Yes I'm wearing the same T-Shirt as I was in last week's @TechDif video. No i didn't do this on purpose, they were filmed over six months apart! Click on the description for links to Morley. As always, the description is jam-packed with links to stuff I talked about and the music used in the video!
To clarify what I meant: "I don't know what 3/4 of an inch is in metric, but that measurement is 16mm". Two "that"s in one sentence does not good communication make.
@@OlliWilkman I said mil to someone non-technical once and they looked at me funny and said "mills?" "milliliters?" and I had to tell it to them in centimeters in the end 😆
I also wanted to mention that people without printers might want to check their local library. For example, the County Libraries in my area (Central Florida) offer reasonably priced 3D printing services for residents.
Even if the library doesn’t offer 3D printing all the time, it may still offer it occasionally. The library where I work (in northern Norway) occasionally gets to borrow a couple of 3D printers from the county library for some weeks at a time.
While I don't think the local library where I am has it there is a local FabLab anyone can go to to 3D print, CNC etc. things for reasonable prices. There's a bunch of them all around the world.
We don't have that. Yet. Maybe I'll get involved with the local community centre. They have a repair cafe, but no 3d printer... (and this is the excuse for me to get one)
I would instead recommend a 0.4mm chamfer over a fillet. 3D printers struggle with rounded things, and you get better results with chamfers laying on the bed.
Absolutely! Fillets on top, chamfers on the bottom! You can even do a chamfer, then fillet the upper corner of the fillet for a more symmetrical look. Oh, and, they do rounded corners perfectly well, it's just the overhang the fillet makes that's difficult.
@@bjrn-oskarrnning2740 Yes! Chamfer with angle matching the best overhang the printer can print, then fillet the top edge. Surface quality is great and often the design will be just as good as when using a normal chamfer.
I love that you included that one doesn't always need a 3D printer, I feel like some people with 3D printers do the "when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail" thing but with plastic and it's kinda sad to see people overengineer their puny plastic parts that will probably hold for a year tops because their print layers are alined to the wrong axis and that could've just been off the shelf parts from the hardware or craft store 🙈
I wonder how many companies still support repair? Planned obsolescence was already a thing in the 80s, but a decade later a friend wrote to a company asking for schematics for his hifi so he could repair it, and they sent them. Some companies supported repair, some didn't.
For me, the most satisfying about owning a 3d printer is being able to do little repairs like these. Some people break it down to “money saved” but I am with you guys, it’s more about stopping things from having to be thrown away.
Pro tip on measuring the distance between two holes or pins (of the same size) since it's hard to accurately measure from center to center if you try to put the jaws in the center of the holes or pins. Instead you measure the diameter of one of them and zero the caliper without moving it. Then measure the outside to outside and that distance will be the center to center distance of the holes or pins.
That's a really cool initiative! I'm a self-taught Fusion 360 user as well, I must start using the construction lines- it looks way more convenient compared to sketching everything with regular ones and cleaning sketches afterwards
This is great, Matt! I love fixing things, especially when using expensive old consoles and equipment for making music - I'm modding and repairing stuff very often :) Such a good idea to set up a repair shop 👌🏻
When it comes to repairing things one of the best skills you can leanr is how to sow. I'm not good or fast, by any stretch, but I was able to repair a hole in some joggers that would have been destined for the bin otherwise.
"Engineer-grade sewing" is definitely worth learning. Not necessarily beautiful or invisible-perfect repairs, but good enough. I picked up some needle-felting supplies and fixed holes in a couple of my husband's moth-eaten wool jumpers last year - the colour matching isn't perfect but far better than having holes. I also have a sewing awl for heavy-duty stuff with 1-inch nylon webbing - putting straps on bike pannier bags that didn't have them, stuff like that.
6:54, what you could have done is 3d print a bushing for the bolts the metal piece would have better durability. a 3d print is none archival, time can cause it to warp, and UV light can damage it over time, the last thing you want is the woman's bike falling apart while she is in the middle of town. it's a good engineering lesson to not rely on 3d printing. it's gotten far better than it used to be but it still has some pretty fixed limitations
@@RedmarKerkhof How would you protect the thread as you hammered? And what's the name for the rubber strip that you'd put inside to prevent it sliding? I remember now that you can buy U-shaped clamps in all sorts of sizes. I don't know why Matt went for the threaded eye.
I just got done replacing my old laptops battery instead of just getting rid of the laptop. iFixit is a great source for electronics repairs, and I was able to order the battery + tool kit together and it's an incredible set of bits and spudgers and guitarpick thingies.
Matt, there's something to be said about kitbanging random things together. The hardest part can just be discovering the right words to describe what you're looking for! I was trying to find a clamp to hold my thermal camera recently, and wanted one similar to those vice-style clamps for mounting phones on tripods. It took about two or three weeks, but I eventually found it in the form of a "gimbal counterweight clamp." Works perfectly, but I still can't believe it took that long to find.
