Wait so was there power in the back too for the prusa to print on the road? That opens up even more possibilities! 😍So it's heading to me next right @Ford? :P
Typical power connector in rear of vehicle for accessories (kiddo game systems/ phone chargers) But the REAL test question would be to 3d print while off roading. *Imagines 3dprintingnerd outfitting a Ratrig/Voron with shock absorber/ heated inclosure mod in the bed of the pick-up to print a gun rack while going mudding

It shows you that ford has some young forward thinking individuals working for them. All the other dinosaur auto manufacturers need to take note! Asteroids a comin……
So many parts of this video were great: the FITS, Alex and Joel slo-mo, the Mini road printing and the three foot fork?! I need the ability to thumbs up this video more than once for all the fantastic fun!

Grandfather spent 45 years at Ford. Fiesta ST & C-max PHEV in da fleet! Restored a 65 Mustang (have owned 3 Mustangs). Never owned a truck, but I'd buy this truck. It's cool!
Very cool, hopefully Ford won't be upset you printed their trademark logo without permission! (Lol, probably not) My buddy wants one of these trucks, but he said Ford isn't making anymore right now due to lack of parts, and high demand.
(why I'll probably never do or be sent products to review) Did you try riding in that back seat for a road trip? I bet, even if it took The Full Joel, the level of comfort would be sub-optimal. Has anyone thought about the lever arm stresses on that mounting system with it being placed so low on the console? For a drink holder or trash option it might work; space looks to be at a premium.

