I 3D Printed a $1,224 Chair

You wouldn’t download a chair.

1. love the chair 2. hate what it will do to a wood floor after a while of spinning....

I was literally in this video at the DWR location you visited. We would have given you any measurements or a tape measure if you'd have asked, we're all designers and makers 🥰

👎🏽 thumbs down to slant 3D if they actually charged you full price with a mistake from their part

Slant3D come off horrendously in this video. What's the opposite of advertising? Because they've managed it here. They contacted you for a collab and still made you pay for everything. They screwed up one of the pieces, admitted it was their fault, and didn't offer any form of compensation. Admittedly, it wouldn't have been as big of a deal if you had done a dry-fit first, but it's still their fault for sending the incorrect part in the first place. Lastly, they ran out of red PLA, bought extra spools at a higher cost and forwarded the extra material cost onto you WITHOUT ASKING FIRST!?!? If I ever need something 3D printed, I know where not to go.

I'm trying hard not to scream at the screen "BROOOO JUST GLOOP IT!" 3D Gloop bonds your prints together almost instantly, and it's permanent. Like, hang off a 1" square permanent. I'm sending this video to them so they get in touch with you next time... I'm super glad it worked out, would be cool to bondo and paint it!!

First rule of any project: dry fit first 🫣

So Slant3D approached YOU about doing a collaboration, AND you made an entire video giving them exposure, but they still sent you the bill?

The moral is to always dry fit components before gluing. Also, it is a bit ridiculous that Slant3D didn't give you any cut for the colossal waste of time, material and mental anguish they caused.

So slant messed up the print but still charged full price?

Don't think they are going to sue him, looking at the end result I don't think many people are gonna try and 3d print that thing. Unless they have a gigantic 3d printer that can print the whole chair in one piece that is.

19:18 You're doing well giving them the middle finger for screwing you over. Had this been a real collab and had they given you the parts for free, no biggie, but you've paid for it, you're entitled to the part you've requested

this was a hell of a crossover episode. And the fact that you couldn't easily find someone with a big 3D printer to suit your needs makes me want to build one. After seeing something like what Dr D-Flo made or how they already have consumer printers like the giga made me assume that it would not be a good use of time.

Wait so they charged you for a messed up print along with overcharging for the filament since they didn't have it and had to buy off the shelf?

Morley, don't drown in a cup of water. You definitely rushed EVERYTHING about assembling this chair.

just for reference, in Europe this chair costs around 600 dollars 😬

"Eden has convinced me to keep going and we'll see" - Eden the MVP. Great content Morley. I would have wore a helmet for the test of the chair tho 😆

Awesome project. Shout out to your wife... I can see she was a real angel helping you keep your shit together in that moment of despair. Go hug that woman and thank her for growing together with you.

Eden listening to you and validating your feelings: that's some top notch listening skills on her part. Kudos to her for that: not a lot of people are good listeners.

cool project but my 2 cents are... i would have connected each piece with 2 dowel rods. that would have eliminated 2 degrees of freedom, that way the pieces could not rotate around the single dowel. then you would only have to worry about holding the 2 pieces together at the glue joint. we did this in woodworking when gluing flat boards together by using a sprinkle of table salt on the glue. when the boards were pressed together they are prevented from sliding around and you only have to worry about clamping them together.
