i love that woodworkers are finding value in 3d printers. in a lot of ways, Bambu Lab has done a service for the whole 3d printing community by making the actual printing side so much more accessible. i know a couple mechanical engineers that never bothered with 3d printing because it was a pain, but now they are making great designs and sharing those because the printing aspect is pretty trivial now with this new wave of user experience-focused machines starting with Bambu Lab.

Your comment on the print quality is exactly the genius behind both Makerworld and Printables. It’s a way of ensuring that there’s at least some sort of quality control behind 3D prints. As a 3D printing veteran (over 10 years), it’s so wonderful to see Bambu Labs finally break through that relatively steep learning curve entry barrier that kept so many makers away from the hobby! Great project and I’m so happy to see how quickly you took to 3D printing. It just means more power to the hobby as we continue to move forward 😊

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yup! Seeing how frustrated my friend was with tying to understand the slicer settings and all that with her machine really reinforced how I felt about Bambu and makerworld

[@matthagge4792]

I'm ridiculously happy that you're including 3D printing in your content and projects now. I've been convinced for years now that a 3D printer is one of the best tool additions to a shop. This MFT bench is fantastic! I'm probably going to pick up a few of your templates and make something similar. The MFT workflow is so space efficient, and I really love my tracksaw.

[@satibel]

stumbled on that video, really nice, love that you keep the mistakes in, imo the most important thing about woodworking is not to not make mistakes, but how to work around them. I think you might want to enclose that printer if you're gonna be using it in the wood shop, otherwise you'll end up with dust inside your prints and probably on the rails after a while, which they don't like. (also something I've not seen talked about much, you want your rails and bearings to be kept greased or oiled regularly, otherwise if it's pretty humid they can even rust) small tip: you can easily make captive magnets instead of gluing them, make a cylinder with tabs that have screw holes, make the hole to the diameter of your magnets+0.4mm, from the side where the magnet will attach and add a 0.2 or 0.4mm offset (1-2 layer height), and make it the magnet height+0.4mm and when slicing add a pause before the bridge layer so you can put your magnet in. (you could also leave it without a top if it's gonna be inserted) you can reuse the sketch and make a rectangle around it to make a router template for the inserts. I've had issues with gluing magnets with superglue as they tend to not stick well, captive magnets can't really unstick since they're screwed, and the magnets are also brittle so the plastic provides enough cushioning if you hit them.

[@tomwilson2804]

This is hands down amazing! There are a lot of creators that can come up with fabulous designs for their projects, but you are a level way above that: not only have you thought out the design of the piece itself, you've also basically invented custom parts that will fit whatever you happen to need, even if you didn't incorporate it in your initial plan AND you invent jigs that can be used in a thousand ways! Always enjoyable to see this level of innovation and problem-solving. Also: This is the most organic and most convincing product sponsorship I've ever seen in a video.

A good tip for MFT top holing is to start in the centre and work one way and then go back to the centre and work out the other way. This minimises any compound error that you may get which would make the end you finish at quite a bit out. Speaking from experience as I started at one end and my far end was a bit off!

[@johanballin6601]

I would scratch the template entirely and use either a CNC machine or UJK. A design this good deserves near-zero tolerance accuracy to make the holes truly useful. That makes it easier to assemble and build things like drawers and boxes that require high precision.

[@realgoose]

I was hoping for the STL of the larger hinge. Coming from someone who has been in the maker space for many years, it’s an expected risk that one person’s file/model printed on their machine may require additional print setting optimization to print on a different machine. I hope you consider selling the file. It’s better for your followers who are also makers, it’s better for the environment as shipping and packaging materials are not required, and even more people will be able to have your branded gear in their workshops to tell their friends about you. My advice is to not hold on too tightly to the idea of manufacturing your own product when that product’s selling point is that you, as a maker, were able to design and print it yourself. I would love to see your designs being printed on my Bambu X1C.

