Watching this on 2x speed and I feel like I'm being waterboarded
I would recommend only modelling half of the box. It will save a bunch of clicks, and also allow the sketches to be cleaner. In general, a good rule is: Never mirror at the sketch level if you don't have to. Always mirror at the body level if you can. Also, at 4:19, you have a line directly over the top of another line, which is not good practice IMHO - instead you should have split the existing line into two
Thanks for the tips and feedback! We'll take another look at our workflow :)
Great tutorial. Music is calming And not overpowering, and I love the step graphics!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
How can I make this! This would change my fiancés life
nice, hinge side on printing bed when printing, I assume?
Thanks! That's correct, hinge side down :)
Great Tutorial Jason! 👌🏼
Any updates regarding when you will post the print files? Can’t wait to use this!
Hi there! Please can you send an email to hello@weareprintlab.com and we'll have our team get back to you about this :)
God bless you keep up the good work. It is very inventive and original.
Thank you for sharing your process. Looking forward to the rest of the videos in the series.
Can this be purchased somewhere or not? I know someone having major hand surgery who needs something like this?
Hi there! At the moment we only offer the files for people to 3D print. If you know anyone with a 3D printer (check out local libraries/makerspaces), you can send them the link to the files - www.printables.com/model/753450-drag-assistive-writing-and-drawing-device. If you are based in the US/Canada, you can check out www.makersmakingchange.com/s/, who 3D print devices for free via their volunteer network. Hope that helps :)
Are you using DIY kits or you have your own way of growing? I want to try it without ordering anything,just getting the products myself.
Hi there! For this project, we used the kits from grown.bio/. You can certainly experiment with growing mycelium from scratch though!
Really good device, what size spring ? as it's not shown on thingiverse page. thanks.
Hi there! We reached out to the designers and here is the response: We used a .25" bar stock (a pen or pencil would work too but having a long bar at least 18" is key to spreading things out.) then made a really long spring and cut it to fit. We just used a heat gun and took our time, it took a few attempts before we figured it out. The coil spacing was the key, make sure to keep the coils spread out a bit it seemed to work best.
✌️ "Promo sm"
Rob. Thank you very much for sharing your idea. I'm from Brazil and I have a son with cerebral palsy. I'm already 3D printing the DRAG, I believe this will help us a lot with it. We need more people like you to make a better world. Count on me to test and print more parts, let's help more people together.
No problem at all! Do let us know how you get on with the DRAG device :) It'd be great to hear any feedback
What 3D print filaments are suitable for making the cast mould for the mycelium to grow in?
We used PLA for our moulds and they worked fine - just remember to give them a wipe with ethanol first :)
actually pretty useful, but how much harder was it to play chess without a visual of the board?
Hi there! We're not in touch with the designers anymore but that's a good question and we're sure it would take a lot of practice. The full sighted play could also play without the blindfold :)
Hi..it was nice project...can I get the design information
Hi there! We are going to reach out to the designers to see if we can get this for you. Please can you send an email to hello@weareprintlab.com and we will contact you when we hear back from them :)
beautiful work! thank you for sharing the iterative steps and detailing the design considerations. Excellent work by the original young designers of the Perfect Pencil Placer! I'd love to try out the model with our assistive device users at our little makerspace in Singapore, are the models shared?
Thank you very much for the kind words! Yes the designers of the Perfect Pencil Placer were really amazing. We're not sure how they achieved so much in just a couple of days! And yes the models will be shared soon. We are just doing some final checks and creating the open-source documentation for it. We'll comment back here once it is available :)
Brilliant! Thanks for showing the usual process including design flaws, successes and enhancements! A design is never done - that's how I usually feel when I develop something. And sometimes I get on other people's nerves. 😄
Thanks so much Adriano!

Where's the best place to get Mycelium from for use in schools?
We highly recommend Grown.bio's GIY kits! We had no trouble with it shipping to the UK if that's where you're based :)
Your content is like a warm cup of creativity on a cold day.
Thank you so much!
cool project thanks for posting!
Great job, do you have the print files available? I would like to make some for my dad.
Hi there! The print files are available here :) www.thingiverse.com/thing:5335693
Great job men! I work with the visually impaired and am looking for a design like this. Do you sell your product?
They are amazing aren't they! Would you mind sending an email to hello@weareprintlab.com? We will see if we can help out with your request :)
