A response to the beginning: As an owner of a 3D printer, accept for the electronics, you can 3D print most of a 3D printer. Many 3D printers are made up of certain structural parts that are 3D printed.
Any company that is 3d printing production parts for mass sales has the "Only tool is a hammer" issue as it would be much faster to once you know the part simply print out a master mold to make silicone molds for resin casting.
As a lawyer this has made me so angry. Side note: the lawyer who advised him and the head office person who lied about value are exactly the people who Jigsaw would kidnap and torture to teach a lesson.

People like that CANNOT be taught decency or basic fucking humanity, and just need to be erased from our species. I like your idea, though. Just needs to go one step further.
The big worth was in the patent, they were probably scared that a judge would find the agreement null and void, in which Roberts could have licenced it out.
$8 million doesn't seem nearly enough for what Sears did. They should have been required to turn over all profits made from sales of the wrench with interest added, as well as punitive damages for the theft and subsequent lies, and all the guy's legal costs. Once the civil matters have been dealt with, the courts can start looking into criminal charges for perjury. His original lawyer should have been disbarred.

We already have a toaster that will toast perfectly every time: The Sunbeam Radiant Control came out decades ago, but was discontinued in favour of cruddy timers.
The Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster has fairly small bread slots, so it probably won't fit Karl's crumpets. What we really need is a modernization of the Radiant Control toaster with adjustable bread guides and a bagel mode.
I've had my house electrical breaker trip a few times due to crumpets making contact with the element. Entire house goes dark. Hot Cross buns are a nightmare too (although they can be grilled)
Not quite. Digestives falling in tea with no way to stop the bottom of your tea being filled with soaked biscuit dust. That's probably the most British problem ever. This is why I dip Hobnobs into coffee instead of digestives into tea. Digestives are just begging to disappoint upon dip. Whereas you can drop your entire Hobnob into your cuppa, run to get a spoon to fish it back out and it still be pretty much completely intact after being in the coffee for a full 2 minutes. Not only that, but you can actually fish the damn thing back out without the spoon causing immediate disintegration of the biscuit.

He told me it showed I used my associate discount when buying something and I paid with a corporate gift card. He then accused me of stealing gift cards for myself and asked how I got it to show as corporate. I was fairly confused because I rarely had gift cards at that time and was trying to figure why I had it.

To get the string back in, put a safety pin on the end, and thread it pushing the pin along the waistband. Makes it loads easier than trying to just push the string.
As a kid I had one of the most brilliant idea ever for a class project. So in sixth grade (from canada, was 11) our teacher asked us to invent something or an upgrade to something that existed. So I searched my whole house in order to find something interesting and as I was making myself a pbj sandwich I was strucked by a genius idea. I just got my hands covered in peanut butter by trying to get what was left in the bottom and I was disgusted and that's when I immewdiately tought "Wouldn't that be great if saomeone invented peanut butter in slice just like kraft cheese slice" and my dad just looked at me and went "Son! That's it! There's your presentation! And then I spent the whole week-end with my dad writing down the perfect speech and it went something like this "Hey you! Yes, you! Aren't you tired of getting yourself covered in peanut butter or getting bread crumbs everywhere in your kitchen? Well search no more for this existential problem! Here's a revolutionary invention, sliced peanut butter! It's just like sliced cheese but it's peanut butter! You just have to open the packet, slap it on your slice of bread and there you go!" I got a 100% and had to present it to our principal since everyone flipped shit about how wonderful the idea was. We need soemthing like it. And sliced jam. Go on, steal my idea I don,t fucking care, I want my sliced peanut butter even 14 years later.
When I worked for Sears I noticed that they would have a "selection" of the same type of item, usually 3-4 "economic" options for 1 quality expensive item. Looking back at the old catalogs was an eye opener to how profit margins became the sole focus of the company. Also craftsman tools was an "exclusive" seller to Sears that had a sharp decline in quality.
It is always very frustrating when a large company spends more on lawyers to prove that they can rip someone off than it would be to just pay the person they've ripped off.
Toaster oven is superior for all those reasons, toasts break, toasts crumpets, you can use it for pizza bagels, or reheating anything that fits inside it
My dad bought a stationary bike from Sears that was missing parts and they refused to get new parts or refund his money. I guess Sears has a long history of screwing over people.
