I agree. A lot of prints are just random stuff, but I appreciate both this videos usefulness and appropriateness(tools that would actually work if printed instead of being to weak for their purpose)
I've been 3d printing for ages but never saw a lot of these designs. Very cool. You can never have too many clamps.
Good timing. I am visiting a handyman friend the end of this month and I plan to print and bring a few of these things as host gifts for him.
Thank you Michael! I just assembled my printer today. Watching this several months ago, I couldn't get over the ease with which such useful tools could be printed for use in my shop! I couldn't get your video out of my head, so I pulled the trigger and bought my first printer. Thank you! (I think!)
For internal fillets, grab a deck of cards to slide into the curve. Then measure the outside curve of the deck.

I'm just getting into printing. I'm waiting for my first printer to arrive in a few days. I'm blown away with just how much useful things can be printed. Saves so much money over the long haul being able to make these little tools at home that at the box stores can cost a fair amount of money over time.

Thank you Michael for an informative video. You would think I would look for tools that I can print instead of buying. Sometimes we need someone like you to point us in the right direction.
Michael, GREAT job as always! Your content continues to be some of the best out there. You clearly put a ton of time in preparation, filming, editing, etc. Keep up the great work!!!
I'm 42 with many years experience with tools & that very first center finder was badass, and something I've never seen before. I REALLY REALLY want one!

I've seen so many of these "3d printed tools you need!" videos that were garbage that I very nearly didn't watch this. But this was actually a good one. There are a few on here that I'm seriously considering printing. Thanks!
My husband has a 3-D printer and is always looking for something to help me in my wood shop. This is great. Now he has 4-5 things to make for me. Thanks.
Pretty much anything from Marius is worth getting. Dude is a genius.
Many thanks Michael for the featuring. Since your video, the paint cones are downloaded by numbers! I wish people are enjoying them. I'm an early follower (with my home account) of your channel which is pretty interesting everytime. Thanks again and greetings from France ;)
I will be printing most of these I think, I keep meaning to print a few of these but this is a great motivation to get them done. Thank you for the great video, especially showing the devices in use!
My boss got me into this and is selling me my first printer tom. I do gotta say from the countless sites I’ve visited these last couple weeks the printing community really is extremely helpful and giving. I look forward to getting in this hobby
as a welder/ fabricator i want to say that these are great. i legit want that centerline tool.
I doubted them seeing plastic tools in the thumbnail but the video surprised me. Now I'm looking forward to printing these. Thanks for sharing!
I've been using the fillet gauge for years. It's a must have tool if you model things.
That last clamp would make an amazing microphone, camera, Smart phone mount for filming !
Great stuff to print off of a 3D printer. Oh, more stuff to misplace in the workshop, when looking for them. Can't wait to build these when I get a 3D printer. And a BIG THANKS! To all for their great idea to help hobbyists have a better workshop!
Thanks for the video Michael! I think I'll be printing that fillet gauge straight away.
The Thwack plastic hammer can also be used for jewellerymaking and stuff like that. But at that point you absolutely need to print it on its side as that is quite a bit of force

Yes I agree! Soft hammers/mallets come in very handy when it comes to jewelry making, as well as many other automotive repairs as well! When you're knocking a gear into place, you dont want to smash teeth. Rubber mallets are used often, but they're typically pretty large, and this plastic design gives ability to make a mallet to fit perfect size necessary!

