Welp, several people noticed that the Magic Bullet part did end up wearing out again, and sure enough it doesn't mix anymore! I'll have to revise that, but since I now know that the metal gear piece is threaded into place I should be able to do that soldering iron insert trick with it not connected to the motor. Worth an update video??
Id would say your best bet for getting that blender to work with FDM 3d printable parts would just be epoxy maybe JB weld. Maybe could try a threaded insert and set screw.
Also small tip, trying to heat something with just the very tip of a conical iron is very inefficient as the thermal resistance will be maximized. Increasing the tip size to increase contact area and/or decreasing contact angle will help immensely. The more metal on metal contact, the better the heat flow.
The last one was really interesting to me as a physiotherapist. Nowadays, many patients can't afford great orthesis or prosthesis as they are extremely expensive in some cases. The possibility to design them from scratch, with the exact measurements of the pacient and the ability to simply print them, blows my mind. This will be a life changing development in the field.
Yes! I know there are some amazing innovations happening with high tech 3D printing in the medical field, but it's nice to contribute something that can be done with the more accessible hobby level printers
I want to find it also! Where is it? :P Also, I need to know when she makes a lot of noises. I'm going to grow a mustache, and bring a filming crew. You know, it always worked in those documentaries from the 70's and up to now right? If I'm a plumber; or surprise someone at their most embarrassing time, always leads to "bow chika wow wow" right? LOL!
finally practical stuff I can do on a 3d printer. I might not do those exact projects, but it's the idea of having a need and using a 3d printer to help out
As an avid climber myself, that brace is an excellent aid. Recovery post injury is always so frustrating because the more you do, the longer it takes to heal. Great solution :)
Man, give the poor bullet a break and check the "only fill to here" line on those cups. You overfill them and put way too much strain on the motor and those nifty new parts.
This kind of printing is how I first learnt to make replacement parts. Functional prints, esp replacement parts, are by far my favourite thing to design and print. Keep up the good work Devin!
ECO-ABS Filament from Dremel is actually " modified version of PLA " so beware - no real temperature resistance here. Also - tricky one, that GF, she just a ring from you.
I jammed my finger pretty bad in football, and the sports trainer gave me two of what Devon ended up using for his girlfriend, but the ones I used worked together and one was slightly smaller than the other and they slipped over each other and kept my whole finger straight.
The vast majority of us are pretty happy with our healthcare here in America. And you are right we should question the government. The same inefficient and bloated government some fools want to put in charge of healthcare.... makes no damn sense.
@@Warhawk76 you must not have used the healthcare in the us much if your perfectly happy with it. As is it's pretty garbage, and americans spend more on healthcare per person than most other people do. Whether or not we should go the universal healthcare route or not is to for debate, but there needs to be some change.
The two times my 3d printer came to the rescue in a pinch: When I was assembling a bed frame only to find one of the plastic catch pieces that secures a lat was missing, so I took measurements of one of the other ones, threw together a cad model and had a working piece printed within half an hour (I still sleep on this bed frame and the printed piece functions perfectly to this day). The second time was the safety mechanism on my leaf blower broke so it refused to turn on. I modeled and printed a little cam piece to engage the switch and once again in like half an hour I had the blower up and running so I could finish my yard.
About the blender connector, you could have designed a cap over the center of the piece that would have stopped it from touching the bottom and melting.
That fan could use some more functional 3D print: maybe a 90 degrees arc for the switch cord to slide on it, or (if you want to over-enginerd it) a little lever structure that redirect the pulling force by 90 degrees.
FYI, If the light fixture you removed from your fan is anything like the ones I've worked with (it appears to be) then the cap at the top can be fairly easily removed and reinstalled. Then you'd just need to plug the relatively small hole at the bottom.
