[@twomgwu17]

As woodworkers, we're frequently making jigs to solve problems. Tamar, you've always demonstrated such mastery at that. Prototyping for production seems like a natural progression and it was insightful to have you walk us down your iterative process. I'm a full time healthcare exec and an evening woodworking hobbyist and your process reminds me of how we often approach quality improvement in plan-do-study-act cycles. In short, I agree with @jobnford7847 that this was a really valuable video.

[@hartvanmeter214]

I agree. You ‘drill down’ through your process illuminating so many gray areas that other presenters take one’s pre-knowledge for granted. I now feel like I can tackle that same approach even though I don’t yet have a printer and am (a very young) 78 years old starting in woodworking. Thank you for a magnificent channel.

Your work bench video is what pushed me to order my A1 combo. It's been running nonstop in the little over a month I've had it and I absolutely love it. Haven't printed much for my shop yet or learned fusion 360 yet but I can't wait to maximize it's potential. But in the meantime, printing random crap is fun and blows me away at what these are capable of and the quality of the prints.

[@paintstorm1]

Is the 360 part of the combo pack or is it sold separately?

[@daniellerothermel8341]

Your video using the hinge inspired me to get a Bambu Lab printer (and to go down so many KZbin rabbit holes) but this was exactly the design video I’ve been looking for since then. Thanks for being so thorough and transparent, even citing your (yt video) sources!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So glad you found it helpful! Have fun with your printer!

[@aaronblackford981]

Pick the right printer for you for what you want to do unless you have endless money. Not that they aren’t relatively cheap for what you get, just know how far you think you will take it, then buy that printer. I have nothing to do with them or ever gotten even a screw from them that I haven’t purchased. Haven’t had any issues with them thus far and their software and maker world is awesome. I am trying to figure out if I want to upgrade higher a month after buying the mini a month ago. Mini is so limited. In many ways. I prefer wood working. Not plastics, though my actually factory job is in plastics. Lol. Pick wisely if your going to dive in. But great support of a community imo

[@maximflor]

Great video Tamar. I really admire your perfectionism, and the fact that you never say " that's good enough". ( Also, much appreciation on that book you had on the table in front of the TV..... )

[@erik_natzke]

Loved hearing and seeing your process evolution! It's amazing how each iteration may overcome the obvious obstacle while presenting you with a few new hurdles. I've given up the notion that any print will be the last and embraced the 'fail fast' mantra. Staying curious has also proven valuable; which is something I've always appreciated about your videos. "What ifs" aligned with a few principled "Whys" is where innovation emerges (and is a delight to watch).

[@jholmessiedle]

Wow - you just encapsulated my 10 year Fusion/printing journey into a 20 minute video! - there is binge, and there is "getting it through hard work". Having a prototyping factory at your disposal is both a boon and a curse - I spend WAY too much time prototyping something that I use once :) and objects that would have limited mass market appeal - but at least it just gets those things out and stops them rattling around in my head! Great explanations of the process and great product outcome - look forward to more of these kinds= of videos as your obsession deepens :)

[@D..A..N..E]

You + rabbit holes are awesome! Thanks for sharing your process.

[@ajs1998]

I'm glad you found a way to print without supports. There are so many kinds of printers and different brands have their own tolerances and quirks. If the custom supports work fine on your printer, there's no guarantee it'll work on someone else's printer. If you want it mass produced, slice it for a specific printer and send the gcode to a print farm. If you want everyone to print it themselves, distribute the STL and tell the user where support should/shouldn't go and let them slice it themselves. Reinventing supports seems like a huge PITA.

[@overlandventures5924]

I think I've seen most of your videos and really like you content and respect your considerable talent in woodworking and content creation. This was, by far, my fav so far.

Thanks for sharing your process! After watching your previous rail hinge video, I ended up getting a Bambu P1S and have been having a ton of fun. Still figuring out how to design for tolerances and precision of the process -- I made some fence dogs and found the 20mm cylinder parts coming out .2 to .6 mm under the diameter in Fusion which makes for a sloppy fit. Will look into tolerance testers on MakerWorld to see how to compensate.

[@jarodsown2596]

It’s so great you’re getting in to 3d printing!! I’ve been doing it for years and have always been a ‘functional/practical’ printer. Never really printed the figurines and such, always printed mounts, jigs, holders, adapters (shop vac hose adapters!). I was always shocked by how many people thought it was just for making figurines/toys. I had 4, down to 3 printers. You can easily fall down the rabbit hole 😁. Resin printers are awesome! in precision, but a whole other printing world and SO messy. But it has become my primary way to print lately.

[@markallen4123]

I went through the same growing pains using Fusion 360 as you. I watched lots of youtube videos to figure out how to design my parts. After 2 or 3 months of designing parts, I am able to do things in Fusion 360 without watching so many videos! You will get there! I am retired and don't sell any 3D printed items. But I am able to fix a lot more things by printing new plastic parts to replace broken parts. It is very fun and satisfying to print things on a 3D printer. Good luck!

[@Nachoze70]

I absolutely LOVE my Bambu Labs A1-mini. I got it on sale (on an impulse) and have had so much fun printing things for my shop - holders, jigs, accessories, etc. I agree that Bambu is hands down the easiest and most economical way to play with 3D printing (and then graduate to more/better versions as skills increase). Thanks for the video - had some great tips and sets a good expectation for those looking to leverage this technology as part of their creativity. 👍👍👍

[@johndoe6032]

Great video timing. I have been looking into good entry-level 3D printers and the Bambu A1 is the one that keeps popping up again and again. I bought a laser printer last year and went for a cheap one that didn't have all of the bells, whistles and support of the pricier models. I wish I had gone with a pricier one that would have got me up and running much faster as a busy dad who doesn't have time to binge how-tos and tweak all day. But the Bambu amazingly seems like the best of both worlds where it's very inexpensive and very easy to use for beginners. The latter is most important to me after my laser experience, and getting it at a great price is just icing on the cake.

I’m having so much fun. I can’t wait to see what else I create!

Thanks for the tip about the tolerance files, I didn’t know about these either.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yeah! They’re very cool

Just awesome to me girl! I think this stuff is more important than most folks realize- I wonder, and suppose it’s out there, but I’m trying to figure out a drill press table and I wonder if getting some drawers printed by someone was practical???

I think you may have accidentally created a really amazing video on how true innovation works: it's not that someone has some stellar idea that everyone high fives each other, and then someone does something somewhere and something magically appears done. Instead, it is more often than not a well-intentioned idea that does worse than expected which leads to a cycle of creativity to solve problems which leads to tests, refinements, and (usually) success! Many woodworking projects have this innovation loop already (much like in software engineering) but trying to 3D print a hinge is a much relatable scenario to people than most woodworking or software engineering scenarios.

Hey Tamar, this is such a great video! It's fun to see your process and journey in 3D printing! I've been a long-time subscriber, have always enjoyed your videos, and purchased your router jig. Little did I know that you also purchased my humble EZtension gauge. Thanks for the shout-out! -mj

Wow nice presentation and very organized concepts and ideas - thanks so much for sharing.

Your determination is next level. But also kinda required, I suppose, in operating a small business. Kudos

Love this style video! Amazing stuff! Also, I am a total newb to 3D printing and I don't know if they would be compatible with production level 3D printing, but there is a technique of using a different material as an interface layer to make supports easier to remove.

Love, love, loved your video! Well done!

Thank you so much!
