Your way of presenting this information is truly outstanding. I noticed that sometime even when you don't really have a use for things you still presented it with the same enthusiasm. That says a whole lot about you. Somehow you have a gift of presentation. Thank you for finding these things, most of us just don't have the extra time for this kind of thing, but it is still so valuable. And mostly thank you for the videos!
My husband has a 3-D printer and is always looking for something to help me in my wood shop. This is great. Now he has 4-5 things to make for me. Thanks.
If you are having problems with tolerances do not scale down the object. Instead, reduce the flow multiplier down to 95% ish. The reason the parts are not fitting is because of moisture in the filament causing expansion of the filament when heated. Always adjust the extrusion multiplier to accomodate for the moisture. Scaling the part down is kind of a rabbit hole. Great video as always Michael.
I agree. A lot of prints are just random stuff, but I appreciate both this videos usefulness and appropriateness(tools that would actually work if printed instead of being to weak for their purpose)
I've seen so many of these "3d printed tools you need!" videos that were garbage that I very nearly didn't watch this. But this was actually a good one. There are a few on here that I'm seriously considering printing. Thanks!
Thank you Michael! I just assembled my printer today. Watching this several months ago, I couldn't get over the ease with which such useful tools could be printed for use in my shop! I couldn't get your video out of my head, so I pulled the trigger and bought my first printer. Thank you! (I think!)
Kudos for giving visual examples for all of these, even the ones where you didn't have a great use case at the time. That's still a bunch of extra work that you didn't have to do. Thank you, and excellent quality video with lots of good information!
Came here on 10/22/2021 after seeing a shout out from Naomi 'SexyCyborg' Wu and seeing you wearing a Mighty Car Mods chopped tee shirt. I am very impressed with your style knowledge and personality. Your students are truly blessed.
I'm just getting into printing. I'm waiting for my first printer to arrive in a few days. I'm blown away with just how much useful things can be printed. Saves so much money over the long haul being able to make these little tools at home that at the box stores can cost a fair amount of money over time.
@@jacobdillon3635 I got the aquila x2. But don't waste the money on it. Get the original aquila. I've done a lot of printing since getting into it. Got my son and son in law an aquila. They love them. They work really well.
That Kant-Twist style clamp mimics the famous metal versions. That tubing cutter is ideal for square cuts on heat shrink tubing. Tube and pipe notching templates for marking saddle cuts would be exceptionally useful.
This is one of the best 3d printing videos I have seen yet. It's one of the reasons why I bought one. Excellent content. Kids learning skills would also really benefit from content like this as well. Terrific job!!!
Many thanks Michael for the featuring. Since your video, the paint cones are downloaded by numbers! I wish people are enjoying them. I'm an early follower (with my home account) of your channel which is pretty interesting everytime. Thanks again and greetings from France ;)
I love it that he doesn't just steal other people's design like another 3d printing channel I know (ejem..starts with an m and ends with an o and has a weird SZ in the middle) or just, like, say "I found this on thingiverse!!". He actually gives people credit!
Well-curated selection of tools. I expect to print some of these when I need them. Also: I was grateful to see that the prints weren't so polished and perfect that they looked like they came out of a Lego mold: the slightly tatty edges made it seem like they were prints even a noobie like me could achieve.
Another note. My husband printed me a zero clearance plate for my table saw. Also made me a set of 'seperaters' of exact thicknesses to make my jig totally adaptable to any size. Sorry, but I don't have plans.
These videos are making me want to buy a 3d printer even more. The more I watch, the more things I see I can print and use one for. I have a few ideas for projects that I have yet to see on here, but I seriously want to design and make for myself. Stuff I know I can use and others as well.
I've been subscribed a while, but first time I really paid attention. Time is short, in my life, but this has been time, well spent. I am heading out to view some of your other vids, hopefully they are of the same caliber. Thank you !!
I know this video is 3 years old but I've found a trick to make different colored lettering on horizontal surfaces. This only works for flat things where you can determine the layer of the change from flat to letters. In the slicer you find that layer and then insert a command (I forgot the term but it's there) and it will simply stop after the last layer and allow you to change filament to a contrasting color. I mad a birthday cake this way with brown cake and then black for the lettering followed by white for the candles. The candles had a small black band at the base but still looked good and much better than monochrome cake.
The Thwack plastic hammer can also be used for jewellerymaking and stuff like that. But at that point you absolutely need to print it on its side as that is quite a bit of force
Yes I agree! Soft hammers/mallets come in very handy when it comes to jewelry making, as well as many other automotive repairs as well! When you're knocking a gear into place, you dont want to smash teeth. Rubber mallets are used often, but they're typically pretty large, and this plastic design gives ability to make a mallet to fit perfect size necessary!
Great stuff to print off of a 3D printer. Oh, more stuff to misplace in the workshop, when looking for them. Can't wait to build these when I get a 3D printer. And a BIG THANKS! To all for their great idea to help hobbyists have a better workshop!
A trick you can use when printing objects that have insets to take nuts- if the nuts are shearing the plastic insert, powder some baking soda into the hole. if you want, you can put some paper at the bottom to plug the hole and contain the powder. dust up the nut a bit as well. re-insert the nut. Then take a thin-consistency superglue and apply it around the edge of the nut, making sure it absorbs into the crevices. The powder will act like a sponge and soak up the glue. Once it dries it is rock solid. I used this trick when I made a small Dremel press. Used it for inset on the gear that raises and lowers the dremel. In testing I tried to see how hard I could force it down before it broke. It didn't lol. The rods that the dremel head was riding on popped out of the base first.
