EASY shop organization with a 3d printer

[@JasonGrissom]

News from AnyCubic. They just announced the Kobra 2 Pro. If you are looking for a smarter, faster printer for just 279. Probably consider that one.

[@ZacBuilds]

You keep saying the 3d printing community is filled with smart people. Yet im in the 3d printing community. So obviously you are wrong.

[@JasonGrissom]

Well there is always exceptions to the rules and you sure are exceptional! 😂 Thanks for stopping by Zac. Appreciate you man. 🙏

[@Crafty.at.Heart24]

😅😅😅

[@hughh.8075]

Haha. Great sense of humor. 👍

[@ImNotPalmer]

Me too 🤷‍♂️

[@gpweaver]

There are not "thousands" of free designs out there. There are *millions*. My 3D printer has been one of the most useful tools I've ever added to my arsenal. If you're a DIY'er, you *need* a 3D printer. The ability to make a custom plastic part is incredible.

[@mrhobbeys]

2.5 million on thingiverse alone. This comment got me curious. I’m willing to bet 100s of millions at this point.

[@jerbear7952]

That sandpaper organizer just blew my mind.

[@JasonGrissom]

Happy I was able to help! Depending on the printer its a pretty quick job too!

[@spartan001zadkiel]

The Algorithm sent me here. Your editing style is fun. Glad to see someone else getting 3D printing information to the masses.

[@JasonGrissom]

Well i'm glad it did! Thanks for watching. Yeah I want to try and get the rest of the little random things I've made uploaded to printables. I think thats the best part. The community behind 3d printing is awesome. So many people willing to help and share the information.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

The glue daddy caddy is a stroke of genius!

[@JasonGrissom]

🤣 Thanks for saying that Pierre and thank you for your support. It's available for free on printables as well if you ever want to print one out yourself.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Come one man! Is there a new video coming soon or what?

[@JasonGrissom]

Guess it depends on what you consider soon?? 🤣 I will say. I'm not giving up on KZbin yet.

[@conorstewart2214]

You could also get wood filament (sawdust mixed with PLA) and mix both woodworking and 3D printing, print it out of the wood filament and then sand and stain it.

[@JasonGrissom]

Thanks Conor! This is a great point. I have seen people do this but I haven't tried it myself. Thanks for bringing it up! 🙏

[@Karaon]

i love the hungry reference at the end

[@JasonGrissom]

🤣 always makes me think of the American "cheese".

[@boomerangfreak]

one huge thing you missed out on are router templates. Being able to design your own templates and print them out accurately is a god send. It opens up a whole world of things you can make. That and other types of tooling are great. Not tools but just things that can help you out with other tools. Need a 90degree adapter for your sander, pretty sure you can find and 3D print one for just about any sander you want. No more wonky edges!!!

[@JasonGrissom]

Oh absolutely. My VERY 1st experience with 3D prints actually with my buddies about 7 or 8 years ago. He had a 3D printer and printed me a template that had the shape of an actual butterfly for me to use for template routing butterfly/bowtie inlays. Was awesome! Yeah I think you really are limited just by your imagination/creativity. I probably failed to mentiom them because now with a CNC I usually just use that for inlay work. But again. GREAT point! Thanks!

[@boomerangfreak]

@@JasonGrissom coincidentally I bought my first 3D printer about 7 or so years ago. Started woodworking 3 years ago.

[@ibitaRaptor]

Hmm I like this guy. DIY woodworker here and just got my 1st 3D printer. Thanks for the cool ideas and presentation.

[@JasonGrissom]

Hey I like you too! 🤣 Thanks for watching. Glad I could help!

[@TheWeekendWoodshop]

Great video Jason! I don't have my own 3D printer but I do have access and I have made a few things for my shop. I think you're right, a 3D printer absolutely has a place in the wood shop. Keep up the great work!

[@JasonGrissom]

Thank you for the support! Yeah they are awesome. Be careful though...I got started by using 1 at work and now I have 3 of my own! 🤣 Maybe it's just my addictive personality. 🤷‍♂️

[@qwertyzxaszc6323]

Thank you. I have been circling printers and you helped me take the plunge

[@JasonGrissom]

You're quite welcome! Glad I could help! Any particular model that pushed you to "I need a 3D printer"?

