ive always preferred white tools, decor, and accessories as i feel like they make a room brighter and i can easily add warmth by throwing in red, oranges, and yellows in other areas of the room. i thought i was a bit crazy for wanting to paint them until i came across your videos. now i know it can be done (though i plan to hide as many black accents as i can as it ruins the whole "brighter" vibe im going for") so thanks for that!
I actually really like your explanation for the color scheme. I was thkinking "yes okay, everything white, kinda boring", but now that I know it's for "decoration" purposes, and that I see your background, it's actually nice.
Also white isn't THAT unoriginal, it's kinda rare to find some things in white, specially tools. I love black in almost everything but I have to admit it sometimes looks boring because it's the default color for a lot of things lol
@@silv448 I loved black too, but combination of white and black is top notch. Combination of white for unimbortant things and black for important, functional things. I am now making hifi speakers where the boxes will be white and only cables and speaker diaphragm will be black. In my opinion, it's a compromise between open white and beautiful but all-consuming black. Come to think of it, it would be amazing to see an entire house designed like that, and many things are made in that color combination as well.
The reason your paint strips is because you're using 1K spray-paints, they don't stand up to wear and tear very well. What you should do is finish with clearcoat 2K paint. Its extremely durable but you need to spray with respirator protection. 1k and 2k paints are compatible, you can still prime and coat with your usual paints.
unbelieveable man. you have such a knack for finding a different angle for things! i aspire to be like you one day - i can't even imagine how much trial and error this all took!
Protip: To help reduce wear, chipping and flaking on your finished stuff, use a moly-resin gun paint like Cerakote or Dutacoat. For stuff that you can't cure with heat, use Duracoat and let it air cure; for stuff that can withstand oven temperatures (metal parts, high-temperature plastics, etc), use Cerakote (it's much more hardy). Both of these finishes, when applied properly, won't want to chip, crack or flake like normal spray finished do, though they will eventually yield very smooth wear patterns in spots that wear (though it takes a long while to wear through either finish with just friction wearing).
@@feiyinwang6169 once the parts are fully dried/cured, then it should be fine - but because of the polymer additives in the paint, you absolutely SHOULD NOT spray parts around anybody who's pregnant - so spray your parts outdoors away from wherever pregnant people are at, etc. But once the parts are fully dried and cured (could take anywhere from a week to several weeks, depending on humidity, average temperature, air pressure, etc), the parts aren't any worse for a pregnant person to handle than any other kind of painted part.
@@bigmike- Is there any other safe and cheap way that I can make things white? Better 100% safe to be kept in the same house where the pregnant woman lives.
@@feiyinwang6169 not really; all paint has solvents in it that aren't awesome for pregnant women to be around (though, again, when dry and cured, it shouldn't be an issue as the solvents evaporate out). You might just have to wait until they stop being pregnant - but that's okay, good things come to those who wait ;) On a side note, good on you for asking the right questions and making sure to do right by the people around you - you're gonna do great as a dad! :)
I relate to this video so much I always end up buying things from the same companies just so they look good together, this is such a good way of adding a personal touch but also cleaning up the whole workflow to make them more cohesive with everything else
Love the video! Tips when painting with aerosol's, try to cover the entire item in each layer completely first before moving to the next coat. I noticed you sprayed the measuring tape with the clear coat before moving to the back side with primer. Most likely there are clear coat particles floating around and reaching the surface before you sprayed the primer on the back and this will keep the primer from sticking and cause paint peeling. Also, any primer added once flipped over will be on top of the clear coat on the edged of the tape measure and flake off like onion layers, eventually peeling the entire piece. Reccommended 1.) coat entire item with primer, front and back (multiple coats) 2.) Spray with paint color, front and back (multiple coats) 3.) Use a small brush or q-tip to get into small cracks or places that the spray wont get to 4.) Spray entire item with clear coat once front and back are completely covered with white paint. If you follow these steps, you wont get the onion like layers that eventually peel and each layer will lock itself in with the top clear coat locking everything down. -Cheers!
