that's damn impressive, I love the possibilities that this unlocks. For a smaller garage/workshop, it might be even enough to make two that are half of the depth of this one, to fi 1 row of bins instead of 2, and still have a countertop extension like you've done. Good job man, very skilled (I love 3D printing but haven't done the jump to buy one yet. This is a showcase of an actual use case that's worth buying it for)
Bought the files and only after realized just how expensive all the parts are to source. Not economically friendly if you’re thinking about building this.
That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the extruded aluminium rail. It’s a great material, but could be an expensive product. You could try adapting the design and use L profile rail instead?
It looks very nice and everything, but if you are going to be making the thre part bench and the router lift using either 30x30 or 40x40 extruded aluminium rails it's not going to be inexpensive, especially if you do not already own a suitable 3d printer, so about $65 (sale price) for the 3 patterns from your site, $400 for the cheapest of your suggested 3D printers, if you are using 30 x 30 aluminium thats about $400 (for everything to build 3 benches more for 40x40) then theres 8 castors, the mdf for tabletops and sides, plus the various Ikea boxes, angle brackets, t-nuts and filament to print all the bits. The design is not bad, but in a dusty workshop there will soon be dust everywhere
exactly right on all counts. none of this is either practical or cost effective. the only "makers" that would like this workbench and those who "make" youtube videos, not actual creators.
An amazing build. Protip for those of you who want all those 80/20 parts, but have a strong need to eat on a regular basis. All of the brackets are available as STL files on the McMaster Carr website. Unless you have a structural need for the metal brackets, the plastic version you print out will work just fine.
That's about $500 in 30x30 not including a ton of t-nuts and bolts which aren't cheap either. That build is close to $900 all in. Not worth it, even if it is novel.
@@almonster2066 The first link I found gave a price of 186 USD for all the profiles and the t-nuts/t-bolts gets it up to roughly 200 which is what I would roughly assume the cost would be, so unsure where you got the 500 figure from. Thats for one of those carts, perhaps you where thinking of all three?
I love this. I am not smart enough to make it or plan it like you did but you showed it off well. First-time viewer, subbed. Never would have thought to sand down the little metal nub on the corner holder.
I love this and it gave me some ideas for what I want from a workbench. My only suggestion is that you might want to change how you store your file. Eventually it will file through that slot as you pull it out and put it back.
Massive props…Love this system. I was thinking about building something similar, inspired by the interior equipment compartments on the fire trucks I work with. They are all based on 4040 profiles, thick phenol resin board, diamond plate stainless steel and Delrin plastics. They are extremely simple. Expensive, yes. But rock solid. Because that stuff ain’t gonna be treated gently. It has to be „grunt proof“. For home use, this build looks pretty much perfect. I would probably replace the 3D printed parts with machined Delrin where possible (I have access to a CNC mill). But the stainless steel would make this ridiculously expensive so wood is totally OK.
4:59 here you can make or print a drawer block that you can hook or place in the middle where between the drawer of each side, you can prvent from pushing the drawer at the other side out accidently, i found this idea on the ikea norden table, it use a wooden plug at the middle as a drawer stop
And wood is cheaper and easier to work with. The extruded aluminum t-slot are kind of cool but really expensive especially all the extra hardware you will need.
Have you tried putting some of the magnets on the bottom part of the carts, so you can have better distirbuition of the magnetic force and loose the little "jiggle" between the two tops? Love your work, the creativity and relentlessness are inspiring!
I love the idea! Hate to say that I was thinking of this for a while but did you watch Alex the French Guy video about building a workstation? His idea is for his kitchen but I see it being great workbench for makers! I’m so happy to see your video. I have been interested in extruded aluminum but other than joining the bars together, I never figured out how to install paneling. Thanks for answering my question!
Those alu profiles are really worthwhile for companies who want do build something fast. Like prototypes or one off builds. But they are ridiculously expensive for private persons.
There is about 28m of 3030 aluminium extrusion for this project. It's about 9$ a meter. So the extrusions are about 250 dollars. If you count the screws and bolts you can add an extra 50$. 300 dollar is not that expensive for this project. I don't think you can make a frame much cheaper out of wood that meet the structural requirement.
@@gaetanclamart5963 The manual, when I purchased it, specifies 4040, which is even more expensive. These are rough to ship, given that a useful length probably exceeds FedEx/UPS shipping preferences. I'm looking at $500 before I even get into connectors, which can cost 50%-100% of that! Reallly comes down to if one of the half-dozen companies selling it in the US is in your metro area.
Nice design but the aluminum rail stock and associated fitting are expensive. There are various manufacturers who produce extrusions from aluminum but as parents would have it, rails and fittings are not interchangeable for the most part.
I have the same question! I looked at Amazon and it was over $1000 for parts. There must be less expensive ways to purchase but I am not having much luck in web searches.
Hi amazing work bench. Would a track saw rail be possible on the sides along where the slots are on the metal frame? Which product are the metal frames from at ikea? Thanks
Looking nice, but it has 2 BUTS. 1 printed hooks- very fragile, will be broken regularly when you push bench against the wall, catch it with something like a pocket in baggy trousers. 2. How durable is that? Especially those printed connections? What if you will whack a hammer or in? What about fitting a vice and then apply significant force? Fragile thing. But looking good on RUclips
bought the plans, it requires over 11,300cm of total 4040 extrusion. unless you get this at bulk discount that alone is over 400 dollars based on quick research. i'd love to build this but that's pretty expensive.
Great design, I have build something similar myself. A table on casters just like yours but underneith is a box with sliding doord for my gear. The only thing I didn´t like about your design is how everything is in the open and get´s dusty but this might be not as important for you. For me it is because this workbench is in my office room.
Fantastic design, I am jealous I don't have the space for this but its nearly exactly like something I had envisioned of a modular workshop! Awesome just awesome, love the use of the low cost Trofast boxes and not Samla and adaptation of the Skadis pegboard. Subscribed now and going through the back catalogue. Whats the printer btw - rare to see a delta but its clearly been decked out as its super quiet. FLSUN 5?
seems like a cool set up but man the waste of hardware is crazy i even noticed you not placing all of the screws. I could not imagine what the cost to build this would be. Some where in the 5 k range+?
My thoughts as well. I applaud it as a proof of concept project. But as a retired industrial design engineer my eyes were glazing over at the probable final cost of this bench. Especially considering how square steel tubing and a bit of welding (low equipment cost and a relatively easy skill to master ) could build a very similar and sturdier result for considerably less money.
Look up at other comments. If you already have the tools, including a printer, the channel and associated parts are likely to cost you upwards of $500-600 USD plus shipping if you can't get it locally. All-in this is probably $900+ build (again not including tools like a 3D printer)
IKEA shelves system? Sorry I dont get which part is from IKEA? Are the containers from IKEA? Btw this is awesome, just like your other videos/builds, mind-blowing 😮
Yep, the colourful plastic containers are from Ikea! They’re not a huge part of the build in the end, so it might seem a bit weird to call it that way, but it was probably a huge design consideration when making the proportions and general layout of the table. Sometimes when you have an idea it can get out of hand and the end result is way different even though it’s still called the ikea bench in your head 😂
Very cool. The only thing that bothers me about modular units like this is that you need a flat floor to use it. My basement is far from flat. Any ideas how to adjust this so that you reduce the number of contact points or self leveling or something to handle an uneven floor?
Leveling each leg individually. If you look at pro grade solutions like say, the dashboard portable workshop, they all just have leveling feet on the bottom. you tap a hole in the end of your leg, and then you have a foot or caster mounted on a threaded rod that can be spun in or out to get more ground contact. This is also how many miter saw stands work (festool, for example). As far as linking 3 tables together and getting them all to plane together, you kind of don't. you could do a permanent installation like this, but for jobsite work, you REALLY try to have a single big table, as stable is achievable, level can be done with what is probably more effort than it's worth, and in plane is only in the conversation if you have VERY low standards. Things which need to be in plane are probably most practically achieved doing a dewalt DWX724 style concept: you have a single rigid beam, that your entire work area attaches to, and then you run legs from the beam down to the floor, but everything else attaches to the single large beam, NOT the floor. Not that I recommend doing it to this project. If you actually built this, you would find it wobbly (no cross bracing), expensive (heavily relies on aluminum extrusions and has a huge amount of unneeded MDF for the shelving supports ), and incredibly heavy (that looks like a half sheet of half inch MDF PER UNIT, just to have them basically function as homemade drawer slides). The storage also LOOKS modular, but there is not enough standardization to make it very practical to swap between different modules.
Overall I like the design but for a woodshop it would be better to find a way to put a lid on the slide out drawers. Those will fill with dust in no time.
Depends what the bench is for. If you do woodworking, the last thing you want is open bins or shelves. All they do is collect sawdust.
I just started dived deep into woodworking and now you present me this 3d stuff. GET OUT"!!!
that's damn impressive, I love the possibilities that this unlocks.

