Since then I have a fondness for them. The mention of them in this video greatly gruntled me.

This project really captures the first-order retrievability Adam Savage often talks about

[@simonmarcoux5879]

To some extend yes, but not completely. I feel that it is a perfect compromise between Adam's and Jamie's point of view. Adam Savage's first-order retrievability is encapsulated within a broader paradigm that is ''visual cacophony''...more simply put, if I don't see it then it doesn't exist. That trumps all else. He often said that drawers are where things go to die. Within a few notable exception for him like his machinist tools and his marking tools, most of it is reachable and visible at all time. In his first version, it was a toolbox where most tools where at hand reach without having to move another one. Nowadays, in his shop. it really really evolved into a broader philosophy. First order retrievability is also about if I need a hammer near tool X and a hammer near tool y, I will get two hammers for each spot. In a stark contrast, in Jamie's shop all hammers were at the hammer spot on the shop. That back and forth drove Adam crazy because it prevented him to go into a flow. Jamie used that time to rethink every aspect of his aspect through. Now, in both cases...they had huge shop compared to our average hobby shops. Coming back to this video, Adam savage would love a lot of the implementations, but might not like the tool chest part. Needless to say, I love the project and I get inspired by all makers to make stuff and organize.

[@jeandrepeach]

@@simonmarcoux5879 all good points of course. But I think the genius of Zack's new system is that it is compatible with both paradigms of organization. I have a suspicion that as the post reorganization entropy settle in, the Voidstar lab will again settle into a more Adam like state, ie with the things in drawers closer to where it is used. But, since the original design had this in mind (ie easy moving, the grouping trays, labels on top) all relevant parts or tools stay together when moved, visible when needed, stacked and stowed when not. It allows for the best of both worlds. I think different organizational structures suit different people's making style, but this system can adapt to both

[@simonmarcoux5879]

@@jeandrepeach I am sorry if my post could give the idea that it was a critique of Zack's new system. I think it is genius. You are absolutely right about it being compatible with both (I'd go as far as say: any) paradigms. I often get carried away when discussing shop organization. I just love it even more than I love doing the commission work that brings the bacon for the shop.

As an ex chef with OCD I can appreciate this greatly, we have a French term.. Mise en place... which basically means... everything in its place. It is a philosophy of arranging your work area so that you can work as effectively and efficiently as possible. One thing I find that helps immensely is to work out how to minimise the amount of tools you need to do a certain job, it is easy to have information overload when you are trying to perform a task and you have too many things around you. Also consistency, try not to change things too much, find a good way that works for you then stick to it, you can modify it once you have become comfortable with it. Take a step back, I have found that the only way to move forwards is to take steps back. It is easy to find yourself in a position where you can't see the wood for the trees. Force yourself to view things objectively, that is where reality exists, not in a subjective view point. You can either be lost in a crowd of people or standing on a hill looking at the whole crowd.

Chappel's system is sweet. I did get the Master Plan version

[@Jarshvor]

I've actually been trying to do this with cadquery. Inspired by Alexandre's design actually. But been working on it on and off, and it's still not there yet.

[@strictnonconformist7369]

If you haven’t already seen the more recent videos, someone has done it, mentioned by him. The OpenSCAD files are on github.

[@jjfoerch]

@@strictnonconformist7369 Awesome!

[@MattInglot]

Wow! These organizers are literally what's been on my todo list to make. I have Alexandre's organizers for my drawers, but wanted something like it but for the desktop. You just save me hours of work that I might have never got around to, thank you.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

There are bins like this used in industrial manufacturing. What you are doing to your workspace as a general philosophy here is done in industrial settings, especially manufacturing, and is called 5S. It is part of the Toyota Manufacturing System and it focuses on making everything easy to reach, easy to find, and easy to put away.

dude your dialogue has me laughing so much i forget that im here to learn something. this is my most rewarding subscription. thank you for making content of this caliber.

Amazing work! Looking forward to remixes and different uses! Thank you.

"I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks to the Like button" did, in fact, get me to push the Like button. Well done, sirrah. This entire project feels like taking a DeWalt or other high-end modular storage container and passing it through Adam Savage's "first order retrievability" criteron. Which is meant to be a compliment, so I hope it sounds like one. It also exactly meshes with my counter-argument to one of Maker's Muse's concerns about the recent AnkerMake commercial. In yon commercial, Anker shows a parent have an idea and go straight to 3d printing it, to make a toy for their child. Angus points out that this only works if one can 3d model, and the weakness of the whole "have an idea and then make your own bespoke item" concept is that 3d modelling is a skill that must be learnt. (Learnt is also a word, if you're collecting them. At least for those of us who aren't Americans.) My counter-argument is that there's room in-between "I did the whole process myself" and "make the mass produced item work" for things like this: a project where someone else has done the heavy 3d design work lifting, but where I can take the results and make something that fits my specific needs better and more flexibly than a mass produced object. Anyway: thanks for the video! I enjoyed it, it was a good way to spend 20 minutes! I've definitely got some uses for your tool storage stuff popping into my mind. Now I just face the two big roadblocks of: figuring out what's going to be useful, and freeing up printer time and filament to actually print tools and not other stuff. :)

[@ifohancroft]

Absolutely brilliant! This would definitely solve my storage problems without pigeon holing me into a rigid storage thingy.

