Depends what the bench is for. If you do woodworking, the last thing you want is open bins or shelves. All they do is collect sawdust.

Bought the files and only after realized just how expensive all the parts are to source. Not economically friendly if you’re thinking about building this.

I am confident that no one needs to tell you how cool this is... but. This is Awesome!!!

[gerolori]

that's damn impressive, I love the possibilities that this unlocks. For a smaller garage/workshop, it might be even enough to make two that are half of the depth of this one, to fi 1 row of bins instead of 2, and still have a countertop extension like you've done. Good job man, very skilled (I love 3D printing but haven't done the jump to buy one yet. This is a showcase of an actual use case that's worth buying it for)

It looks very nice and everything, but if you are going to be making the thre part bench and the router lift using either 30x30 or 40x40 extruded aluminium rails it's not going to be inexpensive, especially if you do not already own a suitable 3d printer, so about $65 (sale price) for the 3 patterns from your site, $400 for the cheapest of your suggested 3D printers, if you are using 30 x 30 aluminium thats about $400 (for everything to build 3 benches more for 40x40) then theres 8 castors, the mdf for tabletops and sides, plus the various Ikea boxes, angle brackets, t-nuts and filament to print all the bits. The design is not bad, but in a dusty workshop there will soon be dust everywhere

This is 8020 modular tubing that you can purchase at any hardware retailer or online.

Woodworking and 3D printing are my favorites!👍

4:59 here you can make or print a drawer block that you can hook or place in the middle where between the drawer of each side, you can prvent from pushing the drawer at the other side out accidently, i found this idea on the ikea norden table, it use a wooden plug at the middle as a drawer stop

An amazing build.

Protip for those of you who want all those 80/20 parts, but have a strong need to eat on a regular basis. All of the brackets are available as STL files on the McMaster Carr website. Unless you have a structural need for the metal brackets, the plastic version you print out will work just fine.

You're a freaking lots of time on his

AMAZING PROJEST... Loved the sound track...
and the parts you used were very intelligent.

[chrisbraun]

Awesome bench!!! Best I have seen on the internet!

[jaeric]

I love this and it gave me some ideas for what I want from a workbench. My only suggestion is that you might want to change how you store your file. Eventually it will file through that slot as you pull it out and put it back.

[SilasDrewchin]

Nice job, your grasshopper script needs major organization lol what a nest!

[RoseKindred]

I love this. I am not smart enough to make it or plan it like you did but you showed it off well. First-time viewer, subbed. Never would have thought to sand down the little metal nub on the corner holder.

[alexanderpierzchala]

Incredible Video. Camerawork, pace, and of course the end product. I will be making this.

[DeputatKaktus]

Massive props…Love this system. I was thinking about building something similar, inspired by the interior equipment compartments on the fire trucks I work with. They are all based on 4040 profiles, thick phenol resin board, diamond plate stainless steel and Delrin plastics. They are extremely simple. Expensive, yes. But rock solid. Because that stuff ain’t gonna be treated gently. It has to be „grunt proof“. For home use, this build looks pretty much perfect. I would probably replace the 3D printed parts with machined Delrin where possible (I have access to a CNC mill). But the stainless steel would make this ridiculously expensive so wood is totally OK.

[MisterMakerNL]

Looks really good!
Although those profiles are super expensive to get as a consumer.

[antonmaier]

Those alu profiles are really worthwhile for companies who want do build something fast. Like prototypes or one off builds. But they are ridiculously expensive for private persons.

Starts like you're assembling a giant 3D printer 😎
