Probably one of the most impressive things Ive ever seen done with lego.

[@BrickMachines1]

Thank you so much!

[@danriehl4244]

So you've basically just made the frame of a CNC out of (mostly) LEGO. From this, you can flip it upside down and replace the magnet with a motor and drill bit to complete that, or if you mount that whole assembly higher, you can add a platform that moves along the Z-axis to make a 3D printer. I feel like the LEGO would melt if left near a hot end, though...

[@trumpetsrlife9692]

lego corexy printer should be possible

[@BrickMachines1]

Yes, those ideas are on my list! I'm excited about the possibilities this introduced! 😁

[@BrickMachines1]

​@@trumpetsrlife9692I'll have to look that up!

[@impact224488]

​@@BrickMachines1 yes, if you do a corexy setup, I think the whole thing would be possible with pure lego parts. Instead of belts you could use chain links and a A/B motor setup similar to a Voron 3D printer. You wouldn't have to cross the belts this way.

[@Marscandy1]

@@impact224488then you can 3D print legos and make another 3D printer.

[@gravelhs]

This is amazing! I feel like a lil bit less sand would make it even better cuz you can see it's pushing a lot when creating new lines close to the old ones. Having sand level half depth of the ball could make it crispy. Can't wait for lego nuclear reactor

[@BrickMachines1]

Thanks so much! Great suggestion!

The LED's really set it off. They way they interact with the peaks and valleys of the sand creating highlights and shadows is really pretty.

[@Jdjdbnf.doodle3.0]

This is the perfect blend of Lego ASMR and Lego machines. Couldn't have a better video to relax to.

[@JohnAlbertRigali]

This is the most elaborate and mechanically complex LEGO build that I've seen so far, and it's absolutely epic.

[@Delus1on_L]

WHOA This is insane. Definitely will need to check out the metal parts! Will also petition for a 24/7 stream of this with relaxing audio 😂 Also also, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, mb dude. Builds are as cool as before tho! Nice job!

[@SuicideNeil]

Kids and adults these days don't know how lucky they are to have such an amazing technic lego ecosystem, especially the aftermarket support. I'd have given anything for some of the parts and resources available today, makes me wish I was ten years old again...

[@BrickMachines1]

I am so grateful for all the support! It truly is amazing. Maybe you want to get back into building with some of those aftermarket parts! It's super fun!

[@tlank7933]

Even though kids have access to this, i rarely ever hear about a kid actually playing with these kinds of stuff. Although I agree with you, I wish we had these things back in the days.

[@GippyHappy]

I'm really addicted to these videos. If you made some of just the sand I'd watch them over and over too.

[@mubujiller2734]

this is one of the coolest lego builds I've seen! great work!

[@BrickMachines1]

[@petetheweet]

How fitting that the first thing you drew in the sand was an hour glass.

[@Byte_Youtube]

[@BrickMachines1]

Thank you so much! Love to have you watching videos on the channel!

[@johnm8224]

[@Sypaka]

This is basically the principle of an Etch-a-sketch. With extra steps and inverted. Cool to see nonetheless.

[@meepk633]

Very cool. Also: black sand on some kind of diffused light base. It might be harder to get one thin enough for the magnet to work well, but it would probably look really cool.

[@Deathstroyer326]

Your videos just keep getting cooler and cooler! I can’t wait to see what you make next!

[@BrickMachines1]

Thanks so much! Can't wait to show you the next one!

Despite how big Brick Machines channel is, he always seems to reply to almost all of his comments.

[@Sarafimm2]

Could see this set up in an unused space or closet and either projected onto a screen or mirrored so it looks like a moving picture. Just watching something like this as a continual LIVE video would be awesome for those of us who have their televisions hooked up to their monitors.

[@NachtvogelHH]

Truly fascinating! Have you thought of adding some kind of shaking/vibrating attachment to the sand pit which could provide an easy and fast "wipe/flat out"/"reset" mechanism for the sand area?

[@baratapai]

shout out to my boy youtube algorithm for show me this master piece

[@bartliff]

[@BrickMachines1]

Thank you so much! ☺️ I'm really glad such an awesome builder like yourself enjoyed it!

[@bladactania]

I have watched a few of your videos and am fascinated by the things you build with Lego! The moving ones are always more impressive, especially the ones with moving balls. But this one here has everything. Do you ever reveal the actual time spent building? Do you share your design thoughts and processes? Although I realize that you get sponsors donating parts etc. How much do you think it would cost to make, say, this sand drawing machine, or maybe something a little simpler?

[@HellbladesFFXI]

Am I the only one reminded of classic screen savers back in the day and how oddly satisfying it was to watch them draw themselves? Fantastic fun though. =3

At first minutes the construction with aluminium parts looked loke it's a part of a 3D printer) Maybe you should try to do smth like that in future)

[@What-the-Fox-YT]

This is soooo cool! Also you could use the movement mechanism in this project to make a cnc machine and that would be insane Great video keep it up!👍

[@JigmeDatse]

The one thing I'm curious about is how the metal parts and the plastic parts interact. I have seen cases where metal parts end up destroying plastic parts. Doesn't make much difference if it's just something short lived like I suspect this is. But if you set this up to continuously run, it could end up failing faster than you expect.

Thats one of the infinite possibilities of Lego. Keep working :)

I could tell that it looked like you were making a giant automated Etch a sketch. I think the lights are a great touch. I seams to still be a little too much sand. I was wondering why you were using the snap together screw drive pieces after you came up with full lenth screw drives. Great project and kudos on cable management.
