I invented the first commercially available motorized router lift in 2007. I made the prototype by hand from aluminum. Seeing 3D technology put to work for making stuff like this really makes me wish I had it to use back then. It would be so nice to print a part needed and not have to spend a ton of time making it by hand, especially when it might need to change. Excellent engineering and application skills shown here. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

Conversely, I often make things by hand to avoid 3D printing them, because it's often easier to quickly make and test minor alterations by hand than to make the changes in CAD and have to wait 7+ hours for a whole new part to print. I'm not sure my approach is actually logical, but it feels right to me.

@@-AT-WALKER Thank you. I should add that there's some overlap between the two approaches. That is, I also have a "3D printing" pen and a hotknife that allow me to add and subtract from already-printed parts, allowing me to test minor to moderate alterations without having to print a new part every single time. Maybe someday 3D printers will be able to scan and modify existing parts by incorporating 5-axis printing and CNC carving.

@@hollt693 No problem, thanks for the polite response. Using a 3D pen is a great idea, no idea on brands - could you recommend one?

@@-AT-WALKER Sure! The 3D pen I ended up going with was a MYNT3D Pro I bought on Amazon. While I haven't used it a ton, it's been quite reliable thus far. I even use it for welding multiple parts together to make bigger things than my printer can handle. That said, it was kinda steep at $60US. They have models that cost half as much, but the one I got has a nice LCD screen with precise 1°C temperature adjustment, which can be helpful when using different plastics and flow rates. (Having used it, though, I wouldn't say it's essential for my purposes.) To your last point about using a laser to smooth layer lines, I haven't seen exactly that, but the technology might be closer than we think. Solidscape jewelry wax printers apparently use some sort of mill to plane each layer perfectly flat before starting the next. What material(s) have you been sanding? ABS sands fairly nicely, but it can be a nightmare to print with, and you can vapor smooth it with acetone, making its sandability kinda moot. PLA prints really nicely, but I can't seem to sand it to save my life. I get *nowhere* trying to sand it by hand, and if I try to power sand it, it just melts and gets ruined. The best method I've found so far is to coat it with something and sand that instead. Epoxy can be nice, but it takes too long to cure, during which time it tends to run. The best thing I've found so far to coat with is (perhaps ironically) UV resin meant for other 3D printers. You have to apply it in thin coats, but it cures almost instantly with exposure to the right UV wavelength, after which you can simply sand and re-coat until you get the desired surface quality. Because it cures so fast, it gives off a *lot* of heat as it cures, (to the point I've gotten blisters from not noticing a drip of resin on my skin and accidentally exposing it to UV light) but that very property is extremely useful in this application, as it slightly melts the surface of the PLA, significantly increasing adhesion. Sorry for writing you a book. I just get too excited about this stuff.

I don't think you know what a drill press is.

Could you tell us about the parameters of the thread that you use for the models? For example, fine thread (time 5:20) and coarse (6:05). What tolerances do you use on the mating thread? Layer 0.2mm or 0.1 for thread?

Great job. It's all about the creativity - to see the possibilities.

Amazing and useful tips! Thank you.

Great work!! Designs are amazing. Where do you source the filaments, especially the grey one. Could you share the link? Color combo is so cool.

Nice ideas. I suggest upgrading your designs to knobs or at least wing nuts wherever bolts are required to be removed for use of the jig. Like #3.

Wondering if you have considered or thought about a drill press jigg that could be used with a power drill. that would be amazing for many as the ones on the market aren't great.

The vise and router are impressive

Still trying to figure out how to drill with the drill press but it makes a great vise and walnut cracker.

Perfect gift ideas for my dad. Time to get to Printing

#1 could be done more effectively with an adjustable slot, or a holder for the pencil you can rotate.

Got to print them all!!!

Great use of technology. Very cool.

I love how that vise was so incredibly overengineered and still looked like it was about to snap when crushing walnuts.

Router tools are so smart.

@@mattmurphy7030 You're right of course. My point (which I didn't convey well) is that there's a temptation for some to focus on 3d printers/printing as an end in itself. Nothing wrong with that, but my greatest feeling of accomplishment with same is when I make parts that serve a purpose, and the printer is merely a vessel through which it travels. My 2c

where can i find the hardware? Like the tiny screw hole inserts and such. I tried ALL my local hardware stores but none of them have everything.

Nice job. some of these parts are better than many other tool videos i have seen. Just a shame they will all need to be reprinted sooner than you think, but that is the beauty of 3d Printing. Replication. I especially liked the corner tool for the router

How sensitive is PLA to sunlight and temp?

I liked some of the stuff, but the vise was already bending severely with the nut; it won't last. The edge router jig needs to be mounted on a metal plate,;as seen in the video, pulling the screw too tight, will pull the jig off the edge leading to imprecision.

The router lift is nice but I'm guessing it's to flimsy for accurate cuts. Plastic doesn't work very well when parts are subject to modest loads.

Good video. FYI to anyone watching, split washers do not work in any scenario where the 2 opposing surfaces are steel. They don't have enough force and are not hard enough to actually bite in to the metal. But especially they don't work when you put a regular washer under them, the washer would just spin. So save yourself some time and money and throw them in the garbage.
