Hey. I have a pro tip for you: Save your files on a stick or drive or icloud, go to the US, buy one there, and sell it when you go home. But your print looks awsome!
I like the edge case design. I would have also gone for a hard cover to then snap over the screen. Giving it space to hover over the screen and extra thick so it hopefully wouldn't crush in. Also steel dowels are totally underrated. So much better than the filament pieces people love to use for hinges etc.
Thanks! I agree with the snap fit I might try to do this in the future! Yes I’m still surprised most people don’t use steel dowels, I think the hobby is maturing still but eventually it will get there!
Another sick video mate, loving the time-lapses and the realness you showed by including the low moments. Good luck in the states, looking forward to van life content!!! 🚐 🇺🇸
Okay so I don’t usually comment but seeing like 70 views on this was crazy, honestly such a detailed video and I want to say keep going because you’ll get the appreciation deserve if you perceiver. Had a great time watching, thanks a lot :) Also, if you have any tips on how to improve cad skills then lmk because I’m a student learning design and I’d say I’m like mediocre at best and I want to improve but my teachers focus on more practical aspects rather than cad
Hey thanks so much for the supportive comment! I’ll keep pushing and creating more videos :) As for CAD I recommend a channel called CAD CAM tutorial, the mans a CAD Wizard, he even helped me with this video and surface modelling!
I know you are just finding excuse to print a case for your iMac. I often do the same with my 3d printer. Since bubble wrap exist, you can just use that.
Yeah any excuse to print something! I’ll let you in on a secret I’ve actually been using bubble wrap for years to transport it back and forth it just gets super tedious!
Traveling to America indefinitely from the UK whyyyyyyy?! But also I'm not sure if you're aware that a lot of calipers have Data ports you could have collected the data electronically
That’s a very good point, if I had known I definitely would have gotten a digital output one like the absolute mituoyo. I have a big project coming up that I’m going to do in North America :)
The time and attention you put into storytelling is really top tier, I love watching these videos !
Thank you Tara for the support xxx
But more importantly, how did you ship your printer?
Shipped it via postal plane! It fits in the largest standard shipping box for 100$. Unlike the IMac which is too wide and would of cost $300+ to ship.

Good idea not sure if it’s worth it as the price difference isn’t as big as it used to be. Thanks a lot!
That's a great experience despite all ups and downs. The signature humour is unbeatable as always)
That’s very nice of you thanks so much for the support!

the age old tale of finding out you need to use surfaces too late... been there
Haha I will try anything just to avoid surface modelling xd

Why wasn't it possible to use the original apple packaging?
Packaging only survived the first couple trips in the suitcase before crumbling over time so I wanted a more long lasting solution!
Next stop a jig making jig surely?
A jig is always the next stop!
Why'd you move back? You from NY originally?
I have a big project planed in North America :)
I like the video, but why not buy a used box?
I wanted a more reusable practical solution as I go back and forth a lot
Dude, just put a couple of pillows :)
But then I wouldn’t have a cool project to design!
@ yea you’re right, I also learned a couple things, thanks for the video!

You sold your 3D printer?
Never :0 unlike the iMac Its a smaller standard size that can be shipped via postal plane for 100$.
