Organizing my Office with 3d Printing

[@Auggie246]

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

[@DeagleBingo]

and for anyone who doesn't know there is a gridfinity designer plugin for fusion that you can install and its free.

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 😫

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.

[@Iisakki3000]

​@@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.

[@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 !

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!

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

[@gregr5]

a tip, you don't needd to print the whole box. just pring the base and maybe a half inch of the sides. Then if it doesn't fit, adjust and try again. If it does, not much lost, especially if you change print settings for less plastic and faster printing.

[@BoojiePanda]

We're still learning our Bambu printer, but my husband will typically make just the outline of an object first, just to see if it will fit properly. For example, I asked him to make cache pots for my houseplants (a pot without a hole, the nursery pot slides inside but sits on the lip of the cache pot). Rather than making the entire pot, he makes short rings to see if they'll fit around the top of the nursery pot. Once he gets the width right, he'll print the entire pot. Less waste this way when you are still learning.

[@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.

[@Iisakki3000]

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

[@afpwebworks]

I got some digital callipers when I started learning how to build guitars. I found after a couple of weeks they didn’t work. So after cursing and swearing for a while I got some more, paying more because I figured I’d been seduced into going too cheap with the first one. Turns out it was the batteries Unless you’re going to be using them a lot, I’d say either buy batteries by the box at a time, or use analog callipers instead which need no batteries

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

@@afpwebworks I got the cheapest digital caliper from harbor freight and have used it 3-4 years and hundreds of projects and haven't had to replace the battery yet but, it did come with a spare. If an electronic item drains the battery when off it's because the switch circuit wasn't designed correctly. I think the guy with a swiss accent had a good video on it.

[@ruthlessluder]

Even digital calipers can screw you up if you didn't zero it properly.

[@cscoconut]

OMG you are so right, I'm stuck in 3D printing paralysis of online research and just watching videos all the time. I just got my first printer, Bambu P1S, 4 days ago and still have not unbox. I wanted to make sure I know what I'm doing before I make my first print. It was like a wake up call, I just need to unbox and start printing (that's actually how I will learn the most by doing, trial and error !!!!! Thank you and loved your video.

[@gerber8915]

You explained it so well - paralysis by analysis. That is where I am. Gonna do my first print soon, thanks for the information and making it relatable to a newbie.

[@jburnash]

THAT ... was real journey 😀. As a 3d printing newbie, I found it engaging *and* useful ... and even inspirational. Thanks!

[@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

[@ethanbarlow9135]

Agreed! For the bins you could just print a few layers and get rid of most of the material in the center of the model. This method guarantees that you will waste some filament, but you should be able to cut down on the number of full prints that don't fit and end up in the trash. I'm still learning to do this.

[@sn005e]

the amount of time, the devotion and commitment u invested for 3d printing and a husband and baby to take care of..RESPECT!!!

[@TheVAking8887]

For your tape issue, where you were trying to measure the inside of a drawer, look up woodworking measuring sticks. Take two flat “sticks” stack them, then extend one, one way and the other the other keeping them on top of each other. Then once the ends of the stick are touching the inside of the both sides of the drawer, you secure the sticks together using take or a clamp. Pull the sticks out, carefully, and then measure the sticks from one end to the other. You’ll have the precise length of the inside of your drawers.

[@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.

[@TheNintendoom64]

If anyone is looking for the white swivel drawer, it's the Dottus White Swivel Five-Drawer Storage Chest

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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. 🤗

[@hothed91]

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.

[@JoanneHastie]

I appreciate your perspective. I am shopping for a 3D printer and KZbin suggested your video. I worked full time with 3D software doing design work from 1998 to 2015. Now I am a full time painter in 2D. But I am excited to acquire a 3D printer for my art studio and thankfully I understand the 3D building logic to fall back on, which is not intuitive. Last time I looked into printers they were not approachable, and I'd start a print and I'd wake up the next morning and it would have failed as soon as I left it. This is an exciting time where it's becoming more accessible!

[@MWAWoodworks]

Shout out to the Husky tool cab in the office I thought I was the only one! You even have the drawers labelled 🤗

[@stropheum]

nicely done! for that wonky 35mm extension, i personally would have just been like "hmm, guess i'm making a skinny long bin going along that side" lol

[@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.

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.

[@jerjavec]

Very cool video, thanks for sharing! I'm in the middle of organizing my kitchen with gridfinity, so this was good timing to see this. Also some really good ideas. I like the idea of using spacers for the edges, right now I've been clipping the base (with side cutters) to friction fit them to the drawer bottoms. The spacers would definitely be cleaner. :) I did want to mention that on the "extra" feet you put in, if you add a chamfer to the top you can likely get it so no support is needed (like the regular feet). And if you swap out the nozzle for a larger one (I've been using 0.8mm, but 0.6mm works too) you not only get faster prints, but they've been feeling sturdier than the walls of the ones I did with the 0.4mm nozzle. Enjoy!

[@KyleKatarn145]

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

[@andrewr6861]

What a fun video. When I print anything that needs to fit in another object I use the slicer to cut it up and print quick test sections.