I see on that little brass shaft coming out of the motor there is a spot for a ring to fit around there and that would keep the plastic you’re from pushing down against the face plate
I had an old dock for an iPhone 4 that had this metal rod for a back test. Instead of throwing it I remixed a Brodit MagSafe holder and a universal ball joint (from Thingiverse) and was able to tinkercad some parts that go on top of the rod and glued to the ball joint and revived an old dock and updated it for MagSafe charging. Now it will live on for many years! It didn’t cost me a lot to fix! 3d printing revives old thing too. Btw Natalie has tiny hands or yours are huge :)
That brass piece in your Silver Bullet is a threaded insert. JUST TAKE IT OFF THE SHAFT FIRST! Then you can use your soldering iron to insert it into your printed part. They're designed to be melted into the part for a solid grip. Google it! ;-) They're great for 3D printing so you can bolt directly into your parts.
I've printed ball bearings when I want to avoid wear (two inner circles and two bigger outer circles with grooves for the balls in between. Printed balls will not be perfectly round so I use a file to finish them. Tolerance is ca. 0.5 mm to both sides with PLA). In your case the balls could be protruding to limit surface friction (no promises, the balls could melt as well :-) )
I've had my 3D printer about a year. A couple of months ago one of the plastic levers broke on the toaster. I took the good one and modelled two so they matched. The toaster is back!
This is exactly what i use 3d printing for. I just finished a monitor stand that fit my needs. Also I have been working on a flash modifier system much like the mag mods but much cheaper. Wood working jigs are expensive, 3d printing to the rescue, sure they arnt as nice as the others but they get the job done.
HOLY SMOKES! I have the EXACT same problem with the lights on my fan when using VR. I do like the light, but almost never use it. I'm absolutely doing this mod to save my friends and me from smashing lights and controllers. :)
Oh neat, I fixed a magic bullet the same way. I'd accidentally cracked the original plastic (gah) gear in my roommate's blender. I checked and at the time there were no third party replacements anywhere. Fortunately I worked at a makerspace on campus so I had a coworker teach me solidworks and I used some calipers to model the old one then beefed it up. Then printed it on the stratasys machine we had. Popped it on with some super glue and as far as I know it's still working to this day. Probably my favorite print I've ever made.
The Magic Bullet make is a great example of how 3D printing can divert products from landfills! I hope there are place in the future that will fix our products like this, but new things can be so cheap unfortunately. The ceiling fan is a good example of how 3D printers are good for creatives and designers. Have you looked into getting LEDs on your ceiling or walls to create your desired lighting effects? I don't know much about lighting, but LEDs take up almost no space.
@15:15, I've run into the same problem. Unless you put a spacer between the bottom.of the print and the motor, the heat from the friction will melt the plastic. Even ABS. Nylon has two things going for it, one is higher temp resistance, but the other, even better thing is its naturally friction resistant.
12:54 Lol when I saw that I asked myself why your fusion360 looks so nice while mine doesn't look very nice. Then I remembered I had to put mine on the lowest settings possible in order to not have it crash every 10 seconds :-)
You had the right idea with the soldering iron, but the wrong execution. You should have had a drop of solder at the tip to aid heat transfer from the iron to the shaft - the way you did it your only point of contact was the point of the tip so you had very little heat transfer. Same principle helps when soldering a wire - if you try with a clean iron on a bare wire it takes ages to heat up the wire, if you put a tiny drop of solder on the tip of the iron the wire heats up instantly.
i fixed so many things with 3D printing. the latest one was few days ago when i fixed a melo 3 tank on a yamapuff battery and made a custom drip tip. btw, a good trick with pla is to boil water and rinse it inside, it expands (for your first case) and become flexible so you can fold it in useful ways like i did with the drip tip
Why you didn't take advantage of that electronic cable in the fan, like an infrared receiver or wi-fi receiver and you can turn on the fan with Google home or a remote.
Honestly you have great content, you just take too long to execute that content... Not asking you to change, you are amazing just the way you are, just sharing my experience because honestly ? You deserve more recognition.
Great video! I know this is an old video but I feel the need to tell you PLA or anything we use to print with is not UL listed. And technically illegal to use on a live circuit. There are a lot of light switch covers and such that are available to print and with them not being tested they are technically not allowed to be used. While i know they are safe and non conductive, I feel the need to tell everyone this. Keep up the great work. I am slowly making my way through all of your videos!
Roflmao the hand from. Under the desk cracked me up!! 😂😂 I thought it was a rubber hand (like for tattooers) and then you said it was attached to your girlfriend! I lost it! 🤣🤣 some of your weird edits/gimmicks are nerdy and even cringy but, keep at 'em cuz you definitely have some gold sprinkled in that humorous bone you have!
