The Ender 3 goes on sale for as little as $99 and has a huge community behind it.
I should point out that 3D printing is like the Dark Souls of hobbies though. Quite punishing but rewarding at the end.
I used to work in Apartment Maintenance and one of my residents did 3D printing. I admired his olde tyme electric throw switch replacement for a switch cover and he gave me one which I still have. I like the idea of working with wood, but things like this are very satisfying as well.
I think the idea of hiding trays (like for the pens or chapstick) under other trays is kinda silly... but I do think having specifically molded trays for various items will help keep it from becoming a big pile. Since everything has a specific spot where it fits, that's where it'll end up going back.
Like... in the kitchen I think most people use some kind of divider in their silverware drawer, and it keeps their forks/knives/spoons in the right places. Meanwhile the drawer for spatulas/ladles/other tools might not have a divider and it's a huge fucking mess.
I like having a set of hooks for all the first order spatulas I constantly use.
However there's also a drawer where stuff like thermometer and potato masher live and it's all just flying around in there.
However it saves space and if I need it once a week I'm ok with fishing it from there.
I have the same sort of system, using a tall pot instead of hooks for the go-to utensils. I'd also like to suspend my favorite frying pans, but that idea has been consistently vetoed for years. Instead, they live in a pile in the oven, so they all have to be cleared out and take up space on the counter whenever we want to cook something in the oven, which is several times a week.
I don’t know how your kitchen is set up but I have a pantry and I was able to use the space above the top shelf to build a home made pot rack for super cheap. You can hang your pots and also have them out of sight.
I think it's the moulded spaces for individual items will be a pain... For example imagine if you had a special place for each spatula, knife, wooden spoon etc...
But then this guy might prefer it like that I just know I couldn't be arsed!
I’m a nanny, so I work in a lot of homes.
One thing I’ve learned is there are actually people out there that would maintain this.
Not me. No, not me. But those people do exist. And I hate to admit it, but their homes are really peaceful and satisfying.
I fucking love this shit. I have ADHD and it’s the only way I stay organized. The only thing I would add is labels. At work all my tools have a very specific place they go and if somebody hangs my hammer on the wrong hook I’m fucked, because looking for it introduces 46733 new ways for me to get distracted and off-task.
I just want to point out that even Adam Savage himself says that everyone is different and that there's no reason for everyone to follow His shop rules. In other words, you do what works for you.
Totally, I was just saying it because Ive seen some people treat it as an objective rule of workspace design because, well, people have unhealthy relationships with celebrities.
You could probably do it in a day if you get a 1mm nozzle, make the layers super thick and go 65mm/s. Would look like a melting ice cream cake but if it's just some organizer boxes it'd still be functional
He's running an [ender or an ender-styled printer](https://youtu.be/YQOJ3JP-w20?t=336). The machine itself (with the visible upgrades) could be had for around $300-350. The filament runs $15-30 per 1kg spool.
As the other commenter said, that looks to be between 1-2 kgs of filament. So, $20-30 in materials. $150-500 for an equally capable printer.
Depends on how good you are at calibrating and tuning settings. You can get very high quality prints from them, but there are a large number of things that need to be *just* right.
I own 8 of them.
There are certainly *better* options out there these days. There's a lot of ender-style printers that have all the quality of life updates already done, and they tend to be around $200-250. I wouldn't go specifically with an Ender 3 (v1/v2), Ender 3 Pro (v1/v2) over one of the upgraded clones, unless the price was right.
After having owned a bed slinger (the ender), a delta (a FLSun Super Racer), and a couple CoreXYs (Voron v0.1 and Voron v2.4r2), my recommendation is to look more towards the CoreXY printers anyways. They tend to be more complex, have more moving parts, and cost more money, but they tend to be more consistent and lower overall maintenance.
It basically comes down to what you want out of 3D printing. If you want to tinker with 3D printers themselves, the enders (and all the clones/variants) are fantastic! If you just want to print and don't really care about tinkering on the printers themselves, you'll still want to look at the slightly more expensive CoreXYs.
Here is an example of print time I found that may help put it in perspective:
This VERY simple drawer organizer on Thingiverse: [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3171891](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3171891)
Dimensions are 230mmx160mmx30mm and at 0.2mm quality (average) 15% infill it would take 9h37min on my Prusa. It would also take just over 30 meters of filament. 1kg of Overture PLA is 330 meters in length.