[@homestead_diy]

Great video. Just got a 3d printer. Actually, I recently moved it from inside the house to the shop. Similar ideas. Can't wait to make some stuff of the French cleat.

[@JasonGrissom]

Nice! Glad you enjoyed the video. I'd love to have my printers right in the shop but I think I need a way of keeping the dust down 1st. A little extra space would be nice too.

[@susan_halla]

Just got my new Bambu P1 so have been looking around for useful objects to print. Love your ideas, love your humor, and you definitely deserve more subscribers. Enjoyed the laughs and got some great ideas - thanks!

[@JasonGrissom]

Thank you so much Susan! 🥰 I'm glad you got something out of it and super excited for you to get started 3D printing!

[@justmakeit2849]

I really enjoyed your approach! Great vid.! I tend to do all of my prototyping and tool making on the mill and lathe, but I have thought about giving a 3D printer a try. Thanks for the info and for coming by my channel!

[@JasonGrissom]

No problem!! Thanks for providing some good watchin'! 3D printers are quute handy littlw things to have around. I find most of the time my printer is busy making some little jig or whatchamacallit for the house/shop. 😂

[@anonymoususer4356]

Great video. Thank you!

[@RoseKindred]

My best print for the home shop was PVC pipe connectors. Did not need them for liquids, just to build a frame. The local store was 3.50 each and I needed about 2 dozen. Instead I 3D printed " X " type where the pipe slides over for roughly 0.08 each.

[@conorstewart2214]

Just for information you can get PVC filament, although I would not recommend it. It produces nasty fumes when melted and apparently isn’t great to work with. It may be useful though if you absolutely need PVC, maybe for water pipes or if you need to use some kind of PVC glue on your pipes.

[@RoseKindred]

@@conorstewart2214 Thank you for the suggestion and warning. Thankfully I did not need the pipe connectors to hold or transport water though. These were simple "T" and "Y" connectors but instead of holes they used X beams to fit inside to connect the PVC. Simple PLA+ worked for them. Considering the huge difference I figured I would post it so other people will see the savings in a "TOY" machine.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I worked at a MakerSpace and used the 3D printers there more often than I thought I would. Usually it was to make some sort of jig or something to help my woodworking. I made paint/finish triangles and right angle brackets a lot. Such a fun job. I was able to get my son involved and he loved the 3D printers. Now that he’s 15 he’s been saving for his own. THe MakerSpace is a little too far for us to travel to often. But picking the right one… was something I wasn’t sure about. We had Ultimakers and those are way out of the price range. Glad you recommended one.

[@JasonGrissom]

Thanks so much for sharing Angie. Yeah 3D printers are one of those things that you may not think you would use UNTIL you use one. 🤣 The Anycubic Kobra Neo 2 is available for pre order right now for just 159. May be an option to consider for your son as he saves up. 🤷‍♂️

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

That is great! A new world will open for your son. My son (11yrs old) and I, are designing a board game together. We are 3D designing, printing and prototyping game tokens and things for the game. It’s great fun and if it’s path he wants to follow great, if not, just the learning process and the thinking is a gift. So nice to see other parents open minded like that.

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

@@JasonGrissom I agree with you. My wife is so reluctant and hateful toward my printer. Lol…..but now and then…she asks for something to be designed and printed.

[@JasonGrissom]

@@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel Couldn't agree more. My son isn't quite old enough to really help design things (hes 3) but he is infatuated with the 3D printers. He's named them all. 😂

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

@@JasonGrissom hahaha, funny. On weekends my family go to the trailer park, a neighbour son was 4 at the time and was crying because he forgot one of his favourite toy. I had my iPad and was working in CAD. Since we are all like family at the trailer park, I sat him down and designed his toy. (Figurine) and modified it with his direction so the toy suits his wishes, the next weekend we returned and I had that 3D toy printed. He is now 5 and no longer had that toy. But he was going on about cloning himself and printing himself with an imaginary 3D printer and redesigning himself with super powers.

