width so I usually set my first
18:19layer width to be 0.55 or6 when I'm
18:23using A4 nozzle I then go to my first
18:27layer speeds and I slow that that thing
18:29down all the way to 30 mm/ second which
18:33is really slow now all of these settings
18:35combined for your first layer are going
18:37to give you a solid base layer that is a
18:40little bit thicker and a little bit
18:41taller and a little bit harder than
18:43normal giving you the best chance for
18:45Success because you want a nice fat
18:48squish now before we hit print we're
18:50going to make sure our print bed is
18:51clean I try my best not to touch the
18:53print bed because the oils on our hands
18:55can get on the surface and make it
18:57impossible to stick to to clean your bed
18:59just wash it in warm soapy water at the
19:01sink dry it and then spray 91% IPA on it
19:05wipe it off and you're good to go one
19:08pro tip here never spray the IPA on a
19:11hot print bed it will just evaporate
19:13immediately and it'll reduce the
19:16adhesion of the bed now if you want to
19:18take this a step further which is what I
19:19do go raid your kids's backpack and
19:21steal an Elmer's glue stick there are
19:24really expensive special 3D printing
19:26glue sticks in the market hard note just
19:28pass on it use the cheapest Elmer it's
19:30okay this will help the plastic stick a
19:32little bit more but it also give a
19:34buffer layer so you won't have too much
19:36adhesion and fuse the parts to the bed
19:39which can happen with filaments like pet
19:41G and others I can't overstate how
19:44important this first layer trick is you
19:46can spend an extra 600 bucks to get an
19:48x1c that has spaghetti detection and
19:50that'll check for a good first layer and
19:52that technology is amazing but I just
19:54use these settings and I get a perfect
19:56print every time because of that first
19:58layer now a common problem that you'll
20:01run into is stringing stringing is super
20:04frustrating because there can be a lot
20:05of different causes and sometimes it's
20:08hard to pinpoint which one it is
20:10stringing can be caused by moisture in
20:12the filament the specific Hardware that
20:14you're using slicer settings the
20:16geometry of your design or a combination
20:19of all of those which is frustrating I
20:21once had a stringy issue that developed
20:23randomly one day on a printer and a part
20:25that had printed perfect a thousand
20:27times before after going through all the
20:29checklist and watching 200 videos on
20:32YouTube trying to figure out stringing I
20:33changed the nozzle to a fresh one and
20:35perfect prints returned now I used to
20:37get clogs all the time with my Enders
20:39but with my bamboo printers I hardly
20:41ever get a clog unless I'm using carbon
20:43fiber that said clogs happen for a
20:46variety of reasons usually because the
20:48nozzle temp is too low or there's old
20:50filament remits in there that are stuck
20:51clogging things up sometimes I'll get a
20:54filament and it'll say to printet say
20:56200 C but if I hear click in the
20:59extruder and it clogs or underere
21:01extrudes that's a clue that the filament
21:03isn't soft enough and so I'll raise my
21:05temperature up in 5 degree increments
21:07until I get a good flow now if you see
21:10prints that start to look like this then
21:12you probably have a clog slowly
21:14developing this is called undere
21:16Extrusion and when you get a clog and
21:18you will there are two ways to go about
21:20cleaning them the first is by throwing
21:23the printer out I'm kidding you don't
21:24need to do that you can use a thin
21:27needle to unclog the kn nozzle once the
21:29nozzle is hot and it usually works for
21:31me these usually come with your printer
21:33but every now and then you might have a
21:34serious clog in the thread the needle
21:36trick doesn't work if that's the case a
21:40cold pool is your best friend cool your
21:42nozzle down to 0 degrees and then you
21:45heat it back up and around 120° C you
21:49start pulling on the filament now it
21:51won't come out because it hasn't
21:53softened yet and it's still fused to the
21:54nozzle but as it approaches its melting
21:56point you'll reach a point where you
21:58will suddenly be able to pull it out
22:00when it comes out it'll grab anything
22:02that is clogging the nozzle I like to do
22:05this with a white pla filament so I can
22:07see the gunk that it's removing and the
22:09shape of the nozzle which is kind of
22:11cool and I usually do this two to three
22:13times for good measure and then I'm good
22:15to go now if you keep getting clogs
22:17considered upping the nozzle size I fell
22:19in love with a pet GCF recently but
22:21despite all my best attempts the4 nozzle
22:24would clog about one in every 10 prints
22:27so I changed to a 6 Noz puzzle and it
22:29printed perfectly and faster and
22:31stronger here's everything else you need
22:33to know about slicing in under 90
22:35seconds to get a file into the slicer
22:38just drag it in if you want to change
22:39how the file is facing down you can hit
22:41this Auto button or manually select the
22:44face using this tool to scale a file up
22:47or down you do that here and this is a
22:49common thing you'll do when fine-tuning