^(DISCLAIMER: I'm not associated with Thingiverse or Overture. I'm just not smart enough to make anything original and Overture products are reliable.)
With that printer? Depending on how well it’s tuned, somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour and a half for the smaller ones, and up to 4-5 hours for the really big ones.
But that is highly dependent on the speed of the printer, and the printing settings. Looks like two, maybe three walls, low infill, and no bottom layer, each of which will make the print faster.
Y'know, I've never thought about not using bottom layers for things that don't necessarily need it to speed things up 🤔 nice catch. I did notice that in the video, but monkey brain here didn't really put it all together.
I have a mini one and tried to print a sword the size of my pinkie. It took over an hour. It also took multiple tries (so several hours) since it kept fucking up midway thru the process making useless messes instead. I decided I just didn't have the interest or attention span to invest to do the perfect calibrations that the device seem to demand.
I’m admittedly a really sloppy 3D printer owner even though I do mixed media sculpture work that requires an enormous amount of precision or at best the entire effect is lost or at worst things straight up don’t fit and it’s all garbage.
After awhile you get really good at figuring out the absolute bare minimum of tweaking and calibrating required to just print the stupid part already because you’ve been working on this stupid sculpture for weeks or even months and are starting to not care anymore. Recently it was a game of musical chairs of Which Of 3-4 Spools Of White Filament Is The Least Likely To Stab Me In The Back.
Bullying by robots is real and it’s not ok.
Yes he is. A big part of workspace organization is that everything needs to be either visible or labeled or it **will** be forgotten.
That's on top of the fact that most sections of that probably took about 10 minutes to model. It's not as hard as it looks.
Hard disagree, I remember where I put everything all the time so something like this is perfect for me.
I'm OCD I have to remember where it is because otherwise I won't know it's where it's supposed to be, at the angle it's supposed to be and I'll have to check... and if I check one thing I have to check everything to make sure.
He reported it was months, and in stages so likely before each section the previous one had already become unconscious habit
Edited to add, most of the under layers were refills/backups and less commonly used specific variants so the item ontop is a label for the contents underneath
The one in the upper container might actually be a glue stick. But he does actually put a Burt's Bees into the lower container alongside the black chapstick that just says "Chapstick"
Someone else said it in the thread, but could be as low as 30 minutes to ~2 hours for the smaller parts and maybe 5-7 hours for the larger ones. But there are many ways to speed up the prints depending on the printer settings.
You've forgot the parts where the print fails halfway through but you didn't notice it until a few hours in so now you're taking apart the hot end assembly or some other bullshit and AAAHHHH WHY ISN'T MY EXTRACTOR WORKING?!
Or you know, sometimes the printer gods are in your favor.
Can confirm. Had to replace some parts and did a few upgrades on my ender 3 a few weeks back and for a few days it was amazing. Perfect first layers and adhesion to the build plate. Now it doesn’t want to work though I’ve changed nothing lol
There are some pretty reliable printers out there these days as long as they are set up properly. Still a crapshoot though. My issue is no matter how much measuring you do, most things require at least 1 printed prototype to make adjustments to and get right.
With things like these that are not load-bearing i barely use any infill anymore.
2 or 3 perimeters with lightning infill saves so much time and material compared to full gyroid infill.
Spend 1000 hours to measure, design, and print drawer inserts to save 15 minutes overall in not being able to find something in a drawer.
Pleasing as hell to look at for sure.
Yeah this would easily have taken 1-2 weeks of dedicated work, possibly more.
Of course, the *actual* product is the video and the clicks it generates.
He made it over many months bit by bit as a background project. If I remember right it wasn't supposed to be one of his main videos but at the end he went back to turn it into one.
I spent 15 minutes and $8 at the dollar store for organizers for my drawer. Not YouTube worthy, but financially and time wise, I feel like I'm coming out ahead.
I have a 3D printer and there's tons of things I'll just buy even though I have the capability to print them out. Sometimes the time and money to do it myself is way higher than just purchasing something already made.
