Clough42 has a decent review. He's got the good and the bad in his review. He claims to have run his for a few hundred hours.
Thank you. I will have to check out his review.
Good video. Thank you. It will likely be between the X1C and this come this fall when I look to buy. I was wanting larger for less pieces for tool drawer holders and this might solve it.Link to the video...
Edit: TLR, It just works, like he has come to expect from Bambu. Jump to min 25:00 to hear the "Yes, but" comments.
Yeah, watched the videos early this morning. Im curious but not totally interested. May be because im not advanced enough in my printing skills. Maybe the most compelling in the video was how Clough printed a tube with integrated TPU gasket. That’s freakin cool as hell.
Yes, there are now a few. No one is posting the number of hours on them tho…
Now theres a model I can use. I need to check on my tiny cleco collection that I never use becuase I don't much like sheetmetal work either....Last for how, Celco organizer. Cleco’s are a rarely used tools for me because I rarely do sheet metal work. I’ve been content keeping them in a little cardboard tray in the corner of a drawer but always disliked the digitization of doing so. This will be way better and make reaching for them enjoyable.
Not exactly what it is designed for but I wonder if you could get a rough starting point using a sheet goods cut calculator. That said I am surprised someone has not made a gridfinity calculator for bins and not just the grid panels.
A very good question. It’s occurred to me a time or two but haven’t spent time thinking about how it would work. It would be a nice tool to have. The way I do it now I end up re-printing pieces to finalize the layout after a bunch of guessing.
Maybe. The hard part is there’s a lot of variables. Bin size, what you want to organize together, base size, and even clearance (drawer depth) maybe. Like the idea tho
I love that cleco holder!I’ve been working on some new drawer organizers now exclusively in Fusion 360. Im starting to tackle some of the more frustrating things to grab. An example is the collets for the rib-nut gun. I was keeping them in a cup like thing which caused all the parts to more or less stay mixed up. That then encouraged me to keep the most common ones in the drawer outside the cup which allowed parts to get scattered in the drawer. No more.
Next is the hole saw drawer. Most of my hole saws are Morse with the integrated shank. They’re awesome for fabrication but totally **** to store. I’ve resorted to storing them face down which does work well but also scratches the snot out of the drawer itself which drives me nuts. These organizers allow me to store them face up. I’m still working on the Tetris of them and will like change the size of a few to better interlock but I’m close. After going thru the collection I realized I’m about 5 short of a full set 5/8” - 4 3/8” so I went ahead and ordered the remaining few. You might be wondering what the heck I need with so many hole saws…well before CNC router I fabricated templates for repeat operations and used a hand router.
Next up are the tap drawers. I have a **** ton of taps but it turns out I have way less of specific ones that I thought (like taper taps). Instead of having to refer to a drill tap chart I decided to add those details to the trays themselves.
Add that detail, and keeping the drills and taps right next to each other (instead of above/below like in the old shop), it should be way faster to get the setup I need for any given thread.
This drawer will give you an idea of what I’m shooting for but will need to be tweaked more than a little before it’s done because some of the organizers I printed I don’t need. E.g. I’ll always have spiral point and spiral flute taps in every size because I use them primarily in the knee mill and tapping arm. Tapers I like for starting threads when power tapping on the lathe (tho only really good in larger sized taps). That said, I never buy taper taps so I have way less than I used to which eliminates the need for having a dedicated place for them.
Last for how, Celco organizer. Cleco’s are a rarely used tools for me because I rarely do sheet metal work. I’ve been content keeping them in a little cardboard tray in the corner of a drawer but always disliked the digitization of doing so. This will be way better and make reaching for them enjoyable.
It’s always been that way for me. The tool box is always evolving and changing and I’ve already accepted that maybe I will pitch a bunch just in normal tool replacement situations. I decided that is one of the risks of having this level of organization. May not be for everyone tho. It’s also not cheap and the expense is also an important thing to consider.
Yeah no $hit. Flat, round, damn.
How heavy is this oven?
Conservative calculations - 4x8 of 16ga steel weighs ~88lbs. 7 sheets inside, 7 sheets out - 1200 lbs. I’m gonna an assume that the rounding up if the sheet metal (I won’t use 16ga on the outside) covers the steel studs and insulation. Let’s add another 200lbs for the ducting, fan, and controller. Maybe add another 100 for some reinforcement of the door, hinges, etc
It works very well keeping one side captive and it helps prevent bolt creep or hollow tube expansion. More or less it’s where you tighten the bolt to correct torque but the tubing shape can’t hold the tension over time causing the bolt to become loose. I used it in the suspension systems (jeep stuff) where a bolt needed to go thru a vehicles frame.
Some have been pitched but I have most of them still. You want em?I'd call the DOM inserts overkill for sure. I have a deep appreciation for such overkill.
With all of the trays/dividers/etc that you're printing I'm curious what happened to all of the organizing pieces that you had machined for use at the old house?
Thanks Stephen. So in this case you're using a flange instead of a bend. That would be why I don't have an options other than "Start", "Center", and "End. Flange can work but based on how it's utilized, it seems like it's not technically part of the part. Meaning, what happens when your model has multiple connected bends that fold up into the entity? I do agree however that this is a much easier way to do what I was trying to do. Makes sense. I'll see if I can add a flange to a flange...The resulting corner detail:
This kind of part doesn't require welding, generally speaking. We do weld parts like this when the project warrants. It's a quick fusion weld with little if not any filler.