“3D printer that prints, 3D printers” yeah, that’s been a thing. For years. They have printers that print houses, they used the original concrete printer to print a second, and so on to help with a major disaster back around 2016ish not long after 3D printers took off. They had plastic/metal printers that printed the parts to replicate its self maybe a year or two before that. Wasn’t advanced enough to put all the pieces together upon printing, but it was capable of laying the internal wiring. I’m not sure if the concrete printer assembled it’s replicate itself or if it had to be assembled. Did a tech news report for my vocational school in high school, was pretty awesome to hear where the innovations had led disaster relief efforts.
An all purpose toasting, pan cooking, chip cooking, pizza reheater, etc. Is your humble sandwich maker. Literally a portable, electric powered, double sided pan with an easy open and a light to tell you when it's hot. Genius
about toasting, here in the states we have a thing called a toaster oven. and hey if you don't like the devices you can always go the old school route bread on a stick over a fire.
thing is that there are smoothie makers and reusable bottles that are easily cleaned and don't stink up after a while, but they're made of glass which drives up their cost.
You need to watch the "How to design an actually good toaster with lessons from the 1940's" video by Technology Connections, there is a toaster from 40's that can toast anything
For the smoothy problem. Some blenders will fit a standard mason jar ( for the screw on part with the blades). The glass is easier to clean and lids are easy to find as well.
Fun fact: 3D printers have been around since about the 80's. Its only in the last 20 years where commercial, consumer grade printers became prominent, this was a largely due to the RepRap project which enabled users to build printers capable of producing parts for themselves and other printers included in the program. Joseph Prusa was one of the guys behind the project and now, his company Prusa research basically mass produces 3D printers for sale using a fleet of his own production stock.
Speaking of Sears they have a ton of amazing stories. Going back to the old catalogue days, Richard Sears made the Sears catalogue smaller than the Montgomery Ward one. That was so when people in rural areas put them out on the coffee table, they would also stack the Sears catalogue on top. Oh and the time they gave a struggling Kmart Holdings money, and Kmart took that money and freaking bought Sears with the money Sears just gave them.
okay so idk if anyone has said this yet, but a lot of nutribullets/blenders can be cleaned pretty thourouly by putting water and a teeny bit of washing up loquid in them and turning them on, then rinsing in water. Also to fix your joggers, tie one end of the cord to a safety pin/paperclip or similar and you should be able to feed it through with relative ease, though it might take some time :)
Carl just toast the bread for one minute or more and once it's done just pop it back in upsidedown, and then toast it again for however long you want. I normally do 1 min then rotate onto the side and do another min and do this process untill it has done a full rotation. Total time is about 5 minutes if you have everything really the night before. As you go about the house you can pop it back in and to the rotation thing, while you get ready to leave.
At the end, when they are talking about why things haven't been fixed, it was explained by my economics teacher in high school. The team is called Planned Obsolescence, wherein we currently have the technology to make a stapler that will literally last forever outside of being used improperly or outright abused, however, that stapler would only be sold once. Whereas if you design a stapler to eventually break and fall apart every few years, people will always have to buy a replacement thus generating a constant flow of money under the idea of "well these things happen."
Our editor designed a wireless device charger for both cellphones and for hanging tv's when he was 19. Nobody would fund him getting a patent because it was "absurd". 8 years later it was patented and now it is definitely not absurd.
easy trick to get your drawstring back in ur joggers: clip a safety-pin to one end of the string and feed it through. The metal makes it easy to find the loose end through the fabric and keep sliding it until you get it back out the other side.
My grandma love the new airfyrer I got her for Christmas. Makes good pork chops and fish without having to heat up the kitchen with the oven or go out to the grill.
Had an idea for a cigarette case that could be a lighter ashtray and have a clip to hang from freeing pocket space It didn't go though for several reasons (mostly personal) There's also the issue that cigarettes and cigars are a limited market with the health issues related to them so products that caters to people who buys them can be viewed negatively

In regards to the smoothie problem. A good old fashioned oyster blender the base has the same threading as a standard mason jar you can put everything you want for your smoothie in a mason jar screw on the base with the blade inside the jar make your smoothie and go about your day. The advantage of the Mason jar is that it can be sterilized with boiling water or a dishwasher. You can order special mason jars with lids and straws and even handles.