22:51parts that need to fit snug like a dog
22:53hole cover you can duplicate your file
22:55by right clicking on it or by copy and
22:57pasting with the keyboard you can also
23:00click fill bed with copies and get this
23:02which is cool if you're printing
23:04something for the first time to test it
23:05you can save print time and material by
23:08reducing the walls and also by reducing
23:10the infill for normal prints I usually
23:12do 3 to four walls and 20% infill start
23:16there if you're having problems with the
23:17print sticking while printing you can
23:19add a raft and it will snap off easily
23:22after you're done sometimes you don't
23:23need to add supports click this button
23:25and it will add them automatically tree
23:27supports are my favorite you can also
23:30cut a file this is a scribing block
23:32that's in our special STL pack it uses a
23:35utility knife and is really useful when
23:37scribing trim if you want a half-in
23:39scribe block note this number right here
23:41go into the cut settings input it
23:43perform the cut and delete the rest
23:45there you go congratulations you now
23:47know enough to start printing and we
23:49only wasted 90 seconds of your time
23:51you're welcome I'm sure in your
23:52woodworking Journey you've come across
23:54problems that really bothered you and
23:56those are prime opportunities to come up
23:58with this the solution that other people
24:00would probably pay you for and there's
24:02no better place to sell those Solutions
24:04than the sponsor of today's video
24:05Shopify that's exactly what I did with
24:07track saws there are some things about
24:09track saws that bothered me like this
24:11hole in the side or the sharp ends of a
24:13track so I made some solutions with 3D
24:18printing and then I offered them to the
24:20world with Shopify and that's when
24:22things got really crazy we just did the
24:24same thing with trim routers we made
24:26this oversized base and Custom Design
24:28this dust shoot to collect most of the
24:30sawdust when routing we just released
24:31these and have shipped over 645 around
24:34the world already now when people ask
24:36how do you buy all these track saws or
24:38trim routers or 3D printers the answer
24:41is legitimately Shopify now I didn't go
24:43to business school and I don't know how
24:45to code it still blows my mind that
24:47someone like me can run a business that
24:49ships around the world using my
24:50smartphone they've really figured out
24:52how to take all the complexity out of
24:54running an online business there's no
24:55need to code they have a simple drag and
24:57drop store edor which helps me easily
24:59make changes to my storefront anytime I
25:02want they have this live view tool that
25:04is awesome it shows you in real time
25:06where people are viewing your store the
25:08marketing tools are easy to use and the
25:09back office dashboards and analytics
25:11help me oversee all of my operations
25:14it's easy to track my orders manage
25:15inventory issue discounts and create new
25:17product listings now if you have a
25:19business idea or you already own a
25:21business go to shopify.com witworks to
25:23get started so you can build the life
25:25you want similar to woodworking you want
25:27your material material to be as dry as
25:29possible just as excessive moisture in
25:31wood can ruin a project too much
25:33moisture in filament can lead to
25:35problems like Clogg nozzles undere
25:37Extrusion and weak Parts I learned this
25:39lesson the hard way and wasted a lot of
25:41money on cheap filament if you buy low
25:44quality filament you're almost always
25:46going to regret it those manufacturers
25:48skimp on the drying process to maximize
25:50profits and keep costs low that's why
25:52it's cheap the result is you're going to
25:54have problems printing because there's
25:56too much moisture content it's like
25:58making a table out of 2x sixes with 20%
26:01moisture content versus properly milled
26:03riffs on White Oak the outcome and the
26:05joy you get in the process of making it
26:08is going to be completely dependent on
26:10the quality of the source material and
26:12how dry it is in the beginning of my
26:14journey this was a big frustration for
26:16me one day I gave in and bought some
26:18print for $38 a roll and I was blown
26:22away with how perfect it printed no
26:24stringing no undere Extrusion no clogs
26:26some prints would look so perfect they
26:28almost seemed injection molded your
26:30takeaway here is with filament you often
26:32get what you pay for I wasted a lot of
26:34money on filament from Amazon companies
26:36that I can't pronounce their name they
26:38seem to be hit or miss mostly Miss for
26:41my commercial prints I use a company
26:43called protop pasta but their rolls are
26:4550 bucks a roll I buy in bulk and get a
26:48discount but it still comes out to about
26:49$38 a roll and that's probably way too
26:52much for you and I would agree with that
26:54recently I tried a bunch of different
26:56options from bamboo and I had very low
26:58expectations now I want to reiterate I'm
27:00not sponsored by them and they didn't
27:02pay me to make this video but I've been
27:03testing their filaments for the past 7
