❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing demonstration, thank you
Thank you so much @ournextmake ! ❤️
Awesome project!! So inspiring
Really nice
Love this overview Guys!!! I met Rachel at one or Bata testing at the Mothership a few yes ago… When we found out Her wedding was being done in SOLIDWORKS… I was Blown away! Rachel you are amazing 😻
I love it!!! I'm so happy I got to work on this with you, you guys really saved me by helping manufacture my most critical shoemaking tool! I had so much fun and learned a ton about CNC! ❤
@raenao11 You are truly amazing… I Love this from day one… when we met a few years back.
@@joelance3327Thanks Joe 😊
This is amazing! It was really cool to see you get interviewed by Sal next to a table full of your awesome shoe experiments~ Yay!
Rachael, I was blown away by this. You're so talented. Thanks for bringing us this great video, everyone!
How can we get one. I need this
Honestly really useful tip! I will definitely be using this technique
Which slicer is this?
The slicer is called Bambu Studio
@@ournextmake thank you! Gonna check it out
Great tip, and very cool hidden clues for your puzzle box. Good luck at the event. A technique I use when I need specific strengthening is adding 0.2mm holes through the part, which when sliced the holes effectively go away but walls are added. I've been able to do this creating angled columns as needed. For my latest project where I need to make 60 structural hubs for a hanging art piece, I actually am printing them upside down without any infill and no "top" layers, creating a shell. After printing, I fill them with 2 part long cure epoxy with some fiberglass filler added. Rock solid, strong in all directions.
Adding 0.2mm holes through the part sounds really interesting - We'll have to give that a try some time. ...and the idea of only printing the outer shell of your design and filling it with epoxy and fiberglass is epic. Those parts must have been incredibly strong! Thanks for sharing your techniques!
@@ournextmake Thanks! Perhaps either could be a future video topic for you.
thats cool, just what i needed to avoid unnecessary print walls / infill density
Hidden geometry is great with pause-at-layer to insert dope 😂
can you imagine 3d printed bag handles / buckles with dope inside? The law enforcement is already at my footsteps but nothing will stop the 3d print mafia
dumb clickbait. it is called infill modifiers.
dumb or not, I wasn't aware. Now I want to call it dumb clickbait too
Apropos hidden geometry, if you have hollows inside your STL, so basically another set of walls fully hidden inside the solid, this can help you create internal reinforcing structure.
Great point! Using internal hollowed out shapes is another great way to add strength and reduce filament consumption. Thanks for sharing the tip!
Great video! liked and subscribed.
Thanks so much for your support!
Does this work with orca slicer? modifers seem missing
found it. had click object after
So glad you found the option in Orca. I'd imagine that most slicers these days should support modifier objects. They're really cool.
I see anything related to bamboo - I leave a dislike.
CHIIIIIIINNNNNAAAA! NO THANK YOU.
I still hope you're able to use the tip about modifier objects in your 3D print projects.
😭😢😭😢😭😢 Bambu rules you whiny clown
@@ournextmake that's the spirit
Hi, is there a change to get the plans??? Tank you in advance
We're still figuring out the best way to share this design. We'll update you when we've got it sorted out.
Will be waitting impatiently. Thank you
👍👍
Thanks!
Very nice explanation
Thanks! We're glad you found it useful.
Yes, I always add pocket beams in my larger prints. Set the pocket to like 0.05mm and trick the slicer into printing walls within the print so you do not have to use as much infill plus give better support to the objects.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
SHEEEEEESHHHHHH!
So is there a way to access this stl file to use
We shared the files in SOLIDWORKS and STEP formats in the MadeIn3D community (you can create free account to access them). r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexperience.3ds.com/community/swym:prd:R1132100503382:community:17?content=swym:prd:R1132100503382:communitypost:k9FC-ajRT7yU-_4RhdLLGQ
WHOA!!! This is a whole new way of approaching my modeling strategy. Can't wait to try it out!
Do let us know how the approach works for you! We're excited to see what you make!
Very cool build!
Glad you like it!
