hey guys we're Evan and Katelyn today
we're gonna build this digital
fabrication cart so this is what it
currently looks like we have our 3d
printers over here another 3d printer
here our CNC here it's on three
different surfaces this is also a guest
room so we really need to figure out a
better solution we want to make
something modular so that if we changed
printers or we need new accessories we
can just modify it so we're gonna use
our favorite building material T-slot
aluminum framing
to main constraint for this project
was size we need to fit the cart
through our doorways and hallways and it
needs to hold all of our machines
this is weird
We designed our cart in Vention where
you can drag-and-drop 3d parts from a
library and can order the whole assembly
with one click even get it shipped the
next day
last piece ah
does it fit yeah
let's test how sturdy it is ride it like a
skateboard so this is awesome it's
really sturdy but we can't put anything
on it till we build some wood shelves
I don't want to I already know it doesn't fit I just messed up
one one measurement little more yeah
okay so we have all of our wooden
shelves cut to size they should all fit
yeah you'll notice these two panels we
actually didn't just do a continual
sheet we did two different sheets and
that's so if in the future let's say the
printer we put down here is taller we
can move up this shelf we don't have to
cut our board in half we also cut some
two by fours that we're gonna attach to
the underside of the shelves for additional
reinforcement alrighty
one thing you might notice though is
that the shelves aren't attached to
framing so we're gonna 3d print some
brackets to hold them down we could have
so we could have bought some brackets but we 3d printed
them so we could get this orientation
feature get the right hole size
for our screw and I was able to get the
right height so I didn't have to go to
the store and get new screws
way easier to 3d print 14 of these way easier
you're going backwards? yes well that's a lot easier
it's time! hope it fits. there's a tripod in the way
ok so the doorknobs are the trouble spots
nice nice oh yes wide load. uh oh. it's hitting the bed frame? I wonder if we can just. That sounded bad
in our next episode we'll build a new bed
yeah yeah yeah yeah perfect
look at that hat it's like we envisioned
this oh my gosh this makes me happy that
makes me so happy
is this more or less awkward oh it's roll- it's not locked. Ah yeah I
I feel like we've reclaimed our room a little bit we can
actually walk around it which is a big
plus you can see the window this just
has maybe half the footprint of the old
set up that's awesome and we're already
brainstorming on ways we can add onto
this we definitely want to do an
enclosure to keep the noise down and
retain the heat in there let me be out
of the laptop stand make some spool
holders there's like a ton that we can
do I love how modular this is when we
inevitably add another machine
we'll definitely be going to Vention
designing an extension to this ordering
our parts that was an awesome process
thank you guys again for sponsoring and
it's time for after show so if you guys
don't know after every single video we
publish on youtube we do an after-show
where we keep on talking a little bit
longer about the project about like the
same names and you can catch that over
at patreon dot com slash Evan and Katelyn where
you'll also find sneak peeks bonus
things mini vlogs yeah yeah it's fun... so hope to see you over there. bye! bringing it around
town bringing it around town. tiny little steps. tiny little steps.
it's just gonna be my butt! it's just gonna be my butt! hey guys hey again I made a real weird face
