On today's episode I'm going to show you three simple prints to upgrade your

Ender three one of them helps prevent your extruder from wearing out and I'm

also gonna use a little Tinkercad to make it easier to install so you don't

have to buy any extra hardware and I'll show you two other prints that are

really handy so stay tuned I'll show you all of it on today's Filament Friday

Filament Friday is brought to you every week

by these patreon supporters. One of the features of the Ender 3 I don't like is

a spool holder on top it's added weight when you have a really full spool but

more importantly it's the angle of this filament. It's being pulled at a hard

angle at the extruder. Now I tried this on my CR 10 and it didn't take long before I

figured out that it's cutting into the extruder arm. I had a nice groove cut

into that thing and it was resisting movement and so I said let's move it

back to where it is on the side and that's what I'd like to do here move the

filament over here on the side so it's straight into the extruder and therefore

less resistance now it does make the printer a little bit wider but it's much

better for the printer in the long run because I'm not gonna wear out the

extruder arm but I needed to mount this bracket on an angle and I found this one

on Thingiverse it's the Ender three side spool mount by

user DrStreet this bracket is a nice design and it mounts perfectly

right here to the back of the machine but it requires a screw in a t nut for

both the side and the top although the top one is really the main one and then

you need two more screws and two flat nuts to hold the bracket to this and if

you don't have the T nuts and screws I'll put a link to this kit or these two

kits right up here they're very handy to have in the shop but you probably spent

enough for Christmas and so what I want to try to do is see if I could just use

the two screws and T nuts that hold this to the rail and a little 3d printing to

make this fit without any screws so let's import this into Tinkercad and

I'll show you how I modified it to make it work on the Ender three. Tinkercad dot

com is a free software for doing this. I imported the STL file in and then

there's two cutouts here for the nuts and then two holes to make the screws

fit easier and you can see where I'm cutting it

when I make this into invisible mode here and then here's the piece that's

actually gonna slide into the 2020 rail so then when I make this solid again and

I group all these together the cutouts are gonna make the holes bigger and it's

gonna join that little triangular piece and I have my bracket so this is what I

did in TinkerCAD brought it in to Cura printed out a point two layer height 50%

fill 200 degrees temperature 60 degrees on the bed 60 millimeters per second with

a skirt I click prepare and it said it would only take one hour and 34 minutes

to print when you're designing a custom 3d print like this there's a little

trick only print part of it I've printed just enough so I could test this on the

rail make sure everything fit that way I didn't waste a bunch of plastic and find

out the thing didn't fit if you do that two or three times it becomes a real

pain plus the time you lose so I just print a little thin piece like that test it

and that way I know when I do the final print it's gonna fit. Now to install it

the first step is to remove the old spool holder and then take those T nuts

off and slide them into the new slots that I made in the park and you can see

the holes line right up and so now I just need to put the bracket against it

and slightly tighten the screws so it holds and then flip this over and finish

tightening the screws all the way so this bracket and the spool holder become

one so now it's ready to be installed on the machine so I pop off the little

black plastic cap that covers the end of the extrusion this is on the ender

three pro that's why it looks a little bigger and it slides right on

it'll work on the Ender three or the ender three Pro then I put the cap back on

and now let's test it so the filament spool fits nicely you can bring the

filament in straight into the extruder no rubbing on the arm right into the

gear and into the PTFE tubing I'm sure some people were worried about the

filament hitting the threaded rod it really doesn't but here's a guide just in

case it is it's really for a CR 10 but it fits the Ender three just the same

it's got this little loop that you flip over the filament and then it just snaps

in place no screws or nothing required the filament will rub against it so it

defeats the purpose a little bit. I don't think you really need it but some people

will want it that's why I included it and you can print a new one if it ever

gets too worn. another print that I highly recommend is

this extruder knob by user tech boner and it's got a flat spot here to match

the flat spot on an extruder arm this should be able to just push right on you

shouldn't have to lower your gear you could if you want but it just pushes on

with plenty enough grip and now I can easily move this filament in and out

very very handy three very simple prints to take you from this to this and I

really like it but what do you guys think let me know in the comments below

TRUMP FINALLY DID IT TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE BORDER!! DEMS NEVER SAW THIS COMING - Duration: 11:57.

