Cool Colin... makers are really connected!

[@quinnbogenreif652]

Did anyone else notice the "three sizes of drill bits" when holding up chisels? Love the videos Alexandre!

[@lostinadream1866]

I did ha ha ha but he corrected himself the next time around talking about them ha ha ha

[@Philipp2602]

I would honestly Print those boxes for my Office, Great Design and System. I would also like to See how you construct those boxes or other Things in CAD

[@cavemanvi]

Did anyone notice he laughs in between words a lot? It’s thehaha best

[@achappel]

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice... not long as it turns out :P

[@edgarkondrakov9834]

Maybe in the next video we will see drill bits made out of chisels?

[@1_HighDuke]

Filament shop: "So how many rolls do you need, Alex?" Alex: "Yes"

[@SavvasPapasavva]

Little boxes in the workshop, little boxes made of PLA-y!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Dude, you have taken shop organization to a whole new level with new technology. Every time I think you're done, you just keep adding more killer organization!!! Your channel is a brilliant example to show how 3D printing and woodworking can live in harmony. And anytime people complain about 3D printing not being "real woodworking" I'm sending them your way. Keep it up! -Brad

[@achappel]

Dude thank you so much for your kind words! I love what you do, and congrats on your first Million, I se you're well on your way to a second one allready :)

[@jasonbailey9139]

@@achappel Great video--I just subscribed and no doubt you'll hit that 1/4 million marks soon. Brad's a great guy. I love how he still interacts with the community outside of his own channel even after hitting that million subscriber milestone. His work ethic hasn't changed.

[@NemesisLex]

People like you are the perfect example, what creatives could do „at home“ with the right tool like a 3D Printer 👍🏻

[@MrCyB3RS0ft]

I need a version of this to organize literally everything in my future life. I don't think I can live without this now that I have seen this level of organization.

[@lyndalseaton9777]

Printing things not only for my husbands workshop, but for my kitchen drawers, to help organised those pesky utensils. Keep up the great work, you are truly an inspiration

[@austinmichel1568]

I’d love to finally have a silverware drawer organizer that fits my drawer perfectly, and has the actual size slots I need.

[@trevorfleming6720]

It is the second drawer with all the miscellaneous kitchen stuff that could really do with this system for me. Simply by making all the holders effectively double height will make a huge difference.

[@kdm1234gmail]

thats smart! I am gonna tinker with tinker kad at some point when i have a moment to experiment.

[@shayphillips6005]

I think I would also go with this one

[@marsgizmo]

excellent designs for the organizers! 👏😎

[@fourspiked4667]

Yes very organized 😃

[@birdpump]

Hallo Adrian🦆😉 guess we watch the same videos

[@makeiteasy1835]

Hello

[@timovanendt3287]

Hey marsgizmooo

[@Markus-Brenner]

Hello

[@smoll.miniatures]

This is the first time I’ve seen 3D printing being utilised in a way I could imagine myself using.

[@raneykl]

So many drawers. So much procrastination... I justify it by watching videos on how to organize my messes. I think you may have eliminated my excuses and motivated some action! Thank you Alexandre!

[@CatalinZaharia]

It's just satisfying to see all of them fit together

[@arendvandenberghe1733]

I'd love this for prototyping, I just started studying product design this year so it would come in sooo handy!!

[@RishabhJoshi-wo2rm]

Same here just started studying product design

[@mitchellodom6746]

I'd print a prosthetic leg for my grandparent's dog!

[@ninsaburo14shiratori]

Your budget for filament is bigger than what i use for rent and food combined.. I envy that :D

[@yvindmelin9867]

First thing i would print: Dremel bit storage.

[@mechjack22]

Not going to lie. These assortment boxes are definitely going to make an appearance in my own workshop before too long.

[@tommoyle1247]

this man must be bending time some how, how he gets this much printing done but still pumps out a video every week or so is mind boggling

[@MarshallLando]

had exactly the same thought, but maybe he has a secret 3d printer layer next door with 66 3d printers working 'round the clock :)

[@corelockout6293]

I always figured he printed a few of them and bought the rest on Shapeways or something. Unless he had the idea for this video a year ago, lol. That's a lot of printing.

[@edgecondition]

Your approach to parts organization here is incredible. I don’t know how to begin to express how helpful these ideas are other than to buy a bunch of plans, which I intend to do. ;)

[@hjewkes]

I need a version of this organization for my kitchen, definitely the first thing I'd print

[@shonamorland2922]

First thing one of those boxes for my drill bits so I can get my mug back.

[@ethanboswell2363]

The way he organized the drill bits is oddly satisfying.

[@Pacwind31]

Game changer dude! In my apartment, I have one drawer to hold all my kitchen items like: the scale, dough cutter, lemon juicer wine opener etc. It’s deep and doesn’t work well with drop in dividers. I printed several of these boxes with the grid and now have vertical storage for everything listed above. AWESOME!!!!

[@ShopNation]

So much shop greatness going on here. I may just feature these boxes in an upcoming video of mine. I think I would print your camera rig parts!

[@HiroClownstep]

[@spencerrathke9818]

One day he will probably be 3D printing houses. Love the vids.

