11:42 ever heard the woodworking phrase “measure twice, cut once” ? Maybe you should apply the phrase “check twice, print once” to your 3D printing endeavours
Awesome project! Instead of quick epoxy or CA glue you can actually use the resin you printed with as the adheasive. You just need to have a small blue light pen to activate the uv resin. Then you get a perfect match to what ever you’re printing
The important thing with resin to optimize your time is to fill out the build plate. With resin printing one model or 20 models on the plate takes the same amount of time. This table was probably too big for that, but for future projects it's a good tip to remember.
You literally make the coolest videos. I love your projects so much. You are extremely talented! Side note - I got into wood working because of you after years of wanting to. Thanx for the push I needed to try something new that I now really enjoy. You have literally improved my quality of life.
Aside from some of the jank at the joints, this is incredible! Some improvements I'd make would be to print the branch parts as slightly hollow to act as optical channels, and mount LEDs in the fingers of the base. I'd also include some LEDs in the void at the base of the model and mount a battery pack/control board, then cast that into the base with an opaque epoxy. Also, I know you were sponsored and they provided you the printer, but this is also the exact size/scale that paying a 3D printing company to do it for you makes sense. The joints would line up more accurately and the quality of the print would be better, all for probably a substantially-less amount of money than to do it yourself.
This was a GREAT video bro! And congrats on the upcoming nuptials. Pro-tip on being a married man... the wife is always right. You got lucky this time that the table didn't break, but 99 times out of 100, when the wife says "you probably shouldn't do that..." - she's right. Doesn't work for fiances or girlfriends, but somehow, it's always right for moms and wives. Enjoy
Morley, I can't believe the quality of work you put into your projects! I Do have a suggestion about what you could've done to have the full size table you originally wanted without waiting days for printing. There are plenty of online services that will print a model you supply to them with the settings of your choice. Doing that would have saved lots of time at the cost of paying their price, but it's worth looking into.
To be fair, that first white 3D printed connector is pretty elegant. It's minimal and seems to do the job well. But yours has tons of originality, love the concept! Also, congrats on the wedding,I've got mine coming up in Sept :)
What an incredible project, i love the process you showed and how you ended up with the tree. The cake stand, which is what it is now 😂 (welcome to married life), looks incredible and i think you're right with some under lighting would take it to the next level. Great job Morley 👏
Exquisitely designed and functional too. I would definitely love to have this beautiful piece in my home. Your cat is adorable. Wishing you every happiness for your forthcoming wedding. 😊
that second stump you scanned I could see being an epic wine cooler :D, also, something I picked up watching other videos, if you use UV activated resin to stick the resin parts together then shine a UV torch on it, you'll get the best results.
for adhesive 3d Gloop is the best option for sticking 3d prints together, I was hooked on CA then got some Gloop, it works the Best by far! I am not a sponsor and am in no way connected to Gloop except I buy a lot for use with big projects that are 3d printed. Give it a shot, you will not be dissapointed.
Cool project! and I love the new 3D printer. One thought: Could you use the transparent resin to glue everything together and a handheld UV light to cure in place? This would be difficult with opaque parts, but since it is transparent, I think clear resin might work instead f epoxy or CA glue, and the color would match perfectly.
I had a thought. Couldn't you print the tree, but print it hollowed out so it's basically just a shell? Then, you could use the print as a mould and fill it with resin. Once it cured, you could strip/cut away the 3d printed mould and be left with a solid resin base.
@@MorleyKert I was thinking you could've done that with your fast FDM printer, and you probably would have been able to print the tree at its original scale without wasting too much filament! That might be a cool future project! I loved how you were able to scan a real life object and turn it into a 3d printable object!
Okay so three things. 1, what an incredible idea and execution. 2, You managed to deal with Fusion360 and how it deals with meshes!! I've tried and never had any luck with any part of it. 3, Eden's new haircut is amazing:)
@@MorleyKert Hey Morley, can you give a bit of an insight what kind of specs your pc is running? My mid-tier gaming rig is VERY prone to crashing when I try importing certain STL's
