- In this video I will make a case for adding a 3D printer in your workshop. I will show you how I use my 3D printer to make tools, parts, templates, and tool holders. I will also show you where to get thousands of free downloadable 3D printer files, and how you can even design your own files. At the end of this video, I share my knowledge of the printer that I've been using and and some other reliable options on the market.

3D printing is the hobby that makes any other hobby better
I agree that home woodworking does benefit from a 3D printer.
I just recently started utilizing mine for jigs too.
Besides, when it’s not convenient to be in the shop, learn the program and printer. Thanks
I agree with about 95% percent of what you said in your video. I started in woodworking and CAD over twenty years ago. Once 3D printers came onto the market it was just a natural progression to go from designing wood furniture to designing 3D printed parts.
I too started with the Ender 3v2 but experienced too many flaws. I graduated to Prusa MK3S+. I also purchased and assembled the kit for the cost savings. I quickly came to appreciate the assembly and strength of 3D printed parts while assembling the MK3S+. Add 3D printing to any hobby = synergy!
Great video. Looking forward to watching more!
I've been a woodworker for ages, and 3d printer as well and I found the overlap of the two hobbies hairball a lot. I use the Prusa mk3 all the time. One thing I made was custom cabinet knobs, like a coffee cup shaped knob for the cabinet where we store the coffee.
Did you make a strong case? My wife said, “This video alone has started led me on the idea of the practicality of a printer.”
If you could bottle that influence, my friend, it would be gold!
I don’t have a proper workshop, but I still occasionally build things in my flat and my 3d printer is one of my most valuable tools.
A few weeks ago I needed to use my Dremel to cut a few circles into a piece of wood and I printed a router accessory to help with that. Took about 4 hours, but also it only cost about 50c in filament and energy which is much better than the 20€ the same accessory would cost if I bought it in a store.
And unlike the official dremel version of this accessory, the printed version also has a part that can be screwed on to allow me to easily sand the edges of my workpiece while maintaining a perfect 90 degree angle.
Just the money and time I saved by not having to buy certain tools has already made this printer more than worth its money.
And here I've been designing and 3D printing tools and stuff for use on my farm. I hadn't even thought of making jigs for my router that I can use to make tools for my farm. Great info. Much appreciated.
Love to see people who make 3d printed parts and make there workshop function more effectively
It is nice to be able to 3d print jigs from home that are custom made that makes your job easier without paying out a lot more money for such
I'm a welder. I took up 3d printing as an interesting hobby, but I know I'm only scratching the surface of what's possible. I've got to learn cad in order to make a lot of the tools I have ideas for, so as a hobby it's forcing me to take up other activities.
I bought my Ender 3 v2 in October for my workshop. I love it! I print a lot of organization stuff and tools for my workshop, but I ended up printing toys for my kids. It's been running 24/7 since I got it. There's also another big advantage to a 3d printer; other than setting it up to print (slicing/designing), it just prints while you are doing other things (like sleep). There aren't many tools that we have in our workshops (maybe a CNC) that works for you without you having to manually guide it.
Funny you mentioned toys. I’ve been printing toys on it too lately 😂
Amazing. The dust collector holder is exactly something I needed. I have that same set of connectors, and just got a 3d printer. Excited to try this.
Great content. Thank you
This is awesome. You’ve convinced me to get into this new hobby. Thanks.
I love mixing 3D printing and woodworking!Great video!
I am glad to see this. I work with wood a lot and just bought a printer, knowing there is potential but not knowing where to look for ideas. A lot of things people share to print are useless
I've made many of the same parts, adapters and jigs for my woodshop, using my Anycubic Mega Pro ($340 or less). Additional things I've done include making a gasket for a vacuum hold-down (out of TPU, designed on Sketchup), some clamping squares, and I've printed miniatures of a couple of my wood projects to test whether it's a good "mockup" strategy for looking at proportions and shapes. That uses a sketchup model, translated to an .STL file with an extension. It's very helpful to visualize designs by holding the model in your hands or showing it to "clients" (usually my wife). And depending on the size you print, they also make good doll-house furniture!
My 3D printer has become my favorite tool. I really helps me expand my options in the shop
LOL, my wife has been my most repeat customer as well.
Excellent video! You gave me a bunch of ideas for things to print. Thanks!
Love the video. Work full-time in modeling architectural drawings and moonlighting as a hobbyist woodworker and sheet metal fabrication. Added a new 3d printer and a CNC plasma table to the family. This video gave me some great ideas.