There’s also the fact that it builds your own branding, now every time I see a thumbnail with all white everything 9/10 its one of your videos. It allows you to get pretty thumbnails that don’t just look like everyone else’s “toss everything neatly on a table and take a photo” thumbnail that is insanely common.
These all look brilliant. like, it *screams* moon mission to me, and i love it. its so clean, but after it begins to break down and it has those cracks in the paint? absolutely divine levels of story telling.
Being the guy who made me get a 3d printer. And my god, I've learned so much, customized so much, and now getting into modeling using Shap3r because some things I want I can't find online. Now everything in my office / gaming area is black and white because the colors just flow so comfortably for myself. Started at all white, but I had to introduce a contrast. Awesome video man, keep up the awesome work!
Hey Scott! I have a tip for you when using paint. You can use a can of 2K Automotive Clear coat. It's stronger, doesn't peel as quick as regular clear coat, and it doesn't orange peel as much. The only downside to using it is when you activate the can's mixture, you have 24 - 48 hours to use it before it fully hardens. Thank you for making your content! I've already watched every previous video you released!
Finally! I've been waiting for this for almost 200 days - ever since I saw the upgrades for the white Ender 3. I fully support the described philosophy. Tools and things should work for the benefit of the owner, rather than promoting a brand or distracting attention.
Great video as always. But just a note, I think you should actually mask V-slots where wheels are moving when painting a 3D printer. It's like you would paint a linear rail or rod - not a good idea for motion systems.
You cannot paint precision surface (linear guides for rollers). It is literally impossible, paint will ruin tolerances and less durable than metal. Best way to do it on your Ender is to order custom white-anodized extrusions. Anodized surface is relatively precise and durable.
The human eye is very good at noticing shades of white. That's why everything I own is black. Seeing different off shades of white next to each other would drive me insane.
In my experience having everything white makes it really class and clean, as you mentioned you don't see the dust as much but just the stains, also it contrasts nicely with a black or darker wood desk, or furnitures
in terms of paint, I would do enamel paints. They are VERY durable and if you do it right they will not streak and should come out pretty uniform. Downside to it, as far as I know there are only gloss enamels and no mattes but that's okay sorta because scratches on matte or satin are very noticeable. But maybe I'm wrong/unaware of some other product. I like to color my tools with exception to their working area (i.e. tips of screw bits) or places that require a certain fit (i.e. the mounting square on a socket wrench). Cheers
I am using Revell enamel paint to paint my mouse. It's not finished yet, i am 3D printing and changing things a little and got sidetracked. But i am satisfied that the paint adhesion is AMAZING, much better than i could achieve with any kind of acrylic paint. There are satin mattes. I don't know if it works well yet.
I am more of a black and grey guy, but watching the whites on your channel, I am considering white stuff more. I would love to see how you customized the other stuff (camera, mic,etc...)
I'm a 3d printing enthusiast, but your cinematography would make me watch anything you upload. As a Prusa fanboy, I'd love to see a series on an all white Mk4!
I clicked on this video expecting a pretentious explanation, but you communicated your reasoning really clearly and I like your approach & philosophy for owning things.
I am honestly surprised you are making a video on this. I was expecting it to just be a joke that circulates your channel in mystery. However I am super satisfied with your answer, thank you for explaining
I sell paint for a living and I have to say that I’ve seen a lot of people do it incorrectly. For the products you are using I would say you do a great job. Only thing that makes yours a tiny bit less durable is the fact that it’s Matte finish instead of something like a satin or semi gloss. Just a helpful hint: if you are painting something. And the surface is “clean, dull and dry” you should have great adhesion 90% of the time. Keep up the great videos Scott!
@@stevensilitonga most likely if you are using a spray paint that is for plastic or metal or what ever you are painting then it will be completely the same in terms of adhesion.
Just showed a friend your video and asked what values your way of doing things signals and communicates. He said that you are not practical and crazy for doing so much custom. I said that you are genious and show a desire for quality and perfection. It's interesting how much values of people can deviate.
