FINALLY somebody who shows some post processing of a 3D print! People buy a 3D printer, expecting it to run on pixie dust or something and the wonder why their prints look bad.

[@Einsteinarabable]

i wasted too much time looking for a simple gearbox design and i found it here many thanks

[@waledali434]

i like watching someone who got all the right tools for the right job and uses them so pro looking and awesome output you

[@code-grammardude5974]

I just bought some geared motors I should have watched this, before this video comes out I was looking all over the place for a compact 3d model of a gear box thank you btw I don't think the music was annoying :D

[@aplicarciencias]

That is great work you did. Congrats!

[@nico8273]

Amazing vid ! Enjoyed the quality of the video and the patience in the making of the gearbox !. Tho I wont trash talk about the background music, you should consider using other music such as a soothing one, and less instagram-like. But, beside that, keep it up with the amazing builds

[@mlgisnotdead7752]

I think all the dislikes are just from the backgraund music...

[@bryzabone]

MlgIsNotDead yes. Yes they are

[@preddy09]

Or maybe because 3d printed gears are incredibly noisy and the play is unacceptable for many applications

[@zainnoman3145]

Or the crocs at 6:04

[@mylifeonthepeninsula9521]

lmao true

[@sergioricardopereira]

Just what I need for a project... thank you

[@an_R_key]

That is amazing work you did there. Well done!

[@Whatsthegeek]

Amazing work and nicely filmed !

[@rricd]

Looks like is the same principle of the servo motor. Nice project.

[@sanjayprasad2496]

This is beautiful!!! really liked it looked really proffesional

[@tonyhill8300]

Isn't it best to print gears on a raft? Reduces clean up

[@MrCrankyface]

Really neat video, subbed. :)

[@Fluli]

A nice improved printer, nice idea and nice quality. But the music is a bit annoying. All in all I liked your video and I subscribed for more. At wich printspeed do you print?

[@cwgreenley]

I rather enjoyed the music

[@fortzero1552]

I use quite slow speeds 20-40 ms depending which layer is printing. If I use speeds over 50ms my extruder starts skipping. Next upgrade will be a new hotend and a bowden extruder.

[@Whatsthegeek]

It would make a nice servo if you added a potentiomenter

[@fortzero1552]

Servo was my inspiration here :).

[@ParsMaker]

nice work

[@marceloenriquechirinosmedi6002]

Please make a 1000kg/cm gearbox with this DC motor 775

[@artomatica]

Very good! How strong is it? What is a maximum torque on the shaft it can survive?

[@fortzero1552]

I have no idea how much torque this can take. But I think if you are using small motors with this, motor will stall before the shaft broke down.

[@UzunKamis]

Great videoz thank you. Can you please define the sizes of the nails and screws? Thanks one again.

[@rosstrue1]

Thanks for sharing

[@mike309saa]

good vid and good print quality. I have the exact same printer, just wondering if you could tell me what steps per minute the extruder is set at in marlin and also what extrusion flow rate do you have set in your slicer? Am new to 3D printing so just want some starting point.

[@fortzero1552]

My Esteps are set to 98 or 0.98 (Factory default). Flow rate is set 100% = factory settings. When I build this printer I had lot of problems with under extrusion but the reason was slipping extruder gear that pulls filament.

[@mike309saa]

How did you sort the slipping extruder gear? Unless yours is different, mine doesn't have an adjuster screw to adjust the tension. Though not had any gear slipping issues yet.

[@ailtonalcantarasilva3791]

Very Nice! Thank you!

[@beauz44]

Could those be used for a mini electricity generator? Awesome video and design thank you!

[@fortzero1552]

Yes. Replace that wheel with a wind turbine blades example and you have a wind generator.

[@Pandadancypant]

I'm kind surprised ya didn't fill the box with grease

[@Tusooong]

Awesome dude. Keep it up. Dayuuuummm!

[@axeljlundberg]

What did you use to prep the PLA for paint? And is it the same for ABS?

[@fortzero1552]

1.Clean all dirt and oil from the surface. 2.Add Primer and top coat. I'm using Alkyd and acrylic based spray paints for PLA. No problems so far. Both of those types of paints seems to have some acetone within so using them with ABS plastics is not guaranteed. (Never tested ABS filaments) Check link for more info about spray paints. www.maston.fi/en/front-page

[@churrumais6]

Hey bro do you know where I can find the stl for a gearbox with two axes but for the 755 motor so that it looked like the typical yellow motors but much more powerful, im sub I have looked for something similar in many places but did not find I needed something with power and with 300 rmp more or less not the typical slow box

[@Duci1989]

Think this will work to convert a hand cranked standing desk to an automatic one?

