yes I would like to see your personally made objects.

I skipped through the video in about roughly 1 to 2 minutes and got all info needed. Crazy long video for what it shows off.

Since the amount of material has a massive relationship to both cost and time to print, those two variables are strongly correlated. Using two strongly correlated variables as separate measures amplifies the common base variable (i.e. amount of material), which can easily outweigh other, more meaningful variables. For example, given the amount of material used in your 5th rated versus your 1st rated prints, doubling the effect of the material quantity is likely to effect the overall rating more than the actual utility of the prints, which is counter to the title of the video.

I was thinking the same thing as many other folks. I have a Ender 3 V2 and I print PLA at 65mm/s to 85mm/s depending on the items detail and I typically use a .04mm nozzle with a .24 to .3mm layer height. As for my go to filament, I use OVERTURE PLA 1.75 from Amazon with next day shipping for only $22.99 a 1kg which after tax comes to just under .025 cents per gram.

I hope these numbers maybe assist you in faster and cheaper prints in the future. My favorite PLA from OVERTURE is the Matte Black PLA as it looks great and prints beautifully.

We have very different timescale considerations.
5/5 - 0-10h the average workday
4/5 - 10-16h the average waking day
3/5 - 16-24h overnight print
2/5 24-40h 2 waking days
1/5 Beyond 40h.

Your layer settings must be ultra-fine with those long printing times. Most of these could be done with a larger nozzle and increased layer height and still be just as strong and functional. Nicely done video but I think I could live without any of these.

[iantaylor]

thanks for the video and explanation. FYI, within Cura, you can save filament costs in the filament settings, so after slicing, you’ll see the material cost of your print.

[boyer]

Your cost for filmIment it is way high and you're taking way too long print these things I don't know what printer you using for software

[njharper]

What odd metrics you have used. Basically 4 or 5 for "usabiilty" across the board, and as print time and weight are directly correlated the smallest item was always going to win.

[corporalcabbage]

i hated the pacing of this video, it felt drag-y. however, i loved basically everything else about it. the scoring system and the way you picked the designs was great

[wolfadventures]

Using 0.8/1mm nozzles they are basically printing these things stronger in about 1/10 of a time or less.

[afterthetech]

Hmn, you should also calculate watthours for every print. Nice video!

[LucasPfaff]

If you allow me: YouTube is sometimes weird with music. In editing it sounds all nice, and uploaded suddenly it's way too loud. I'd recommend you to notch down the volume a bit in the intro, it's hard to understand what you're saying (which is arguably the more important thing). I had severe trouble with this in the past as well, so I can feel it. If you think it's great, drop it maybe 5dB and usually that's fine :)

[RabbitsInBlack]

I get cheap Zyltech filament on sale at about 12 bucks a kg. And never had a problem with their filament.

[jasparcody]

I would like to know what print speed you are using... 1 day for those seems like a very long time. Most prints of similar size take me maybe half a day

[snugglyjeff]

petg actually absorbs water more than PLA or ABS and it is a pain to print with because of this. Gotta make sure it is dry first. PETG is actually a better filament for hot areas and/or for durability as it has some flex to it making it a good filament for that buckle/snap piece instead of PLA.

[antonioesquivel]

Great video. Very informative. Good job

[bhyre]

I understand wanting quality prints. But, I see no need to print supports for circular cutouts

[diegobasstian]

1st one I see right away. Print with .3mm nozzle height of.4mm with no support. Its only a paper towel holder.

[adnfulcrum]

the shower phone holder can be printed at .2mm thik per layer o .25mm thus reducing printing time up to 40%, that's something like 10 hours saved
