We need more information about said relationship.... Are you wanting something more rigid like PLA, or is perhaps flexibility (TPU) a priority? ABS is a good candidate to weather the "storms". Nozzle size, layer heights, and slicer settings could also impact how well separate entities fit together.

First of all, thank you for your channel. I am new to 3D printing and you channel helps me a lot. Secondly it is nice to see how you do all the things such as slicing, midelling and printing. Thank you

Props to you for helping the community. What goes around comes around.

This was really high yield. Solid "added value". Thank you.

Yesterday I finished a wood counter with table-top resin. I used a piece of that packing material as a spreader. It worked great.

Thanks for the great video. I am fairly new to 3D printing and also looking into 3D scanning. Your video is very helpful to see the uses and limitations of a 3D scanner. Also, I prefer the look of the white wheel covers. Thanks again.

Make the wheel covers orange, so it matches with you logo (white car, black wheels and orange wheel covers). Prusa orange would look really nice.

Hey Jonathan. Loved the video. I havent tried using scanners yet but I really want to for a few projects. So, naturally this caught my eye. I did want to pop in and mention that adding any weight to the wheel could make that wheel unbalanced at higher speeds. Actually, I think that design of it one piece is probably the best shot at keeping balance on the wheel when driving above parking lot speeds. Since a little bit of weight at the rim can make it “shake” at higher speeds. Not trying to discount the project, just throwing out a word of caution. :) Great work on all these projects.

I would go the black for the tyres. Great video, very informative.

Also I really like your style and advices

This is right up my alley. As the family Mr. Fixit I have already used my printer to print out parts to help repair a few items. I would love to learn to use a 3d scanner and CAD. It would be a real game changer to add toy tool kit.

Amazing content! 3d printing is not only for cosplay or figurines, and it becomes a passion after all.

You had a really great idea for volunteering in a public community, I will look to do the same here.

Jonathan, I understand the concept behind parametric models and the flexibility they provide for customizing models. What I struggle with is how to change the parameters to get what i need. Any chance I could convince you to do a video on how you adjusted the parameters in the box model you used to make the case for the scanner?

Getting to prototypes is useful to sort out different issues, mostly due to insecurities or variabilities. Getting to a prototype quickly is especially useful for fitting issues early on, but not always needed. But, if you’re designing in a vacuum and you know what you’re doing you can get quite far before prototyping. On a current highly complex project I sorted out most issues simply by slicing my model (a lot!!!) to sort out any remaining issues printing a micro delta wing in vase mode. PETG proto is coming out pretty good, few minor fixes needed, next up LW-PLA. Just one prototype 😊

Cool Video! I sometimes like to combine Fusion and Blender. Also makeing the fitting parts compliant (aka selectively flexible) you will have and easier time with fittings and tolerances 👍

I am a fan of magnets and think they could be printed embedded into removable things, maybe even such as potentially for wheel rim covers and other custom vehicle exterior and interior mods that can be changed up or easily worked with, such as will be the goal with changing tires? Another option would be maybe to print the plastic with press tabs that clip around some of the spoke segments of the wheel rims, maybe even add some cut up pieces of old bicycle innertubes glued as a surface protector to avoid scuffs of solid surfaces and dirt ingress from mileage. Velcro strips from the dollar store though, if not the lego, deserves a honorary mention for adaptative hotswappable solutions too. A Lego dashboard cover would be cool..

Thanks for making this video and recommending these rules. SUUUUPER helpful. And i appreciate the recommendation of the 3D scanner. But I was curious if you tried using the latest iPhone to scan 3D objects. Would that get you close to a usable reference?

Hi, can I download the Tesla Wheel Rims stl Files somewhere ? Are you selling them ? Tks for your reply 🙂

to be fair you can build parametricly with blender too. you just hit moments where it's easier to edit the mesh directly and then you can't go back from that point on. but you could make every single one of your designs with splines extrudes and bools and never do things in the "sculpting" mode. I haven't watched any tutorials so I don't know if people teach this kind of stuff, because it's not very useful to people making scenes and digital art. It is much more annoying to define the splines on the planes compared to standard CAD because you can't automatically enter distances from the reference you clic or automatically do radiuses and arcs and all that stuff. but after that one step it's just as easy. and you could just do the path/splines in another software, export them as adobe illustrator format and use them. it all depends on what part of the workflow causes a significant block for each person.

