Support these projects on patreon: https://patreon.com/stuffmadehere Check out the subreddit: https://tinyurl.com/smhere In this video I show more techniques for 3D printed sheet metal press forming tools. I improve over my previous designs by making a tool with a moving action as well as fixing a major design flaw. I also demonstrate a more complicated forming operation with many features made in one pressing. These videos usually take a ton of work and a lot of money in tools and materials.
