3D Printed Hose Storage for Dust Collector

[@michaelbraaten]

That rotating piece looks like your logo lol you should redo it your glasses and beard embossed on it haha

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Ha, but then I'd have to stare at my logo all day.

[@michaelbraaten]

@ lol yeah, I’m not the least bit surprised to hear that would be annoying/weird for you 😆

[@BeefIngot]

Now I want to buy some ball detents I may never use to add to the pile of cool things I might some day use. Seems really elegant with the use of existing materials where possible vs every thing looking like a 3d printer nail.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Thanks! I try to incorporate parts that already exist, like you said. There's no need to design that spring feature as a 3d-printed part.

[@nerddub]

this is absolutely true, but it also super easy to add just a spring pocket and use whatever diameter spring / ball combo gives you the desired force or fits into your project constraints, same mating part, just detent pockets. once i figured this out, i have added ball detents to things that definitely didnt need them, but I needed them hahaha

[@mikedtubey]

Wow, thanks so much for the pintable's models!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I'm glad you found them useful!

[@joell439]

Very clever. I’ll definitely be using these ball detents in the future. 👍😎👍

[@RobertCowanDIY]

This was a great application for them and I'm for sure going to think of other uses for them!

[@RingsWorkshop]

1) Great design and execution on this, very satisfying and well thought out. 2) I totally get the idea of messing with a camera for hours and just wanting to get the project done. 3) "It's already over engineered enough"...this is blasphemy as there is no such thing sir! Haha! Great work as always!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Ha, something can CERTAINLY cross over into "over-engineering" territory! Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. That being said, check back next week, I have another over-engineered solution.

[@mikedtubey]

Great idea with the ball detent. ill integrate that into some things.

[@JonathanRansom]

I have no known current use for the detents, but I'm still going to order some. Seems like a great thing to have around when I finally need them. Great project!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I actually had a use for these in a project for work, but ended up doing something else. I'm glad I came back to them for this.

[@talbech]

I simply love your designs. Great content as always.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@eugene3d875]

Very well thought through. Love the ball detent application, and I am definitely stealing this idea!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Glad you like it!

[@Ryoshoru]

11:10 How have I never heard of this before 😦I always assumed my build plate was not entirely clean. This is HUGE, thanks!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Yeah, I thought the same too!

[@blazegbs]

Great idea that I will use.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Let me know how it goes!

[@aserta]

14:44 keep an idea on wear and tear on the tube. The ball is after all a "point" touch on the brush's tube, and it might wear down a groove (as one keeps naturally placing things in the same spot once they get used to it, it's a human thing we all do). My old, old German made vacuum machine for ashes had a clip on system very similar to this, and because the bend had to go in a recess, it eventually wore down the metal on the edge thin. Just a thought.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I doubt this will get used enough for it to be an issue. ASA is pretty tough stuff too. BUT, these ball springs are actually just a ball bearing, so the wear should be somewhat minimal. We'll see how it goes, I could always print the 'cup' out of a different material, or even something with carbon fiber which would actually wear down the ball instead (which is easier to replace).

[@mr_voron]

That’s amazingly clean. Well executed! First thing I thought of when I saw the swing and click intro was “Oh hey, Dyson cord manager thing”. I’m gonna need to incorporate those detents into some designs. Sounds incredibly satisfying.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Glad you liked it!

[@BestUnderPressure]

Really cool project. I really like the ball detent feature.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Thanks!

[@jamieclarke321]

Very nice little widget to add to 3d printed stuff. Im much more enjoying watching and learning about the theory behind how and why something is designed these days rather than watching build montages

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Same. I'd rather know how to do my own stuff than just watch other people put something together.

[@JimRimS4S]

There is always "a need" to make things look good and to take pride in what you build.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

true.

[@brendonziegenbein5226]

wow, thank you! this is amazing. Thanks for sharing the files for this! I just have my stupid hose wrapped up on the ground and have struggled with how to tame it.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

That's exactly how mine was for the last couple of years. I never used the hanger thing because it was terrible.

[@avejst]

Another great design, love it. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us :-)

[@RobertCowanDIY]

My pleasure!

