    I always love seeing the Hilbert curve in slicers for infill. I can’t say I know of a more satisfying tool path to watch.

    A "live hinge" is a hinge made from a single solid piece of material.

    The most informative tip was that fusion 360 was free for personal use. I tried blender, but didn't understand it, so I've been using tinkercad this whole time.
  • @De1taX
    These are amazing tips!! Thank you!
  • @bernardtarver
    0:50 I'd prefer that you create a slicer modifier in Fusion. That way, you have more flexibility in strengthening a part (e.g., infill %, # of perimeters, perimeter width, etc.).
  • Woooow so sympathic, there was some questions I had and nobody answer me and you juste gived me all answers I need 😊
  • @sed6
    I would love to see that donut remixed with the threads on top and the sleeve on the bottom, that way your contents don't get crushed or displaced when you screw the top on.
  • @MikeyJBlakeJR
    I don't even 3d print but I love watching these. Good stuff!
  • @Aanaartu
    As a beginner with my first printer, these are some golden tips. I have background in industrial design but no real skills or knowledge engineering, apart from what I've got from school, so these are really useful things to know. I did not realize one can print chains in place!
  • This was really helpful! These tips will make my life so much better lol!
  • @mjstow
    I learned some cool stuff.... and that's a groovy marble machine. Thanks for sharing.

    0:52 or you could do an extra wall using cura "modify setting for overlaps" to change the wall and in fill, settings to create an extra wall inside the object without cutting the original model.
  • Wow. I came across this video by accident and it’s great. Subscribed and will be looking through your channel
  • very cool, love the high level speed run through these tricks. i don't have a specific application at this point in time, but i love knowing the general designs that are possible. thank you!
