[@GigaVids]

order some polysmooth and reprint this it should look great

[@johnnybueti]

..this is actually my first time using someone's referral link during a promotion I didn't skip. Dude, thank you. I was looking for a service like this for a quite a while now. And I get an awesome video on the side. Subbed!

[@dextersxxxxlab]

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.

[@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!

[@chrisnelson1935]

He's gluing a cover over a bulb that's going to burn out

[@HouseRLS]

@@chrisnelson1935 I would have replaced that old bulb with a new LED one that will probably outlast the entire car.

[@ssavman]

The 1st one he printed was too short yall... the bulb has a twist lock socket to remove the socket and bulb from the lense. The lense came glued to begin with. What are all yall talking about right now😂

[@Coolfwip]

@@ssavman people that have never changed a bulb on their car

[@ipodtouchiscoollol]

@@ssavman they prob never owned cars with self serviceable parts. Cars these days are like phones if you break the cover for the head light sorry you are gonna have to replace both because the makers only make them in pairs now + you have to send it back to the factory for service otherwise it will void your warranty.

[@das_kashi]

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!?" 🤣

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@SJ-co6nk]

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

[@MistaBullas]

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

[@RudVanBrun]

And in Germany you would now go to jail (not really, but it's quite f'd up) because of an illegal part on your car without identification and type approval markings. Or like we say "erlöschen der Betriebserlaubnis" (expiring of operating licence - the federal approval paperwork which makes it legal to drive is void)

[@skloter]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ale6242]

Hm... not sure that would pass an MOT here in the UK with it being so cloudy. I'd probably have remelted in salt after covering on kapton tape. That will give you 100% Clear like glass prints.

[@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

[@leahsdreams]

Might have been a bit better to call a scrapyard instead of trying to source one directly from Hyundai...

[@ruben9912]

Reminded me very much of the 3d printed sandals. Well intended but perhaps not the best choice of subject given the solutions available out there.

[@mini696]

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[@j.tsessions3132]

Wow you guys missed the whole point of the video.

[@HammerandNeil]

Whoosh

[@birdmananyweather1681]

It would of taken more than 42 minutes to call and searching around a junkyard for a light cover .... And it was like a dollar worth of filament. Leaving the house vs not leaving the house. I think he made the right choice.

[@peterpeter5666]

im an auto tech for 38 years and im going to get into 3d printing soon. Gonna buy an x1c hopefully in a month or 2 . I love building things and getting into some basic cad design is my main interest. Thanks for video !

[@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!

[@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.

[@ZoltanHoppar]

I don't know what would happen, if you ask a 3d printer owners to print together a car chassis in parts - and build a complete car out of different plastics. Maybe open source microcar would be pretty interesting to see how fast can be a car printed.

[@BarfusWOW]

as someone who actually works in the car industry, there's about a million regulations this would fail

[@MarkNeugebauer-cr3pq]

You always make us smile. You are so engaging and personal You make us want to try things; BTW love the hair....and the glasses.

[@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.

[@everydayispain6121]

this is such a good video. I needed a headlight dust cap for my vw golf. However they wanted 20 dollars for a dust cap so i found one on thingyverse, printed it and it still works! its been 2 years!

[@gabrixmarx7797]

when Loki start to 3d print by himself stuffs for self- repair other stuffs! good job ;)

[@3DJapan]

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

[@HatleyReviews]

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

[@DeanG55]

Hey! Deano here from Napa Valley, CA USA. I Love the very subtle ( not!!) segway into the Harry's commercial endorsement. LOL It caught me completely off guard (not!!) I absolutely love your videos. I am starting from your latest posted and binge watching. Keep them coming. I would also like to see more kitty and doggie shots!!

[@creativepm9437]

I was thinking of also using the 3d printed piece as a mold for a vacuum forming piece.

[@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. 😂

[@MakerCuisine]

Good call in the 3d printing, i think it came out great and you saved a lot of time and money too

[@lukesurtees2211]

Morley, you my friend, have the skills!! Congrats

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@lamMeTV]

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

[@FoxwoodCreative]

Always good to see your 3D printing videos ! And all the others to be fair!

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 😁👍

Well done man. We are in the same city and hope to cross paths one day. Your personality (optimism and can do -anything) is a great one. Keep it up!

[@marsrover001]

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

[@jmastaice]

I think the point of the video is that 3D printing is viable to make useful things rather than just fidget toys. Thanks for the video!

[@ozespresso]

Good Video Morley, and happy printing!

I love that you are 3-D printing useful things for your car, but I personally would’ve just gone to a junkyard instead.

Great video and segue into commercial. : ) I love these videos showing the practicality of a 3D printer. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@ayylmao.mp3]

Also there is this one magical ancient secret technique that our modern 3d scanning photo-op brains keep forgetting called PEN AND PAPER. You'd need to make a hole for the bulb, but you could get the exact outline drawn out just by placing a piece of paper against the blinker and lightly brushing the edge with the pen. Then lay the paper flat with a ruler and just trace the outline in CAD.

[@Ernzt8]

There is always a reason why Fusion 360 errors at fillets. In this case I believe it was touching the bulb part when it was 4 mm or bigger. Annoying, I agree :)

[@madnlooney]

I bet the speed of the X1C helps lots when doing your community ad-hoc repair videos

[@glennryzebol4472]

Hey Morley I noticed you using Instant Bond CA glue. I am currently using a different brand called Mitre Bond but noticed the other day that the brand you`re using is significantly less expensive. Does it work pretty good? Considering switching. This video is great. This is the sort of thing i would get a 3D printer to do, over the usual figures and knick knacks that some folks go for.. Gotta say though, i`m not keep on the likely learning curve involved with learning to use Fusion 360. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Happy Easter to you and yours.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks! Honestly, it's the only brand of CA glue/activator that I've used. I can't recommend it over any other brand.

[@Mattittas]

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? :)

[@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?

[@ErickBuildsStuff]

It should be a clear plastic print instead of a white one. This violates road norms of dispersing the indicator light till certain distance. In Germany it would have not been approved. May be just try printing in a clear filament or a clear resin printer. It might look little fogged but passable.

[@vegardjohannessen2153]

Love these types of videos 👍

[@SportyPompano]

2:52 I find it interesting how you shaved, not that its bad or anything, but i just had a realization that many people probably shave alot different then i. I dont normally watch people shave but it was there haha. You shave from one side to the other, when i do, i section it off. Cheeks first, then under my chin, then the side burns, then the mustache area, then the under lips area, and finally the chin. Then i go back over one more time if i missed anything lol.

[@GIKAO77]

Now make another one (mirrowed) for the other side. seems like the 3D printed one makes the light brighter (can't explain in english ^^)

[@Tandberg91]

I would have changed the bilb at least before gluing it on, but great job👍There is also some methods to get it more transparent. Would probably have removed the other one to see how it is attached, in case you need to replace the bulb in the future

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

I think warming the part up and letting it conform to the curve of the mating piece could have been a good idea rather than having the glue fight stresses in the plastic as it tries to straighten.

[@Zack_262]

High school STEM days are flashing through my mind

[@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.

[@d.p.9567]

Nice idea, but FDM is the wrong printing method. Water will penetrate the layers. With resin print and clear enamel, the print would be as clear as the original and waterproof and much stronger.