I love the video Tamar. You do an excellent job walking through your process and its a pleasure to watch you make functional works of art. As a novice "maker" I recently started down the 3d printer rabbit hole. I purchased a bambu labs A1S about 5-6 weeks ago.The learning curve for the 3d modeling software is real, but there are some really good youtube tutorials and using just a handful of commands I'm able to prototype and make widgets with very tight tolerances ( compared to what I can do with my hand power tools ) For anyone on the fence about 3d printing ... I highly recommend the bambu A1S. It worked out of the box. I did have some issues with prints not sticking to the print bed, but there was lots of information out there and simply washing the plate and increasing the temp by 5 degrees seems to have worked.

[@cocoxcocoa]

I know its super tempting to have the 3D printer in your workshop where you can monitor it all the time, but speaking from experience, 3D printers REALLY don't like dusty environments. The dust will hitch a ride on the filament into the printer, and over time will clog up the extruder, and cause some other not fun issues. At the very least, if you don't have anywhere else to put it, you should make a sealed enclosure for it. A good housing for your printer can even help improve its printing, as 3D printers like printing in heated enclosures, which will naturally happen as the heated print bed heats up the enclosure.

Nice bench design. Looks quite similar to Peter Millard's one. I know this video was sponsored by Bambu labs, but honestly it seems like one giant advert. All due respect, but if you are new to 3D printing and only have one model, how do you know it's on par with top end models? That is Bambu marketing, and not an honest opinion. In the interest of fairness, I would point out that quality variation is expected across different machine types, especially if they are not properly set up. The speed difference is not that dramatic - many printers can be set to print more quickly with the proper extrusion parameters. Bambu are like the Apple of 3D printing - they work great out of the box, but if anything goes wrong you are buying a new one rather than repairing it. I don't know whether you bought this with your own money, or whether they gifted it to you, but it would be good to make that clear, as others may not be aware that it's a non-serviceable printer that may be expensive to replace. It is true, however, that they offer one of the lowest-priced multi-filament printers on the market. No offence intended, but I started watching you for the woodworking. I don't mind the addition of other manufacturing methods to your portfolio, but I'm not about the 30 minute product advertisements.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

After designing this hinge I sent it off to multiple print farms with different types of machines. Bambu was the highest quality hands down.

Peter Millard has an excellent set of videos on MFTs and tracksaws. Even shows how to make the Stanton dog lock from ply.

[@NWGR]

"they work great out of the box, but if anything goes wrong you are buying a new one rather than repairing it." This is absolutely false. Bambu offers a ton of spare parts on their shop, as well as a comprehensive wiki showing how to replace most of the parts. They're definitely like the apple of the 3d printing landscape with how easy their printers are to use, and with an emphasis on user experience, but they're not nearly as locked down when it comes to the hardware.

[@realgoose]

@@RhysMogg second another comment below… Bambu offers many, many parts for repair direct from their website. Have you taken a look? And if there is anything else you need, just contact their support. I was an original Kickstarter supporter and my printer has been running perfectly since then. I have worked with their support for a couple errors that came up and they sent me parts with a wiki to complete the repair myself. Prices are very reasonable. Their software is open source and you can use any slicer you want. Also, there is a healthy modding community and Bambu seems to love to support their work. No warranties are broken by installing a mod. I recently completed a full third party upgrade to the multi color system (AMS) using all the guts from their original system. They still support their hardware, even in this alternative installation. Please do some more research and enjoy what you find!

Seems like?? It was.. one big giant ad. Like most of the other "content" by Tamar these days.

Lack of creativity AVERTED!!!! you did your thing. Love your creativity and how you consistently come up with new gadgets to improve shop time not just for you but for us all. Your excitement about 3d printing is contagious so have fun and keep sharing 🫡‼️👊🏿

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Hahah! ☺️☺️☺️ glad the enthusiasm I’m currently having for 3D printing is coming through the screen. I’m off to go print something else…

[@darylpruett5193]

Somewhat disappointing to see. I understand the desire to monetize large project(i.e. time) items, but to monetize each design item isnt what the 3D community is about. I guess it's nice the folks that put those benchdogs on Makerworld weren't chasing the buck.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

There’s a difference between a hobbyist and someone who does this for a living. All the people selling 3D printed items on Etsy are disappointing to you as well? This is my job, and I stand by that decision. Sorry you feel that way.