I do remember in robotics class one of the teachers saying the digital caliper is one of the most important tools. Also, this entire premise reminds me of South Korean RUclipsr Sanago, he both builds art projects and repairs things with a 3D pen instead of printer...so, he is the printer.
The number one thing to learn for folks with 3D printers is you don’t need to print your way out of every problem. Sometimes it’s just not practical, but when the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
The fastener that connected the strap on my handbag to the bag decided to give up a few months ago and I just fixed it with heavy duty zip ties, still holding up.
I'm in a similar situation. They don't build things like they used to.. my refrigerator doesn't have any microchips in it. It works by having a thermostat open a damper into the freezer compartment, and turn on a fan. I can't get parts anymore, and a "repair man" just swaps parts. I want to find someone who can repair, rebuild, or retrofit this simple mechanism and keep an entire fridge out of the landfill.
If it's using a bi-metalic strip for the thermostat (i believe most analogue thermostats do), that'll probably be quite difficult to recreate those parts yourself, but with a little ingenuity and an Arduino I bet you could convert the system to run electronically instead of mechanically.
It looked like that metal trailer part that Matt wasn't sure about using had a flat face. So an an option might have been to get a hose saddle around 16mm in size, drill a couple of holes to match the saddle and bolted through the saddle to clamp the metal trailer part to the frame.
Nice. I got my own 3d printer this year, since I found one for cheap. Though you do not need your own 3d printer most of the time, if you have a library or university in walking distance, chances are they will let you use one of theirs. I haven't printed "big" yet sadly, my repair work wasn't as robust as was needed. Though I had fun designing a 2-way mason jar lid.
I would also recommend looking up a video about fixing plastic parts with superglue and baking soda. :) Very useful for repairing broken off bits of plastic.
This might be a whole thing on its own but there are 2 barriers that I've identified in making and repairing. One is "permission" which is about using your own time and locations and the actions you take. The other is cost, which comes down to what money and resources you spend (potentially waste), and I think thats one that people can really feel in these times. Not to speak for others but when Simone Yertz made truckla, I spotted both of these. Simone is well past needing permission (immediately starts cutting at a Tesla with no problem) but the cost of buying truckla was notable (obviously overcomable for Simone but noted in the Truckla video when she buys it from the Tesla store).
How stable would such a piece for the bike trailer be? My bike trailer is completely out of metal (except the wheels, of course), including the clamp for the bike. It is probably decades old and has endured quite a lot over that time, including multiple full or partial crashes, but everything still works perfectly. I doubt that plastic works as good in this case, but I have no experience with 3D printing.
Please tell Geoffrey, my friend Brian Butterfield has a detective agency and can help with his predicament. He also has a number of other businesses that can help, although he doesn't have a CAD business unfortunately.
Reiterating don't bother 3D printing a custom part when the same already exists and can easily and cheaply be bought online, or at your local hardware store ... if it exists then it will most likely be better, and easier to replace ... ...but sometimes the part simply does not exist ..
I like your video with Morley. I am curious why you don't design parametrically by labeling and entering in the dimensions. If you have to make changes it is loads faster to just change the parameters.
If you're just doing a one-off design that's only destined for 3d-printing to scratch a specific itch, creating the parameters themselves is a bunch of initial setup - if you only need to go back once to make changes, you might not save as much time in changing as you spent in setting up Actual Parameters. They make total sense if you know you want your design to be flexible in the future to make size-variations on the same basic construction, but personally I don't bother because I prefer the "visual thinking" approach of going back to the relevant sketch without having to set up Parameters and then remember which one does what. It probably boils down to "hobby 'maker' doing one-off quick creations" versus a more professional engineering / product-design mindset.
@@MattFowlerBTR I'm a hobbyist but I have a whole bunch of parameters saved, like screw hole diameters, chamfers, thickness of the plastic, Wall thickness, Base thickness, etc... Then when I start a new project I copy and paste those parameters into a new project. And instead of entering in numbers for extrusion etc... I just type in "wall thickness", screw dia... Then when I have to inevitable tweak numbers I go into the parameter list and enter in the #. It effects everything in the model. So when you were changing the position of the screw holes, I would have changed screw hole distance to 5.4 instead of. 5 by just typing in one box rather than having to repeat move 3 more times. I try to limit repetitive tasks, because that is usually when I make mistakes and then I can't figure out why my drawing is not constrained, LOL.
I've never 3D printed anything in my life, even though it should be right up my alley. My issue is that I don't trust the strength of the plastic. Perhaps it's better now than 12-13 years ago when I first held a few 3D-printed items, but those were very brittle. I could snap them with very little force, and that put me off the whole thing.
It's way better now! There's a ton of different plastics available and new ways of printing to increase strength. Of course there's still limits but you can do a lot with it.
Great video! Do you have any recommendations of 3D printing services? I've done quick searches with a couple of STL files, but I'm never sure if they're a reputable service or not.
Was everything ok with the camera at the start of the video? rest of the footage looks fine but some weird wobbling right at the start made me feel a bit queezy
