As a 3D artist getting a 3D printer was my number 1 priority. I was blown away by the idea that I could create something digitally, then hold it in my hands a couple hours later.
You ever try working with Sculpey!? hah. I'm only kidding. I've had the dream of making something digitally and somehow magically bringing it into the physical world since I was a small child, playing the first 3D computer games in my dad's lap, long before 3D printers were a thing. It took me too long to finally get a 3D printer.
So many great prints! The rusted light switch, the useful micro lathe, and even a skittles-infused pin screen... thanks for featuring so many designers (and also me)!
The rolling storage box is an old market failure, the Roly kit came out in 1997. I do love the idea of a small one for tiny electronics, my mother bought one in the 90's and kept sewing supplies in it till my dad dropped it on a parquet floor. It died in the most spectacular fashion.
There was one back in 79,80. My step-dad had one. We did property management. It was great for the little things like nails and o-rings. It rolled right out to the end. But the end one was lid for the 2nd row. It lasted a long time. In fact I don't even know what happened to it. These designs brought back repairing stuff for someone
I have a huge one that I keep my spools in (thread, not filament). I assume it's a knock-off version as I've never spotted a brand name on it and it works kinda...not...good...but well enough for the occasional sewing project. It has a sliding lock on the handle that keeps it very securely shut. Correction: the sliding lock is separate, not on the handle.
I got one. They suck, I store all the little parts I am least likely to ever use in it. You have to carefully unroll and roll it up or parts spill out or get caught in the hinges. Also, since it's not clear, it's easy to forget what is even in it. Those clear plastic comparmentized boxes or those things with all the little drawers are much better.
I recently started printing Benchys en masse. I don't know why, I have such an urge to paint a collection of them. I have printed so many things with my two printers so this is great to see for all the noobs coming fresh off of the holidays. That Grock joke actually had me exhale too hard, thank you
The Rock trend is a ton of fun. I printed a Rock Eevee recently, and it was glorious! My girlfriend was only told that I was printing an Eevee that really "rocks", and her reaction to the final product was amazing.
My younger brother and I love to watch wrasslin' together. So I told him I found a rock under a dock that he might like, but it wasn't a rock, it was...a rock lobster!!! I even had the song playing when he came over to get it. It was magnificent.
Recently found your channel and I just gotta say I absolutely love your script writing. Your comedy is great and understated and the little alliteration jokes always get me. I'm a fellow Dever-ette as well, if I ever see ya at Microcenter I'll say hi :)
10:21 yea but your humor is top notch above anyone elses making videos about 3d printers. i dont even own a 3d printer and i have watched A LOT of your videos in the last month. your one of my favorite channels.
Hint on the tall narrow prints - very wide brim. I'm talkin' 30+ wide, but basically make it so the base is at least 1/3 to 1/2 or even more as wide as the model, so it has a much higher resistance to failure late in the print. Also make sure the squish on the first layer is decent so it adheres really well and the bed temp is on the higher end of the spread.
I've made it through some tall spires such as a trophy where a brim would have not helped as the base was already printed below. I added some painted on supports and the tree supports braced the spires so they didn't flop back and forth too much
That rolly thing you used to be able to buy. It was an "as seen on tv" thing called the rolly kit. I have one. Its pretty cool, but is kinda a pain to use, since you need to carefully unroll the entire thing if ya need a part in the last container. Also better remember every single item you stored in it, or you end up wasting a bunch of time looking for it.
I have a SLA printer with a tiny print area (as SLA often has), and I'm glad to see most of these are fine for tiny areas like mine! Definitely going to print many rocks
My favorite key hanger isn't printed at all, but is just a standard ethernet biscuit jack mounted to the wall. I made a few loopbacks that double as keychains and they plug right in (and the loopbacks are functional and handy to have in my profession)
@@Hawk7886 I have an old hub on the wall at work for that purpose. Plus the hub can be handy in a pinch for easy port replication for wireshark and whatnot.
PSA for newbies! Almost none of these are viable on resin printers. Printing mechanisms on resin is completely different due to the difference in material properties. Print-in-place *can* work with heavy custom supports, but if it's gotta be springy, durable, or have tight tolerances, use an FDM printer.
I do not own a 3D printer, nor am I in the market to get one, but the algorithm recommended this channel, and the comedy, editing, and content are so good that I had to stay. Even the Patreon names are a delight.
Thank you! I put a lot of work into making my videos fun to watch, even to folks who'd never use the material. That's how we get out of our comfort zones, right?
I've wondered about using magnets as clamps on those tallish prints that are prone to getting knocked loose (pause the print after it gets tall enough for the nozzle to clear the magnet clamps). If using a spring steel PEI coated sheet, there should be something to clamp to, but I'm not sure how a magnet on top will interact with the magnet on the table sheet.
I sure as heck would print those light switches if they were the same style here over the pond. But some of them certainly will go on my list of stuff to print at some point in the future.
The Pin toy at 9:35 was something that I always wanted to have, now I can make my own. Though I have to fix my elephants foot problem first or raft all of them.
I think this has been my favorite youtube video, Ever... so far. The mention of the science store and never getting to experience a discovery zone had me laughing far to hard.
Hi Zack, i really appreciate your wide range videos and learn a lot from them, so go ahead with the good work! I saw in the beginning of the video that you have an Anycubic printer. I bought a Anycubic Kobra Go and been experimenting and watching lots of videos to finally get the print quality i am looking for. Can i ask which slicer you use and if you used the pre defined configurations which come with the printer for the slicing software or if you have tweaked the configuration. I struggle espacially with tolerance issues and the fact that even if the print starts well at some point the first layer somehow melts together and therefore functional parts don't work anymore and this is really frustrating because i tried a lot and wasted already a lot filament. Hope you can give me some advise.
I know this video is old but seeing that Enlightened symbol on the key buckle wall organizer thing really brings me back... glad to see we were on the same side 😉
Been printing a year or maybe 2 now and I still watched. I was lost at what to do when I first started. I spent about 6 months printing whatever I found on the stl sites that I found useful or cool. Since I have found 3d printing to be useful for making things you either can't find or you don't like the current design. I have made and printed a lot of things and it never gets old seeing something you designed come to life and work.
You are literally the only creator I’ve subscribed to whose every video I’ve watched that I will go the one extra step and like the video. You sir are epic! Keep it up!
There's absolutely nerf blasters that don't require part kits! Printing a Carny Rex flintlock pistol while watching this, and all it needs is a couple flathead screws and some rubber bands :D
I gotta admit. I was not expecting this level of entertainment from this kind of video. Dude, you are very clever, funny, and a showman. Subbed. Your “spaghetti” and The Rock bits… Gold 🤌
I got a 3d printer for Xmas. I'm gonna print some clips to hold a loose car part on my vehicle until I can afford to buy a proper replacement. seems smart to me. Also, it's not fully loose just wobbly. I don't condone reckless endangerment without reason.
'not mass producible' uh.. looks over at my mass produced one from the 90s that my great grandfather had. So it kind of sucks for most things because you need so many feet to fully open it. I just use it for electrical repair bits I rarely need and it sits in the corner.
As a 3D artist getting a 3D printer was my number 1 priority. I was blown away by the idea that I could create something digitally, then hold it in my hands a couple hours later.
As someone who wants to get into 3d modeling and a total noob, any advice? Its a bit hard to know what to start on
@@JeremyKnab will do thanks for the advice! :)
You ever try working with Sculpey!? hah.