[@PlannersAnonymous]

Oh Sara, I've watched you for so long and I feel like you've just described my whole 3D experience since I bought a Bambu x1c last Black Friday. I say as I am literally printing MORE gridfinity boxes for my new carts.

[@yaseensaifullah8222]

When 3D printing large prints print small sections to test fits. For example with your drawer you could just print a line to test the dimensions. Your CAD skills will make up for your 3D printing skills. So the better at CAD you get you get automatically better at 3D printing.

[@olavodias]

I've made my own grid system because I didn't know about Gridfinity back them. But it works well, except that mine is 2in blocks (50.80mm), instead of 42mm. I also made mine adjustable according to the layer height and nozzle diameter (so you can print a lot faster with a 0.8mm nozzle). I use it when I make furniture so my drawers always have it.

[@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!

[@cconwayphotography]

Solid video, so nice to show some of the pitfalls with 3D printing! I'm just getting in to it myself, and I totally know what you mean about the guys that have been doing this for years and the settings etc are all 2nd nature to them - all totally new terms to me. One thing I'd recommend you get is a cheapy set of digital vernier calipers, honestly one of the most useful tools I own and a game changer for getting accurate prints for all your things! You can measure outer diameter, inner diameter and they have a depth gauge as well :)

[@pc1x1]

I have the same setup and just started. My only suggestion would have been to just extend and create a custom gridfinity, ie take the 42 grid and add the custom 35mm squares to that grid itself. So when you make the custom piece, the grid will be relative to it and it will fit perfectly.

[@TheWhykiki]

Hahaha I'm also new to 3D Printing and I feel the same ""If my printer is not running, I feel like I am wasting time ""-Thing. I did the same you did and tried to organize my office space and my recording studio - at first I started only to do this one, two, three special things....now nearly everything in my space has a case, a holder or something else. Be sure, I will find a case to print something for everything I own 🙂 I really startet buying additional things in my office (Im a really at working with my own hands - in germany we would say I have to left hands)....but only because I wanted to print some cool tool organizers: I bought a curious amount of cheap tools...some tools that I bought, I dont even really know what's their use case. I think they can retire from their daywork now and just be thankful that I printed them such a nice house....their next neighbours are the Torx-Bits - some really nice guys. There is this group/army of small black and white buddhas, sitting on top of a shelf because I don't have the heart to throw them away in the rubbish and so they become more and more...and more and more...soon they'll own all the shit here. I think the Buddhas are having a hard time with the bit sets and screwdrivers. I have to print owls again to compensate, so that the Buddhas don't feel them so much....

[@falxonPSN]

I just want to tip my hat to you for shouting out the fusion 360 add in. I did not realize that was a thing, and that is super handy to let me make large plates that will maximize my Prusa XL print bed. Also one tip like some others have said, is to just print the first layer of a print to give yourself the rough sizing idea and make sure it fits as you expect.

[@wiregen]

[@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.

[@HikingwiththeBlindBoomer]

working in a cabinet shop, the only tool they provided was a folding rule, which they bought by the box full, unfolded them all and checked that they were the same. We usually returned 5 to 10% of them because they were different. Always check your rulers.

[@TarianJEDTech]

So for the partial units for bins and base plates you want a parametric gridfinity generator or model. I am going to be learning OpenSCAD and using the gridfinity-rebuilt-openscad project for my gridfinity models. I really enjoy your thought process about your organization choices. It is helping me as I start organizing things.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@carstenpoulsen4040]

Emily's idea is okay as long as you only use the changed boxes next to the edge of the drawers. What if you need the box in the middle of the drawer. I would use a diferent idea to solve your problem - use small spacers. Print small spacers in black or whatever color you like and put them either between the edge of the drawer and the box OR put them between the boxes in the drawer. This way you have more possibilities on how to design your layout in the drawers.

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.

[@SpectraV3i]

Very good choice with the Gridfinity.

[@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!!!

[@ernie5229]

When making custom-sized parts to fit an existing space, first print just a frame of your part maybe 1 or 2 mm tall. This will take much less time and filament and you can test the size. For smaller parts, you can get away with only 1 or 2 layers. Also great for checking hole alignment.

[@zickiea172]

I"ve been following you for years as well as 3D printing Nerd .. great mash-up :-). Love this video

[@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.

[@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.

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!

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

[@A-scketchy-otter-lol]

[@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.

I also use Gridfinity on the wall, with shelves/storage boxes that connect into HSW. Edit: the best way to solve the time problem is more printers. You already got one foot dabbling in the pool: JUMP IN.

Test size before printing the full height item. You can either create a negative volume (in Bamboo studio to subtract or "cut" the bin height) OR you can set the "Z" height of the part below the print plate. When sliced, you will only print what is shown standing proud of the print plate. All you need is about 1/8 inch tall to place in a constrained space to verify X and Y parameters.

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👍🏼🔥

What is that swing out storage table you have? I need it

[@jezlynjones]

Yes, I’m also wanting to buy these swing-out drawers. Please point us to the info. 🤞🙏
