$65 DIY hobby machine that can become any machine.

How isn’t this way more popular, this could be revolutionary

[@KiLLiE2k]

If it was free and open source it'd be the top model on all of the STL sites

[@greyhoundindustries4386]

@KiLLiE2k dude the amount of work this guy is putting into this project is worth atleast 10 bucks even as it is currently, it's worth investing now

[@Puuuszzku]

@@greyhoundindustries4386Had he made it open source with an option to become a patreon he would’ve made a lot more money. Locking it behind 10 buck paywall makes this project less popular.

[@nakeddrifter4685]

Machines like this have been around for 100 years, very cool regardless!

[@SurelyLightFoot]

@@nakeddrifter4685reminds me of the the shopsmith. I think it’s a table saw, router table/shaper, disc sander, lathe, drill press.

[@vrplaneswalker724]

You are the first person to make me want a 3d printer. This is truly amazing. Criminally underwatched.

[@tygoodystradingpost743]

This Is What The Hobbyists Have Been Waiting For.. Great Inexpensive Build..

[@C_V_u]

Multifunctional machines are cool, this particular one reminds me of the Shopsmith machines.

[@peterlarson233]

I don't really need this, but I think I'm going to build one. The low cost is incredible and it will give me a ton of capabilities that I would otherwise not bother experimenting with.

[@James_mag]

My man, coming through with gold! I'm eager and ready to send you my donation and looking forward to the 3d files. I bought the spindle motor referenced in the last video. Its itching to get to work. Thank you for this offering James!

[@ashprime3701]

OMG the leather working application!! mannn this is fantastic!!

[@redthecalicocatdragon1610]

Found you just now on tiktok, this looks awesome, subscribing

[@sweetgumnyc7794]

thank you!

[@rangognochi]

I remember hearing about how electric motors used to be really expensive so they would do exactly what you’re doing here creating new attachments to turn the one motor into many things. This reminds me a lot of a stand mixer

[@lexxfyre]

The real “Everything Machine” is you my friend. This project is so innovative.

[@korneelvandenberghe9942]

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time, as a software engineer working on many open-source projects, seeing these fairly open source hardware projects make me so excited, if you need help with software stuff (I’m working with embedded systems), let me know! :)

[@danielgebert4556]

“Most people have a 3D printer these days” what a time to be alive. The fact that they are available for the price of a regular paper printer now is awesome. Thanks for sharing this project and how you evolve it and improve it.

[@K_man217]

Damn, this thing is incredible. I have so so many hobbies that would have benefited from me getting into 3d printing, but I’ve been intimidated. This may be the push because I need this machine in my life lol

[@CMDR_Hadion]

If you’re still intimidated by it, I would highly recommend picking up a Bambu Labs printer. I have been printing for over a decade, and there has never been a more competent, usable, reliable, and dead simple to operate machine. Prusa Research’s printers are a close second, but their steadfast commitment to the RepRap community, which I greatly appreciate, is holding them back as a printer manufacturer.

[@themetalfusionologist]

Bro! I’ve been needing something like this and never thought of it. GREAT IDEA!

[@Blaze5x5x5]

Genuinely one of the coolest machines I've seen someone made.

[@crinna]

It's like a mini tabletop Shopsmith.

[@SurelyLightFoot]

That’s the first thing I thought.

[@austintrigloff9562]

[@godsarmyofhammers]

OK Bro, you earned a sub with this one. Its not only great that you have put so much thought and effort into this, its great you are sharing it with others in these times. As a maker, I concentrate efforts into making my own jigs and tools that work with my build process so I appreciate the intelligence in your machine and will put your channel on the makerspace KZbin account for folks to learn from and be inspired by your enthusiasm and cleverness. Best of luck and I hope your channel takes off like an Elon Musk Rocket.

[@thomasland1702]

Found you on TT as well. Came here, subbed and donated. Looking forward to building some of these myself. Thanks for everything you do!

This is absolutely brilliant! So versatile! Good job!!

[@fistofodin1]

Oh an update! Thank you.

