"If my printer is not running, I feel like I am wasting time " - you are a true 3d printing hobbyist now! Welcome

[@MakersMuse]

Big grats for diving into fusion to change the designs! That's what makes 3D printing custom stuff so incredibly powerful. I need to organise my space so badly 😫

[@3DPrintingNerd]

SO SO HAPPY you're having fun 3d printing!!!

[@techguy38]

Just don’t understand why people do collabs with him when he’s literally done nothing for the 3D printing community and has the knowledge of a Best Buy employee that just finished their training. Maker’s Muse, Thomas Sanladerer, Teach tech, CNC kitchen the list goes on but Joel might be nice person but just not there on the knowledge side when it comes to really understanding printing and this is why he needed to call help to build a Voron because even after all this time he couldn’t build a printer from scratch. Just my 2 cents but if you ever want to get information from a reliable source the above listed have been doing it for a very long time and have helped the community.

[@Iisakkiik]

​@@techguy38just because you can't build a voron from scratch doesn't invalidate if his channel provides useful info. He does focus on different things than the channels you mentioned, I love and watch all of them and that still includes him. And it's useful to have a more casual viewpoint anyways. So yes he's not the go to if you need nitty gritty detailed info but he's not trying to claim that he's doing that. His videos are more like entertainment and that's totally fine.

[@DavZell]

No kidding! He looks kind of healthy!

[@60Airflyte]

So, old sewist here. Way back in high school sewing class in the 70s we were taught that cloth measuring tape was notoriously inaccurate. For one, they stretch out. Teacher said to keep an accurate metal ruler on hand to measure new and old tapes against to make sure they were accurate. Here we are, decades later and in the next century, and I still have a metal ruler on hand. More than one, really. One in my craft room, one in my toolbox, and one in the kitchen. When I saw you pull out that cloth measuring tape I thought, “Uh oh!” Sorry you wasted all that time and material but those boxes got used anyway. I love your channel. I learn so much even if I never use it. It’s useful to know about it. I’d really love to do some 3-D printing someday but don’t know anyone with one….yet. Well done!

[@DrummClem]

That is EXACTLY what I wanted to know. Thanks a lot for your input !

[@JanSt12]

Just get a cheap Ender 3 v3 (ke/se) they're great for Starters and pretty cheap compared to Bambus (Sure Not as polished but hey the lay down plastic pretty well)

[@SnoringVids]

​@@JanSt12for anyone getting into the hobby I usually recommend the A1 mini it's not much more expensive and can save lots of frustration. I have a ender 5 pro and love it but if I was buying today would definitely get a bambu

[@wyw876]

If you're in the US, try contacting your local library system! Even if they don't have 3d printers for you to use on premises, they may be able to point you to the nearest tool lending library!

[@60Airflyte]

@@wyw876 thank you! I’ll do that. Great idea.

[@echobucket]

People don't talk about this enough but having good measuring tools is a pretty important thing which you learned the hard way. I also recommend some digital calipers.

[@Iisakkiik]

And the good old tape measure for anything too big for calipers.

[@erebostd]

I propose (cheap - medium priced) analoge calipers. No batteries (empty or leaking), no zeroing in every time you use them, and sometimes even more accurate then cheap digital ones

[@Novers]

As far as having to reprint things because they don't fit, first welcome to the hobby I think we have all done that a few hundred times. It doesn't really apply to the bins, but you can always make a test print of just a piece of the model to see if it will fit. for example I made a shelf for my window unit air conditioner that just friction fits into the vent, Instead of printing the whole model I printed a slice that gave me the geometry and I was able to measure how it fit (or didn't) and make changes. It's a little filament wasted but it helps a lot with more complex projects

[@SrReloth]

She's really hooked, she's already one of us!

Welcome to 3d printing, wholesome to see your quick progress in this space. The feeling of "I need this but can't find it anywhere, so I'll make my own" is awesome

[@heimkhal2.097]

I have been 3d modelling for about 14 years casually and for classes, I still learn new thing now. Also I do recommend learning 3d modelling from scratch. It is much more satisfying.

