    About the moon and star bowl. The moon on the front is the part that makes it a yarn bowl. You are supposed to feed the yarn trough that to keep it from tangling. So it has to be a hole all the way.

    • @eth0whelm
      @eth0whelm 8 месяцев назад +8

      Glad I'm not the only one who was going to point it out. Also, if the sun was a separate feature, it would print fine upside-down, and you could attach it after.

    • @TS_Mind_Swept
      @TS_Mind_Swept 8 месяцев назад

      It could still have a hole but not be the hole thing

    •  8 месяцев назад +3

      @@TS_Mind_Swept no. because you have to be able to take the yarn out mid project to start on something else. Otherwise you would need multiple bowls. This 3d-print is just the normal design of a yarn bowl but 3d-printed.

    • @TS_Mind_Swept
      @TS_Mind_Swept 8 месяцев назад

      Yes. As I didn't say the hole had to be enclosed Keepo

    Recently, I found your channel and subscribed, and I've been going through your library. Your comment at 20:32 is what I suffer from the most. By trade, I work managing cloud infrastructures, but I also enjoy making things with wood (traditional, CNC, or laser) and 3D printing (resin and FDM). My biggest problem is that when I'm making something for someone or trying to sell it, it can always be better or it's not good enough. Then, I get people who tell me they love it, but all I can see are imperfections. This is also why it blows my mind when I see some things being sold, and I think to myself, "How could anyone buy that?" Anyway, I think your channel and videos are awesome, and I've been learning a lot.

    Kids toys all use AA or AAA batteries. I have a two year old and have quickly realized this. Also, it makes sense. Keeps the toys cheaper, the AAs last long enough and you don’t need to recharge with a crying kid asking for the toy. Plus you don’t have to worry about lithium batteries when you throw away the toy

    • @1234fishnet
      @1234fishnet 8 месяцев назад +2

      It depends if the toy has a motor or only light+sound. For a motor a rechargable battery is definitely better for the environment (and your wallet in long term). Example: toy trains.

    • @oliverherzog7702
      @oliverherzog7702 8 месяцев назад +2

      I do not worry about lithium batteries. I just throw them away.

    • @NorbertHarrer
      @NorbertHarrer 8 месяцев назад

      Yes, same here. I have two kids, and they go through a ton of AA and AAA batteries. However, I switched to rechargeable NiMH batteries. I have about 20-30 of them and use a couple of crates similar to the ones shown in the video to store them. I've probably avoided buying hundreds and hundreds of regular batteries that way. It has saved me money, and it's better for the environment. And since I have enough of them, there is never any downtime. Bonus: The rechargeable batteries are very unlikely to leak when they get old.

    • @rache5399

    Kinda wild to see my store in your video (coastlinemaker). Alot of our dragons are actually more expenses, the prices shown are just the cheapest option. I will agree though the dragons are definitely getting saturated and we are putting alot more focused into home goods type items and not as much of a focus into toys. I appreciate your content and love the videos!

    Hey Slant, just wanted to reach out and thank you for the advice on my product! My wife and I have been watching your videos for a very long time, and we're big fans.
    You're spot on with your analysis, the drawers we print aren't perfect for 3D printing, as the handles require support (depending on what filament, sometimes bridging suffices, and the bottom drawer has a complex angle+fillet requiring about 25g of support per part. We've tried redesigning it a few times but kept settling on the fit and feel of the current design.
    Thank you for the kind words, they're incredibly validating 🙂

    We use AA and AAA for remotes and odds and ends, BUT since we use rechargeable versions, it'd be nice to have two organizers - one for spent batteries and one for fully charged

    • @1234fishnet
      @1234fishnet 8 месяцев назад

      I love rechargable batteries. They are much better for the environment. But for remotes it is okay to use normal batteries. They don't consume a lot of power and cheap rechargable drain without usage.

    Pla does just fine in a hot car. I made a custom rearview mirror after mine fell ( I could've reglued it, but I genuinely liked having more visible space, and my solution eliminated glare from people's brights)
    I took a blindspot mirror and a suction cup not-a-gopro mount and designed and printed an adapter. I tested it and it sagged down about 1-3 mm on the first hot day but after that it lasted for nearly 2 years, even in the hot sun. I also have a microcenter silver pla religious symbol sitting on my dash in my car. I let it melt and take to the contours of the dash and it is still silver after about 2 years.

    We use a bunch of rechargeable AA and AAA batteries for electronics, and camping. We use a top loading dispenser design. Charge them up, drop them in the top. Pull a fresh one out of the bottom! We also use 3D printed sleeves that allow the use of a AA battery in place of a C battery, and have purchased adapters to use 2 AA in place of a D cell.

    @BruteClaw 8 месяцев назад

    So, I run wireless microphone packs at a local youth theater. And they are all designed for AA batteries. Unfortunately drop in rechargeable AAs have not been reliable enough to run 2 shows in a single day on one charge. So, we still run regular AAs in them most of the time. But they usually just get stored in the Amazon Basics box they are shipped in. If we start getting more sets of the rechargeable, then organizers like that might be great. One color for charged and one color for waiting to charge.

I stock them now, as more than once friends or colleagues visiting me even asked for the ones I actually had in use. Also a great use of nearly empty spools for me (hobbyist, no business).

    I have loads of batteries for wireless mice, wii remotes, my discman and so much else. And the despensers are useful to make sure your rechargables are cycled so no individual battery is cycled too much. I feel like things chaging on USB is still a thing for just expensive, mass produced things, maybe less common in your life.

Even with shipping not included lez say I buy 50 bucks of goods, how can a 2-3 bucks product can even be profitable? A small print might require as little as 10g of raw plus 20 minutes of print. Which I'd price at my costs plus the 2-3 bucks. What do they do to be profitable, do they print those on their own at the bathroom?

    Rechargeable items are typically disposable items, particularly when the batteries aren't user-serviceable. I prefer to generate less waste, so whenever possible, i purchase items that utilize removable batteries.
    Whenever possible, I prefer those removable batteries to be rechargeable (again, less waste). Rechargeable batteries are less useful while they're being charged, so i typically have 2 batteries for every 1 that I need. Those spare batteries need to be stored safely and conveniently.

    - for the 3D printed drawers in the truck: Top drawer only, $15, Top and Bottom drawer together, $40.
    - Or, the toothpick cactus: Pot Only $14.99, Cactus & Pot, $39.99.
