Building custom 3D printing furniture

Filament shelves and a huge 3D printer enclosure built while renovating the filming studio. Custom-designed furniture and lots of 3D-printed parts.
I'm still working on sharing the cable cover 3D print STL files.

If this vid doesn't show why 3D printers are a must have in any DIY enthusiasts arsenal then I don't know what does.

The new Furniture looks great! ..I like how the "mushroom" cable cap turned out 😎

[@matroosoft4589]

Really love that cable entry that you and your brother came up with! With the first two iterations I was like meh.. But the last cover really finished it! Looks like a product that you could buy somewhere.🙂

[@johnmoore5593]

No one: Mihai: *knows about washers in the casters for a table in his house*

[@johnmoore5593]

Just so you know, you have encouraged me to design useful things for my own house and family. Just yesterday, I designed and printed a skirt for a table in my house where my kids toys would get lost underneath. When I do little projects like that, I finally feel like the maker I've wanted to be. Thanks Mihai

[@MyMGBJourney]

Makes super fancy holder for power strips.... Uses two screws in the back to mount LED power supply.... and to hold up LED strips... Then makes super fancy covers for the L brackets while getting hit in the head with bracketless LED strips. 😆🤣 I do love the video though! 👍

[@3D_Printing_Lab1]

Your videos are awesome, can't wait to see the new printers unboxed 😊

[@MihaiDesigns]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@adili9427]

Do some more long form videos like this (get some sponsors to make it worthwhile time/money wise for you) I love these videos as I feel I live my productivity vicariously through you 😅

[@JakobDam]

So inspiring! You managed to utilize that little space so well!

wow that snap transition was super smooth

[@zsanime]

All that we need to know. MORE SPACE FOR FILAMENT)))) Awesome project.

[@KyleJamieson]

Oh my! Super keen on the files for those cable covers. If could could release parametric ones so we could edit to custom hole saw sizes 🙏

[@francoislebois]

That filament library is incredible man, I have like 12 different colors and it already feels like so many, I can't imagine how many you have😂

[@FoxwoodCreative]

I really enjoyed this video thank you. looking forward to watching more!

[@OOPS_CREATIONS]

[@georgeelliott294]

this video is amazing made me so jealous ant wait for the unboxings

[@treidprint]

I like your idea of putting all the printers in a closed cabined. Very neat job. Looking forward for the reviews.

[@markstevensfpv3722]

Really enjoying these longer videos!! 👊

[@_Piers_]

Those cable hole covers are a great design!

[@lmaoroflcopter]

Hole saws really struggle with "chips" and can seem like it barely cuts as a consequence. It's good to drill a hole in the circumference of the hole you're drilling to allow clearance of the wood that it's sawing through. So you drill the small starter hole, let the outside of the hole saw touch. Then drill another small hole lined up for the edge of the hole saw. Then resume drilling using your previous hole as a guide. That way the cut material clears the saw teeth on each revolution.

[@DenRoedeMogM]

I really love your commentary... makes me smile... 🙂 Stay awesome..

[@Baer1990]

5:40 pro trats, I love it 😎

[@dumbdesigns4941]

I need that hole saw kit!!

[@AnnaVannieuwenhuyse]

I bet the glue on the aluminium strip kept coming off due to the heat from the LED's. Even just a little can make some tape come loose from smooth surfaces like melamine

[@Sttreg]

btw, i really like these kind of videos ! I hope you'll continue !

[@Pr0toc01]

Those cable hole grommets are BRILLIANT! Hoping you do end up sharing.

[@CerusTF]

Top notch content! Enjoyable format and good editing :D

[@arerosl]

My solution would be to use silicone to attach that led aluminum strap/radiator - did that for my ikea kitchen lights after the original tape failed after like 2h of usage - still attached after 2years now

[@davidedwards9157]

I've found that, when I start with a painted or glossy surface, wiping down the surface with alcohol does wonders for improving adhesion (probably getting rid of leftover oils from the manufacturing process). Acetone will also work, but it'll screw up paint and the room will smell like acetone.

