3D printed die filer

[Elizabeth Greene]

I want a die filer and started designing one that I could 3d print.

... Then this guy drops a video where he just finished one. SWEET.

I went to the original builders Youtube page and found some amazing 3D printing work! However is some cases I really feel like the builder went a little too far with 3D printing.

Instead it might have been better, to just integrating some square tubing or aluminum extrusion, into his builds. It would have resulted in better equipment made and better use of his 3D printing time. I know there is huge fun in 3D printing so I don't want to dismiss that. It is just that things like his little 3D printed lathe would likely have been "better" with tubing or extrusions. Better in quotes because of the various ways to measure that.

In any event the die filer is pretty neat rendition of an "old fashion" but very useful machine in the small shop. For me it is a huge example of a creative mind findign a new way to an old solution.
