3D Printing a Spider Tank Mark 5!!!!! 001

[@rick35149]

I never comment in any video, buy I need to say that this is one of your best videos! 10 years watching, good work!

[@Sailingon]

Free cad is quite nice and easy to get to grips with. And loads of tutorials on KZbin

[@cleekersneaker]

I remember the giant spider saga. Fun times.

[@mecanoman]

I also got a 3D printer and was very impressed on how good is at printing mechanical parts, the ability to make perfect gears, without needing a lathe and a milling machine with a universal dividing gear and all the tooling involved, and make the parts autonomously, it's a game changer. Plus it generates waaaay less trash and it's cheaper. Now I'm like "Why the hell didn't I get one sooner???"

[@gfabasic32]

I wonder if your camera lens is perhaps a bit dusty because of the slight haze in your broadcast.

[@MrTijn666]

Jaimie please 🙏share these STL's. maybe on printables? we all want to print this too!!!

[@nateandersn]

Will you be sharing the design? I would love to build a few with my children.

[@erocbronco]

awesome!!

[@anonwhyz]

cooool!

[@Relemsis]

hell yeah brother that's what I'm talking about I have been watching since like spider tank mark 1 and let me say it is a damn nice machine, I would love to 3d print one of my own one day

[@nalissolus9213]

You seem in great spirit Jamie, makes me happy. Happy new year everyone!

[@randomx4289]

Reminds me of Jack and Dexter.

In prusaslicer you can import files in imperial units. File -> Import -> Import STL (Imperial Units)

[@KY.Jelly07]

I still can't mentally picture how you have the centre part rotate to determine the driving direction. But using a simple 2ch remote is also brilliant. I really feel like you missed out on a huge profit with the toy company the 1st time around.

[@geobum]

wild, i have been researching planetary and cycloidal gears and 3d printing test stuff for last couple weeks and now my fave YT'er is talkin gear ratios and printing gears!

[@borgfeidor4875]

That "Inches" tick-box below the scale settings in PrusaSlicer..

[@JezailleBrett]

Hulk supervise!

[@bkbroiler8069]

Any chance you might share the print files? I've wanted one of these since i saw it on your channel.

[@jasperedwards2713]

make a boat propeller

[@dextersxxxxlab]

If you have to print multiple smaller items you should check for the option " print one at a time". But then you need to insert the parts all seperate too. And you have to make sure your slicer has the information for the printers needed print head space programmed in. ( I use cura slicer and am not sure prusa also have this option to print one by one). But If you set the slicer to " print one by one" you should see the maximum build height reduce a lot and after you insert a part you should see a dark area around that represents the head space claim. So the next item can overlap dark area but the part itself can not touch the dark spaceclaim area of the other parts. If you print this way you will get rid of all the fuzz in between individual parts. leading to cleaner prints in general. I think the spider robot design is a real genius one. well done.

[@n8o]

prusaslicer has it under Print Settings > Output Options > Complete individual objects and there are options for extruder clearance if needed

[@rexclay2231]

3d printer, ! 3d printed jet drive add on ( adapter ) for small boat ? maybe

[@Josephthedreamer-v7y]

Do you ever go onto Popa Island?

[@ducttapeengineer]

I'm curious how you're handling the filament hydrolyzing

[@TioDave]

I'm getting ready to print and build one of those scale rc excavators. My intention is to design my own purpose built rc vehicles. That would do different task. Like gardening task and many more. It's amazing the quality you can get these days from a 3d printer.

[@peasoupcreek]

i would be keen to get the 3d files happy if it will be a cost as long as its not too much maybe v6

[@eriknoorlandt]

Hey Jamie, long time fan. Loved the giant robot project. Will you consider making the mark5 available for other advantuee builders. Will definitely become a hit. I'll build one with my son.

[@nonsquid]

Why don't you move to a mountain top and build a giant aluminum spider robot and a trampoline geodesic house and cut your own lumber? Oh wait, that was last life time ago. You are an inspiration to us all.

[@Tom83L]

Please share the STL files! I would pay for them from your website if made available.

[@HappyMike78]

A few years Back Jaimie released some .stl files. Wonder if he'd be willing to do that again, or if anyone knows where those live?

[@ozarkmountaintravels]

So excited for this. I loved the spider tank video and your robot videos! Do you have any plans for implements or ad one already??

[@ericeidsness2210]

SPIDER TANK MARK FIVE..IS SICK .. I really need a 3D printer... I make all of my things for my projects the hard way.. smh .. fabbro education..lol

[@joshmlp]

nice to see a robot again. its been a while btw have you ever tried the 3d modeling program rhino? i use it a lot and i think you would love it. Grasshopper is partially fun as well im also a big fan of cura as far as slicers go

[@JMEMantzel]

I do have an old version of rhino... I might have to check it out. I've used Solidworks a lot, but it crashes, and makes bad STL files. I'm attempting to learn FreeCAD but it's so convoluted. I might scrap that. ....still giving it a chance, though.

[@bcstrings1]

Haven’t talked to you in a long time -So glad to see you getting back to robot stuff !!!! - would love to 3b print this also - stl’s ???? I’ll message you!!!

[@ionymous6733]

what module are your gears? Just wondering about the 3d printer's ability.

[@TowMaters]

[@jedics1]

The toy company werent able to reverse engineer your prototype and make computer models themselves yet also asked you to kill yourself to do their jobs for them by the weekend? Does'nt sound like a very competent company.....

[@ChaNnArD-mD]

Someone took it apart and re sold the idea must have been at least 10 years of your life designing it?
