[@schizophrenicgaming365]

Repair over replace is something we need to embrace as a society

[@Zie_carpentry]

Excuseme 🤝🤝🤝

[@scottgriz]

I've repaired my vacuum cleaner twice with my 3D printer. Keeping stuff going is so much fun.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

RE-EMBRACE. Repair used to be the norm for most everything, not all that long ago.

[@stillinfamous]

Couldn’t agree more! I’d much rather spend an hour or two making a part by hand then buying a new one.

[@yupinli]

Hi Morley, thanks again for the repair! I reinstalled my scooter holder with a bit of give and it is working beautifully. I would have never thought to use epoxy!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s awesome to hear! It was great meeting you, thanks for being part of the video 😊

[@ebb632]

This is something to revolve your channel around, wholesome, entertaining, and there's the endless intrigue in new items and new repairs!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! Definitely gonna do more 3D printed repairs 😊

[@bbrachman]

Possibly the most interesting, fun video I have seen in a long time. Fixing things is so cool and satisfying. Next time, count the number of people who could have fixed their item without a 3D printer. To you and me, repairing is natural. Most it is not.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I’m excited to do this again

[@bbrachman]

@@MorleyKert The fun thing was that you had mostly successes. (from the video) also, the 'in use' images nailed the fix. I just wish I was as fluent in Fusion 360 as you are. Everything seems like a challenge to make for me.

[@MorleyKert]

@@bbrachman keep practicing!

[@LongerLJ]

yeah! I love it! I love people like Morley!

[@home-lab]

Pink, pink and do not forget the pink filament! Thanks for sharing this video; it’s was fun to watch

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@piemangamez8456]

Imo this is true functional prints. This is one of the best uses for 3d printing. Great job Morley

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@DannyChinchilla1987]

Love all the functional prints & how you took the time to educate other on 3D printing!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! All of the conversations were probably the best part of the day. A lot of people had never seen a 3D printer before and just wanted to learn more and watch them work!

[@shibbleswentworth]

great idea!! you should contract services to the local library to be an in-house designer with office hours :) We can support 3d printers to libraries to really expand public access, use, and knowledge!

[@JuniperandSixth]

Your last two videos have been absolute home runs! Love seeing you helping the community and keeping items out of the landfill

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@CrustyBoot]

Really liked this concept for a video! Love when people can immediately see the value in printing like this.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@trohn_javolta8485]

This is the best promotional video for 3d printing in general I can think of! I really liked it and hope you'll be doing this again.

[@MorleyKert]

That's so great to hear! I hope to do it again soon.

[@Coilboii]

this was a really good idea, haven't seen any other of your videos. awesome!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@kazolar]

How do you not have pink ;) my daughter is almost 9 and I’ve been making stuff for her for as long she could talk and ask for whatever (Pokemon, muppets, Among us...), I have stocked up on multiple shades of pink, regular pla, glitter, petg. Had to make sure I had the right shades of everything after my son started asking for Spider-Man things. Great video. Might be something I may do after my bambu labs x1 arrives, key is show people that 3D printing can be fast, my other machines aren’t very portable, even my voron 2.4 is not very easy to move around.

[@m97120]

This was dope! I want to see more of this. Solving people's small problems through the power of "magic" and wholesomeness. And preventing things from landing in the trash! That lady had it on point. Sometimes a tiny part breaks and and it's game over for the whole thing. The next thing after Right to Repair should be Right to Replicate if a company doesn't want to sell affordable replacement parts.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching! Definitely gonna make more videos like this

[@daliasprints9798]

Love this. I feel like it's an application where faster printers would really shine, too.