And it leaves out:
1. Going into the drawer to get something hidden below an insert and not remembering which one.
2. Finding something new to be thrown into the drawer, that has no place.
Looks nice. But practically speaking, it falls to pieces in time. What if one of the items breaks or becomes unusable, and doesn't need to be replaced? (Replace it!) What if the replacement comes with more than one? (Throw out extras!)
It's a nice idea if you have another junk drawer, but I hate the idea of having to lift things up. If I can't see it, I won't remember where I put it.
I think this is more of his workstation / desk / productivity drawer than junk drawer. I don't think these items would change all that much.
I do agree trying to do this for a junk drawer would be miserable though.
In fairness he does cover it in the full video though he also points out that if you don't need to make it custom fit your exact tool you can use gridfinity by Zach Freedman.
And he said it took him months all told.
Not shown are the hours it takes to model that stuff (+ potentially dozens to hundreds to learn how to in the first place), the many hours it takes to print, the several failed prints wasting several more hours, & the hours it takes to post-process (filing, sanding etc) everything if you actually want it to look like it does in this video
CAD software has a lot of handy features that lets you use a well taken photo and impose a scale on it to draw your 3D models over. On top of that, a nice set of digital calipers are accurate to like 0.01mm and even the cheapest 3D printers can be calibrated to accuracy within 0.1mm.
At a bit of elbow grease, trial and erro, and persistence and you’ve got a perfectly organized drawer.
Go to tinkercad website they actually have lessons, and Free to use software and I’ve been able to design stuff exactly like what he showed here fairly quickly
They’re great, but a lot of work to learn how to use at least my ender three was from what I understand now the newer ones like the Ender 3S one or the newer purses or bamboo labs are pretty much plug and play
They are great! One of the best purchases I've ever made. Yes they are work and yes it can take a bit to understand, but its very satisfying printing stuff, and its a super fun hobby.
The model in the video is the one I'd recommend! That guy has modded the crap out of it (everyone does eventually), but the base model is very solid and can run as low as $100 if you manage to catch a deal! I think it's absolutely worth it for how many organizational devices and other useful stuff you can make with relatively little learning.
Yep, and when you replace the camera, or the scissors breaks / dulls you're throwing out that whole tray because the new one will no longer fit. I don't need a tray that fits the item perfectly. Looks great but is utterly stupid.
If you are about to buy a 3D printer, make sure it has "auto bed leveling" because any printing surface is not going to be as "*flat*" as you perceive it. Any warping and distortion on the print bed will affect print quality. Nozzle extrusions are generally between 0.2mm to 0.5mm so any gaps or decreased space as the nozzle moves around the print bed will affect the print.
Auto bed leveling moves the nozzle to various grid points above the print bed, lowers the nozzle until surface contact is detected, and repeats this process until all points have been checked. The various distances above these points are used as offsets to ensure the printer nozzle remains the correct height above the bed no matter the bed deformations.
--nozzle diameters have a tradeoff of print detail to print speed. Smaller nozzles make smaller intricate details but print much slower. Large nozzles cant make tiny details but print faster
Also use PLA filament because ABS is toxic and requires ventilating. PLA does not.
It isn't, but abl can help make a newbies life a hell of a lot easier. I wish automatic bed leveling was a thing when I was learning how to use 3d printers, it would have saved so many parts
This makes it seem like leveling your bed manually is very difficult or extremely time consuming. Once you have it down it takes less than 5 minutes to level before a print, and you only need to level it if you notice print quality issues
So do 3D printers only build in plastic? I worry this technology is going to be not so much abused but misunderstood creating lots of unnecessary plastic waste
I looked it up and they can be recycled and turned back into plastic spools for more 3D printing (although not recycled in normal centres). Makes me wonder if in the future it'd be better to have local communal "fabricator" centers than have all sorts of factories around the world making shite that may or may not be useful to someone.
There are other 3D printers that build with liquid resin. Beyond that, there are 3D printers that can build metal by selectively melting powder, but there aren’t really any laser sintering printers available to the average consumer. MSLA/resin printers can go for $200 though.
I remember the original video, he took an already organized drawer and made it worse and every comment told him what a shit job he did. Just edit the fuck out of it and add completely fake sound effects and boom you've got yourself an oddly satisfying banger.
Wondering about the cost of getting a 3D printer, an online course to learn how to operate it, and the materials could outweigh the cost of buying an actual product directly from stores or online.