Michael, GREAT job as always! Your content continues to be some of the best out there. You clearly put a ton of time in preparation, filming, editing, etc. Keep up the great work!!!
Wow! Double Wow!! This is the first video of yours I have run across. It's beautifully done and your explanations and examples are spot on. I may work my way through this entire list as every single one of these, as you pointed out, is useful. (Rang the Bell)
Never heard of a Radius being called a ' fillet ' before, but radius guages are a neat thing. Worked aerospace for 2 & 1/2 years, got good enough to grind a non critical radius within 5000ths ( just slightly bigger than a human hair) by eye. Even had to prove it to a supervisor to shut him up. He was always saying ' put a guage on it ' , I showed him my skill and he had to admit it was super in front of everyone.😁
My boss got me into this and is selling me my first printer tom. I do gotta say from the countless sites I’ve visited these last couple weeks the printing community really is extremely helpful and giving. I look forward to getting in this hobby
I printed a dremel adapter that converted the dremel into a small router with a guide for cutting the binding channel on a guitar body and headstock. I have quite a few hold down clamps made on the printer along with enclosures, t-slot nuts, zip tie mounts.... etc (to infinity)
Man, I absolutely LOVE your channel. All your videos have helped me so much with my journey into 3D printing. Thank you. Please keep up the amazing vids mate
Alot of these are interesting, like the center marker/finder, cutting tool, sanding block... but I think things like contour gauge, angle finder and hammer, are much better bought
Thank you Michael for an informative video. You would think I would look for tools that I can print instead of buying. Sometimes we need someone like you to point us in the right direction.
That tubing cutter could use some cones for expanding the hose a bit to get it over fittings without having to heat the hose with a flame or whatever. First to remix get's an internet cookie! Awesome vid list man!
thanks for taking the time to make this video, was skeptical at first but now i just have a huge list of things i want to print, looking forward to watching your other videos
You can find the centre of a circle with anything big enough with a right angle like a piece of paper, putting the right angle on the interior circumference, the crossing points of the circle and adjacent sides of the paper mark a diameter
I can't even tell you how many useable and useful parts I've printed with my machine. Car parts, cabinet latches, custom adapters and fittings, cases, replacement parts that either can't be bought or are simply too expensive to buy, etc
Handy stuff! I've spent a year making vacuum fittings so all of my tools can be attached to the same Festool vac hose. Proprietary bags and fittings no more!
I've not watched your very interesting channel before. It was a RUclips recommendation. The Thrid Item, I thought that was a very important tool to have. Please thank the inventor.
What great video, it's great to see all these collaborators sharing their designs, I 'don't have a 3D printer, but I feel maybe I should look into it, but one might be enough, I don;t want to become a hoarder.
In my 3D printer files, I have a section called "Tools"... which then has =counts, coughs= 27 folders for different categories. Some of those aren't exactly "tools"... shelving brackets, rails/slides, knobs, and similar "stuff" are also tucked there. There are still... a lot of files tucked in there. I have this habit of grabbing a bunch that look promising, then pulling them up in Cura or one of my CAD programs to figure out which one will be the best for the job.
Great list. My printer hotend is broken and a new DD is on order so I am just dreaming of getting it back up and running while I watch videos of cool items to print... Thanks for the chat...
08:40 "I found mine was a little stiff at first, but running it back & forth, took off the high spots and gave me smoother operation." Am I the only one hearing this? 😂
Very good presentation - you did your homework and showed us some practical toolage that can be custom made for our purposes. I will be printing some of these soon. Thanks!!
I would also recommend the luthier clamps if you ever plan to do any building or repairs on stringed instruments. Or if you build the Nerdy Gurdy that is on Thingiverse. Are they a bit esoteric? Sure, but clamps of any sort are more understandable as you explained early on to any "maker".
I just got through reading on Bambu's Wiki page about Humidity and Filaments.. Storing and keeping your Filament in a 20% Relative Humidity Environment seems near impossible. An average Central A/C home is in the 50-60% range... Is this just Manufactured Recommendations, and not so damn finiky? I don't hear many people complaining about it on YT.. I see the results of too much moisture and would recognize them. Strings, Holes, bubbles, weak parts, non-smooth surface, etc. It would be easy enough to test and remedy, but, WOW, that is something I didn't expect.... Keeping it in an A/C room sitting on top of the printer was my plan. Never thought plastic was hydroscopic. How much of a "REAL" problem is this?? Any Comments appreciated.. Thanks.. I am looking at either the Bambu A1 open style, or P1 Closed style due to the cooling and moisture issues. .
That first centrefinder is handy and quick but the traditional way to find the center is not measuring with a ruler😉 You simply use a marking gauge, calipers or even place your fingers against the piece as reference to mark an aproximation of the middle of the piece and then transfer that measurement to the other side and mark the point in the middle of your two marks. Thats the centre, just set wathever you used as a marking gauge to that and scribe along the piece. Even using your fingers as a gauge produces a suprisingly accurate center line.
One thing to be aware of if you print only with PLA is that it is not dimensionally stable - it shrinks over time. Tight things get loose and loose things get tight after a while.
I will be printing most of these I think, I keep meaning to print a few of these but this is a great motivation to get them done. Thank you for the great video, especially showing the devices in use!