[@ikmalxhakim4419]

Mihai -"There's another" Immediately thought of Yoda in Star Wars, saying the same to Obi-Wan Kenobi about Leia 😆

[@blackmcbwhite2996]

Greats video! A blast to watch :) where do you send your failed prints to recycling?

[@saddle1940]

I think your double sided tape was failing because the aluminum strip got hot. The same thing will occur if the entire cabinet is heated. It'll probably happen again either side of your bolt. I'd suggest short self-tapping screws.

[@maximpopusoi8434]

Foarte misto. Mi-am facut si eu un setup similar pentru workshopul meu acasa.

[@raDius_McFly]

A longer Mihai video is always good entertainment! Where do you recycle those failed prints??

[@Burkeburg]

The word for the wood support stick is dowel. Comes from the French doelle

[@kronkie131]

you could also use repracks for filament

[@Nacimota]

To be honest, I don't think the aluminium backing for the LED strips is even necessary. Ideally, you want to under-run LEDs a little bit if possible to extend their lifespan, but even at full power most adhesive LED strips shouldn't require special heat dissipating backing (at least in my experience, anyway). If the non-wood screws fail and the strips come down again, I would consider redoing them without the aluminium, which would also give you a chance to fix the messy end if you're so inclined (also, consider heatshrink instead of loads of electrical tape and silicone 😛). Not sure how I feel about those aluminium extrusions, but everything else is great 👍. I particularly love the inserts you made for the power holes, and I agree with your brother's second design being my favourite as well, it's very slick.

[@3DPrintingGeek1]

Holy this is 3d printing paradise man!! I wish I could live there!! I would love to have 2 - 3 3d printers rather than 1 ender 5 s1..

[@JulianTheHunter]

Good adult talk strategy 😂

[@junoestro]

you could put two lines of the adhesive gasket per shelf layer which puts the spools between the two so they cant roll around. similar to the idea of having a spool sit between two dowels.

[@ge2719]

double sided adhesive doesnt work well under hot conditions. so the lights heat up the aluminium and the weight of the metal will make it fall off. LED strips themselves are light enough that the adhesive on them is less likely to fail, but something like an aluminium strip you wont get it to stay up with double sided tape. unless its a specialist one that rated to work at hotter temps

[@torymiddlebrooks]

It gets increasing chaotic as it goes from plans to contact with the enemy and I felt kinship.

[@3DimensionalCanadian]

That was a really fun video, must've taken a lot of editing. Very nice work and a quality setup. I'm always surprised at the size of European 220v outlets, our 110v outlets in Canada are very small and they put them on anything, I have a desk lamp with two 110v outlets on it and a tower outlet bar with 12 outlets. They even put a couple outlets on top of our electric ovens. I'm always jealous of the amount of filament you have, are they mostly from sponsorships? Do you have a storefront? I'd love to see a video on your business and how you make a living. Take care! From NS, Canada 🇨🇦

[@Creative_Electronics]

Nice video :)

[@MihaiDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kiwikemist]

Instead of the gasket you should build custom RepRacks for the shelves

[@NATY1110]

love your brother's Ideas! will you share the files?

[@Doogleraia]

Maybe a TPU cover would seal it up nicely so no air goes in/out there

[@nophead]

Yes I printed some split rubber bungs that go over cables and then push into a hole so you get a fume proof seal around the cable.

[@SmashingBricksAU]

Nice design of the cable covers, are you posting them somewhere??

[@giangquangvinh6487]

i would love to receive the files of the parts that fits in the hole

[@versus023]

Awesome video! Would you share you 3d file for the hole cover? I was thinking of designing one, but yours is great. Thanks.

[@Da-Real-Gigachad]

It might be a good idea to remove the door since you have so little space.

[@shawnmcelroy1829]

these cabinets look nice. Where are they from to buy?