27:05months and I've decided to start
27:06transitioning some of my commercial
27:08prints to some of their stronger
27:09filament options because it's better and
27:11cheaper when you consider the RFID tag
27:14the affordable cost the wide range of
27:16strength and use case options the great
27:18quality and the ease of print it's kind
27:20of hard to not like them and it really
27:22feels like cheating and I'm a customer
27:24if you're just starting out and you have
27:25a bamboo printer don't waste time on
27:27Amazon or any of those other companies
27:29just drink the panda Kool-Aid and get
27:31their filament It's usually the same
27:33price as what you'd find on Amazon
27:35anyway plus they're made to work with
27:36their machines quality filament from the
27:38start is only half of the problem the
27:40other half is on you keeping the
27:42filament dry that's because 3D printing
27:44materials are hygroscopic which is a $15
27:48word that basically means it absorbs
27:51moisture from the air so it's necessary
27:54to both dry the filament when making it
27:56and maintain its dryness which can be a
27:57challeng CH if there's high humidity in
28:00your environment a lot of people store
28:01their filament on a wall and out in the
28:03open it looks cool it's certainly
28:05convenient but I don't do that I'm
28:07probably paranoid but I store all of my
28:10filament in a waterproof storage tote
28:13that has a rubber gasket seal on the lid
28:16I throw the desant that come with the
28:17filament in there to absorb any moisture
28:19and it works I've had some of these
28:21rolls for 3 years and they're still
28:23printing perfectly when I call on them
28:26and when you open filament if it comes
28:28in a resealable bag keep that and store
28:30the filament in it with a desicant when
28:33you're not using it filament types is a
28:35whole Rabbit Hole so here's the
28:37distilled breakdown of what you need to
28:39know to get started pla is your most
28:42common and basic filament type it's what
28:44you want to start with and it's good for
28:45basic prints especially if they're not
28:48going to be subjected to extreme
28:49temperatures or mechanical stress the
28:52cool thing about pla is it's a natural
28:55polymer derived from renewable resources
28:57such as corn starch or sugar cane it's
29:00intended to replace commonly used
29:02petroleum based Plastics like pet and
29:05it's definitely what you want to start
29:07with you can get pla in pretty much
29:09every color including some cool
29:11multicolor options metallic and marble
29:15the pros is cheap and easy to print if
29:17you can't print pla I'm sorry this hobby
29:20is not in the cards for you the cons it
29:23melts easily in hot environments and is
29:25brittle it's not very strong so if you
29:27want 3D print tool holders that will
29:29live in your garage pla is risky
29:32depending on how heavy the tool is
29:33there's other filaments for that PG is
29:36one of those and it's the next step up
29:38it's stronger more durable and more
29:40impact resistant has a little bit of
29:42flex in it pet G also resists chemicals
29:44and water better and can withstand
29:46higher temperatures which is why I like
29:48it now after you successfully print with
29:51pla petg is your next Milestone the pros
29:55higher melting temp and has a slight
29:57Flex to to it making it less brittle the
29:59cons because of the higher melting point
30:01you need a hot end that can safely reach
30:03those temperatures which cheaper
30:05printers usually don't have petg also
30:07has the ability to stick too much to
30:09your build plate which can ruin your
30:11build plate glue stick is your friend
30:13here I always use glue stick on the
30:15print bed when using petg ABS is
30:18probably something you're more familiar
30:19with as it's often been used in
30:21commercial Plastic Products it's got
30:23some toxic fumes and is a pain to print
30:27due to its wor P but I just discovered a
30:29new version of ABS that I was able to
30:32print perfect the first time shocker
30:34it's from bamboo and it has glass fibers
30:36in it hence the GF here it's about 30
30:39bucks a roll which is a deal for the
30:41quality of this stuff I've begun
30:43transitioning all of my commercial 3D
30:45prints from petg to this ABS GF it's
30:49cheaper than my current petg supplier
30:51and is stronger so it's a win-win it's
30:53my new favorite filament the pros it's
30:55durable and has a high impact resistance
30:58the cons it can be tricky to print due
30:59to warping and the fumes are concerning
31:01so make sure you print in a well
31:03ventilated area ASA is a modified
31:06version of ABS with added acret making
31:08it more weather resistant and better at
31:10handling UV exposure now I've not done
31:13this this is pretty cool I've seen
31:14examples of people printing outdoor
31:17birdhouses and even drone Parts with
31:20Asa the pros crazy UV in temperature
31:23resistance and high impact strength and
31:26durability cons it tends to warp due to
31:28temperature differences between the
31:30model and its surroundings ASA also
31:32emits potentially harmful fumes during
31:34printing so like ABS it's important to
31:37use it in a well ventilated area pa6 is
31:40one of the most extensively used
