Insane precision! Your attention to minute detail amazes me! Looking forward to the little robot build.

nice machine to weld

[@ValentinFelder]

Yes, I'm so glad it actually works, I really wasn't very confident about it :D

[@oseba._]

Your work is fantastic! Always happy to see a new update!!

[@MsHellokitty666]

The amount of craftsmanship you developed is absolutely amazing! I've been following your process since the very start, and it's beautiful to see you're still going on. I guess it's because you love the process itself so much, to try out new things every day and improve over and over instead of just "having the goal in mind", which must have felt so far away all these years ago. And with all the improvements made, it's especially cool to see you cherishing the "old" characters so much instead of just thinking "This would have looked better if I was to make it now". Keep the Clockwork running!

[@ValentinFelder]

Thank you so much, it's great that you're still around following the project too :) And we're getting there, only 16% remaining!

I really have to restrain myself from buying any more new tools, which is frustrating because clever people keep coming up with new ones.

Very nice job Valentin !!! What are the dimensions of your aluminum frame?(0:30”)

[@ValentinFelder]

About 120 x 80 x 70cm (LxBxH) - If I would build it again I would make it a bit smaller so it's easier to reach in, and also leave out the top bars of the frame, or at least have them easily removable. They are the number one reason for bumping your head against something and they are getting in the way of the camera constantly too. but over all it's working really well and is very rigid and easy to change wall segments. :)

[@ruzsandoval]

Thank you very much Valentin for the feedback , I was thinking of doing something similar , I will consider your advice , maybe smaller dimensions and thicker profiles to not use the upper ones . You used 4x4cm and 4x8 right ?

[@ValentinFelder]

@@ruzsandoval Exactly. These profiles exist with different wall thicknesses though. I have used the thick-walled kind, they are about 2mm thick aluminum all around and are surprisingly heavy and sturdy.

Can i donate my miniature sewing skills? Let me know if you need costumes, upholstery, curtains, bags, basically anything made if fabric that needs to be functional and miniaturised.

[@ValentinFelder]

Hey, Thanks a lot! - Sadly most of the costumes are already done now, but to be honest we really had some difficulty with it and it didn't turn out optimal. If you have some experience in that regard (especially with cloths which are going to be animated in Stopmotion) feel free to send me an email and some pictures, I'd love to see it and get in touch. :)