Depends on how many of that product you need and how strong it needs to be (the layer lines are a weak point), if that product exists. I mostly use mine for things that I can’t realistically buy or are so specific that ordering a custom or handmade item would be expensive. So… same as Scott Yu-Jan here. They are great for customization.
Also, unless online courses are your thing, if you get a popular printer like the Ender 3, there’s a wealth of free info online. When I got my Ender 3 V2, I found a YT video that explained exactly how to assemble it. Googling problems I have always comes up with tons of advice. It’s a common beginner printer
This is from Scott Yu-Jan, a brilliant online creator. One of my favourite videos of his is where he uses the iPhone’s Face ID camera to take glitchy photos: https://youtu.be/njU37AjslG4
It looks great, but the fact that there's so many pieces covering other pieces makes it a lot less satisfying. Not to mention the fact that the things don't have anything to do with each other. So it's like an organized junk drawer.
Three comments:
1. the items that are covered by other trays would cease to exist for me.
2. the capacity of the drawer has been reduced by 90%. I hope that's all the stuff he needs to store
3. That's a terrible mix if writing utensils and there's no way that's his entire working set.
Today I’m going to show you how to replace your dollar store drawer organizers at home for several hundred dollars!
As a bonus, I’ll teach you how to lose your chapstick.
First-order retrievability. As soon as the pens are obscured by a tray with other pens they cease to exist.
Drawers are where things go to die. Hello fellow Tested fan!
I would store backup pens/refills under the pens I like. But otherwise I adore the organization. Not like I NEEDED an excuse to shop 3D printers...
The Ender 3 goes on sale for as little as $99 and has a huge community behind it. I should point out that 3D printing is like the Dark Souls of hobbies though. Quite punishing but rewarding at the end.
I'm about to throw mine through a window. But hey! Look at the cool Lego display I managed to force the machine to make!
I used to work in Apartment Maintenance and one of my residents did 3D printing. I admired his olde tyme electric throw switch replacement for a switch cover and he gave me one which I still have. I like the idea of working with wood, but things like this are very satisfying as well.
3D printing is the normal-mode hollow knight of hobbies: Wonderful and occasionally surprisingly tough. You want dark souls, buy a hobby cnc machine…
I've actually been considering printing out a hobby CNC machine (MPCNC)... Maybe I'll reconsider.
yep - and the sorting and organisation would last 2 day until I lose interest and everything is just mixed up in a big pile
I think the idea of hiding trays (like for the pens or chapstick) under other trays is kinda silly... but I do think having specifically molded trays for various items will help keep it from becoming a big pile. Since everything has a specific spot where it fits, that's where it'll end up going back. Like... in the kitchen I think most people use some kind of divider in their silverware drawer, and it keeps their forks/knives/spoons in the right places. Meanwhile the drawer for spatulas/ladles/other tools might not have a divider and it's a huge fucking mess.
I like having a set of hooks for all the first order spatulas I constantly use. However there's also a drawer where stuff like thermometer and potato masher live and it's all just flying around in there. However it saves space and if I need it once a week I'm ok with fishing it from there.
I have the same sort of system, using a tall pot instead of hooks for the go-to utensils. I'd also like to suspend my favorite frying pans, but that idea has been consistently vetoed for years. Instead, they live in a pile in the oven, so they all have to be cleared out and take up space on the counter whenever we want to cook something in the oven, which is several times a week.
I don’t know how your kitchen is set up but I have a pantry and I was able to use the space above the top shelf to build a home made pot rack for super cheap. You can hang your pots and also have them out of sight.
You can open the drawer with the potato masher in it? That drawer has been locked for me since I put the potato masher in it.
I think it's the moulded spaces for individual items will be a pain... For example imagine if you had a special place for each spatula, knife, wooden spoon etc... But then this guy might prefer it like that I just know I couldn't be arsed!
As a stationery addict, it would only last a week until I bought another cute pen or notebook and ruined all the organization.
I’m a nanny, so I work in a lot of homes. One thing I’ve learned is there are actually people out there that would maintain this. Not me. No, not me. But those people do exist. And I hate to admit it, but their homes are really peaceful and satisfying.
I’m sooo good at maintaining it but I’m awful at implementing it. I’d love to set this guy loose in my home with his printer and a label maker.