[@af01waco]

I agree with learning how to create 3d models from your own ideas. It can be frustrating to start with if you have no experience, but there's several websites and videos to help.

[@CaseyFaris]

Hey this was super interesting! There's a certain satisfaction you get with a perfectly organized drawer. I actually see a use for a 3D printer now! I've wanted to get into it, but just couldn't find a practical use... this seems really cool tho.

[@LashanR]

Appreciate the use of metric in this video 🙏🏽

[@coder543]

One crazy idea: just scale the gridfinity grid to a size that evenly fits into your Husky drawers. 42x42mm might be the standard, but it's 3D printing... do whatever works best!

[@saradietschy]

honestly yes. good idea. then i wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel for every drawer

[@A-scketchy-otter-lol]

i think theres a specific reason behind why zach sized them that way

[@mateowoetam]

But then all the other gridfinity project you print will have to adapt to that one place or not fit if you keep the normal dimensions.

[@coder543]

@@mateowoetam yes. If you scale the grid by 10%, you have to scale everything by 10%. It only makes things difficult if you’re trying to print exactly-sized molds for certain items, but I don’t think Sara did that for any of the gridfinity prints in this video.

[@wehavefun3433]

Never break the 42 rule. 🫢

[@KyleKatarn145]

"I feel like if my printer isn't running, I am wasting time." Oh god how did you explain my feeling so accurately

[@olavgausaker1]

Absolutely wonderful video, Sara! I've been into 3D printing since 2020, and I have to say that you video really shows what the hobby is like. Well done, and happy to have you back!

[@timcharlesworth]

Top Tip: If you want to make sure the model will fit, instead of reprinting the whole thing multiple times, just cut a thin cross section and print that.

[@ZebraandDonkey]

Nice video. That was quick to get to the point were, if the printer is not printing the unproductive feeling comes. Enjoy and happy printing.

[@mouadnadzi]

Amazing video as always! Can't wait for your next video 🔥🔥

[@jgonz1997]

I absolutely love your videos, so easy to follow, interesting and the recap just brings it all together with your points and opinions.

[@tereg5]

I found this video because on my deep 3d researching dive. This is the first time I hear about the plugin isn't working but I'm like why am I just hearing about this, funny I found this tip through you. Thanks for being the source for helping a girl out learn a bit more 3d skills. 3d printing is MIND BLOWING.

[@KathleenSebree]

one thing that has helped me with 3d printing parts that have constraints is to do a test print. basically a small slice of the original model that I can use to verify measurements, mechanisms, etc without doing a full print. It helps you dial in the printer if need be, potentially save materials on prints that don't pass validation, and because it prints faster then a full print you'll have shorter gaps of time between validation and modifying the model.

[@LarsFL]

What a fantastic video! It's awesome seeing someone else get into a hobby that you love yourself, and boy did you dive in head first! Good luck finding the surface again

[@stvcolwill]

that whole section at the end was GOLD. great job and well articulated. And you're right about every single statement/thought! (coming from very experienced in 3d printing FDM and resin and also Fusion 360). Well done! (instantly subbed).

[@rudra_designs]

You watch Zack Freedman toooo!! Love the guy and I'm really glad you love the website. Getting into the 3D printing stuff myself too recently

[@therick0996]

Wow you really did your homework! From gridfinity, to the f360 add on, to that box generator thingy. Learning CAD is the best companion to 3D printing

[@versus023]

you're starting the hobby with one of todays best printer on the market. thats incredible! When I satarted with my ender 3 a benchy was like 2.5 hours. Now with a bambu its like 16 min. So being able to print those organizer is viable now. When printing with an ender 3 is wasnt much worth doing. Glad you found a new hobby!

[@Strateegee]

Yesssss ... I love when you say "I feel like I'm wasting time if my printer isn't printing" bc SAME. Soon you'll have 5 printers going all at the same time haha.