You're an inspiration as always, Scott. You were the first person to show me 3d printing to make printer parts and opened my mind to modding/customizing tools and appliances. I continue to be greatful for your passion and creative attitude in the maker space :)
Every single reason you gave is every single reason why I wanted to have an all white PC. And I totally agree that white is a very versatile color when it comes to customizing your tools and objects on the house, because it’s a very flexible color. Thank you for making this video and I can’t wait to start customizing my own tools in white. Cheers to the next ender 3 video!
Hi, I found your video very interesting and appreciate you showing the techniques used to paint/cover your tools. I also use white as much as possible (never been a fan to be honest but now I am), primarily for productivity reasons. I work in engineering, and I found research that indicates that good lighting reduces errors and increases productivity. White paint, being a good reflector of light, is very present on my workbench. It would be great if you could make another video where you go into more detail about your powder coating process and other similar techniques.
By the way, I found a paper about this same topic: www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/@americas/@ro-lima/@sro-port_of_spain/documents/presentation/wcms_250198.pdf
use scotch brite scrub pad, dry. then blow out with compressed air, wear gloves, degrease the equipment beforehand with soap and water. you'll see the paint stuck better. don't wait too long with the layers of varnish to allow them to bond together. Do not apply too wet, the solvents must not penetrate the plastic. Use synthetic resins as paint. they remain flexible after drying. this is a google translation, hope it is understandable
Id suggest using 2k clearcoat which is a bit more expensive but its basically automotive grade clear in a can, you only get 24-48 hours to work with it as it has a hardener inside, but it will last you for longer
hey, I've just discovered your channel, and I really enjoy it! as far as tips for painting though, you probably just need to sand a bit more, and use more, but thinner coats of paint. you should also bathe the cans in hot tap water (don't get any on the work piece) and shake them constantly! there is no such thing as enough shaking of a spray can.
That 3D printing shot at 3:37 is next level, wow. I'm trying to level up my own 3d printing shots and this is such a great inspiration. Does your extruder come back to one position at every layer and there's one picture per layer?
Not sure if it's what Scott uses, but OctoPrint is typically how I've seen this accomplished when other people achieve the same "growing" look with their prints
you can set a custom firmware (like octoprint or klipper) they come bundled with webcam plugins that trigger shots at the right time (once every layer) set that trigger to your proper camera, use a slider/gimbal, and you're golden.
For a moment I was dismissive about why someone would care so much about color to make everything white and then I remembered that I deliberately have everything I use in black, workspace and tools.
your videos have been coming up a lot in my algorithm, but this is the first one i've ever watched. mostly because i thought the all-white look was just you being pretentious, based on your thumbnails. i've now learned it's so much deep than that; that your values around simplicity and shitty corporate art design align pretty closely with mine. great content, thanks!
Did you do some kind of videography/photography before you started this channel? You're editing and composition is actually phenomenal. Always able keep me engaged throughout the entire thing, just the right amount of info on one thing before moving on.
Just came across your channel. It is cool and refreshing to see things with production value put into them. Lots of channels just have someone sitting behind a desk waffling for 10 minutes these days, so I was happy to find videos with an emphasis on quality control. Subbed.
The customization parts I feel very deeply, coming from a car community and as a Linux user that spends (probably too much) time customizing my OS to my likings. It's a way to express myself, and to feel right at home whenever I use that tool. For example; I love driving my car, going for joyrides or just cruising around. Most of the time, I sit inside it, so I've customized the interior so I'd like it and feel nice whenever I sit inside. Little details like stuff hanging from the mirror, stickers, accent painting different plastics or even the scent. Same goes for outside - It's my daily car, so no stanced out bollocks, nice ride height so I don't bottom out on speed bumps but also don't look like a monster truck, few stickers here and there to let similarly minded people know that I like this hobby, but nothing extra bold. Same goes for my PCs - I use Linux mostly with Plasma desktop environment, that I have customised to my likings. Clean design, just having the information and/or tools I need at sight, plethora of custom shortcuts to accomodate for my work, custom aliased commands, status messages, etc. I love organising digital media, so whatever is possible to color code, it is (whilst cohering to one color pallette of course, in my case it's Catppuccin Macchiato), and using multitude of software to organise stuff like video, photos, variety of projects (code, cad, art, whatever else I feel like doing at the time) and music. That being said, loved this video, the editing was super dope and presentation was on point :)
I can't believe I enjoyed the ad part of you video just as much as the actual content. I feel like the companies you choose as sponsors always make sense for your channel so it doesn't feel abrasive or repellant. Is that good? Haha. Love your content. Can't wait for the next one.
