If you're looking for something to bring the backdrop to life, something like peel-and-stick faux brick tiles will recreate the look of your old space fairly inexpensively. If you're looking to keep the new space distinct, you can also get peel-and-stick wood panels, which will similarly add character to the backdrop while making it clear that you're in a new space.
Or he could simply use wallpapers. So much cheaper than any other solution, available in tons of patterns and if one gets bored of them, they can be replaced just as easy. Idk how expensive those may be in Australia, but here in Germany you can get awesome looking ones for 7-15€ at Tedox.
@@marchingknight11 Wallpapers actually do have textures. You are usually limited to a maximum of one or two millimetres difference between high and low spots. But fake brick wallpaper looks surprisingly convincing from a distance, especially on photos.
Or get some sound damping tiles and use double sided easy release tape to set them in a pattern at the back of the shot? Can't hurt acoustics, adds some texture, and packs of those ten or a dozen of them can be had for cheap online these days, comes off without damaging paint if it doesn't look right.
I've had it for a while and this is the biggest project I've done with it. Silly me. With better ply storage and more room to work I hope to use it for more projects in future.
What a happy video to watch. The new, larger space, lots of storage, dedicated resin printing space and the organisation, oh what fun see! Congratulations to you and your family on your new home!
Congrats on the new place. I converted an attached garage to a studio/3d printing room last year and this year I'm working on a Resurrecting a wrecked Travel Trailer to be a mobile studio/maker space. Its great to finally have space for when you need it.
This looks excellent! A "tidy" or "organized" maker space is the holy grail that I'll never find but you've given me lots of inspiration. Great video and congratulations on the move.
Congratulations on the new home and the new work environment. One thing that I really like about your channel is that you show practical uses for 3D printing and other tools.
I love your no-nonse approach putting functionality above all else and really utilizing your engineerig skills and your available tools to make something that fits the job rather than to just buy something. Very inspiring!
Interesting under house area. Here in Kansas, U.S.A., we need to test for Radon gas seeping into living spaces from basements and crawl spaces (like your under house area). We would use a rubber or vinyl membrane to seal against the earth and sides of the structure. Then vent the space under the membrane to the exterior air, high in the air. Radon is heavier than air, odorless, colorless, and carcinogenic. For basement, we vent the underside of the basement slab floor. Wishing you well in your endeavors!
if the back wall is an issue an easy economical solution is vinyl wrapping, or a cladding it with reclaimed wood(real or mimicked), or just a different paint plus vinyl to add your own pop. just ideas, but love what you have done with the new space!
I don't have the luxury of buying a new bigger space but, this has greatly improved my designing skills for my 3DP's, CO2 laser, and essential parts/tools making my little space much better for all my needs. Great job and best wishes for your new place!
Aha, just what I needed. I finally got some "muscle rack" shelves for all the (kindly donated) 3D printers, and now I have to figure out how to make a good electronics and printer testing workspace with proper organized storage. Let the tips begin…!
I plan on moving in the next few months and this is a great video for ideas on how to set things up when that finally happens. My 3D printing area started off pretty simple - I found an old microwave stand at a thrift shop and put my Ender 3 on top, the filament storage box in the center open shelf, and other parts and things in the cabinet below - but after getting an Artillery Sidewinder I ended up needing more furniture to hold everything. The record player stand the Sidewinder lives on isn't as handy as the microwave stand, where I now have multiple plastic totes just sitting around holding parts and supplies, and thanks to Prime Day I'll be getting my first resin printer real soon...lots of good ideas here, though, that I fully intend on stealing as necessary. Congrats on the move and thanks for the behind-the-scenes peek at the setup process!
Perfectly timed!!! I'm setting up my maker space finally with my wife this weekend!!! Putting her sewing and project stuff in with my fdm printers and tools! Was good fun having this play while we set up our space!!!!
Now there's a ready-made collaboration, Teaching Tech and Colin Furze! Colin LOVES tunneling, he'll make quick work of that second room 😉 Move looks grest!
I really enjoyed the journey into the new space. Great to get ideas for my own little workshop area. I'd recommend some wall covering with a little visual interest behind you. Something like faux brick or faux wood paneling, etc.
This feels like a video that maybe won't do as good but I'm actually so interested in this more than 3d printer videos haha. I just moved and will be moving again in months and I'll only have more printers so I'm excited for the video haha
an improvement from my side would be a third spotlight, located behind you/the Prusa. the middle looks bare now so it would fill up the space quite well, plus you could work with some color accents for presentation in the future. Also, an idea would be something like a subscriber counter, like many other RUclipsrs have already, located between the X3D sign and the Playbutton since that space is also quite empty. this could also be fixed by relocating the teaching tech logo. it would be more prominent than what I support since it's a good and beautiful eyecatcher.
When I got my first 3d printer about a month ago, I didn't have a proper place to put it, so I took it as an opportunity to do some upgrades. I built my own wooden workbench, renovated the garage, and optimized and added some new storage to it. It's a great (and cozy) work area now that is enjoyable and motivating to be in!
The person with the most toys at the end wins, I think you are well on your way to a podium finish! I will be looking to take inspiration from this for my own space.
I like the new setup, its super clean and way more professional looking. Honestly the brick was a little drab. Congrats on the new space. I got to get out of the garage and move my printing area and studio to a larger part of the house earlier this year and its nice having more space. Now I just need more time to make videos. Thank you for sharing.
Kick Ass! Looks really good! Can’t wait to see what you create in the new space! Between 3D printing, my laser cutter, RC airplanes, my Nova(muscle car) my K5 (4x4) I’m in desperate need of organizing, and probably throwing away a lot of crap!😂😂🤣
Been following you since you started 4 years ago and it is awesome to see you finally have a place tailor made for you. Cant wait to see what you create now and looking forward to the sort of content you can come up with...