Fantastic stuff! The Back to the Future trilogy is ELITE, but the best ever? Are we going to act like the Legally Blonde trilogy doesn't exist??? P.S. I want a Bambu
Wait! There were 3 Legally Blonde movies?!? We'll have to watch 2 and three to see how that trilogy compares ;) ...and yes, make room for a Bambu! You'll love it!
Holy shit this is awesome.
We're so glad you like it!
That is so awesome! I love Back to the Future. this is a great out-of-the-box idea.
Thanks! this is already getting our wheels turning on other shop projects that can be creatively themed :)
@@ournextmake I bet! Same here... Now I just need to figure out the what and the where 😂
I knew it was gonna be a shelf!! Another incredible job; this came out so smooth amd so functional, I love it!
You definitely guess right! Thanks for all the encouragement!
Nice vid
We're glad you like it! Thanks!
Nice brains
😉 Thanks!
I absolutely love your builds. Rugged and built for the outdoors to withstand anything elements and predators can throw at it. I'm learning so much here. Thank you!
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear that you find our content so useful. It surely motivates us to continue building the best projects we can.
cant wait to see it!
Gah I can't wait to see everything all together!
Us TOO!!!!
Dropping the pieces of acrylic into place was soooo satisfying!
oh my gosh hi! its me evelyn i was at your sisters house for the eclipse
Hi! Great to hear from you! It was fun playing telestrations with you :)
Just found out about Hoosier cabinets, now l want one! The coolest thing l think is that they are all just a little different, not the design, but the finish and colors, etc.
We agree! They each have their own personality which makes them even more awesome!
We can make it just like SW Desktop... Amazing!
Absolutely! If you've got muscle memory from using the SOLIDWORKS CommandMananger, it's great that you can set up xDesign and xShape to match!
Great stuff folks! You should post a link to an SLDREG file that has your recommended settings in it and do a quick follow-up video showing folks how to save/load their customized settings.
Great idea, Eric! We'll post that in the Makers | Made in 3D community.
All these years using SOLIDWORKS and there's still more to learn! Had no idea you could alt + drag commands out from the CommandManager!
SAME! 👍👍😀😀👍👍
So glad you picked up another tip! We just love keyboard shortcuts, and there are so many in SOLIDWORKS to help you more quickly navigate the software!
This is the kind of mechanical experimentation that makes my engineering brain happy!
7:25 love it!
We love it too!!! Karen was like a Jedi when opening the hook!
What if you're routing out grooves inside a piece of wood?
Great question! If you're cutting a groove in a board and the bit is in contact with the wood on both sides, you're technically making a conventional and a climb cut at the same time. The forces from the conventional cut will try to pull the bit to the left while the forces from the climb cut will try to pull the bit to the right. I'm not sure if the forces on each side are balanced, though. In this case, I'd prefer to have guides on both sides of the groove to keep the router on track. If you're just using a single edge guide, I think I'd prefer to have it on the left (the conventional side). My gut tells me that if the forces are imbalanced, they'd be stronger on the right (the climb side), so the cut would tend to pull the edge guide tight to the work piece versus trying to push it out of contact. Thanks again for the question. I'm curious if anyone else has knowledge to share about this type of cut.
I wish my school engineering projects were this easy
It may have seemed easy, but it took a ton of trial and error testing. But totally worth every moment of it. Good luck on your engineering projects!
Love it ❤ I love seeing the iterative process of figuring out how the pieces need to go together to get the desired effect. I feel like I get smarter just by watching!
Thanks Rachael! Come to think of it, I got smarter while editing the video too. There were a few things I didn't remember while helping to make the hook :)
Awesome build! Really cool to see the inner section view of how the mechanism works 👍
We're glad you liked it! It was fun making that animation and figuring out how to show the speed bump deflecting as it traveled down the tube.
nice
what if you made the whale articulated so it can have fluidic movements?
Great point. Segmenting the whale body and tail would be a great way to make the movement more fluid.
You should mention this only works for righties. Not lefties.
:) true! This is a right-hand rule, not a left-hand rule. Definitely an important distinction. hehe. So lefties, remember to use your righties :)
@@ournextmake it’s an awesome technique I wasn’t aware of however. So thank you nonetheless.
Great explanation
Thanks! We're glad you liked it.