[@protege5703]

Laughed at the thumbnail click baiting thing at the end. 😂

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Whenever you see thumbnails like that, you gotta think about how they're made. It's ridiculous.

[@BobGarrett66]

I may be getting really old. Hell, I am old. I’ve been a woodworker for almost 4 decades now. Never heard those called “ball detents”. I do have a gallon jug full of “bullet catches” that I have used in building numerous cabinets where they are used with a small strike plate. When you install them into a cabinet door, they CATCH in the strike plate to hold the door closed. Some folks use magnetic catches for a similar solution. Bullet catches (now called ball detents) are a more elegant solution. Either way, great use for them to be used for your hose storage. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and an idea for holding the hose together so you can access your dust collection control…… bungee cord. Edited: For grammar

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Things have many names, especially when used in different contexts. What's a rabbet for some is a slot for others.

[@m97120]

Those ball detents are an amazing idea! I've seen them in some products but it never clicked in my brain that I could use them in my own projects too. I'm gonna stock a few of those.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Right?! I came across them for another project and I'm glad I remembered them.

[@aserta]

1:18 fire hose storage racks, specifically for the rigid type of hose used as adapters. It's basically a regular hose holder on steroids.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

AH, saddle rack. Nice. I still like my solution better though, I can store the accessories. But good to know!

[@KoenKooi]

For SD cards, I’ve mostly switched to Sony Tough models and haven’t had issues with plastic bits breaking off! I had a similar situation as yours, a piece of card stuck in the camera, luckily no permanent damage to the camera!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

OOF. Yeah, I saw those, but they're a bit spendy. Mine was already falling apart and I kept using it. That's on me.

[@mkegadgets4380]

Thanks for adding a link for the ball plungers. I ordered some. I have no idea what I’m gonna do with them. But when I to use them, I’ll have them. Look forward to next video.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

They're really useful! Be like me, over-engineer something pointless in the future.

[@kvtorp]

A totally insane number of things have made it into my home under that pretext

[@Thejakegee]

Damn. I’m going to print this for a fidget. Thanks for sharing!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

YES! 0.2mm clearance between the ball and the mating wall works great.

[@pepedel13]

That look really nice!! You did a really nice job there! I would suggest you to put a bit of grease between moving parts to increase it's lifetime (and lower the noise) and thread locking glue in the nuts.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Good call.

[@Marcels-Workshop]

Commenting for the algorithms. Merry Christmas 🎉

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

[@Deek6923]

Thank you Bobby

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Oh no. no no no. Robert.

[@louisclarkeii]

well done!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Thanks!

[@aaronalquiza9680]

i'm thinking of making a vertical reel for my 4 inch hose. the reel can be turned and hose can be guided to spiral-wrap around it a few times. that way i can have it only a couple feet tall, and 22 inches diameter.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

nice! it could absolutely be made in any orientation.

[@theJonnymac]

great project! what kind of clearances did you use for the detents in the groove and the mating holes?

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I just used 0.2mm, and 0.5mm for the clearance between the part bodies. I just modeled up the ball spring thing and gave everything 0.2mm clearance. It worked great.

[@MumrikDK]

That a tempting mechanic to use for something, but I really do wonder about the steel on plastic wear from the ball. I fear it'll make the locking positions really weak over time.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

ASA is pretty strong. I did think about that, but at the resting position, the ball is not really under tension, so it's happy to live there forever. It only sees some wear when you spin the tab. That doesn't happen very often, maybe a few times a week? I'll let you know if it fails, but the ball also spins, so the friction should be pretty minimal.

[@bami2]

20:38 why can't I hold all this hose?

[@RobertCowanDIY]

It was oddly difficult. It's relatively heavy and 20 feet is quite a bit.

[@sokofabco]

When designing parts for ASA, do you do anything to compensate for shrinkage? Generally, I design to size then scale 100.4% or 100.5% in slicer.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I didn't notice any issues, everything was spot on. The main mechanism was PLA and ASA, and I did nothing to compensate. Everything was printed on a Bambu X1C.

