[@schizophrenicgaming365]

Repair over replace is something we need to embrace as a society

[@Zie_carpentry]

Excuseme 🤝🤝🤝

[@scottgriz]

I've repaired my vacuum cleaner twice with my 3D printer. Keeping stuff going is so much fun.

[@shelbyseelbach9568]

RE-EMBRACE. Repair used to be the norm for most everything, not all that long ago.

[@stillinfamous]

Couldn’t agree more! I’d much rather spend an hour or two making a part by hand then buying a new one.

[@yupinli]

Hi Morley, thanks again for the repair! I reinstalled my scooter holder with a bit of give and it is working beautifully. I would have never thought to use epoxy!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s awesome to hear! It was great meeting you, thanks for being part of the video 😊

[@bbrachman]

Possibly the most interesting, fun video I have seen in a long time. Fixing things is so cool and satisfying. Next time, count the number of people who could have fixed their item without a 3D printer. To you and me, repairing is natural. Most it is not.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I’m excited to do this again

[@bbrachman]

@@MorleyKert The fun thing was that you had mostly successes. (from the video) also, the 'in use' images nailed the fix. I just wish I was as fluent in Fusion 360 as you are. Everything seems like a challenge to make for me.

[@MorleyKert]

@@bbrachman keep practicing!

[@LongerLJ]

yeah! I love it! I love people like Morley!

[@ebb632]

This is something to revolve your channel around, wholesome, entertaining, and there's the endless intrigue in new items and new repairs!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! Definitely gonna do more 3D printed repairs 😊

[@shibbleswentworth]

great idea!! you should contract services to the local library to be an in-house designer with office hours :) We can support 3d printers to libraries to really expand public access, use, and knowledge!

[@home-lab]

Pink, pink and do not forget the pink filament! Thanks for sharing this video; it’s was fun to watch

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@DannyChinchilla1987]

Love all the functional prints & how you took the time to educate other on 3D printing!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! All of the conversations were probably the best part of the day. A lot of people had never seen a 3D printer before and just wanted to learn more and watch them work!

[@piemangamez8456]

Imo this is true functional prints. This is one of the best uses for 3d printing. Great job Morley

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@JuniperandSixth]

Your last two videos have been absolute home runs! Love seeing you helping the community and keeping items out of the landfill

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! 😊❤️

[@CrustyBoot]

Really liked this concept for a video! Love when people can immediately see the value in printing like this.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@trohn_javolta8485]

This is the best promotional video for 3d printing in general I can think of! I really liked it and hope you'll be doing this again.

[@MorleyKert]

That's so great to hear! I hope to do it again soon.

[@kazolar]

How do you not have pink ;) my daughter is almost 9 and I’ve been making stuff for her for as long she could talk and ask for whatever (Pokemon, muppets, Among us...), I have stocked up on multiple shades of pink, regular pla, glitter, petg. Had to make sure I had the right shades of everything after my son started asking for Spider-Man things. Great video. Might be something I may do after my bambu labs x1 arrives, key is show people that 3D printing can be fast, my other machines aren’t very portable, even my voron 2.4 is not very easy to move around.

[@m97120]

This was dope! I want to see more of this. Solving people's small problems through the power of "magic" and wholesomeness. And preventing things from landing in the trash! That lady had it on point. Sometimes a tiny part breaks and and it's game over for the whole thing. The next thing after Right to Repair should be Right to Replicate if a company doesn't want to sell affordable replacement parts.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching! Definitely gonna make more videos like this

[@marsgizmo]

super cool idea! 👏😎

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@Coilboii]

this was a really good idea, haven't seen any other of your videos. awesome!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@daliasprints9798]

Love this. I feel like it's an application where faster printers would really shine, too.

[@MorleyKert]

Definitely! Thanks for watching :)

[@SoapyCilantro]

LOVED this! Would make for an amazing series + opportunity to partner up with other makers. Keep ‘em coming man, you’re killing it!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Yeah I definitely want to do it again

[@roymorgan7748]

New subscriber, enjoying the content so far and don't forget the pink filament.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Haha it's on order :)

[@BasedBidoof]

I love that moment at 9:50, where it clicks. That's one of my favorite things about 3D printing.

[@MorleyKert]

Yes! So satisfying.

[@davebauerart]

A perfect evolution of fixing things around your own house. It’s really cool to see everyone who was on board for the concept.

[@r4z0r84]

Very nice, this is pretty much all I use my 3d printer for, I work at 5 schools so plenty of things break all the time, fixed doors, flag poles, key holders, and anything else that breaks, such a great idea to have randoms off the street for repairs would improve your 3d skills by having to create random objects, so satisfying when it fits on the first print XD

[@Zie_carpentry]

👍👍👍👍

[@JesperMakes]

I just love your approach here Morley, and the little dramas revolving around the repairs. Also your girlfriend does a great job of filming!

[@MorleyKert]

She's the best!

