- In this video, I'll share 15 USEFUL 3D prints that will test your skills (and your printer), and help you go from a beginner to an advanced 3D Printer. Brought to you by PCBWay, your one-stop-shop for PCB prototypes and assemblies. Check them out at jle.vi/pcbway
In this video, I’m going to share 25 functional, practical, and USEFUL 3D prints that will not only put your 3D printer to the test, but will each challenge you to learn a new and important skill that every 3D printing enthusiast has to learn.
Instead of wasting kilos of filament on useless junk, I’ve chosen a series of prints that test you and your printer on each of the different skills involved in 3D printing, from bed adhesion and retraction to advanced slicer settings and flexible materials… all while leaving you with a practical part you can actually use when you’re done.
It’s a veritable TRIATHLON of 3D printing. Can you print them all? Will you?

THANK YOU for watching, sharing, liking, and subscribing. PLEASE let me know if you liked this video and would like to see more like it!
Thanks so much for all your effort and ideas. If I may critisize a single minor thing: Your intonation going up at the end of a sentence is a bit irritating to the ear, e.g. 7:50 onwards. If you work on this, it will make watching the videos even more enjoayble.
The video production is very nice, but content is not my preferred one to be honest.
Theses are useful prints, I agree, but... They are not torture test. The objective of torture test is to find as fast as possible what is the problem with your printer.
Torture test use less plastic, so you can fix your printer before you risk wasting a larger print.
I suggest showing credits to the creators of the models when showing the makes
They are linked in the description, but yes, showing the credits to creator in the video would most likely be the better option
I never would have heard of the creators without this video. Free marketing for the creators plus direct linked credit? Can’t ask for more.
100% agree. I have a bunch of models out that I see video creators using, I do wish my name was featured in the video since a majority of people don't read the full description, especially if they are watching on their phone
Absolutely agreed. People don't always appreciate how much work goes into creating a model. When someone shares their model for free, the least people can do is give them proper credit.
@@eliazararevalo6924Not at all comparable to the direct viewership and benefit reaped by the video itself.
I would also like to see a video about calibration. As a relatively new user to the 3d printing world it gets a little overwhelming to understand everything. Maybe a series going from basic techniques to advanced
that's a good one. until i get to it though, check out the Ellis Print Tuning Guide
@@thenextlayer thanks! I will check it out. I look forward to seeing your guide too!
There are better places for this, look at the print quality in the video. Non of the showed prints came from a proper dialed in printer.
Great list of functional prints to learn from. Just want to throw in a couple of my favorite types, bookmarks for testing first layers and bag clips for print in place.
What a really great set of prints and wonderfully clear explanations of why!
The video is great for guiding you to problems without helping with any of said new found problems. equivalent of a teacher throwing the textbook at you and telling you to read the chapter.
Even worse. Its trading small, low cost test parts for larger higher cost test parts. So not only do you still not know why the stringing happens, you get to waste 200g of filament instead of 10g
This was an awesome video. Definitely a bunch of things I’m going to have to print now.
Would love to see a video demonstrating how to dial some of these settings in. Maybe a troubleshooting advice video.
Use the tips of the calipers for a thinner surface you’ll get a better reading on the thickness of a curve
Great video! Loved the graphics and and text. Really gives good info on what each print is showcasing! Keep it up!
THANK YOU! These comments keep us going :)
You had me at item number 1 😂. I am sold 😊. Thank you.
I tried printing the cable winder - the lid. It sticks well to the print bed, but about 60% through, when it's printing the middle bits, it does not stick to the print anymore and then just starts printing in mid air. Any ideas why this may be happening? Thanks!
Nice video & print ideas. New to 3DP and am struggling a bit with settings. Been using Cura 5.2 but also trying Prussia 2.0 (I think). I'm getting a bit frustrated with the settings on mini's but still learning. I made some 50 cent piece sized mini's that have words on it. Letters run together 😊. So I appreciate the ideas for checking the tolerances. 👍🏻
Try out PrusaSlicer 2.5, it's quite good.
@@thenextlayer I just looked at it and it is 2.5 so it is the latest, thx. 👍🏻
Hallo, witch Software is ist, you talked about at 3:48 in Thais Video? Thank you
I have had a printer a few months and I had never imagined printing shoe laces. Will have to give it a try
Would definitely like to see a detailed calibration video, a lot of popular ones are quite a few years old. Since you have an X1 I am sure you have seen the issues people have even with a "plug and print" printer, especially with pressure advance.
Great video !!!! I am trying to 'teach' my printer to make some bridges without support and then print the Tup lid organizer!!
how did you get your bottom so smooth and shiny on the tupperware thing?
