Much better minimalist design than previous one
still not perfect
While I am not interested in mass production, I love following your channel for just the insight you have into designing for 3D printing. I love your suggestions for how to build something with this medium in mind. I am only just starting to learn how to use CAD software (why is it so expensive?) so most of my prints are downloaded and I find myself often observing how many prints are fail to take into consideration the whole 3D plastic printing process. Thank you for your work!
Thanks for watching.
I use FreeCAD - not very beginner friendly, but it is free. There are also some others available.
I have Fusion 360 open currently and have never paid a cent for it; not sure what isn't available compared to the paid version, but I've never felt inhibited with what's available in it 🤷🏿♀️
I’ve been using and relatively happy with OnShape
@@TS_Mind_Swept It depends if you plan to use it for anything beyond "personal use" and care whether you're violating those terms. I would like the option to commercialize my designs which is why I am learning FreeCAD after using OnShape, which has similar terms for the free tier.
As far as I know, FreeCAD and Blender are the best options for fully free modeling tools where the use of your designs isn't limited by the licensing terms of the software.
If OnShape offered a tier without commercial restriction (or with some upper limit on revenue...) closer to $10-20/mo, I'd be all over that. $125/mo doesn't make sense for plenty of us who want to stay on the legal side of the licensing terms but don't use it full-time.
I like the music but I feel it was mixed a bit too loud this episode. It was a bit distracting.
I agree, I think the beat really pops through
Now that is a good product design. Waaaayy better than the last one.
I liked the old one, have a 5 cup pot under it, and a silicone funnel in it. I really like this series of design tips, it really gets me thinking on how to make improvements
Regarding those noise surface features, wouldn't it be tremendously hard to clean those surfaces?
Especially when it is stained by coffee.
A noisy surface might be slightly more difficult to clean, but liquid stains tend to seep between porous layers of the part, so it's likely going to be irreversibly stained regardless of whether the surface is smooth or noisy. But it's worth noting a post processing clearcoat might seal effectively in less coats on a smooth surface
@spencerkirkhope7397 Yup clearcoats can do miracles, especially for UV protection. Regarding waterproofing probably epoxy dip followed by clearcoat might be the answer.
Very nice, simple but elegant.
Glad to see you took the feedback on the previous deisgn well. Consider making a video about surface finishes. The coffeemaker becomes ugly very soon from spillovers - hard to clean on fuzzy skin. 2K clearcoat would probably solve that issue in conjuction with vapor surface treatment.
Since two weeks ago I have started mass producing parts myself. Thank you for the no bullshit pure engineering content.
Bingo, why isn’t anyone else pointing this, I feel like a lot of people buy into the hype but don’t really think the practical usage of a product
@@michaelscarn4133 this would immediately come to mind whenever you actually use the product. No coffee was poured here.
Definitely better than the chunky design 👍
Maybe making the hole for the filter diamond shaped(or maybe a drop shape) you could get rid of the supports and get the same grip without support
Aesthetics will be a bit tricky but I can think of a few ways to handle that and make it fit
BTW, how are you adding the texture?
"wonky", a word to be used every day. better design than the last design, btw
How did you manage the overhang at the top of the hole tho? I know you said you made little support contacts for the funnel, but I'm not sure how those apply to the top of the hole..
Looks good but can PLA withstand the heat?
I suspect it will. There is very small surface area in contact with the filter, the liquid will be not (but not boiling) so it will soften, not melt the material, and the softened portion is likely to be able to continue supporting the filter that is only momentarily hot.
It would be interesting to see how this performs over, say, 1000 pours.
Heat resistant tabs would be trivial to incorporate if it ever were a problem, though would require more sophisticated mass-production stages if assembled in-factory. It would probably be quicker to print tabs in a higher-temp material and include in the shipping package to be attached by the owner (60 seconds worth of effort).
Yes
I was thinking to use PET or PET-CF for this, for its heat resistance and chemical resistance
The parts that are load bearing and under load won't ever get hot enough. Also, infill pattern here makes 3d printed parts natural insulators because of all the air pockets.
Any water touching the filter is going to be under 100ºC (212ºF). PLA will not begin to melt until over 150ºC (300ºF). Weight forces of the filter on each of the hidden support triangles is minimal, so even if PLA would be hot enough to become pliable there is really not much of destroying force being applied.
