This video is brought to you by PCBWay, your one-stop-shop for PCB prototypes and assemblies, flexible and advanced PCBs, laser cutting, and even professional grade MGAF and PolyJet 3D printing. Visit https://jle.vi/pcbway --- With just a handful of different types of affordable, readily available hardware, you can level up your 3D printed projects from limited use, fragile, plastic toys to functional 3d prints, or even full scale mechanical wonders... and in this video I'm going to give you a complete list of which components to buy, what they're used for, and how they help you make your 3D prints more functional. Stick around to the end because I also have some surprising and lesser known and frankly, downright funky goodies that I know you haven't thought of using in your own functional 3d prints yet... and they make for some REALLY cool 3d prints and 3d print ideas that you've probably never even seen before :) ๐คซ Get behind the scenes and exclusive content on my Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer ๐ฌ JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord ๐ฅ IN THIS VIDEO: ๐ฅ 00:00 Introduction 01:58 Nuts, Bolts and Washers ๐ ๏ธ My recommended nuts, bolts and washers here: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing 04:47 Heat-Set Inserts ๐ ๏ธ The Best Quality Heat-Set Inserts On The Market: https://cnckitchen.store/ ๐ ๏ธ Buy Heat-Set Inserts on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDJ88AP ๐ ๏ธ Buy Heat-Set Inserts on Amazon: https://geni.us/heatsetinserts [Amazon] 07:00 NFC Chips ๐ ๏ธ Get your NFC stickers on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDWNYOP 10:37 Magnets ๐ ๏ธ Different sizes of neodymium magnets for 3d prints here: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing ๐ ๏ธ Get an adjustable heat soldering iron on Amazon: https://geni.us/solderingironkit [Amazon] ๐ ๏ธ Get your CA glue here: https://geni.us/craftadhesiveglue [Amazon] 13:05 Bearings ๐ ๏ธ Buy your bearings on Amazon: https://geni.us/ballbearings [Amazon] 15:30 T-Nuts ๐ ๏ธ Buy T-Nuts on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEztP3z 16:43 Springs 18:11 Fans ๐ ๏ธ Buy assorted fans on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DEnvHK3 19:46 Thermal Switches ๐ ๏ธ Buy thermal switches on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DenO8WJ 21:00 Keychain Rings ๐ ๏ธ Buy keychain rings on AliExpress: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DCsIjfN 22:01 Weights for 3d printing ๐ RECOMMENDED GEAR: ๐ ๐ Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing ๐ Complete list of my videography gear: https://kit.co/jlevi/content-creation ๐ Check out the official TNL merch: https://shop.thenextlayer.com/ ๐ PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THE CHANNEL BY SHOPPING USING MY LINKS!