[@danielaquijano5856]

first thing ill print: my custom minimalist EDC (everyday carry) cash and card wallet with a built-in key organizer just found your channel and it's absolutely perfect content for me - woodworking, organizing and 3d printing. keep it up!

[@matthewwhitfield7121]

I love this so organised, I really want to get into 3D printing and the first thing I would print is desktop organiser for my model painting supplies :)

[@TheNigaHigaFan4Ever]

Yeah, the ender 3 v2 is a great starting printer. And if you are on tight budget the ender 3 does the job

[@spielundzeug]

Does the master collection contain split files for the Prusa Mini? I have the old box combo and the files are split for 22cm but I'd nee it to be 18cm

[@PEMontgomery]

There are a couple missing. They are split into A and B sections, but there are a couple of B's missing that could complete the sets. For instance there is a 1w x 2h "A" section with the label plate, but no 1w x 2h "B" section to create a full 1x4. There are 2 or three pieces like that. I've been printing on my Monoprice Mini and can only do a limited set, but am limited to 1x2, 1x1, or 2x2 due to the missing gap. a 1x1B, 1x2B and a 2x2B wold allow for printing at least up to a 2x4 for me. :) Overall not a huge deal though. The set is amazing.

[@thijsstuer228]

I would start printing some wall-decoration for my big, empty walls!!

[@Simon-yk6pi]

Dammnn good idea

[@laboulesdebleu8335]

Whew! After a ton of drawer organization of course, a bunch of little repair and enhancement parts I've thought of for several tools, and lots of little brackets for holding things in place such as fans, LEDs etc.

[@alexandert-moss7187]

Man, I need a printer to print those boxes, I’m dying in my OCD here 😂 so I guess if I won that printer then many more sorting boxes will be living in this world.

[@YuriNGolfeto]

When he finishes to organize the shop, he I'll be used 1ton of filament hahaha

[@rochambeaux]

I'm going to print myself a tiny Alexandre, and he'll help organize my house!

[@jonnieZG]

This is a great idea and I am planning to make that for my IKEA drawers, but for me, there is one huge problem with the drill-bits tray, especially if you have OCD: it works fine only while the number of drill-bits equals the number of slots, respecting their sizes. But when you lose a drill-bit, or it wears out and you have to replace it, and you are unable to find an identical replacement, the whole thing turns into an OCD nightmare.

[@aaaaaaaaa1109]

You sure you arent misusing ocd ? it surely isnt something that should be thrown around

[@Max-jh2ho]

I would definitely print Woodworking jigs, shop organization bins, and parts for my dirt bike restoration project. Fantastic videos by the way. Everything you build is very high quality and I love the balance of restorations, 3D printing projects, and woodworking projects on your channel.

[@TsiVagg]

Dear god of assortment, PLEASE make an addition of everything to fit in IKEA Kallax drawers that everyone has and really need an upgrade! Me and my friend Manos (that might have already contact you) have already made some normall boxes that fit in a grid too but we just can't keep up with your creativity! 😂 We believe these would be greatly appreciated in this community. Hope you contact soon 😇

[@emmanouilpsomasflokas3418]

Awesome idea!! We need assortment boxes to fit in IKEA Kallax. ​ @Alexandre Chappel

[@stringsofair8039]

You should be able to do that yourself with his standard files. Measure the width of the drawers, estimate how many squares of the grid you can fit across at standard size, then either scale up or scale down the files for printing to get it within a few mm or fractions of an inch of a perfect fit, test print the grid base and check fit. Make sure you use that scaling factor for all the other objects and check their fit. The only thing to watch out for is the height of the organizers, you would have to test it out to make sure there isn't too much dead space or that the boxes aren't too tall. I would guess it would be acceptable.

[@TsiVagg]

@@stringsofair8039 thank you. We thought of that but it would alla just come awkward. Also for the files in this video resizing wouldn't work well. It would need resign. I imagine his source files are parametric so it would be much of a hushle to make the STL files and I believe it would boost his site income.

[@naxxtor]

Or (ironically enough) IKEA ALEX drawers that a lot of people use for their desks. The internal dimensions are 295mm wide by 525mm deep (which doesn't fit 55x55 very well!). I wouldn't want to scale the STLs as the wall thickness would be all off.

[@stringsofair8039]

@@naxxtor Unless I calculated it wrong your scaling factor would be 1.072727 so it ends up being 59x59. That should get you right to 295mm wide with 5 rows and 8 columns with some space (assuming your 3D printer is close enough to printing 1:1) You could shrink it one step to be 49.166x49.166 which would be a scaling factor of 0.8939393. That would get you 6 rows and 10 columns with some space. Wall thickness is easily taken care of by setting wall thickness minimums and checking the slicer to make sure it's all good.

[@theworkshopchannel5156]

The first thing I would print is my prototype 4L computer case!

@@MaxHuisman ... and filament! 😅

[@TechTinkerWorks]

Yeah he has 3 printers probably running for the last couple of weeks. It is a lot of printing. Also the many random colors suggest he buys filament in surprise boxes when some retailer sells filament cheaper buy you don't get to choose what you get (usually colors that are not selling great).

[@beaker2k]

That’s why you swap out to a 0.8mm nozzle and increase your layer heights. Would cut down on time significantly
