3D printing might be even MORE of a "from scratch" build because it requires entirely new design work. But I can understand how people looking for clever re-uses of common objects would find a video with too much 3D printed items not fulfilling to that interest. Ultimately, the artist uses the best options and tools at their disposal to get the job done. Each will have to choose the principles and parameters of what they do which fits them, and their fans will do the same. You do you and let the chips fall where they may. Your work is incredible either way in my book.

such a clean project. i might have to make one myself! i really like this foggy backdrop sheet material you have going too nice job!

[ScratchBashing]

I think your build quality and speed has skyrocketed since you added 3D printing to your workflow

Anyone who things or says "3D Printing is cheating" need to take a long look at themselves in a mirror!

Hey CTG. I’m happy to see videos of yours again. I’ve been really busy with life and it’s been beating me up, so this would be the first time in quite awhile since I get time to relax, watch videos of yours and post a comment. Well I’ve been trying to catch up to your latest videos including this one, so I can stay current. Hope everything is good with you. I like how you’re growing your shop.

As for the rules of scratch building, there really are no rules set in stone. To say using a 3D printer is not scratch building is to say the manufacturers of what makes up for greeblies, bits and pieces for modeling, like all manner of plastic containers, tops, model sprue frame and metal bits and bobs isn’t scratch building. Even if those items were cut up doesn’t change the fact they, too, were all manufactured and was absolutely needed by scratch builders.

Scratch builders need to draw out their design builds at times, at least the good ones, that is, so how’d that be different from someone designing something on a CAD program. I mean at one point I was fabricating large pieces of sheet metal using cardboard which, at the time, was my CAD, Cardboard Aided Drafting. Listen. Never mind what your detractors say. They wouldn’t be scratch builders, they’d be envious complainers, is all and you know what happens to complainers, right? They fall on deaf ears.

You don’t manufacture your parts you fabricate them. If it inspires others to do the same and become scratch builders/modelers because of your videos, then….what harm have you done to the craft?

Dude, you’re good with ideas, design and construction. You’re doing what you love if this isn’t the basis of all scratch builders then someone has something wrong, which is right, and why there are no real rules to scratch building other than the love of it.

Scratch building: if you don’t have the piece(s) you won’t have your piece(s)

Good luck, and can’t wait to see more of your models.

I have the small grinder, it is so useful 👍

Show de bola. Meu amigo.
Parabéns pela nova aquisição.

Loving the build and the printer! Ender has come a really long way and I'm starting to question if I should bother fixing my antique over and over.

[ReedCBowman]

You've mentioned the original sander on the channel several times, and said that it had its own video and the files were available. But I don't see the video anywhere. I'd consider making this version but honestly would prefer the laser cut version. Are the instructions and files still available? And maybe the video?

[ateliedemaquetes.aereoenav]

Olá, excelente seu projeto. Poderia nos mostrar como vc fez as partes dos suportes da lixadeira no Fusion?

[tonyspark]

Awesome video. Where you get ur glass for the bed?

[spinafire]

I think the amount of 3D printing used on a model, whether 1% or 100%, only really matters if you were submitting to a contest with strict rules. Otherwise, art is art, and to each their own. If you want to use more or less 3D printing to cater to an audience, that's still personal choice.

[AJBK]

I've never got glue stick and glass to work!

Gosto muito dos seus vídeos! Vc é de sp?

I came to start watching this channel because CTG actually like did stuff. Showed techniques to those of us that want to use our eyes and hands to sculpt 3d objects in real life, be it robots, tanks etc. with blender or any of those other sculpting programs, you cheapen it. Yeah, its sometimes more convenient, but at that point you arent teaching sculpture or KIT BASHING. Your teaching 3d rendering. HELL you arent even teaching techniques. Most crafting channels that switch to 3d printers just show WHAT you did not HOW you did it. I hope this channel doesn't follow suit like BMC or any of the other crafting channels that decided to cheapen their content. (tldr; not everyone can afford or even have access to a 3d printer.)

Granted I have no idea how CTG is going to use the 3d printer in any up coming builds. I would just really like it if they took the time to explain how things were made instead of the possibility of us getting just a jump cut to a finished part.

I don't feel that using a printer is cheating. Scratch build implies just that, you've started from nothing, no structure, no base model to start from 3d printing doesn't just make a finished product from thin air. You have to design it, you start with a blank canvas, nothing. So people who say 3d printing isn't scratch building can go drink a mug full of shut up.
