Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Blade Runner 2049 Helmet Parts!

Adam's back to replica prop building with some Blade Runner goodness! Adam recently acquired a perfect replica of Sapper Morton's helmet as seen in the opening of Blade Runner 2049. And in pursuit of creating a full costume to go along with that piece, he needs to make an articulating mechanical air hose cage that connects to the helmet. And instead of 3D printing it, he's going to hand machine it from scratch!

I think the greatest gift to us from this pandemic has been Adam's self-filmed one day builds. I never want them to stop. Legit the videos I most look forward to popping up in my feed.

[@tested]

We’re so glad you think so! Thanks for telling us!

[@singulant]

@@tested I whole heartedly agree. It's been brilliant

[@ctdieselnut]

Always good to see how others solve a problem, plus the stuff he builds is awesome. I don't really like sci fi type movies, which is the inspiration for a lot of the stuff he builds, but I watch just to see him recreating stuff from scratch. You will learn things from this guy, he has a pretty eclectic skillset and knowledge base.

[@joelwill6021]

[@Name-vu1kn]

So, was the part Adam made bought, machined, or 3d printed? The helmet looks awesome.

[@TheRenaissanceBuilder]

Such a good laugh, there is nothing better than an offscreen crash with the “im fine” response. Adam you are a gem in many ways! Thank you for being you

[@fasfan]

In "It's A Wonderful Life" when Jimmy Stewart sends his drunk friend home, the actor walked off screen and tripped over something on set and ad libbed, "I'm alright. I'm alright." It was so perfect it was left in.

[@ctdieselnut]

@@fasfan that's funny

[@ryanshorts339]

Adam walking off camera followed by the crashing of falling parts and a distant "Im okay.." is comedy gold

[@rvdm88]

all that was needed to complete it was a sound of a screetching cat as the parts fell down to really put it into the realm of cartoons.

[@kevdeovideo]

Adam, I commissioned the first one from deetz! We collaborated on accurizing the design as much as we could. References were hard to come by! The beauty of this accessory gives me heart palpitations. Great work.

[@donkoehler1102]

That tubing is used for framing in hospital bed traction setup. I work with every day being a orthopaedic nurse for 30 years. We have literal tons of that tubing. Zoll is the company who sold the over head frames.

[@tested]

!

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@tested Called it!

[@Herrcookiekiller]

yeah the aluminium extrusion tubing

[@ReverendTed]

So that's the raw hexagonal aluminum tubing - not the flexi-tube finished product, correct?

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Thought that tubing looked familiar they were part of the traction system when i broke my leg as a child. Unfortunately it doesn't seem Zoll sells those over head frames anymore

[@Phoebus20]

The wipe to Grey scale and sad music when he talks about the 3D print is, as Adam would say, chef's kiss. Kudos to the editor.

[@Desmond17]

I feel like the editing has been extra-cheeky in this video. And i'm here for it !

[@lindsaythegreat]

To be fair, Adam seemed pretty cheeky too, but the techno milling at 13:00 is incredibly quality. Hats off to the editor!

[@mdegraauw112]

The editing on this is absolutely marvelous. I missed this style of editing

[@tested]

This video was edited by our new Tested crew member, Josh Self! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for taking the time to post your kind comment.

that absolute joy on his face when he finished it, really made my day .

[@Billoreillyz]

I've been having a bad week and seeing Adam's face light up playing around with his finished connections gave me the biggest smile, that was seriously contagious.

[@RedstonerD]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@danielvandoorn]

I saw this and the first thing I thought was "You can totally machine this!". My head is still not used to having a 3D printer. The fact that you put the thread on the OUTSIDE lip instead of the inside is freaking brilliant. I watch you make things for these little gems! Thanks, Adam.

[@cwbeas]

Yea the threading on the outside is genius

[@DingleFlop]

It's like making a pin and hole system without the "how do I tolerance this so I can jam the pieces together but they won't pop out..." Problem. I love it!

[@clarkbabin9799]

The way you explained the air tube armor and the way it looks I can see why you chose the pipe you did. The way it connects and moves it reminds me of the old wooden or plastic snake toy. Except for the fact that it doesn't degrade in size like the toy.

[@Occult_Orchid]

I thought of the same toy, first time one of those things had crossed my mind in years but I was fascinated by the mechanical connections in them for some reason when I was a kid.

[@Voirreydirector]

I thought of the mech arms he has already made! I would have made the exterior cosmetic.

[@jonsvednell9135]

I love this and how we get full minutes of Adam playing with the Bild and just the smile on adams face.

[@mr_selfdestrukt]

35:30 My favorite part of this build has to be the sound. I absolutely love it, it reminds me of the sound of clanking armor. So satisfying.

[@jonathanhylander7709]

Been really enjoying Adam slowly turn into Doc Brown over the last few years. I give it another year before he builds a fully operational time machine into a Delorean. Can I please be Marty? I swear I won't break spacetime!

