We just bought a cabin cruiser. Already saw some flaws that will be in need of some 3d design and printing work. Walkthrough windshield endstopper when opened, swimladder tpu u block to keep it from going out. Now held by a strapper. And pretty sure more will follow. 3d printers are very usefull.

0:39 wow what an honest man on that phone call. I wish everyone was able to be that honest with customers

[@k4_mi1]

5:37 It's not failing for no reason, it's failing because the fillet would intersect with the bulb extrusion causing interfering features.

[@jasonhowardak]

Thats the same thing I was thinking when he said that

[@ge2719]

really though thats a pretty easy situation for the program to resolve. it should just fillet the outer egde further, then the upper fillet should be extended down so that it meets the lower/outer fillet surface. essentially what it would do if he did them in the opposite order. Rather than just not working at all, it should bring up a warning, with maybe some options for how to handle the collision.

[@Horendus123]

I was thinking the same thing

[@CaptainNomae]

@@ge2719 yeah I mean their whole fillet thing is broken still, even besides just that feature not being present. I've had fillets not just fail but like completely destroy the part geometry if applied and have also gotten bits of geometry where I'm hesitant a fillet will work but it works fantastic so idk it's mostly just luck.

[@sislak]

You should put the first one you printed on the other side so they match!

below the percentage when scaling in Bambu Studio there's a box with absolute scale in mm where you could've just added the 4mm 😂

[@davide.ercolano]

I precisely thought, "Why doesn't he just use the field with the measurement!?" 🤣

[@RestNPizza]

Nice job. Only thing I'd do different is use some clear rtv silicone to attach instead of ca glue. Might be difficult to change the bulb now if it ever goes out.

[@russellkittenwahlberg8832]

thinking the same thing

[@bridgetl.303]

Not many people realize that CA glue is water soluble. Eventually the glue will fail - hopefully at the time a bulb change is needed. Silicone sounds like a better adhesive to me as well.

[@20vK]

Just an idea - some spray lacquer may have improved the transparency to better match the original. Not sure if UV degradation is an issue for the part you printed, but some lacquers also include UV protection. Great quick job you did there though!

[@justiciaparaespana7236]

You can print it again XD You don't need to waste time waiting for an spare.

[@CrimsonRepair]

Since you've got the X1C with AMS, try using PLA as a support material for PETG and it will come away without any prying at all

[@TheBookaroo]

Hi, nice video, one thing you could try for transparent plastic is to increase the extrusion factor by 25% it makes it more transparent since there is less gaps between layers and perimeters… Also I had a laugh seing you calculate the factor for matching the part to the actual size, just under where you were entering the factor you had the option to enter it in millimeters ! Thank you.

I'm in the car industry in Ontario and 2-4 weeks is not uncommon... keep up the awesome work! Always a fun watch.

3d prints that become part of your life forever are the best. I've had a bunch of opportunities to make some like that, and it's really fulfilling knowing you're using this thing you created every single day.

[@BasedBidoof]

You should check out compound joint pliers. They multiply your grip input, super nice for support material removal. I got a needle nose pliers to try it out, ended up getting side cutters and normal pliers too. Cons: bigger, less jaw opening per hand input, not cheap(but what good tools are?) I love your iterative workflow

[@skloter]

I love your vibe man. Failing with a smile is something we should all learn to do! Keep these up!

[@scottgriz]

This is my favorite use for my 3D printer. I've fixed all sorts of things around the house. It's so satisfying. Nice work.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Look good for under 1 hour! Coming from the hobby industry the chrome plated plastic parts often need to have the chrome removed (sander/scraped) for better adhesion, especially with CA glue.

[@HarleyCaplin]

9:00 - when scaling something in the slicer, you can just change the measurement in millimetres using the box below which saves you having to work out the percentage increase/decrease. This just save s a bit of time if you know how much bigger/smaller you want to make it.

