Thank you so much for including the Fusion files! I'm in the process of completely redoing the storage for me machinist tools. Such a well thought out system you have created. Fusion files are super easy to customize too!
Man I really enjoyed this video. The way you went through Fusion 360 was amazing. As a new beginner in Fusion I often find myself frustrated at the lack of how to get done what I need to get done. The few things you showed here can be carried over into so many other areas. Thank you for taking the time to do this and to share for others to benefit from!
Thank you for explaining the process very well. As a new cad user I struggle with what approach to use to make parts like you just demonstrated. Now I actually think I can tackle a bit on my own.
Just bought an Ender 3 Pro V2 and was looking for some useful prints and your video made me excited to make all the desperately needed tool organizers for my shop. Much appreciated idea, and walk through from concept to product!
Thanks a lot for this video. It was extremely helpful. I have the same TTS aftermarket system but mine are ER25 collets so larger. I used all of your techniques to remake for the larger sizes. I printed the first ones and they are fantastic. I watch all of your videos. I really like your style and also they way you convey everything. It all just makes sense.
I really like the fact that you show the Fusion 360 parts in your videos. There's not a great deal of good tutorials on youtube and seeing how you approach modeling some of these parts is very informative. Thanks for sharing that.
This is only the second video I have seen of yours, but I would say that my understanding of Fusion 360 has improved by a couple of hundred percent. Thanks for your work!
Wow. Incredible organization and functional use of 3D prints - nice work! I have no idea what the tools are, but I appreciated the tutorial in Fusion ;)
extent idea to keep things organized, every thing ready to use and have a place to go back, I'm one of those people which spend time trying to figure out where lived the tool that i need rigth now haha. You really give an elegant a convenient solution to that problem, Tanks for the inspiration man! Reward form Argentina
Forget cutting foam for tool box trays this is the way to go hands down, if for nothing else THIS is the reason I need a 3D printer. Genius AND gorgeous!!!
I have a 3d printer on order, and being able to print my own shop organization pieces is what pushed me over the edge to finally get one. This is the perfect video for me! Super helpful to see how you approach modeling in Fusion 360 and get me more excited about doing this for my own tools. Well produced and edited too…this was just the good stuff without half an hour of fluff as you sometimes see. Thanks for sharing!
Printing is easy, modelling is very time consuming, measuring etc.. Im complete beginner in Fusion or any 3D modelling software, for me it takes hours to make basic stuff. Im still learning..
Wow! I came to see how you made the organizers, but learned about joint/combine/cut in the process! Last couple of days I was trying to figure it out in Fusion. Ended up doing a work around in another software. Thanks!!
What an awesome video. I was searching for another guy’s video I watched in the past that made his own holders, but I came across yours in the process. You go way into more detail than he did, and I learned some new tricks on Fusion from yours. Thank you so much! I just subscribed!
This is insane man, like I mean INSANE amount of information you have just shared with us. For free. Never mind those idiots who actually hit the thumbs-down. Incredible how you explained exactly how to use each tool in Fusion. Wish I could buy ya a beer! Huge thanks for the tutorial! Stay up!
This is the video that convinced me to give F360 another shot and make it my go-to for modeling for 3D printing. I tried working through it with some tutorials before, but quickly got frustrated that they were more of a feature showcase and didn't really show a practical application. Sketchup is great for woodworking, but 360 seems so much more powerful and precise for making detailed prints. Thanks for this, now it's time I organized my drawers.
I learned on SolidWorks. It took me a little while to learn F360, and I still miss some of the advanced features of SolidWorks, like configurations, but Fusion 360 is a very capable piece of software.
Great video, genetically you have a good teaching skill I would say. It is the first time I am happy with the quality of 3D print. Will watch your other videos.
Excellent video as always James. Your Fusion 360 work is amazing. And I have always admired your drawer organizers. Thanks for solving that mystery! Now I can stop looking for them on Amazon!
Thanks James, very informative. I'm currently awaiting delivery of some custom tool holders for my lathe tools that a gentleman in New Jersey has printed up for me. He didn't have a pattern for the particular holders I use (they're an off shore variety) so I ordered one sent to him and from that he has generated the tool holders. He has also designed and printed a couple of holders for a standard 2" round indicator that will fit onto the OXO sized tool post I use. He's made them in a left (side) hand version and a right (face) version. I intend to equip both with indicators so they'll be ready for use at any time. I'm looking forward to being able to generate a better storage facility than I currently have once they arrive.
Exactly what I need without realizing I needed it! I like your er20 collet tray especially. I'll need to design some vertical holders to put on my enclosure for individual jobs as well. Cool, another g0704/3dprinting enthusiast. Subbed.
Oh, that's a good idea. I still haven't gotten to milling out a rack on the enclosure for my vise handle, dead blow hammer and air gun. I should be ashamed.
I enjoy it. Though it seems no matter what tools I have, I can always come up with projects that are just slightly out of reach. It's a sickness, I guess.
