@@RotarySMP It's like ABK (Always Be Knolling) fans. Every week it's a new lecture on how they found the perfect setup. I'm fine with people who like gridfinity or knolling, I'm glad it works for them, but come on
from the time when I did a bit of professional white-water raft guiding, I picked up the habit of using a bit of two unique colors of fingernail polish to put a couple of marks on all my gear in a not normally viewed location... place where a handle screws into a piece of gear, under the soul of the shoe, or maybe in the cracks of a clip... just some identifying colors that are very difficult to remove, especially if they are out of sight during normal inspection... works great for identifying gear when it walks off, but there is a small community of where it can hide. =D Happy Sunday! Long story, just so say... having a few unique colors of fingernail polish around can be helpful in certain instances... =D
If you happen to be backstage at a big music production in the Netherlands, you’ll find 3 completely pink 20ft containers, where someone is handing out equally pink tools. And there will also be a single 5ton forklift with its counterweight marker yellow, a non-unique forklift walked off by itself a few years ago…
re the nail polish; I work in electronics and its normal for manufacturers to use it for a couple of tasks. They use it on screws, usually on the screw heads, basically it's a tamper indicator but it's also very effective for a small screw "loctite" effect so stuff doesnt come loose. It is also good as a "easy breakable" glue on things like trimpots and tiny electrical adjusters. I always have some handy in the workshop in red, yellow, black etc. You can put spots of black on white connectors as an indicator, or spots of yellow on black plastic commectors. Supermarkets, pharmacies and shops in the mall often have coloured nail polish in the "bargain bins" where you can get it for $1 a bottle.
I must have spent weeks of my life in the RAF cutting out foam sheets to create tool holders for the tool kits. Not any more which is why my workshop is a bit of a mess
I have 2 floor to bench shallow drawers that are the perfect shallow depth for gridfinity. I've fitted out a couple drawers already for organising small endmills and small parts etc. Definitely has a place and totally agree some people go overboard and end up losing useful space. Before that I used a hot glue gun and some wood trim strips from the local hardware shop. Being able to rearrange, change up and relocate with gridfinity is a big bonus.
Sorry cannot give it a thumbs down only a thumbs up from me , I like content variation from my favourite video producers .I found this one very varied and interesting ,sorry. Re Ken
The problem with anything that makes your toolbox neater is that you can fit in far fewer tools. My spanner drawer is three deep... Not a problem if you have the space and the money for many toolboxes, but if you are constrained for space you don't have that option.
It's pretty crazy how much filament is wasted by printing multi-colour or with support material. Early on I bought an additional AMS thinking I would do a lot more of that but you really only need one. (yes with the needed multi ams mixing thing that goes on the back)
@@RotarySMP definitely worth trying. I've used both PVA (you will need that dryer) and their pla/petg support material. On the bambulabs software you will start to pay attention to the quantities of material consumed. Also the amount out the "poop shoot".
Depending on the age of your filament, I found yellow PLA hard to use, no matter the brand. I stopped buying that colour 5 years ago, the 3d printing world might have fixed the formulation during that time :) And as you say, PLA doesn’t improve when you let it ‘age’ in the open!
Gridfinity is overrated, just keep your stuff in old coffee cans or cardboard boxes. You can get a bit fancy and use tupperware and label them even. Alternatively, embrace the chaos :)
I do it about how he showed his toolbox - the top drawer is the catch-all and absolute chaos, but the others are like "files", "hex keys", "drill bits" etc etc. That's enough organization for me. The people that organize too much spend all their time organizing their tools instead of using them
@@RotarySMP I buy cartons of roasted peanuts. The containers are clear plastic, and roughly cubes with rounded corners. Really great for chucking stuff in when disassembling something. For larger stuff, I buy pretzels! For larger stuff I did buy a bunch of the same size of plastic containers, and built shelves to perfectly fit them. These contain stuff like cables, camera parts, parts for the 3d printer, laser cutter, etc. Everything is labelled so it cuts down the time searching for something from 30 minutes to 25 at most
My toolbox has self-closing drawers in the last few cm of travel, then the abrupt stop. Clunk! This makes everything shuffle back a bit every time I close the drawer. Rubber mats, foam, silicon mats do nothing, every few weeks I have to pull it all back to the front and smooth out the creases in the liner. So I have to invent arrangements that stack rear to front, which is not great for usability. So that's annoying. My dad's old oak chest of drawers doesn't have this problem, never needed to close itself, and the contents of the drawers stay where they're put. Anyway, thanks for the entertainment, hope you're not drowning over there.
I'll do one better - thumbs down 3 times! Now that you have a multi material printer, you can embed the labels on storage containers in the print job in a different colour.
It's great that you're using your 3D printer wisely! It's usually faster, more stable and more practical to grab some wood and make it yourself quickly. Unfortunately, RUclips is full of lots of pointless prints. Of course, not everyone has access to machines or the ability to work with wood, so 3D printers are a great solution. Now I feel guilty for having watched you tidying up. I feel compelled to tidy up a bit myself. 😫
I have 3 map drawers stacked on top of each other. Take 90% of my tooling and I leave all my mics and stuff in their boxes. 3d printes some holders for collets and stuff but 90% of it's overkill to justify a hobby. And I'm not judging, my day jobs spreadsheets. I don't need 50k of tools
Yeah, I am not going to waste drawer space gridfiniting (verb?) tools which are robust and barely move around like spanners, and screw drivers. Kind of cool for specific things though :)
Afternoon, Mark. Great start to my Sunday morning. Now I should go dig out my 3D printer and stuff the PLA spools in the large electric food/fruit desiccant I bought just for that!
You need a laser for your workshop. A laser like this is an ideal addition to a 3D printer. With the laser you could have marked the holes or even cut them out (but I prefer marking) and engraved the numbers into the wood. It's almost Christmas. 🎅🏻
I think you are holding out on us Mark, those numbers stamped on are way too neat! They would be a total mes if left to me, no two on the same line, all at different angles, and no way I could do two digit numbers, must be your secret power for sure!
I was surprised how well they went. I think the key was not to over think it and just go for it. I think one of the double numbers (10?) was pretty bad, but otherwise it went okay.
In my own experience, it's so rare to buy something that fails it's surprising when it happens. Good to see that Bambu is so responsive , hope that includes non-youtubers without company contacts. salesmen get you through the door but service is what keeps customers (says the former service guy😉)
Sadly AMS isn't really nice for multi material. As it needs tons of purging. I do consider getting a Prusa XL just because of that. But i dunno now price wise it's a bit of a thing.
Couldn't bring myself to click the 'thumbs down' button, so I guess I messed up the lame video detection algorithm. Not only that, I've also been gridfinity-ing my way through the workshop and I'm determined to use it where there's really a better solution just so everything matches :-) How nerdy am I? - Heather PS: just helped my brother pickup a neglected second-hand lathe.

Glad I could help
Hmm, for some reason I assumed the AMS box itself might be a dryer as well
I am kind of surprised it isn't. There are people who mod it to add a heater and fan.

Hi Luke, yeah it’s not the only solution.
