For just a fuel funnel PLA or PETG are fine. They aren't going to melt on contact or severely degrade or anything. As soon as the gasoline evaporates, they'll just be dry again. There are submersion tests showing it hardly affects them after a long period of time. TPU is also very fuel resistant and I have even used it as a gas tank gasket material. I would not make a gas container out of any 3D printed material without extensive testing and vetting obviously, but a funnel is a funnel. Also air is a good insulator so just leaving the walls of the koozie hollow is a good bet. That's why thermoses are double walled.
Oh good to know - thanks, I (obviously) didn't research how gas would react with PLA/PETG and didn't want dissolved plastic in my chainsaw engine.
I need to do a side-by-side test on air gap vs wool vs solid plastic on the coozie. I actually did thermal fluids modeling professionally for a few years and could also just do a decent back of the envelope heat transfer calc. But I figured sheep are pretty good insulators - and I already had wool felt.
Anyways, thanks for watching and commenting! I definitely learned something
@@AsaMakes Also for legal reasons my advice is not legal advice and do anything I say at your own risk. 😂 Yeah I believe wool is such a good insulator partially because it traps tons of small pockets of air. Good stuff! Also get reusable zip ties for your peg board and you'll be able to rearrange it any time. 😁
I used PETG for a gas funnel. Its cheaper to buy one but more fun to make yourself 😊
I subscribed because you include the cad files. Please do more videos about functional prints! I was chatting with Bard (now Gemini) about using Styrofoam pellets for cookie insulation, and it informed me there are some infill patterns with higher insulation R-value than my other insulation ideass.
Dang autocorrect... I meant to say, Koozie insulation.
Thanks for watching and for subscribing and for commenting! I haven't tried Bard/Gemini yet - I've only used ChatGPT 3 and 3.5 to help me write OpenSCAD code. Have you compared Gemini to ChatGPT at all? I would say it's OK at writing OpenSCAD - it usually doesn't work but gives me a good enough starting point to iterate and get what I want.
I'm already working on the next functional prints video, they take a while but I'll get one done in the next month or so!
@@AsaMakes My experience is that Gemini is better than GPT3.5 at many things. But it usually starts its responses with a disclaimer, "unfortunatly..." and then tells you what it cannot do, then it gives a pretty good answer anyway. But it's not even close to ChatGPT (I think it's currently GPT4, at least that's what it tells me when I ask.) But Anthropic's Claude is far better (IMHO) at literary help with writing. Since I pay for ChatGPT, and use the free versions of Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, it's hard to compare, and OpenAI still wins across the board for me. Especially for coding, literally, any language. It once told me it couldn't find information on an obscure microprocessor I needed help programming, but went ahead and inferred what it imagined I might consider trying. And it worked. But since each model will be better next month, or so, it's hard to give lasting score. I often ask each one the same question of each, and then piece together the parts I like from each.
Now I'm thinking I'll try the paid ChatGPT and compare it to the free one, I haven't tried others yet - now I'm gonna have to go watch some comparison videos of each of these.
Thanks again!
Each time I thought some other AI might catch up or surpass ChatGPT, the claims didn't translate functionally in real world tests. I watch Wes Roth, Matt Wolfe, Matt Vidpro, and Matthew Berman,, every day, to keep up with AI news, advancements, and comparisons. I thought Gemini did it, for a brief moment, until I tested it. But, OpenAI keeps making their own advancements, keeping them always severely ahead of those struggling to catch up. Plus, their playground API, if I ever decide to automate anything, leads me to stick with OpenA for my budgeted pay-worthy option. I can hardly wait to see what you decide, and what you do with it!
Love your comment about ‘why buy it for $20 when I can design and make it for $60 ‘!!!
Lol I'm clearly a financial genius
The paper bag was awesome. Subscribed on that alone. "Close enough." I was chuckling at every little joke.
Thank you! Come for the content, stay for the dead pan dad jokes
The nut driver set is genius!
Thanks! I was tired of always missing the nut driver I wanted and I didn't want to spend a fortune to solve a small convenience problem
Thanks for watching!
I too, enjoyed the subtle jokes. And you don't act goofy like a few of them do. Great information and thanks for providing the files. I'm just getting into 3D printing and trying to learn as much as possible before I get my printer, which I've already picked out ... Bambu P1S BTW, I'm a 70 yo woman. Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Thanks for watching! Never too old to tinker, the initial learning curve can be a bit steep but printers like the P1S make things as straight forward as possible
Just subscribed for the mere fact you stapled a paper bag award up.. hilarious..
