How to design print in place foldable models like FAB365 - 3D design for 3D printing

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

It's almost better than the original design was so simple, because it allowed for an add-on like this, which also allows for some color diversity

[@andrewmo49]

You are too hard on yourself. This is fantastic. All the extras you added to the prototype really made this work. I’m super glad you shared this along with all the design details and your thought process. I would have never expected this would be something I could tackle. Now I’m inspired. Once I get a bit more printing experience under my belt, this is definitely on my list of things to do. Thanks.

Awesome!! I've been a supporter of FAB365 for a few years now. They have definitely pushed the envelope for print-in-place design. This is a great tutorial to show the possibilities for hobbyists to design print-in-place designs in CAD.

Really nice job, mate! Most of my models are the regular Print-in-Place, no assembly required type of models, and many of the sketches I used are much messier than yours, yours were pretty neat. 😂 Glad to see the Print-in-Place design language getting more and more spotlight, I feel like it's a fairly underappreciated field for how useful and interesting it is. :)

[@tallgiese1]

Looks really good. I love the look of the Metal Slug tank and yours is a great personalized version.

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

It must have really been a great sense of accomplishment, your smile in the outtro was beaming even more than usual :) I love your calm, kind and to the point videos! You deliver exactly what you promise in the title and what I expect in your videos time and time again. That model turned out great, both visually and functionally! Thank you for your never ending valuable intput for the 3Dprinting and tinker community!

[@TeachingTech]

Thanks buddy, your feedback is really kind.

[@xraylover]

superb design and feature rich content once again. well done !!

[@slappymchappy]

While watching this video all I could hear in my head was "HEAVY MACHINE GUN" " ROW-KET LAUNCHER" and other audio gems from that fab game. Great choice for a model!

[@heyspookyboogie644]

Omfg this is perfect timing! I’ve been using a foldable 3D printed enclosure from an egg painter project for a project box, but it broke a couple days ago from re-bending it too many times (and it was too small to begin with) and I’ve been thinking about trying to design my own. This video couldn’t have been better timed.

[@TeachingTech]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Loosecannon16]

Awesome design, thanks for sharing the "making of" video, and well explained

[@maythemighty5183]

Wow! Amazing job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@gavsfpv3786]

That was nuts! Well done!

[@avejst]

Impressive project 👍 Well done Michael 😃

[@smellycat249]

This was such a great video. All yours are great so thank you.

[@lucceyssens9852]

that's just AWESOME!!!

[@beachbumsdn80]

Looks great! Nostalgic!

[@82Heniu82]

Wow geand job there... I always wonder how they coming up with designs, now I am bit closer to understanding this. And maybe when I have some free time can try this.

[@kittykatcupcakke2518]

It being pure blue reminded me of Advanced Wars game. Really cool Kinda makes me wanna buy a 3d printer

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

Good job, It's quite intricate ❤❤❤❤

[@Donorcyclist]

Very nice work!

[@davydatwood3158]

I've been watching this while east breakfast and, not gonna lie, almost choked when you said "I don't know much about tanks." Because I'd been grumbling at the screen through the whole video that "that's not the turret!! That's the gun!" Turret derives from an old French word meaning tower, and in a modern weapons context always means a thing that rotates *horizontally*. So the bit you were calling the "turret assembly" is, in fact, the turret. The bit you were calling the "turret" is the *gun*. Arguably with a built-in mantle or gun shield, and with the trunions working backwards to a real tank gun. (Trunions are pegs that stick out of the side of a gun and rest in brackets on the gun mount or gun carriage; your design has the pegs stick out of the mount into the gun.) Anyway, a bit of internet pedantry aside, this is awesome, and displays a kind of visual thinking that is very unintuitive to me. So it was extremely welcome to get stepped through the kinds of things one needs to consider for a print-in-place design. Thank you! And you did an excellent job greebling that thing up, it looks great!

[@TeachingTech]

There you go, I had no idea. Apologies for misusing the term so many times!

[@gizmobowen]

Good luck to Oscar this weekend. McLaren is having a pretty slow start, so I suppose it'll be a challenge. Pretty good to go from Grid Kid to slotting into a starting spot on Sunday.

[@TeachingTech]

It was an exciting race with all of the restarts. First points on home soil, just like Webber and Ricciardo before him.

[@spookydonkey2195]

I think that’s a great design!

[@MahmutGundogdu]

Only thing what I undestand from the video. Designing Print in place models is so hard :)

[@TeachingTech]

Just take it step by step. The rotational parts are easiest. Then maybe in a future design you can add a hinged section.

[@neilnagel9857]

Excellent!

[@NATY1110]

Fantastic job

[@stevenpoole1968]

GREAT JOB !!!!!

[@egamereverplayer6493]

Wow genius ideas.😃😃😃😃

[@maxun1]

Beautiful

[@donrozwick7367]

Thanks for Sharing

[@noanyobiseniss7462]

Cool!

[@corykeen2614]

@TeachingTech will you PLEASE do a video on how to properly get parts to fit together? How to figure out tolerances? If I put a 15mm round peg into a 15mm round hole.... It doesn't fit! What's the proper way to handle this?

[@thomaswiley666]

Very nice! Where you used butt hinges for folding, I was hoping you would have experimented with folding seams.

[@bryanethier1910]

Impressive

[@rudigerf.1111]

So cool

[@eskanderx1027]

Noice one! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@patrolmaverick]

What brand filament are you using? I love that deep blue colour.

[@nandojol]

Nice!!!!

[@Wasser-fz9ub]

Hi @techingtech could you maybe declare how to make a screw that ends at a defined place. Like if you have a cubus of two parts and you want to screw it together. So that both parts of the cube are matching when screwed together. That would be great. Thank you

[@denisdb725]

I would like to know how to make a simple foldable plate with holes in it. This to be use as suport on a reservoir for water and nutrients that would rest on the reservoir suporting netcups the sprout or grow plants.

[@SteveWyatt]

What is a good bench model for print in place prints? I tried printing the tank base but have major clearance issues. But most all my other prints seem to come out fine

[@TeachingTech]

I'd suggest using the chapter timestamps to flick though this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2OYf3iBmLqqq6s Everything bar the vase is print in place. I felt there was a nice gradient in difficulty for those models.

[@Molgator]

Your doing stuff like this and I can't make a decent toy hammer in on shape. Neat stuff though your really good at this 3d design stufd

[@TeachingTech]

Maybe start in Tinkercad until you are more comfortable with the workflow of other CAD? Just try to take it one step at a time.

[@charlesaquiler1725]

i wanted a metal slug like that one.

[@jaspercallahan3318]

so the question i have isnt related to this video but i had printed this file and it had a base and some pins and a few layers before the top of base it started printing the pins early. now this i believe would make the pins stronger to base. i use onshape and i cant seem to replicate that. i made a base piece and pins but kept pins seperate and just made an assembly and tried printing it. but it still didnt work. are you able to explain how that was made?

[@colindale-eu3oh]

hi i have a tronxy xy 2pro upon start up the heater starts straight up a nd wont switch off even when the thermal shuts down is there a fix for this please colin

[@themainman2827]

I really need a flexible hotbed to print toys.

[@deone-entity3935]

Imagine doing Maga project and the extension crash 😳.

[@orion7353]

Where are the files for the tracks?

[@tenchuu007]

MMMETAL SLUG!

[@andrecook4268]

Noice.

[@J_gumbainia]

Hey look, it's a di-cokka tank.

[@doro626]

Seems the creator of the pip bot changed its design. Tank chasis looks nothing like teh one you have here.