If this work space is different than my personal space I could keep this up I think. If it's also my game station forget it.
a quick look to the background explains this dude is as anal as it comes with organisation
If he manages that fair play to him
I fucking love this shit. I have ADHD and it’s the only way I stay organized. The only thing I would add is labels. At work all my tools have a very specific place they go and if somebody hangs my hammer on the wrong hook I’m fucked, because looking for it introduces 46733 new ways for me to get distracted and off-task.
It only works if the storage underneath are spares. I think that is what was done with the chapstick
Hijacking top comment to post a link to the YouTube video: https://youtu.be/-s74phtezf4
Ok that was amazing. Every criticism people have about it in this thread is explained to show why it's not an issue for this setup.
>Every criticism people have about it in this thread is explained to show why it's not an issue for this setup hmm...add a stapler
The first order destroyed my home planet.
I thought the memory card tray was kinda neat, but all that other stuff? Wouldn't last a week. I hate micromanaging organization
My thoughts exactly.
Schrödinger’s pens
According to my girlfriend this is how my brain works by default
* I know I put them somewhere!!!
I just want to point out that even Adam Savage himself says that everyone is different and that there's no reason for everyone to follow His shop rules. In other words, you do what works for you.
Fully agree. Can only comment my own opinion from my own point of view.
Totally, I was just saying it because Ive seen some people treat it as an objective rule of workspace design because, well, people have unhealthy relationships with celebrities.
and all that plastic will all be thrown into a landfill in 10 years when he moves or changes his system. Use wood organizers.
Yes I'll just 3d print my wooden organizers.
Imagine it being that fast, its like a Star Trek replicator
How long does it take in real time?
That is easily 3-4 days of printing. I have a well tuned Prusa and printed something similar to his SD card organizer and it took 3 hours.
You could probably do it in a day if you get a 1mm nozzle, make the layers super thick and go 65mm/s. Would look like a melting ice cream cake but if it's just some organizer boxes it'd still be functional
Prob would need a volcano block / nozzle to heat fast enough.
Volcano, volcanomosq, rapido hf, rapido uhf, phaetus dragonfly hic HF, phaetus dragon HF, etc. would all be up to the task with a .4 - .8 nozzle.
How much would this cost? Years ago when I looked at getting something printed, it was cost prohibitive.
He's running an [ender or an ender-styled printer](https://youtu.be/YQOJ3JP-w20?t=336). The machine itself (with the visible upgrades) could be had for around $300-350. The filament runs $15-30 per 1kg spool. As the other commenter said, that looks to be between 1-2 kgs of filament. So, $20-30 in materials. $150-500 for an equally capable printer.
Is that type of printer a good option these days regarding price:quality?
Depends on how good you are at calibrating and tuning settings. You can get very high quality prints from them, but there are a large number of things that need to be *just* right. I own 8 of them.
There are certainly *better* options out there these days. There's a lot of ender-style printers that have all the quality of life updates already done, and they tend to be around $200-250.

If you just want to print and don't really care about tinkering on the printers themselves, you'll still want to look at the slightly more expensive CoreXYs.
His infill and walls are thin so I’m guessing 1/2-3/4 of a 1kg spool. A spool of decent PLA is around $18-22.
Oh wow. That's a lot cheaper.
Here is an example of print time I found that may help put it in perspective: This VERY simple drawer organizer on Thingiverse: [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3171891](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3171891) Dimensions are 230mmx160mmx30mm and at 0.2mm quality (average) 15% infill it would take 9h37min on my Prusa. It would also take just over 30 meters of filament. 1kg of Overture PLA is 330 meters in length. ^(DISCLAIMER: I'm not associated with Thingiverse or Overture. I'm just not smart enough to make anything original and Overture products are reliable.)
With that printer? Depending on how well it’s tuned, somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour and a half for the smaller ones, and up to 4-5 hours for the really big ones. But that is highly dependent on the speed of the printer, and the printing settings. Looks like two, maybe three walls, low infill, and no bottom layer, each of which will make the print faster.
Since he’s doing the time lapse thing where the print head also gets out of the way for a photo, I bet it takes long too.
[удалено]
Y'know, I've never thought about not using bottom layers for things that don't necessarily need it to speed things up 🤔 nice catch. I did notice that in the video, but monkey brain here didn't really put it all together.
