Behind the scenes EP11 My best or worst idea ever and the project I'm working on

Hi guys! I've been working hard on this new design with the idea to spice up my upcoming videos a bit. The cool thing is that this Huvud board I used, more info here https://hackaday.io/project/174429-huvud-a-3d-printer-tool-head-controller-board enables some cool possibilities with that rocker. It's also possible to make a whole printer with this and I'm very excited about this product and I think it's odd that this is so unknown.

Please let me know what you think of this best/worst idea ever of using Loctite between the layers. I think that this would be a cool experiment to do :D

I took a few days off from work because I ran a bit out of energy and I hope I can post a new video soon. Thanks for your support!

A bit late, but thanks to you I was able to spice up the upcoming video! I contacted Steven directly and he sent me his Blender file. This is so sick!

Awesome Camera system, again I think you're in the making of a sellable product... Bigtime. The Locktite idea doesn't seem worth it to me, as the strongest part very well might become the Locktite adhesion between the layers, but i believe you will still be stuck with the given strength of the .2mm layer of filament. So what I'm saying is: "Yeah baby, go for it" 😁 Because what I've learned from this channel is, that you SO often just blow my mind and I learn something new !!

Sorry for the spam, but regarding the glue: you could make your own abs glue in any color you’d want by dissolving colored abs filament in acetone. Application to the print will temporarily soften it however.

Regarding the loctite: I would try to find an empty felt-tipped pen and fill that with loctite, so you won’t have to mess with syringes and the accompanying mechanism. Also drop-forming due to surface tension won’t be an issue. But you’ll need a way to make sure that the felt tip doesn’t dry out. Another solution could be to use an inkjet head as a dispenser.

Im also sceptical but hopeful about the BB joints, as I suspect the undulations of the bearing surfaces (both the printed ones and the BB‘s) to transfer into slow timelapses, yet I really hope that you’ll prove me wrong.

I’ve thrown all „charge only“ usb cables out because of similar experiences that you had 😄

Very cool idea indeed! I've seen similar camera rigs on YouTube especially a rig made by a guy named Stephen Hawes (he uses Blender to generate gcode for a timelapse scene). But your twist with the mounting options is genius! I also like the idea of having the motor controls directly on every motor. This could be useful in so many other applications too! Not sure if the layer adhesion will be better, but you never know unless you try! How about using some kind of sponge to apply the Loctite? I'd imagine it would be much more controlable and less likely to spill. Maybe you could send some samples to Stefan from CNC Kitchen and make a colab. He has like all the testing rigs. :D

Thanks Oscar! I can't wait to make some fancy timelapses with this thing and we'll find out how good of an idea the glue experiment will be ;)

I'm unable to sit still xD The fumes definitely will be harmful and I'm not planning to inhale it. Good point about that viscosity, part of the experiment will be to find the best glue for this and maybe epoxy resin or other higher viscosity glue will be better. We'll find out, not every fabrication process has to be inherently safe as long as the right measures are taken ;)

That looks awesome, what a fantastic idea. You have some great ideas. These videos are the best. Thank you 😊

A few days off and you come up with an entire camera panning system!? Sesssh :P low viscosity CA glue is a pain, it runs everywhere. Hot CA fumes are gonna hurt you :/
