This Might Be the Best 3D Printer Stand Ever (But It’s Not Ready Yet) - Part 1

So you bought a 3D printer… but where do you actually put it? This is PART 1 of a series of short videos on this build. In this video, I’m designing and building what might become the ultimate modular 3D printer stand using ⁨@adskFusion⁩ and an ⁨@AvidCNC⁩ This is the first prototype—and yeah… I already found some major mistakes. We’re taking everything learned from previous builds and turning it into a fully modular system designed to work with multiple printers like ⁨@BambuLab⁩ machines. From CAD design to CNC cutting to real-world assembly, this series will show the entire process step-by-step. And the best part? You don’t need to be a programmer to do this. If you can learn Fusion, you can build this or you can order a kit from us and assemble it yourself! Plans will be available on our site once the design is complete: www.petesquared23.com Project Overview This project is a modular CNC-cut 3D printer stand system designed for expandability, accuracy, and easy assembly. We’re prototyping, fixing mistakes, and refining the design so it’s ready for real-world use (and future kits/plans). Lessons Learned (So Far) • Clearance issues can ruin a design • Pre-drilled holes matter more than you think • Prototyping saves you from BIG mistakes 00:00 So You Bought a 3D Printer 00:09 Designing the Ultimate Stand 00:48 CNC Layout and Cut Simulation 01:16 You Don’t Need to Be Technical 01:52 Building the First Prototype 02:13 Prototype Reveal 02:27 What Went Wrong 03:05 Why Prototyping Is Important 03:22 Future Modular Features 03:44 Next Video: Filament Poop What’s Next Next video: solving one of the weirdest problems in 3D printing… 👉 Filament poop management 😅 🔗 Links Digital plans + projects: https://www.petesquared23.com If you’re into creative tech, CNC builds, or leveling up your workshop setup, subscribe for more projects like this 👍 #3dprinting #cnc #fusion360 #maker #workshop