Man, I absolutely LOVE your channel. All your videos have helped me so much with my journey into 3D printing. Thank you. Please keep up the amazing vids mate
thanks for taking the time to make this video, was skeptical at first but now i just have a huge list of things i want to print, looking forward to watching your other videos
I never knew I needed all of these neat tools until this vid - thanks!
Wow amazing what some people can come up with. Thank you to all the people that put these models up!!!
Kudos for giving visual examples for all of these, even the ones where you didn't have a great use case at the time. That's still a bunch of extra work that you didn't have to do. Thank you, and excellent quality video with lots of good information!
Impressive. Never thought 3d printed plastic gizmos could be so handy. Thanks for sharing.
These videos are making me want to buy a 3d printer even more. The more I watch, the more things I see I can print and use one for. I have a few ideas for projects that I have yet to see on here, but I seriously want to design and make for myself. Stuff I know I can use and others as well.
I printed a dremel adapter that converted the dremel into a small router with a guide for cutting the binding channel on a guitar body and headstock. I have quite a few hold down clamps made on the printer along with enclosures, t-slot nuts, zip tie mounts.... etc (to infinity)
I spied the Lowrider2 belt stops, and was hyped to see you have a Jimny!
Very good presentation - you did your homework and showed us some practical toolage that can be custom made for our purposes. I will be printing some of these soon. Thanks!!
this is the first 3d printing video where I can't find a single print I don't want to print. This is an incredible video. Thank you for making it!
That Kant-Twist style clamp mimics the famous metal versions. That tubing cutter is ideal for square cuts on heat shrink tubing. Tube and pipe notching templates for marking saddle cuts would be exceptionally useful.
Nice! A lot of great items here. The center finder is excellent, and I need that fillet gauge, badly. Time to preheat!
I must say I think Michael, has the best presentation technique of anyone on youtube.
This seems like perfect timing. I was just wondering what I wanted to print while I'm between projects. I can always go for another hammer!
Great Job. I'm a beginner in case of 3D printing. So this examples are great. I look forward to see more of this stuff.
Those are some great examples! There are a couple of us at work with printers and we have made a few custom tools that we cant buy but would be crazy expensive it we sent out to have it done, very handy!
The 3D printing Terminator strikes again. The clamps are a work of art, really.
thwack is 100% going in my list of first things to print, that looks just super useful
Handy stuff! I've spent a year making vacuum fittings so all of my tools can be attached to the same Festool vac hose. Proprietary bags and fittings no more!
Wow! I will absolutely be printing a good deal of these! Thanks for sharing mate!
I love these kind of videos. I think I'll print that tubing cutter tonight. Thanks for the video
Thanks for putting together this collection. A LOT OF USEFUL TOOLS!
I just saw this, and I thought it was a very thoughtful and useful video. Thank you so much for going through the effort of trying to help people :)
Thanks for sharing, these are all useful tools. The drill press center finder in particular will be very useful. Also, I probably hate sanding just as much as you do.
Great designs!! Great video as always Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us👍😀
The last clamp would be great for book binding!
What great video, it's great to see all these collaborators sharing their designs, I 'don't have a 3D printer, but I feel maybe I should look into it, but one might be enough, I don;t want to become a hoarder.
Wow, thanks so much, my printer just paid for itself, the pipe centering tool just made my life so much easier, and wow...
My only regret about this video is that you can only click the thumbs up once. You got me printing again after a month long hiatus. Thanks a bunch.
There are a few things that I like and will print off, but one stands out to me. I use cantilever clamps quite often for professional use. Kant-Twist being a brand name and the ones I have always used. So I'm curious to see how well the non metal counterparts work.
Great video, nice to see someone using one of my designs. Thanks for featuring!
Came here on 10/22/2021 after seeing a shout out from Naomi 'SexyCyborg' Wu and seeing you wearing a Mighty Car Mods chopped tee shirt. I am very impressed with your style knowledge and personality. Your students are truly blessed.
the dremel table saw and cordless drill press are really interesting
great functional designs 👌