With Prusa 2.6 Alpha 2.. you can just add text on to 3d models now.. so wondering if the 2nd print idea with "open scad" is really needed anymore?
Excellent content 😊
Thanks for the great Tipps and Ideas... really useful channel!
Wow, thank you so much! Really appreciate it :)
Great Video, But say what is the grid on your wall called and where can i get the files?
I wish you the best in making youtube content and to help you there are some things i think worth mentioning:
- If you really want to make the viewer to learn how to print better then, teach them! Pick only 3 models, which you think the most challenging and tell what to expect, and how to prevent from failure. You are just mentioning what to expect, but THE beginner, who watches this video will just scrach his head where to start. (BTW, You did great at 14:35 and 16:50!)
- I wouldn't recommend such a big and high print FOR setting in the retraction. It's too much wasted material on the bottom before it starts showing the affection of the retract. Time and material could be spend more efficently.
- Try to show the latest, and mostly the easiest ways to edit/make models. The Prusa slicer 2.6 came out 2 weeks ago with the alpha version, that makes you able to create text on your model. I think TPU could be later in the video coz it's more advanced, then a "second model for learn to print".
- After a finished build you need to calibrate your printer first, and then you can print stuff with it... Don't be sketchy, when you made yourself to build a Voron! The whole point is to be professional, with fast and accurate printing. Calibration is foundation!
- 11:00. Instead of explaining that why this model wasn't correctly made for 3D printing, you could explain how to repair the modell to make it fit. For example I would cut down the bottom 1-2 millimeters in the slicer and if it's needed, then I would bring in a box and shape it so it makes the bottom on the same thickness as it was before.
- 12:00 If you already know the screws are gonna separate the layers, don't use woodscrews. They chamfered on the bottom so they will separate the layers, anygood the adhesion is... Use allen screws and washers instead. It's not just about the printing itself, but how you handle the print after the fact too..
- Don't hit your previous sentense. Vase mode has no infill as the hyperlapse shows, so you don't need, actually you can't change the infill by any means.
Great feedback thank you so much!
As someone who also does a lot of drilling around the house, I’ll let you in on a cheaper, more effective & more accessible trick for catching the dust: try a post-it instead. You stick it to the wall just below where you’re drilling & fold the bottom half up so it’s like a paper shelf to catch the dust. It catches all of the dust (because it’s stuck completely against the wall), & if you don’t have a post-it, you can use tape & paper to achieve the same effect. It was a game changer for me :)
I have always just held a damp paper towel underneath while drilling and wiped up anything that stuck to the wall. May have to try the sticky note to see which is better.
You can also do this with an envelope and a piece of tape.
Or use the bottom half of an empty milk carton -cheap, light and readily available.
In regards to your plants and gardening, has anyone suggested you get a soil test kit? It’ll give you insight into what nutrients your soil might be lacking and help your plants thrive.
I liked that laces idea, time to discover TPU printing!
Have fun!
I would love to see an in depth "how to calibrate your printer" video. Just moved to klipper and have had my previous settings become obsolete
Yeah. That's a HUGE topic, that would take HOURS. For now, check out the Ellis tuning guide
I think im gonna try the tablet tray. I do have a question as to what slicer you are using for your Voron? I have a switchwire and having a hell of a time finding a profile for it.
I use PrusaSlicer, but I might move to Bambu... it's crashing when I slice for Voron though.
I love how we have just about the same printing setup. Both using 1X Carbon, same filament dryer and I can see that mirror finish on the Tupperware top holder meaning you using a Wham Bam plate.
Yeah!! You got me on all 3! Now, time for you to build a voron 2.4 350mm…? I have some spare printed parts in orange and black if you wanna be twinsies
Great video. Looking forward to the video on OpenSCAD. In particular or as a separate video can you show how to customize a print by putting text on the print such as someone's name. Thanks.
It's out now! I decided to do it as a Short, b/c it wouldn't take much time to explain, not worht a 15 min video czcams.com/video/WFRZS9evI_c/video.html
@@thenextlayer thanks. Watched and liked your short video. 😀 I will give it a shot.
Great Video ❤
BTW Are you having a bad hair day, LOL Luv the Beanie 😂
I want see a video about settings
I'd love to see a video on the wall storage system you are using.
what tpu shore are you using?
Pretty Nice~😍
What‘s the brand of the orange filament?
On my wall it’s peusament
4:00 I just use a software to type text then use shapr 3d to wrap the text onto a model^^
Hi there, what about the honeycomb wall with all the holders
I did a full video about it check it out!
more like this please
I really appreciate how you explain how any challenges that you experience on a print is an opportunity to learn how to make your printer/slicer settings better.
