I made MINI SPACE PLANTS for my Captains Quarters Dollhouse Project

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I know that my videos have been 3D printing heavy recently and that has been because Elegoo has been so generous and sent me 2 of their printers. They have also been one of the most responsive and caring companies I have worked with so I wanted to be sure and get the reviews for both of their printers out ASAP. However, I wanted my handmade-loving friends to know that I still strive to keep a balance between handmade and machine made here on my channel. All next month I will be working on the Beetlejuice house and characters by hand! Machines will always be something I enjoy working with as they really help me get more done in less time, however my love of making something from scratch will never go away😊 If you are wanting to get into 3D printing without being able to get a machine for yourself, be sure to check your local library or maker spaces! Many of them have printers you can try out!

[@pambrandon4186]

I am enjoying seeing what you do with 3d printing. My son is getting one and has offered limited sharing (meaning when he has printed stuff and has to take a break to paint,)

[@bronwynplagemann5400]

Beetle-gust!!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Thanks for the information.

[@signaltome]

3D printing is useful and I am facinated by what they can do, so don't mind me, totally fine! 🙂

[@matishtar]

Thanks for the explanation. I, for one, am so glad to hear this, because I was really looking forward to see you make weird alien plants by hand when I saw the video title. I get the possibilities and convenience of it, and that it can save a lot of time, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed whenever I see creators 3D print stuff when I clicked on the video to see how things are handmade. I'm afraid 3D printing will just never be my jam unfortunately. Either way I still very much enjoyed this video (like all your content), I really like how you combine the printed items with your amazing style of creating, it turned out super awesome! I'm also looking forward to Beetlegust (whether it's in actual August or much later, it'll be worth the wait! Quality over quantity / good mental health over stress and pressure.) Edited because I forgot to add that YES, shorts would be great! 🖤

[@dragon7ish885]

I am 59 years old now and I know so very well, what you are fighting with. I do handicrafts whole of my life. Now my children are grown up, I don't have to go to work for other people no more . I can do, what ever comes into my head, but I am old now, my constitution isn't very well anymore. I have still so, so many ideas. I am fearing I could never do this all. But I'm trying. That keeps me alive. I love what you are doing and: Go on! There is only one live. Greetings from Germany!

[@dominiquejeames4386]

Hello Ara, to begin with, short, super short are not the formats I prefer. But that's because I'm a foodie and I like to spend a good time watching you create, make, undo, get excited, doubt and finally succeed. It's like spending time with a trusted friend who shares her projects. Being rather lonely for the past few years, (long live the disability ☹️)watching videos of female designers I enjoy makes me feel like I'm not so isolated. Even if you live on the other side of the world. Your room is just awesome 🤩. Whether it's 3D printing or all handmade, you have an awesome feel. You would really imagine yourself in a room dedicated to plant research 🌱 . It's all there and we believe it. Excellent. The diversity of the plants, the colors , the planters, the small Groot😜, the carnivorous plant the feeding tubes..... Well you understood everything pleases me. Your inspiration is a great motivation for me. Thank you. I hope that despite the enormous workload, you will always have the desire and the possibility to offer us these wonderful moments of happiness. Even if I have to admit that all this work must be terrible to manage between family life, the need to earn a living and the realization of your videos. What a great energy. I stop my comment, too long, I know and from the bottom of my heart I wish you all the success you deserve. Take care of yourself. And those you love. Scratch for Stormie Kisses from France 🇫🇷 Domi

[@tamerarehnborg1492]

Ara, we just enjoy your creativity and ingenuity so much. We'll take shorts, one minute "this is on my desk this week", or whatever you have to offer. I enjoy and benefit from your insights and realizations. I appreciate your channel for so many reasons, and am thankful for the inspiration you offer and provide.

[@lorihogue5015]

Your videos are always well worth the wait. I check frequently and today was an Ara day - hurray 💖 You inspire me and stimulate my creativity - especially awesome when I'm struggling with a commission or private project. I love the plant room! The fungi / mold and plants are so cool. The large water pipe reminds me of my old aquarium. Yes to smaller clear tubing for the watering system. Pet store / fish store. I'd love to see the results once you change out the tubing. I'm very happy with videos whenever you get the chance. Better you balance your schedule and not be stressed as this puts a damper on that creative spark. KZbin shorts intrigue me. If you want to experiment, I'll watch 😍

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Lori!! I have some smaller tubes on the way so I will definitely be changing them out ;) I will be sure to share!

[@J.Kenobi]

I love that the "robots" are Deoxys from Pokémon! That's such a cute detail for this

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

😄 I had no idea... but since I already have a Groot easter egg... maybe something from the Pokemon universe won't be that weird and a fun detail for someone to find while viewing the project? I still think they'd be really cool helper bots!

