This video is so extensive, from the build itself, to the organization before the video, to the filming, and then all of the editing. This seems like a lifetime's worth of work compressed into a single ~20 minute video and you published it within two weeks of your last upload. There is just so much deep, considerate thought, planning, hard work, and extreme attention to detail from functionality to aesthetics at every level. My mind is blown and I am at a loss for words, but I guess all I can say is you have done such a phenomenal job and I hope that others can appreciate all of your hard work. Thanks for sharing your latest project!

Extending on the Y-axis is going to turn shelves into bigger levers. Bin stacking could be an issue too... But that said 20kg is probably enough for most. Probably also depends on your preferences for bondage and orientation? Parts will tend to split through the layer lines so how you position the part for slicing will have an influence. Final point, I assume you used PLA? Or maybe you're more of an ABS / ASA lass? Could be a future video in there just on material and printing setup...

Your organizational philosophy is inline with my experience over the years. It's refreshing to hear people speak about the "meta" of organization. Not enough people do it. Here's some of my thoughts. 1. Gridfinity for interior horizontal drawers. I love it. I'm all in. (I'm actually printing some bins as we speak). The webtool by perplexing labs was the catalyst for dropping the activation energy to actually start printing bins. 2. For wall storage, Multiboard. I'm not "all in", just due to fact that it multiplies the surface area for dust to settle on overtime. I don't have a proper solution for it. Just my initial gut feeling on the matter. I'm personally avoiding this, even though its GREAT for the problem it solves. 3. This is related in your other video for vertical surfaces. You mentioned using French cleats. I think the specification can be much tighter. What about a standard that is DIN rail compatible, but can still be manufactured with woodworking tools. If the loads are low, you can use wood for the aesthetic/cost. If loads are high, switch to OTS metal DIN rail. 4.For VERY high loads, 40lbs+ on a wall. I've a great luck just using UniStrut rail. It's standardized. It's far more industrial, but fits well in industrial spaces. I've 3D printed adapters, that key into the rail to hold my lawn equipment discreetly. It's basically a standardized version of the organization rails sold by Husky,Gladiator,etc. Keep up the great work

Ай бұрын

Wonderful comment! Love your structured thinking. To your points - 2: yes that's a potential - although same applies to pegboard, cleats, and any other surface beyond a flat surface! You could naturally build sliding doors, tambour doors or the like to tackle this, but ultimately this will happen regardless. One big advantage I can see is I can take everything off the wall in minutes and literally hoover the wall if I did have this challenge! My solution actually is just prevention over cure - ie robot vacuums are great for constantly removing any dust and as you'll know, I've got air sensors that trigger them at the slightest hint of dust.... ;) 3. French cleats - yes you're totally right and this is something I'll tackle in my workshop rebuild/tour videos (where cleats will be far more common as so much more heavy items!) - there is a lack of standards in this space and it's all been a bit 'casual' - so definitely looking to test and settle on the best standard. DIN rails is a brilliant thought - what I'll probably do is gather all the common standards that I 'might' use and put them all into a spreadsheet and work out the best possible balance/compromise dimensions between them all - then build 3d printed converters to tackle any outliers....! 3. Unistrut rails - this is awesome, great idea - multiboard actually works to 20kg (indeed with the extreme load approach, works to up to 100kgs in its testing, which is bonkers) - but I am always reassured by a touch of metal. Unistrut is a great solution as the shape allows quite a lot of flexibility as you describe - I could create 3d printed bearing holders to act as almost pseudo linear rails for really easy/smooth movement too.... hmmm... I'll have a muse on this, I can create the 'RachetWerks System' to add to my collection.....! Thanks again for the interesting thoughts! Not sure if you're on my discord, but if interested, email me on my site (handsonkatie.com) and I'll ping you an invite link - keen to gather brains for storming challenges like this!

I do workshop organization for fabrication spaces but I like the analogy of files and folders, I'm going to borrow that. Im my wporld there is less "modularity" because walls need to be smooth for cleaning, I am a fan of Wall Control though, too bad their system is patented and not open source. Also, because Katie's craft room looks like an attic and presumably the rest of her house is down a flight of stairs, I think she overlooks the utility of rolling carts- rolling carts and machine bases allow spaces to be reconfigured or tools and materials to be colocated within task areas. Electrical and air drop reels allow things to be moved about while keeping the floor clear of air lines or electrical cords.

Great points and obviously you're right, there's very little appropriate use cases for rolling carts in this small room up some stairs, but they're pretty much the standard in my workshop as they sound like they are to you.

I guess that either the table the printer is sitting on is too shaky for fine tolerances, the tolerances are too fine for 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, or there's just too much slop or deformation of the layers for it to fit right?

I'll still keep some legacy coloured bins but taking the colour decision out of things might also decrease the required activation energy required to get to printing.

PETG would likely be slightly stronger if you really wanted and remember a lot of the 'strength' can be tweaked by your slicer settings - eg number of outer wall layers, infill density etc)

Katie enjoying your videos. Looking for my first 3D printer. Was looking at the Creality Ender series but you obviously like the ones you mentioned. What would you recommend as a first 3D printer. Probably going to do some organizational stuff and home automation stuff as well. Thanks and keep up the good work.

This is great, you've showed me something else that I didn't realise I needed. Ignoring the cost of a 3D printer for a moment (tough though that is), how much does it cost to produce a typical component as described in your video and how long does a typical component take to print? I suppose that cost and time is a function of the choice of printer but I really have no feeling for this at the moment. Making your designs free is very welcome and much appreciated. Are you unique in doing this or do most people publish their designs freely too?

Hey Ian, 😄. Funny you say that, I almost included a quick section on the cost of each component to give examples, short answer is they're very cheap.

Then I got the Bambu P1S and was blown away by how much faster it was.... It was only about £450, so I bought another two. They really do pay for themselves incredibly quickly - just have a look at all the little things you buy from B&Q, Screwfix, and so on.

@@peterclahsen1179 Of course - in short, filament actually has relatively little to do with it - basically the quality of the printer and the layer height you use. With a nozzle that's, say, 0.4mm wide, I can print in different heights - eg 0.28 is much faster, but more visible lines, 0.2 is pretty normal, 0.08 is pretty invisible lines. This is the part you control, then the other part is just how good the printer is - ie can it print with a smooth and consistent line to avoid any visible marks. Most modern printers are pretty good at this. Hope this helps!

Hi Katie, this concept is very interesting and modular. What you did is fantastic and your shelves look very nice ...

Hey! Yes, great point - this room is by it's nature better suited to small things (which is where plastic excels). This is all printed in PLA (which as you know is made using corn, sugarcane etc) and is therefore one of the easier plastics to recycle/compost. But if you look at my workshop, it's 95% wood as it requires that strength. If I'd made the shelves with wood, there would have been lots of limitations introduced due to the material differences - but I agree with your sentiment, indeed I'd like to do a video at some point about wood - not sure anyone would watch, but nonetheless!! You'll see the custom PC case I'm making out of walnut in the coming months - so there's some places I think where metal and plastic dominate where wood is actually better suited! As for the laser cutter...... already got two....! 🤣 🤣 🤣