[@MorleyKert]

Definitely! Thanks for watching :)

[@SoapyCilantro]

LOVED this! Would make for an amazing series + opportunity to partner up with other makers. Keep ‘em coming man, you’re killing it!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Yeah I definitely want to do it again

[@roymorgan7748]

New subscriber, enjoying the content so far and don't forget the pink filament.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Haha it's on order :)

[@marsgizmo]

super cool idea! 👏😎

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@r4z0r84]

Very nice, this is pretty much all I use my 3d printer for, I work at 5 schools so plenty of things break all the time, fixed doors, flag poles, key holders, and anything else that breaks, such a great idea to have randoms off the street for repairs would improve your 3d skills by having to create random objects, so satisfying when it fits on the first print XD

[@Zie_carpentry]

👍👍👍👍

[@greggv8]

For the scooter holder a thin back plate epoxied on would strengthen it and prevent it breaking again at a different layer line. Make it 4 layers thick.

[@BasedBidoof]

I love that moment at 9:50, where it clicks. That's one of my favorite things about 3D printing.

[@iaincampbell3119]

Cool to see the results of this. I was curious how it would work out. My biggest concern was length of time it would take to print things but seems like you were able to do some smaller prints

[@davebauerart]

A perfect evolution of fixing things around your own house. It’s really cool to see everyone who was on board for the concept.

[@GoldenTV3]

This would be a great idea for high school students who are in engineering classes or are thinking of going into engineering. Helps build a skill set, develops problem solving, helps out the community, etc..

[@Zie_carpentry]

👍👍

[@milhooz]

Great initiative. A comment for the guy who printed the scooter holder if he ever comes across this video: the part could have been stronger if printed in the other direction. Always think of which direction the forces will be applied when designing an element, I would have put it vertically on the print bed so the hook and surface on the wall are all part of the same layer. In this case, it probably broke during installation on the wall so that might not have changed anything but still a good idea to keep that in mind.

[@0xteknogeek]

now THIS is what 3D printing is all about!! prototyping, simple fixes, helping out the community. love it 😊

[@MorleyKert]

Yes!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@imqqmi]

I really like these kinds of repairs! I did some of it myself, with a fridge door shelve, one of the hooks were broken off. I've filed it down square and fitted a 3d printed filler and glued it in. Knobs with threads, broken off threaded plastic holes etc.

[@timgarrett203]

Watched all 3 of these repair videos. So good! Your patients, cad skills, friendliness and upbeat, positive personality really gives a great public insight into the maker community. I think you have a good model for a little shop around the corner! Your community seems really nice!

[@bowieinc]

What a great video! I really enjoyed it. Fixing peoples stuff with my 3D printers is my absolute favorite thing to do!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! It's such a great feeling.

[@evanbarnes9984]

I'm going to have to set something like this up once my classes are back in session! Can do this for my school families

[@josepharnson8153]

Absolutely love your videos Morley! What a fun way to give back to your community. It was perfect the fixes were mostly small! Can't wait for the next installment of Morley Repairs a Community haha

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@XwarblastX]

Awesome job! I love getting more and more people into 3d printing. And the fact that you even put in the first prototypes instead of cutting it out gives ma a lot more confidence in my ability to recreate things with calipers haha.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I’m a huge fan of getting to the first prototype as fast as possible and accepting it wont be perfect, taking measurements from that and using it to make a second, better version! Especially for really small stuff like this.

[@GermNick]

Very cool of you to do. I love this, its the best public outreach of what 3d printing can do for people ive ever seen.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@iansime]

Awesome idea and great way to help people!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I gotta give credit to Van Neistat for inspiring this project :)

[@SchizSchool]

I’m impressed that you were able to get footage that’s not just you explaining the various limitations of 3D printing to strangers

[@welshdave5263]

1:48 for those who are interested... The fastest speed skating 500 metres by a male athlete is 33.61 seconds, by Pavel Kulizhnikov (Russia) at the ISU World Cup Speed Skating Final in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, on 9 March 2019.

[@MrRjk2011]

Great video and top skills. I enjoy printing parts for the home but never really thought about offering this to people. Seeing the satisfaction of broken things being restored via 3D printing is awesome. Have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do next.