[@alexortizypino7287]

dude! this video rules! i can only imagine what a kit that includes the motor and all of these accessories would cost, if it were being sold by a big-name company.

In dollars or lawsuits?

[@victorpricejr]

This is really cool. Looking forward to printing out the parts. Really nice work.

[@houseote]

Thank you so much for making such a versatile tool for a guy that hates collecting tools!!

[@sweetgumnyc7794]

sure thing! This is just getting started! Since making this video its gotten so much better!

[@houseote]

Any chance you also make a DIY arbor press? Coin ring tools? Can you modify the plans to include a larger wet saw? @@sweetgumnyc7794

[@carlost856]

It's also a versatile tool for a guy who loves collecting tools. It can very easily replace my lathe for some jobs.

[@fohnwind5885]

Hey what’s up! I’m a fellow engineering creative. Just finished up on making my own beautiful power hone and coffee grinder (hand grinder conversion to power mount) over the last 5 months and your work on this all in one machine is absolutely awesome. REALLY loving the modular nature of the whole build and I think you’ve made an amazing set of add ons too. I’d love to support the build and likely get into making my own as well (part time business owner in jewelry with tons of creative hobbies) Thanks for sharing your work!

Keep goin man. This is incredible. More people need to see this. Time to start making! Lol

[@justinkeefe3456]

Rad dude, I love it! Definitely interested in an entire parts kit. It’s amazing what you’re doing keep it up brother love the videos.

[@brertt8350]

Sounds like you could do the exact thing with a larger motor for something more robust. 3 phase with a 240-480 vfd for reverse and speed control

[@carlost856]

You can already remove your fingers quite easily with this one.

[@nadslikewolf]

Bro... This is absolutely ingenious. Your ability to see the potential in simplicity is straight epic. Can I buy one off of you? I'm in CT and it looks like your in NYC; I'd absolutely take a drive to pick one up and support your ingenious projects.

[@bobfugazy4916]

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

[@ProAudioIQ]

Genius! Seriously

[@jspliffz]

Amazing work

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

I was thinking you could make it into a glass lathe and then I saw you already did, at least with one chuck. You could use another motor and synchronize them and have the second chuck with a hole through so you could place tube in it and connect a blow hose. I'm a glassblower but I make my own torches and all sorts of stuff. I have some awesome ideas as I'm sure you do so get ahold of me if you're interested

[@aaronacj]

I feel a stepper might be better, great concept. Going to make a stepper version. Sewing machine steppers already come with controllers.

[@Orzorn]

Holy cow, what an awesome project. I've been looking into gemcutting setups and they're all so very expensive for a starter who isn't sure if he'd even continue doing it. However, I've been needing a bench grinder anyway, so having a machine like this that can do it all would be exactly what I want. Even better, I have a 3D printer!

[@TessaOswin]

This is the tool for people who like to acquire lots of hobbies ( or ADHD desire to swap hobbies every three months.) When you swap hobbies you can just swap/print the new part rather than needing wholly new equipment.

[@lohikarhu734]

i wondered if you have cooling vents below the motor? also, did you make the top mount so that it has open space in the middle, to allow airflow around the motor/?

[@Natibe_]

Hmmm. I have a resin printer for miniatures, so im always nervous about applying that to stuff for extruder printers. I may just have to try this anyway though...

[@andrew-i6j]

you could make it out of a stronger filament than pla or petg (more expensive) but the wiring could be hard for some people, you could make a video for that too.

[@FalconPunch22]

Right I’d like to buy one with all attachments and maybe a second one with a larger motor for later get projects and all attachments in that ad well. It would be awesome

That's an excellent build. I'm a new rockhound and have begun to build a lapidary workshop using an old drill press an old wood lathe and some cheap tile saws. It's working well but i love your project. I don't have a 3d printer or even a PC so i have no wish to purchase either. Are you interested in selling the parts as a kit? Lmk. Thank you!

[@JonathonHarris]

Hey, James - is this still an active project? Would love to support the project!

