Well done Bryan, absolutely love your content, it's detailed, well explained and genuinely informative where the focus is on the process more than the result.
My chairs/table use nail-in glides. Have to change them every few years. Now, the trimmer head button I printed out of PLA2 is on its 2nd year of use. 💪👍
I've made all kinds of little things for the house since I started 3D printing. Drawer organizers, tripod hangers, custom-sized boxes for equipment... It's fun. 😃
I had to replace a missing leg on a raised bed frame I got on the cheap. I also used Tinker Cad to design it so I wouldn't need to use bolts to attach it. Do to it being 14 inches tall I made it into sections and Glooped them together for a strong bond. Having an easy program like Tinker Cad helped give me a leg up on this project.
Cut that time in half by upping the perimeter count to eliminate the infill. Infill really slows things down and, not that this needs it, perimeters are stronger.
Just for grins, I resliced the part with 6 perimeters (so no infill). Everything else being equal, the print time estimate is still 12 minutes. Interestingly the settings I used for the prints in the video created solid infill on every layer. There's a setting in PrusaSlicer that controls that. If a feature on the model has an area under a defined threshold, it prints solid. (Print settings > Infill> Advanced > Solid infill threshold area. The default setting is an area of 70mm^2.
@@BV3D even w/ an FX8350 Fusion still takes a minute or 2 to fire up. 😕 7min w/ 3 perimeters. Minimum layer time (5sec) got me though. 🤬 It's under filament > cooling > advanced. Speed after layer 2 was under 50mm/s. Took that out and got it down to 4m. So, almost longer to run start gcode than to print. 🤣
It's a great tool for making mechanical parts to measurements without having to learn sophisticated CAD software. I've been able to use it for all kinds of utilitarian parts like a new leg for my subwoofer and various jigs. I also successfully designed some fun 3D gift tags to attach to presents last Christmas. Great fun.
@@Agamemnon2 I really like the idea of personalized items. My daughter is always asking me to make gifts for her friends! The problem is, if it's not on thingiverse, it doesn't get printed. Thingiverse used to have an edit tool but it hasn't worked in ages. I'm definitely going to be using tinkercad from now on.
I love making stuff for around the house... Keeps the wife happier if a few prints help to keep the house in shape 😁... Bryan... Been watching the hair grow for ages now! When you gonna do a man bun or 3D print a hair appliance... My hair is almost as long as yours and I'm trying to figure out a 3D printed solution 😊
Cool Bryan!! I have spent countless hours teaching myself fusion 360, then I heard about tinkercad. For some of the quick easy stuff its a great option to have.
I used to do some of my design in Tinkercad as the workflow is fast and then export to fusion 360 for better tools, however, since the changes to fusion 360 for the free licence once I export from Tinkercad to Fusion it crashes if I try to do it say the day after and I have to uninstall and re-install fusion 360, the only workaround I have found to this is to crack the free trial version which I am not 100% happy doing but seeing as Autodesk have done nothing despite me reporting the bug it is the only option left open to me
I like the new glides. That grayish plastic disc that contacts the floor is some kind of low-friction plastic. It's the same kind of stuff they sell in those furniture moving kits with the big foam pads on one side and the low-friction plastic stuff on the other 👍
I don't see a reason to throw out solid wood chairs, and a solid wood table with a stone inlay, and replace them with a particleboard table from IKEA, when I can spend a few minutes designing and printing something, and fix the chairs for literally a few pennies. 😉
I'm 'floored' by your 'charitable' contribution to the 3d Printing community! Well done good sir!
I'm on the edge of my seat, I can't tell you how much I chair-ish these comments.
Well done, sir. The chairman wishes to table this discussion for now, though. 😄
@@BV3D Well played good sir! I'd continue with this frivolity, but I wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Hooray for practical prints!
Also hooray for not scratching the wood floor! 😄

Fixing things is fun. Even more so when you can design and print a replacement part to do it! 👍
Thanks for the quick intro to tinkercad!
It is amazing how many things you can find a use for once you have a 3D printer in the house.

I see what you did there. 😂
Your “dad joke” style t-shirt is amazing
Another great video to show another amazing way 3D printing can be a benefit to our lives.
Nice to see the FLsun making parts. Thanks!
Thank you.

@@BV3D on a delta, that shouldn't take long at all. All comes down to slicer tuning I guess. 👍
@@OldCurmudgeon3DP @Old Curmudgeon Yep! I tend to use conservative settings rather than pushing things to their limit. 😇

Wow! Thank you very much! 😃
Thanks for sharing!
Great video Bryan!
another great video
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Tinkercad looks so easy to use.
Thanks Bryan 👍
It does work on an android tablet but is so difficult to use on there.

Awesome Video tutorial
I see you’ve leveled the playing field for when next we meet and can consume tacos together! Nicely done!
Tacos bring the world together. I look forward to that day! 😋

Why not just replicate the original glide and print it out of ABS?

bruh if you have something that old you go to ikea
If that's all that's broken? Bet it outlasts Ikea after being repaired.

Your shirt is nerdy and a terrible joke and where do I get one?
It came from Amazon. I can't find the exact one, but there are many similar ones. Here's one: amzn.to/3aEfc0S
