3D Printing for HOMELAB? 45Drives HL15 + Craft Computing!

[@G2bb101]

Whoever at LTT decided they should send out screw drivers to every maker/tech related channel deserves a raise, it is impossible to avoid

[@Doogleraia]

Linus doesn't need a raise

[@technicavivunt]

We got to build them at LTX! Now that was some genius marketing!

[@SquintyGears]

Apart from a few content creators that have directly colaborated with them they didn't send screwdrivers. People have genuinely bought them and decided to use them. The few people who received them specially got the regular black with a custom colored ring insert, GamersNexus, level1techs, jayztwocents and a few more i can't remember. That full colored handle had to have been purchased.

[@shaunlavoie6183]

And they make a screwdriver extension now too!

[@SenZubEanS]

Unexpected Cross-Over of 2 channels I follow... Always a pleasure when these things transpire!

[@slinkytrips]

You will want to print the parts from ABS, PLA is quite bad for static and with the fans blowing over them there is a high chance of a build up of static electricity. With the drives plugged in they should be grounded over the cable but it can arc when you unplug them.

[@ronnetgrazer362]

Conducting or metal-detector triggering PLA? Might help with the shielding, at least.

[@razredge68]

For a fully built model, the price is comparable to other NAS solutions. But for the chassis and backplane only model, it's way over priced for what little you're getting.

[@Scriven42]

The Bob & Doug Mckenzie...... So Good.

[@acubley]

I have not heard that sound in 2 decades... :-)

[@FranklyPeetoons]

Excellent & entertaining cross-promotion. Well-did.

[@Tappotuoppi]

45Drives really hits home with these servers. Might just need one of those in my own network too.

[@pezliz]

Hey! I am from Nova Scotia, Canada! Awesome!!

[@TheNetworkingGuy]

Liz!!!! I have to say I didn't expect to see you in these comments lol

Proper storage and work flows are a lifesaver, congratulations on the new hardware and I hope it makes your life easier.

[@Jetta4TDIR]

Been watching Jeff for a while and came here from his video. I took it as a sign... I've been wanting to get into 3d printing for a loong time and I've been looking at purchasing my first printer and now i have the opportunity to. Ill be keeping an i on this channel. Thanks for the push😂

[@WilliamComartin]

As a Canadian I really appreciate the Bob & Doug Strange Brew reference.

[@TheNetworkingGuy]

Absolutely FLAWLESS VIDEO!!!!

[@T313COmun1s7]

Why oh why did you then put black zip ties back in the case for cable management? You can purchase them in all different colors, including blue.

[@AlexKidd4Fun]

All Blue might be tacky. Now it's "two tone" and looks sweet! 😎

[@Deathkloud]

Great white north reference, excellent. Take off hoser

[@Polarzbek]

So cool! Two of my favorite content creators and two of my hobbies! Cheers!

[@legacyofbob]

This is great. I have a small FreeNAS + Plex server that is in desperate need of updating. Now we just need to be able to 3D print the chassis and perhaps even a rack?!

[@SPLaholic]

seeing Jeff without beer was kind of weird. lol. Good video though. I really want a couple HL15s. but a pink LTT screwdriver. wow.

[@TripodsGarage]

Great video! I love practical prints! I recently implemented a 60TB NAS in my workflow, it is a lifesaver.

[@CarAudioInc]

I love these two creators, great colab!

[@K-politic]

love to see collabs like this.

Can you 3d print a 3d printer with a 3d printer

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Yes

[@ocarontigerblood1111]

need to extend the ssd and make a cap for the hdd so they match

[@TheJensss]

Someone should make a completely 3d printed 45drives case with support for standard atx motherboards and no backplane.

[@Kosh42EFG]

Nice colab. And both people I normally watch!

[@siberia21]

Good Solution and Servers are mostly ugly form the Outside. Good interaction from you two!

Awesome video Joel! Im headed over to Jeffs channel to subscribe now and check the rest out. I got a pihole setup at my house but I been wanting to get a server setup as well. Really cool I can print and customize this one 💯

[@brandonbrooks2845]

Great video eh, thanks you hosers!

[@alexcavalcanticosta1585]

