Ah. One basic rule is you always have the wrong size of screws or exactly one is missing. ☺️

Rule number #1. Better looking at it then looking for it.

Thank you. You reminded me of a colleague from decades ago, a South African electronics guy. He had worked for a company in SA that made ghetto blaster radios (if you are too young to know what that is, google is your friend 🙂 . The Bill of Materials for the ghetto blaster include "House brick, qty 1"<br><br>I'm a retired electronics engineer. When I retired I started buying components, all cheaply on eBay. I now have a collection of transistors, chips, resistors, Arduino sensor module etc etc that would make some development labs look under-resourced. All, of course, stored in a 3D printed drawer system. There's not much I can't do in the space with my "in stock" range.<br><br>Once in a while I may get some substandard parts. But I have the skills to test and recognise, and usually correct for it in my designs.

The amount off information that there is for 3d printing is crushing me. Thanks for this tight video.:text-green-game-over:

I find bird shot bought at a local gun store or reloading supplier to be perfect for adding weight it conforms to almost any cavity and getting just the right weight is a piece of cake.

Great tips as always, but instead of heated inserts, I design my parts with cavities for captive nuts and then insert a pause at the top of the cavity. Then I can easily slide them into the warm plastic and then have multiple layers of plastic over making them ultra secure.

You should get an angle grinder; the corded ones are pretty cheap, cutting and grinding wheels are pretty cheap, and for cutting something like 1/2" rebar they're definitely better than wearing out your diamond cutting Dremel wheels on. But great content, you provide a lot of tips most people don't consider

The “Rolling Storage Box” is reminiscent of the Dutch “RolyKit” from the 70s. I’ve actually been wanting to model it myself to recreate it with my 3D printer. Both of my older siblings had one when I was little - still have them, though a little banged up - and I’ve always wanted one of my own.