[@Repkord]

Welcome to the addiction! Its still wild to me that Ive been at this over a decade now and there are still new comers every day that get bit with the bug. 3DP is a tool unlike any other when it comes to enabling individuals to simply create whatever their hearts desire. Kudos to you for taking the dive and there is none better than Joel when it comes to bringing others into the family. 🤗

[@bilborg]

Especially thanks for the post-script section of the video. Kudos!

[@EmilBjrn]

Fun video! Even with good measurement tools, it can be hard to get tight fits correct on the first (or second) go. If it is a bigger print, I always print a tester piece of the dimension I want to check. This can often be done without more modelling, just by stopping the print after the first couple of layers are done.

[@asan1050]

Sara Thanks for posting this video

[@JLemke]

Hey you inspired me to organize my desk with gridfinity, nice Video, i am always sad when my 3d Printer has nothing to do 😮😅 so gridfinity will be my next prints for several days 😊 and welcome to the Club of 3d printing enthusiast 👍

[@v4lgrind]

Awesome! The reason your extra with bins broke a bit is that the corners on that end printed in the air. The normal Gridfinity bottom grids has a slope to avoid that, but the added rectangles goes 90 degrees into the air. If you turn on supports it should print clean, and maybe use tree supports, they are usually easier to remove without breaking things.

[@saradietschy]

Oooh I’ll try tree supports thank you!

[@rs14058]

So awesome to see Sara and 3DPrintingNeder teaming up 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

She's me fr!! I have just been printing things that fit specifically like my camera batteries and what not. I've actually printed gridfinity items but didn't realize it. This was very useful!!!

[@DanRaines]

Very cool and great video! I will say from experience that once you get comfortable in Fusion you will unlock door for pretty much anything you might want to make. Glad to see you are having fun with it!

[@MiroSays]

Hahaha, wonderful! The week I get hooked on 3d printing you have released this video. And while I'm still printing stuff to improve my A1 you not only modify existing models in the slicer software, you are actually able to do CAD!! Brilliant! I have looked into several drawer organization systems and I'll probably go with Neogrid since that doesn't need a ground plate and I hope that increases printing speed and reduces filament use. I'm also looking into the Multiboard system for wall storage. It seems much nicer than the Ikea Skadis I have. More expensive to print, of course, but nice and customizable.

[@Hero1117a]

Man now I want a 3D printer! lol. They seem to be getting better and better so fast. So cool you can tweak things completely to your needs (even if it takes you hours and you die a little inside doing things over and over lol) but yes the drawers looks spot on! I have a few pro big camera boxes and loved that one has adjustments you can move and re stick with velcro but gives you nowhere near this level of customisation. Anyways great video as always :)

[@ProtonovaR54]

Omg best idea with the drawer pulls. Idk why I didn't come up with that idea, I've had the same issue with the husky drawers lol. So good, ty for sharing everything in this video :)

[@AshleyGittins]

This was a great roller-coaster, you hit every classic obstacle that 3d printing throws, and you powered your way through all of them! Another option for the edges in drawers is rather than extruding an undersized box, try shortening an oversized one instead. That way you keep the geometry underneath that avoids having to make supports or do any fixups on the base bit. Or just do gridfinity for most of the drawer, then print some bento boxes to fill an exact gap all the way up the side. Also, thanks for the bento-boxes, hadn't seen those before! Another youtuber "Hands on Katie" did a really awesome breakdown on the various organisational methods too. She landed on: gridfinity for horizontal surfaces, Multiboard for vertical, and her own expansion on gridfinity for larger items like clothing etc. Well worth checking out!