RE: lever arm stresses - According to the Ford webpage for FITS, any accessory should have a self-fail rating of 17lbs (or kg, I forget which). Presumably to protect the FITS slot from getting ripped out. They also said for heavier applications the accessory needs to be able to support itself from the floor. RE: Riding in the back seat - I don't have a Maverick. But from what I've seen on other RUclips videos, the backs of the front seats are concave, adding an inch or two to the leg room. Should reduce the cramping factor of the crewcab formfactor. (One reviewer who claimed to be average male height set the driver's seat to the appropriate position for him to drive comfortably and safely, and then got into the seat right behind the driver's seat and had enough leg room so his knees weren't hitting the back of the seat. If the seat-back had been flat he wouldn't have had the room. Yea, I've been doing a lot of research on these trucks since I'm in the market to get one as soon as I can find one in stock in my local area, or I wait for the '23 model year ordering to open. (There have been so many customer orders that Ford closed ordering on the Hybrids in November, and on the Turbos in February. Dealers can't get any inventory to sell to people off the street. Only if someone bails on their customer order can a dealer turn around and sell one to Joe/Jane Random.)
I have the 110 in the bed and tonight I modified the compartment door on the right side of the bed to have one 12v port and 2 USB Qualcomm ports. I will install it on Sunday.
Fitting, I happen to be finally editing an interview I filmed about a Custom Ford Maverick at SEMA 2021 with a ton of 3D Printing on it! Rad video as always Joel!
As a VW and Toyota guy, I'd always hated Honda, but this latest development is really stressing out my middle finger as I extend it all the way to Honda HQ.
I live in south Texas and a PLA print here you be turned in to a pile of plastic stuck to you carpet 8 months of the year. I even think PETG would deform here during summer.
What a great idea. Hmm, I think I need to design some FITS receptacles that I can retrofit into my 2003 4x4 camper van. This way those of us with older Ford vehicles (or other makes) can leverage all the cool designs that will be coming out.
Awesome. Leaves an open ended option to create whatever you want with that attachment. Would love to see some custom designs that don’t involve Fords integrated designs Because if it FITS it ships lol
Somehow it seems to me that Mr. 3D Nerd will be, in the near future, the first 3Dprint-RUclipsr to introduce us the PRUSA PRO AFS (Automated Farm System). Coming soon. Be prepared! Hint: Don't be fooled by the boxes that says "Prusa i3 MK3S" 😉
Just wanted to say that I’ve been looking forward to this video ever since you teased it on Twitter! As a person who has never purchased a pickup, the Maverick checks a lot of boxes for me, and it’s great to get a different view on things vs some of the other reviews out there.
This is one of the absolute best vids U have ever produced. U take practical and essential and fun and humor and put it all together in a fantastic manner ! Your innovation of add on items is nice and clean and fits with the design perfectly.
I wonder how much torque that electric motor has? My prius engine only has 135hp, but the electric motor has 295ftlbs of torque. Which makes a huge difference.
I see this as a great truck for service companies, pickup bed, storage, apple carplay, 42 mpg city, 20k. Sounds great if you need 10 trucks for your company! Put a ladder rack on top and a bed topper on with a tool storage system in the back you have a great setup for daily service work for plumbers, electricians, handyman, internet companies, you name it. Maybe even add an eco boost v6 and make a cop car out of it!
Gimme the ecoboost and 3d print a holder that splits into 2 tables for fast food and then swivels together to make a massive table to play backgammon o
Neat, but before everyone goes "YAY FORD, BOO HONDA!", how is Ford dealing with spare parts? Like all the tiny things that Honda had removed from Printables. Are they releasing models that people can download and use for replacement parts? Or is it limited to things that go in the FITS socket?
Hahah, I literally had a video next to this in my video stream about Honda going to war at the community from Louis Ross an. Gonna have to watch it now 😅
how does the FITS connector hold up? to be fair, i don't know how strong their plastic is that has the holder, but i think if you print larger/taller objects to be used on it, it might not hold up/jiggle too much? (as an example, the ipad holder, it should've been higher to be more useful)
What software are you using to manage the farm? I worked on an open source farm management system. (F paying for farm software, and octofarm won't auto start a submission to a ticket system.)
Really is fantastic. Openness and interoperability is something that should be MUCH more common in 2022. We have the ability to share info and create things like never before in the history of mankind and stifling that for stupid, petty, illogical reason (coughhondaappleonewheelcough) is a real travesty.
I think this is a good video but I feel overall Ford is not marketing this correctly. I went to the International Auto Show here in PDX a little bit ago. They had multiple Mavericks on display but no one working in the Ford booth knew what I was talking about when I asked to see them (the FITS system). I actually had to explain what they were and what they did to one guy who ended up calling over his colleagues and having me explain to them as well. I also really want it to make it's way into other Ford models. I put down the 100 bucks to get in line for the Lightning and I would love to see them added there as a mid cycle refresh before my turn to order.
I love everything about this video. Ford definitely did their homework by loaning you this car, so many people are going to discover this cool feature thanks to you! Nice work, Joel!
Man.. I have been writing Ford for a while to see if they would do something for my dad. He drove a 93 Ranger from new to 2016 when it died with almost 500,000 miles on it. He has been walking to work ever since. I started my 3D printer business just to make enough to buy him a new truck. Getting close!
They need FITS connectors on the dash and the overhead console with available "HOT ON RUN" wiring harness connections preinstalled nearby. That would allow a whole world of custom accessories like custom heads up displays, vehicle statistics monitors, reactive sun visors, who knows.
I'm sure they are taking notes. I'm not a ford fan but the mavrick I've kept my eye on ever since FITS was announced. I'm sure if the idea is well used and they see high interest in the FITS system they will develop it further across the linup including things like nearby power sources. Having got the chance to personally look at a lariat mavric up close they are nice little trucks. They are slowly swaying my disdain for ford.
@@adamhorn8414 Me Three. Unfortunately we are down to buying someone else's configuration if they bail on it (and we can get to the dealer fast enough), or wait until August for the '23 model year ordering to start.
Barely anyone knows what the old Maverick was. As for the Mustang Mach E, people love that vehicle and it can beat my 2016 Mustang Manual Transmission on the track and also at the 1/4 mile. Seems plenty Mustang-like to me.

Honda, take notes! This is how you handle people 3d printing parts for thier cars.
Haha this is some bad timing for Honda for sure lol
Oof
I just found out about the situation from this comment.
Honda: So, what action do you think we should take on this Nintendo?
Nintendo:😈
This is so funny
@@kurtlindner Someone needs to 3D print a Gameboy mount.
Wait so was there power in the back too for the prusa to print on the road? That opens up even more possibilities! 😍So it's heading to me next right @Ford? :P
It has a power inverter. It takes the battery power from the truck and changes it to house hold voltage
Nudge nudge wink wink
Typical power connector in rear of vehicle for accessories (kiddo game systems/ phone chargers)
But the REAL test question would be to 3d print while off roading.
*Imagines 3dprintingnerd outfitting a Ratrig/Voron with shock absorber/ heated inclosure mod in the bed of the pick-up to print a gun rack while going mudding
I think the Maverick has a spot to put power in the cargo bed, too.
YeH man, came with a 400 watt inverter!
This is great, had no idea FITS was a thing. Super fun.
As someone who has designed things to fit in the various pre-existing holes for vehicles, this is extremely cool. An very unexpected pro consumer move but definitely a great one.

Oh no! Well, looks like FITS is in your future!

YOU are wonderful!
FITS is a tremendous concept - Hats off to Ford!! And Joel sets the bar for PPM (Plugs Per Minute). Very well done!

