Thanks, for the great insights. New to CAD and 3D Printing, already learnt a lot of great basic product design principles regarding mass 3D printing from your videos. The cube as starting point for countless design variations, valuable demonstration!
Wow this is amazing how you broke it down and simplified the base design to then go crazy with that base model and build off it. Helps me visualize the possibilities and that helps me especially as I'm just starting to challenge just the same thing you're trying to acheive here which is traditional injection moulded manufacturing process that has to come from thousands of miles. Great going! Keep these coming, please!
Wow. The CAD productivity and creativity is impressive, as is your understanding of industrial design. As an engineer, I tend to poo-poo industrial design as at best "just making things look good", and at worst "sacrificing functionality for aesthetics", but aesthetics are very important and I struggle with that. It doesn't come easily for me.
Wow great video, many little but important lessons, shouldve seen this before i spent al day trying to come up with a stand. i was on the right path, but you really teach some important concepts in 3d printed Design -theory! thanks! now ill basically copy your design if you dont mind haha;)
Very nice video. Thank you! Please make another video showing how to design the lampshade. That would be very interesting because I have no idea how to design this.
It amazed me that you started with a truncated cube and iterated all of these different designs, including a cylinder. If I try to radius the four vertical edges of a cube to make a cylinder, FreeCAD makes my part disappear as a punishment for making it divide by zero or something. 14:00 - I wish FreeCAD let me do asymmetrical chamfers. Anything but 45 degrees is a PIA.
As always: great video! I would be interested in how you could design this type of lampshade that could be printed without supports and produced in large quantities with a 3D printer.
I'd be careful with Fusion 360... Autodesk lets you use it for free to get you hooked & as soon as you want to do commercial work with it they're gonna charge you an arm and a leg

This was an interesting insight. Like the wire holder idea
Another solid video. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant

You should do a shop tour...

Looks like corners arent happy with with whatever settings you got there.
More solid layers on the bottom plus maybe different infill pattern? Brim?
Great video! (just that your "hexagonal" base has actually *eight* corners 😄)
What kind of filament did you use for the shade?
Was the very faint background music supposed to be a Lind of easter egg or what? Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
was the lampshade printed as well?
What Cad program is this?
Fusion360
