Aahhh, a modular print-in-place drawer. Nice.
I bet this design would also print really well as a clear print too.
Thanks. Clear is fine. We prefer colors because they make sure that draws are not interchangable between organizers
Clear doesn't really work very well, tho..(as in it's not usually terribly clear after you print it..)
Being honest, thats a genius design.
Especially the option to multiply it by just multiplying the amount
Thanks
Also you aren’t limited to square or rectangular layouts, you could make the unit L or U shaped if you really wanted, it makes it easier to fit them in odd shaped gaps you have, potentially saving space.
Zac Freedman did a tour of the Diamondback nozzle factory. This is how they design all of their stations. All printed, all custom to what their station needs.
For lean it practically necessary
Thanks, that was very interesting
This channel should be renamed to "Overengineering 3D".
Always just trying to shoehorn 3D printing farm into every product and coming up with contrived and totally bogus reasons of why traditional manufacturing doesn't work. It's just sad.
you are sad :(
Some videos definitely are like that, but I thought this one was actually good.
Nice. Maybe I'll make some custom drawers for my garage with this idea.
Thanks for watching. Not a bad idea
@@slant3d : it isn't. Like you said, it's maybe not a product-product, but it's something for the maker that needs this (Waves hand) to reduce inefficient stuff going on in their workspace. It's enough for me to consider a design like the described for myself for my 3D printer work areas.
I think a larger place for the label might be more useful. I have many of these in my workshop, and the one thing i always hate is that the place for the label is too small, at least for my eyes.
Another case of over engerneerin, if you can call this design engineering. Plus the cost factor. Most cases that are 3d printed are great, but cost and time to print is not practical.
Open bins for storing parts are a much better option, and many open bin design storage solutions work fine. Maybe think, quite literally inside the box and just use open storage solutions, less material, less printing time and surely more practical
I'm not absolutely sure but I don't believe Slant3d is a mass hand-assembly type business. I could be wrong, but they are probably for maintenance parts, which is not the same as in a manufacturing workflow.
I hope your channel takes off. So much good, practical information.
Nice Idea on the draws. I just found your channel (and printing business) the Lean videos as well as factory tours are really interesting.
I need that CAD file!
Welcome aboard!
Is that file avaliable for download? I couldn't find here
This is really cool, I've printed organizers before, but I really never thought of them in these terms before.
My question: Why are your 'line' people taking parts out of drawers instead of out of open-top bins/trays? Doesn't the extra motion of opening/closing the drawer add up over time?
My guess is open top bins can lead to parts falling into the wrong bins
I love all the points given. One thing I noticed is the scraping sound when opening the drawer and can reduce its appeal compared to the injection-molded version. Can you do a video on how to alleviate this?
In forest of a 100+ printers humming along, the sound of a drawer is less likely to annoy. ;)
Regarding the sound; this product example has the direction of movement is across the layer lines, so sound produced is probably a worst case scenario. Adding a slight curve, or angle to the draw sides could reduce contact area, but in care modifying the design would be needed to avoid a loose fit. The trick is changing how layer lines interact so as to change the frequency of sound produced. Lower sound frequencies are less annoying. If the drawer, or box printed in a different material (eg: TPU), the sound harmonics would change. This could require two print operations vs. a common print. Alternatively changing orientation 90º of either component would help, as layer lines would be perpendicular vs. parallel. But again, this would require two print operations. All trade-offs in constraints of a design.
I would try adding two small bulges to the bottom of the drawer to act as skids that have significantly less contact area. It should reduce the amount of friction and therefore noise.
What about instead of adding the small rib on the handle for rigidity, you would actually subtract that rib from the entire shape?
It'll add more "skin" to the shape without actually altering the handle, would it work?
This was brilliant! Wow! I love product design engineer and you being one with great skills to explain it in front of camera, is just pleasing and informative to watch.
Thank you for the effort you put in these daily videos and sharing your ideas.
wow! Super simple and ez
But still want to see some sort of connection between the blocks. With this, you'll be able to print more w/o a problem
Thanks
am from Puerto Rico ,3d printing still in progress, slow, but still, people most part of the time just print ordinary stuff , I have 2 (ender pro) machines and 2 resin ( Elegoo) machines, I really need help with my plans because I try to take advantage of course and target the need of my people in many areas, home decor, toys and more professional production with good price, I try to make a living but be a moral person to lol ( good price, quality etc.) I like this channel is more realistic 🤔
Just rewatching this with the thoughts of other things that could be included with this. The backs of the drawers could be designed to accept a magnet, not for assembling or fitment, but more for tracking parts usage. The presumption being that the back of a set of drawers can back up to a plate with a matrix of magnetic reed switches that can be used to also assist with parts restock. Drawer n in panel g on station 165 was opened for more than 1 second, which suggests that one piece was removed. Under 1 second we may need better labels if this happens a lot. Bin contains 160 parts, when 125 have been pulled, refill to 150 between shifts. (or hand the person working that station at the next shift a plastic bag of bags with the parts to refill, each with a card identifying which drawer the parts go into, click the 'restocked' button to the right of the drawers once complete.
Haha, explicit KANBAN drawers.
Nice design overall.
You're my spirit genius. All these ideas in my head and you bring them to life.
Hello Gabi great design, anyway we can have access to it.