About the pants string. You tie one end on something solid (i.e. pencil) And put that item on one side of the hole and can use the solid item to drag the string through to the other hole.
I believe this isn't the first time Sears stole a wrench design. Another design was an auto-adjusting through-hole wrench. Edit: it's called the bionic wrench, sears stopped selling the product and outsourced manufacturing to china, the product being under the name of "Craftsman"
Sears, and other companies, engage in what they can "efficient infringement". Basically, they ID a product they think will be profitable with a business they think can't afford the cost of defending it. Then they steal the product.
I had the idea 10 years ago to put led lights in a hoodie, and everyone called my crazy. When alot of people are calling your invention crazy, that's when you KNOW it's a good idea!
If you have any safety pins big enough, attach one end of the jogging bottoms tie, then feed it through. I do the same thing whenever I make/re-work clothes.
I worked for Sears for years, as a backroom and sales floor employee, and in the orientation/training video it claimed all ideas from employees in regards to products were property of Sears because while working there anything you came up with was conflict of interest with Sears itself, even if you work on your idea outside of work.
i think the most useful invention or modification i can think of, is give most electronics that need to be plugged in, a battery pack for when the power goes out, when you need light, it would be so much easier to just be able to turn on your floor lamp still, instead of needing to use a flashlight for everything

I just got my hands covered in peanut butter by trying to get what was left in the bottom and I was disgusted and that's when I immewdiately tought "Wouldn't that be great if saomeone invented peanut butter in slice just like kraft cheese slice" and my dad just looked at me and went "Son! That's it! There's your presentation!
And then I spent the whole week-end with my dad writing down the perfect speech and it went something like this "Hey you! Yes, you! Aren't you tired of getting yourself covered in peanut butter or getting bread crumbs everywhere in your kitchen? Well search no more for this existential problem! Here's a revolutionary invention, sliced peanut butter! It's just like sliced cheese but it's peanut butter! You just have to open the packet, slap it on your slice of bread and there you go!"
I got a 100% and had to present it to our principal since everyone flipped shit about how wonderful the idea was. We need soemthing like it. And sliced jam. Go on, steal my idea I don,t fucking care, I want my sliced peanut butter even 14 years later.
Someone needs to invent the 3 seashells
🤣🤣🤣🤣 DPSFSU doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells, can you believe it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😭
When I worked for Sears I noticed that they would have a "selection" of the same type of item, usually 3-4 "economic" options for 1 quality expensive item. Looking back at the old catalogs was an eye opener to how profit margins became the sole focus of the company. Also craftsman tools was an "exclusive" seller to Sears that had a sharp decline in quality.
That lawyer should be disbarred for that. That isn't working in the interest of his client.
I've always wondered if clap activated lights turn into a rave if ur watching something with a clapping audience
I can imagine the lawyer in the clouds, lion king style. Telling his son to continue the trial.
They fight so hard so it doesn't set a precedent that will hurt them from other cases they or other corporations are or will be involved in.
It is always very frustrating when a large company spends more on lawyers to prove that they can rip someone off than it would be to just pay the person they've ripped off.
Toaster oven is superior for all those reasons, toasts break, toasts crumpets, you can use it for pizza bagels, or reheating anything that fits inside it
My dad bought a stationary bike from Sears that was missing parts and they refused to get new parts or refund his money. I guess Sears has a long history of screwing over people.
Father :dies
Son: I will finish what you started!
Whinging about crumpets is one of the most painfully British moments of the show.
“3D printer that prints, 3D printers” yeah, that’s been a thing. For years. They have printers that print houses, they used the original concrete printer to print a second, and so on to help with a major disaster back around 2016ish not long after 3D printers took off. They had plastic/metal printers that printed the parts to replicate its self maybe a year or two before that. Wasn’t advanced enough to put all the pieces together upon printing, but it was capable of laying the internal wiring. I’m not sure if the concrete printer assembled it’s replicate itself or if it had to be assembled. Did a tech news report for my vocational school in high school, was pretty awesome to hear where the innovations had led disaster relief efforts.
An all purpose toasting, pan cooking, chip cooking, pizza reheater, etc.