I'm impressed. Every tool featured is actually useful. So rare for RUclips. Great video.
For internal fillets, grab a deck of cards to slide into the curve. Then measure the outside curve of the deck.
Essentially a tiny contour gauge. Smart.
Or, a stepped rod or quarter rod with known diameters.
I agree. A lot of prints are just random stuff, but I appreciate both this videos usefulness and appropriateness(tools that would actually work if printed instead of being to weak for their purpose)

The radius gauge is the best. I created one a few years back and printed it off. Saved me many tmes haha
It's the next thing I'll print, I hate estimating radii on filets!
@@MaximilianonMars you wont regret it. Tjey are the best
Pretty much anything from Marius is worth getting. Dude is a genius.
I've been 3d printing for ages but never saw a lot of these designs. Very cool. You can never have too many clamps.
I'm just getting into printing. I'm waiting for my first printer to arrive in a few days. I'm blown away with just how much useful things can be printed. Saves so much money over the long haul being able to make these little tools at home that at the box stores can cost a fair amount of money over time.
What printer did u get

as a welder/ fabricator i want to say that these are great. i legit want that centerline tool.
I must say I think Michael, has the best presentation technique of anyone on youtube.

Absolutely! This video is the one that has finally pushed my hand, that's it, I am buying a 3D printer! Whoopi!! :)
Good timing. I am visiting a handyman friend the end of this month and I plan to print and bring a few of these things as host gifts for him.
Many thanks Michael for the featuring. Since your video, the paint cones are downloaded by numbers! I wish people are enjoying them. I'm an early follower (with my home account) of your channel which is pretty interesting everytime. Thanks again and greetings from France ;)
Always nice to see one of my designs making another appearance! Thanks for including it in this video
@Marius Hornberger *Center Finder* does it. I gave away 5 as a present now. 2 new subscribers to your channel ;-)
Thank you for sharing your work!
great to see my favorite youtubers meet. i love the vacuum thing to catch drill dust, used it a lot!. i'm going to print the centerfinder too.
@Marius Hornberger when you make great stuff some day someone will notice :)
Aber wir brauchen mehr Content!
When he said your name, all I could think was... Mmmm... Burger...

I printed a smaller and a scaled up Twack. I freaking love them lol. Much bonking to be had.
All of those 3d printed tools can be very useful . I have save & shared this video . Big Thanks
Clamp, razer blade, radius guage and lockable contour gauge

OK firstly respect for your fantastic videos.
Secondly, great to see you are not only do you own a 4wd, but you use the 3d printer to modify it!!!
I've been using the fillet gauge for years. It's a must have tool if you model things.
What great video, it's great to see all these collaborators sharing their designs, I 'don't have a 3D printer, but I feel maybe I should look into it, but one might be enough, I don;t want to become a hoarder.