Thanks! Appreciate the comment
Was gonna subscribe initially but by the 3rd or 4th time he asked I was like okay man, clearly this is for plugging you and not the 3d printers
I’ve gotten much better at that in more recent videos
Hah. Came to find this comment. It put this channel on my shit list.
Just ordered my first 3d printer and now i got cold feet. So many things talked about in this video that can go wrong while printing, a bit overwhelming. But i guess i should just get the printer, start printing and deal with issues as i go
What a great idea for a video.
Glad you think so! It hasn’t performed that well surprisingly but hopefully more people will discover it
i must be a novice since all these prints is somewhat easy to throw at my printer it is pretty much dialed great in
thanks for the vid anyways it's a great video for newcomers and people that hasen't tuned in their printer fully yet
What is the hex grid pattern holding your tools? Is it 3d printed?
It is, look up HoneyComb wall on Printables
Of course :) It's the Honeycomb Storage Wall by RostaP, I did a short about it.
14:28 these (with pla plus and my settings) will support 100lbs, yes really, i hung one up and started to pull on it with a old fish scale, most i could pull was like 60 lbs, so i started to hang from it, had it at 100 before i shifted my weight again go put more on it and it went. In other news getting whacked by a 6lb fish scale at high speed in the hands and head hurts really bad. Cant wait to repeat the test with cf nylon in the future!
What is the name of this art program? ım am cura
to use
Pushing me out of my comfort zone in a couple different ways, good. I’ll try the screw top container first.
Nice. Glad! The response to the video wasn’t wow so I’m happy you enjoyed it
I have an issue where i get holes in my outer surface (walls). They are not completely random, they appear als in the same
Spot and they are not z-sean. My Z seam is already aligned.
I tried drying my filament in a filamend dryer from sunlu but its not helping. At first the filament printed well but now… i even tried standard settings from cura.
Upload some pics on our discord we will help you out. It’s probably pressure advance not being well calibrated. Https://jle.vi/tnldiscord
14:02 what does "dial in" mean in this context?
I enjoyed this video and appreciated the assessment of what aspects it would test. I think this could move into specific videos covering each of these items. I am news and noticed in the comments, we don’t know how to adjust our cooling or retraction. I haven’t found a guide or video set to really help me both understand what and why, but put me on a path to really dial it in.
I understand there are far too many items to do in a single video, but maybe follow up ones which take one of these models and then explaining retraction and how to adjust it, then do another on cooling. Etc…
Thanks again for the videos. I have been enjoying them.
Great idea I’ll think on how i could do it. And thank you for the kind words they are really appreciated
@@thenextlayer I agree with Chris, I stopped watching about 2 models in as there is little point in me trying to print these if I have no clue how to fix the problems that show up
@@advisorgee Great feedback. I wonder if I should do a video that's like "common problems that make your prints suck" and try to condense years of my learnings into 1 video?
@@thenextlayer That is a great title, and if you can make it into one it would be great.
I want that peg board thing you got there. Did you print it?
Yes check my recent video on organization systems. I also have a full video about this coming in two weeks
I have printed the cable winder many times before - I should print more, that is :)
But that Tupperware organizer looks like a challenge to my ender 3 clone
Dooo it!
@@thenextlayer I finally got some TPU. Where can I find those glass labels?
Mais uma vez um vídeo interessante, mas gostaria de um tutorial de como se fazem esses objetos interessantes.😢
Great video
Thanks for the visit
Don't know about sorting, but a part tray or two would probably be beneficial to have 🤔
What is with the weird blurred box in the lower center of the screen in part of your video? It is very distracting.
I noticed the same thing. Curious why it is there
I was an idiot and I left on the "recording controls" on my screenrecording software, so we blurred it out. Maybe it would've been better to not blur it.
@@thenextlayer thanks for the honest answer!
didnt see it until you pointed it put haha
Nice models..... but what I want is what is in the background! Can't keep my eyes out of it. This wall mount system!! Where can I get the models?? Anyone know?
I did a whole video about it. It’s called honeycomb storage wall! Check my past videos
Can you please share the link for the pegboard behind you TIA!
I did a whole video about it check it out
@@thenextlayer Hey sorry I am not able to find it in the list… can you plz mention the name of vdo… thanks!
Great video. Only thing that wouldve made it better are the resources to learn the skills needed for each one.
Good call!
@@thenextlayer- Could always be added in the video info?
not work
Multi-USe Carabiner by Parker Boyd on Printables:
I'm actually going to print that tablet stand, and probably a few of those parametric cable locks.
Epic, enjoy! Watch some more videos, I have a LOT of recommended prints for you to check out
Bro i put my printer to the test and i failed
That was an interesting "how to punish your printer" video
You showed the 3d printed dog, where did you find that, please!