So many great ideas in this video. Ive saved it for later. I'm actually struggling to find a good vacuum port adapter so I think I'll definitely be using the "3D print your own adapter" idea from this video!
Omg you're so smart. I love your videos. I have always wanted to learn 3d printing! Thank you!
I got into 3D printing as an FPV drone pilot. But the possibilities are endless!
I got into 3d printing for my woodworking, which led to fpv. 3 yrs later, and now I'm designing freestyle frames. I have too many hobbies lol
Just ordered mine, and looking forward to putting it to good use in the shop!
Thanks for all the great videos on the 3D printing for the shop! I am going to invest in one soon!
Good job with all that you share. Thank you ❤
Clever nesting radius jigs!
Great video. The nice thing about the Ender 3 is the huge community of users that can help answer any question. I just checked your profile. I knew you had to be a fellow Long Islander.
Born and raised. I always try to sneak in a shot of the NY Islanders logo. Lol
Top video! I've had my Ender3 Pro for three years, and it was bought as a tool, not a toy. (I have made ornamental and novelty items but mainly for things like mounts for lights, power distrubution boards, tools, etc, just as you're doing.)
Never thought about using a 3D printer in the shop! Thanks
I love using my Prusa I3 Mk3S in the shop. Mostly I use it for storage and organizing aids, like pegboard mounts for chisels, pliers, emery board sanding sticks; drawer inserts like slotted rails to hold reciprocating saw blades on edge; and wall mounts for 40V outdoor power equipment batteries. I did draft up a replacement throat plate for my little 18V chop saw in Fusion 360 that worked well. Since most of my prints are practical and utilitarian, I prefer to mainly use PETG rather than PLA plastic to avoid brittleness, temperature sensitivity, and creep under load over time.
For beginners intimidating by the initial learning curve of Fusion 360, Tinkercad is free and based on combining basic 3d shapes, rather than drawing and extruding. But with A few RUclips tutorials, I just went straight to F360 and never looked back. I'm just starting to try flexible TPU filament for custom grommets, gaskets, and rubber feet.
I loved your idea of printing templates (like for your truck toolbox handholds) and then using a router with a pattern bit. It's almost like having the benefits of a CNC machine without the cost and space.
Thank you for sharing. I’m looking to buy a quality machine very soon that can print more materials including carbon fiber
You provided us with valuable and useful information on woodworking devices and tools. Thank you for that.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! I make fly tying cabinet and I use my 3D printer to make small containers for parts and small drawers.
Wow!!! what a great video and great ideas. I’ve spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on jigs but that stops this Thursday I’m getting my Ender. Thanks
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos they are very much appreciated. I'm 75 plus years old male and love making things.
My neighbours little girl (3 years old at the time ) had to have a prosthetic hand made and the cost plus time scale was unbelievable extortionately high
Using Fusion 360 and with a little help from her. We made her a custom one that she could ride a bike with.
Now, 3 years later she can hold a pencil and draw. Hoping to add electric switches to her new one in the coming year.
Now that will be a challenge, I have just a bog standard Creality Enders 3 printer, they are a great piece of kit with a very high learning curve.
Never thought of making jigs for the router.
Please stay safe and thanks again.

Thank you for sharing such an amazing story.
I have watched all your videos. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you!!
Great video. I too use my Ender 3 S1 printer for making similar tools, tool holders and such. I especially like working with the OpenSCAD files (sort by Customizable). Parametric clips and brackets can be sized for almost any tool and work great for tool holders for the wall or in a tool drawer. I also print parts to repair bargain finds from thrift stores. I just picked up a Silk tripod for $4 because it was missing parts. After printing the camera mount (or as many as I want) and a thumb nut, I now have the best tripod I ever owned.
Fanatic video, that project is awesome.
Thank You!
Great Video! I also use my 3d printer with one of the "wood" filaments which contains wood fibers and plastic, so you can custom print very intricate things like trim pieces, and they can be sanded and stained just like wood.
Thanks so much for this great video!!! I've been into 3D modeling for 12 years, and just recently started a career in cabinet manufacturing. As a result, I've started getting into wood working, and discovering how fun it is. I absolutely agree with you about fusion360. I was intimidated by the user interface at first, but after about a month I found it MUCH easier and quicker to create dimensionally accurate parts than sketchup. Also just wanted to add, if you export using the 3mf file extension directly into prusa slicer, it maintains the exact dimensions you used to model in fusion, creating much less work. Prusa slicer is also more forgiving than cura. Works amazing on my Ender 3 and FLsun QQ.
