Indeed, I wasn't sure why I (not someone who 3-d prints much) was shown this by the algorithm, but found the second half really inspiring, as a tale of expanding one's mind.
Did this with a number of paintball parts (hopper/magfed adapters). I put a curved internal channel through the middle of a design for a large ziptie to go straight through to secure the part to the marker. Turned out to be very strong and I avoided having to do something like weld nuts onto the marker body.
I like the idea of a glued in pin that is perpendicular to the layering with a hollow around it to maximize strength. This could probably be done in some clever way where the pin is captured at one point in the print, then reoriented and glued later, producing something like looks impossible.
I have something with some semblance of that last design, though the cord didn't slide through it nearly as easily because the back seems like it's a right angle corner with very little curvature..
This gets me thinking about designing food safe parts (something I find myself thinking about frequently). I know the general consensus for FDM printing of food safe parts is to coat them in food safe epoxy because that is the only way to prevent bacteria build up in the micro-cracks of the part, but I don't see that scaling well for large production volumes. Do you all have an approach for printing food safe parts?
The imbedded connectors need a thicker base and wall for it to work properly. So more material and print time added to the part is the end result with that design.
Nice examples of value-added design with zero added production cost. Awesome video, that's a great inspiration for open-minded design.
Glad you liked it!
The second half of this video is especially useful. Thanks!
Glad to hear that!

Your videos should be mandatory for designers and engieeers in university.
Thank you so much
I love these design for mass production episodes.
Thanks for watching. They seem to be pretty popular. We have a lot more in the can

Your videos are full of great design ideas 💡 very inspiring
Glad you like them!
always informative and practical ...Thanks!
Nice one! Thanks for sharing your tips with the community!
another problem with the first option is that the stringing can cover the actual hole and make the fix up longer

Thank you for sharing your very insightful knowledge with us!
Can you make an episode about thread cap making?
It is in the works. But it is kind of boring since it is mainly about tolerances more than design
@@slant3dThere's interesting design stuff related to overhang angle of thread faces, etc.
Just found your channel, and Im learning so much
Thanks for watching
hah! Was wondering what that product so often is in your B-roll .... well now i know :D
Super useful design tips!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you. Clear information that I can work with. You have another follower ;-)
Clever design👍
Thanks!
Glad you like it!

I literally figured this out 2 days ago and did it
Very nice video, thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching
Truly great content!
Appreciate that. Thanks so much

Thanks u so much for usefull idea.
Thanks for watching
I wonder if you could create a generative design tool which uses topology to find ideal locations for given use cases
So what about the Super Soaker?
?
With the flush loop in the center of the lid, you can only print that lid upside down, I think.
Nah. You can print it both orientations.
@@slant3d Cool 👍👍
What type of design software do you use? And since I’m guessing it’s very expensive what’s your next best price point suggestion if you have one
He is using Autodesk Fusion 360
Autodesk Fusion 360 is free

not necessarily.
hello sir, I have some queries regarding 3d printing, how I can connect with you. I have only 2 days to handover my project.
Huh. What tool in fusion did he use to make that hole?
Probably just extruded and removed the area, there’s also the hole function