[@LaserNYES]

oh man i can think of so many attachments for this!!.. you should do a resin mixing attachment as welll as a vibratory attachment to remove bubbles from resin and casting investment! email sent!

[@hq0000]

This looks awesome, I did something similar but for sharpening gravers. My concern with this machine from the looks is the concentricity, the attachements in the collet look to not be running true/level. Do you think that stems from the spindle, collets or inserts? because if this could be improved upon it would be an amazing piece of workshop machinery! Well done

[@sweetgumnyc7794]

it actually runs true if your work is centered properly. i think what youre seeing is the table shaking. i have to film on a folding table because i cant get correct camera angel on my bench so the machine shakes because of the table. on a proper bench its much better. that said, its not a super high quality spindle motor but for the price its definitely sufficient. there are better motors but they do come at a much higher price. i saw a video where someone spun the rear fan on a lathe to balance it better and apparently its supposed to significantly improve the motors performance. i havent really needed to but i might try in the future.

[@BrentAllen-g9d]

This has so many different uses. Looking forward to trying it out. Let me know how to make a donation.

[@bassreflex2719]

YOU NEED TO PATENT THIS ASAP 🙏 This is unbelievably awesome this could be the best soon that has been made in the past 15years

[@CMDR_Hadion]

I hate to burst your bubble, but “bench-top motor with many tools” was something our grandfathers, and our great grandfathers had. The only thing revolutionary about it is that now it can be made by anyone, and that is truly something to be celebrated. The power tool industry found out a long time ago that it was much better business to sell you many motors, each with one tool attached, than one motor with separate tools. If you look at old, old bench top tools, you’ll often see a belt pully on the other end of the motor shaft. For accessories that they made, that someone else made, and that you made.

[@corocsat8469]

​@CMDR_Hadion hate to burst your bubble but he can actually... its the first mainly 3d printed multi use bench grinder with multiple uses... I have yet to see a tool with that kinda advertising Tho if he did we would no longer able to do certain things with.. open source has some benefits and downfalls

[@CMDR_Hadion]

@@corocsat8469 take it from a patent holder, just because you re-make a pre-existing item in a new and innovative way via a new manufacturing node doesn’t necessarily make that item patentable. Believe me, been there, done that. The USPTO would almost certainly just see this as a bench top motor with an accessory shaft. He might be able to get this patented under, a Jeweler’s Tool Class, if there is such a class, or perhaps a different tool class with some limited scope. Applying mundane and pre-existing technologies in a unique way to a *new* industry *is* patentable, and it’s how I got my patent. And owning a patent on something does *not* mean you have to close source it, though most do, myself included- though that’s at the behest of my other partners. A patent *protects* your legal right to a monopoly on a new invention for 20 years. What you do with that monopoly is up to you. You can open source your patented design with a non-commercial license, if you feel generous after spending thousands of dollars in the patenting process.

[@MechTechMax]

@@corocsat8469 hate to burst your bubble, but he probably can't. A patentable idea has to be novel and non-obvious. A horizontal mounted motor/shaft is the same as a lathe, the 3d printing aspect is obvious, and attachments for different purposes (jigs) are also not new, so none of those features are patentable. Even if he could patent this, it wouldn't be worth it, patents cost a lot of money, and this is a very easy idea to copy, especially being marketed as cheap alternative, he can't raise prices too much to recoup those costs. Certain jigs might be patentable but any jig that hasn't been patented before probably won't have enough of a market. That being said the designs are copyrighted and he could potentially trademark the name and marketing materials. He also as a big advantage in being the first 3D printed system to market, but look at the various 3D printed organization systems that people have come up with. The big market for this will be selling the STLs, as that'll be the biggest draw for hoobyists with 3D printers, as it's a good cost value, for $10 you'd have to model everything yourself in an hour to break even, not to mention hours of design, printing, prototyping, testing and redesigning that he's done.

[@aaronacj]

@@corocsat8469you patent ideas, processes, novel designs and concepts not materials used for those ideas and concepts. Like car rims have been metal for decades, then people made carbon fiber rims. You can’t patent making carbon fiber rims but you can patent the process if it’s new.
