3D Printing Awesome Apple Accessories.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thank you so much for 100K Views, I can't believe this blew up! If you'd like to find out more about the area I work in, check out my new desk setup video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naisameIbZyWhNE

I mean, the first one is "purely a cosmetic upgrade" and it already breaks the 3rd rule of being useful

[@stratman103]

You must be fun at parties.

[@kailroberto263]

@@stratman103is he wrong tho?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

You got me! I was hoping it would improve the sound in some way

[@TimothyCribb]

Well, at least it will avoid creating rings on the surface. Maybe it will help with ambient temperature readings 🤔

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

@@TimothyCribb good idea! But isn’t the rings only on the original HomePod?

[@DMz8323]

If you want to make a print look more fancy and modern try marble style pla filament 😊

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Funny that you should say that! I’ve got a few in my ‘saved for later’ cart on Amazon :)

[@LiamBrazier]

In entirely the same boat regarding 3D printing - fascinated by the possibilities but utterly clueless. Printing little helpful things as you do in this video is probably exactly how I’d start too.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Hey Liam! Thanks for checking out the video. You should see all the random things I’ve printed around the house! Definitely worth investing in if you want something to play with that actually improves things

[@retech97]

This is fantastic, thank you!

[@kkrizzz]

Great video, love seeing practical prints! But I would probably say that the Bamboo A1 would be a good contender of best "beginner" 3D printer at the moment!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thanks for watching! Completely new to the whole 3d print scene, but I hear nothing but good things about bamboo!

[@_imteeyaz]

That adaptable mount looks great, very clever!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Isn’t it? Cheers for popping by mate!

[@therick0996]

Great video!

[@bart5902]

Thank you Chris for sharing my Apple TV mount in your video! I was wondering why I suddenly got some downloads 😅. The "holes on top" downloadable files do include that hole in the middle ;) I do print them standing up with a brim (so with the gap down). No need for supports or anything.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Aha that’s amazing. I wasn’t expecting this video to garner so much response so I’m glad you’ve got an influx of downloads! I think I couldn’t be bothered to reprint it, so I did some DIY. Thanks for making it though, it’s really cleaned up my whole setup and it’s going strong!

[@danielngai]

For your Apple Watch stand, can see some stringing on your model, might be the humidity, you can dry your filament and try again. Hope have a better result

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Yeah, I’m hoping to reprint it over the next few days in Petg-cf as I get a lot better results with it.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Which was your favourite accessory I showed? And can anyone pronounce some of those names that I failed at?

[@sklldllm]

Love your videos! Could you please share what microphone and settings you are using? It sounds really great for the mic not being visible in the video!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thank you! I’m using a seinheisser microphone, I think it’s the mke600 which is plugged into a zoom h6

[@AnnkurKumar]

Keen to see your desk setup

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Check the channel theres a video on there with the full setup.

[@michaelenglund]

Why didnt you fix the rough surface on the Home pod mini stand? Heatgun or so. I think you need to lower the print speed to not get those rough surfaces when there is a lean. Also it seems you use too little infill for things that needs to handle stress. Normal pla is fine if you have enough infill.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Brand new to this don’t forget!

[@TheNetworkingGuy]

I'm 3min in Under 1000 views and under 20k subs? Great camera work clear voice and good explanations. Great work man!

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thank you, you’re too kind! Consistency is my issue and still trying to find my way of doing things. Appreciate you stopping by!

[@mknzv]

First time I see your video. Dude, you have absolutely amazing eyes)

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Haha thank you! But how was the video? 😅

[@3vlogs487]

Careful with CF petg if you don’t have a hardened nozzle it will chew through it before the end of the roll.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I did read that. I’ve got 10 spare ones until I pick up a hardened one soon!

[@keshavbalachandar5631]

Thanks for this, can you post some more Apple/ iPhone accessories? or just tech accessories in general too. Any resources or subreddits to keep an eye out for would be much appreciated.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thank you! I’ll try throw in some 3d print content every now and again throughout my regular uploads. I post a lot about Apple and tech in general so be sure to check out some of my latest videos :)

[@AlexRest106]

Does the Apple TV remote still work when the Apple TV is mounted behind the TV? Or does it need a line of sight?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

It sure does! It’s a Bluetooth connection so no issues.

[@Aidenn23]

Print that HomPod stand in wood based filament, I think some of them are even stainable.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll take a look!

[@74862]

Awesome video. Btw, you can dramatically increase the strength of your prints by increasing the number of perimeter walls and % infill. It’s hard to tell from your video but based on the empty space inside your broken parts it looks like you are using low percentage infill. For parts I want to be as strong as possible I use 4 perimeter walls and 100% infill

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Cheeers John it means a lot! I think I printed with a 20% infill, I’ve been following the print guides they usually put on printable. 100% infill could take a long time!