First of all, I'll let you know that it has nothing to do with the channel, it's just a rant about the world of 3D printing. Today, I bring a different perspective on 3D printers, based on the research I carried out. I came to a conclusion that I would like to share. I have a comment about the world of 3D printing, which, contrary to what some say about accessibility, is still a world for few. Despite the criticism I may receive for this, I believe that although printers have become more affordable, there is still a long way to go before they become an achievable dream for many people, including myself. It's not just the initial cost of the printer that must be considered. An often overlooked point is the ongoing cost of the filament. Just like in the early days of inkjet printers, where the price of ink was an obstacle, today we face similar challenges with filament. Even though printers have become a little cheaper, filament remains a considerable investment. It is notable that over the years we have not seen a significant reduction in filament prices. There appears to be a lack of real competition, resulting in companies setting prices almost like a monopoly. Filament quality is also a concern, with reports of poor quality not justifying the investment. Another aspect that is rarely addressed is the amount of material wasted due to unsuccessful prints, especially for beginners. Even though errors decrease over time, they do not disappear completely. This is a relevant point to consider, as it contributes to additional costs and not to mention environmental issues. That's why I say it and I repeat, cast the first stone if anyone who has never been through this, even with vast experience, still continues to print with errors and has to do it all over again, no matter the printer or your knowledge, there will be errors and as a result waste of material and input costs. what do we need and start thinking about this issue, well the filament should be cheaper, it would help the person who bought it and nature thanks you. antes de qualquer coisa ja aviso que não tem nada a ver com o canal é apenas um desabafo sobre o mudo das impressões 3d Hoje, trago uma perspectiva diferente sobre impressoras 3D, baseada nas pesquisas que realizei. Cheguei a uma conclusão que gostaria de compartilhar. Tenho um comentário sobre o universo da impressão 3D, que, ao contrário do que alguns afirmam sobre a acessibilidade, ainda é um mundo para poucos. Apesar das críticas que posso receber por isso, acredito que, embora as impressoras tenham se tornado mais acessíveis, ainda há um longo caminho para que se tornem um sonho alcançável para muitas pessoas, incluindo eu mesmo. Não é apenas o custo inicial da impressora que deve ser considerado. Um ponto muitas vezes negligenciado é o custo contínuo do filamento. Assim como no início das impressoras a jato de tinta, onde o preço da tinta era um obstáculo, hoje enfrentamos desafios semelhantes com o filamento. Mesmo que as impressoras tenham ficado um pouco mais baratas, o filamento continua sendo um investimento considerável. É notável que, ao longo dos anos, não tenhamos visto uma redução significativa nos preços do filamento. Parece haver uma falta de concorrência real, resultando em empresas que estabelecem preços quase como um monopólio. A qualidade do filamento também é uma preocupação, com relatos de baixa qualidade que não justificam o investimento. Outro aspecto pouco abordado é a quantidade de material desperdiçado devido a impressões mal sucedidas, especialmente para iniciantes. Mesmo que os erros diminuam com o tempo, não desaparecem completamente. Este é um ponto relevante a considerar, pois contribui para custos adicionais e sem falar das questões ambientais. por isso falo e repito , atire a primeira pedra quem nunca passou por isso ,mesmo com uma vasta experiência, ainda continua imprimindo com falhas e teve que fazer tudo de novo , não importa a impressora ou seu conhecimento , vai haver erros e como consequência desperdício de material e gastos com insumos. o que precisamos e começar a pensar sobre esta questão , poxa bem que o filamento deveria ser mais barato , ajudaria a pessoa que comprou e a natureza agradece.

Hi jeff! Its cool to hear your on a different set of mics... cant say if there are better or worse... yours are more bass heavy .... but the qualicty of both are great! just different

[@ralmslb]

2:30 45Drives and everyone should stop saying the HL15 is for an home lab, its not. And mostly because of the price, is incredibly expensive for any home user unless you are rich. Specially considering you can have the same exact experience with a Fractal Define R case. Update: For the ones not aware, the empty chassis (no MB, CPU, Ram, HBAs, etc) with only the backplane (which in reality you don't need in an home scenario), costs 800 $USD.

[@chomp7927]

a half assed back plane at that. You can save $660 bucks and skip the back plane and get a rosewill with free shipping that will also house 15 disks internally, or go all out and get much sexier and capable cases from other vendors like silverstone loaded with features and more drive bays for the same price

[@LiqdPT]

Dug the VOLTRON reference...also the LTT SD.

[@Mupshot]

curious what percentage of your audience know Bob and Doug McKenzie? and then to close with RAID is not backup. classics

[@kharmastreams8319]

Better and cheaper option would be a used Supermicro 36-bay chassis. I think the HL15 is too little for too much imho

[@chomp7927]

I mentioned this on Techno Tim's video about this case and how for the value it's not worth it for a home lab setup that you have to build up anyways. Way too much money for no front IO, no access to drives without unracking, no rack rails, the back plane isn't full speed for every port, if you use the designed slots for the 2.5 drives they are literally sideways infront of the fans blocking them (other cases don't do that), I could go on but this is just not a good option for $800 compared to the rest of the market for home lab use cases. Needless to say his viewers didn't like that, hell he even posted in the thread calling me names when in his own paid advertisement, oh I mean totally unbiased YT video that just happened to come along with over 2 grand worth of free gifts, he mentioned that there was nothing else on the market like this and it was the best option out there. At least here Joel and Crafted didn't try and lie about what it is, props for a more honest video, getting harder to find those these days when every other video someone gets thousands in free stuff and still pretends like they were not paid and there's no bias.... For real homelab use there are way more valuable options from SuperMicro, SilverStone, hell even Rosewill and used commercial servers can bring more to the table for $800 than HL can.

[@alin.danila]

@@chomp7927 My toughts exactly. Watched this after watching the “build” video on his channel where it’s just an obvious masked plug for HL15. 800$ for the case alone it’s nuts !

[@rcmaniac25]

RAID IS NOT A BACKUP... say it louder for the people in the back. Awesome to this, especially since a friend picked one of these up a month(?) or so ago for use in their home lab. I like this, not just because practical prints, but because it's yet another case of "here's a company that sells a product and 3D printed parts are appropriate and fine". I understand injection molding and such "take something from a hobby to a product" and "it's so much more efficient and cheaper to injection mold" but that's not always true. You need to hit that proper cost/modification amount before you can get to them. One of my favorite moments was seeing an office email saying the fancy $10k coffee maker broke... and then the repair man shows up (because those machines require maintenance contracts), opens the thing up, and inside... were a bunch of 3D printed brackets and the part that actually holds the brewing component (a metal cup grounds go in, pressed by a paddle, pressurized water injected over the grounds, etc.)... that holder was 3D printed (appeared to be PETG or ABS) and had cracked, so some grounds spilled, it wasn't pressing the grounds down, etc. The next day, he showed up with a new 3D printed part... and machine was repaired and back in business. If someone wants to complain that some company needs to "modernize" with injection molded parts, I casually gesture towards the "artisanal" coffee machines that use 3D printed parts instead of injection molding. My guess, since the machines are imported, is that by utilizing a 3D printer they can localize repairs/replacements of the machine.

[@icmann4296]

Did 45 Drives provide the files for the parts, and do they do that for everyone or only you guys because you were marketing for them?

[@3DPrintingNerd]

In the video I talked about going to Printables to get the files
