I 3D Printed a Toolbox FOR FREE with the Creality K1C 3D Printer!

I've organised toolboxes of every shape, size and brand, but this time, I decided I was going to make a toolbox to organise my tools with, in Shadow Foam! Our friends at Creality offered us this K1C 3D printer, and soon enough, I was able to figure out a complete novice's guide to 3D printing a toolbox! Check out how I did this, plus a review and some helpful hints, tips and tricks for using Shadow Foam!

Let me know in the comments below what you think of our Creality K1C 3D Printer, and whether you would like to see me do more projects like this one!

Hey! The box looks familiar! Thanks for sharing it 🤗

I’ve never watched your channel before but I’m an 3d printer enthusiast and I absolutely love the fact that you are a novice and blatantly showed how simple it is to use one. I’m now a subscriber!!!

The strip of rubber is referenced in the manual. It goes on the left edge of the top cover (see in manual). It's supposed to protect that side from the feeder belt thingy. If you still have this printer I would recommend printing the riser for the top lid.

15:34 The strip of foam with the adhesive - goes in the inside of the clear dome cover, on the left side - it's because the chain track that holes the filament bowden tube and connection wires - bumps into the dome and some people don't like the noise it makes, so this piece of foam silences it a little to a low thud. you can also remove the cover when printing PLA (I personally do not) or print a riser or a riser and chain riser combo unit that has a groove for the chain to keep moving out of hte top of the printer.

I'm currently 3D printing some speaker spikes in TPU to make my studio setup look a bit tidier. Not bad prints!

Bit of advice:

Temperature control is very important. You can have the exact same filament type (i.e. PLA) and size, but one by a different manufacturer will print differently at the same temp, so you need to figure that out. Even +/-5°C difference can make a huge difference in print quality. Also, I've found out black filament tends to absorb heat a lot better, so slightly lower temp for that vs white filament. Makes sense because darker colours absorb heat a lot faster than lighter colours.


There are some settings like "initial layer height", as well as how slow to print the first few layers for proper bed adhesion and quality of print. Usually the first few layers are done slower, but it's something you can likely tweak. Hell, you can probably tweak everything!

The slicer you choose also changes how the print turns out. I guess you're using the in-built one? I use something called "Ultimaker Cura". It's a great slicer with tonnes of options you can tweak to perfection for your specific setup.

If you ever want any advice on 3D printing or want to see how I print using my Ender 3, just pop down. I'll put the kettle on. :) Just down the road anyway!

I thought when I saw the title this would be more of an ad but I really liked the video and how you incorporated the sponsorship with your own business to give new ideas. Thanks!

[kieranhaigh]

just got the K1C printer today (also my first 3D printer). I will definitely be giving this tool kit box a go when it is all set up and running

[andrewvautour]

I have been looking at 3D printers for a couple of years now but never bit the bullet till now. Watching your video helped me to decide to go for it. Creality is probably the one for me and after looking at the Ender Series and K1 series I have decided on the K1C printer. I like that I can print with CF filaments and like Creality products in general from all the videos I have seen. So I will be ordering my K1C at the end of the month, again, thanks for helping me to decide.

[KeepRightOnKRO]

First time watching your channel(got recommended, as I’ve been researching this printer). Love your reaction to this, the mrs? Saw me watching this and walked out the room 🤣 Subbed & going through other videos now! 😀

[roryadby]

My KC1 is on its way, I also am a 3D printer virgin so this was very helpful, thank you!!

[IfDawidCanYouCan]

I new to 3D Printing as well! I bought Ender-3 S Pro but didn’t get it going as it needs lot of manual levelling. So, I sent them back and asked for CR-10 SE. But after reading and seeing lots of videos, I’m now thinking to get this K1C as it seems the one I would like. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as I believe, *_Our World_* is a *_Shared Experience_* … Thank you matey! Cheers!!! 🖖

I have 4 3D printers now and am hooked. Lol. They are amazing and have come such a long way in the last few years. My latest purchase was a k1 a few months ago. And i have moded all my printers as well. Once you get more comfortable with 3D printing and software you can then root your k1c and install full fluidd and unlock klipper software and get its full potential. You will see how much more control you can get once you root the printer. And that foam strip is for the lid. It goes on one side. If you watch the creality youtube unboxing video you will see what i mean and where it goes.

I have been 3D printing for about 10 years. My new K1C is on the way from Amazon, due here on saturday the 3rd of Feb.

[zadekeys]

When I get my 1st 3D printer, Ill be printing:

Laptop feet, Mikrotik router black mounting case, 'C' cups to make slising draws under my desk for small items, tool holder for when i solder, single to dual screen mount for my existing single arm screen mount, tool box's for small tools.

just been catching up with all of your videos and has inspired me to shadow foam out my tools i am an apprentice love the content

[GhostofTatooine]

The tool wall I posted on your FB group was 3D printed. A combination of internal support struts and an outer shell. The shells have a white filament for the first 3 layers to act as the diffuser then a colour change for the rest. Then the obligatory shadow foam inserts for the tools.

Stripe glued to the inside of top lid - left vertical side if look from front - It prevent damage of strike of cable chain on high speed printing.

[phillipritchie]

Pls can you do more videos on your 3D printer and incorporating these builds into your shadow foam layouts 😘

[aldupon]

Hi, I did print 2 of these... in a smaller size about 150mm large... really cute!