They need a FITS connector for hood ornaments ! Soooo many possibilities!!😃
Oh, a retractable hood ornament!!
Just as Honda tears down all 3D models with their name in it from the internet, Ford encourages people to make 3D printed stuff for their vehicles.
Heck yes now this a cool project!
But can we 3d-print a Gatling gun for the hood?
Lets hope all Big Corps. take note. Yes You @HONDA ! 3d Printed addons make the original better. Love it Joel. !!
Honda: FU, you geeks
Ford: print away my nerdy friends
Joel: 3-foot fork?
Ford lawyers: we need a few safety disclaimers
Meanwhile Honda had Prusa take down all Honda related prints. Huge fail!!!
They do that under the guise of "Safety". Really means "we are scared of lawsuits".
Very cool, hopefully Ford won't be upset you printed their trademark logo without permission! (Lol, probably not) My buddy wants one of these trucks, but he said Ford isn't making anymore right now due to lack of parts, and high demand.
it is super cool that ford left part of their car opened so all the makers can make custom things to go with it.
Fords in the game… it just got real for 3d printing 👍🏻👍🏻
(why I'll probably never do or be sent products to review)
Did you try riding in that back seat for a road trip? I bet, even if it took The Full Joel, the level of comfort would be sub-optimal.
Has anyone thought about the lever arm stresses on that mounting system with it being placed so low on the console? For a drink holder or trash option it might work; space looks to be at a premium.
That iPad holder is going to give back-seaters hunch-neck. The ones under the bench... Beats me what they'd be good for other than dividers. People are creative though. It'll be interesting to see what designs appear.
Screams of a gee-whiz gimmick to me. 🤷🏼♂️
I can see using the ones under the seats to make custom dividers and storage trays.
I did not find it much different than an Escape or Bronco Sport, which all share the same platform.
RE: lever arm stresses - According to the Ford webpage for FITS, any accessory should have a self-fail rating of 17lbs (or kg, I forget which).

Lmao that fork is amazing!!! And not dangerous at all 🤣🤣🤣
I'm test driving one today. I like the fits system but I'm interested in the moddable stuff in the bed (12v system and tiedowns) maybe a hot tub?
I have the 110 in the bed and tonight I modified the compartment door on the right side of the bed to have one 12v port and 2 USB Qualcomm ports. I will install it on Sunday.
Would have been cool if ford used existing standards like t or e track instead of designing their own. Still neat though.
Fitting, I happen to be finally editing an interview I filmed about a Custom Ford Maverick at SEMA 2021 with a ton of 3D Printing on it! Rad video as always Joel!
That FITS thing is genius. Put connectors everywhere Ford. EVERYWHERE!
YES EVERYWHERE!
Now that’s how you do a paid integration that has nothing to do with your niche. I liked it. Is that the new makita teal?
This wasn’t a paid spot. Ford asked Joel if he wanted to check it out. He decided to make an episode on it.
As a VW and Toyota guy, I'd always hated Honda, but this latest development is really stressing out my middle finger as I extend it all the way to Honda HQ.
Honda really didn’t do the right thing.
I made a FITS business card holder for my Ford Maverick!
Now, if only they would build mine and ship it to my dealer…
Maybe soon.
I live in south Texas and a PLA print here you be turned in to a pile of plastic stuck to you carpet 8 months of the year. I even think PETG would deform here during summer.
Lot of applications for a 3D expert and customizing a Maverick

4:23 you were that kid in school huh? The guy only asked for a fork and you printed a fork and a spoon. LOL.
Great video. Fork was awesome.
Honestly, even without 3D printing, these connectors are really useful for the aftermarket. I'd buy a few cupholders that were molded.
I remember when a Ford Maverick was a car not a truck
I thought the Maverick was an AMC...
As a happy owner of the Hybrid Maverick Lariat it is truly awesome. 110v 400 watt outlet in the bed. 40 - 50 MPG in town.
AWW HECK YES!
Well, here I thought I was being cool 3D printing Imperial roundels for my hub cap centers. LOL
Neat idea!

Neat, but before everyone goes "YAY FORD, BOO HONDA!", how is Ford dealing with spare parts? Like all the tiny things that Honda had removed from Printables. Are they releasing models that people can download and use for replacement parts? Or is it limited to things that go in the FITS socket?
soon, Ford will just give you the motor and expect you to print the whole car.
Another Ford promote the Maverick video, while people that order the Maverick are waiting a year or more to get it.
Take notes all you prusa haters…. Look what he’s moving into his print farm?!??!
tell me HOW to do the 3d print process what software how to get different designs. instructions on HOW TO DO IT
so, anything in the front dash for it?