I wish I was so creative in you tube as you I started out the same time as you. And I can relate To all the clobber needed to make such And beyond with cnc milling and lathe machines and milling machines Anyway as we out age our property due to space I do wish I could afford the expansion For which I can afford And so I congratule you for what you have achieved One day I may but untill then I wil still keep watching you evolve
Im late to posting, but Clcongrats on the new home and shop! Id love to have a fraction of the post processing tools that you have such as the tumbler. Quick tip about the table saw or any saws, have the blade protrude past the thickness of the material that is being cut just a bit. That way more teeth of the blades are removing material than just a few blades.
Safety warning for your basement dig: Many places use that heavy plastic liner with rocks over it for a big reason. Radon (probably not in Aus) and moisture control. It's called a vapor barrier and you should make sure you replace with a suitable replacement for your needs. If you don't, you'll get mold problems in not too visible areas of your walls and it'll be just an ugly and unhealthy mess after the years pass.
Aptly timed video - about to move myself. While I don't have the volume of parts or tools that you do, a lot of the organization ideas will carry over. Thanks for the video!
For venting the laser, if that room has normal windows, I dunno about where you are but in the USA you can buy things meant for cloths dryers that fit into a window opening and you close the window down on top of that so you dont need an open doorway. Especially in six months when I am sure AU heats up quite a bit.
Well I'm going to be moving all the way across the country.. But I will have a full basement instead of an upstairs loft. I'm. Hoping to really get setup properly there. Glad you got it how you wanted it to be.
Good job as always, very inspiring ! These LEDs are efficient and easy to pimp a white wall, but that's also why we can see them eeeeeeverywhere. Please go wild. paint the wall green, make the light uniform, and show a green screen effect on the whole background. Could be "augmented-reality" like a virtual poster, or just a plain image for ambiance, maybe even animations... It may happen to be too much work or even technically impossible, but that's my raw naive 2cts idea ^^
I have a big pull down green screen I previously purchased. I am planning to mount it at the top of that wall so what you are suggesting is quite possible. I have no intention of doing it for every video though.
How's the echo in the room??. You can make a 3d frame for sound dampening... and put some LED at the back .. maybe? ... Ooh Congratz on your new office..🤘🏻🤘🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏼
The mic is closer to my mouth with the new mounts so I think reverb is cut. I'm still considering more stuff on the walls and some sound dispersing foam on the roof to cut it down more.
for the extra room see if you can get a handheld demolition hammer or SDS drill with a rock bit. it will be loud bit SOOO much faster then swinging that pick in that space. once the soil is broken up it will be much easier to get into buckets or a wheely bin. as for the back drop could you source some wall paper that might have a brick look or maybe some faux brick paneling?
Great video Michael!! I'm sure you're loving your new makerspace!! I would love to have that kind of room!! It was awesome meeting you in person (well sort of) on Jerry's live stream today! Thanks for making such great videos! Keep up the amazing work! 😊
Personally i like the plain white wall instead of the bricks…it makes the background look lighter. You could always greenwall it to put something else in with your video editing software. ? Audience photos? Aussie Outback scenes etc? Laurie NZ.
Looks great, maybe as a homage to the old space get brick looking wallpaper, also have a look at GridFinity gear (by Zack Freedman) to organise your space think it would work great and is 3D printed
Could you try to build a printer from all the stuff you have just lying around? I'd love to see that as kind of a challenge - even if you don't succeed it would be interesting to see how you tackle any occuring problems during the build itself! Edit: The new space looks awesome btw!
I suggest you paint the back wall a bright green...something that doesn't match anything else in the room...then you can green screen the back wall to be what ever you want... to start with it could be simple brick but in the future you would use it like a monitor showing off things in the background of your videos.
Wow the setup is already looking great, and while I rent here, some of your designs are already giving me ideas for non-invasive things I can do in my space. Thanks for sharing! Are you thinking of concreting the underfloor power tools space? Also - are you going to make sure there's a really strong door to secure the tools? Asking because power tools seem to be crook magnets, they love them some of someone else's hard won equipment. I left a cheap battery drill, just sitting on a drum, and not all that easy to spot from the road, went inside to have a cuppa and bingo - gone in less than 15 minutes. I now put my tools back in the shed and lock the door when I have smoko.
Ya need a BIG Shed mate ! Every man needs a big blokey shed 👍 The new room still looks too small ☹️ Try to get more sleep, you shouldn't be uploading at 4am 😛
Uploads are scheduled, I'm asleep when the video comes out, don't worry. I would like a big shed but what made this house attainable for us was the sloping bush block, so I don't think there's room. Digging out under the house for power tools means the garage can actually store cars that were previously out on the street.
@@TeachingTech Ahhhhh gotcha, you were VERY lucky to get a house at all in these difficult times, well done mate 👍 Thanks for responding, your channel has been a fantastic resource for me !
Hey Michael! Love the new space - how many hours have gone into moving just the maker space part of your old studio? If I had any suggestion for adding character to your new primary studio filming backdrop: add a bunch of small shelves! This would kill 2 or 3 birds with one stone - you can use the shelving as additional storage space while also functioning to display maybe some of the cooler pieces you’ve created, funny failures, rare/specialized/odd tools or machines etc (you could also add LED lighting under the shelf pointing at the wall as well!). There’s a lot of flexibility and variation in shelving, so it could do a lot towards adding character and color to the wall while also providing more storage!
Fantastic setup! In terms of replicating the wall texture, there's adhesive foam panels that looks like bricks that can be an effective replacement, particularly when lit with the RGB lights. On that note, any STL available for the downlight mounts?
Some people wanted the STLs and links to the work bench products. I have added links to the description. Thanks for all of the well wishers!
If you're looking for something to bring the backdrop to life, something like peel-and-stick faux brick tiles will recreate the look of your old space fairly inexpensively. If you're looking to keep the new space distinct, you can also get peel-and-stick wood panels, which will similarly add character to the backdrop while making it clear that you're in a new space.