[@MrKretzsches]

What a cool idea! Loved the mix of doing something practical and introducing strangers to 3d printing who may have never seen a printer before. I am always curious about the actual design part, but I guess it's harder to show that in such a setting.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I show the in-depth design process in a lot of my other 3D printing videos 😊

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

Loved this!!! Great job Morley…showing people how handy it is to have a 3d printer or know someone close who has one. And Yes, pink Filament for sure!!

[@JesperMakes]

I just love your approach here Morley, and the little dramas revolving around the repairs. Also your girlfriend does a great job of filming!

[@MorleyKert]

She's the best!

[@sebastiansombra]

wow! Loved your video. Lots of great things happening: i) Getting people into 3D, ii) creating awareness of not just throwing things away and buying new ones with all the environment issues related to packaging, shipping, etc; iii) making new friends! Congratulations!

[@PolishTaekwondo]

I love the idea of fixing instead of throwing it away. Great initiative.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@amandioreal2293]

It's nice to see people happy. Great work

[@MorleyKert]

😊❤️

[@youngsuk3329]

Tks for inspiring people to repair stuff instead of throwing away damaged ones. Also you rock

[@Alanworman]

This totally rocks. Ive been part of somthing simalaur. We had someone doing similar to you. Had a uni student doing electronics. And I did some manual fixing stuff, gluing and WD40. The interaction with the lady in the pink top was awesome, you shared and demo great knowledge with the capillaries. And you made her part of the fixing by having to come up with a soulition for the ballest. I belive fixing stuff is a Makers super power! Good on you, would love to see you do this more and may be end up with a tip or a talk through of something you did that day.

[@jotownzer473]

Loved this. Fun, practical and community building!

[@tonyb9785]

Fantastic idea and best video yet IMO. I'll definitely be keeping this idea in the back of my head; definitely a very cool way to help people, meet new people, expand your own problem solving abilities, and expose people to 3d printing, and some of the manufacturing process. I could definitely see this being a good way to also get your name out, if you wanted to take on more complex projects for a money.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@mlob535]

Oh man! I love this!! You’re so generous for offering this! This is the throw away culture so having options to repair is great! I hope others would do this! Wish you were in Houston!

[@Sethcor]

Realy neat consept

[@simon_samuelsson]

This is awesome. I do this type of thing on my spare time, helping people repair their stuff. It saddens me how much get thrown away because of a small broken pice and no way of getting a new one. I like 3d printing for what it enables me to do. But there is no way for me to do it as a business, people can't pay for the real cost. I love this video for the joy and for seeing more people than me doing it. Thank you.

[@CrashnServers]

I think I'm more impressed with the customers knowing how a 3d print would help fix their item.

[@LarryStrawson]

I love the concept and I love the old typewritten message at the end, Classic!!

[@42Pursuit]

Super fun and unique idea! Love it!

[@bertybotsbohne622]

stunning performance - construct on the fly. dude great work

[@emma70707]

Would love to see more of these!

[@JJrocks2500]

Another great video this kind of content is definitely needed. Nice job Morley

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@theend1555]

That second one was very literal, actually repairing a 3D print.

[@berglundsimon]

This is what I love with 3d printing ♥️

[@Convolutedtubules]

This should be open 24/7! Great work.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@mlubecke]

What a great way to get people interested in 3d printing. And you are so amazing and nice. We need more people like you in this world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@cloeducationtv]

Thats really cool to use your engineering skills to help people, very awesome!

[@D3kryption]

Mate, that was so nice of you do to this and spread 3d geekness :D Nice job!

[@TheWeekendDIYer]

Really enjoyed this video! Had to be a great feeling helping these people out!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! It was :)

[@LiamWelfordPhotography]

Brilliant uplifting video, must get my 3d printer set up again.

[@AstroGetm]

Such great energy! Love the vibes :)

[@madkvideo]

This was awesome! We need more of this! Maybe bring more printers with you and more tools

[@sithsiri]

I love this channel so much :) I’ve been starting to play with parametric design stuff and your videos have been super helpful. And hell yeah, get some pink!