Do they mention where to source the aluminum rail? Thanks

How expensive are we talking about
Customization isn’t usually cheap
How about a plan and a parts list
Nice to see Rhino & Grasshopper are being used for your 3D prints.

This is so cool! The perrrrr-fect modular dream. Hmm. Nice.
Nice job, your grasshopper script needs major organization lol what a nest!
That’s ridiculous!!!! I love it!!!!
might need to try with wood instead of aluminum profile, great idea!
Yet another great video. I have some aluminum lying around from old 3d printers and I'm in need of a new bench! This came out the perfect time
You'll need more than a few bits from a printer!!
This is so amazing, i love it. These Profils are so expensive 🙈
I like it, and it's a cool design. I'll likely do a simple plywood version in the future! Modularity is the key, I'm finding.
And wood is cheaper and easier to work with. The extruded aluminum t-slot are kind of cool but really expensive especially all the extra hardware you will need.
Starts like you're assembling a giant 3D printer 😎
That's way beyond awesome
This is 8020 modular tubing that you can purchase at any hardware retailer or online.
Thank you. I knew the comments section would sort this out for me.
It is not cheap but it is very solid when using the proper hardware, it is used in industry alot.

so maybe 1000$ bench ? using node red for parametric modeling for 3d printed parts
I love this channel. But where can I put in requests for different types of tools that can be three d printed?