[@BespokeStorage-lt2hu]

@@3x3CustomTamar I support anyone following their dream - you have inspired my channel and hobby ! Well done. I may also look toward selling my designs. For what its worth - I have spent 6 months solid developing my skills on a CNC router and look forward to more!

Man such your righteous ass up. The only thing disappointing here is your comment. She designed it, she can do whatever the hell she wants with it.

[@barbarianatgate2000]

I really love this entire build! I've built a much larger MFT and had planned on making the hinge that Peter Millard designed. But some recent shifts in my project timetable meant needing something sooner that would allow me to hit the ground running without too much hassle. Then I came across this build and knew your hinge was exactly what I needed! Ordered it yesterday, and I can't wait to get it!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Awesome! Hope it works out for you!

[@chrisharrell2449]

I am so impressed with your design I have made my own a few years ago and my hinge is a double jointed hinge both at the front and the rear that enables you to never need to set the thickness of the material it just drops into place it saves a lot of time In setup.I Welded two fire door hinges together to achieve this as they have bearing hinges with no movement but you should have no problem 3D printing a similar thing, The rear hinge is attached to the back of the mft top but the front hinge uses two of the dog holes to keep it positioned so you can lift it out of the way completely when not in use so basically it's up against the wall and my workshop and the track is just stored vertically against the wall and pulled down when I want to make a cut. Also a lot of people get very annoyed with the holes in MFT's Losing screws and bolts through the holes, so I printed flush dogs With a lip on the top to set in the chamfer, To plug the holes when not in use if you can't get your hand underneath to pop them out print some that are hollow so you can glue some metal in the base so you can use a magnet to lift them out don't make the mistake I made of actually glueing magnets in them because every time I used any metal on the bench it pulled the dogs out.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Tamar........I am so proud of you (figuratively speaking)!!! I am thrilled to see you in your dream shop with new tools, sponsors and technology, because I still remember you starting out in your back garage with a bath curtain for a back drop. You were learning your craft and helping all of us to learn ours as well! Keep going Sister!! DD

So happy I’m not freezing in that shop anymore! I don’t know how I did that.

Thanks Tamar for being such an honest presenter in the woodworking world. I appreciate your candor as mistakes happen (& how you fix them). Your Bamboo 3-D printer name: “Johannes” after Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the printing press❣️

thank you for making the print files available, I have already bough my copy, and currently printing for my shop!!! Its a great product, you should be very proud!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Amazing!!! Have fun with it!

[@shawnschuldt5321]

This was great -- I want to add a MFT-like cross-cut capability, I've been shopping around and thinking about building my own. This idea of placing one on your workbench and storing out of the way is exactly what I need -- love this idea.

3D printing tip, best practice is to print your parts with the most surface area down for best part to bed adhesion so your part doesn’t accidentally come loose (lost a few prints over the years to not doing this, learned it the hard way!)

[@lizzytgolf1]

As always I watched your video until the end and felt like I learned enough to pay for the jig and hinge set up! Thanks for always showing me there’s another way to do things that can make woodworking easier 😊

[@stevestormssr5492]

This is the perfect idea for a garage workshop. The size couldn't be more fitting. I also love the storage option!

[@mjordan812]

I bought my first 3D printer (an Ender 3) because I wanted one, but had absolutely NO idea what I would do with it. A couple of years (and printers) later and I'm amazed at just how easy it is to sketch out a design for an alignment jig, tools for specific jobs on my motorcycles, quick & dirty repair parts for non-structural bits, and the occasional unicorn or dragon for a young cousin. An absolute game changer.

You went from knowing nothing about 3d printing straight to print in place hinges? Amazing! Love seeing people use their 3d printers for functional items that they have designed themselves. I just got a bambu labs carbon x1 printer this year and I have been printing nonstop as well.