Do you even need drawers? Why not just part bins?
You could just print a separator for injection drawers and just glue that inside.
An individual is welcome to do that. But it is not a good mass production option.
This is cool but serious question.. as a proper print farm why do your demo prints always look really low quality? There’s layer lines, ghosting, filament bulges etc
Wouldn’t you want to be demoing the quality of your farm at it’s highest?
(Serious question not trolling)
Is that file avaliable for download? I couldn't find here
This is going to be handy for organizing my machine shop tools! Thanks.
Just starting my adventure into 3d printing
Liked the video, as always. However I think I noticed print quality is not that good?
I would love to have the stl file to print some drawers to store my stuff.
that could indeed be a good product to sell, with further optimizations.
I'd love to see more videos about the business side of the farm. Where do you find those clients who would buy these parts? There must be a lot of people lined up if you need them mass manufactured. Are you selling them on your own ecommerce site or a third party? Are you cold-calling local factories and pitching these to them? Or is it something you were commissioned to do and have now generalized for other clients? There's plenty of information out there on how to design and engineer good 3D-printed parts, but very little about how to monetize them.
Heh, drawers
Really cool
Thank you
Do you make designs available?
The files for this are not yet available
@@slant3d : Shame... X-D
so you share the step anywhere? I would love to a able to take a closer look at a model made by you.
Outstanding. This is truly genius. I certainly appreciate your common sense and guidance. Thank you.
If you are trying to optimize for _manufacturing_, the starting point shouldn't be the hobbyists' drawers, but the professional solutions.
For manufacturing purposes drawers aren't good, a useless extra movement to open and close them each and every time, also it has the potential to miss the correct drawer.
For Kanban purposes it's easier to have a slanted base for the containers, so from one side the items collect on the front of the containers, and from the other side you can have two containers behind each other: when the first one runs out you take it out, the second runs to its place, and the empty container place calls for refilling. Also helps that from the eyelevel of the operator the whole container is visible, there are no obscured corners, to be sure to use all of the items inside.
The container should be large enough so the assembly operator's hand can enter and the inner corners should have a radius so no item has to be fished from the corners, while it needs no marking, it's the position that is marked so when the empty containers are collected, you save the trouble of matching containers to goods. Then the containers are refilled according to a different plan, and placed on the empty, rear positions.
This all for mass manufacturing, where you really need speed, precision, and Kanban, if your manufacturing is just a step above hobbyists, then your solution is a small step forward. Although the transparent boxes give a better view on the presence of parts inside than the small opening above the handle, and the kanban-pocket should be adjusted depending on the size of the goods inside the drawer (eg. an M2 nut doesn't need to be refilled after the same _volume_ as an M6).
I loved the 3D printing part of the video, that's genial.
The design is optimized for being manufactured. IE this is a the optimal way to design an organizer box to make thousands of them affordably with 3D Printing. The individual application or specific product being manufactured would have different design needs.
All good points if making a resource for on a manufacturing line itself.
You just mean bins?
Genius organization drawers. Well thought out. Might do something similar.
Print quality... a bit lack luster. Definitely tons of room for improvement there.
The parts are textured.
You are always coming with revolutionairy and genius designs
Thanks for watching
Excellent out of the box…. Or in the box, thinking.
Liked how the thought process behind the thing is described! yet my personal likings are not completely agree with the design - f.e. i would make the drawer lockable.
Go for it
Nice design as always :) @slant3d it gives me 7h 15min and $2.15 in some average priced PLA for a 50x50x80 box. Would you share how is on your end for comparison?
Print time and material are dependent on the design of the part. You may need to tray various settings to hit your goal.
A Brilliant Design Solution well done
not patented, I am going to copy this design. thanks for all your info's and videos.
Go for it!
@@slant3d thanks very much.
Gridfinity
Gridfinity is great! Especially if you have an active project and need things on hand right away and have sufficient desk space. Although if desk space is limited and you need a bit more vertical storage, this might be the way to go. Of course, there are a lot of options if you look around. The great thing about 3D printing is you can always find or make something that fits your needs!
i dont think gridfinity has drawers like this. they have other projects, but those attach to a base which is not really a drawer like the video shows.
@@VD-cc4hxIt doesn't have drawers that I know of. Of course, given how active gridfinity development is, it's probably just a matter of waiting.
This whole thing is another level
or just clip onto a clear acrylic panel in front? idk 4:50
rails or holes for 3d print to clip onto it. not sure.
Bravo!
Good ideas...prints look like you need to tune your EM
The parts are textured
@@slant3d got ya....hard to see from the video
Do y'all print all the parts for youtube on ultra-draft or with fuzzy skin?
You're doing this stuff for an apparently successful business, so I'd hope your production parts are a lot better, but the print quality of the parts you show is REALLY unimpressive. I've had better quality off an old CR-10 with 500+ hours on it.
Can I buy one of your printers?
Unfortunately, We don't sell our printers. They are not designed for consumers
@@slant3d would you guys ever consider getting into that industry?
@@TheMakerFactory There's plenty of options. Personally, I went for a Prusa, but Creality, Sovol, Bambu, etc are all options. Is there a specific need that you don't think you can get from current printers?
@@TheMakerFactory They already did and felt like they were losing focus, so the consumer printer was axed.
