You also need to be able release the hook

Don’t listen to the haters who say this is obvious. I’m an experienced engineer with 3 years in FDM printing. I’m subscribed because your videos are helpful. Thanks

you can also embed plastic sheeting as a hinge with a "T" so it can be secured in the lid. :-), you can also use string or wire mesh .

Great video, do you have an stl for the 3d printed parts? Would love to try an adapt this. Cheers!

Hard TPU, easy for printing, wear resistant, flexible and minimal permanent deformation.

This is a great video for showing how to go approach general problem solving 👍🏼

Excellent video, can you share the stl file?

Frankenstein it. Fix all the things you dont like about it either by designing new parts or retrofitting others.

I’m working on a round peg clip where the hooks point outwards. Any recommendations??

I noticed you did look at the breaking strain on the filament for designing the strain on the hinge, but that's not the right number. If you instead use the elastic limit (~2% for PLA), the hinge will only deform elastically and will last many, many order of magnitude longer too.

do you have an email I could send you a question in regards to a item I am working on with challenging connectors?

Thanks for the great inputs!

Cool video- way to keep it super simple and only get more complex as needed! Where's the follow up video? I see one about your printer layer shift issue where you point to in the video.

ok without having seen the video, stopped at where you say the fan is barely noticable, im gonna make a wild guess and say: 24v fan ( or any voltage higher than the port supplies) on a port that does not supply 24v but less, ima edit after the video if i was right :D edit: i was wrong :D but i had 2 friends already complain that theirs had similar issues and they put a 24v fan on a 12v fan after replacing the cooling fan with ones they found recommended for that size, not knowing its different voltages

I would say you should also look at your bed though. The print head should not be able to shift your magnetic steel sheet like that, normally it's virtually impossible to move the sheet horizontally when its held by the magnetic substrate, that's why you have to pull up at a corner to get it to release.

I'd finish it as is first, then decide what's really deficient in actual use.

I feel like your situation with the bed is the most important to solve, while not being all that difficult to address. You may be able to swap over to a RatRig EVA style hot end assembly, to address your concerns with the hotend. Not too sure on compatibility, but its a similar style mount. Otherwise, it all depends on your specific end goal, right? 6mm belts are more than enough, unless you want something super optimal, and in that instance it would be best to start a new build from scratch on a pre-existing design.

Suggestion: Analyze the Voron with the same eyes, and take the best of both worlds. The good stuff there is really good, the bad stuff isn't to bad, so do what you will but making a hybrid of this printer and a 'current tech' printer will still make you a work horse. Consider adding a 3rd vertical axis to make it more of a Y shaped yolk for the bed, that will fix many of your bed stability issues. Or consider NOT making it a super printer but a production work horse with auto bed clearing and 120V bed heater and add a cooler to allow for great production cycle time that can use auto bed unloading, the build a Voron or get a Bamboo type for your 'prototyping' and one-off prints!

Why so close up on your face?

Never? That really is a very long time! Got news for you NOTHING lasts for ever... NOTHING!

but like... who tf print that snap in vertical?

Thank you this and the other snap video. Petg is my go to material and I see its perfect for snaps as well. I hate using glue and want to tey getting away from screws so this is extremely helpful.

Step one: determine how many Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) your fan pushes. Step two: replace your fan with one measured in Cubic Feet per Second (CFS).

thanks, mr. obvious

Can a velocity stack help in the loss of pressure? I created a duct that uses very small space and I can not find 5020 fans anywhere. Modifying it is not an option, so I wanted to know if a velocity stack would help in there.

Is it Solidworks?

You could try crinkling it. Print it like WWWWWW .... this effectively increased the radius of the hinge, so it won't bend as much. Normal living hinges do not do this because it'd be costly and pointless, but it might work with this less flexible material.

AMAZING VIDEO!!! Thank you. I really needed this insight for a new project. Clicked that 🔔

Fantastic advice and concise - thank you sir!

Anyway i can get the stl for this? Thanks!

This is a fantastic video and something i struggled with in the past. Good work!

amazing channel! just started design my own 3d models, those videos will come in handy

Im having this issue with my wheel center cap the clips keep braking and there is no way I could print it virtically can anyone help please?

Great video!

so hate any snapping parts, it looks like very chip one-time stuff

my man is reading the script good vid though, I understood the snap-fits.

I had a similar problem that you solved by setting perimeter count to 1. On PrusaSlicer 2.6 I found that disabling the `Detect bridging perimeters` made the interior bridging anchor as expected.

That's the secret ? Don't print then vertically ? Surely, this is obvious.

I have never had anything with a plastic hinge like that which the hinge did not break before a month of use, that means opening and closing it at least a few times per day over that month All flip top products are polypropylene? Then no, polypropylene hinges do not bend many thousands of times before breaking, more like a few dozen at best.

Duct tape

As an alternative solution try to design a hinge with piece of 1.75mm filament as a stift.

Hello, I'm an Argentinean teacher who is having trouble designing a piece like this for a project I want to undertake with my 10-year-old students. I haven't been able to design what I need, but this type of flat boxes would be ideal. Do you have an .stl file of any model available that I could use as a reference? Thank you very much.

make join

Great thank you! please share stl file

Hello, we want to send you a laser engraver to try. Please let me know if you are interested.

Normally I'd be rooting for metric, but your case is 1 x 1 inch 😄

Weld a TPU hinge to PLA using PLA rivets or sandwich a TPU part between 2 PLA parts.

Break it with a hammer

Nice simple videos, just clickbait titles are annoying
