Build Your Imagination with POLYPANELS!

[@make.anything]

Yess, I'm honored to have my Polypanels embiggened by the power of Joel! I'm honestly surprised they still snapped together at that scale... Time to build a house? 🤪

[@danwhite3209]

I grew up with the Model '8' construction toy in the 1980's,and I loved it. It's good to see it re-imagined and re-worked for 3D printers today.

[@MakersMuse]

I really want to see a polypanel chair or stool! Pls pls

[@TheSecurity16]

YES ONE THAT TAKES A FULL JOEL!

[@MatthewSchoepf]

That would really be awesome

after the fail with the wife i dont know if its a good idea ahhahhahah!

[@xSungamerx]

190h30m total print time if the last 2 squares also took 8h10m to print. List of prints: - 14 triangles at 135 min (2h15m) each - 18 triangles at 285 min (4h45m) each - 09 squares at 490 min (8h10m) each Edit: Forgot to count the last 2 triangles that took 4h45m so only got to 16 at first, so change my estimate from 181h to 190h30m.

[@JeskaDax]

In total print hours, I agree... However, considering that some of the printing is done in parallel instead of it all being done consecutively, the total real time would be whichever machine took the absolute longest of total print time, yes?

[@unsaltedskies]

I also agree. However, if we consider these were printed on Pluto they would have taken all of around 40 days.

[@ronwatkins5775]

Joel, i really appreciate all the overkill you bring to 3D printing, it always brings a smile to my face.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Aww thank you!

[@JeskaDax]

Please tell David the partial phrase, "I randomly uponed..." is now added to the library of my personal everyday vernacular usage! ... Because it's awesome.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Right? SO GOOD. He just said it, and it'll now live forever!

[@Utmoon]

Those are giant Zaks (Ziegler's Animated Konstruction System). I had them as a kid. They were manufactured in the 1980s to 1990s. Awesome toys.

[@0R3L1C0]

Utmoon that’s awesome, I thought I had seen them before. Devin’s is a remix. Ziegler’s had specific parts that you could utilize with LEGO.

I love the idea of the polypanels from Devin. Nice to see everyone creates their own things using them 😄

[@buildersmark]

Great video. Love the coffee shirt too.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Thanks, man!

[@xSungamerx]

The reason the triangles are easier to pull off is maybe because triangles are a more rigid and the won't "give" as much as the squares. So with the squares you have to first deform the squares until they lock out and then you can pull them apart, that doesn't happen with the triangles. Well, that's my theory at least. Would be cool if you tested it. Edit: Grammar

Best advertisement ever.

[@stanrock0]

maybe in a future episode ill stand on things .iv never laughed so hard thanks

[@Lamplighterone]

HAHA Awesome. What a fun time. I'm gonna have make some PETG ones. Loved the Fun and Clever sponsor time :) High Five.

[@truetech4158]

It's a very groovy concept. This is how we can modify our species. Should a vertabrae become less than ideal, we will just click it from its sockets and add a new one that's maybe custom even, such as to add extra shoulder pivot points for their spider like new multiples of arms and legs. As humans of the 2.0 and 3.0 generations, much much more productive as biologically reappropriated line workers for after we all end up voting for A.I one day, maybe even next week?

[@paulandrulis4672]

A while back I was testing some Stronghero3D PETG (dk gray). Strongy, stringy, STRINGY stuff, but I have never seen parts so strong. Made a 20mm test cube with 5 perimeters and 25% infill, 5 layers top n bottom. I then stood on the cube, balancing my weight on the plastic. I wanted dynamic loading, not static, to test real world strength. My 220lbs on a 20mmX20mm surface (a little over .5 square inches surface area), equates to around 300+PSI. THAT THING DID NOT GIVE AT ALL! No warping, cracking, layer separation, nor even deflection. I was shocked. You mentioned Stronghero3d PLA and wanting to stand on stuff, which brought that to remembrance.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

HOLY COW. Thank you for letting me know, that is epic!

[@paulandrulis4672]

@@3DPrintingNerd If you get some, I can only speak for the dk gray, but it is not an easy to print with material. At that strength I had to print at 255C, with a 70c hotbed, glass/w/Aquanet extra super hold (holds this stuff to the bed like epoxy), and ungodly retraction just to keep strings to a minimum yet maintain awesome layer adhesion. Still have issues with large prints, as I still have the cheap factory single gear extruder on my machine. After about 6hrs, it will grind into the filament with this stuff and stop printing, even though the hotend is not clogged when it happens.

[@jasonr6750]

It’s funny. This is the 3rd KZbin video that I’ve seen these things on and they are the same thing my 14year old use to have when he was 3 years old. Not down playing them as its still a great idea for fun little projects but one of the videos I watched was like they were the most innovative thing in the world and they are from a very old concept in children’s toys.

[@Certawin]

Cool beans. I saw make anything when he showed off the poly panels. And now you headed to poly panel McPrinted. And ordered the supersize polyies. Hears a shambling and growling as Shawn zombie comes in and takes up his camera. And whispers brains brainzzzz. As he stares at Joel head...

[@erkdoc5]

You almost have enough of those big ones for your kids to make a little fort.

[@phizicks]

Oh that just gave me an idea for a kids playhouse (single level of course, not strong for any weight), or ground level maze or something.

[@Bartvdo]

Joel's new channel "full Joel" where Joel stands on random stuff to see if it breaks. It features a fanmail friday, where viewers send in stuff for Joel to stand on and clickbait episodes like "full Joel on a sidewalk: will it crack?"

I don't remember what they were called, but I had some commercially available when I was a kid in the late 80s early 90s.

[@xraptor10]

Zaks

[@Mavrik9000]

These poly-panels are the same shapes as the Zaks toys, but the connectors are a little different. Zaks are out of production.

[@rpavlik1]

Yeah, also pretty similar to "waffle blocks" but with pivots in the joints

[@tiagotiagot]

Maybe just this specific design of the snapping mechanism?

[@thegeniusman8757]

After I finish my upgrades on my printer I will make a bunch of these. I think I will give these to my cousins. I think they’ll like these.

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Aww thank you! I think a kit would be super interesting!!!

[@LiquiDirt3D]

@@3DPrintingNerd What if we take it to the extreme you have a great idea with removing the inside making it into rails this means if done right we could design it so that each side of the triangle could be connected together making several shapes not just printing a triangle or square, but if printed in rails that connect together all shapes with a straight line could be made, connecting curves could be really cool as well.

I have to wonder what you do with huge prints like this once you have made a video. Although interesting to watch I can't help think of the enormous volume of plastic objects you are making. With PLA not easily recycled and also not as "biodegradable" as we are generally lead to believe. Where do they end up?