[@PolishTaekwondo]

I love the idea of fixing instead of throwing it away. Great initiative.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@0xteknogeek]

now THIS is what 3D printing is all about!! prototyping, simple fixes, helping out the community. love it 😊

[@MorleyKert]

Yes!! Thanks for watching 😊

[@iaincampbell3119]

Cool to see the results of this. I was curious how it would work out. My biggest concern was length of time it would take to print things but seems like you were able to do some smaller prints

[@youngsuk3329]

Tks for inspiring people to repair stuff instead of throwing away damaged ones. Also you rock

[@greggv8]

For the scooter holder a thin back plate epoxied on would strengthen it and prevent it breaking again at a different layer line. Make it 4 layers thick.

[@GoldenTV3]

This would be a great idea for high school students who are in engineering classes or are thinking of going into engineering. Helps build a skill set, develops problem solving, helps out the community, etc..

[@Zie_carpentry]

👍👍

[@bowieinc]

What a great video! I really enjoyed it. Fixing peoples stuff with my 3D printers is my absolute favorite thing to do!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! It's such a great feeling.

[@evanbarnes9984]

I'm going to have to set something like this up once my classes are back in session! Can do this for my school families

[@iansime]

Awesome idea and great way to help people!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I gotta give credit to Van Neistat for inspiring this project :)

[@CrashnServers]

I think I'm more impressed with the customers knowing how a 3d print would help fix their item.

[@milhooz]

Great initiative. A comment for the guy who printed the scooter holder if he ever comes across this video: the part could have been stronger if printed in the other direction. Always think of which direction the forces will be applied when designing an element, I would have put it vertically on the print bed so the hook and surface on the wall are all part of the same layer. In this case, it probably broke during installation on the wall so that might not have changed anything but still a good idea to keep that in mind.

1:48 for those who are interested... The fastest speed skating 500 metres by a male athlete is 33.61 seconds, by Pavel Kulizhnikov (Russia) at the ISU World Cup Speed Skating Final in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, on 9 March 2019.

[@timgarrett203]

Watched all 3 of these repair videos. So good! Your patients, cad skills, friendliness and upbeat, positive personality really gives a great public insight into the maker community. I think you have a good model for a little shop around the corner! Your community seems really nice!

[@emma70707]

Would love to see more of these!

[@Sethcor]

Realy neat consept

[@GermNick]

Very cool of you to do. I love this, its the best public outreach of what 3d printing can do for people ive ever seen.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@simon_samuelsson]

This is awesome. I do this type of thing on my spare time, helping people repair their stuff. It saddens me how much get thrown away because of a small broken pice and no way of getting a new one. I like 3d printing for what it enables me to do. But there is no way for me to do it as a business, people can't pay for the real cost. I love this video for the joy and for seeing more people than me doing it. Thank you.

[@imqqmi]

I really like these kinds of repairs! I did some of it myself, with a fridge door shelve, one of the hooks were broken off. I've filed it down square and fitted a 3d printed filler and glued it in. Knobs with threads, broken off threaded plastic holes etc.

[@Convolutedtubules]

This should be open 24/7! Great work.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@jotownzer473]

Loved this. Fun, practical and community building!

[@theend1555]

That second one was very literal, actually repairing a 3D print.

[@lortnokmeister]

love it! well done

[@josepharnson8153]

Absolutely love your videos Morley! What a fun way to give back to your community. It was perfect the fixes were mostly small! Can't wait for the next installment of Morley Repairs a Community haha

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@amandioreal2293]

It's nice to see people happy. Great work

[@MorleyKert]

😊❤️

[@42Pursuit]

Super fun and unique idea! Love it!

[@MrRjk2011]

Great video and top skills. I enjoy printing parts for the home but never really thought about offering this to people. Seeing the satisfaction of broken things being restored via 3D printing is awesome. Have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing what you guys do next.

[@coblaze1]

This is SO COOL! Bravo!

[@XwarblastX]

Awesome job! I love getting more and more people into 3d printing. And the fact that you even put in the first prototypes instead of cutting it out gives ma a lot more confidence in my ability to recreate things with calipers haha.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I’m a huge fan of getting to the first prototype as fast as possible and accepting it wont be perfect, taking measurements from that and using it to make a second, better version! Especially for really small stuff like this.

[@AstroGetm]

Such great energy! Love the vibes :)

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

Loved this!!! Great job Morley…showing people how handy it is to have a 3d printer or know someone close who has one. And Yes, pink Filament for sure!!

[@berglundsimon]

This is what I love with 3d printing ♥️

[@sebastiansombra]

wow! Loved your video. Lots of great things happening: i) Getting people into 3D, ii) creating awareness of not just throwing things away and buying new ones with all the environment issues related to packaging, shipping, etc; iii) making new friends! Congratulations!

[@swanee]

Wow, this is such a great idea!

[@SchizSchool]

I’m impressed that you were able to get footage that’s not just you explaining the various limitations of 3D printing to strangers

[@LarryStrawson]

I love the concept and I love the old typewritten message at the end, Classic!!

[@Taylachteam]

Please make this a series!!

