Thank you! Im really trying to make my videos more story driven.

[@ge2719]

this is definitely one of those things that is a really good lesson for people to do when learning 3d printing. Everyone's kit is different so you have to design everything yourself, problem solve it all. But its also not too complicated to design basic holders. for a nicer finish, and a more adaptable system i'd have gone with making a few different sized of brackets, with french cleats on the tops/sides, so the idea is you can screw those brackets onto the wood, and then the different holders slide onto those cleats and clip in place, so they are locked but also removeable. That way you get a nice finish without having to have through holes on the face of everything.

[@joaocunha7595]

Just a little tip: You never need to measure screws. Every readily available screw is normalized, meaning that all of its measurements follow a norm. For example, a flathead M12x1.5x5 screw follows the ansi metric norm (because of the m), has a diameter of 12mm, a step of 1.5mm and a screw lenght of 5mm. All of the other measurements can be found on a "flathead screw ansi metric size chart"

[@AsiAzzy]

Yes and no. Machine bolts made to standard.. sure, but there are so many variations of the head and other features that is better to just measure the bolt you have in hand to properly design the countersink or counterbore. Also woodscrews have even more mistery about thread diameter.. a quick caliper check sorts this unknown fast. I find myself designing stuff to 3dprint and select the hardware from what i have on hand and design for that specific hardware i have. And boy do I have a collection of random bits and bobs (i hoard screws and bolts whenever i have, and before tossing old broken stuff i harvest screws/springs/ball bearings/etc). Better to measure my random bolt/screw than search the exact standard for the screw. Shaft dameter and thread specification if needed is available in the standard, but the head is rarely up to the standard, and the head is what counts for proper counterbores/countersunks. I use the ISO-DIN standard mostly (i'm in Europe) The trust in standards can be high for industrial structural bolts and nuts that in fact has the standard printed on the box (like DIN971) when new from the store. But old screws/bolts made for furniture/chipboars/electronics/cars/machinery - could have a lot of variation.. car bolts in particular are high grade bolts very true to the standard if you can pinpoint it, but otherwise they are allover or even very custom made for that aplication. I have head bolts, conrod cap bolts and nuts, suspesion arms bolts... all have weird shapes of the head and the shaft, mostly fine thread, - good luck finding the standard or the original spec for that bolt. I can still use the quirky finethread car bolts if i also have the nuts .. so measuring ensures me the correct fit rather than standards. The standards are very good whe you design a new product without the hardware in hand, in fact you search the catalog for the right hardware for your project, design with the standard dimensions, then print/manufacture and buy the selected hardware.

[@joaocunha7595]

@@AsiAzzy that's a valid point! In the field that I work in, we rarely have the components on hand, therefore, we can't measure them. Also, you said that when using old repurposed screws is better to measure them, and that is completely correct! But, in this kind of application, it would be quite impractical to be repurposing old screws and see which one fits where. Therefore, if you are buying new, it's probably easier to see the normalized measurements.

Awesome, as always. I've a simple grasp of fusion (getting better the more I use it) but your videos show me the extra steps that I didn't even know existed to make designing & drawing so much easier - inputting parameters for instance. Can I ask why you didn't print the phone holder upright? You would have avoided any support material and the front would have looked a lot cleaner without the large steps.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! You know, I honestly didn't think of it until reading your comment. That's a great idea, and I should've printed it upright! Next time :)

[@kppolich]

French cleat system would have been the way to go for more additions, less screws, easy rearranging, etc. Nice job on this though!

[@darrennew8211]

Here's a tip: You don't need to measure the screws. They're standard size. Just look up "#6 screw measurements". ISO will give you a nice chart. And here's mad-lad doing 3d printing in inches. ;-)

[@KonigKlack]

I think, I love the fact that you're so easily willing to just get the thing done and avoid nit-picky features or issues. The entire time you designed things I thought to myself "that could be so much better here, and here, and there" and it just didn't matter. You printed it anyways, I would have trashed most prints that looked close to the results of your printer. I would have spent far too much time designing PERFECT fit holders and such, but you just let it go and kept going. No fit n finish, no polish, just do the thing. I need to do this more

[@iancharles798]

The quick and dirty way to skip measuring the screw is to add them in from a database in Fusion--I normally scale up a couple percent for tolerance and use as a tool to cut. Not sure if this ends up being easier, but works for me

[@mxkqp9743]

I really like this project because of your work im actually learning to design 3d objects in fusion 360 thanks

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@sachip5134]

Instead of making screw holes that go all the way through to the front of your holders, you could’ve made screw head-sized holes on just the backside with a smaller notch above the hole like with picture hangers, etc. You would just put the screw directly into the board with the head slightly protruding and your 3D printed holder would just clip onto it.