[@billjonesnation]

Great ideas. Make a new video when you have more 3D printed stuff to share. I'm in the process of designing / 3D printing holders for all my stuff. I got a couple videos on my Shorts if you're interested.

[@littlecncshop]

"The more you spend, the less likely you are to have problems".....lulzbot disagrees lol

[@JasonGrissom]

Hey theres always exceptions to the rules right?? 😂

[@TheSnekkerShow]

Great video, and spot on. I don't have nearly as much time for woodworking as I'd like, so I picked up a Bambu X1C earlier this year so I could automate some production and free up some time. Now I have two X1Cs and no time for woodworking. I probably need a CNC to balance things out.

[@JasonGrissom]

Heck yeah! I honestly haven't used my CNC in probably a year but I still think it's a great tool to have in the shop. I don't sale any items really, if I did. You bet your butt that CNC would be rippin all day long. I initially got it for the same reason you got a 3D printer. I had a kid on the way and realized I wouldn't have that much time to be in the shop messin about. With the CNC I use to just design in the house, go throw some wood on the CNC, and just monitor on a security camera I had setup. Automation has taken over most of the world, why not the shop too. At least a little bit. 🤷‍♂️😂

[@vulgarwoodworks]

The school I worked at last year had a few dozen printers. Those kids were making all sorts of cool stuff. I may/may not have gotten a few of my kiddos scheduled in a class just so I could tinker with them

[@JasonGrissom]

Thanks for stopping by Jared! Yeah I got hooked on them at work and quickly realized I couldn't keep taking 3D prints home all the time. 😂 Got 1. Taught my wife to use it. Then realized that waiting for her to be done with a print was not gonna work for me. So I had to get another one. 😂

[@vulgarwoodworks]

@JasonGrissom always nice to have a spouse who uses shop tools, then let's you spend on more goodies. 🍻 👏

[@JasonGrissom]

@@vulgarwoodworks heck yeah! Shes always been super supportive of my hobbies. Now I just need to get her using the CNC. I'd really like an upgrade. 🤣

Sorry I missed this! Thank you so much Sieng! 🙏

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Not just the shop too. Custom parts for things around the house that costs $100+ to replace because they broke. Saved so far around $1200 by designing and printing replacement parts. Printer paid for itself.

[@JasonGrissom]

Another GREAT point! I had to make the video focused down just for the sake of keeping it concise because you can do SOO much with a 3D printer. Making things for a shop is absolutely just scratching the surface. Thank you for sharing! 🙏

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

@@JasonGrissom I know, you can make a video on all the stuff that a 3D printer can do and it would be hours long. Lol. Your video is amazing, i just found your channel and I’m an instant fan.

[@JasonGrissom]

Well thankfully they don't take up TOO much space. Just set it on your tablesaw. You won't be needing that anymore. 🤣

[@boomerangfreak]

One tip which might or might not help. Tho amazing tools a 3D printer is best not put inside your workshop. All the dust is going to give you a lot of problems! Best to put it somewhere inside where it's hopefully in a pretty decent environment controlled room away from a lot of drafts.

[@JasonGrissom]

@@boomerangfreak Great point! Drafts are terrible for these open air type printers. I keep mine in my studio and have actually recently put them in a tent to allow for better fume extraction and insulation for the printer. Again. Thank you so much for sharing. This was a great point.

[@WorkshopGreg]

@@JasonGrissom @boomerangfreak Good points all around. I do like the idea of a 3D printer in the studio rather than the shop. I've got an outside wall, so presumably fume extraction will be easy enough.

[@JasonGrissom]

@@WorkshopGreg yeah. Everyone should feel free to prioritize safety as they see fit. Personally in my VOC testing, the VOCs generated while running 2 3D printers for ~6 hours in an enclosed studio VS 24 hours of no printing and after venting the room for 2 hours was within margin of error. BUT I decided to go with the tent and a 8 inch inline duct fan that exhaust out of the studio because of my resin printer. More specifically the isopropyl alcohol I use to clean prints. The VOCs were off the charts and seeing how my toddler spends time out there with me sometimes it became a MUST for me. But again. I encourage everyone to do their own research and come to thier own decisions. Happy to hear that you are keeping it in your mind though. (Plus ABS and Nylon are stinky). 😂

[@Coroadepano]

"more you spend, less headches you'll probaly enconter"...