I am so grateful for all the youtube creators who entertained us through the pandemic. I believe we found your channel during that time which gave us a little backlog to watch and lots of content. As things start up again, I find I am grateful that many, including you, have slowed down because we are suddenly busy and the growing watchlist can easily become stressful. Your content is worth waiting for.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

[@justinanovak8040]

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I understand... I think I have another alternative in mind to keep away from shorts ;)

[@Rutanachan]

I think the "robots" you printed are actually Pokemon XD It's a Pokemon called Deoxys. The fun thing is, in Pokemon lore, this is an Alien - so it fits perfectly into a spaceship :D I love the plant room, and the bigger tubes don't even bother me. I think they might look more natural with some water-residue in them (like small drops or a bit dripping out). I'm also all for YT shorts for smaller additions :D

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Lol that is perfect! Another unintended Easter egg inside this project! I will definitely try some drops in the new tubes when I am able to install them because I think you are right!

[@pambrandon4186]

I understand the balance issues and it is much more fun to watch you having fun than to watch you stress out. Love what you did here with the plants. They look great and I love hidden gems in nooks and crannies and I am a real Groot fan so that is a really fun Easter Egg for me. Hope the dentist went well.

[@thecalicoheart7946]

You are and always have been worth the wait Ara. 😊👍 Honestly, I don’t think you even need the tubing. 🤔😄 I felt that the very excellent approximation of the water tube already gave the feeling of the room feeling humid and being watered, without actually having to have the other tubing present. 💁🏼‍♀️😁 Feel free to ignore this opinion and go with your heart of course.😁👍 But you asked what we thought and honestly I thought the room looked really great without it. 💁🏼‍♀️😁 Lots of love and thanks again for all you share. You and your channel are a delight and I learn so much from you. Just as important, you remind me to have fun. God bless you Ara. 😊💐

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I had the same thought as you as soon as I put in the tubes.. 'was it better before?'. I think I will try the smaller tubing to see if I can still get the effect I have in my head but if not I can always remove it and just "mold" over the area where the glue was😄 I am always happy to hear opinions and thoughts on my projects. Many times it's the ideas and suggestions of other that make them better! Thank you so much my friend💖

[@christineingram55]

This plant room looks absolutely brilliant.The tube in the corner was a brilliant idea and really looks realistic too.Your right about the plants they fill little spots and they look fabulous and actually alien like..It’s turned out so well that you can just imagine it as a real room..Love n Light 🥰

So amazing!! Just freaking gorgeous!! I’m sure my opinion is in the minority… I hate shorts because I can’t save them to my watch list and cannot easily cast them to the big TV (how I watch KZbin).

[@megwilcox2878]

As always, watching you create brings a smile to my face. Just so you know, I'm almost just as interested in how you use modern technology to create, as in watching you make things by hand. I realize that you can't show us every step of the process of designing and printing 3d resin things, but there are other channels that specialize in that, so just keep doing your thing! Whatever it is! Love to you!!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Meg! I really appreciate your viewpoint! I definitely try to walk a line somewhere in the middle so those who are interested in technology can see it in use, and those who want to stay in the hand-made lane can still get something from the video too!

[@jeaniepritchett504]

Now I could kick myself for not saving the tubing from my home IV meds. They are about half the size of the aquarium tubing you used on the watering system. I'll be sure to save a bunch next time. I love how detailed your tutorials are. It makes me stretch my view of items around my house for my miniatures.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am not sure where I got the stuff that I already had but I plan to keep my eyes open for smaller tubing. Someone said there are smaller tubes at the pet store so I might check there... I didn't even think of a medical supply place. I am so glad you liked the video! Thank you Jeanie!

That looked so much fun and looks so good. A real little surprise for anyone viewing the dio. Like everyone is saying, you should be able to get smaller tubes easily enough. Shorts showing things like applying the tiles to the outside of the spaceship would be good - anything repetitive that people would find interesting but don’t need to watch the whole process in other words. Just get videos up when you can. They are sooo worth waiting for so don’t stress over how frequent they are. And good luck with your shop and shows. You have some lovely stuff on there.

[@melissavogt7205]

I would love to see youtube shorts of you doing little things. I love watching them when I have a few mins but not enough time for a full video

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Melissa! Glad to know!

[@WinnieRoseReyes]

AAh! They look so real! I’m so glad I watched you last few videos. I had a shot of inspiration just in the nick of time. Happiness! Thank you!

[@craft-o-matic399]

Your videos are always worth the weight Ara! I would rather wait for your longer videos as opposed to video shorts. However, I don't know how the algorithms work, but shorts may help drive traffic to your channel. Do whatever you think is best for you, and I will watch! The plant room is incredible! Thank you so much Ara! Lisa

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Lisa! I am not really sure how shorts effect channels either but I think my brain works better in long form content😄 I guess I just have way too much to say! ;)

[@craft-o-matic399]

@@BentleyHouseMinis I always prefer your long videos! I just love process, and yours are always fascinating!

Aww yay! And it was a bonus room that wasn't originally planned lol!

