That's a nice design!
That thing is really cool, well done!!!!!
For half the price of that and 100x less time, you could have just gotten an actual lathe and put a tip on by then
Find me that lathe that is half the cost of the one in the video, I have the money in my pocket to buy it now. Thank you.
Guess you’ve already got the printer then
Sell it and buy 3 lathes
printers are cheap nowadays. maybe 90 bucks and you can get both a cheapo printer and the filament needed for this.
i have a cue lathe but for portability this is not bad. i would probably add features like a screw in the end to press the tip. could make it modular to fit 13mm / 14mm tips
Based on my quick googling, you can get a printer or a tip lathe for about the same price.
With a lathe you can install tips.
With a printer you can make almost anything including a lathe to install tips.
Printer FTW!

Absolutely no 90 dollar 3d printer will print quality and durability like shown in the video
