28(ish) 3D Printed Tools That Are ACTUALLY Useful!

[@thenextlayer]

Thanks so much for watching! I LOVE hearing from you all, and I read every comment, so let me know what you think, or any ideas you have for future videos, in the comments below!

[@Nevio_024]

Hi! A „Tools for 3d Printing“ video would be really nice!

[@3dprintedhardware]

Email me, I'll hook you up with my 3d printable tool set which includes hardware tools like an adjustable wrench, pliers and a 12 piece wrench set..standard and metric 👍 I have more tools on the way that will be added to the set, many of which are in the final testing stage right now. Although the tools in the tool set will work best if printed in metal or high temp hardened plastics, they are still fun and even useful around the house if printed in PLA, especially if your using the tools on newer, rust free nuts and bolts (or 3d printed nuts and bolts). I think this set would be perfect for your next "useful 3d printed tools" video. Btw..I just found your channel, looks awesome, I subscribed!!

[@Nevio_024]

@@3dprintedhardware That sounds nice! Can I get that too? What‘s your email?

[@glittalogik]

I'm honestly so impressed with how enthusiastically you've taken on advice and constructive criticism, it's genuinely awesome to see your production and editing style developing - and your subscriber count climbing - with every new video :) Did something weird happen to the footage of you at 10:25 ? I'm watching in 1440p and that bit seems super compressed...

[@cmcferin]

Would really like to hear about what different things like bearings, hardware, and others were super useful for you!

[@thenextlayer]

On it!!!

[@bigdogbigben]

@@thenextlayer Yes please

[@almaefogo]

M3 screws kit should be included with every printer most of the 3d printed things use M3 screws and nuts

[@GenJester]

Yeah sooner the better on this one. Aliexpress shipping times are slow.

[@rolanddube2169]

I just subscribed based on seeing that video. I look forward to it.

[@polarbearjf]

Yep! Would definately love to see your 3D Printing tool collection, keep up the great work! Also the bearing screws etc you have for just in case projects would be awsome too!

[@PDXGTP]

This topic is the reason I bought a 3D printer, I'm frustrated with suppliers not providing tools within a reasonable amount of time, over pricing, and missing design features.. I solved all of that by learning AutoCad and getting to know my printer. Thank you, it's people such as yourself that have helped me get to know the in's and out's of my printer.

[@thenextlayer]

My pleasure thanks for taking hte time to comment!

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

The way you used that pocket hole jig was actually painfull. If the drill is not the same size as the hole you feed it through to the wood, you don't have any benefit from the jig. and if it does have the same size, the drill will eat your jig, so you need a metal surface inside there. Good idea in principle, but this is a one use disposable tool if you use it right. And if you don't use it right, you don't have to use it at all, because it does nothing for you.

[@josiahbaumgartner7643]

Waaah waaah

[@IanFitty]

I wonder if brass inserts would be a good addition. Should be easy to find and hold up for a bit even though it’s pretty soft.

[@NochSoEinKaddiFan]

@@IanFitty It might, certainly better than just trying to guide your drill with pure plastic

[@dustyshifflett391]

@@josiahbaumgartner7643 I'm positive you are just as painful to watch use tools

[@curtsiekert]

Perhaps this is true for someone like yourself.

[@rangeman]

The first video that really makes me consider buying a 3D printer

[@thomasbrecknell794]

I just ordered mine yesterday thanks yo these videos, I ordered a Bambu Labs P1S rather than the A1 because we have cats that might just get into the room while printing is happening.

[@bc4yt]

Super keen for the extra components video. Tools would be interesting also 👍

[@billcs66]

The 3d list of part you need would be great. Thank you

[@alexjunk6216]

I would love to hear more about all the extra components you have around for your projects or even what you have on hand to troubleshoot your printers. Thank you!

[@Bcjc3]

All the videos! Do all the videos you mentioned! We want to see tools for 3d printing. We want to see extra parts and hardware for 3d printing. We want to see every video idea you can come up with!

[@thenextlayer]

Deal!

[@genjitsu7448]

So the tools all turned out to look much more useful than I might have guessed. It is very impressive where this tech is going - it wasn't that long ago that I thought that 3DP would never really end up capable of production level parts but it is getting closer and closer. Great video!

[@thenextlayer]

You should see the newer printers. This video is old and the parts were crappy. Today we have moved way past

[@DEtchells]

Another vote for a video on useful components(!) I’m all about having stock on hand so I have it when I need it, being able to just place one big Ali express order to get equipped would be great!

[@thenextlayer]

Awesome! Thank you! Make sure you're subbed, I'm already working on the video :)

[@jere7429]

yes a 3d printer tools video would be great just started 3d printing and its so awesome to be able to make your own things at home

[@thenextlayer]

Great, I'll likely do it :)

[@thomasswenddal772]

You are just a fountain of great ideas, secondhand maybe or original I couldn't keep up with the flow but I'm seeing some real possibilities here. Thanks so much; keep up with these useful shop and fixing problems type videos. Everybody has a world of challenges.

[@Mr2at]

Ordered my first 3D printer earlier today. This is the first 3D relevant channel ive subscribed to.