Thanks for the tips. I never thought about using the prusa slicer. Definitely going to try that.
This is a great intro...I have been contemplating a 3D printer. I'd love to hear more about why the upgrades are needed. I plan to buy one of these shortly.
These printers have springs between the build plate and the carriage it’s mounted to.
This is so you can level the bed and ensure that it’s always at the right distance to the nozzle to get a good first layer.
But the springs they usually come with are very weak and so your bed might wobble slightly (which reduces the quality of your prints) and it needs to be releveled more often.
So replacing the springs with those yellow springs (shown at 9:47) or silicone buffers is a good cheap upgrade that will instantly improve your print quality and extend the time between having to relevel the bed.
And another upgrade I personally recommend (even if it takes a bit more effort to install) is to get a Auto bed levelling Sensor like the bltouch or one of the much cheaper copies (usually called 3dtouch).
This will completely eliminate the need to manually level your bed as the printer will automatically level itself before every print and so you‘ll always get a perfect first layer. Also it compensates for an uneven build plate, which is quite helpful as some buildplates will slightly warp over time as they go through constant cycles of being heated up and cooling down again.
Great video
Interesting video, I do all these sort of things too, I did all my adaptors for my dust collection system and T track joiners or cross overs. Thanks
I’m actually planning a video having to do with Dust collection and 3d printers
Thanks for the video. I found it useful. I'm wondering about 3D printing vs laser cutting for woodworking, and I think you've made a good case for getting a 3d printer. Thanks for the links too.
Great video. I use my 3D printer all the time. I’ve even designed clamps and slides for my telescope hobby. I also printed things like workmate stops, and vacuumed adapters. I have a prusa. I assemble it myself and I recommend to assemble your own.
Which one do you have? I am about to buy one. Not sure if I should go with something like the ender s1 or look at the max sized ones. Not sure if I need that extra size or not.
Cool, have been getting more into woodworking again, but have printed many parts for my garage over the last year since I built my Voron printer. Am currently designing a mount that attaches to my circular saw shoe to turn the 50" Harbor Fright straight edge clamp into a sort of Tracksaw. Will post it to Thingiverse when it's done...fits my Porter Cable saw as well as Craftsman plugin saws it seems so far.
Very interesting and informative video. I've got 2 Ender 3 v2 printers and they work very well for what they are (inexpensive). A BL Touch or CL touch is a great upgrade, same with upgrading the motherboard & screen software to Jyers software (more options then Creality software). Thank you for the video. I'll have to view your other videos since this is the first one I've seen and it's a year old! LOL!
I have that same dust hose and a few attachments. I actually was able to copy the locking system close enough in fusion that I can create interlocking ports easily. So for example, I can design a permanent dust port on a disc sander that I just click the end of the hose on to it.
I am watching this while sitting next to my Ender 3 printing a router template for mounting hidden cabinet hinges 🙂
bro we're on the same page. Did a tone of stuff for the shop. Very cool.
I've got a 3D printer and mostly used it to make custom storage holders etc.... never thought about using it for router templates!!! I'v got a 3D printer push stick and sander. I think i'mm do what you did and design some corner templates and also hole templates to get nice smooth holes.
I bought a 3Dp for this very reason. I’d really love to see more content out there about this.
I am definitely going to do more videos on how I use this in the shop.
Awesome idea and thanks for the tip on fusion 360. I used it in the past and didn't realize it was still free to use.
Let’s enjoy it while it lasts.
Best video I’ve ever watched on the subject. Loved the 4 points. Wish you make a video showing your F360 workflow. Thank you!
Thank you! Maybe when I am more advanced with fusion I will do that.
@@ArtisanMade Considering what you made, I'd say you are plenty advanced for 95% of the woodworkers that would stand to gain from the information. There are plenty of F360 tutorials on RUclips. What I'm thinking of is a sort of transition presentation, specifically for the home/hobby woodshop. Thank you!
I wished I seen it earlier. I would printer parts for dust collection system. On my second 3D printer. Went big on second one.
I just received my Prusa MK3S+ kit this week and cannot wait to get it up and running in my shop. I'm scouring the web for good enclosure ideas and more ideas for how to incorporate this new tool's capabilities. Also making the transition to Fusion360. I've used SketchUp since it came out, but there's still a bit of a learning curve in switching over. This is the first video I've seen of yours, so I'm going back to see your previous content. So far, I like what I'm seeing. Thanks for the sharing~!