[@ashcla]

Just seeing the assembled parts wiggle and clink around was honestly the coolest thing I've seen this week, if not the past month! I'm glad Adam's obviously as pleased with it as I am 😄

[@stuartculshaw5342]

Yes. When Adam's happy, I'm happy

[@CarboniteDreamer]

i'd love to see him recreate the outfit HE wore for that one scene he did.

[@oaklog93]

I love how organic the movement looked while he was playing with it. plus his childlike glee is always a pleasure. :)

[@sk80soarus]

Adam is a TERRIFIC story teller. Explains why he is so good at weathering too. He tells an object's story with the weathering he applies to it. Love it.

[@MichaelStaghorn]

After listening to "Every Tool's A Hammer" and "What Happens Next?", I said that I'd love to fall asleep listening to him narrate - but I can't, because he's too damn interesting and engaging. Adam, please narrate more books!

[@cyb0rg83]

Thank you very much for just taking the time to film (and then chose to SHOW us!) the like 3-5 mins or so of you just fooling around with and playing with this thing. Flopping it about all crazy and whatnot. 99% satisfying my burning desire to feel and want to do the exact same.

[@waynesmiley2207]

Makes me think of these toy snakes I played with as a child made of plastic that would simulate a snake writhing side to side with a slight movement of your wrist. Impressive build!

[@skatechic6]

The sound it makes when it flexes...SO SATISFYING.

[@HowieDay82]

It's astonishing how satisfying that tube cage is in movement. Fantastic job!

[@hiimzackjones]

The amount of time that Adam just plays with the movement of the cable in this video brings me massive amounts of joy. It's so incredibly apparent that this part not only satisfies the build but feels real. Like the difference between picking up a plastic light saber and a hype realistic one. You just want to hold it all day.

[@mtreat3900]

I agree with the other Mike, the videography and editing on TESTED videos is sublime. This build was EPIC! The pride and excitement you have for the results is well earned and deserved. The way the links move and sound also gave me a Squiddy vibe from The Matrix! Lol. Looking forward to seeing more on this build.

[@zach.0]

I think it's more than sublime. It's reached superlemon level.

[@ChrisEllorris]

I have never been more jealous of Adam Savage than when he said he could machine parts faster out of aluminum than just 3D printing them. That would be a dream

[@kevinlassberg]

The final texturing and weathering is just 💋👌

I'll never forget the time Adam said.. "If there was one thing I could go back and tell my younger self it would be.. USE MORE COOLING FLUID".. And I have added that to my life. And it really helps. Thanks so much Mr. Savage. You are my favorite person on KZbin.

Keep the nerds nerdy, the joy of making and building alive and never stop deliver the pure awesomeness that is Tested 😄

[@Jasmine-gw1uw]

Just ridiculous levels of detail, artists are the spice of this planet

[@madr8b]

Great video Adam. I have to say that when you were playing with the hose cage, it reminded me of the Borg Queen in First Contact where Picard ripped out her spine. Even the sound it makes is similar as well. Love the channel and all the videos. Thanks for keeping me sane in this CRAZY world we live in. Dan

[@nickmiller2590]

The milling machine. The Biggest DREAM piece of machinery I WILL OWN ONE DAY! I miss having one at the shops ive worked at. I miss having a full size lathe but the lil mini lathe my company owns now does wonders to get some simple turnings done with great ease and a fair amount of accuracy! I cant wait to get a full size set of my own! I can only imagine what all i can accomplish with them. LOVE THEM! So jealous Mr Savage! I wish i could get my own.

[@monev44]

So, I have bad news and good news. From the references images you showed us I could see that the side profile of the links arn't supposed to straight rectangles, but chevrons... With the tabs on the pointed side of the chevron. This gives each joint a larger range of motion, and a more flexible tube over all. Good news. The operations you need to do can still be done on the parts you have. So nothing is waisted yet. (Except the finish)

[@BBQNerds]

That clicking aluminum sound is so satisfying. I could listen to that for hours.

[@andybogart2503]

The thing looks amazing, but the sound it makes when it moves is spectacular! Super cool, and I really appreciate your idea of threading only the outside holes - very insightful.

[@ShibyTheLad]

It really reminds me of the sort of clicking that Doc Ock’s arms make, and now it’s the only way I can see the foley department making that noise for the movie.

[@ccarpenter1642]

I hope, I can pull it off for Fedcon this June …

You can resume the print even after a power outage depending on what printer/slicer you are using.

[@sgtpepper1138]

I had that issue today, shortly after I watched this video. Thankfully my CR-10S resumed without much issue. 13hr of a 1 day 6hr print.

[@joshuamartin7756]

Sometimes.

[@Peavey_]

Even on resin printers like the one in his shop??

[@jubjub64]

I feel like one reason they would have 3D printed it would be to prevent all the clicking noises while shooting (don't remember if that was mentioned in the video). Still, very satisfying to listen to.

[@Adman1020]

I thought the exact same thing at the end. The noises it makes are amazing, but there's absolutely no way a director is letting that near his set! Lol

[@harmonic75]

I doubt it will make all that noise with an air hose in it - the hose would keep the parts from flopping back and forth to the limits of their motion and no more clicking.

[@StreetMachine18]
