So I 3D a die filer. in this video I show what I've made so far and what I still have to do. I Teased this a while back but due to a certain vise and some issues with building it its taken longer than planned. I wanted to get this up today since im away all of next week and didnt want to put it off any more.

Open source as usual, ill have the files up a bit later

this is still a WIP! This video is showing my progress so far, part two will be the final version which will go over the final design decisions ect. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PRINTING YET! Files are just for anyone curious or who may be working on something similar.

My name is Chris, I am a 3D printing hobbyist from australia. I dont really specialise in anything specific, but 3D printed tools and tabletop accessories are some things youll probably seen quiet often. I do all my 3d printing on a Ender 3, which I highly recommend as a budget printer. Currently I only run 1 printer but I hope to expand that in the future. Recently acquired a photon 0 to do resin printing with. I like to share all my 3D printing ideas for free although I do plan to sell stuff in the future. Most of my projects will be mostly 3D printed with a few non printed components included, these can often be found on ebay. I actually use the cheapest filament I can get for all my projects, again I hope to change this in the future.