Thank you! An enclosure is a good idea especially if you plan on keeping it in your shop. If Covid is finally over, you should be able to buy used plexiglass for real cheap soon, and make an enclosure with it.
Take a look at the you tube channel from "Rings Workshop". He just dropped a set of plans for a 3D printer enclosure. I haven't built or used it myself, but his stuff is usually very well designed.
I like what you've done so far and I agree with you about putting your 3D Printer together your self, however there's a massive difference between an ender 3 and a Prusa when it comes to assembly!
And quality I’m sure.
Nice! I started with 3d printing and move to CNC and woodworking and yes it is very useful. I looked for the step gauge file but didn't find it, so I design a similar one on Fusion 360. Thanks for your video!
I wish I could fit a cnc in the shop.
I have a CNC milling/router machine, that I use frequently for making parts. I now have a 3D printer, and now I am using the printer to make all sorts of fixtures, clamps and tool holders for the milling machine…the 3D printer has completely changed the way we do things now
Me too
Nice video 👍i loved your ideas for use eoth the printer. i reacently bought the Ender 3 v2 to start with 3D printing. Mostly for making parts in my workshop. Like vacuum adapters, toolholder etc.
I made two upgrades that i really love.
1. i bought the Auto bed levling. The CR-Touch. That really made the calibration more easy.
2. the magnetic bed plate. Makes removal of the print so much easier.
I bought the CR-touch too haven’t installed it yet. Also bought the filament sensor.
I just watched this video again. I'm about two weeks into 3D printing. I bought a used Prusa Mini+ . While it took me about a week to get new nozzles, get the first layer calibration right, and figure out better settings for the PETG I''m using,, I've since printed a scraper and a Makita battery holder, and I'm now printing a routing template for a Telecaster body that I designed in Fusion 360 (in six parts). Couldn't be happier with the the 3D printer. Thanks again, for this video.
That tele template sounds very interesting
@@ArtisanMade Thanks. I've got all six parts done. They fit, but I think I need to deburr some of the tabs so the fit is perfect. I'll do that today and test the template. If it works out well, I'll share the model through printables.
@@bhartissimo that is awesome! That is the beauty of this technology. Gook luck!
@@ArtisanMade Thanks. And I can't say it enough. Thank you so much for this video. It surely had a part to play in my decision to get a 3D printer in the first place.
Great video. Where can i find the stl for your router guides?
Great video!! I just ordered my first 3d printer, should arrive this week!! So this was a great source of inspiration! Also, just wanted to put it out there, Blender has an addon called CAD sketcher, which is free, much more robust than sketchup, and a great option I want people to know about. It's still in development but ready to use right now, I'm using it for my designs. The team is working hard and improving it all the time too. Just thought you might like to know.
Subbed and liked, I'll be following your channel.
Thank you for sharing that information. I’m definitely going to check it out.
Had no idea Michael Rappaport had a make channel!
Great video. I currently have and use the same printer and I am quite pleased with it. In fact I am now looking at adding another printer but I plan to get a little bit higher end model that can print with some material that the 3v2 can’t.
I’m looking to do the same. Also would be nice to have a larger print surface
@@ArtisanMade For sure…I’m looking at the ones with a 300x300x400 print capability.
@@ArtisanMade Also, I haven’t learned how to really use the 3D modeling software yet so it is kind of hard to create my own parts and tools (which I would really like to do). I am amazed by you guys that have that ability.
@@talign646 I am self taught. I learned from watching RUclips tutorials. All you need is time, which I am on short supply these days. Definitely worth learning though. Opens endless possibilities.
Thanks, looks really useful! Do you have a recommendation as to the filiament material for objects of the kind you have shown?
I mostly use hatchbox. It is a good quality filament that I can easily buy on Amazon
I use my printer to print alignment jigs, to accurately layout holes in things to make repeated holes easily.
That’s a great idea!
My son gave me an EasyThreed X1 for Christmas, and for such a low priced machine (about $100), it produces excellent results and I’ve been able to make a number of things for my workshop - tracksaw stop-blocks, dust port adapters, a chuck holder for my drill press, a router adapter for shelf pin holes from my LR32 guide rail, a pencil scribe block, a big flappy stop button for the band saw, etc etc.
Only disadvantage of the X1 is that its a 100mm x 100mm x 100mm print area so a few large models I have had to cut in 2 and glue together afterwards. But this is an infrequent problem.
Yeggi is great, its a search engine for 3D print STL files and searches Thingiverse and a number of other print repositories.
