overly complicated engineered solutions to simple problems: I love it

[@beauregardslim1914]

It is intriguing. 3d printed threads is a great idea, but *why does the table have six legs* ?!?!?!?

[@ovsky_]

No one knows what it means, but it's provocative

[@Kyokahnn]

@@beauregardslim1914 to distribute the load. The brackets aren't necessarily resilient, especially cause it's relatively low infill. The jigs are funny in how complex they are though

[@edenassos]

@@Kyokahnn There's 0 point to 6 legs unless they're self-leveling. A brace under the table would work even better and keep it looking cleaner.

[@ussadesign]

thank you, it is definetely more stable with six legs and can take more load, but this is more of an introduction of the system rather than the table design, those two legs prints can be used in some other cases

[@Infoneson]

You're probably the most interesting woodworking channel I follow with the integration of 3d printing and design. Fantastic job on your designs. I hope you seriously consider some procedural design tutorials in the near future.

[@ussadesign]

thank you, I am planning to make grasshopper tutorials for industrial design in the beginning of the next year

[@zackmeuth]

@@ussadesign Pretty please do. I didn't even know what Rhino or grasshopper was until your videos... I have only used OnShape for my designs.

[@stoane9444]

@@ussadesign Just checking in to say im interested in it too! I tried using grasshopper and even though it is quite "easy" to get the hang of it, i feel like I'm too slow using it. Tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated!

[@peterdavey8348]

The corner jig is beautifully made but I've had a much much simpler version hanging on my workshop wall fot the last 30 years A bit of MDF with a couple of bits of pine screwed to, probably 10 minutes to make, worked perfectly. That said, I get why you're into 3D printing.

[@RobytheFlorentine]

thank you very much

[@BikZom]

[@testi2025]

In an earlier video, you took the screws out and cleaned the surface, and then did the assembly again. You could have a small conical feature on the backside of the printed part, to allow the wood to rise.

[@majki88888]

5:50 this latche attachment is amaizing but i see small improvement you could make. Think of turning around this bolt where you put a driller and insteed of using nut attachment, just put bolt into the drill

[@SmokyFrosty]

Or just a normal shaft. That chuck spinning loose close to his hand and body was giving me the heebiejeebies

[@sebraaap]

I would also design a support for the drill to ensure that the shaft is not moving so much and putting tension on your drill and its chuck. You could design a fixed and firmer lathe chuck and do the sanding by hand

Why 6 legs?

You have missunderstood the expression "work smarter not harder". You seem to work both smarter and harder haha. Its fun tho!

[@3dprintmudh772]

Everything was executed done except for one thing and that is the black stopper in the leg. When you were installing it again because the stopper is at an angle I knew it would not lay flat as when you first install it. Other than that, it was a pretty good design.

[@ussadesign]

those can be rotated freely they are atteched by one screw in the middle which allows it rotate 360, I just didnt pay attention when I installed legs second time

[@tazanteflight8670]

So you bought 6 shovels for the legs?....

[@docolemnsx]

While some of the solutions you come up with are ingenious, this is probably the most idiotic way of making furniture I've seen. That aside, I have to ask, what do you do with the shovels once you scavenged the tails?

[@constantinosschinas4503]

I am an avid grasshopper user but still, i prefer solidworks, fusion, or any other specialised parametric software for part design. Why do you use GH?

[@ussadesign]

I am currently designing apple's new ultra watch in grasshopper I hope it will make sense once I publish it, basically because of the control over any part of the design throughout whole process and variety of tools to design any curves

[@xSensu]

Amazing, but it ticks me off. I have an ender 3 pro, ender 3vs, sidewinder x1 printer and over the past few years I have never ever ever been able to get a quality print close to what you printed here. I have been through website after website and for the life of me, cannot dial in any of these printers. It's extremely frustrating and off putting. But damn nice job on the furnature.

[@hobbybuilt]

Slow outside wall printing speeds, and dry filament goes a long way!

[@ussadesign]

thank you, try prusa slicer default settings for each printer, other than that I do not do anything special even filament I use is just stored in the same room, as long as 3d printer itself is tuned(belts and bearings) prusa slicer should do the job

[@haenselundgretel654]

WHat if I don't have 4 unused shovels at home?! Very expensive table this way! I can only afford hardware store lumber :(

I dont quite understand how 2:38 works...the chamber for collecting dust seems to be underneath and inside the panel, but the corner is sanded on the outside, how does that accomplish the dust-collecting job?

[@doughannesen9963]

Vacuum is for suction to hold the template in place, not to collect dust. No mechanical clamps to hold it in place as they would get in the way.

[@Mr.Solomons]

Nice job! Could you please tell me what jig you use for corner routing?

using node red for the parametrics on the 3d printed files?

[@colinm1502]

What 3D software is that. Good grief. On my phone. Can’t zoom.

[@GiorgosLysigakis]

Everything is printed in Carbon filament? Even the threads for the rods? Thanks.

[@ussadesign]

threads are actually printed in PLA becuase there is no much load on them, but there are two more reasons for that, one is carbon fiber is not as smooth as PLA or ABS and that causes unpleasant friction while puttings threads in place, its better to combine carbon fiber with another material, another reason is carbon fiber needs to be printed slowly and one part at a time, I did print four threads at the same time and angle of the threads were much lower on the bottom than what they were suppose to be which made them almost unusable, this couldve been fixed by making bigger tolerance or lowering the angle of the threads but this would effect general performance, another fix probably wouldve been just by increasing fans speed but I dont like to test and mess with printer settings. Leg holders were printed in PLA as well, bottom part of the legs were printed in TPU for better friction

[@igalan]

​@@ussadesign are you saying that the threads that you bolt on to the legs are printed in PLA and the parts that are bolted onto the table are in CF? If not, what do you mean by "combine carbon fiber with other material"?

[@MrKebaabpizza]

What is that on the right part of the screen? I've seen it so many times, but I have no idea what it is.

so far I used it only for this project, opened the box sliced in their slicer and thats the result I got, does exactly for its build for in my opinion, dont know what I will think in several months but this is my first impression

To use a vacuum in order to hold the template instead of sucking the dust - that's beyond my comprehension abilities, whyy? A locking c-clamp will do the job much easier. You can even print one like Irwin Quick-Grip Handi Clamp.

[@UloPe]

Because clamps are really annoying. They’re always in the way. Esp. With a larger router

[@paulcleveland686]

Also noted from previous vids. The clamping design for the edge detailing bends the plastic.

I am working on the design that will connect several tubes for several use in that case you wont have to choose between functions

[@dinner85]

Seriously using the vacuum instead of tape or staples and blasting your space carcinogenic dust? You've got a perfectly good vacuum running inches away doing nothing.. Just why? It's like making a road to drive smoothly with square wheels.