@@SchwachsinnProduzent wallpaper is an option, but wallpapers lack texture, which is one of the things that made the brick wall so interesting.
@@marchingknight11 Wallpapers actually do have textures. You are usually limited to a maximum of one or two millimetres difference between high and low spots. But fake brick wallpaper looks surprisingly convincing from a distance, especially on photos.
I actually used these “dummy brick” walls on a build. You would just cut the sheet to size and peel in stick. It costed me like $50+ an easy install.
Or get some sound damping tiles and use double sided easy release tape to set them in a pattern at the back of the shot? Can't hurt acoustics, adds some texture, and packs of those ten or a dozen of them can be had for cheap online these days, comes off without damaging paint if it doesn't look right.
I recently purchased a 100w CO2 laser also, I cant believe how great it has been in helping me create storage solutions and shelving.
I've had it for a while and this is the biggest project I've done with it. Silly me. With better ply storage and more room to work I hope to use it for more projects in future.
What CO2 laser did you end up going with, if I may ask?
I'd be interested in knowing what laser it is also please.
What a happy video to watch. The new, larger space, lots of storage, dedicated resin printing space and the organisation, oh what fun see! Congratulations to you and your family on your new home!

I really like the light/dark juxtaposition of the laser cut plywood drawers.
Thanks, me too. I purposely didn't sand anything but the sides to leave this effect.
Congratulations. I understand the excitement, I am currently having a custom house built and I get my own "Man cave"
can't wait for michael digging videos
So far I've only dug up a tennis ball but who knows what lies beneath the surface?

