My 3D Printing Design Workflow In Blender 3.0 / 2.9

[@Christontoast]

It’s great that you didn’t edit out the annoyances that we all encounter during modeling. That’s part of the real experience and sugar-coating it can leave newcomers thinking they aren’t on the right track. The right track is sometimes full of heads ratchets and knowing the tools well enough to circumvent a minor problem is valuable.

I do my best to share the reality of it all!

[@FatherJosephofMomma]

Both my boss and I are trying to learn Blender and 3D printing for work and personal use so videos like this are great for us to learn from. I'll have to make sure to pass this video along to him. 👍

[@manuelcardelle]

When someone does not leave things wrong, it shows that they do them with love and precision good video men :D

[@Keep-Making]

Thanks Manuel!

Saving it for later, but you're awesome!

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

I think a way to make this process a lot like CAD would be to reference geometry for other features. for example >> your screw holes you placed by aligning one axis to origin & eyeballing the rest > if the screw holes are not attached/referenced , then if we are to change something in the bracket (like the overall width, or thickness of the top brace) the placement of the screws is outta wack ...

[@studiovega5052]

thankyou for the awesome demonstration. I'm having a lot of issues at the moment when uploading the model to the 3D printing service. The mesh apparently has intersecting faces and I'm not sure how to rectify that especially after subdiv. It will highlight maybe 38 interecting faces in the mesh. alot of frustration. do intersecing faces matter ? will they effect the integrity of the print?

looking to get into 3d printing....great videos.

[@jamesbondaygee]

Pretty cool I must say...when it results in 3d printed objects.

[@Noksumi]

Quick question, how does one explain that aligning those holes to y makes them line along red line which is x? Yet aligning lower hole mid between those holes to y-plane is aligning to x? I can't even..

[@csmyfavoritecompany1213]

Why not get longer table?

[@andrejspecht8217]

Blender can be a nightmare when you stack booleans in my experience. But other than that, with vanilla settings, i scale the base cube by 0.5 and then upscale it to measured length.

[@alihms]

That extension underneath the table does nothing to support the weight of your printer. But it does makes the bracket easier to slide in for installation.

[@Keep-Making]

I would say it adds like the smaller little bit of support if the plastic were to deform over time but even then it's just for ease of use really.

New hoodie ahoy

[@Keep-Making]

Ya It's been a while since I changed my look in the channel 😅

[@thihan]

I wish I know how to navigate blender. It looks so complicated

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

Cool stuff. I would luv to chat with u guys, but I only have voip phone... discord won't accept those kinds of numbers

[@rimantasjankevicius2353]

Why I need every time to set my measurements?

[@jneilliii]

wouldn't it have been easier to just move the feet on the t-slot?

[@EPeltzer]

Or if that's not possible, t-nut or glue a couple of wood blocks to the printer bottom rails further back. Or put a sheet of plywood under the printer. Or just two narrow rails of 3/4" wood . . . many 3 minute "piece of scrap wood" solutions to this problem. Seeing you drill holes in your countertop, that's just wrong. And if you want to move your printer later, you have to move the supports, drilling new holes and leaving empty holes where it was before. And yes, I realize it's all irrelevant since this is a design exercise illustrating Blender workflow etc., it's just painful to watch such an ill thought out design solution to a trivial problem.

[@levitate4854]

or just to turn the damn printer by 90 degrees???

[@yagoa]

Coming from sketchup, never want to use blender now

[@yagoa]

why not mirror the model?

[@KW-ei3pi]

I watch hours of "maker" videos everyday to try and learn new skills and techniques. I don't know where the phrase "go ahead" got started, but it seems that nearly every creator of "maker videos" has absorbed it into their vocabulary. It is completely useless and unnecessary in describing what you are going to do. You are "going to do" something, not "going to go ahead and do" something. It causes an otherwise clear and understandable description to become a rambling, cluttered and overly long description. And, it's so annoying to some viewers (myself) that I stop watching and move on to videos made by creators that don't have this habitual way of describing their process. Food for thought.

22/2 haha xD