I would love to see a video on a more in depth way of using the miraco and onshape for designing/printing things. I'm with a Police Dept Bomb Squad and we are purchasing the Miraco to do more in depth designs and fixes for our robots, drones, etc. Thanks in advance and appreciate the help.

I will openly admit tha I hoard foam/bubble-wrap and boxes... Very rarely do they come into play but its always good to have them when needed

I would go with black. You are printing covers that will get scratched. The scratches will be visible more on the white than on the black. So you wouldn't have to replace them as often.

For the Tesla wheels, now that you have the model, you could really lean into the customisation benefits of 3D printing - add an image / pattern / texture / kids names / whatever :) It doesn't matter what colour filament you use, just install them and wait a couple of months until the dirt on the wheels matches the dirt on the covers :)

So close to 100k!

Haha, I remember saying in the kickstarter livestream suggesting someone upload a STL file of the MIRACO, and there it is like it was meant to be. Useful for people to create adaptations with such as portable cases that will protect it, though I did get what they call the small solid casing and what they refer to as a transit bag with a shoulder strap, but if you want, it seems to fit well in alot of cases you might have around from old fossil electronics, such as those old various camcorder bags for 50 cents at yard sales or the 2nd hand stores even is something to consider. I left the screen protector on the MIRACO without peeling it away, just cut away the pull tab carefully and its still holding up ok but its not as durable as the proper cellphone screen protectors being not as thin as the thing they shipped it with meant to be removed. Can probably edit or find a tablet screen protector it, good idea for a MIRACO video to make showing a few that will fit it best for affordability and durability. Mine shipped with a bonus grey rubberized gripcasing that fits the MIRACO exactly, and that is also something I mentioned they do during the kickstarter, and there it is like it was meant to be. It might only have been for backers of the kickstarter as a bonus thankyou though, I am not sure about the gripcases availability, but its perfect for when moving around with a mobile device of its nature, I mentioned about how people would be bumping into things in the real world use scenarios, it might even save it from a fall. I added a magnetic haptic quick release cable connector meant for cellphones or laptops to it and you wont have to put any mileage onto the USB C device socket and it makes it really easy to one handed attach or remove to go rogue nomad mode without tripping over wires. Wireless, you gotta like it! I have it parked on a larger camera tripod inherited from my dad who was really into photography to the point of having a darkroom setup with enlargers for poster size photowork as a hobby. Maybe I bought the MIRACO for him, in his honor as a type of family tradition in the field of optics? When I pressed BUY NOW, I did think of him and he would've bought it for it's 45megapixel 3d potentials we work with today. Keep yourself and the rock alive as you roll out those block rockn' beats and innovations, dude, man, brotherrr!! Subscribed.

Black covers makes most sense. Firstly these are fdm prints so unless you've gone to the effort of sanding them all they're are dirt magnets; they'll never stay white. Secondly, you are literally printing these to get scuffed, black will show the marks less. Two other observations though, if your parking garage is like the ones we have in the UK, the kerbs will be painted yellow so you might want to match the yellow paint you'll no doubt be collecting 😂. Also, these are sacrificial parts, print them in a different colour next time. Finally, what about one of those funky carbon fibre filaments, get your own back on those kerbs. Keep up the good work, great to see you putting your skills to great use in the community

From an engineer, your doing great. If i ever feel defeated i just hit print. real world feedback is everything.