BTW, Fusion360 is not entirely free for hobbyists. The free licence only lasts 3 years and then (when you’re hooked) you have to buy a subscription. I’d recommend tinkercad as being perfectly adequate for beginners and is entirely free
Thanks for sharing. Fusion for hobbyists is free even after 3 years. You just have to renew the subscription. I renewed mine about 6 months ago.
Would recommend the A1 / A1 mini for anybody watching this, the mini has a smaller print bed size but you don't need to tune or calibrate nothing, the A1 has a more competitive print bed size (bigger than the ender 3) And the price difference it's not that much (if you just get the printer, you can also get the combo package which comes with 4 color printing)
When I made this video, bambu lab didn’t exist yet.
I am hobbyist woodworker and just bought the Ender 3 V2. Loved watching what you are using it for. Do you have any of those router corner rounding STL files to share? TIA.
Also what filament type are you using. I am starting with PLA but hear people recommending PETG. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you! I don’t have those files available but there are others available for free online.
A little tip for those using Cura 5 for your slicer program, they offer an extension in their marketplace that allows you to access Thingiverse directly in Cura. You can download the STL file straight into Cura.
Thanks for sharing this!
thank you for your video. The handler jig, is on your etsy store available ? or was not you who design it ?
You’re welcome! Are you referring to the oval shaped handle jig?
I didn't think I needed a 3d printer for a long time. Got one and now there isn't a project that I do that doesn't have a 3d printed part, jig, or template.
Did you upload the radius jigs anywhere?
I'm selling them on etsy. I added a link in the video description.
You haven't convinced me yet. But I have JUST started looking at these again. I think i need to see more woodworkers using them and integrated them. I think for my vacuum connections this would do WONDERFUL!!! But, is THAT enough to justify the expense? And which one to get? The Ender gets a LOT of bad reviews that they are made cheaply and you will have to replace parts all the time.The Longer LK5 looks pretty good and I'm leaning there for the moment 🙂. $300 seems pricy for essentially shop vac connectors 🙂. You've had this for around 2 years now. Are you STILL using the 3d printer? Do the pieces you make with it hold up over time and use? Thanks, Rick
I use mine all of the time but I often design the parts that I need. They are incredibly durable. I wasn’t sure either when I first bought one but if you know how to design your own parts, you will be able to solve a lot of problems with it.
@@ArtisanMade I ended up taking the plunge and bought a Longer XL5 printer and I have loved it so far. I've been trying to learn Fusion 360 it has been hard for me to figure out some of it's weirdness and I don't have the keyboard shortcuts. So it takes me longer than Sketchup. But I have been able to build things in both platforms and just watching you show some quick little clips has opened my eyes to some of the other tools that are on that bar that I haven't even attempted. It HAS been worth it so far for me.
Do you have the files for the dust collector connection to the sewage pvc pipe, or know where to find them? I haven't found anything on thingiverse.
Im sorry that was so long ago. I don’t know where those files are.
Hi sir, looking at your drawing software what application is that.thanks
Fusion 360
Do you use this in the wood shop of in another room? I would think the dust would be a problem. I have mine in my office instead because I don't want it to get dusty.
I keep mine in the office. The dust would kill it.
Can you provide a link for velcro for sanding block
It was a long time ago. Check thingiverse.com
I amlooking for this sanding block you ahowed but i cant find the model.can you link it?
I found it on thingiverse a few years ago
I've owned Prusa Mk3S for years at home and have one at work too. For kickers I got Ender 3 V2, but I'm not very impressed at all. It can print, but it's just not very nice product. I almost immediately put second Z-motor and BL-touch and removable PEI-sheet into it. Now it's much more usable, but it's still so far from Prusa that has ie. filament runout sensor. For ones who just want to print, get that Prusa. It's so worth it.
No question prusa makes a superior machine, .but it is a bit expensive for a person who has a curiosity about 3d printers and wants to try one out. That being said, I can’t believe how much I use my machine. now I’m ready to upgrade to a prusa or something even better.
@@ArtisanMade Ok, that's very good argument. I've been using 3D printers now for so long that I tend to forget my own past. I also got downright deadly poor chinese 3D printer that didn't have any thermal protections and the model had actually been responsible in burning few houses down. That in mind I highly urge people to stay away from lesser known models, unless they know how to check if firmware safeties are enabled. Luckily these days it's _most_ of the time. But not always. Prusa is something I can leave printing for ie. 20h with good confidence. First one I had, I never left printer alone 🙂
Why not use the opposite of the battery holders for the drills? You printed the drill bottom to hold the batteries. You could use the top of the battery as a template, then your drill would slide right in, no? (Albeit upside down).
could be cool but would be less user friendly because you would have to flip the drill over when you pick it up
I actually designed those a couple months ago. Lol
you should patent these tools, etc.
