Oh smart idea on the epoxy filling! I haven’t thought about that. Great tips!

[ryhym]

some of these clips of parts fitting together are so satisfying

[AnthonyBowman]

All of these are great! Concise, effective, easy to understand, and well presented. Anyone who has an interest in 3D printing needs tot see this!

I know this sounds weird but, I have a 3D printer to be delivered in two days and while I have a bunch of simple around the house things I know I want to print (Planters, spice racks, controller stands) the idea of designing things, especially mechanical things is ultimately the end game of what I want to do. I find it simultaneously exciting and terrifying. Watching this, despite being simple and short, shows me someone in that world having success and showing what they learned and that reassures me to a high degree! Thank you 😊

This is fantastic stuff. Just the engineering-grade 3DP advice I was itching to find. You just earned yourself a subscriber.

I'm here for the demo'ing of how FDM is part of a bigger picture for making serious functional parts. Nice short.

[SnoringVids]

Great advice!! Especially just dialing in a few standard materials/filaments can be a time suck

Didn’t know epoxy expires, just used some 20 years old epoxy I found in my garage and it worked just fine 🙃

[GrumpiestKitten]

Great tips all around, especially love 4 and 5.

Wowza that's a beautiful matte black! What settings & printer did you use?

[sethlaske]

For the epoxy do you find that it actually saves time and/or cost? I’ve tried hollowing parts out before and frequently it doesn’t improve print times or filament uses, as it need to spend more time on slow walls rather than quick infil. But that would certainly be stronger

What material is used in this video? Cant even see the z layer lines

[provuksmc]

That bearing looks like it would outlive the structure by 10000 years under load. I'm curious about the end design. What was it about?

[hillfortherstudios]

How much would you estimate that the resin fill saved you?
