    This project really captures the first-order retrievability Adam Savage often talks about

    • @simonmarcoux5879
      @simonmarcoux5879 Před 2 lety +100

      To some extend yes, but not completely. I feel that it is a perfect compromise between Adam's and Jamie's point of view.
      Adam Savage's first-order retrievability is encapsulated within a broader paradigm that is ''visual cacophony''...more simply put, if I don't see it then it doesn't exist. That trumps all else.
      He often said that drawers are where things go to die. Within a few notable exception for him like his machinist tools and his marking tools, most of it is reachable and visible at all time. In his first version, it was a toolbox where most tools where at hand reach without having to move another one. Nowadays, in his shop. it really really evolved into a broader philosophy.
      First order retrievability is also about if I need a hammer near tool X and a hammer near tool y, I will get two hammers for each spot. In a stark contrast, in Jamie's shop all hammers were at the hammer spot on the shop. That back and forth drove Adam crazy because it prevented him to go into a flow. Jamie used that time to rethink every aspect of his aspect through.
      Now, in both cases...they had huge shop compared to our average hobby shops.
      Coming back to this video, Adam savage would love a lot of the implementations, but might not like the tool chest part.
      Needless to say, I love the project and I get inspired by all makers to make stuff and organize.

    • @jeandrepeach
      @jeandrepeach Před 2 lety +26

      @@simonmarcoux5879 all good points of course. But I think the genius of Zack's new system is that it is compatible with both paradigms of organization. I have a suspicion that as the post reorganization entropy settle in, the Voidstar lab will again settle into a more Adam like state, ie with the things in drawers closer to where it is used. But, since the original design had this in mind (ie easy moving, the grouping trays, labels on top) all relevant parts or tools stay together when moved, visible when needed, stacked and stowed when not. It allows for the best of both worlds.
      I think different organizational structures suit different people's making style, but this system can adapt to both

The amount of tools, beads, chips, plectrums, and assorted odds and ends I'm trying to keep neat are gonna feel right at home in my spaces with this system.

    Zack, I just found your channel as the result of buying an Anycubic Kobra Max and wanted to learn about things to print. Gridfinity is cool, I can't wait to make it all, once I figure out how to put it together and learn 15 new software packages. You are just too funny and informative - my first CZcams Tip worthy subscription! Thanks for being a great You!

    "I'm just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks to the Like button" did, in fact, get me to push the Like button. Well done, sirrah.
    This entire project feels like taking a DeWalt or other high-end modular storage container and passing it through Adam Savage's "first order retrievability" criteron. Which is meant to be a compliment, so I hope it sounds like one. It also exactly meshes with my counter-argument to one of Maker's Muse's concerns about the recent AnkerMake commercial. In yon commercial, Anker shows a parent have an idea and go straight to 3d printing it, to make a toy for their child. Angus points out that this only works if one can 3d model, and the weakness of the whole "have an idea and then make your own bespoke item" concept is that 3d modelling is a skill that must be learnt.
    (Learnt is also a word, if you're collecting them. At least for those of us who aren't Americans.)
    My counter-argument is that there's room in-between "I did the whole process myself" and "make the mass produced item work" for things like this: a project where someone else has done the heavy 3d design work lifting, but where I can take the results and make something that fits my specific needs better and more flexibly than a mass produced object.
    Anyway: thanks for the video! I enjoyed it, it was a good way to spend 20 minutes! I've definitely got some uses for your tool storage stuff popping into my mind. Now I just face the two big roadblocks of: figuring out what's going to be useful, and freeing up printer time and filament to actually print tools and not other stuff. :)

    I hope this system gets the attention it deserves! REALLY impressed with the incredible amount of thought that has gone into it. I hate having a million different systems to hold things. I have CNC Mill/ Lathe parts in a huge number of Dollar General Tupperware containers, DeWault click together boxes and small parts organizers. I find the DeWault system pieces I have works well enough and is easy to 3D print inserts. But they cost money just to get a product I have to modify to use and they really weren't intended for my purposes! I'll certainly be trying the Gridfinity! The only issue I see in my personal application is lack of sufficient printers to make it in less than 1000 years! Certainly going to try though!

      A bathroom would probably be better served with using the 3d printer to make molds and using the molds to make silicone parts that can be sterilized from time to time. But, that's just me and it is a bit more involved.

    As an ex chef with OCD I can appreciate this greatly, we have a French term.. Mise en place... which basically means... everything in its place.
    It is a philosophy of arranging your work area so that you can work as effectively and efficiently as possible.
    One thing I find that helps immensely is to work out how to minimise the amount of tools you need to do a certain job, it is easy to have information overload when you are trying to perform a task and you have too many things around you.
    Also consistency, try not to change things too much, find a good way that works for you then stick to it, you can modify it once you have become comfortable with it.
    Take a step back, I have found that the only way to move forwards is to take steps back. It is easy to find yourself in a position where you can't see the wood for the trees.
    Force yourself to view things objectively, that is where reality exists, not in a subjective view point. You can either be lost in a crowd of people or standing on a hill looking at the whole crowd.

The Voron team has a nice method to do this by inscribing the hole within 2 squares which end up getting bridged and then the hole placed on top. No post processing needed and they print cleanly.

    Aside from the other observations and commentary that covers most of the awesomeness of this project (and nods to Alexandre Chappel) I just wanted to loudly applaud the monumental "Wall o' Text @6:42 ... That is totally worth the rest of the video on its own... I have no problem with a little short lived "protection" for something new and innovative to give a chance to earn a bit of profit from it... but I hate those that hoard it for decades (like the 3D printing patent) that stifled creativity for so long... There are a few rare fields where maintaining a hold is practical, like in the latest wanton changing of movies and stories because certain people are too lazy or creative to make new things (looking at you Amazon, DC, Marvel, et cetera) nothing wrong with adding into it, but there are "rules" to play in those worlds...