I think its cooler transparent. But i would have rotated the parts so it use less support (if the print area is wide enough maybe it woldnt mean more parts to print) If it holds a man in this orientation, i guess it would have been fine with such layer orientation strength wise... But could be that SLA cant handle "fat layers" as well as FDM
cool vid, If you want to address something like poly cam correctly though it’s technically called photogrammetry. Not an active 3d scanner but it does seem like it.
That table looks amazing that I really want to see you print more furniture using organic shapes :) Regarding print time, I thought that UV resin printers time is defined by height, given a single layer is printed all at once? Also, UltraCradt Reflex has a printing speed of 27mm/h, so in theory you should be able to print a 220mm object in ~ 8 hours.
@MorleyKert yeah fusion is a bit messy with those... afterall great work I really liked it ! I should give myself a try scanning something and printing it !
Your execution is solid, but I’ve noticed that in almost every video, there’s always something that gets shimmed or patched up, like the base this time. Instead of reprinting the other half, you glued it and shimmed it, which, honestly, was tough to watch. I get why you did it-technically, it doesn’t matter, especially for a RUclips video. But it reminded me of a story from the Steve Jobs biography where Paul Jobs (Steve’s father) taught him that the difference between a good carpenter and a great one is that the great one uses good wood even for the back of the wardrobe, where no one will see it, simply because he knows it’s there. That mindset really stuck with me, and now I aim for perfection, even when it seems like it doesn’t matter. Please don’t take this the wrong way-I think you're doing incredible work. It’s always easier to critique someone else, and I’ve been guilty of taking shortcuts myself. I’m sharing this because I love your channel, and I believe you have the potential to raise the bar even higher. Thanks for all that you do!
I thought the printer automatically sends the right curing time to the curing thingy ? How come you needed to give it sun spa treatment ? I know NOTHING about resin printing lol
Loved the video, but I have one small gripe...your "vinyl stop" sound effect was quite distracting because it was way louder than the rest of the video...I'd recommend dropping these effect levels or normalizing the audio so it's not so jarring. Sorry to be a downer in the comment section; loved seeing the project come together (as well as a non-messy polygon mesh. I know those meshes can be frustrating to work with). Cheers!
Thank you 🙏 I bet this would also look great in white PLA on one of your FDM machines - your furniture design is really coming along, this is really original work 👌
This is a really cool project and just the sort of thing that I love 3d printing for. You really should get your printer on a UPS. I use a server grade UPS I salvaged years ago and it'll keep running the printer for well over an hour if the power goes out. I've never had a failed print due to power issues. The scanning app is really cool but I am SOOOO incredibly sick of companies like this making apps for only iphones. For ethical reasons I just cannot get involved with apple products. I used to work in the IT industry way back when and had the (dis)pleasure of meeting Steve Jobs first hand. Why any company would intentionally ignore such a massive market as those of us with android phones baffles me but I guess they just don't like money. I'd happily pay for an app that does what I saw this one do if it worked fully with android.
@@MorleyKert Very interesting. Thank you. TBH I just gave up looking after everything I found that had good reviews was ios only. I'll give polycam a try. Greatly appreciated. :)
Previous videos "Let's take a 3d printer to the park with a power battery..." Current video: "I'm going to start a 24 hour print ,and 4 hours left to go... they're working on the power line down the road... :o "
Man, that Heygears printer is a beast, but it's also nearly 3000 euro... That's not consumer level stuff anymore, well beyond what most people want to spend on a hobby and it kinda baffles me that they keep pushing that thing through youtube sponsorships. Also, please, PLEASE wear a mask when filing or sanding resin, you really, REALLY don't want that stuff in your lungs!
Morley, I love your videos, been a subscriber since 50k, much love to you, but you have got to balance the audio in your videos. You're quiet, the music is crazy loud and the obnoxious record scratch and boom effect are deafening.
"it's so big and it's gonna take forever to print, we gotta scale down"
>Sign in the background says "think bigger"
11:42 ever heard the woodworking phrase “measure twice, cut once” ? Maybe you should apply the phrase “check twice, print once” to your 3D printing endeavours
This was such a fun experiment and is it wrong that I actually agree that it could be a very cool cake stand? Great video Morley!

