How to 3d Print Toys | Movable Parts

[@haxorcize]

This is an amazing video - I think the title of it doesn’t do it justice. You’re masterfully explaining how moving parts that are printed in-place work, and I think that’s a great topic for anyone trying to dive deeper into 3D printing

[@mszoomy]

Thanks Doc. I love how you dote on the grandkids, you're the "cool grandpa" and a great teacher

[@MakeWithTech]

My wife is he "real" cool grandparent. I just go along for the ride and do the "stem" projects with them.

[@dirtawaycarpetandupholster4611]

thank you for this video. ive just had a 3d printer as a gift. ive been searching all over youtube for a video that explains things and all i could find was people talking about what they made with no explanation of how a hinge is made for instance. i now understand and with no doubt will refer back to this many times. you explain things fantastically

[@jameslenar1732]

You are an excellent instructor ! Very Much Appreciated

[@MakeWithTech]

Thanks

[@UrosGavric]

Thanks Dr Vax. Printing a lot of toys for my kids. This is most useful.

[@marcdraco2189]

Brilliant Irv. Your kids and grandchildren are very lucky!

[@FSV3D]

Tolerance is the number one fact that mechanical prints fails most of the time! Thank you Irv for this superb tutorial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MakeWithTech]

Thank you for the comment.

[@tinkytinca]

Alway look forward to your videos, I learn so much from you. Thank you Irv 🖖

[@DanJonesShow]

I am a simple man...Dr Vax uploads a video, I watch.

[@surrealounge]

Lovely explanation uncle Vax, thanks for this videos

[@angusross-thomson1288]

Thanks Doc, great teach-in. I’m just getting going in the Freecad/3d printing world and the style, content and digestibility of your chats are the best I have come across so far. I will be working my way through your archive.

[@AkiraFurball]

Freecad FTW

Printed the butterfly a few years ago during a convention. Really nice model.

[@coreymac2381]

Excellent video as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@MakeWithTech]

Thanks for the comment.

[@schm4704]

Don't know if Prusa has that, but in Cura there is a feature called Horizontal Expansion which makes it a little easier to compensate for parts that come out too small or too large. It also allows for a separate setting for the first layer to fix elephant's foot, as well as for holes within the part.

[@MakeWithTech]

Excellent point. This is a relatively new feature in Cura I will have to check to see which other Slicers also support it. I plan on doing a video in the future helping people move from one slicer to another by comparing terminology. P.S. I have started a new discussion forum at forum.drvax.com where we can all have more elaborate discussions and share pictures on our prints and printers. Check it out. Irv

[@schuhmansmodelshop8657]

Can't wait to print those for my Sister in-laws day care

[@woodwaker1]

Thanks for the technical information on how these work.. I have printed hundreds for friends and neighborhood children, and was amazed on how well they work. The whole flexi- series on Thingiverse is a good place to find designs.

[@Elswalbe]

Hey Dr. Vax, I printed that butterfly as well in PETG, I'm so happy with it! Seems like I couldn't break it if I tried. I just printed an articulated shark with jaw and fins moving! This universe is so exciting.

[@Elswalbe]

I printed all my parts and constructed a corea8 from my Anet a8! I have a few short clips of it on my channel.

[@AkiraFurball]

Cura->Walls->Horizontal Expansion and initial layer horizontal expansion are created for this purpose ;)

[@MakeWithTech]

Correct.

[@AkiraFurball]

@@MakeWithTech Sorry, didn't read the other comments, I have a nasty habit of doing that!

[@stevemcnerney]

Thanks for the great info.

[@johnkelley9877]

What a great and interesting tutorial! Thank you for sharing this.

[@JJ79ty]

Thanks! That was really helpful!

[@warrencheng9117]

I have been trying to print movable toys but all the prints are stucked together and do not move. Please tell me how to increase the tolerance so the parts don't stick together

[@justynea7171]

Great video!

[@colinfielder6695]

Thanks for explaining this Ivr it all makes sense now why I sometimes have ìssues with otherprinters

[@trialnterror]

Could you do a review of ender 5 dual Z upgrade that is being sold on eBay??

[@kalvinlabuik3366]

those are awesome but what about creating from 2D vehicles jpg converted to STL 3D ???

[@MolecularLevel]

wouldnt need supports at 6:38?

[@bonniebccanada5113]

Your videos are excellent I'm learning so much and I am a totally new beginner. I have the Delta Mini V2 and wanted to print out some of the toys you demonstrated but they are too big for my machine. I tried reducing the size in WIIbuilder 2 which comes with my printer but that didn't work. Please show me how I can do this.

[@XanderPants2000]

Thank you for your knowledge

[@AsifEffects]

Hello Sir, thanks alot for the movable part printing and print in place video i managed to finally print a pip fish with your guidance of reducing the bed temperature. But still am having elephant foot problem. Although i have set my bed level accordingly. I would be glad if you could guide me as to where I may get the slicer settings for general print in place prints i am using a creality ender 3 printer and mostly use creality slicer along with cura 4.8. Would be glad if you could help.

[@traviswpape]

Can you add a Thingiverse link for the interlocking ring toy?

[@MakeWithTech]

Sorry. I missed this one. Here is the link: www.thingiverse.com/thing:251118

[@robertsneed3171]

Hi I noticed that there are 5 separate items. So I am not really sure if they all go together but the person you made this did not give any instructions for it. So could you give me hint of which is which?

[@MakeWithTech]

Give me a link to the model you are speaking about. All of these models print in place with no assembly required.

[@g3i0r]

Hi DrVax, this is a very interesting video but unfortunately the sound quality is not very good. Maybe you can improve it in your next videos.

[@MakeWithTech]

Noted. I normally use a boom mic but I have been recording from another location with a lav mic and have a problem with echo. I tried a new FinalCutPro plugin but obviously it is not acceptable. I just ordered a second Rode Boom mic to solve the problem. Should be here for the next video.

[@karipenttila2655]

Also first layer nozzle too close the bed contributes to elephant foot

[@MakeWithTech]

Correct.

[@Kunal9818494600]

I wish i was his grandchild, could've learnt soo much just sitting beside him

[@MakeWithTech]

My 15 year old granddaughter got a kick out of this remark. Thanks for the comment.

[@Kunal9818494600]

@@MakeWithTech Thanks for the reply grandpa 😁

[@xSLWRTHNUx]

0:27 Go ahead and explain, it still breaks all laws of physics for me

[@Brakzillaa]

he... did explain? Its not breaking any law of physics. You just use supports to hold it on the bed, and the part can free hang at a 45 degree angle.

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

How baked is this guy?

[@kiyanshubale7174]

soory i was not watching i had a lot of of work and i did not have time

[@RASNOHIO]

losing weight there Doc?

[@MakeWithTech]

Would be nice.
