Is 3D printing worth it?

  • A few real-world workshop examples that make use of 3D-printing.
    I hate how 3D printers are always advertised with the things they can make. Mostly figures or models of stuff that just looks cool in the first moment, but very few people actually need that.
    That's why I didn't want to dive into 3D printing for some time. Since I then had access to the printer of my dad I came up with a few things that actually make good use of a printer for the workshop.
    The materials I used were PLA and PETG. Everything that was white was PETG and the rest was PLA.
    I use soldiworks for designing.

      I've always sort of considered them expensive slow toy makers that had potential to make copies of broken parts. Then there is ANOTHER learning curve and questionable payoff PLUS where to put it in my limited shop space. . Now I'm actually starting to think this could be indispensable. Thanks for opening my short sighted eyes on this one Marius. Well done.

I'm in agreement with our host here, that mostly (99.9% of the time) the 3-D action is for something silly or pointless, some kind of trinket, something that could be made otherwise, something that's poor design. I'm spending a lot of time on this process b/c of my job, but in general wouldn't spend my own money on it. I have bought THOUSANDS of dollars worth of tools and books and welders and torches too. This technology doesn't in general do what I want! It does a lot of interesting and amusing things to be sure.

      The magic is not useful stuff to print. What he has discovered and was able to achieve the skill to do is the REAL magic of 3D printing.
      the ability to translate a desire in ones head into a model on the computer that the Printer could then replicate for him. IE the ability to go from MIND to MODEL to OBJECT in hand. that is the true magic and power of 3D printing.
      I can dream up anything. almost literally anything. but if I can't "make it real" its just that. a dream. if you can learn to master even "basic" modelling skills (its amazing what you can make with tinkercad and you can learn tinkercad in 10 minutes or less) the sky is almost literally the limit!

I recently bought one and have so many things I want to print because the store items are too expensive or just don't quite fit my needs. I know it will take time a lot of failures to get it right but know it will pay off by being able to print things tailor made to my needs instead of having to use off the shelf things that kinda work.

      The American spelling and pronunciation is actually more accurate and more historically significant than the British version. The person who discovers elements gets to name them. Sir Humphry Davy, a British chemist, discovered this metal in 1808. Davy originally gave this element the name aluminum (um not ium) after the mineral alumina, whose name derive from the base alum which means “bitter salt” in Latin. This name was also documented by Davy in his book Chemical Philosophy. A separate scientist - who did NOT discover the element - decided that Davy’s spelling didn’t sound sufficiently Latin, and proposed the name aluminium(ium).

      Yup. Donating is the answer, or putting something You did up for free Yourself.

      That's a neoliberal thing I'm afraid: "Performance" used to be, in a more social-democratic or Keynesian sort of economy, the projects You finished TOGETHER, to make Your society a better place, be it mad infrastructure projects like publicly owned railway-building the European way, or be it full employment as a social virtue, or so on. Today, "performance" is what You stole Your neighbour, Your minions or Your society (in taxes for example) to brag about it Yourself as if You "earned" anything, what the ones bragging the loudest didn't, the least. That's why I brought up the open source idea with uploading Yourself - people don't even think this way these days any more.

  • @Guardian_Arias

    Took me forever to finally buy a 3D printer, the first few prints where just figurines, but then i started selling them and then once the word got out i started to print and sell things like box joint jigs with locating pins to be used with routers, drill bit sharpener guides for a dremel, a pletora of other dremel attachments. I never really charge all that much because the time i spend on these attachments I think of it as i would have anyways so i just charge cost of material X5 to cover a few reprints plus extra material. In just 2 months the printer paid itself off plus mods, plus all the filament i have used and more. I need to perfect my template for gear cutting using a router table only by riding on the bit bearings.

      This is the real catch. A good fabricator can probably crank out most of this stuff faster than the time it takes to actually made a digital design. A lot of it can also just be purchased off the shelf. So .......again you really have to weight the options. You're also stuck with plastics which may not be durable for many things. Not to mention the pollution factor of plastics.

    Many good creations were demonstrated here. Unfortunately, most of us do not have these needs, such a great work space and tools, or the time to invest in making such bi-products.
    A 3D printer seems to make sense if you're both practical and creative, and if you don't have a local hardware store, or simply have special needs not covered by what any shop has available. It can be a very time consuming process. It does, however, offer more independence.
    If people share their work, the potential is greatly improved. It's not hard to imagine it, if you've watched any episode of Star Trek involving a "replicator". The limits to these machine's usefulness, is the ratio between useful and not useful solutions available, and the properties of the actual printing materials. Hopefully, these things will just keep improving over time, and one day we might find such machines essential and commonplace.

    I've had 3D printer for about a year, this was one of the videos i watched before it arrived. After the "honey moon" period, which was really about making it work perfectly while getting the most needed and wanted prints out, there was couple of month of not using it. But it slowly returned back. now i use it about one or twice a week, at least.
    Most useful prints:
    Holder for a keyboard so it can stand beside living room coffee table leg.
    Replacement knob and part of the mechanics on my toilet flush button (push button converted to pull).
    Vice jaw covers. I used softer plastic on the inside part to give it a bit of flex using 3D pen.
    Box for dimmer circuit for a cheap soldering iron so i can weld plastic.
    Locking mechanism for a rotating chair that connects it to the desk for simracing, also a platform for a button board to sit just beside the wheel.
    Loads of "chili" growing stuff... too much to list. Also sanding blocks, custom extra long thumb rest for bass guitar, adapter to connect PC fan to outlet air vent and clips for closing plastic bags.