You never cease to amaze me with your creativity! I would never have thought of some of your ideas. Looks amazing
Thank you so much!
That epoxy exposing to the sun pose was EPIC!!! ... and should be included in the guidelines😂😂😂
Man bless Eden, I was so emotionally invested hoping her little cake stand survives 😂❤
I highly recommend using a respirator when resin printing!!
Amazing! love this 3D printed table! How magic Morley's project is and also this Heygears machine , the effects are incredible!
4:32 you can use blender to "simplify'" the model then export it back 😉
This is so amazing and fashionable ! Want to have this Reflex and modeling a furniture by myself!
You have a BambuLab X1!!! Resin printing is for smaller detailed items not furniture!
To be fair, that first white 3D printed connector is pretty elegant. It's minimal and seems to do the job well. But yours has tons of originality, love the concept! Also, congrats on the wedding,I've got mine coming up in Sept :)

You are such a Dork, Morley. Love how your brain works. But, so glad you didn’t break your future cake stand. Hahaha.
What a super cool build. I'd love a larger version of this too! And, Eden's haircut is super cute!
Thank you! I love her new haircut :)
buy a bambu p1s, print speeds are off the charts! I went from a Creality CR-10S to a Bambu P1S and was amazed at how far the tech had jumped.

If you're looking for ultra transparent resin prints, give the floor polish trick a try! Apparently it produces some really good results.
Mate that was really good. The iPhone software is quality and I really like the end result nice work buddy 👍🏻
Wow, really suprised by the strength! Mother nature is the worlds best architect 😁
Biomimicry FTW!
Nice job Morley wish i could meet you 😊. I have been very inspired
You've brought back a creative spark in my life, thanks

@@MorleyKert keep up the great work! and in an ever growing community of creators I find your content to be very unique and creative.
So cooooool!!! I don't have much experience with 3D printing. Is this machine suitable for me?
Yes! Of course! It’s an one stop production 3D Printer. You can easily learn how to use it and even easy to clean up!
Great job. Looks like a solid 3d printer.
Thanks Mom!
It's not mine but when you stood on it my heart jumped😂
Amazing work man! One question can we have a STL?
I really love that design!
Could you have made it more hollow to lower print time and then pour in epoxy to fill it up?
One of the best ideas. Congrats bro❤️
Thank you!
Nice video, nice tabel, nice project as always
Keep on making this cool stuff 👍🏼
I had a thought. Couldn't you print the tree, but print it hollowed out so it's basically just a shell? Then, you could use the print as a mould and fill it with resin. Once it cured, you could strip/cut away the 3d printed mould and be left with a solid resin base.

have a 3d PHOT under the minimal pieces you need that MATCH the tree stand you are trying to make.
Why do you use Glue to stick parts together instead of using the same liquid resin you have and some UV light?
Morley Kert, going where no one has gone before.
Okay so three things. 1, what an incredible idea and execution. 2, You managed to deal with Fusion360 and how it deals with meshes!! I've tried and never had any luck with any part of it. 3, Eden's new haircut is amazing:)

Hey, u inspire a lot of people!!! Keep on man)) that a lot of work u ve put in there, appreciate it
You are an enthusiastic and fun communicator. Davinci move over!
Dam its going to be a wicked wedding lol
You should try printing in on a 3d printer instead of a resin printer, and max it's speed out , just see how it turns out!!
Really cool.
This is a masterpiece man!
Thank you so much!
I needed this tutorial when I made my smart lock video 🤣
Walking through the forest without your helmet? You wild man!
Why didn't you use your FDM printer ? Prints alot faster and cheaper. You could smooth it out afterwards as well
I think its cooler transparent.
But i would have rotated the parts so it use less support (if the print area is wide enough maybe it woldnt mean more parts to print)
If it holds a man in this orientation, i guess it would have been fine with such layer orientation strength wise... But could be that SLA cant handle "fat layers" as well as FDM

Big stuff like this should be fdm printed
Yes it does
Sorry if i missed it, but did you not have enough resin to just print the correct side of the base?
Why haven't you used the very same UV resin you made the model to glue its pieces together?
That cake stand, thoooo.
Very cool
I wander if on a program like blender it would made the computer less stressed
I think so! I've heard Fusion is not great with high-polygon meshes.
@MorleyKert yeah fusion is a bit messy with those... afterall great work I really liked it ! I should give myself a try scanning something and printing it !
Great intro!
Whats going on with the ceiling in your studio???
drop cloths to deaden sound
How much resin did the prints use up?

Did you actually remove that little growing tree right next to the stump just to be able to make a better scan? :( :(
it was a dead stick.

Well. It needs LiDAR iphones :(
It’s on android too!
*Doesn't have to. It must.*
15 hours but your printing at 50 microns. Maybe do it at a "normal" 200 microns?
Bro should have done bigger….. 12” is was too small
I’d say that’s average
I like your videos, but I'm high and you look like Charles Manson.
Stolen from a different youtube channel: you could also print just the shell and then fill it with epoxy..