[@SmashingBricksAU]

What material are you making the parts from? The finish looks really good

[@TheButchersbLock]

Great video mate. What was the total start to finish time about a week? 👍🇦🇺😊

[@hologos_]

Mihai: No one's gonna know. In my head: *They're gonna know meme voice* 😀

[@Hilmi12]

The heat is what is causing the tape to fail

[@fluppir]

Thanks for sharing, fun video! Tell me, I am guessing the grunt of your work on the 3D printing is not the furry animals you make right? You have so much stock so I was wondering if you have a big printing business outside of what you show here? Keep them coming, really enjoy your videos!!

[@nielswyler8537]

Hello, would it be possible that you share the files for the cover to run the câbles please ?

[@BoozyWoozy]

The aluminum bar peels off because the LED strip heats up the adhesive layer.

[@MikeOstrovljanovic]

Can we have the files for the hole cover? :)

[@alainamacmillan516]

Bro has more money in fillament than my entire bank acount.😅

[@mxlje]

I know you must be sick and tired of all the technical questions but it looks like you printed parts directly on the high temp plate without adhesive. I did that once with PLA and it left pretty substantial „stains“ and since then I’ve used adhesive. Do you have any recommendations for the high temp plate?

[@user-tk8rh8jz4l]

Can you please make a tutorial of how to make time lapse with a iPhone or a Curity camera 😅❤

[@rcarter]

Is the cabinet custom?

[@DarshanRayate1]

❤😊

[@shinchin384]

where do you get that cabinet? seems like ikea? but I don't remember if it's there.

[@gdro]

Not ikea, it was custom cut. Ikea is good if you have the exact space otherwise you do custom cuts. They have cnc machines and they will drill all the holes for you.

[@Sttreg]

i gotta ask, is this your apartement, or a different place? because if it's your apartement, omg, how many rooms do you have to be able to use so many for your 3d printers, and have some for your wife!

[@florianp.6256]

Your apartment is so full 😳 like 300 rolls of filament at least 😅 and don't get started with 3d printers 😂 Even the saw is in your room 👍

[@Kyharra]

Now they just need wood filament then you can make your own shelves at home lol

[@lego-master861]

What is the best 3d modeling software that you use?

[@florianp.6256]

I love onshape

[@MihaiDesigns]

I use Fusion 360

[@Volt64bolt]

I personally use fusion, however I have recently gotten into onshape and I find that it allows for more complicated processes in less operations, however the functionality between the two is the same. Because of that I tend to use fusion more since onshape free makes all your designs public domain

[@lego-master861]

Thx

[@AptMantis2278]

I use solidworks

[@qcgeneral29]

Nine new 3D printers?! I know your channel is focused on 3D printers, but that is still a lot lol. Are you selling printed parts or something?

[@andyhelipilot3528]

I noticed you have a lot of boxed printers😊 Would you like to buy a bulk lot of printers? Various manufacturers a lot of Creality and some resin printers and bulk lot of filament dryers. They are all brand new. If you are interested I will make a list. I know there are ender 5, 6, cr20 belt, cr-6e max cr-6e, ender s5, Tevo and even some speciality ones in kit form. I was going to make a printer farm, but my health took a turn for the worst and now I can’t work. Need to recoup as much as I can. They are all boxed and unopened. The only thing is I’m in the UK

[@andyhelipilot3528]

I have a new snap make a350 & a250 and enclosures, possibly 30+ printers brand new boxed unopened

[@carterkraber6784]

are you willing to give me a printer thats still in a box?

[@Duraltia]

@05:00 I'll be honest... Him not placing the Rubber further in the back for the Rolls to touch it while _also_ making contact with the back of the Cabinet and thus securing them firmly in place from two sides instead of them now being able to wobble back and forth is kinda driving me nuts 😑

[@brunoob1557]

[@ningcraft6694]

why do you have so many unopened printers? do you even use them?😂

[@ajejebrazof8579]

It would better if you spent your time on your multi extruder project! Too much time to enclose this shitty printer! 😂

Why a cheap flimsy cabinet you’ll outgrow before you start. I only clicked on here because I thought maybe it was a huge printer. You’re a fantastic designer but not a great builder. At least not on this video