[@naboulsikhalid7763]

woow, genius. love the video, ideas, so neat. thank u for sharing. i will support u

[@BlueCheese13]

wow amazing

[@isaiasmarquesferreiraferreira]

Hi, i've liked that project, right now i remixing with Thingiverse

[@Vid304You]

Hello. I just discovered your channel by watching the PCB UV unit and it's great. Keep up the good work and consider advertising it some way :)

[@transformers1263]

Do you have links to the tools you use for the post processing ?

[@sebbe95m]

Why do you need that many gears ? Trying to understand why not only a smal gear to a large gear :)

[@frantellewater30641a]

Its significantly smaller if you use compound gearing instead of 1.

[@ELValenin]

Try printing the gears in nylon

[@JC_Young]

Found a super easy fix for those who don't like the music! Its a super secret setting on KZbin called MUTE. Personally it didn't bother me one bit.

[@instantjustice164]

Awesome!!!

[@karamjivani3669]

Hello. I was wondering if I could use this by adding a screwdriver head to the part that spins on the motor? Would this add torque to the head? Thank you.

[@escain]

It definitively add torque to the head, but it IMO would not work as a decent screwdriver for two reasons: The power of the motor is not enough and the design is not strong enough for the screws: with a stronger motor, plastic parts would just break.

[@apolinargaytan4938]

Donde se concigen esos motores.

[@marcteigh8633]

Excellent use of a 3D printer :) Just one query, if you don't like "Baby Blue" coloured plastic, what got you to buy that shade! Anyway, awesome project and provokes thought, thanks.

[@ELValenin]

I like it

[@utkuduman7231]

any way to reduce sound?

[@cybergnetwork588]

Turn the volume down, isn't easy enough?

[@santiagoacosta1751]

Buenarrrdo esto papá

[@vborgnet]

555 motor ?

[@kuyzcharly938]

can i buy one of those

[@JaviepalFordring1]

I try to make this garbox for my school proyect, but gears get stuck and doesn't turn,, i put the washers and the grease, but the gears can't turn for some reason, there are plenty of room in the case too.

[@fortzero1552]

Javierpal Fordring Have you calibrated your printer properly ? Try to scale down your gears by 0,5% and print again...

[@JaviepalFordring1]

Fortzero ok

[@Boritzzz]

Would you recommend the geeetech? and is it a pro B? I'm considering buying the Geeetech Prusa I3 Pro B myself :D Cheers

[@fortzero1552]

If you like tune and fix things then geeetech might be a good choice. Print quality without mods is poorly, mainly because of "Z wobbling". But considering the price (under 200€) I think this is good starting point in world of 3d printing.

[@P0llut1on]

what kind of cable stripper do you use to uncover the wire?

[@fortzero1552]

Knipex Automatic Insulation Stripper tinyurl.com/leld46x

[@raspberrypin3rd716]

i dont prefer straight cut gears but ok

[@ELValenin]

They are much stronger but ok

[@digitalmaker3d]

bravo

[@user-pp2vl3sx4k]

الحجات دي فين في مصر؟؟؟

[@user-yv8nv8pk2q]

Obour Fab Lab, Are you still alive ?

[@RETROGAME-FIX]

amazing man. hey can you make a 3d printed high torque servo.

[@jktvteam6159]

can you give it to me in money

[@knowall5792]

I wonder whether it was possible to use bush, or even small ball bearings on the shafts. This is not to criticize your work, because I am nowhere near your skill level. Keep making.

[@fortzero1552]

Yes, bearing and a steel shaft would be good upgrade for this one. Little bit tweaking with the original model and done ;)

[@user-iu3gu7tl3j]

👍

[@raulleyba3784]

Very good editing and 3d print processing. Make more vids and I and many others will subscribe! I'm sure of it. :)

[@eXe09]

What the fuck was that music? Are you some kickstarter startup from 2014?!

[@fortzero1552]

Just press mute and that's it :).

[@eXe09]

Mute does not solve the bad choice of music, mate

[@mathis5225]

i was thinking thesame, jesus christ

[@OU81TWO]

It's kitten video music.

[@TonyRios]

LMFAO

[@mr.indiahaker4185]

WOSAME DOD

[@JosephAMuniz]

I absolutely HATE the music!

[@SantaDragon]

It doesnt seem that you are a engineer. Use worm gear, this use same space and should trasport more than that weight.

[@calebsherman886]

Santa Dragon So he's not an engineer because he doesn't use worm gears.... seems legit.

[@huseyin.goktas]

worm gear is hard to print.

[@kuyzcharly938]

can i buy one of those