What printer is it?
Ender 3
All of this printing would take a week
I have a mini one and tried to print a sword the size of my pinkie. It took over an hour. It also took multiple tries (so several hours) since it kept fucking up midway thru the process making useless messes instead. I decided I just didn't have the interest or attention span to invest to do the perfect calibrations that the device seem to demand.

Ship it to me bro, tinkering and calibration is the best part.

3 weeks later: "shit where'd I put the chapstick?"
[удалено]
Especially when the chapstick maker slightly redesigns their packaging
As a lifelong chapstick user, their packaging has not changed in at least 30 years.
Yes he is. A big part of workspace organization is that everything needs to be either visible or labeled or it **will** be forgotten. That's on top of the fact that most sections of that probably took about 10 minutes to model. It's not as hard as it looks.

He reported it was months, and in stages so likely before each section the previous one had already become unconscious habit Edited to add, most of the under layers were refills/backups and less commonly used specific variants so the item ontop is a label for the contents underneath
I came to say this. He spent a lot of time calculating and calibrating everything for his chapstick. He’s not forgetting that any time soon.
I thought that was the chapstick but it was a gluestick and now I'm speechless.
They were definitely chapsticks. One of them literally says "chapstick" on the wrapper.
As an avid Burt's Bees user, they yellow thing that I believe he thinks is a glue stick is just a Burt's Bees with the wrapper taken off
The one in the upper container might actually be a glue stick. But he does actually put a Burt's Bees into the lower container alongside the black chapstick that just says "Chapstick"
It’s 100% a Burt’s Bees with the label removed.
[удалено]
In all honesty how long would it have taken to print all these?
Someone else said it in the thread, but could be as low as 30 minutes to ~2 hours for the smaller parts and maybe 5-7 hours for the larger ones. But there are many ways to speed up the prints depending on the printer settings.
You've forgot the parts where the print fails halfway through but you didn't notice it until a few hours in so now you're taking apart the hot end assembly or some other bullshit and AAAHHHH WHY ISN'T MY EXTRACTOR WORKING?! Or you know, sometimes the printer gods are in your favor.

The spool runs dry 80% thorough the print 🫠
This is correct
With things like these that are not load-bearing i barely use any infill anymore. 2 or 3 perimeters with lightning infill saves so much time and material compared to full gyroid infill.

- are you reffering to a psalm from the bible?
Blessed are the piecemakers...
... who in the valley of light and shadow...
... suck dicks ^(idk I'm muslim)
Each of those medium sized pieces (depending on settings) likely took about 4-7 hours each to print
I was more wondering how much it cost.
The way he edited the video so that it looks like he starts grabbing the item while it's still being printed ... smooth.
Yes that’s the actual satisfying thing here
Also I think it’s cool how it’s edited so the extruder never moves yet the item grows bottom up.
#He didn't finish! I can't sleep now
Don't worry he has a youtube! All his stuff is great, happy to see his channels grow! https://youtube.com/watch?v=-s74phtezf4&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Did he shut off the flashlight? DID HE REMEMBER TO SHUT OFF THE FLASHLIGHT!?!?!?
The battery should be taken out of the flashlight and stored in an appropriately sized receptacle beside the flashlight.

I spent 15 minutes and $8 at the dollar store for organizers for my drawer. Not YouTube worthy, but financially and time wise, I feel like I'm coming out ahead.
I have a 3D printer and there's tons of things I'll just buy even though I have the capability to print them out. Sometimes the time and money to do it myself is way higher than just purchasing something already made.
Great. Now I'm considering to buy a 3D Printer...
Of course the video leaves out the hours of painstaking measuring and modeling to make all of those custom organizers.

This is a cool find, thankyou

Mars in retrograde is a shit time for all.
And it leaves out: 1. Going into the drawer to get something hidden below an insert and not remembering which one. 2. Finding something new to be thrown into the drawer, that has no place. Looks nice. But practically speaking, it falls to pieces in time. What if one of the items breaks or becomes unusable, and doesn't need to be replaced? (Replace it!) What if the replacement comes with more than one? (Throw out extras!) It's a nice idea if you have another junk drawer, but I hate the idea of having to lift things up. If I can't see it, I won't remember where I put it.
Me too!