yep that's the goal
A couple hours later? They must be small! 😂

Not just you … you twice! Love your work and great seeing your designs here today.
Awesome when I see two of my favorite channels together.

I picked up two Rolykits second hand recently and I've been using them to store my small electronics parts. They're really good for that ^^
@@StrangeLake My dad had 2 that he used for oddball screws and bolts and such

the rocktupus
There’s even more on thingiverse I have a whole collection of them and there’s like hundreds 🌚
wow haven't seen the Enlightened logo in years, cool keychain.
I was thinking the same thing
I came to the comments for this lol are people still playing? Have we unlocked everyone's minds yet?
Holy Jarvis!
I’ve had my printer for two years now and found more things to print here! Hell yeah!

Not naming the gun Dwayne the Glock Johnson was a great opportunity missed.
me who actually 3d printed guns

I'm so glad someone resurrected rolykit storage. I need it for my D&D minis.

0:18 who wants to know, cause as far as the ATF knows everything firearm related was lost in a boating accident
It fell off a truck that fell off a larger truck-trucking truck.
Had my printer for a couple years now, never seen these, thanks for the print ideas Zack!
7:32 is such a random reference for a 3D printing video and I’m here for it.
Everyone: "We must stop polluting the earth with plastic!"
Also everyone: "Haha useless 3d printed plastic widgets go brrrrrrrr."
PLA is made out of plants and is bio degradable in industrial recycling
I have a SLA printer with a tiny print area (as SLA often has), and I'm glad to see most of these are fine for tiny areas like mine! Definitely going to print many rocks
Resinhuffer
So glad you featured 3dprinty!! He has absolutely great content and not enough recognition!!
Love how honest you are about showing shots of working prints from the creator!
My favorite key hanger isn't printed at all, but is just a standard ethernet biscuit jack mounted to the wall. I made a few loopbacks that double as keychains and they plug right in (and the loopbacks are functional and handy to have in my profession)
I love this idea. A dead network switch would be an easy way to keep a bunch of them together.
@@Hawk7886 I have an old hub on the wall at work for that purpose. Plus the hub can be handy in a pinch for easy port replication for wireshark and whatnot.
I wonder if you could've printed the nunchucks with a much wider brim or raft or with better adhesives on the bed.