[@tomsmith3045]

Thanks for this! I was expecting the list to have maybe 3-4 useful tools out of the giant list, but you presented MANY useful tools. You also presented tools that weren't just specific to 3D printing, which is even better. I'd love to see integration of 3D prints with other building techniques, such as woodworking and working with metal. As an example, 3D printed bushings to work with steel square tubing, to permit rotation or telescoping designs that may require some mig welding, but that don't need lathe or mill work, because of 3D.

[@thenextlayer]

On it. Thanks for the feedback!

[@williamweatherall8333]

The list of supplies is a great idea! I would watch it.

[@dovfeder3253]

Just ran across you channel and am very impressed. Thank you for you time and effort. Most importantly, I pray you and all of your loved ones are staying safe during these horrendous times. Peace brother. - Dov

[@SgtShadowCow]

YES PLEASE for fasteners and bearings and press-fits needed for common prints. Received my 3d printer for Christmas, i am printing away and crash course learning and your channel is helping me immensely. thank you :D

[@thenextlayer]

its live in my library!

[@stewartg2101]

LOL, literally only just watched your last vid and left a comment saying "hell yes" to the tool vid and low and behold here it is just like magic. thank you. Hell yes again to the 3d printing tools used in 3d printing vid. Loving this channel.👍👍

[@keithleslie]

Yes a list of things to order, nuts, bolts, bearings, etc!

[@tasmedic]

Yours is by far the best selection of printable tools that are actually useful. You're a clever guy. Please make more videos! One small thing. Maybe set your camera to fixed focus because it wanders a bit during some of your presentations. A minor thing, to be sure.

[@davidapp3730]

Thank you for the great video. Being new to 3D printing I am just learning all that I can do with it.

[@thenextlayer]

Get it!

[@Shaggyfauvorite]

Btw for all of the screw measurers and fillet gauge you don't need to print in 2 colors, you can print it in one and get spray paint. Spray some paint on a flat piece of cardboard and press the side with the numbers/letters onto the cardboard and voila, you have easy to read numbers.

[@CoffeeandCancerStix]

Honestly you could just use a marker or paint pen to color the numbers

[@jimcombs6760]

My grandson is a huge hot wheels guy. We bought him a c clamp with track connectors on it so he has a ramp he can elevate the track and the cars zoom down the track, around the loops, and shoot from the jumps!

An English speaking, Israeli, 3D printing content creator. Honestly kind of a rare sight. But glad to see 3D printing content from here though, and especially in English. Great production and content too. I have a bit too many printers and parts but frankly my organization surrounding them is a bit awful. I’ve been meaning to print a Gridfinity but it always seems like such a huge project.

[@thenextlayer]

Haha yeah. Though the famed designer Dizingof is Israeli too

For a lazy suzan, you can also print two identical circular plates with a semi-circular profiled groove along the perimeter, where you put glass marbles as ball bearings.

Wow this is really cool! can't wait to start printing the fillet gauge and the screw measure!!

[@thenextlayer]

Enjoy!

[@renierbonthuyzen9703]

Hey there. Just so you know. The fillet gauge is actually used to measure welding fillets. Many kinds of welds need a specific radius to comply with code.

[@odw32]

For the bit holder: Try out carbon-fiber polycarbonate, it's slightly flexible but also very strong. It needs an abrasive-resistant nozzle, a well-maintained printer, in some cases a temperature-controller enclosure, a ~100c bed and a ~300c hotend. Your Prusa should be able to handle that though! It's definitely not my favorite material to print with, but it is my favorite in terms of end product properties. Another thing to try is to just make a "solid block" with slightly oversized hex-shaped holes in it, and put a strong neodymium strip embedded in the bottom to hold the bits in their holes. Absolutely loving your channel btw, and the clean look of your studio!

[@martshal]

Yes, interested in both a "tools for 3D printing" video, and a listing of "things" that you think are useful for 3D printing projects. Also, if you've added some more to your gridfinity setup, splash a little of that into the above vids.

Polycarbonate has better heat resistance than either nylon or Asa. And if you do what I do and use heated enclosures and annealing your parts after directly after printing you can take polycarbonate even a tad higher.

[@deucedeuce1572]

When it comes to squares and stuff like that, you really have to make sure that your printer is assembled perfectly square. When I got my Ender 3, it was always printing in excellent quality and just about everything I printed worked just fine... but when I went to print a long/larger perfectly square item, the printer could not print a perfect angle in any orientation or axis. I had to use a professional square and some shims (and a lot of time) to loosen, shim, tighten, check, loosen shim tighten, check, etc... etc... until I finally had a square setup. It was really bad to start with and it took a good hour to finally get it right. I ended up having to use about 6 shims total. (edit: if you print a square and it's not perfectly square, it will ruin every project you try to use it for).

[@frankroquemore4946]

I normally only subscribe to a channel when: 1. It’s a channel where I enjoy most of the videos I watch 2. The videos are ones that I WANT to be spending my time on (I might enjoy fail compilations, but I’d never subscribe to a fail channel because I don’t want to encourage myself to waste time) You just got a new subscriber! And I’ve only seen two of your videos. lol that’s about as fast as I’ve ever subscribed to anyone. I really hope your channel blows up because you give some great information in a great package. Don’t be discouraged by a low subscriber count. I think many people (especially in the technical side of KZbin) are slow to jump onto a bandwagon until that bandwagon is “proven” to those people. Your insanely rapid rise in view count should be an indicator of how unexpectedly helpful your videos are, and I think the subscriber count will lag behind but it will climb if you keep doing what you’re doing.