Loving this project soooo much thanks for sharing your projects with us, your loyal viewers 😁

As others have said, don't sweat the video updates too much. Better to have quality instead of quantity; and you're definitely doing some quality stuff here. 3D printing is certainly improving all the time. I recently made a miniature chess set with a 20mm board where the king is 4mm tall (pawns are 2mm) and they still had an amazing amount of detail. You can still tell exactly what the pieces are. Keep up the great work!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you!! I would rather have quality of quantity as well honestly! Oooh printing a mini chess set is a great test of a printer... I might have to try that!

[@laurawiles410]

I love the Captain's Quarters! I love plants, too, so this video was perfect for me.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for you support Laura!! This community has always been so caring towards me and I realize how lucky I am over and over again to have you all here💖

[@Idkwtfthisisnordidiwantit]

I’m so excited for beetleGust! I really enjoy your videos!

[@Mewtho9]

Doozer structures soo look like those supports. Love the planter you put together. I would love to see a robot customized to water than another set of tubes, like Castle in the Sky.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Yes doozers 😄 Exactly what I was thinking! Cool idea!

[@WhitneyLaBrie]

I'm really feeling these plants! I'm loving the small details you added. Really amazing work!

[@kellyclark628]

I love your videos. I watch all of them as they come... Whatever you have to do for yourself n your family is the right move. We are you fans and hopefully some are your friends as well. We want what's best for you.

💖 I appreciate that so much Kelly!!

Love the alien plants and tubing!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Marcy!

[@veronica5896]

YES!!! To KZbin shorts! More content for us, quicker updates on what you are doing, and hopefully some easier videos for you. Less editing etc. Please take your time, enjoy life, and put out what videos you can. No pressure! A video from you are always exiting, and well worth waiting a little extra for.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you Veronica! I appreciate that so much😊 I might try something like mini-episodes that are still longer than shorts (because I talk way too much lol!) but are a quick update between longer videos!

[@navyboymommygramma]

OMG! I LOVELOVELOVE those plants. Now I want to go yard sale shopping for my own stash of plstic plants

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Go for it!! I am sure you will find some interesting ones!

[@d.d.d.a.a.a.n.n.n]

Congrats on making money at your show! I vend for a living, and I'm always analyzing what went well and what I can change for the next time, and what new stuff to make, so I really got it when you said you can't maintain your shop, plus make videos every week, and still be present as a parent and other parts of your life. Everything takes time and energy, and it's up to you to decide how you want to spend it. Looking forward to where you go with the ship, and I completely forgot that Beetlegust was coming up!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Thank you for the validation!! It is definitely a lot of work. Just prepping for a show feels like it takes all of my energy and nothing is left for any other responsibilities! I am sure it gets a bit easier as you figure out set-ups etc... but for now I am still very much a newbie!

[@monicatravis1908]

For a small tubing for your plant watering system visit the indoor garden section at Home Depot. You will find fuel line in 3 different mini sizes and colors all in one package for a few dollars. These are used to repair lawn mower or gas weed eaters. You will get exactly what you need size wise. Love your creativity, I was hooked on your channel when I happened on your " abandoned coffee house" video. I am currently making a midevil toy dollhouse for my just turned 3 year old granddaughter. She can't get enough doors and windows that she can open. Have fun at the dentist.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

That's a great tip on where to find tiny tubing! thank you! Your project sounds amazing! I just love the theme and that it's such a source of magic and fun for your granddaughter!

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Great work! I love how this turned out! If you are not concerned about the "watering tubes" being clear, you could always strip off the insulation from electric wires to use. Just a thought! Keep up the great work! As always ... Have a better day!

[@barbaragrace1992]

When I landed in hospital I collected all the fine plastic tubing I could get my hands on. Lol. Recycling is brilliant.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

Agreed!! Everything becomes useful eventually ;)

[@savoy6100]

You great It"s ok that you aren't as many. I have to do a lot of work in the garden. So i can't watch as many. Thank you for projects they are beautiful.

Thank you Zenda! Happy gardening!

[@CornucopiaOFmadness]

Oh my god it feels kind of weird seeing the things I made here on my little worktable being put into your projects 🤗 the plant room was an amazing idea I love everything about it. You found the perfect Balance between Alien looking things and like earthy things and I love the shadows the vents make. The eyeball plant also are so cool. I do have a thing for eyeballs 😅 Keep taking care of yourself and your family, that is what's most important 😚

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I am so happy I was able to find a permanent spot for your beautiful coral! I am sad I didn't have room for all of them but maybe they will show up else where in the future! Thank you Michalina!

I Love your plant room it turned out incredible. Have you thought of using the tubing from a drip irrigation system for watering plants, you can usually get it in a lot narrower gauge than fishpond tubing. Great work once again. I'm glad you are taking care of yourself and putting less pressure on yourself to produce content. I know that feeling all too well and am currently trying to get a better balance in my own life. Thanks for another fabulous episode in the Captain's Quarters.

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

I hope you can find that balance for yourself too Marieanne! It feels like a constant fight to keep the balance too but it's worth it! I have some new smaller tubing on the way and I am excited to change it out ;)

[@tipsygypsy3613]

Make one of those helper bots be the watering system! Fun video.
