17+ 3D Printed Gifts That Are Actually USEFUL!

THANK YOU for watching! I'd love to hear what you thought in the comments below! I read pretty much every comment :)

[@felurianmasters4369]

Your audio levels are very quiet, otherwise enjoyable, thanks

[@TheMajorTom2010]

@@felurianmasters4369 Really? The sound is great on my end.

[@felurianmasters4369]

@@TheMajorTom2010 some videos I have to turn down, some I can't turn up enough. This video i had to hug the speaker. Admittedly I'm in a loud environment

[@TheMajorTom2010]

@@felurianmasters4369 That's a bummer. I am using external speakers on my laptop, and in a fairly quiet environment, so I'm sure that helps my sound.

[@felurianmasters4369]

@@TheMajorTom2010 ya, id rather turn it down than not be able to adjust further. But I mention this as advice to the creator. Seems like that's the cost line between successful channels, and those who auditor to grow. The audio levels are always lower, regardless of production quality on smaller channels. The big guys always have lots and clear sound. Not trying to be difficult

[@JohnLattanzio98]

I would LOVE to learn how to print in multiple colors with only one extruder!

[@thenextlayer]

I can do that! Make sure you're subbed with bell icon on so you don't miss it. I often do a video that people request, and then nobody watches it, lol.

[@moto083c]

@@thenextlayer I also would love to see that video

[@brysonhand2273]

I was thinking the same thing

[@realgalactic]

@@thenextlayer you should so do this! I really want to print in multiple colours on my ender3

[@leonritzer365]

In prusaslicer you can set a color change between layers its pretty easy. There is a guide on their website on how to do it.

[@CraftyEnelrad]

Love the ideas of multi-color as well as SCAD. It would also be nice to have more in depth slicer topics, your print fails and why, print materials, etc.

[@thenextlayer]

Noted, thanks!

[@CraftyEnelrad]

@@thenextlayer Now, on to the fun comment. I wish you blessings on "the next layer" of your family. Enjoy and mazel tov!

[@npumphrey7585]

100% would love to see a video on customizing parts. Pretty new to 3d printing, and between work, full time school, and a 2yo, I haven't really had time to learn anything beyond using cura and printing things.

[@npumphrey7585]

Also would love to see the dual virtual extrusion trick And congratulations on the new little one!

[@thenextlayer]

THANK YOU!

[@bjaurelio]

Congrats on a new boy. As a dad to three boys myself, you will have a lot of fun printing toys for them and teaching them how 3d printing works.

[@thenextlayer]

Thanks! Appreciate it

[@ashokmoghe8035]

Definitely love to see a video on openSCAD. In particular it would be great to see how to design a custom lego block with a personalized message on it. Also, looking forward to watching in details how to do multicolor printing on a simple Ender 3 style printer. Good luck growing the channel - I am already a subscriber.

[@JacksMacintosh]

A tip for anyone printing the self defense cat: On one side the ears have a little embossing for detail. Make sure you print with that side up so you don't get any weird overhang issues

[@thenextlayer]

Good point

[@psnipes2003]

Yes, please do an OpenSCAD Tutorial Video!

[@maxnowak6032]

an Open-Scad Video would be great

[@billgoeller5398]

Keep up the good work, I've watched a lot of videos when I want to learn certain things or diagnosis a printing issue. While I've subscribed to many, yours is one of the ones I look forward to each time. You've kept them concise and helpful. I will continue to support by watching hope you continue.

[@ThirdDynamic]

YAY!! Congratulations! I hope your baby boy is 100% healthy and happy! I bought a SV06 through your link. I can't wait to get it and begin my journey of 3D printing for hobby, and hopefully a little extra on the side. Enjoy the coming weeks, take as much time as you need with your family. It is the most important thing in life. We can wait for all your awesome projects!

[@thenextlayer]

Thank you for the kind words AND for using my link. I think the SV06 is a GREAT first printer, and MUCH easier than starting with a Prusa that you need to build on your own :) Let me know how you like it - mine is in the mail, can't wait to use it.

[@chrispitchforth621]

Congratulations on your second kid. My wife is due any day now, so I have to stop saying "your my slowest 3D printer" before she kills me.

[@thenextlayer]

LOL!!!!! Congrats on the impending blessing

[@WKerrick]

this channel has been one of the best resources to check out, having just received a 3d printer for the holidays. Thanks for all of your hard work!

[@thenextlayer]

Awesome, thank you! I'm so glad. Make sure you're subbed.... the best is yet to come

[@danielbaarts4029]

Hey, I recently used the NameTagGenerator (downloaded from printables) in OpenSCAD. And I would love to learn more about how to do this kind of stuff for myself!

[@thenextlayer]

You got it :)

[@dannygoates5658]

Congratulations on your second child. What a blessing!

[@NenoHorvat]

Please make a tutorial for the modeling and 3D printing techniques that were mentioned in the Custom Guitar Picks piece. I'm eager to learn more about the specific methods and processes involved in creating custom guitar picks through modeling and 3D printing. Your expertise in this area would be immensely valuable in helping newcomers like me understand the intricacies of the process and improve our skills. Thank you for considering this request, and I look forward to your tutorial!

[@Deathbunnydude]

I love your honeycomb rack! Is it printed? And Congrats on the newborn!

[@thenextlayer]

Thanks! Yes. Video on that coming soon

[@USMCord1]

Congratulations on your new family member. Good luck in your future family endeavors.

[@pera0perkan]

I am thinking of getting into 3D printing and those types of videos like this sone and the one you referenced a few times are amazing. Keep up the great work and hopefully you have the time to do that OpenSCAD video

[@donuttree1798]

YES! OPENSCAD Video please! (great video btw)

[@thenextlayer]

OK, cool, noted. I'll probably do it :) Make sure you're subberd

[@jeffreycanfora1091]

Yes. Absolutely would be interested in a video on remixing, by you, rather than starting from scratch. I e wanted to do a 20% infill on 3/4 of a part and finish with 100% for the rest of the models sides too. Willing and wanting to learn these things. Thanks.

[@irodragon7184]

Great video. But for the cat keychain just suggest a firearm. Significantly more useful and effective.

[@FrenchyAU]

Actually a little note regarding lost Lego pieces, I'm pretty sure Lego do offer a free service or something where they'll send you a missing piece or something

[@jdl3408]

For the piggy bank, I drop this in mesh mixer and put a letter on the belly (first letter of kid’s name) as a customization. The kids really like that. Although you can’t have a spare stock ahead of time with that method.

[@thenextlayer]

Nice! I haven't tried MeshMixer, does it make it pretty easy?

[@jdl3408]

@@thenextlayer I was wrong... I tried in Mesh Mixer but failed, I think because it was the first time I used it. (There is no way to directly make letters in mesh mixer. I will try again because I think I know the right way to do it now.) I ended up using Tinkercad. That was super easy but I lost a lot of the nice fidelity in that model. It came out a bit "low poly". I think the easy but correct workflow would be to generate a STL of the letter in Tinkercad (or whatever) and then combine to two STLs in mesh mixer. This would preserve the fidelity.

[@BethyM99]

I know this video is a year old but enjoying your channel! If the Open scad video doesn't exist yet, please make it!

[@cosmicbrambleclawv2]

You had me at Lego I didn't even THINK about printing Legos with my resin printer, I can make transparent pieces that I can't find online because they only came in specific sets :D