Btw with the purple you've hit the golden spot imo. It just works so well

I built my own wooden workbench, renovated the garage, and optimized and added some new storage to it. It's a great (and cozy) work area now that is enjoyable and motivating to be in!
That seems like a lot of work, but if you break a sweat (which, as it seems you always do!), then it for sure all will look even better

Just a quick tip. Make sure your power system is up to the task if you have all of that plugged in and working it may be an issue.

Congrats man!
You've got more stuff than one person can ever hope to use more than once. As a reviewer it makes sense but as a maker you need to specialize further.
Personally i like the plain white wall instead of the bricks…it makes the background look lighter. You could always greenwall it to put something else in with your video editing software. ? Audience photos? Aussie Outback scenes etc? Laurie NZ.
No more cicada noise on the mic :)

Nice Senna hoodie!
Your wife must be an incredibly tolerant and supportive woman. Of course my wife is ,but that is not the norm.
Stackable milk crates for best space managing for part rarely used.
Could you try to build a printer from all the stuff you have just lying around? I'd love to see that as kind of a challenge - even if you don't succeed it would be interesting to see how you tackle any occuring problems during the build itself!
Edit: The new space looks awesome btw!
Looks awesome Michael! real happy for ya, I think It wont be long before you will have to move your workshop into a proper warehouse lol
The wife said a Nanoleaf would look great give you some texture on the back wall to
You could add the some GridFinity organizers to store your smaller parts in some drawers

get a big vinyl wrap or something with your teaching tech logo on it to put on the wall maybe
I have a vinyl cutter and was considering a black line art pattern based on my logo. Need to find the balance between interesting and subtle.
I need to clean out my old grow room that I don't use anymore and make a printer room

Hey Michael! Love the new space - how many hours have gone into moving just the maker space part of your old studio?
If I had any suggestion for adding character to your new primary studio filming backdrop: add a bunch of small shelves! This would kill 2 or 3 birds with one stone - you can use the shelving as additional storage space while also functioning to display maybe some of the cooler pieces you’ve created, funny failures, rare/specialized/odd tools or machines etc (you could also add LED lighting under the shelf pointing at the wall as well!). There’s a lot of flexibility and variation in shelving, so it could do a lot towards adding character and color to the wall while also providing more storage!
Fantastic setup! In terms of replicating the wall texture, there's adhesive foam panels that looks like bricks that can be an effective replacement, particularly when lit with the RGB lights. On that note, any STL available for the downlight mounts?
You could look into #gridfinifty for your drawer/worktop organization
That area you are starting to dig out is just screaming for a small milling machine and lathe !
Great looking new studio, are you going to make the stl for the spotlight brackets available for the public? They look brilliant 👍🇦🇺😊