i'd suggest using a UV pen for the birth dates, I like the look of the image transferring technique with the black text on white but for the others they look a little silly.
ive always preferred white tools, decor, and accessories as i feel like they make a room brighter and i can easily add warmth by throwing in red, oranges, and yellows in other areas of the room. i thought i was a bit crazy for wanting to paint them until i came across your videos. now i know it can be done (though i plan to hide as many black accents as i can as it ruins the whole "brighter" vibe im going for") so thanks for that!

Linear rails will prevent paint wear on your Ender 3. Love your work.
But they take some of the usable print area, right?
@@luiscamara1 nope? where did you get that info ?
this... might be good enough reason alone to do it... thanks!
But can you paint them white? = )
@@enosunimo but their are silver, which is the closest you can get to white without being white.
I don't know what's more impressive...the attention to detail in your physical space or the insane video shooting/editing skills. Awesome video man!
that means a lot coming from you, man. im a fan of your work. thank you!
Why is your refrigerator not white?
The reason your paint strips is because you're using 1K spray-paints, they don't stand up to wear and tear very well.

the cinematography and editing are on such high level... I'm impressed!
It all seems very cool, I understand the reasons, but what about warranty?
The nature of his channel makes me think that he's probably more inclined to repair his tools himself.
Painting the outside of things doesn't generally void warranty. The date stickers might even help with that
I get lost in your immaculate visuals. You deserve all the success and attention you get 😊
What a banger video!! I completely zoned into the music and the filming; now I have to watch it again and will do so with a smile!
THANK YOU for adding captions!!! Seriously you make AMAZING content. The editing and storytelling is unparalleled.
Every time you release a video, I am blown away. There's no words. On editing alone, they need to come up with some sort of award for you to win.
Protip: To help reduce wear, chipping and flaking on your finished stuff, use a moly-resin gun paint like Cerakote or Dutacoat.

Love the video! Tips when painting with aerosol's, try to cover the entire item in each layer completely first before moving to the next coat. I noticed you sprayed the measuring tape with the clear coat before moving to the back side with primer. Most likely there are clear coat particles floating around and reaching the surface before you sprayed the primer on the back and this will keep the primer from sticking and cause paint peeling. Also, any primer added once flipped over will be on top of the clear coat on the edged of the tape measure and flake off like onion layers, eventually peeling the entire piece.
Reccommended
1.) coat entire item with primer, front and back (multiple coats)
2.) Spray with paint color, front and back (multiple coats)
3.) Use a small brush or q-tip to get into small cracks or places that the spray wont get to
4.) Spray entire item with clear coat once front and back are completely covered with white paint.
If you follow these steps, you wont get the onion like layers that eventually peel and each layer will lock itself in with the top clear coat locking everything down.

Crushing it dude. Man all the stuff you're putting out is just sick!
Another great video, thanks for shouting me out! Glad I could help provide some shots!
Now on to painting all my tools 😂
haha thanks for sharing the shots! loved how it turned out
That 3D printing shot at 3:37 is next level, wow. I'm trying to level up my own 3d printing shots and this is such a great inspiration. Does your extruder come back to one position at every layer and there's one picture per layer?