[@FractalPrism.]

What prevents everything being knocked out together, eg: you're carrying around the housing holding copious containers like a tray of drinks and something snags your sweater id imagine some kind of overall inververted nesting lid top for the top and a slide in locking mechanism where the holder meets each tray The use case im considering is a van full of tools hitting a pothole or breaks being slammed.

[@JMdreamer]

Best serious useful giggle ive had in ages as i sit and relate and definately need this everywhere 🤦🏼‍♀️ right down to the colours

[@doubtaustin5044]

Anyone else watch Zachs videos on repeat just because they make you laugh? Better than any comedy show.

[@PhilWaud]

This is an amazing idea and you beat me to sitting down and printing out my own (inferior) set of tool trays by minutes! Guess my printer is going to be grinding out parts for the next few days/weeks. Thanks and you've got a like and new subscribe!

[@KevinDC5]

The “IP and ideasteals” writes are absolute treasure! What parts trays?! Those thoughts are spot on! Awesome project btw, I look forward to melting myself a set soon. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@HunterValleyDan]

Hi Zack. I only found your channel today and this is the first video I watched. You are now my favourite person on the planet!

[@abertheham]

FPV pilot here. Just now stumbled into Gridfinity. Going to be 3d printing for months, but I'm so stoked on this system. Thanks for sharing! Also-thanks for keeping that 100% entertaining. Fucking hilarious, dude...

[@mowburnt]

07:47 Have you 3d printed a Filling Funnel which perfectly stacks in the top of the smallest box for spill free filling of tiny things?

[@ZackFreedman]

I thought about it, along with a sorting tray with recessed slots. One of those things that just didn't make it in time

[@estrategiaeconstruir.gameplay]

I don't think this is a good project ... I think it's one of the most awesome things I've ever seen in the 3d printing community of all time. Thank you so much Zack. The only think I didn't like is that you have only 309 thousand subs. You deserve millions! Cheers from Brazil

[@sausagedog52]

I feel like spending a few weeks designing holder after holder to solve every storage issue must have felt like pure euphoria for zack

This is my first watch of this guy and I have never fallen in love so hard or so fast in my ADHD Aspie (ASD) life.

This might be the single greatest KZbin video I've ever seen.

[@0hate9]

I strongly appreciate the tiny anti-IP rant in the middle of the video, and I'm looking forward to a full video on it eventually

[@kriegh94]

It was so fucking great, i almost stood up and salute.

[@startedtech]

I was thinking the slide glass would break until I realized I was thinking about the cover slips. Now those will break if you breathe on them wrong.

[@Jake-mc4zk]

We probably already broke some just by talking about them here on KZbin. That smooth way the liquid films the cover and the plate together when you make a sample is totally worth it every time tho :3

[@joedubois5541]

I don't know about #gridfinity, but this is one of the most entertaining videos I've seen all month. We have a few AD Ultra HD 4Ks who run a few 3D printers, making spacecraft parts at ASU. I hesitate to ask, but how do you store cables?

[@dailythenoob]

I also want to know this. You can only Roadie Wrap and hang on hooks so much

[@jippenfaddoul]

Dunno about zach, but I do labeled ziplock gallon sized bags in a clear tote. Label the tops and its real easy to rifle through, pull the bag you want, and shove it back. Within the bag, every cable has its own velcro ties, so that they don't self-knot. Had this system for years, best I've found so far.

[@joedubois5541]

@@jippenfaddoul Thanks, I use the exact same system. I've used comb hangers and spools, but the ziplocs always win.

[@RobertMorgan]

Have you ever tried toilet paper and/or paper towel rolls? They hold most small cables.

[@dailythenoob]

@@RobertMorgan small cables are easy, but what about big cables?

[@ByronBrummer]

This is the first video of yours I've watched and I had to Unlike it just so I could Like it again. I never, EVER watch YT videos without skipping most of them. I watched every second of this masterpiece and never once felt the urge to skip ahead or even run it at 2x speed. Well done sir, you've earned another subscriber!

I have the similar cnc router to you zac. I burned out the spindle in like a week. THEN, upgraded to a dewalt DWP611 with a 3d printered spindle mount i designed and printed out of carbon reinforced nylon. Like a charm.