[@samcoleman8275]

Very cool video - I'm in the process of rehabbing my first 3d printer. Keep up the good work!!!

[@Taylachteam]

Please make this a series!!

[@MorleyKert]

Hoping to do more soon!

[@Str8Spi3]

Loved the concept of the video. Keep up the good work.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@grywolf99]

Loving the positive vibes and helpful spirit you share. Doing good things!!

[@MrGarib12]

Its so wild to see local watering holes! Great content as usual.

[@MorleyKert]

Haha awesome! Maybe I'll see you there sometime

[@inclinedesigns]

that is awesome you did this. Looked like fun

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! It was a great time 😊

[@IMEEMADE]

Love this! what a great idea and it looks like you made so many people happy giving new life to their broken things :)

[@Zie_carpentry]

👍👍👍

[@Heikousen9]

I'm in a FB group that's all about repairing stuff so they don't have to throw or buy things and I love it, but sometimes things are too specific to be replaced (like the fan button in this video) so 3D printing it's indeed helpful. I bought some cheap fans that keep falling because the plastic base was crooked, so 3d printing could've spared me a lot of pain 😂

[@scottyboy10]

Amazing work Morley! 👍

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@scorrigan87]

This is awesome!!! Please do more videos like this!!!!!!

[@MorleyKert]

I will, thank you!

[@cheetahrunout]

This is cool, ive a cr6-se and some fusion experience doing this for myself all the time. Never thought of sharing it this way.

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

Such a great idea! Hopefully you've inspired more people to do the same!

[@Zuul47]

We're gonna need a second video! Love the idea!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s the plan! Thanks for watching 😊

[@swanee]

Wow, this is such a great idea!

[@lortnokmeister]

love it! well done

[@coblaze1]

This is SO COOL! Bravo!

[@Mellow_labs]

Great video idea, really makes me want to do this in my area.

[@mattc7014]

Great idea! I've used mine to replace a friends microwave dial, all the plastic clips on my garage tube light covers and another friends magnifying lamp.

[@mark7888]

Wow. I love the idea. Great video! 😁

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@jn7818]

Just found your channel. Love the vids I have watched so far. Keep it up!

[@Earl3]

I am a recent subscriber after I found your pallet take video, and after watching a handful of your past videos, I definitely appreciate your content! This was a really cool concept of a video! Keep up the great work!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Awesome - this is great, both in helping people with their problems and reminding us in the community what the world looks like for Maker Muggles...

[@kurtnelle]

I think this 1 video just restored my faith in 3d printing.

[@tko3779]

This is fantastic. Advanced notice would be best. If people respond as well you’ll have an idea of what you can print throughout the day. Linking the vids to the groups would amazing. This is so great on so many levels. Good work.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! Yeah I’m gonna try and advertise it for a few weeks before doing the next one.

[@KTPDAILY]

WELL DONE --- SO NICE

[@dagr8kerek]

Dang, I’d love to do this!! Maybe I’ll email some local coffee shops 🤔

[@maxcoliban]

amazing video, love your energy, subscribed

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!!

[@otherdogdesign8666]

What a great way to spread knowledge of 3d printing, I am glad that it worked out so well. Most importantly though, Morley, order that pink filament! We expect to see it in upcoming videos.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! It is on its way :)

[@e-bike-bys-vykken7422]

Just got my first 3d printer and printing upgrades for the printer in white giant arm brand filament and it prints so clean love it so far also giant arm do all colours pink included so far best filament I've used

[@FunDumb]

I pass by here on the daily. I'll have to check this out next time.

[@MorleyKert]

Awesome! I definitely will do it again and both myself and the maker bean will promote it in advance.

[@TheGrantAlexander]

As I've said, this is a super awesome idea!! I want to do this in my area

[@CD_Zr0]

The litte kid tying to give you a cupcake was so cute

[@raulneyra4751]

Your channel makes me want to start 3D Printing, thank you!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!