Great video. Did you ever show how you measured the parts with the caliper and incorporated that into fusion. That was a very intricate part. Would love to see a video on measuring.
Hearing it up didn’t work not because of giant heat sink but because heat travels upwards and you’re trying to heat up something underneath… you need to heat it while it is above the welder so that enough heat can reach the flameless metal
Awesome video! Would you mind sharing the stl. file for the fan cover? I did the exact same thing to my fan awhile back after bashing the lights with my windows vr setup lol
I wanted to but I threw out the logo tag of the fan and now I don't remember what the brand was.. so I don't know the value of uploading a fan cover made specifically for an unknown fan :(
@7:24 you are spinning that part, but your center spindle and the brass bit around it aren't moving. The sound made as you removed the cup gave it away that this wasnt going to work either. Maybe use some gorilla glue on the brass bit, to help ensure it locks to the plastic? I mean, it's not going to last for long either way, but it does help. Otherwise, use a pulley puller to remove the brass bushing and either replace the bushing with a better knurled model, or print the plastic part again, but designed to fasten directly to the motor's shaft. A grub screw, CA glue, keying the shaft and part, or something equivalent will work to hold it better. And yes, I know this is an old video. I do not care. Perhaps the information will help for a later project.
You should review the Monoprice Ultimaker It is $480 on amazon and almost fully assembled it is also a direct drive printer and has a heated build plate. Plus, it promises good quality prints and has an anti jam system
Thanks for the 10$ off Soylent Devon! I've been loving it so far, as I usually have no appetite, and it helps me get through the day without that pesky eating, or getting sick. Glad I remembered this video
Your sisters magic bullet? Oh! It's a blender, Phew!!! ... FYI it means something entirely different over here :-) On a more serious note, great video, I'm a big fan of practical designs and prints, especially when they lengthen the life of other stuff.
Hey dude, thanks for the awesome videos, I'm new to 3-d and I'm learning loads from them!! Can I ask you about that awesome Ramskull model you have on your wall? Are there files available for it, or is it your own private stash!??
Trick for the next time, don't try to heat the motorshaft, only touch the gear, the conduction between the metals is a bit slower than from the shaft downwards towards the motor, heating a T-Nut with a screw in it, if you only touch the screw it takes forever
Welp, several people noticed that the Magic Bullet part did end up wearing out again, and sure enough it doesn't mix anymore! I'll have to revise that, but since I now know that the metal gear piece is threaded into place I should be able to do that soldering iron insert trick with it not connected to the motor. Worth an update video??
Those magic bullets are just rubbish, mine did the same thing.
Why not just super glue it in?
Id would say your best bet for getting that blender to work with FDM 3d printable parts would just be epoxy maybe JB weld. Maybe could try a threaded insert and set screw.

Looked like the white replacement part for the blender was moving freely without turning the motor shaft. Did it wear out?
Love ur vods!
I would like to see the design process of that brace in more detail please.
What 3d printer should I get this would be my first one.
Remodel part means probably you print new part, am I right? Why you didn't use simply drill bit with right diameter to make hole a bit bigger?
Your sisters magic bullet? Oh! It's a blender, Phew!!! ... FYI it means something entirely different over here :-)
On a more serious note, great video, I'm a big fan of practical designs and prints, especially when they lengthen the life of other stuff.
6:21 I knew it! Soylent is made of people! Those are their screams you are hearing. ;-(
I love practical prints
Was that last nylon part on the magic bullet a success? Seems, that when You turn it with Your finger it’s just slipping on the metal part..?
Hey dude, thanks for the awesome videos, I'm new to 3-d and I'm learning loads from them!! Can I ask you about that awesome Ramskull model you have on your wall? Are there files available for it, or is it your own private stash!??
Search MyMiniFactory for 'wire skull'
Trick for the next time, don't try to heat the motorshaft, only touch the gear, the conduction between the metals is a bit slower than from the shaft downwards towards the motor, heating a T-Nut with a screw in it, if you only touch the screw it takes forever