"Sucks to be you because you'll never experience a Discovery Zone". Aaaannnd you've earned my subscription.
Love the video Zack! Been there with fails too!
OMG the America School system! You have the best puns and jokes in your videos sir! Love those prints!

The GRock 17 punchline.... So good
Is there a list of the filaments you used? I love all the colors.
Zack, you know you now *have* to make a Gridfinity adapter so you can drop Gridfinity bins into that octagonal roll-up box.
Love the videos keep the good work up

3D Printy is massively underrated. Glad you had a shout out to his channel
I have so many the rock models and my entire family will have so may more EVERYWHERE.
7:53 My girlfriend asked me to print Pickle Rock for her but at 300% the size . Idk why she'd want that .
"I'm goin' D-Z! Discovery Zone! Discover what I can do on my own... D-Z! Where kids wanna be!!" Haha good times

The last one was so so good
Put the rocks into a decent box, and write pet rock on it
Those print failures at 6:28 needs TSD (The spaghetti detective) to catch that spaghetti 😄
Rolling storage box from all the used filament rolls
A 3D printer will be the first thing I get when I move to a different apartment.
It gives you literally infinite possibilities.
Hearing you say “good succ” in that tone of voice 😂😂😂
Shout out from Colorado. The featured beer was made like 5 mins from my house.
12:26 it's so cool that Turbo made a cameo in this video!
The rock stuff had me dying 😂
Thanks for these recommendations!
Zack this Zack as well and the nunchucks part had me laughing so hard. I’m now subscribed.
I bought the rolling storage box from a store (not printed) and it is amazing
I gotta admit. I was not expecting this level of entertainment from this kind of video. Dude, you are very clever, funny, and a showman. Subbed.
Your “spaghetti” and The Rock bits… Gold 🤌
I'm in my 20s and remember the science store at my mall, shit was cool
The "Somebody toucha my spaghet!" meme is not well enough known for my liking.
I got a 3d printer for Xmas. I'm gonna print some clips to hold a loose car part on my vehicle until I can afford to buy a proper replacement. seems smart to me. Also, it's not fully loose just wobbly. I don't condone reckless endangerment without reason.
You can buy those holders anywhere you have a hardware store.
Damn Danny de Vito spot on
bro the rock joke just got more funny and more funny somehow
Great vid - thanx!
Your content is always a great reset for me. Thank you 🙏
I’ve been to the discovery museum in Santa Ana California as I live in Orange County
11:40 They were mass produced and called "Rolykit"
Someone should make a hexagonal version of the rolling storage box so they are tile-able
WOOT ENLIGHTENED REPRESENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You sir now have my Subscription!!!
That reading of the names at end made this a so much better find!! Love it! you got a follower.
I don’t have a 3D printer but I’m tempted to buy one just for the box o rocks
You are endlessly amusing.... I often find myself laughing out loud while watching your videos. Thanks for the time that you put into these videos....
This guy is the Ben Levin of 3D printing
you inspired me to get a 3D printer and I am forever grateful!
At your age I'm shocked you don't remember the constant commercials and infomercials for those roll-up storage things.
'not mass producible' uh.. looks over at my mass produced one from the 90s that my great grandfather had.
So it kind of sucks for most things because you need so many feet to fully open it. I just use it for electrical repair bits I rarely need and it sits in the corner.
Umm...
Can we print another printer ?
- YES ! YES ! YES !
Thanks!
You're freaking AWESOME dude. Glad I came across your page.
i did not expect a guilty gear reference but i must applaude
Whoever wins that box, they're getting some rock-solid prints.
I love this. Happy 2022 zack!!!
These are nice the fgc9 is the ultimate 3d printer achievement.
got to say, you really nailed the take on the snap fit scale mail section.
that light switch is great especially with the filament choice
your delight to watch as a nerd just from first video
That rolling storage box has Ron Popeil written all over it, lol. 🤣🤣
It’s basically a standup show masquerading as a 3D printing video.
Loves how theres a section just named: Existential Dread
I'm too late for that box of rocks, but I'm still gonna print some of these things.
There was a Discovery Zone in Anchorage Alaska. Fun times there.
“ I keep refusing to print firearms bc Americas school system has plenty to share “ a little too funny, laughed a little too hard @ this
Yo that guilty gear reference be balling
8:38 *WHEEZE* absolutely gold 🤣
Can I just say this is the cleverest call to action I’ve seen this year 😆
That tiny PC is so cool 😎