[@MorleyKert]

Hoping to do more soon!

[@CD_Zr0]

The litte kid tying to give you a cupcake was so cute

[@bertybotsbohne622]

stunning performance - construct on the fly. dude great work

[@SoManyTopics]

Due to your personality and the way you are with people, my advice for you is to prepare yourself for success because the world needs more of what your bringing, and by the simple nature of supply and demand, that will push you to the front. Keep doing what you're doing, it's coming.

[@MorleyKert]

Wow that’s so nice, thank you so much 😊❤️

[@panther782]

Obsessed! Love it.

[@KTPDAILY]

WELL DONE --- SO NICE

[@mlob535]

Oh man! I love this!! You’re so generous for offering this! This is the throw away culture so having options to repair is great! I hope others would do this! Wish you were in Houston!

[@JJrocks2500]

Another great video this kind of content is definitely needed. Nice job Morley

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@scottyboy10]

Amazing work Morley! 👍

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@FunDumb]

I pass by here on the daily. I'll have to check this out next time.

[@MorleyKert]

Awesome! I definitely will do it again and both myself and the maker bean will promote it in advance.

[@Heikousen9]

I'm in a FB group that's all about repairing stuff so they don't have to throw or buy things and I love it, but sometimes things are too specific to be replaced (like the fan button in this video) so 3D printing it's indeed helpful. I bought some cheap fans that keep falling because the plastic base was crooked, so 3d printing could've spared me a lot of pain 😂

[@Str8Spi3]

Loved the concept of the video. Keep up the good work.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@LiamWelfordPhotography]

Brilliant uplifting video, must get my 3d printer set up again.

[@MrKretzsches]

What a cool idea! Loved the mix of doing something practical and introducing strangers to 3d printing who may have never seen a printer before. I am always curious about the actual design part, but I guess it's harder to show that in such a setting.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I show the in-depth design process in a lot of my other 3D printing videos 😊

[@scorrigan87]

This is awesome!!! Please do more videos like this!!!!!!

[@MorleyKert]

I will, thank you!

[@tonyb9785]

Fantastic idea and best video yet IMO. I'll definitely be keeping this idea in the back of my head; definitely a very cool way to help people, meet new people, expand your own problem solving abilities, and expose people to 3d printing, and some of the manufacturing process. I could definitely see this being a good way to also get your name out, if you wanted to take on more complex projects for a money.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@mark7888]

Wow. I love the idea. Great video! 😁

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@dd884e5d8a]

Amazing idea!

[@inclinedesigns]

that is awesome you did this. Looked like fun

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! It was a great time 😊

[@Alanworman]

This totally rocks. Ive been part of somthing simalaur. We had someone doing similar to you. Had a uni student doing electronics. And I did some manual fixing stuff, gluing and WD40. The interaction with the lady in the pink top was awesome, you shared and demo great knowledge with the capillaries. And you made her part of the fixing by having to come up with a soulition for the ballest. I belive fixing stuff is a Makers super power! Good on you, would love to see you do this more and may be end up with a tip or a talk through of something you did that day.

[@kurtnelle]

I think this 1 video just restored my faith in 3d printing.

[@grywolf99]

Loving the positive vibes and helpful spirit you share. Doing good things!!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! 😊❤️

[@joshmcdaniel5738]

Dude that's awesome!

[@MrGarib12]

Its so wild to see local watering holes! Great content as usual.

[@MorleyKert]

Haha awesome! Maybe I'll see you there sometime

[@Justadudechillin]

Dude this is awesome

[@cloeducationtv]

Thats really cool to use your engineering skills to help people, very awesome!

[@MorleyKert]

[@mlubecke]

What a great way to get people interested in 3d printing. And you are so amazing and nice. We need more people like you in this world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much!

[@TheWeekendDIYer]

Really enjoyed this video! Had to be a great feeling helping these people out!

[@MorleyKert]

Mate, that was so nice of you do to this and spread 3d geekness :D Nice job!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@samcoleman8275]

Very cool video - I'm in the process of rehabbing my first 3d printer. Keep up the good work!!!

[@Mellow_labs]

Great video idea, really makes me want to do this in my area.

[@MoonshineMetalworks]

Such a great idea! Hopefully you've inspired more people to do the same!

[@MrRaghu288]

Inspiring to learn 3D printing!! Thanking you

[@jn7818]

Just found your channel. Love the vids I have watched so far. Keep it up!

[@raulneyra4751]

Your channel makes me want to start 3D Printing, thank you!

Thanks for watching!

[@griffinmakes]

Great video man!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@sithsiri]

I love this channel so much :) I’ve been starting to play with parametric design stuff and your videos have been super helpful. And hell yeah, get some pink!

[@alexrobles7744]

Damn, I can't love this post enough. You not only show us how you repair daily stuff with 3d printer, show us how to use fusion to make it.. you even went out to the masses to spread the words. Yes, we can do our own repairs sometimes. 3d printing is awesome.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching and the kind words 😊❤️