[@juliestrator]

I wonder if 3d printing people are as happy that you've covered their niche as we (blender people) were to see you try blender! this video was super fun to watch! i admire your drive to try and learn new things! also very happy to hear baby peach is doing well

[@chrisw443]

This was so satisfying

[@peterkn2]

Welcome to the world of 3d printing! Choosing the Bambu is a great choice! I think they make the closest to consumer 3d printers that any manufacture has come. As for the skinny space, the first thought that came to mind was scaling the grid and bin to fit in the slicing software. Either scale the entire drawer or just that last unused space. My only tip is to print experimental / prototype stuff with the less expensive filaments. For example, Elegoo rapid PETG Black, on sale right now is around $10 a roll if you buy a four pack vs their other colors which are around $15. I usually print my test prints in black and when I'm ready for my final products, I will use the colored filaments.

[@Andrew_Bishop]

you can add side padding around the outer most edge of the grid. its what i did as my OCD would not let me leave it. i just measured the drawer and kept adjusting how many slots i needed till i hit the max space, then half what was left and entered that into the side padding.

[@diyadventures9138]

Thanks for the tutorial, am thinking of grabbing a 3D printer but not knowing how to design it has stopped me from purchasing. I know is plenty of stuff to print but would like it for stuff around the house. Keep up the tutorials👍🏼🔥

[@Kenprints]

[@HassanDabbagh]

I watched the video from start to finish. It was great! I'm relatively new to 3D printing, but we've opened a makerspace in partnership with a university to highlight the educational possibilities of 3D printing. It's not just about printing; it's about problem-solving, math, engineering, imagination, art, creativity, and, of course, the fear of failure. I love 3D printing; the possibilities are endless!

[@techgamezz]

welcome to the 3D Printing World i had the same problem on Gridfinity and i just strech the stl to fit on the place

[@SomeNameGoesHere]

that whole bit about getting measurements wrong and wasted time/filament cutting to the next print sliding in so nicely embodies 3d printing to a tee.I definitely do not have 10 failed prints of my last design on my desk taunting me. The toolbox looks so cool with the black vinyl wrap on the handles.

[@RoamingRojas]

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Definitely a good call getting rid of the shiny chrome and going all black

[@jdl3408]

Thin baseplate with magnets on Printables for those drawers. You might like Gridfinity Rebuilt for OpenSCAD.

[@user-ew9gr4fm7b]

Welcome to the madness, as a quick note on your issue with grid finity, instead of modifying it with the cad program you can resize the x & y of the models in bambu studio, make sure you uncheck the box to deselect the uniform scale box. In that way you can make them fit your needs, when you change it write down the size you ended up using, when you print the parts that will go into them make the same size adjustments. I have done adjustments like this quite a bit.

[@eighty-eighth_section]

Ah yes, the near-universal need for more printers to get projects done faster. I have 5 X1 Carbons and I love them!!!

[@dylansousa5571]

Great video

[@sigma682]

I recommend including a low end dedicated graphics card (Nvidia: RTX 4050, RTX 4060, AMD Radeon: RX 7600) on your desktop/laptop upgrade, it help for all the 3d rendering (i.e. Blender, CAD, Slicer software).

[@sunsettimelapses9518]

For larger parts you can always do a test fit, just print a few millimetres of the base and see if it fits, if it does, re print the whole thing, if not resize and repeat.

[@DarrenPoulson]

The quote of just because you can, doesn't mean you should resonates with me so much.

[@jonathan__g]

One thing I learned that I think would help you with saving a bit of filament is doing test prints that are only a few layers high in order to make sure that it fits the space you want. I've wasted more filament than I cared to admit to on (like you) 6+ hours only to find out it doesn't fit! so only doing maybe the first 40mins-1hr of the print is probably long enough to get the dimensions of the boxes to know it fits accurately.

[@WildTyrant]

That asmr finale was beautiful. Great vid!

[@Nicholas_716]

I found your channel trough John. But i really love your video's. Keep going!

[@75keg75]

17:43 faster time = more printers! Do test prints by splitting models to get idea ie do a thin slither of your shape to test part/ size. I always do a validation print (like 1mm thick) to see if size fits.

[@speakoid]

Welcome to the 3D printing world! With Gridfinity, if you're not planning on using magnets you can print a much simpler base grid to use a lot less filament and speed things up.