Haha, thanks!! It's still up - mostly because I haven't needed one of the saws yet
Same, looking forward to more content
In CZcams's infinite wisdom it just now showed me your channel. You seem to check all the boxes: Humor-check, interesting-check, functional designs-check, actual CAD files for you projects-double check, overall fun and entertaining use of my time-check. Like-check. Subscribed-check. Maybe you might want to consider making a short video on making some checkers or something.
Lol, I do actually have a video planned on making literal checks because I'm sick of paying for checkbooks once a decade, but I digress
Thanks for watching! And subscribing! And commenting!
I don't care about the rest of the video (I mean I do, but...) the first 30 seconds just got me to like and Subscribe... THAT's how you intro a video on 3d printing, THANK YOU!
Haha, thanks!
I'll have to up my game for a 10k button when the time comes, maybe upgrade from paper bag to foam board
@@AsaMakes I was actually talking about what you said in the first 30 seconds, about designing and releasing the files, etc. THAT is worth more than you know! The play button was a nice touch though.
Oh! Yeah, one of my biggest pet peeves on Printables and other repository sites is people releasing just an STL file.
For example "my" bit driver is nothing special and does much more good if fully published. Also I'm pretty passionate about OpenSCAD as I really like that I have complete control and ownership. I have the source code, I have the compiled application, and I have the model code. No subscription nor cloud account nonsense that can change in a heartbeat. Granted, the learning curve on OpenSCAD is... steep. I rely on ChatGPT 3.5 a lot to help. I would never describe myself as a software developer - but I've written a lot of computational code like MATLAB which helps immensely with the OpenSCAD.
Thanks again!
Thank you for some great ideas. Going to make a set of Nut driver handles.
Thank you for watching! I recommend printing the first half inch of the nut driver and doing a fit check. These are a tight press fit as-is
I promised a funnel to the mechanic... you just reminded me that I need to print it!
THANK YOU for actually uploading STEP files. I hate trying to muck about STLs to make a change I need. And congrats on 1k subs!
Thanks for watching! I'm sure there's a reason stl was/is the default format for slicers and sharing 3d printer files but hot dang are STEP better
Also they export about 100x faster from fusion360 than stl
Thanks for sharing ASA!
I really print 99% of the time, only pratical prints or replacement parts that I need
And this video has great additions 👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
“It’s a Stanley set, but I haven’t figured out how to drink from these yet.” 😂
The hollow coozy would probably perform better without the wool inside. Hollow double wall is a great insulator, probably better than wool.
The math says yes hollow single, hollow double, or solid walls should actually outperform wool. I tested: solid, single wall, double wall, and wool and the results were essentially the same which surprised me! The margin of error in the cheep thermometers I was using was larger than the difference in actual insulating performance
I filmed with the wrong camera settings so I don't plan to make a video of it but it was an interesting result.
In short: save your time and filament and just print single wall hollow
Infill with pockets of air would probably make a better insulation than felt.
I should test both solid w/ some infill patterns vs wool felt... Thanks for watching!
Instead of hammering the bit holders into the handles, use your vise to squeeze into the handles. It will prevent impact cracks.
I did for the first ~5 and then got impatient, lol
Now I just need to convince Ethel that I need a 3D printer. Great video Asa!!
Stop giving threes of dollars to big funnel year after year
1500 subs?!?
Your videos are way too high of a quality to deserve that little subscribers!
Keep up the good work. You got this!
Thank you!
At this week over week growth rate I'll have 8 billion subs in about 11 months
@@AsaMakes Haha. The hopes are high 😍
The math checks out
ty for uploading, any help is appreciated, i found your video on colour change, you mentioned it would be in description but I didn’t see it, just thought you should know.
Oops I fixed it, thanks!
Petg as gasoline, alcohol, acetone, paint thinner, turpentine safe.
Thanks Asa (my son’s middle name)(told you that before😅). 👍🏽👊🏽💪🏽
Best name!
@@AsaMakes - Agreed. 👊🏽
Amen! Why buy it for 20% of the DIY price!? I’m all-in on that!
If I make something cheaper that's a clear win, but if I make it and it's more expensive well I probably learned something so that's a win. Or if I failed entirely well then I get I probably also learned something
As long as I don't hurt myself too badly
"Do not inspect laser with remaining eye" - okay but seriously be safe folks
@@AsaMakes yes! The creative growth and energy are dang good stuff for ME.