[@deziomakes]

This was great! I decided a while ago that I'm silently protesting any video that uses an "oh no!" face thumbnail. I suppose you got some feedback on that and perhaps I'm not alone in this fight. I'm really looking forward to seeing where your journey takes you.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Yeah, I do hate those too. BUT, I still can't make myself do 'full clickbait'. That would have been something like "stop doing this!" or "all your designs should have this" or something stupid like that. Consider subscribing if you want to see me 'try' to do clickbait wrong. ;--)

[@jadamsnz]

So basically you have a workshop to make things to organize your workshop... ;-)

[@RobertCowanDIY]

shhh......

[@scott3001]

Is that ASA-CF? It looks very nice and mat! Printed on Prusa XL? I really like this type of content on KZbin, love your channel! EDIT: I asked to soon, you say it a little later... ^^'

[@RobertCowanDIY]

ASA on the XL (even with an enclosure) is still a bit of a gamble. Everything was printed on X1C. Also, thanks!

[@huntliba]

Nice job m8! but it seems last part - thumbnail part didn't work out... not enough viewers after the upload?

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Yeah, the thumbnail test showed people preferred this one, not the hose clickbait ones.

[@Chaosghoul]

Super cool! But could you please stop tightening nuts with pliers? 😅

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Ha, I knew someone would say something. It's not ideal, but it worked.

[@kaiserruhsam]

thought the sd card story was going to end with sucking the debris out of the camera

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Ha. no. A 3HP dust collector would suck the camera into the hose. It needs some more delicate work.

[@AntoninKral]

uuu, I have even found a version with a switch built in. I definitely don't need them....

[@RobertCowanDIY]

OH, interesting.

[@mathieugallant6125]

I`m not certain if it`s youtube shoving this in our face or if it`s an option the creator selected when publishing your video, but I can`t access the english version.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Other people had that issue, but it seems to be fixed now.

[@m97120]

I don't know what's going on but I can't get the video to play in the original audio. It's only available in German, Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese automatic translations. What is going on???

[@m97120]

It works now. Weird.

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Huh. I usually schedule my uploads ahead of time, but due to the SD card issue, I just barely hit the deadline. Maybe it wasn't fully uploaded?

[@Mitch3D]

The most clickbait thing from this are those ball plunger detents!

[@berlinberlin4246]

For the English original audio: Go to the KZbin audio settings, and switch to English original audio track

[@RobertCowanDIY]

So strange, other people had this issue.

[@riba2233]

re the last scene, there must be a better way!!!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

haha, right?

[@riba2233]

Just needs b&w filter or benny hill music 😅

[@neddi0]

This is the first Video with a translated Audio Track in German, it sounds bad and boring... it looks stupid, because its not synched... Did you activated that "feature" ?

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I did nothing different. I've heard that from a few people and I'm sure what happened. My workflow was exactly the same.

[@TeslaSpain]

Great the Spanish language !

[@lazyman1011]

What’s going on with YT? I get a awful AI voice in my language instead of the original even if I switch to US. Edit: Solved! AppleTV mixed it up.

[@PeteCovert]

So... Do the clickbait thumbnails perform better?

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Nope. The one you see now won out, oddly enough. There is some hope in the world. Also, hey!

[@PeteCovert]

@ interesting. I’m always curious about this stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@lunaumbra5179]

All that effort and you didn't sand and paint the plywood??? No veneer on the outer edge?? You just put the camera in the trash??? Sounds like another project

[@RobertCowanDIY]

I actually did sand the plywood. I even used wood-filler on the voids, I just didn't show that. But this isn't a woodworking channel, I'm not going to veneer and stain something that doesn't need it ;-) And no, the camera didn't go in the trash, it's a couple grand, I just need to get it fixed.

[@lunaumbra5179]

@RobertCowanDIY my man! Maybe I misheard the post about the trash. But you were so close to perfection. I'm truly impressed you even filled the voids. You go all out when you go

[@Citizens-ip6jn]

the ai voiceover sounds terrible. Change it back from german to english. Much easier to follow and sounding much better ^^ Great Video and thanks for the ideas ^^

[@RobertCowanDIY]

Ha, I did nothing. I only recorded this in english and did nothing different.

[@Citizens-ip6jn]

@@RobertCowanDIY The problem is that KZbin activates the option automatically. It is active on many channels without the creators receiving proper information. But you can deactivate it in the settings. :)