Is your humble sandwich maker. Literally a portable, electric powered, double sided pan with an easy open and a light to tell you when it's hot. Genius
Lawyer dies*
His son: Fine I’ll do it myself
about toasting, here in the states we have a thing called a toaster oven. and hey if you don't like the devices you can always go the old school route bread on a stick over a fire.
i was rewatching old fact fiend videos and this popped up! neat!
You can get the drawstring back in by fixing it to something solid - I favour a big safety pin - and feeding through that through.
Technically a printer that prints “printers” already exists. Look up “Prusa mk3” they use their printers to print parts for more of the same printer
Bro your channel fr the best, I appreciate the way you stay true to you instead of confirming like all other content creators
Just dropping by to say, "toaster oven".
thing is that there are smoothie makers and reusable bottles that are easily cleaned and don't stink up after a while, but they're made of glass which drives up their cost.
You need to watch the "How to design an actually good toaster with lessons from the 1940's" video by Technology Connections, there is a toaster from 40's that can toast anything
Holy shit props to the editor for that SEAMLESS cut at 0:42
9:08 makes me wish this story was turned into an anime
Makes me feel better that Sears went so hard out of business in my city's mall XD
Sears stole the bionic wrench recently
I haven't thought of Sears in years
Into: playing
Me: literally sitting here fixing my 3d printers: yeah, they are pretty cool
There's this device like kinda a grill/toaster combo and does everything to satisfy your toast/crumpet needs
Im literally crying from this wrench story
For the smoothy problem. Some blenders will fit a standard mason jar ( for the screw on part with the blades). The glass is easier to clean and lids are easy to find as well.
Karl's shirt is pretty damn awesome...
"Sorry for anyone with a echo".. then proceeds to say alexa like 20 times.
The perfect toaster was invented in the sixties, there is a video on technology connections on it,
Fun fact: 3D printers have been around since about the 80's. Its only in the last 20 years where commercial, consumer grade printers became prominent, this was a largely due to the RepRap project which enabled users to build printers capable of producing parts for themselves and other printers included in the program. Joseph Prusa was one of the guys behind the project and now, his company Prusa research basically mass produces 3D printers for sale using a fleet of his own production stock.
Speaking of Sears they have a ton of amazing stories. Going back to the old catalogue days, Richard Sears made the Sears catalogue smaller than the Montgomery Ward one. That was so when people in rural areas put them out on the coffee table, they would also stack the Sears catalogue on top.
Oh and the time they gave a struggling Kmart Holdings money, and Kmart took that money and freaking bought Sears with the money Sears just gave them.
okay so idk if anyone has said this yet, but a lot of nutribullets/blenders can be cleaned pretty thourouly by putting water and a teeny bit of washing up loquid in them and turning them on, then rinsing in water. Also to fix your joggers, tie one end of the cord to a safety pin/paperclip or similar and you should be able to feed it through with relative ease, though it might take some time :)
Wait a second... you don’t unplug your toaster when you stick something metal in it to get something out
Why ruin the fun?
Like he said, he enjoys a game of operation
Carl just toast the bread for one minute or more and once it's done just pop it back in upsidedown, and then toast it again for however long you want.
I normally do 1 min then rotate onto the side and do another min and do this process untill it has done a full rotation. Total time is about 5 minutes if you have everything really the night before.
As you go about the house you can pop it back in and to the rotation thing, while you get ready to leave.
There is already a 3D printer printing houses WTF
At the end, when they are talking about why things haven't been fixed, it was explained by my economics teacher in high school. The team is called Planned Obsolescence, wherein we currently have the technology to make a stapler that will literally last forever outside of being used improperly or outright abused, however, that stapler would only be sold once. Whereas if you design a stapler to eventually break and fall apart every few years, people will always have to buy a replacement thus generating a constant flow of money under the idea of "well these things happen."
Ummm unplug the tester might relieve some of the death from your food preparations lol
Toasters have capacitors they can still kill you unplugged (i think that is the electrical jargon term that is the part im thinking of)
@@Shinobi-tp3yq idk the inner workings of tosters but I'll keep that in mind next time I go digging around it one lol
Our editor designed a wireless device charger for both cellphones and for hanging tv's when he was 19.
Nobody would fund him getting a patent because it was "absurd". 8 years later it was patented and now it is definitely not absurd.
