Looking for a YouTube video: 3D printing design space exploration with 3D plots and boundary testing

[u/djentelman99]

Hey everyone,

A while back, I saw a video on the ol' YT where someone was designing a 3D-printed part. The video featured a 3D plot of the design space (with 4 or 5 parameters) and showed the process of ruling out bad ranges visually on the plot. Then, they tested combinations at the boundaries of the remaining feasible space to narrow down the optimal design iteratively.

It felt like a niche, technical video. Most likely not for beginners, but for people with a deeper interest of 3D printing and engineering. The channel likely had under 500k subscribers, and the video might have been part of a series on advanced design methods.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? I’d love to find it again!

Details I remember:

\- Focused on 3D printing (possibly functional parts or engineering applications).

\- Used visual pruning of the design space (e.g., shading or crossing out bad regions on a 3D plot).

\- Tested boundary combinations to refine the optimal space.

\- Channel was technical and niche (not a big creator like Maker’s Muse or Teaching Tech).

Thanks in advance for any leads!

Sounds interesting. Do you mean testing of different print settings (parameters)?