Somebody needs to Hames Joffman these coffee maker videos.
What about redesigning cam lock and dowels from Ikea ? I just got a new dresser from Ikea and it was missing a few of these ? I don't want to drive the hour to the Ikea store or even think about contacting their customer support. I am making my own dowel designs (I think a heptagon will do the trick). There are ikea cam lock STLs online, HOWEVER, they just copy the Ikea design and I bet they will not hold the weight of my underwears.
Get a piece of round sticks from Lowe’s or HD and you can make your own dowels, I would recommend printing any kind of load bearing components in SLA than FDM
still, assuming you print all your things with PLA, the bottom part is eventually going to go out of shape from the hot cup placed on it
It would be cool if the next iteration had an insulated saucer that fit in the bottom chamfer for just this purpose.
0:22 thats 4 molded parts and a bunch of screws, not 16 molded parts... xD rest of the vid is fine tho
That is his usual exaggeration in favor of 3D printing.
I don't even need to hear what you have to say. Here is my like for the design alone 👍
Thanks
This a great looking product, both cosmetically and the design architecture.
I guessed wrong on "What orientation to print?" this design. Assumed alignment would have been ∩ (front down). Thanks for the many great design insights.
It’s unfortunate that this video doesn’t mention the topic of food safety of such product.
3D printed parts are usually food safe. At least from a study posted way back on hackaday.
look back a few videos. A recent Sunday video addressed this very topic.
FDM prints are unsafe, he compared wooden cutting boards to FDM prints, tbh you shouldn’t cut meat on wooden boards, they should be well cleaned and well maintained but a lot of us don’t do it, in reality our cutting boards do harbor quite a bit of bacteria on them depending on how you maintain them. The thing with FDM prints is that they have micro-pockets and they can harbor bacteria and grow mold inside without our knowledge. FDA will reject FDM based products for commercial usage, plus the amount of micro plastic that will leech into the food. What he mentioned is very biased, I don’t agree with his POV on food safety at all.
Little bit of spillage, little bit of sugar and little bit of bacteria, come back few days later you will have a brand new, organic , mold filled coffee maker.
Like every coffee make on the planet
@@slant3d not true, injection molded parts does not have infill or layer lines. Agreed any food equipment need to be washed/cleaned frequently, FDM prints will trap food between layers, combination of liquid with sugar and bacteria will cause little petri dishes inside the cracks and lead to mold growth
If you really want to make it food safe:
1. either chemical treat and add a layer of food safe resin to fill the layers on FDM prints (need to go through extensive testing for FDA approval)
2. Choose a different process like SLS / SLS
3D printing is a great tech, not the only tech for product development. You need to discuss the merits and demerits of the tech.
You should read CFR 21 to understand the FDA level requirements: www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?CFRPart=177
How does sugar make its way in there while brewing lol
@@seanrobertson7122 imagine a sugar particle dropping on the printed surface and a bunch of liquid spilling over the particle, given the fact he didn’t add any resin to this print, it’ll slowly seep into the cracks.
Ok let’s take another situation, imagine I added some sugar into my coffee and after mixing I had a spill on the print surface, again it’ll seep into the cracks.
As engineers we should consider these situations before we design a product for “MASS MANUFACTURING”, otherwise you are just a shitty engineer, FDA will throw your product into garbage pile.
Following this logic, any 3D printed object could catch some sugar particles....
Coffee touching the 3d printed part, with fuzzy skin to make it worse, even with the assurances that you made in a previous video, without citing any studies or doing any experiments yourself that basically boils down to: "Meh, it's fine.". I'll pass, thank you.
A drip coffee maker can't be a "better coffee maker"
Still such a waste of material
Too much material I'd say lots of unnecessary plastic. I didn't really watch the video though. Could be you just like the way it looks 🤷 just seems the back could lose a lot of volume, maybe honeycomb it or something
Would be worth your time watching from about @0:56 - chunky-looking 3D prints can be very low in use of plastic like this one is; that's one of the benefits of filament deposition printing over injection molding. Honeycombing the rear could even *increase* the amount of plastic used.
"I didn't really watch the video though." - maybe you should. The part he made was hollow, with only 3% to 5% infill.
@@logicalfundy maybe 🤔