TRUMP FINALLY DID IT TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE BORDER!!

DEMS NEVER SAW THIS COMING

one of the people's favorite emojis thatNthere's the one that goes like this wellVthat's where

we are now with this whole funding battle after the president called

over leaders of Congress Republican side to a meeting at the

White House in which he basically told them that he needed to have something about border

security in the bill or he

certainly wasn't going to sign it the president in a statement from Sarah Sanders saying quote

President Trump just met with Republican members of the

House not surprisingly they all feel strongly about border security stopping the flow of

drugs stopping human trafficking and stopping terrorism we

protect nations all over the world the Democrats are unwilling to protect our nation we urgently

need funding for

border security and that includes a wall when the Speaker of the House his last day is supposed

to be today walked out of the White House it was clear that the president

dug in his heels and said I want something more than what the Senate

gave me last night listen here so what we're gonna do is go back to the house and work

with our members we want to keep the government open but we also

want to see an agreement that protects the border we have very serious concerns about

securing our border so the president said he will not sign this bill

so we're going to go back and work on adding border security to this also keeping the government

open because we do want to see an agreement just for the record

here are the 12 members of Congress on the Republican side who were in the meeting was

the Speaker Paul Ryan Kevin McCarthy the

incoming minority leader Steve Scalise Liz Cheney mo Brooks of Alabama Jim Jordan additionally

mark meadows Paul Mitchell Chris Gibson mark walker Barry ladder Milken and Wagner all

there as well but that the real question now Dana is I'm not

sure what they do because the Senate's left town and if they pass a measure that's got

funding for border

security in it there's nobody from the Senate to take a look at it the president will be

speaking at 2:30 we do know that so we he'll probably have

something to say about this it's also Ninteresting to note too that the president has kind of

stopped talking about a quote wall it is now talking

about a steel slat barrier which maybe Democrats may find more palatable I doubt it but he's

talking about it in

different terms well he's giving them some options on I did have one question for you

which is then why didn't the president say anything

before the Senate voted on the bill that now he doesn't like you know I was

talking to White House officials yesterday afternoon when this idea the CR was floating

around the Senate and I said so are you you're going to eat the CR and sign it and the consensus

seemed

to be yeah the president would you know reluctantly sign it but then the president woke up this

morning clearly was of a different mind than what his

aides told me yesterday so he wants this this funding for border security what he

can't get out of Congress he's going to try to get out of existing appropriation so this

tale has yet to be told in full and like many things around here at the

White House it's going to be a doozy IBwill not surrender this nation to the whims of

criminal organizations who prey on the vulnerable who hurt women and children

and has spread human misery and suffering human trafficking and massive drug inflow

must also be stopped it's at a tremendous level what we're doing and the

incredible job being done by border

security ice Border Patrol local police and the military the military has been incredible

and we're stopping them to process you wouldn't believe how tough

but we're stopping them in record numbers at this moment there is a debate over funding

border security in the wall also called so that I give them a little

bit of an out steel slats we don't use the word wall necessarily but it has to

be something special to do the job steel slots I've made my position very clear any measure

that= funds the government must include border security has to not for political purposes

but for for a country for the safety of our community this is not

merely my campaign promise this is the promise every lawmaker met that is the solemn promise

to protect and defend the

United States of America and it is our sacred obligation we have no choice for decades Washington

abandoned this commitment and millions and millions of people to enter our

country illegally and over the objections of the American people

no one voiced or voted for a policy no one endorsed this policy and no one ratified this

policy it was a total

assault on our democracy itself illegal immigration costs our nation two hundred and seventy five

billion dollars a year you hear many different numbers you can

say billions and billions but the number that I hear most accurate is two hundred and seventy

five billion dollars a year at least millions of jobs and thousands of

innocent lives more than 90% of

heroine comes across our southern border heroin deaths have tripled since 2002 every week

this illegal heroine kills at least 300 Americans and costs our nation

over 230 million to 289 billion dollars for nearly 5 billion dollars a week I spoke with