[@TheyreStillOutThere]

[@Smudgie33]

The only thing I would do differently as add some felt to certain areas to prevent scratching with continued use. For example felt to the inside of the Letterman holder or felt to the watch drum etc.

[@relaxrelax1427]

Are we gonna pretend that it's normal to just be running around with an ice pick on your belt? HAHA

[@bbrachman]

Next time you do a wall mounted 'storage' unit, use a French Cleat setup. No need for screws except to mount the rail. Then each of your items will be infinitely movable sideways.

[@jeremyspecce]

And then they can fall off the cleats every time you take your knife out. I personally think French cleats are overrated for stuff that doesn’t need to be adjustable. Uses a lot more material and adds complexity to something simple. Don’t get me wrong, they have their place, but I think they are more suited to blind mounting of larger objects like a large picture frame or upper cabinet instead of the end-all solution to wall mounting. Many a sheet of plywood has been dedicated to walls full of French cleats for holders that never move.

Wonderful project! For the phone holder you could also have bought a cheap wireless charger and take the electronic out of it, integrating it into the holder so that you don't have to fiddle with the cable all the time.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks! That’s a good idea - maybe I’ll integrate a wireless charger into a V2!

[@LuisSanchez-wf9zw]

How do you measure the strength or threshold capacity for shear or vertically strong builds? Is there a table or way to know how strong your 3d printed items are or the weight they can hold? How does this work in 3d printing? All this is new to me. Tnx!

[@lauramoore4292]

You should make one for an iPad that turns it into a sort of small TV

[@MorleyKert]

Oooo that’s a great idea!

[@daylen577]

For that watch stand, you could have printed just a little lip in the bottom, and kept the watch part itself separate. Tight enough that the layer lines alone create the nice snap fit. That way you wouldn't have had to poke holes all the way through

[@Marcucciboy2]

This exact use case is basically the first (and probably last) thing I'd do if I bought my own printer lol

[@andybeeeeeee]

Awesome video as always! You may have already answered this, but is there a reason you use imperial instead of metric units? I’m American, but use mm for small things because it seems more precise… but obviously it works fine for you!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I grew up in America so it’s what I’m used to. I have a pair of imperial calipers subdivided into thousandths so it’s quite accurate - it’s all just numbers at the end of the day! 😊 Though I am slowly making the transition to metric, and use both when it comes to 3D printing (layer heights, For example).

[@BalloonSchool]

[@jacobanderson5073]

You’ve inspired me to try doing some of this on my own. I took a CAD class in high school so I know how to do some of the programming, but what 3d printer do you recommend for starters?

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I think the Prusa printers are great for beginners because they don’t require a lot of fiddling and allow you to start printing high quality parts, fast. However, they are expensive. I have a lot of friends who are happy with their Enders as well!

[@aaron-bieber]

In return I will give you this gift: if you want to select something that is inside or behind another object, rather than hiding the intervening objects in the tree (like hiding the body, as you do a couple times), you can just hold the left mouse button down for a couple seconds and a menu will pop up with every object your cursor intersects with.

[@thedarkknight1971]

Great job, though, personally I would have made the watch holder a little larger to allow the face of the watch to be more outward facing (yup a little OCD here lol), HOWEVER, a 2 or 3mm thick strip of self adhesive foam rubber strip applied to the width of the watch holder barrel would do a great job and, apply a little black colour to the watch holder itself. Maybe a little of that self adhesive foam stuff could be applied to the other parts too, to say, cushion the bottom edge of the phone etc etc...? 🤔😏 😎🇬🇧

Thank you! To each their own, I like the clicky slot into place 😊

[@gaminghistory101]

Why not just print the phone holder oriented vertically? Theoretically you could have saved the filament length of the supports if you would have just printed it vertically. since there wouldn't be a need to support the material where there is none.

[@ge2719]

@@gaminghistory101 theres also a small possibility that having the layer lines going horizontally, and screwing into them to mount it on the wall, the layers could crack apart when tightening the screw, or over time with weight pulling on the screws. The way he printed them with a big flat back plate thats far less likely to break. one way to help avoid screw points breaking apart when you have horizontal layer lines is to use dome head screws, with washers to spread the force, don't use the cone shape holes like shown here, that will just allow the screw to force the layer lines apart even more easily.... Thats one lesson i learnt early on 3d printing.
