High Tech meets Traditional Woodworking – They Become Close Friends

A friend film – the perfect pairing of old school and new school 3D printing.
3D printing makes the hard-to-do a snap, like repairing my tail vise so that it turns the proper way. And I have no doubt the repair is strong enough and will last for many years to come.

There will be a strong mix of 3D printing in my jobs from now on and a few of those are readily available to my advocates on Patreon:

The printer I'm utilizing is the P1P design from #bambulab

    1. Next time think about adding grease nipples and grease flow tubes so you can add fresh grease in the future with a bit more ease.

  2. This video is a mini dream come true for me. I’ve always wanted to see a traditional woodworking vice 3D printed. Another way to 3dp threads is to print them vertically with a hole in the middle, run a threaded rod through the print and clamp down on both ends with nuts. It puts the threads in constant compression and they become very strong as the layers won’t split and the threads are very smooth.

  3. I don’t know why, after all the years of watching your videos, but I am still so impressed at your level of innovation. I don’t generally watch videos with CNC, Laser Cutting or 3D printing because I don’t posses those and can’t afford them, but your 3D printing videos are highly entertaining due to your high level of innovation. Great work John!

    1. If you do woodworking, you can afford a 3d printer or a laser. They all start cheap. But we know cheap tools may get you cheap results. Mind you. I don’t own festool as a woodworker. I have shifted my money to buying a house temp/ getting my garage up to level I prefer in many ways and not even woodworking. If I build something, it’s mostly with fence pickets and such. If I was really back into the space, I would figure out what I don’t know. The thing about mostly simple coding is, it’s not that different from woodworking. Do this and you get that. Bad result. Try it again just slightly different. The programming is what us older people learned in our youth, was called growing up. That’s exactly what it is. Just go cheap machines and wood. Or what ever you have. Use cardboard for laser for example.

  4. Brilliant, John! That’s fantastic! 😃
    It’s going to make things much easier for building vises!!!
    Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

  5. This is a really cool idea. I wonder how the threads will hold up over time?

  6. The old school and new school is great. I think you’re on to some fun here.

    1. Yeah seeing stuff like dovetail splines used in place of bolts for connecting printed halves is pretty cool.

  7. You really opening a new world for me about 3D printing and showing how useful it can be. Love it.

  8. I think you should print your ibuildit logo to replace the yellow smilely face on your printer door/cover.

  9. I’m very much enjoying the fusion between woodworking and 3D printing. So many interesting possibilities!

  10. Nice to see a seasoned maker using “new” technology. Fantastic job on your CNC build John.

  11. great…now i have to design a 3d printable vice for my workbench. excelent engineering work john, seriously the blending of 3d printing / cnc with traditional woodwork is the future

  12. I have always been impressed at the depth of John’s arsenal of ideas, techniques, different materials and tenacity. All these years and I am still learning new things. Such a treat to wake up to this video today.

  13. You’re really getting good at 3D printing John. I like to see this kind of mesh between wood and plastic. – Chris

  14. This is inspiring stuff, John!

    Thank you so much for sharing these ideas and techniques. I really want to implement the use of my 3d printer into woodworking, even though I’m still in the early stages of even having something like a woodshop for myself. Your videos often prompt me to consider how I might customize my shop and tools to fit my needs.

  15. The wood/3D printed fusion ideas youve had have been fantastic to see, keeping woodworking content fresh!

  16. Nice work John. Using my printers again to make door locks for my collection of Japanese slot machines so I don’t have to use keys anymore.