[@jeffking6672]

I got into 3D printing because I couldn't get parts to fix my older side by side. I use FreeCad though, so the frustration factor is somewhat higher for the software. You can generally get a much clearer product with PETG if you print hotter and slower, but the supports will be harder to remove and stringing is more of an issue. Also, removing the cover on the other side to see how the original lens locked into place and building that into your print if possible would have made changing the bulb should it become necessary less of an issue than you'll have with the glued on lens cover. Well made video, and I'm jealous of your printer.

[@Neomaster67]

Have you tried using PLA for the support material for PETG? The two different materials don't bond very well, so removing supports would be easier. Also works in reverse if your part is in PLA.

[@TheSkepticSkwerl]

I recently learned to give your support material a 0.2mm gap above it or so, and you have almost no problem pulling the supports off, as well as basically no problems in the print. it's super awesome

[@ElderSilverFox]

Classic Morley video right here. The ol "need to fix something with 3D printing" It is one of your early videos like this that finally pushed me to buy a printer! I would love to see you do short videos on how to use need to know Fusion functions because that halted my momentum since I couldn't quite get where I wanted. I used Tinker cad but it is limited and makes your prints blocky.

[@MorleyKert]

Check out “Learn fusion 360 in 30 days” by product design online on KZbin! That’s how I learned 99% of my fusion knowledge

[@peterpeter5666]

[@chargerman426]

I 3d printed lenses for the side marker light on my 71 dodge dart and was able to put my logo imbedded in the lenses so it shows when lit up. Very cool stuff.

[@3DJapan]

Paint a few layers of varnish like Polycrylic on that and I bet it goes total transparent.

[@DiscBelief]

Great Video and Love the idea of being able to print your own part for your car. Not sure why you stopped the timer for the printer however. It is something thats part of the whole deal and still very impressive, time doesn't stop for printing , that's all I'm saying.

[@matthewhixson3735]

I love your knowledge and passion. I found your video wanting to know if a 3D printer could reproduce interior plastic parts for a 1988 Dodge Ramcharger. Pieces would be anywhere from 18-24" approximately. Impossible to find for the most part, but there are many Dodge truck lovers who want to restore their cracked interior panels. Great work!

[@partsdave8943]

I do the EXACT same thing with Filets. When it won’t work on a normal number then I start going by tenths. 😀 At least I’m not the only one! And you’ve future proofed a replacement for the opposite side. 😂

[@ge2719]

5:50 the fillet cant go any further because otherwise it will try to curve down a surface that is being used as a startin poing for another fillet. i think in this case you could have done the fillets int he opposie order, the outer one first, then the inner one the fillet would have met with the already filleted surface. but in general fillets and bevels stop working because it cant physically go any larger and be able to perform the change. or at least not in a way where it knows what you want it to do exactly, so you would often have to cut up sections of the object and add bevels and fillets in the way you want them to go.

[@everydayispain6121]

just print it up side down. The fillets should give enough area too built off of if you have appropriate cooling

[@MrKretzsches]

Did you really glue it on, before you tested if the bulb is bright enough to shine through? Great video, I want more 3D printing stuff!

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

Hahaha yeah I was like wtf... You haven't tested it yet but then it worked so yeah... To be fair I haven't printed with that filament yet so I don't know what it's like.

[@mac2708]

You da man👍 your ingenuity is impressive my friend. Keep creating 🙏

[@justoneofthesheep]

If you had printed it with a super thin wall thickness so there is no infill, you would be able to spray paint it with clear lacquer inside and outside and the clear PETG would go basically see though like glass. That is unless you are using frosted ''clear'' PETG then it would still be slightly frosted but would still be super transparent compare to the one you made in this video which is basically milky white. :)

[@HatleyReviews]

Thumbs up, although with the CA glue, good luck changing the bulb now.- probably should have changed the bulb before

[@tylers4645]

Always love to see real 3D printing rapid prototyping applications. Definitely recommend updating your model rather than using a slicing software to scale a model, your modeling software holds tighter tolerances and sometimes scaling your part can affect it in different ways depending the geometry. But quick enough changes get ya by sometimes.