I've never heard of Sears before but I officially hate them now
Huge department store franchise in the u.s
They were great in many ways but corporate greed ruined them
"I will finish what you started!"
Sears
Pro tip for fishing toast and crumpets out of a toaster. Use a plastic fork
Or a wooden disposable chopstick. And probably unplug the toaster before trying it.
Everybody's always under looking the most important invention the toilet
easy trick to get your drawstring back in ur joggers: clip a safety-pin to one end of the string and feed it through. The metal makes it easy to find the loose end through the fabric and keep sliding it until you get it back out the other side.
Hey carl if you want I have a special tool that restrings hoodies and joggers
Thats just some wire, yo.
@@hippiehippo9030 no
it's a specialized tool
@@PotatoLover112 I mean that you can use just some wire to do it.
Protip for getting stuff out a toaster: use chopsticks. They're wooden, so risk of electrocution is practically negligible.
Or simply unplug the toaster.
My grandma love the new airfyrer I got her for Christmas. Makes good pork chops and fish without having to heat up the kitchen with the oven or go out to the grill.
You ever gonna do another familiar faces video
@@johngayden7488 trying to right now.
Had an idea for a cigarette case that could be a lighter ashtray and have a clip to hang from freeing pocket space
It didn't go though for several reasons (mostly personal)
There's also the issue that cigarettes and cigars are a limited market with the health issues related to them so products that caters to people who buys them can be viewed negatively
3D printers printing other 3D printers look up mulbot on RUclips
"I'm still waiting for the first person to make a 3d printer that makes other 3d printers, then is game over!" uhm... geting Dr. Stone's Byakuya deja vu over here! xD
I’m here but I’m not funny
me too don't worry
we know. ;-)
On the other hand: I am really funny. Almost hilarious. Just let you all know. Have a nice day.
Statistically speaking, someone thinks you're a riot to hang out with
@@eddieramirez8292 appreciate it
The drawstring is an easy fix, just sow it in at the back.
2d printer that prints a 1d printer
so a square that prints a line
@@iotaplays - No, a square and a line are both 2d. 1dimension is just a theoretical concept.
In regards to the smoothie problem. A good old fashioned oyster blender the base has the same threading as a standard mason jar you can put everything you want for your smoothie in a mason jar screw on the base with the blade inside the jar make your smoothie and go about your day. The advantage of the Mason jar is that it can be sterilized with boiling water or a dishwasher. You can order special mason jars with lids and straws and even handles.
Wrench
About the pants string. You tie one end on something solid (i.e. pencil) And put that item on one side of the hole and can use the solid item to drag the string through to the other hole.
I believe this isn't the first time Sears stole a wrench design. Another design was an auto-adjusting through-hole wrench.
Edit: it's called the bionic wrench, sears stopped selling the product and outsourced manufacturing to china, the product being under the name of "Craftsman"
Sears, and other companies, engage in what they can "efficient infringement". Basically, they ID a product they think will be profitable with a business they think can't afford the cost of defending it. Then they steal the product.
I had the idea 10 years ago to put led lights in a hoodie, and everyone called my crazy. When alot of people are calling your invention crazy, that's when you KNOW it's a good idea!
It's much less frustrating when you realize that Sears literally drove themselves out of business fighting this kind of fight over and over.
The toaster oven is exactly the device that fixes your toaster problems. Just flip the bread over halfway through
10:42 you're thinking of a toaster oven, its already been invented.
If you have any safety pins big enough, attach one end of the jogging bottoms tie, then feed it through. I do the same thing whenever I make/re-work clothes.
The phone glass thing is a marketing angle. Keeps people coming back for repairs
This has been one of the most inderhanded stories I've heard XD and im at the start XD
I worked for Sears for years, as a backroom and sales floor employee, and in the orientation/training video it claimed all ideas from employees in regards to products were property of Sears because while working there anything you came up with was conflict of interest with Sears itself, even if you work on your idea outside of work.
A toaster oven is an all purpose toasting device that can toast slices of bread to crumpets, & even bake goods at a small scale.
Only thing i like about sears is that they’d let me and my friends chill on their furniture.
i think the most useful invention or modification i can think of, is give most electronics that need to be plugged in, a battery pack for when the power goes out, when you need light, it would be so much easier to just be able to turn on your floor lamp still, instead of needing to use a flashlight for everything