31:43Plastics globally a lot of your car
31:45parts and Tool Parts in your shop are
31:47injection molded using pa6 the pros
31:51Superior strength and stiffness with
31:53exceptional thermal resistance cons it's
31:57highly sens sensitive to humidity and
31:59usually needs to be dried in a dryer
32:01before use and it's on the more
32:03expensive range of filaments at around
32:04$43 a spool now speaking of temperature
32:08resistance we took a blow tors to one
32:11and it did not want to stay on fire now
32:13TPU is a type of plastic that's a
32:15combination of rubber and plastic with
32:18properties of both that means it's both
32:20flexible and durable the floor mats in
32:23your car as well as your phone case most
32:25likely a form of TPU the pros is
32:29flexible in more rubbery the cons it can
32:32be really challenging to print without
32:34stringing or cosmetic problems I haven't
32:36mastered it yet it needs to be printed
32:39slower and is more on the expensive
32:41range of filaments at 41 bucks a spool
32:43depending on the quality it does not
32:46like fire it basically melted like a
32:51marshmallow unfortunately not everything
32:53you need comes with your 3D printer now
32:55here are 10 small tools that I found
32:57myself using using all the time a flush
32:59trimmer 100% non-negotiable use this
33:01tool to cut filament at a 45° angle so
33:04that it will feed better into your
33:06printer I also use this to flush cut any
33:08extra material digital calipers you
33:11might already have these already but
33:12it's helpful to have in designing and
33:14also double-checking to make sure that
33:16your printer is accurately reproducing
33:19what's in the slicer a brass brush I
33:21have a cheap one from Harbin Freight
33:23that I use occasionally to clean nozzles
33:25and it's awesome your printer probably
33:27came with a thin needle do not throw
33:29this away you will need this for clogs a
33:31Dremel is nice to have for a cleanup
33:33task and for sanding Parts sometimes
33:35I'll use a p putty knife or a spatula to
33:37get print off the print bit Elmer's Glue
33:39don't buy expensive 3D printing glue
33:41just raid your kids backpack 91% IPA in
33:44case you don't know the higher the
33:46percentage the faster it evaporates
33:48which is great to have with electronics
33:50Don't Spray it on the bed when it's hot
33:52a heat press eventually you might want
33:54to set threads into 3D printing parts
33:56and this heat press does that and it's
33:58super cool a dryer if you have wet
34:01filament you can put it in a dryer and
34:03it will take the moisture out of your
34:04plastic this is a must to have now this
34:06is my favorite part of the video because
34:08the creativity out there is unreal I'm
34:10going to go through these rapid fire but
34:12I'll link to all of these in the
34:13description below these are prints that
34:14you want to save and print at some point
34:17one of the first things you should print
34:18are cordless battery holders for
34:21whatever drill you have go to think of
34:22verse type in DeWalt this is my favorite
34:25DeWalt battery that I've printed this
34:27one is for Makita and out of all the
34:30designs this one's my personal favorite
34:32easy to print and I have printed maybe
34:3410 of these I plan on printing these
34:36Milwaukee ones soon I'm a Makita man and
34:38a festal fanboy but this is for all my
34:41RI people go to thingiverse or
34:43printables and type in Ryobi
34:4618V you're welcome just remember if you
34:49print these to hang heavy tools use PG
34:52pla will not be strong enough in a
34:54garage that gets hot it will fail your
34:56tool will fall on the ground and almost
34:58hit your wife's car ask me how I know I
35:00know a lot of people have ego batteries
35:02for their yard gear and this is the best
35:05Ego battery holder that I found I love
35:07this thing slim easy to print the very
35:10first thing I printed 3 years ago was a
35:13miter SLO bar I kind of hate making
35:15hardwood Runners for my table saw and I
35:17don't like paying a lot of money for the
35:19aluminum metal ones so I just print
35:21these use them for all my sleds and jigs
35:24super easy and satisfying to make
35:26regardless of the sander you have is
35:27probably a file that will hold your
35:29sander to the wall even if you have a
35:313x4 surf prep here's a great file for
35:34that I also printed this one for my
35:36festal sander if you have these ratchet
35:39style clamps there's so many options for
35:41you to store them and this is the one
35:43that I use also I love the stop block
35:45that keeps it from collapsing when using
35:47it on an mft table I'm about to blow
35:49your mind the number one reason you
35:51should get a 3D printer is this vacuum
35:54hose adapters 77 of them pretty much any
35:57connection you will ever need for desk
35:59collection is right here for free if you
36:03want to do something cool like a flat
36:05hose tunnel this is a cool file if
36:07you've ever needed to use setup blocks
36:09or shims and you just don't want to use
36:12the planing card trick here you go now
36:14for you hand tool purist if you've lost
36:16your chisel sheath someone made a
36:18replacement that you can print I mean
36:20doesn't get more obscure in Niche than