[@ksredsfan]

love the videos and the creativity you have always entertaining to watch Thanks Morley

[@Tomazack]

That bulb itself looked like it had seen better days.. Might be an idea to replace it to get it to blink orange, or at least top up the blinker fluid.

[@bongmuon]

How long did the cover stay on? We don't use CA glue on exterior parts in places with salt in winter because it will make the glue fail.

[@ozespresso]

Good Video Morley, and happy printing!

[@NwoRun]

Thanks Mom! Great Video!

[@fabioarrua]

9:11 no need to calculate a factor... just add the mm's in the X axis. as for getting clear as possible, print on glass with the exterior part touching the plate... it will give a glass finish. You may just want to change the dome to a more flat surface in order to take advantage of a glass hotbed finish . Great designing skills.

[@xavierong1283]

The fillet did not fail for no reason. you have a spline section which caused a invalid geometry once then 4mm fillet is applied.

[@MorleyKert]

It would be great if fusion adjusted the parameters of the fillet to avoid a failure, or was just a little more robust in dealing with complex geometries.

[@erebostd]

Since it would be illegal to use a non tested cover on the car here (legal reasons) i would have visited a junkyard i guess. I think an hour is hard to best, but i might habe done it, too. Great work 😁👍

[@fuzzy34r]

Thats fantastic! Would it be possible to make it completely transparent like the original one?

[@glittalogik]

'Transparent' PETG will never be clear as glass or injection-moulded plastic, but there are a few tricks: *Printing* - wider nozzle, thicker layers, going as hot as the filament can handle, and 'ironing' every layer (I think Superslicer supports this, not sure about other software) *Post-processing* - sanding/polishing, epoxy resin clearcoat, and/or _careful_ heat treatment with a regular heat gun. Chemical smoothing in a solvent bath is technically an option but PETG needs pretty gnarly chemicals for that so I wouldn't recommend it.

[@Woodworkingfan23]

Maybe I am missing something, but with that CA glue how will you change the bulb now that it’s stuck?

[@deadly_dave]

The bulb should replace from the rear of the housing. You are not meant to be able to get into that part. I like fixing stuff with 3D printing but this is sadly not a suitable example. The plastic is not clear enough, the 'chrome' paint that is used to reflect the light from the bulb is damaged and needs repair and the water seal around the unit is now broken, allowing for moisture to destroy the bulb, 'chrome' paint and any raw metal that might have been behind the unit. I could have driven to my local scrap yard in about 15 mins (so lets call it a 30+5 min round trip) and could have fixed the issue faster with a better end result. It would have cost a few €'s more but would have been worth it. I understand Morley needs to make content and I did enjoy the video, but practically speaking this is a bad idea, don't do it.

[@kentasp9053]

Did the light go trough the plastic when you use the signal?

[@darekmistrz4364]

8:50 why the mental gymanstics with measuring, calculating etc when you can literally see the length in the scaling popup and can add 4mm to 145.53mm?

Great functional project! Just to comment on the slicer scaling: I'm fairly certain you can just add 4mm to the X value instead of having to scale it in %? Concidering the value was in a text box just beneath the scale percentage? :)

I would have removed the other side and either 3d scanned or flatbed scanner it. Then print both sides mirrored so they match.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great job. It's very useful to have a 3D printer and knowing how to design in Fusion 360. Making the mistake of printing out the other side, you straight answered my question if left and right are the same. You saved yourself a lot of time (waiting) and probably also money. You did not count the printing time, why not? In most countries cars have to go for a technical inspection every year or every two years. Sometimes the people at the inspection are real nit-pickers and they will not allow a 3D-printed part. But if that is not a problem in your town, you can offer the light-covers for sale. Do you know, why the original one fell off? Has it been helped by somebody? How does CA-glue hold in strong frost and/or when the sun is burning on it all day?