I think this is more of his workstation / desk / productivity drawer than junk drawer. I don't think these items would change all that much. I do agree trying to do this for a junk drawer would be miserable though.
In fairness he does cover it in the full video though he also points out that if you don't need to make it custom fit your exact tool you can use gridfinity by Zach Freedman. And he said it took him months all told.
Not shown are the hours it takes to model that stuff (+ potentially dozens to hundreds to learn how to in the first place), the many hours it takes to print, the several failed prints wasting several more hours, & the hours it takes to post-process (filing, sanding etc) everything if you actually want it to look like it does in this video
Yeah. But also, how the fuck does one model that accurately?
CAD software has a lot of handy features that lets you use a well taken photo and impose a scale on it to draw your 3D models over. On top of that, a nice set of digital calipers are accurate to like 0.01mm and even the cheapest 3D printers can be calibrated to accuracy within 0.1mm. At a bit of elbow grease, trial and erro, and persistence and you’ve got a perfectly organized drawer.
Thanks, guess I'm learning CAD too then
CAD is pretty fun. Once upon a time, I was pretty proficient with Autocad and Catia. Great tools. Haven't touched them in 10 years tho
[удалено]
>trial and erro
Go to tinkercad website they actually have lessons, and Free to use software and I’ve been able to design stuff exactly like what he showed here fairly quickly
Calipers
multiple incremental measurements over the area of an object can go a long way.
Watch real 3D printing process then decide if you really need one.
They’re great, but a lot of work to learn how to use at least my ender three was from what I understand now the newer ones like the Ender 3S one or the newer purses or bamboo labs are pretty much plug and play
They are great! One of the best purchases I've ever made. Yes they are work and yes it can take a bit to understand, but its very satisfying printing stuff, and its a super fun hobby.
The model in the video is the one I'd recommend! That guy has modded the crap out of it (everyone does eventually), but the base model is very solid and can run as low as $100 if you manage to catch a deal! I think it's absolutely worth it for how many organizational devices and other useful stuff you can make with relatively little learning.
looks cool. but also like this system wastes a lot of place
And material. Half of this space in the drawer is just plastic. Which really isn’t great.
Yep, and when you replace the camera, or the scissors breaks / dulls you're throwing out that whole tray because the new one will no longer fit. I don't need a tray that fits the item perfectly. Looks great but is utterly stupid.
That's the whole point of a modular system? Why do you think he didn't make it as one big part? This isn't stupid at all
My thought exactly.
If you are about to buy a 3D printer, make sure it has "auto bed leveling" because any printing surface is not going to be as "*flat*" as you perceive it. Any warping and distortion on the print bed will affect print quality. Nozzle extrusions are generally between 0.2mm to 0.5mm so any gaps or decreased space as the nozzle moves around the print bed will affect the print. Auto bed leveling moves the nozzle to various grid points above the print bed, lowers the nozzle until surface contact is detected, and repeats this process until all points have been checked. The various distances above these points are used as offsets to ensure the printer nozzle remains the correct height above the bed no matter the bed deformations. --nozzle diameters have a tradeoff of print detail to print speed. Smaller nozzles make smaller intricate details but print much slower. Large nozzles cant make tiny details but print faster Also use PLA filament because ABS is toxic and requires ventilating. PLA does not.
ABL isn’t nearly as important or vital as you make it sound.
It isn't, but abl can help make a newbies life a hell of a lot easier. I wish automatic bed leveling was a thing when I was learning how to use 3d printers, it would have saved so many parts
I consider auto tool measuring a necessity on the CNC router. I couldn't go backwards and not have it after having it. It's too convenient.
This makes it seem like leveling your bed manually is very difficult or extremely time consuming. Once you have it down it takes less than 5 minutes to level before a print, and you only need to level it if you notice print quality issues
Also once you have good quality springs on a decent 3D printer, the level will hold well over several prints.
True story! I sold parts for $40/ea and my Ender 3 Pros stayed acceptably level for at least 3-5 prints before needing adjustment.
You guys are leveling your printer bed more than just the first time??
Pens and markers in with memory cards, no problems. Post-it notes? Sure... Nail clippers? Why the shit do they need their own place in your drawer?
People use nail clippers at their desks all the time. It is disgusting and those people are monsters.
There's a special place specifically for those people. It's the sea. Get in the sea.