Bambu Labs X1 Carbon for 3D printing for beginners. Can print almost any plastic and it doesn't get easier than this printer. Best option for a person that doesn't want to tinker with getting the printer to function properly on a regular basis.
I have one and they are great. Beginners usually don’t want to spend that much though.
@@ArtisanMade Truth! Ender 3 is the next best option in my opinion.
Hello, one question, the kit is 756 euros and the finished one where everything is already assembled is 999 euros, right? Thanks very much
The prusa is about that price but in dollars
See if you can buy an Aquila in your area. You can readily find review and build videos.
Just added a CNC router to my vinyl sign shop. Frankly, vinyl pays all the bills but I'm just getting started with the CNC. I love it. I only do commissions. One offs. I don't do Etsy or sell on line. It's all word of mouth and mostly repeat business. Now that I have the CNC, I swear I need a 3D printer to support the CNC. (makes me laugh just thinking about it) For example, making 3D letters that pop, can take paint, and won't melt in the sun. I can make letters on the CNC but buying maple, oak, teak or cypress takes the fun out of doing anything in wood. Is 3D printing say 4-6" letters cheaper than making sawdust out of maple to make a positive?
I think a cnc is better for letters. A cnc is so much faster. If you are saving a little bit of money, (I’m not sure you would be) you are losing a lot of time.
I recommend to my friends that they steer away from Creality printers, especially the Ender 3. By the time you do the upgrades that everyone does (BL Touch, better built plate, better sprints, better extruder, better hot end, etc, etc.) you're left with a machine that finally prints well, bust about as much as a better printer, but still has Creality sub-par parts and lack of support. Anycubic, Anker, Bambu Labs, any of these would be a better choice. Or yes, if you have the coin, the Prusa anything.
The ender was a good entry level printer. I didn’t upgrade anything. It printed pla well but couldn’t get it to print petg as well as I would have liked but I learned a lot. I recently bought the bambù x1. It’s like driving a Ferrari compared to the ender.
As a woodworker, I find 3d printing people designing stuff that might take 1-5 hours to print (plus design time), which could have been whipped out in some scrap wood in 10 minutes. Don't get me wrong, 3d printing has it's place, but it's not a REplacement.
Your dust collection adapter is a perfect example of a good use of 3d printing. Painting triangle? Meh, could have just used a block of wood.
For me, it is all about precision. 3d printers offer precision at a fairly reasonable price compared to other computerized machines.
@@ArtisanMade Depends what you're doing. Sometimes that precision isn't required (especially in woodworking), and the time spent trying to obtain that precision could be better spent elsewhere.
Do you share or sell your designs?? I have no modeling skills, and would really like to print a lot of your designs. Thanks in advance.
Sorry I don’t, but most of them are available for free if you do a search
@@ArtisanMade I was looking specifically for two tools you said that you designed, the radius jigs (yours is the best I have seen), and the storage system for your vacuum hose and accessories, I have the same kit.
Do you have links to the files? thanks
Chech the description for the link to the website where I found the files.
If you build the printer and something goes wrong it's your problem. If the printer is pre built and something is wrong they have to replace it.
I have a 3D printer, it is very good but I wouldn't trust it to make precision parts like set squares or spirit levels. I just don't think they're that accurate
These machines are more accurate than any other tool in our shop. They can be used to fabricate replacement machine parts.
If you get an Ender printer in your shop be prepared to have to put aside everything else and just be working on the damn printer all the time trying to get it to print right. Buy a Prusa first time and be done with it.
The prusa is a quality machine that will cost you over $800 now. I hope to get one in the future. I haven’t had any problems printing pla on my ender. Petg is tricky. Not sure if it is the machine or my lack of experience

Great video. I know your video is a year old but the Ender3v2 SUCKS. I spent too much fixing this thing instead of just doing. I really thought it could save me some time and money but is just always in need of a fix. I know the price is good but today, if someone is just looking to add up to the shop, get a Bambulab.
I got the X1 in December. It is awesome!!
@@ArtisanMade i got the P1S yesterday! It is quite a machine. So easy to use. I actually re-watched your video yesterday!
@@Bhrazz it’s like a Ferrari compared to the ender. If you are a woodworker, I put out another 3d printing video a few days ago. I used the bambu lab for all the prints. What a difference