First one of your videos I have seen, really enjoyed it, had not even thought about using 3D printing to organize tools, I don't know why I used to to Aviation Maintenance Tool control in the Navy. Been considering buying a 3D printer, now I think it is a must have!
Just watched your video. It was the first one i watched. Been thinking about getting a printer just for myself for some tools orginizer and a couple third generation Camaro parts. Thanks for all that useful information. Have a good day
@@Clough42 check out Jeremy Schmidt here on youtube, he has a workbench with drawers that have a locking system on the trays at a set distance mounted to the underside, holds everything in place and easy to move on a grid.
@@Clough42 you could also make some recesses for magnets on by each corner, and glue in magnets with opposing polarities and allow them to snap together in a grid.
Funny I just came across this since I recently started 3D printing a bunch of toolbox organizing thing like schaller bins and socket holders. I printed my socket holders with two spaces for 10mm sockets since they get used (lost) all the time.
Great video. I’m looking to develop something similar for my drawers tools but I may add some lock tab system on each side so I can attach them for stability and have the flexibility to add one if required instead of a full rack.
Hi James. I printed a couple of your organizers off of Thingiverse. Very nice. You used a different method to create the models in this video than you did on your earlier models. Your use of parameters on those models was very interesting but this method seems much simpler. I'm thinking of building the tool using parameters so I can create a different tool holder simply by modifying the parameters of the tool. Love your videos. Very informative and great presentation.
I heard one of my students watching this video in class today during our project provoke time and was all set to question why they were watching a video about taking a closer look at someone's drawers in school. I did not expect to be redesigning our CNC tool cabinet at the end of our conversation. (:
Really enjoyed seeing your workflow for tool organizer creation. I have no doubt my approach would of been a lot more unpleasant, lol. Thanks for sharing.
There's a learning curve, for sure, and there are lots of ways to accomplish the same thing. The first few I designed were a lot harder until I figured out this workflow.
Nice! I never use primitives in Fusion but for this it's perfect. Since cracking open my 3d printer I too have found many uses for making useful shop stuff, dust collection adapters, organizers, not to mention little figures the wife loves :) Checked out and commented on your lathe VFD conversion last year - wow, you look great! Hope it wasn't anything serious other than a strong desire to get fit. Thank for posting.
cool organizers. Stumbled across this video while looking to buy a 3D printer for tooling organizers. here's an idea for how to keep the single tool organizers locked into the larger trays (and maybe you won't mess with building larger trays anymore) - use your cnc mill to drill small holes on the side of each and then join them together using pins. If you drill the hole sizes just undersized, your pins will more or less fuse the holders together. Just a thought. :)
Interesting to see you using the cylinder primitives. I'd probably have sketched some rectangles and rotated them. I'm sure your way is faster. Thanks.
The other advantage of printing with radius is they use a less material to make the part. Not a significant amount per part but over time it really adds up. Kind of like pennies in a jar.
seeing a project done in a cad program like this always inspires me to get back into the learning phase of these 3d design programs. I had no idea there was a chamfer tool in Fusion360!!
when extruding the cut away portions through the whole base you should extrude to the end face, when doing that if you make adjustments the extrusion is stuck to the face no matter what, the way that you are doing it, if you make changes that are outside the constraints of the extrude cut then you will also have to adjust the extrude again.
True. I just didn't, because I was lazy and I don't think I'll ever be making these parts longer. If I do, and if it bites me, I'll remember this comment. :)
I haven't used Fusion for years but I would imagine that you could do something similar to Solidworks Configurations for the toolholder model? Then if you need a holder for different size tool holder, you just adjust the tool model dimensions for a new configuration and rebuild the holder model with new geometry.
I think you can change setting for initial layer height and line width to counter the "burr" part. Adding chamfer is a great solution. I might adjust chamfer size based on layer height though. If you are printing 0.2mm height, I may just do 0.4mm chamfer. For some slicer, you can set initial layer height. Maybe set it to 0.4mm, and do 0.4mm chamfer.
I am using Simplify3D and setting the initial layer height to optimize bed adhesion. I could modify the layer height to optimize the shape of the edge, but it wouldn't do much good if the part peels off the bed while printing. Everything is a trade-off. The small chamfer is one easy solution.
Great video nice to see some order. You could always add some sort of dove tail or dog bone shape to join them together. Both parts have a female side and you join them with a male bit. The end will just have a female and not a clip on show
@@Clough42 yes I agree but I would use a part that connects both parts together low down that way your not removing anything and if you change your mind at a later date they can still be connected as the females hole will still be there. Also could put the same female on the front and back side if you want to connect a lot together to form the whole draw that way there isn't rows as they have all become one with the dog bones or what ever type of connection you use. Just an idea
New to your channel - Thanks. I also am interested in learning about the 3d printing world. Any direction you can advise? What about 3d machine advice also?
Placing a Small drop of super glue, or hot glue, between them will also help hold them down. I kept expecting to see you perform a Shell on the backside to reduce your amount of plastic. Perhaps not a good idea considering your use case. Nice video.