President Xi of China and he has agreed to make fentanyl another one of

the big big problems and probably I

think it's just gone to number one kills 80,000 people a year in our country he's going to

make that a major crime in China and if you get caught you pay a major penalty it's called

the death penalty and it wasn't listed as a crime until

I spoke to so I appreciate President Xi for doing that that's a

tremendous that's gonna have a tremendous impact every day 10 known or suspected terrorists

try to gain entry into our

country every day 2,000 illegal aliens try to cross our borders they try we get most

of them it's hard without a wall every year 50,000 illegal children are

smuggled by coyotes and criminals into our country in the last two years alone ice officers

arrested criminal aliens charged with or convicted of 100,000

assaults 30,000 sex crimes and 4,000 murders it's rough stuff yet the

Democrats continued to oppose border security no matter how many innocent people get hurt

or die ridiculously and dangerously certain people want open

borders which allow potentially massive crime our nation has spent trillions of dollars

and sacrificed thousands of brave young lives defending the borders

of foreign nations I am asking Congress to defend the border of our nation for tiny fraction

tiny fraction of the cost essential to border security is a

powerful physical barrier walls work whether we like it or not they work better than anything

in Israel 99.9 percent successful think of it I spoke to

Benjamin Netanyahu Prime Minister two

days ago we're talking about it he said it's 99.9 imeem he came up I didn't ask I said

99.9 percent successful we have proposed a steel slat barrier to halt the

deadly flow of these illegal traffickers smugglers and terrorists

every day that we deprive our Border Patrol and ice officers the resources

they need we put many innocent lives in harm's way it should be bipartisan I\ think it will

end up being bipartisan I really do illegal immigration also strains public services

that Americans depend on and illegal immigration drives down wages for the neediest Americans

no one who calls themselves a progressive should support illegal immigration open borders

hurts poor Americans more than anyone else

in our society in life there are certain principles worth fighting for principles that are more

important than politics party or personal convenience the safety and

security and sovereignty of the United States is the most important principle of all if

we don't stand strong for our national borders then we cease

to be a nation and we betray our

commitment to the loyal citizens of our great country I look forward to signing a bill that

fulfills our fundamental duty to the American people it is all about and I say this in any

way they want to hear it it's all about America first

we have to put our country first we have to put our people first and we have to put safety

first so thank you

all very much and we'll be working on that Mitch and Paul and Kevin and everybody and

we'll see what we can do but hopefully that all come together it

some additional perspective now in all these major stories from House Majority Leader Kevin

McCarthy Republican from California mr. leader thanks for joining

us first of all give us just an update

of how you think this gets solved from your point of view well first of all Brett think

about it you've already had 75% of the government funding we're

debating that last 25% this is about national security about border security so the Senate

sent over to us what is a continuing resolution that funds the government

as is with no border security

in there even though we've already been funding and building the wall it also had nothing

in there when it came to disasters remember the Hurricanes in North

Carolina in Florida in Georgia are the devastating fires in California so

what we will do and remember there are two separate bodies here it happens on

every bill we will take a continuing resolution we will add five billion dollars in that for

border security we'll also add the in there for disaster relief for those states

of devastation because they can't wait a lot of those individuals can't go

in plant can't rebuild entire cities are burnt in California and we'll send that over to

the Senate they can take action which we don't have a problem until Friday

tomorrow late I think there's some differences and we can find common

ground it's the way our government is designed to find common ground and come

to a solution right but you do you think you have the votes because you think you have

the votes in the house we will have the votes in the house we will pass it tonight

and we will send it to the Senate now the question is about the

Senate mr. leader yes because you have Chuck Schumer saying we're not doing it you have

senators over in the Senate who lost or they were stepping aside and they

may decide they're not gonna do this so where's your your optimism if you have any about getting

it past the Senate to avoid a partial shutdown well first

of all if I listen to Chuck

Schumer just a week ago he said he would fund the wall at 1.6 1.8 billion dollars is he

now saying he would not do that if I look at his what he voted on just a

few years back 2013 he funded and voted for a wall in that process as well so it's Chuck

Schumer changing his position

from the past and this is the real challenge here the American people have to understand

yes Republicans are in the majority we will pass it in the house

but the rules say you have to have 60 votes in the Senate so it really comes down to this

Chuck Schumer want to shut the government down