Thanks 👍✌🖖🥃, good job, peace out, live long and prosper having a drink...
Cable Mount Organizer link doesnt work.
Great video topic. Love noob topics
OpenSCAD is actually my main 3D modelling software, but I am planning to move to Fusion 360.
3d printed a mouse shell for my logitech g305. Turned out perfect but Tolerances need to be spot on. if not the pcb, scrollwhelle and other hardware will not fit!
Cool video
THX!
Plus I’ve gotta at least get a 3-1. Three function/useful. To one random fun one
I know you divorced Prusa, but Prusaslicer 2.6a3 has a text tool in it now, you don't need open scad.
I still use and love PrusaSlicer (lol on the divorce though), but I don't get along with the text tool that well, plus, some openscad models will let you actually like, modify the model itself, not just emboss or deboss text on it. Get what I mean?
Hey my brother. Glad I found your channel. Not to mention you from the motherland baby! ❤️❤️ Toda ach sheli.
Big up!
I have a couple questions 1st is what printer would you recommend for a beginner and 2nd the honey comb wall do they go together like a puzzle so you can make it bigger
If budget allows, Bambu, otherwise sv06 jle.vi/Sovol
And yep puzzle
Love the videos! I am getting into 3D printing with my 11 year old son but need guidance. Would you be interested in online teaching? I am about to buy the Bambu Lab X1 carbon printer because of your great other videos I have seen. Please help me!!!
Join our discord, we'll be happy to help you :) Also, if you wish to support the channel, please use our link to order your printer!
jle.vi/bambulab
Well that’s put every one off printing any of those lol 😂
Amen
Thank you! I've been searching for and thinking about something like the Cable Winders to solve the mess of dozens of extra-cables I have.
Happy to help, enjoy, and make sure you're subbed :) More coming.
Ugh. Now I'm gonna have to make more 😏
Thanks for thee videos. It will be good to be more precise and concise … les small talk
Thanks for the feedback!
if i ever print a benchie, it will just be a trophy, but i think why not just print differentials, that would be the ultimate tourcher test.
Like I normally don't comment on anything, but the soldering of the guy at around 7:40 are just not from this world. That he is soldering a rather modern Motherboard is already a stunning task to behold, but he is also so quick and precise with soldering, that I'm just not able to see him put any solder anywhere. I also wish to become a magician with that extraordinary level of skill.
He was tinning his tip while listening and singing along to music.
Almost as if its just shitty stock footage.
I watch the first part and think... well that's a lot of material for a test that most likely will fail
This is epic considering I just got my first 3D printer 2 days ago. It's already down I clogged it somehow 🤣
Congrats, you'll enjoy the hobby, and there's so much to learn. You'll get better. Don't give up.
instead of openscad, show how you can modify and add text in prusaslicer :)
Not the same though because in openscad you can do like, lettering. Changing the actual model for example a sign. Not just emboss or Denise
I get your overall point, but you are asking us to use a lot of filament to dial in a printer. Way to many people have crap ender printers .
I think that you forgot to talk about the hexagon wall in the background..;)
True!
Don't print thing under stress or pressure with PLA. It will yield or bend over time. There is lots of other plastic than PLA that can be used
I applied glue stick to the subscribe button and now my phone is all sticky 😩
But preheating the like button went well 👍
Yessss someone acknowledged my joke! Thank you!
0:19
Nozzle change is not necessary
That is stuff for advanced 3d users not for beginners like me…
Give it a try, challenge yourself, that's how you learn :)
i am greek so it seems pretty english to me
I see you, Claratin user.
I don’t use Claritin that much lol those are a different drug I’d rather not say ;)
Fine, keep your secrets.
Yeah no. If I have stringing problems, I dont want to discover that on a large print
Seems like these views were botted due to the low comment rate.....
You dont need a 3D printed part to collect drill dust, just roll a peice of masking tape so the sticky sides touch each other and place it on the wall below your drill hole, there will be a small gap between the tape and the wall where the dust will collect and stick to the tape
I have a printer, but I’ve decided I don’t want to devote my entire life to figuring out all the crazy Greek you're talking about. I didn’t sign up for freaking brain surgery.
I liked the “queue food safe army” bit. Ppl say that fdm prints aren’t food safe but it really depends on how you wash them. Most washing machines will get in the gaps just fine and if you still have a problem with that, a UV steriliser will take care of all your issues. Ppl gon say “that’s too much effort just to use a printed part” and I fully agree, but my point is that you are wrong and printed utensils *can be* perfectly food safe.
Its all greek to me cause in greek so its easy I'd say 😅