Ooooh didn't even think of doing wire management
There are also a million other great designs on Printables for cable management, other than the set I made
Thanks for watching!
your microphone quality seems like your doing a voiceover but the lips are matching and it just seems weird to me
It's hidden in the ceiling just above my head, it's a decent quality Rode "VideoMic Pro"
Might be a very slight audio video desync, can’t say for sure
Very nice and pleasant channel! What kind of Fan Duct do you have on the MK3S? I'm looking for a good cooling solution for my MK3S+. As well for my MK4.
Thank you! Do you mean hot end fan shroud? I just run the stock config on three of Mk3s and my Mk4. On one of my Mk3s I use the Delta P Fan Duct from Printables
It works great but run stock settings 99.9% of the time so the default is usually good enough
„I got a set of metric and standard nut drivers…“
The whole world shakes themself because for almost everyone is metric THE standard… 😂
USA USA USA
/s
It seems like the audio was out of sync, especially in the beginning.
Good models and ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I've had issues on one other video where the audio had a sync issue shortly after uploading and then it went away - here's to hoping that's the case again!
You sucked me in with the picture of the Swiss Army knife, then didnt have a project for it! Do you have a project you didnt show?
No sorry! That ended up on the thumbnail after searching for royalty free images of tools with a white background
But now that you mention it I want to design a 3d printed multi tool...
@@AsaMakes How about a scale that includes a set of calipers? I've wanted this for a long time! It should look flush and normal when not in use, and preferably SAE and metric, or user chooses. Most makers, of course, use metric, but that doesn't hold true for some groups of knife holders who very SAE.
Clickbait? Haven’t watched the video yet, guess I’m not going to now. Thanks for the heads up.
Good news someone beat me to it and modeled these after the classic Leatherman style multi tool: www.printables.com/model/161738-pliers-multitool/comments
I'll try making one of these
"Turn a spool of filament into a funnel and 6 other household objects with this one simple trick"
I dont think PLA will warp just outside it needs to be in an enclosed hot area like inside a car... however LOOOOOONG outside exposure like in a garden for garden otnament you get breakage and wear only roughly about 2 years later.... I have a moped that I have added a USB hub and a 12V socket and a 12v voltmeter to it and all 3 I have made 3d printed housings out of PLA and they have been on my moped for the last 3 years with no warping and I stay I Cape Town South Africa in AFRICA in summer sunset is close to 8pm and sunrise about 5am and sunny all day
Oh good to know, thanks
I've had my share of PLA prints completely warp in the car so I'm scared of anything outside during our hot summers but obviously a car will get much hotter than ambient outside
Thanks for watching!
@@AsaMakes Thank you for the response. also a couple of years ago Joel telling from 3d printing nerd also did a video as he had 3d printed gear shifters that also warped within a year in his car and he had a video about Annealing PLA prints in the oven before usage and then they last longer.
PETG is safe to use with petrol, it's completely resistant to it.
Now I'm going to have to do a gasoline storage test...
Thanks for watching!
@@AsaMakes sure, you've bought me with this adorable "1k subs creator award"
Metric IS standard in most of the world, except 3 weird countries: Myanmar, Liberia and one more, I forgot it's name...
Just as our forefathers intended!

@@AsaMakes haha, that's a good one!
Nylon is resistant to gasoline. PLA is too.
Design a new bracket or better still fasten the panel to the wall with more than just spit.
Spit and a curt nod which adds approximately 15% rigidity
The peg board is screwed into three vertically mounted 2x3s which are anchored into the concrete behind it - so it's not going anywhere but it sure isn't ideal
I didn't think about adding horizontal braces to keep the pegboard from flexing until after I organized all my tools. A lesson learned for next time... ah well
Thanks for watching!
"Metric and Standard"? Metric *is* standard! ;-)
Could I get that in freedom units please? ;-)
off topic, isn't it playback? you sound too clear for the video hahaha
Lol no, there's a pretty decent microphone mounted to the ceiling right above my head
Nice then 😁@@AsaMakes
I ONLY print functioning parts. Unlike 99.9999% of uploaders.
You are in the smallest of minorities in this regard!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Asa The answer to your question is HDPE it is the only one I know that you can use with fuel but requires a very high temperature, I used it to make and connect fuel lines together, Gas/Fuel cans are made out of it injection moulded HDPE.
I only just started 3d printing this year, found your post on Reddit and subscribed
😊
Thanks for watching, subscribing, and the HDPE suggestion! I will definitely order some and test it if my MK3 or MK4 is capable
@@AsaMakes Polypropylene (PP) is nearly as chemical resistant as PE and is much easier to 3D print as I understand it. HDPE filament is also very hard to source.