I think the main thing with prototyping is trying to reduce the size of the model to be as small as possible while still giving the context for whatever you're trying to fit together (as well as getting past the fact that it's inevitable to have some waste filament, and prototyping is actually a great way to mitigate that)

Thank you for your lessons and for understandable English in it. I think it would be much easier to cover your ugly holes by simple round plates with just cylinders going from the back side of the plates. You should put pieces of rubber hose on the nuts inside the holes. And you should make the cylinder's internal diameter equal to the external diameter of the rubbered nuts. I think this thing is gonna hold on quite tight. And I think you won't spend more then half an hour to measure all the stuff.

That'd be a rather interesting project to conquer. An Escher-esque mirror system for scanning the body of a 3D scanner using itself. 😁

I didn't buy a 3d printer to make rabbits, boats, or chotchkis. I bought it to learn how to do EXACTLY THIS, so thank you, this is 'da shiznit,' as the hip kids say.

go with polymaker natural colored ASA. it would look actually really good with those wheels

For the wheel covers, I would use hard TPU (relatively common 98A, 72D, ...) with a high infill... it is stiff enough an basically indestructible for this purpose... And these hard TPUs are as easy to print as PLA.

If you're worried about finishing the parts to match the wheels, then I'd definitely go with black because you'd absolutely have to do some good finishing if it's white. Such a stark contrast will draw attention and everyone will be looking at it. Black would probably just go unnoticed.

Definitely go with orange. Orange and black is a great combo like your wall. But, my second vote would be white to give the contrast

Blender Pro tip: if you set the undo steps to 256 you CAN go back 256 steps in your workflow and start anew. Find it in preferences/system/memory & limits/undo steps (as a side note, you don’t have to press command+Z 256 times, there’s a undo selector menu so you can skip right to the point in your workflow you wanted)

One thing I have done when designing to a deadline, and I needed to save time (rather than filament), was to cut out the portion of the model that needed to be refined, and printing just the small piece rather than the whole model. Once I had that right, then I would print the whole thing.

Do your wheels black. It's not as visible if scratch (you'll be breaking and replacing a lot of them in that parking garage anyways) just make sure you have a lot of the same filaments.

🔥🔥🔥

On your wheels do one side black and the other side white and drive it for a while to get comments and to see which you like the best. Maybe even red? PETG does have more flexibility and will return back to the original shape better when flexed. Which should allow them to form better to the wheel when snapped on, just my opinion. Another great video, thanks.

I'd prefer the color white, adds more character. Tho you have plastic tire covers, cars are 75% plastic anyways. However choose whatever color you want. Thankfully snap on plastic isn't permanent and reprinting isn't impossible if you change your mind.

If you are happy to pay a bit for Blender addons, you can model pretty much anything non destructively nowadays. Can even display all your dimensions in the viewports realtime.

Considering your skillset and todays world. I think it would be well worth your time thoroughly researching and even practicing the most suitable and rapid 3d model production pipeline for prototyping your designs. The great thing about designing models for 3d printing is not having to worry as much about your models topology. A designer that has mastered modelling in Blender or similar 3d modelling software instead of cad based software, will have greater control over the shape and appearance of their 3d prints etc.

Awesome video Jonathan. Really enjoyed this one! Not super impressed by the Miraco tbh. Revopoint just isn’t there yet on the software front. Once you use an Einscan scanner you’ll realize how much better they are and how important it is to have good software in addition to good hardware. You should have been able to capture most of the geometry of that wheelchair part with the scan and just need to boolean out the inner geometry. The fact that you had to manually model it is disappointing but unsurprising based on my experience with Revopoint scanners.

I would rather steer into being unique than the trials of matching paint. It doesn't matter if someone will notice any defects. I would rather not add any more damage to my vehicle while having the pride of knowing you made something for yourself. Plus if anyone asks about it than you can promote yourself, channel, and business. That's just my two cents.

I am the same with making parts that I could generally just buy. But in your case, and definitely in mine, I feel like it's far more time consuming and often times a much worse product than is commercially available.

Truth be told, I already replaced from scratch a number of broken hard to find clips in our vehicle and stuff around the house.

I'd vote for black and white alternating pieces, or maybe a gradient with each spoke a slightly different shade of white to black.
