proof that 3d printing really does enhance every other hobby :)

Absolutely. I have several other hobbies; woodworking, PC building and modding, video games, anime, etc. 3D printing has had a hand in enhancing my enjoyment of every one of them. be it a simple figurine, a jig for a specific task or any of a bunch of functional prints for things like controller holders, a box for my DIY volume mixer, a divided tool holder, small socket insert trays for a small storage box, etc. 3D printing is amazing, and accessible to everyone.

Overdesigned? No: great design. For the next iteration: google 'wet pallete'.

Still going back through your catalog but would be helpful to see the actual (SketchUp) design process. I compose in OnShape but seeing how you actually design and refine would be incredibly useful. Thanks for the great content!

Great video. Would love to see your Sketchup design process. Thank you for sharing.

The way you were talking about the magnets, I thought, if you're that worried about getting it off, why not just use two magnets instead of four? Seems like that actually worked out perfectly though. It doesn't matter if it's over engineered. You are teaching concepts that could always be new to some people! Also, I have pretty much retired from coding, but can we PLEASE do something to modernize that web site a bit? It wouldn't take much, and it desperately needs a dark mode.

I've been an artist 35 years, I'm super lazy as well .. I just use cling film in the provided pallet, once finished chuck it away

Always enjoy watching your design process and whatever you come up with. I was especially interested in your inlay design/print process for the lid. Do you have a video that goes in depth of how you do that? I was a little confused by just the description of it.

I am also interested in learning about the process you used for creating the inlay of Mrs. FPF's initials.

Awesome!❤❤❤

Just FYI, the tray in the lid of the portable clamshell palette comes out. At least on mine.

great paint tray

Would the lid not snap on to the bottom for storage? (Whilst in use) Not sure if the magnet polarity orientation would be correct.

I really enjoy watching your videos. They are very informative and well done. I am wondering what CAD program that you use. I apologize If you have mentioned it before. Thanks for all you do!

It's not something I would ever want or need but watching the design process for the pallete thingy was fascinating. I'm sure your wife was very happy with it and as they say "Happy wife, happy life"

Just a thought (and I’m totally new at the 3D printing thing so bear with me) instead of thickening your top layers to obscure the infill pattern underneath, could you use a similar idea of the initials inlay but lay a “3D image” on top of the bottom layers allowing it become the infill and then print on top? The light would reveal the image captured underneath turning function into art ; just a simple repeat pattern of her initials would be sufficient (think Louis Vuitton pattern) as infill would suffice for structure and would reveal itself in the light. Is that possible?

That's a very neat design. It could easily become a product. What finish pattern did you use for the top layer on the tray?

My only thought as I begin the video is, was it advertised to use the inside of the clamshell as a palette, or just the removable pieces? I’m just so lazy I wouldn’t even bother to print it if there was enough palette space without using the inner clamshell lol

Thanks for the great concept, I offered to print one for my friend. But how do I change the initials?

Great question! I went ahead and removed them from the file. Just download it again and you should be good to go.

@@FunctionalPrintFriday I was able to generate the text, but two short questions. How deep should the inset be on the cover and what supports do you suggest?