The part is printed with 25% infill, so it's 3/4 air. With injection molding, shelling is really the only way to avoid making it solid. With 3D printing, there are other options.
Thought about doing this. Decided it was a waste of time (mostly), energy and plastic. Instead I got cheap ass 4mm poplar plywood (they sell it here at €2,20 for 5 sheets of 21x30cm) and some express glue. You can even cut that stuff with a sharp cutter, though a power saw is recommended.
I plan to do a full set of 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 socket holders, do you recomend leaving a tolerance of the tool, say .1 or .2 mm or just make the hole exact eg 10 mm hole for a 10 mm socket? Cheers
I'm guessing that you may have figured this out by now, but if not (and it may help someone else) first, a 10mm socket will have an OD somewhere around 14 or 15mm, and second, since you're laying down material by oozing it out hot and letting it cool, there is almost always some dimensional change in the final product, and it will be different for different parts, printers, filament... typically I find that when I get outside dimensions spot on, inside dimensions tend to end up a hair undersize (on my last print it worked out to be .15-.2mm, so about a total of .35mm tight for a round hole) or vice versa. He specifically swelled his cutout .025" (so .050" counting both sides, that's a largish gap, about 1.3mm), but he also wanted a loose fit. Knowing how my printer prints PLA and how I'd want a socket holder to fit, I'd likely start at something like .5mm/.020".
I usually monitor with pair of Event TR-6 near-field monitors. When I'm recording, I wear a pair of Bose QC-15 noise-cancelling headphones. They make it a lot easier to differentiate noise in the recording from noise in the environment around me.
Nice video. Thank you. Do you think is a good idea if you also write the name of tool or the diameter of the tool on the 3D printed model so you don’t have to put the blue tape?
This is a very silly question I’m sure, but could the same cad be used to cut it from solid? Could this be used for subtractive as well as additive machining? Or is the cad process very different?
2 questions: - Do you have a standard dimension for your tool organizers/holders that you make all of them some multiple of to make sure they fit and are easy to organize? - I ran across you from your Thingiverse postings and noticed that you almost never use PLA (it's always ABS or PETG when it's listed where PLA Is the most common), is there a reason?

Great work, I very much enjoyed watching this. What model 3d printer and brand of PETG are you using?
you can just tack the "single printed" ones together with 2 drops of silicone adhesive to stop their movement. should work fine with PETG.
when extruding the cut away portions through the whole base you should extrude to the end face, when doing that if you make adjustments the extrusion is stuck to the face no matter what, the way that you are doing it, if you make changes that are outside the constraints of the extrude cut then you will also have to adjust the extrude again.

Not bad, I would have put a small counter bore on the bottom for a magnet to help keep in place as the drawer opens and closes.
What computer desk are you using? All this great info and organization and my immediate thought was how great the computer workstation was!

Instead I got cheap ass 4mm poplar plywood (they sell it here at €2,20 for 5 sheets of 21x30cm) and some express glue.
You can even cut that stuff with a sharp cutter, though a power saw is recommended.
I plan to do a full set of 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 socket holders, do you recomend leaving a tolerance of the tool, say .1 or .2 mm or just make the hole exact eg 10 mm hole for a 10 mm socket?
Cheers
I'm guessing that you may have figured this out by now, but if not (and it may help someone else) first, a 10mm socket will have an OD somewhere around 14 or 15mm, and second, since you're laying down material by oozing it out hot and letting it cool, there is almost always some dimensional change in the final product, and it will be different for different parts, printers, filament... typically I find that when I get outside dimensions spot on, inside dimensions tend to end up a hair undersize (on my last print it worked out to be .15-.2mm, so about a total of .35mm tight for a round hole) or vice versa.
He specifically swelled his cutout .025" (so .050" counting both sides, that's a largish gap, about 1.3mm), but he also wanted a loose fit. Knowing how my printer prints PLA and how I'd want a socket holder to fit, I'd likely start at something like .5mm/.020".
I loooove the fact u use a dedicated headphones DAC. What kind of headphones do you use?.
I usually monitor with pair of Event TR-6 near-field monitors. When I'm recording, I wear a pair of Bose QC-15 noise-cancelling headphones. They make it a lot easier to differentiate noise in the recording from noise in the environment around me.
Now, I've got Organization Envy! LOL
If you have tools to organize, you have tools to make tools to organize your tools. :)
Nice video. Thank you. Do you think is a good idea if you also write the name of tool or the diameter of the tool on the 3D printed model so you don’t have to put the blue tape?
This is a very silly question I’m sure, but could the same cad be used to cut it from solid? Could this be used for subtractive as well as additive machining? Or is the cad process very different?
2 questions:
- Do you have a standard dimension for your tool organizers/holders that you make all of them some multiple of to make sure they fit and are easy to organize?
- I ran across you from your Thingiverse postings and noticed that you almost never use PLA (it's always ABS or PETG when it's listed where PLA Is the most common), is there a reason?
PETG is less brittle.