Not sure if it's what Scott uses, but OctoPrint is typically how I've seen this accomplished when other people achieve the same "growing" look with their prints
Yes coupled with a motorized camera mount that pans the shot automatically over time.
you can set a custom firmware (like octoprint or klipper) they come bundled with webcam plugins that trigger shots at the right time (once every layer) set that trigger to your proper camera, use a slider/gimbal, and you're golden.
Yo man, I’m taking my hat off to u for incredible effects and overall filming quality. That’s insane, the “colored tools” effect blew me off)
For a moment I was dismissive about why someone would care so much about color to make everything white and then I remembered that I deliberately have everything I use in black, workspace and tools.
awesome. as a former art student and lover of entertainment design I feel like your bringing concept art to life
I love that you're actually getting sent white versions of products from vendors now!
meeee too 🥹 a dream come true
your videos have been coming up a lot in my algorithm, but this is the first one i've ever watched. mostly because i thought the all-white look was just you being pretentious, based on your thumbnails. i've now learned it's so much deep than that; that your values around simplicity and shitty corporate art design align pretty closely with mine. great content, thanks!
Did you do some kind of videography/photography before you started this channel?
You're editing and composition is actually phenomenal. Always able keep me engaged throughout the entire thing, just the right amount of info on one thing before moving on.
Scott mentioned during a podcast that he edited music videos for his friends before starting his own channel.
I love your focus on hyper functionality. You have made your own methods to be improve efficency. Really inspiring to Me :)
the cinematography is so beautiful!
it's like customizing your home screen, or decorating your room, it's about personality, aesthetic, convenience and feeling organize
Just came across your channel. It is cool and refreshing to see things with production value put into them. Lots of channels just have someone sitting behind a desk waffling for 10 minutes these days, so I was happy to find videos with an emphasis on quality control. Subbed.
as a product designer its so nice to see a make/product designer get some appreciation on youtube!
8:09 hahaha! Awesome video man. All of this. I’m going to whitewash my entire place and everything I own. I love it haha! New subscriber ✌🏻
I like how intentional you are with customizing your tools.
The customization parts I feel very deeply, coming from a car community and as a Linux user that spends (probably too much) time customizing my OS to my likings. It's a way to express myself, and to feel right at home whenever I use that tool. For example;
I love driving my car, going for joyrides or just cruising around. Most of the time, I sit inside it, so I've customized the interior so I'd like it and feel nice whenever I sit inside. Little details like stuff hanging from the mirror, stickers, accent painting different plastics or even the scent. Same goes for outside - It's my daily car, so no stanced out bollocks, nice ride height so I don't bottom out on speed bumps but also don't look like a monster truck, few stickers here and there to let similarly minded people know that I like this hobby, but nothing extra bold.
Same goes for my PCs - I use Linux mostly with Plasma desktop environment, that I have customised to my likings. Clean design, just having the information and/or tools I need at sight, plethora of custom shortcuts to accomodate for my work, custom aliased commands, status messages, etc. I love organising digital media, so whatever is possible to color code, it is (whilst cohering to one color pallette of course, in my case it's Catppuccin Macchiato), and using multitude of software to organise stuff like video, photos, variety of projects (code, cad, art, whatever else I feel like doing at the time) and music.
That being said, loved this video, the editing was super dope and presentation was on point :)
Wtf, so well produced, i really do love these videos
That last line got an audible laugh out of me. Cheers!
I can't believe I enjoyed the ad part of you video just as much as the actual content. I feel like the companies you choose as sponsors always make sense for your channel so it doesn't feel abrasive or repellant. Is that good? Haha. Love your content. Can't wait for the next one.
This man has an admirable thought process. Great job, I might start painting my stuff too
Your videos are like little movies. I love them. I have to come back and re watch some parts because your editing is so clean.
bro 4:10 blew my mind....you are a genius, and I have officially subscribed.
I’m at work. Saving the video to watch at night at the 65 OLED TV, sure won’t be disappointed
i'd suggest using a UV pen for the birth dates, I like the look of the image transferring technique with the black text on white but for the others they look a little silly.