[@JasonGrissom]

Thats what I believe. My 1st printer was an Ender 3. It can produce an awesome print, it may take awhile for it to print AND you will spend A LOT of time dialing it in and maintaining it but it is fairly inexpensive. OR you can spend 600-700 USD and get a Bambu Lab P1S that you just hit "print" and 98% of the time it spits out a perfect print. I think you land somewhere in between with the anycubic Kobra 2 printers. I have 2 and love em.

[@Coroadepano]

@@JasonGrissom thanks for answering. I just wanted to say that I loved the phrase and kept it for myself. I bought it for myself. I'm a hobby carpenter, and as printers are more expensive in Brazil, I thought about setting one up. but they convinced me to buy a ready-made one, as it would be my first printer. I bought a Creality Ender 3 S1 Plus five months ago, as it was available within the options, I didn't know about Kobra. I only print in PLA. I had difficulties with the ABS, I didn't know that a closed printer would be better...

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

I agree with you on every point, I would just add, manage your expectations. Environment affects 3D printing, my settings for printing are different in summer than they are in winter because the works space I use. So for the 3D printing newbie, just be patient, try a few things and don’t give up, once you figure out your printer setting that fits your environment you are golden. Awesome video, I was a finish carpenter for a few years and made tons of gigs in wood. A 3D printer would have saved years :)

Did you have a try on making featherboard for your table saw? My neighbour has 3 printers but they're resin based or something. Do you think it's a good idea?

[@JasonGrissom]

I havent tried it personally but it's funny you bring up because I JUST had an instance where my featherboard couldnt retract far enough for the width of the board I was using so I may need to print one that can. I also have a large resin printer. I see no reason why it wouldnt work. If you can use "Tough-Resin" or "ABS-Like Resin" it would be great. Basic resin can be a bit brittle.

Guess my channel and plastic have more in common than I thought. 🤣 More seriously. Thank you for sharing. Completely agree. I try my best to reuse and up cycle when I can to limit the impact I have on the environment. Unfortunately I do love making useful parts around the shop/house. Unfortunately even with my CNC it just isnt able to deliver the results I desire for certain things. Also. I planted my walnut scraps a year ago and I still don't have a walnut tree. 😮‍💨 Am I doing something wrong?

[@f.kieranfinney457]

@@JasonGrissom however did we manage to do this work all these centuries without plastic…? On a cost per bd ft basis I can’t see how custom plastic printing is cheaper than wood. I think a Better choice is aluminum in the CNC. Actually recyclable. Plastic recycling in the US is basically a myth. The solution to all those wall storage ideas is…drawers.

[@JasonGrissom]

@@f.kieranfinney457 oh man. This could be a video in itself. I'm not exactly sure what the cost per board foot breakdown would be as lumber prices are kind of all over the place right now. As far as using the CNC to make parts, you are correct. Aluminum is a much better material for recycling. However, a CNC being a subtractive manufacturing machine means a lot of material would be "wasted". Unless a really good mechanism for capturing all the chips and sending those to recycling is implemented. With 3D printing...if the model is made correctly the 1st time it should last for a very long time. Hopefully limiting the impact to the environment. I truly do appreciate the intellectual conversation. Lots to think about.

[@f.kieranfinney457]

@@JasonGrissom it’s pretty simple to catch the chips. All big companies do it and send it to recycling by the pound. I have 3D printed hose adapters in my shop. They’re junk but there’s currently no alternative. Shop strength requires nylon reinforcement, IMO, which I think takes a more expensive printer and material. Printed plastics aren’t accurate and strong enough for jigs and are wasteful for most things. But if you already have one for other purposes it makes sense to use it. Be interesting to see how long it takes to design from scratch and print, then use test for durability vs wood. I’d find it interesting. But probably just me! Enjoy your channel.
