8:14 If it's a sticky residue, using the eraser, especially the leftover self-stick one (such as MONO dust catch) to remove it, it works pretty well on hard surface!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s a great tip!

[@partsdave8943]

# 1 could’ve also been created with Revolve command. Your method obviously works too.

[@acolombo]

Revolve command instead of gluing it with epoxy? What?

[@forgotrafe]

I would have done a profile and revolve too!

[@Tandberg91]

i would use revolve too, i think its a better method as you can do all adjustments in one sketch

[@onelegout]

This was super cool! One thing I noticed is if you had printed the clamshell horizontally the keyring hole would have been much stronger because each layer would have a full ring of filament.

[@JayPknee]

Or it could’ve just been a bumper that lined the outside of the key fob printed horizontally. Stronger ring, quicker to print, no supports needed and less filament/glue needed and would have ended with a cleaner and thinner end product

[@socialmediumspace]

I love your videos. After over a year of my 3d printer not working, your videos have inspired me to fix it and start printing again. It's also great and inspirational to see another Jewish maker.

[@mishokahin]

I love how wholesome this channel is.

[@ge2719]

if you want to design a clam shell where you only need to do one half design and print it twice, and make it so it has slots that fit together then if you put a recess on one half of the edges and a tab on the other half, and set tolerances for a little gap between them, then you can print the same thing twice and it will mirror against itself. obviously its hard to describe in words, but like with the key fob, if you took the face that was going to be glued and split in down the middle (you have to split it in a line of rotational symmetry), then on one side if you take the outside edge line and use that to create an offset line thats half the thickness of the walls (+0.1mm for tolerances for it fitting together), then use the inner section created by that offset to extrude a tab , and then on the other half do the same but if you cut extrude a recess thats slightly deeper than how far you extruded the tab. Then when you print two of them the slots and tabs will be flipped when facing each other and so they will slot together and then you get both a keyed surface that locks together and hold the two halves perfectly in place, you also get a way to much more cleanly glue the two halves together. So clean you might not even be able to see the join.

[@michaelmerryman587]

After adding epoxy, how will you remove the keyfob clam shell if you need to change the battery? I probably would have just removed the old clam shell and created a new one that has a screw holding the halves together. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@L0stm4n]

@@michaelmerryman587 It is a passive RFID tag, power comes from the reader via inductive coupling. Not like a car key that has its own power. No need for a battery :-)

[@scorrigan87]

I'm so excited for this, the first one was awesome.

[@daverobertson8399]

These videos are amazing! Your work is a great way to show that 3d printing is more then trinkets and toys, and just how accessible it can be. Also, as someone with a printer myself you also inspire me to learn more and do more myself.

[@scottgriz]

Great video. That was so much fun to watch. I have been 3D printing my own fixes at home for a couple years and it's so satisfying seeing the results. I'm subbed and looking forward to another one of these.

[@dr_gotheem3899]

Super cool video and idea! I have a E3D tool changer and will often use PLA as support material if I am printing in PETG (and vice versa) because they do not bond together well whatsoever. So the overhangs/contact surface between the part and supports are beautiful. Perhaps there are better materials, but the build plate temperatures are close enough to make it work.

[@HoshPak]

I've bought a 3D printer a while ago but it unfortunately collected dust for a few months until I finally went on vacation. For the last 2 weeks I've been rapid-prototyping enclosures for a hardware project in Fusion 360. I'm realizing this is an exceptional skill to have and I have so much fun learning it. The most creative I've been in a long time.

[@jerrylittle7797]

What a fun video! Great idea for bringing 3D printing to the masses!

I really appreciate such service being promoted in such a way. I honestly think this is the future of manufacturing/repairability of things. We need to start repairing thing. And you are part of this amazing change. Repairing should be our first aim, most fore than recycling. As it is theoretically more efficient.

[@chuysaucedo7119]

Very cool video. Like you, I tried PETG and PLA, and found they don't stick so well together. Had to try!

[@m97120]

I love these videos! Wholesomeness level probably over 9000. You should do this regularly. It's actually a great way to learn pragmatic problem solving as you only have limited time per "customer". So you can't spend hours designing something super perfect but have to come up with something simple on teh spot. I tend to overthink problems sometimes.

[@Kuragari03]

Dude, this video is amazing. I’ve actually had one of my friends tell me that he would 3-D print a repair piece for an incredibly old toy of mine, and he has been sitting on it for close to two years. One day I’ll get my pocket Pikachu back. All I need is a battery cover.

[@Kevin_geekgineering]

that's very smart that you could make business out of it. keep up growing

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Very fun my man! Glad to see the pink pla 🤣

[@robbie7123]

Good job sharing the hobby! Tip for the keychain next time. flip it over so the letters are directly on the build surface and flush with the body. make the letters only 0.6mm deep (inset into the body). This lets you get away with only 6 filament changes at 0.2mm layer height. less at 0.3 or 0.4. Set the filament changes in slicer and enjoy the end result. for an even nicer finish do it on a textured surface.

[@JerseyStyle7]

[@lucaszanvettor9065]

Great work and super Fun to watch. I'd love to give this a try Someday. Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you print the 2 parts of keychain thingy at the same time and I wonder If you could print it laying on the bed with the opening facing up. I guess the "thumb spot" would haver to be reajusted, but the case would be stronger

[@kageofkonoha]

Outstanding Job. May I suggest if you do this more often and print times become an issue you use your 3d printer print the Voron 0.1 parts and build that Voron for your portable printer. Much Much faster which would cut down the print times for you. Less wait time for customers.

[@bakaXY]

when I saw the heart, I already thought that this won't go well. Though PETG or PLA can be used as low cost support material, when you have a multimaterial printer and like to have easy to clean support structures :)

[@nosch43]

so like, the keyfob clamshell, is there a reason you didn't print it flat, on the back, so the layer lines are running in line with the load from the keychain rather then against?

[@nilomyki]

11:00 I probably would have substituted the epoxy for hot glue so the clamshell could still come apart if needs be (especially if it fails due to weak signal).

[@NiSE_Rafter]

Agreed, the epoxy seemed a bit too permanent for the application. A press fit / snap together clamshell with some foam or light adhesive to prevent rattling was what I thought of.

[@jonny555ive]

Hey Morley! I’ve been watching your channel for a long time now and I finally posted my first Advertisement for 3D design modelling/printing in my local city!!! I got 2 hits in the first 2 days and I’m hyped. I’m wondering if you’ve got any type of guide to your workflow when doing this type of fun stuff, seems like you fly through it and I’d love any tips ya got. I’m using Fusion 360 pro at the moment, and I’m planning on upgrading to a Ender 3 V2. Thanks for the inspiration homie, keep it up🤟🏼

[@brandonspence2189]

Love the channel bro, I love educating people on 3D printers. I'd advise to you, gets a space mouse bro. You don't need a super fancy one, but bro, man does it improve workflow in fusion 360. I could not go back, no way. Keep on keeping on bro.

[@rman8028]

Wondering what the drawing program is on your computer? It looks like SketchUp, but I'm not sure. That looks like a great side hustle and a blessing to people who don't want to buy new if someone can fix the old item.

[@bridgetclinch3678]

I think you need a Prusa mini with klipper or a voron 0.1 for faster smaller things

[@ericholliday7071]

I wonder why your PETG has such a rough finish. My MK3S generally prints completely smooth. Is it perhaps humidity or so?