[@74862]

@@ChrisWilmshurst yea it can take longer but if you also get a bigger nozzle it should make up the difference if you don’t want to wait. Most printers come with a 0.4 mm nozzle. If you switch to 0.6mm your prints will complete much faster and can even be a bit stronger for the same amount of infill since the plastic being extruded is now 50% thicker than using 0.4mm. Just something to consider if you get more into 3D printing. I fell down that rabbit hole a while back and have enjoyed it ever since. It’s amazing being able to have an idea and then realizing it in the physical world so easily

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Thanks for that suggestion! I’m guessing bigger nozzles are best for bigger prints? I have 0.4 and 0.2 nozzles. I’m not sure what I’d use the 0.2 for, but I picked them up as they were on sale.

[@TheShift1313]

Certainly try a .8 nozzle!

[@LoopikCZE]

​@@ChrisWilmshurst I think you need to increase your printing temperature let say by 5 - 10 deg because on video it seems like layer separation.

[@ErisedMediaCo]

Do you need a PC for this printer or can it be used with a Mac? Also, how big of a print can you make (what’s the table size)?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Everything was shown using a Mac, but you can use an Android, IOS, PC, or Mac to control it. I'd recommend a Mac or PC though. Bed size is 20 x 220 x 250mm

[@neoey]

Honestly not really interested in 3D Printing and or Apple Products, but stayed for the great video quality. Keep up the good work.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Haha thank you so much! I do try!

[@Vash.Baldeus]

6:45 simple, not enough infill and layers to make it sturdier. My guess you used about 50% infill and 3 layers for perimeter?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I followed the recommended infil of 20% with that one. I’ve since reprinted it at 50% with petg and it’s showing no signs of stress or cracks :)

[@sintrix3017]

Genuine question: why is the filament role put in backwards? See 6:50

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Purely for the shot! It’s not normally like that

[@cheburek308]

man, just rotate your homepod stand 3d model in slicer to 180 deg (top of stand should be on the printer table) and printing quality will be excellent )))))))

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

It’s ok! Santa brought me the balolo one for Christmas, so I no longer use that stand anymore

[@MeshJedi]

FYI, if you want to hang your apple TV vbehind your TV, you're likely to get no connection or very irregular connection to any potentional game controllers you use with it if you game on it or stream games to it.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I’ve had zero issues with connection since mounting it to the back of my tv.

[@zambranaconz]

check the setup of the printer I am having problems with it.

[@smileyboi1205]

Love this video! I have been 3d modelling for 2 years and always wanted to 3d print Mac accessories but I don’t have a 3d printer😢

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

They’re really affordable. Now might be the time to take the plunge!

[@piznoctsauo8141]

0:00 «Apple accessories are pretty expensive». Thank God a 3D printer is quite low cost. 🙄

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

You can buy a decent 3d printer for as low as £150 and filament can cost as low as £10 for a kilogram… a kg of filament can print you like 20 accessories. It’s economies of scale. Think outside the box and the possibilities of what you can achieve outside of apple accessories with a 3d printer.

[@AnnkurKumar]

If you are noob in 3d printing then how come you are able to do 3d modelling for 3d printing purposes. I also want to make my 3d design into reality but don't know how to. Can you answer my query.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I didn’t make any of these models, they are all free online. (Links in desceiption), but I have learnt to make some designs in shapr3d on the Mac/ipad. I simply watched a few tutorials online to work out the basics and then went from there

[@Gibsonfan1989]

I've done 3d modeling for work for 15 years. Just bought my first printer. 3d modeling has been around for decades, 3d printing hasn't

[@Jackavatar]

Any timestamp available?

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I haven’t got around to putting them in yet sorry. But there’s a new item every two or three minutes if memory serves

[@matthias_petrat]

Nice Video. But the print quality is very bad. Bad Layerview.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

I know! I’ve been told a lot now! My defence is… I’m still new and I’m learning 😅

[@مسلم-ط8ق1س]

can you design a cover buddy for M1 Ipad pro 12.9 pls. i just sub. in your channel.

[@michaelwalker1017]

I just realized that Apple borks their webcams, makes their customers buy a device to get better camera quality, and their fans just eat it up 😅

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Haha, that they do. I don’t actually use a webcam for anything these days. (Especially since making this video). My MacBook lives in clamshell mode!

[@spencerdiniz]

Good video and great useful prints… but the quality of those prints are shit… they are really bad. If you really believe those were “high quality” prints, you should do some research.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

Still brand new to this so figuring it out!

[@enterprisecreations1492]

Paid for video.

[@ChrisWilmshurst]

lol! I think your comment must be paid for as it’s absolutely ridiculous.

[@sklldllm]

@@ChrisWilmshurst ignore the haters and try to keep calm and stay professional ✌️ love the video!
