Another great video mate

If drawing in a CAD program is a barrier to buying a 3D printer, then Thinkercad is a nice free online program to learn it. Actually it is a children's program, but you can make beautiful things with it. For the advanced users there is OnShape, which can also be used online for free. But this does require more skills.

I saw this on that one show and wow you're actually on the water, that's awesome. So do you live on it full time? That's the dream.

ABS plastic for acetone smoothing. Pla is bio degradable so will go brittle under uv light

Nice one. Been doing a little 3d printing today, too. Was using Tinkercad, which is very simple CAD. Making little bits that are part of big bits, that are part of a bigger project, though not a rocket! Do you have space for a hammock in the pilothouse? If so they are good, especially the sideways types.

nice to have a pee hole on the poop deck.

I like your work area, great views

You've taken " messing around in a boat" to an art.

Being out in the weather.... yeah it reminds us we are not in control but there is also a rightness about being there too. I just went out to install a hatch on the dinghy i'm building and stood in the rain for a while.... it seemed all the cares of the world just dropped off.... So front half is done.... now for the aft. Yeah nesting dinghy, our sail boat is not so large as yours ;)

I thought you re about to throw the saw into the sea

In most cases if your machine is dialed in right. You don't need the support. The machine can bridge that gap. The quality of your first layer that is at the supports and how easy it is to remove the supports shows the machine can bridge it without too much sagging. Even if that first layer sags a bit the subsequent layers will be able to build off it and it will still be a good print.

fishing rod holder next to the toilet........ right?

Yet another trip to Homer’s House

And yes you made me buy the damn 3D Printer!

Keep living it Brother. Take no prisoners.

Your houseboat is becoming more research vessel every day with these upgrades.

❤❤❤👍👍👍

Get off anchor and go do something you may as well be back in tulsa. Go sailing ..... you're an anchor ape

Acetone for abs works, for pla a coating of superglue / crazy glue will strengthen the part

Carpenters had a saying set the saw as deep as you wànt to çut your leg Captain Hook i love you all

I laughed about the “square” cut plywood. A few weeks ago I was repairing one of the pilot house doors on my boat and I picked up a piece of plywood at another big box store (the blue one) I was trying to get the thing to fit and was grumbling some cuz I couldn’t get it ti fit in the track. I figured the track wasn’t square wrong, I finally looked at the cut they had made! Maybe they have the same saw!

You need to get a recycling unit for your 3D print filament, to reuse the waste.

Acetone for ABS not PLA.

Always like watching your projects 😊

Hey Doug, try putting a square on the factory made plywood corners sometime. You will be amazed how many of them are not square. I was shall we say " A wee bit annoyed" when I figured out why my stuff wasn't square. The solution was find and use a good factory corner to start, or make one myself. And don't forget to make sure your square IS square. That's a great way to ruin your entire CENSORED day! Jim Y

Bedroom with a view 24-7 better than OK homestead . Creativity is priceless. I wonder what the Barge crews think you upto everytime they go by.

Really liking the 3D printing stuff. When i read the i thought you were referring to the store by that name. I run a maple evaporator at a local festival. Needed a log hand operated hydraulic log splitter (no electrical and didnt want the noise of ICE). Guess where i ordered it from! Guess its part ofcthe beyond in bed bath and beyond! They even shipped the 100lb splitter for free!

Use ASA! Then use acetone to seal it so the pee won’t leach through.

Hell I bet the weather is better than all this rain and even tornado that smacked barnsdall. Sure miss seeing your ship being built every day i drove down 75.

I may need one of those 3Dprinteers,.,.,.Tkzz for sharing,.,..,peace

make sure the paint on the plywood soaks in good as it appears it is already delaminating...

You have all the kool tools

Yeah, acetone doesn't work on pla. The printer is a great tool to have on the boat. I have one of those Bauer osaws and love it. I skimped on a Chicago Electric and it crapped out first job. The Bauer I've definitely got my moneys worth out of. Highly recommend it.

Recommend Gatorade bottle as urinal. Octagon grippy bottle, resealable, sturdy and 32oz bottle top is wide enough for but the luckiest Capts (But don’t use an old Lemon-Lime bottle to avoid mixups!)

Switch to PETG... Does much better with UV exposure than the PLA.

You been sleeping on that tiny thing this whole time?!? The cushions are already brutal but the super small size is insane makes building the boat seem easy

You know you got this cause there is a new woman around. Keep up the good work and if you aren't having fun you aren't living.

Acetone works with ABS Plastic. I'm not sure it will work with PLA. Since the Acetone melts the ABS plastic you can use it as a glue that is stronger than the original 3D print bond. As you're essentially plastic welding the ABS plastic pieces together. You can also create a "Slurry" by taking ABS plastic (usually supports that would normally go to the trash) and placing them in a glass jar. Pour a small amount of acetone into the jar and let it sit over night. in the morning you will have a melted liquid ABS plastic slurry. You can use it to repair broken ABS 3D prints or to thicken weak areas. you brush on the slurry and let it sit. Once the Acetone evaporates the plastic rehardens and is as strong as plastic injected parts. It looks like this is what you are trying with the PLA, however I am not sure that it will work the same way with PLA. :)

I just love your originality. Been watching you for years and you never cease to amaze me.

YOU need an electrick MOTOR

Dang! I could have built a rocket ship instead of this shop shed.

When Doug's to lazy to go to bed down stair's. Love it plus it's a good spot to keep an 👀on thing's when someone else is at the wheel.

Acetone works very well on ABS, but not at all on PLA, for PLA there are other chemicals to do the same trick.

Acetone dosen't work with PLA. It works with ABS to smooth out layers and make waterproof. Good luck.

Love it so much keep it up as always 💘

That's definitely the nicest 3D printer I have seen.

Really good video going over all filament types: vSwumoSlZTo

It's the acetone vapours that you're after. You have to seal the part in with the vapour for a few hours and it smooths the part

not everyone can afford that kind of thing