Oh hi there
Cant wait to print these all out and put them to use.
Thanks for all of your hard work! You have guided and inspired me many times. Thanks for the links!
This video goes directly in my favorite list...!!!
I printed a smaller and a scaled up Twack. I freaking love them lol. Much bonking to be had.
Thank you for the ideas. Now realy excited to print few on them on my recently Ender extender’d E3 Pro.
Lovely watch. Very tempted to side tracked from my current projects to print a few of these off. Very handy. :)
That roundstock center finder is going to come in so handy for ECM barrels..
That tube cutter is the best of the bunch, especially since I could have really used it to cut the Capricorn tube for my Ender 3 Pro!
Thank you so much for reviewing my tool in the video. :-)
Alot of these are interesting, like the center marker/finder, cutting tool, sanding block... but I think things like contour gauge, angle finder and hammer, are much better bought
These are bloody genius! I can’t wait to add them to my set up. It is so wonderful that these makers donated them for public use. ❤
Nice video! I prefer to print functional rather than decorative items. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Michael! I'm definitely going to print quite a few of the tools on this list. Thank you for putting the time and effort into your videos.
that tube cuter looks amazingly
Wonderful choices -- I'm just starting and wil be printing a number of these.
Thanx for this informative and useful tools video. Definitely going to print a few of these.
7:25 - That reminds me of the ruler set I bought for measuring tubing when I was building my hard-line water cooling loop. Wish I had my printer then!! lol
That screw measurement gauge is actually super nice
I've been subscribed a while, but first time I really paid attention. Time is short, in my life, but this has been time, well spent. I am heading out to view some of your other vids, hopefully they are of the same caliber. Thank you !!
I really like the clamps, all of them.
A trick you can use when printing objects that have insets to take nuts- if the nuts are shearing the plastic insert, powder some baking soda into the hole. if you want, you can put some paper at the bottom to plug the hole and contain the powder. dust up the nut a bit as well. re-insert the nut. Then take a thin-consistency superglue and apply it around the edge of the nut, making sure it absorbs into the crevices. The powder will act like a sponge and soak up the glue. Once it dries it is rock solid. I used this trick when I made a small Dremel press. Used it for inset on the gear that raises and lowers the dremel. In testing I tried to see how hard I could force it down before it broke. It didn't lol. The rods that the dremel head was riding on popped out of the base first.
Might try that center finder. Sick of breaking 0.254mm bits when I've been trying to drill into 8mm tube.
I love it that he doesn't just steal other people's design like another 3d printing channel I know (ejem..starts with an m and ends with an o and has a weird SZ in the middle) or just, like, say "I found this on thingiverse!!". He actually gives people credit!

I printed the contour tool and enabled ironing on the tines to get a nice smooth finish, I am thinking of reducing the width of the tines to increase the resolution as it gives thick castle edges at the moment.
Great list. My printer hotend is broken and a new DD is on order so I am just dreaming of getting it back up and running while I watch videos of cool items to print... Thanks for the chat...
This is an amazingly useful video. I don't think there is one of these items that I haven't needed before.
The contour tool would have been great when I was doing paver patios! Those corners or facny cuts can be hard to get
Timeless and brilliant!
Never heard of a Radius being called a ' fillet ' before, but radius guages are a neat thing. Worked aerospace for 2 & 1/2 years, got good enough to grind a non critical radius within 5000ths ( just slightly bigger than a human hair) by eye. Even had to prove it to a supervisor to shut him up. He was always saying ' put a guage on it ' , I showed him my skill and he had to admit it was super in front of everyone.😁
I've not watched your very interesting channel before. It was a KZread recommendation. The Thrid Item, I thought that was a very important tool to have. Please thank the inventor.
Good selection of tools. Well presented! Thank you.
All of those 3d printed tools can be very useful . I have save & shared this video . Big Thanks
Printing the tube cutter. Very nice design.
Love the chuck key for the drill press being on a chain. That thing ain't going anywhere.
my favorite 3d printed tool would be a mini lathe... really need to do that thing!
Very good information in this video and awesome tools, thanks to all the designers! Any tips on some kind of tool (jig) to cut stair steps and risers? The commercial ones are so darn expensive for a one-off job.
That first centrefinder is handy and quick but the traditional way to find the center is not measuring with a ruler😉 You simply use a marking gauge, calipers or even place your fingers against the piece as reference to mark an aproximation of the middle of the piece and then transfer that measurement to the other side and mark the point in the middle of your two marks. Thats the centre, just set wathever you used as a marking gauge to that and scribe along the piece. Even using your fingers as a gauge produces a suprisingly accurate center line.