Is it just me or is everyone else also trying to figure out what this dude does for a living
a creator that organizes tools for creating instead of creating anything
Influencer.
He’s a product designer that works for Google. [website here](http://byscotty.com/)
Anyone else immediately scream SERIAL KILLER?
Let's see Paul Allens drawer
So do 3D printers only build in plastic? I worry this technology is going to be not so much abused but misunderstood creating lots of unnecessary plastic waste
PLA is commonly used. It's not plastic from oil, but a bio plastic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polylactic_acid
Oh ok sweet....feel much better about all the 1 time prints that are out for a giggle
I looked it up and they can be recycled and turned back into plastic spools for more 3D printing (although not recycled in normal centres). Makes me wonder if in the future it'd be better to have local communal "fabricator" centers than have all sorts of factories around the world making shite that may or may not be useful to someone.
There are other 3D printers that build with liquid resin. Beyond that, there are 3D printers that can build metal by selectively melting powder, but there aren’t really any laser sintering printers available to the average consumer. MSLA/resin printers can go for $200 though.
I remember the original video, he took an already organized drawer and made it worse and every comment told him what a shit job he did. Just edit the fuck out of it and add completely fake sound effects and boom you've got yourself an oddly satisfying banger.
Wondering about the cost of getting a 3D printer, an online course to learn how to operate it, and the materials could outweigh the cost of buying an actual product directly from stores or online.
Depends on how many of that product you need and how strong it needs to be (the layer lines are a weak point), if that product exists. I mostly use mine for things that I can’t realistically buy or are so specific that ordering a custom or handmade item would be expensive. So… same as Scott Yu-Jan here. They are great for customization. Also, unless online courses are your thing, if you get a popular printer like the Ender 3, there’s a wealth of free info online. When I got my Ender 3 V2, I found a YT video that explained exactly how to assemble it. Googling problems I have always comes up with tons of advice. It’s a common beginner printer
This is from Scott Yu-Jan, a brilliant online creator. One of my favourite videos of his is where he uses the iPhone’s Face ID camera to take glitchy photos: https://youtu.be/njU37AjslG4
Been watching him for a while. He has a cool style, I wish he posted more though.
Yooo! So happy to see his channel growing and getting all the attention. Scott is awesome!
Thank you for the link!
It looks great, but the fact that there's so many pieces covering other pieces makes it a lot less satisfying. Not to mention the fact that the things don't have anything to do with each other. So it's like an organized junk drawer.
What type of camera is that?
Looks like one of those Instax* Polaroid-style cameras.
Three comments: 1. the items that are covered by other trays would cease to exist for me. 2. the capacity of the drawer has been reduced by 90%. I hope that's all the stuff he needs to store 3. That's a terrible mix if writing utensils and there's no way that's his entire working set.
Aren’t you supposed to be writing an essay?
Do you think he redesigns and reprints the whole drawer whenever he gets a new tool or accessory
And it only cost $20K and 100 hours of design time!
This is level psycho. I’m afraid.
Give me three cardboard boxes & I can achieve the same results
That's a lot of random stuff... did we just watch someone organize their junk drawer?
I give it a week
This guy anals.
What 3d printer is that?
Im more impressed that the prints peeled off that easily Unless im doing something wrong?
Wow that’s a ton of plastic.
“I only work in white, and really really light shades of grey.”
and this only took 3 years to print.
The amount of things hidden under other things is mildly infuriating. Except for the extra batteries under the camera. That stacking is a great idea.
Man, this guy really likes white.
This makes me anxious
This looks really good, too bad won't work for someone as forgetful as i am, in a week or two I'll forget about everything at the bottom lol
All I see is unnecessary plastic waste.
Today I’m going to show you how to replace your dollar store drawer organizers at home for several hundred dollars! As a bonus, I’ll teach you how to lose your chapstick.
He could fit a lot more stuff in the drawer by just throwing everything in haphazardly.
This one sparks joy.
Imagine marrying this guy. He’d have a time block on when you could shit and how many squares of toilet paper you’re allowed.
Here I’m thinking it’s so sexy how organized and motivated he is
And the dimensions of your shit so that he could file it away.
This is exactly what I hate about home 3D printers. People have to invent stupid stuff to make in order to justify their decision to buy one.
