Awesome work as always! I wanted to ask a question, this is just something that came to mind while watching this video and it's just something I'm very curious about. It's obvious that the 3D printer had a pretty big impact on your modelling process... How much parts (like in percentage) do you think you'll end up designing and printing instead of "scratchbuilding", not just for this build but in the future..? I guess a more general way to put this would be "How comfortable are you with the idea of designing instead of repurposing?" Do you think you'll ever reach a point where you'll prefer to create the whole piece in fusion, and then dedicate some time to assembly and painting? That would also be a great commercial endevour hahaha. Anyway, your art is really something to be proud of, and I was just very curious to know this kind of stuff because I myself would probably have to strike some kind of balance between the great feeling of matching two scratch parts together, but also the convenience of designing something that fits perfectly. Have a great day, and see you next tuesday!

First of all, thanks for your amazing question! I think the 3D printer is an awesome tool but not the ultimate tool, if that makes sense.. I see myself making an 100% printed robot, but just for the fun of it, as a challenge. The greeblies play a great (if no the biggest) part in my creation process. They add randomness to the process, they suggest me shapes and ways to go... The printer on that context is making the whole process easier, since I can quickly design and print a piece, with almost perfect iteraction with the greeblies... I mean, I feel it's the perfect workflow for me right now! I'm being able to work better and faster with the printer. I won't say I'll never abandon greeblies, cause that can always change, but so far, the printer is making the "greeblies method" even better... Thanks again buddy!!

[@jmasonrcingabout273]

Cant wait for the finished ship, its going to look EPIC...

[@LaserGadgets]

Right??

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you so much!

[@toosmalltomb]

right past greebling into purposeful design! the fine detail on the thruster’s my favorite part of this build so far. don’t know why, but the way the ship’s turning out makes me think of the fighters from Babylon 5.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks buddy!

[@earthmanbrick]

Nice work, man. I'm doing a video on how to make Rockets (Ork Rokkits) soon, I also use lids for thrusters. Keep up the good work, man

[@CutTransformGlue]

That's awesome buddy, ill check that.. thanks!

[@filipr8386]

Cut, i think you're more than ready to step up in your next project - making something with organic forms, but still a machine. It would be great to watch

[@CutTransformGlue]

I'll try something organic in the future for sure! Thanks buddy

[@henriquezadoroguoi961]

ai love the wires it added some awesome deep on the turbine

[@petsdinner]

Such style and precision! Fantastic work!

Thank you so much :D

[@danholzer4626]

wow!!! Your Fusion 360 modeling skills are exploding!!! Beautiful!

[@CutTransformGlue]

I'm really loving the software! Thanks buddy

[@kurogiza]

Awesome build! The engines look totally badass. I can tell you had heaps of fun with these 😁

[@CutTransformGlue]

Oh I really did! Thanks buddy

[@YuanMekong]

Fantastic stuff! I love all the detailing.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!!

[@punkbloater]

Those metal rings came from a printer. 😁👍🏻

[@CutTransformGlue]

Hard drive spacers, but they could very much be from printers since I'm always taking them apart haha :D

[@LaserGadgets]

Aaaaaaah, finally! :> Oh and I would avoid glueing stuff onto paint.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks buddy! Those will be pressure fitted probably

[@spinafire]

Looks absolutely amazing, great attention to detail and composition on this piece!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks buddy!

[@kano7o]

Unreal as always! Love watching you work!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!

[@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248]

Indeed it is the most beautiful and intricate piece so far. Very impressive my man!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!!

[@graemebrumfitt6668]

Hard drive spacers! Never cesses to amaze me how all the parts come together once primed\undercoated, looking great Dude. GB :)

[@CutTransformGlue]

You got it!!! Thanks buddy :)

[@leighharron]

That was great to watch the inside fill up with the details and then the primer just pulls it all together. Do you find that with experience you find it easier to avoid symmetry and randomise the placement? Also, the metal trims are going to look great against the painted pieces. Great detail, as always 👍

[@CutTransformGlue]

I think symmetry and asymmetry are both important... it's a balance.. too much symmetric can be boring, and the opposite can be too chaotic!

[@AndyMecha]

Just awesome man, the detail is fantastic.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!

[@livanbard]

btw the word you were looking is vernier engine.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks buddy

[@Nosculptor]

Looks great! Sorry if that was discussed before, but can I ask, what is your original profession? Are you an engineer?

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thanks buddy! I'm a visual artist, no engineering background

[@trevorvanzuydam8115]

They are from a Hard drive, disk spacers

[@CutTransformGlue]

Precisely that, thanks buddy!

[@negotiableaffections]

That looks like it was built from an actual kit - you have a superb eye for 'greeblie-isation'. I get people playing "guess what that bit is off" with my creations - and I refuse to use those bendy drinking straws as pipes - SO cliche!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you so much buddy!!

[@GustavEEriksson]

Wonderful build! I really like the clever way you use the 3D-printed parts!

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you :)

[@BrushQuill]

It is coming along really nicely, I cant wait to see it painted :)

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you so much!

[@dimitric6540]

Always love watching your videos 🙂

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!

[@larissamonroe21092]

I am figuring bushings from paper shredders, or bushings spacers from rollers of some sort.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Hard drive spacers is the answer! :D

[@larissamonroe21092]

@@CutTransformGlue woo woo...Yeah, like the spindle middle portion you used for the internal portion of the engine. That metal part as well....that is what I thought...woo woo. ***does a little carlton dance***

[@markfriesen1435]

My guess is bicycle headset spacers. I have carbon ones on mine, but I still have the aluminum ones

[@CutTransformGlue]

Nope, these are hard drives disc spacers! :D

[@whaitjeezus6734]

Hi there. Just a suggestions. I'd love to see some smaller moving nozzle thrusters embedded on the extremities that the ship would use to turn and rotate itself in space. the main thruster is great for forward propulsion but those smaller ones would be what allows it to change direction.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Yeah I totally agree! These will come in the detailing phase :D

[@scifimodelsandstuff3211]

Amazing.

[@CutTransformGlue]

Thank you!!

[@forgotn42]

Were they rollers in a printer/fax/scanner?

[@CutTransformGlue]

No, close, but those are hard drive disc spacers!

[@henriquezadoroguoi961]

nossa n faco ideia de onde ce tirou os aros de metal kkkkkk, foi das impressoras? n parece algo do cotidiano

[@CutTransformGlue]

São espaçadores dos discos de um HD mano!

[@henriquezadoroguoi961]

those green stuffs are bottle caps?

[@toosmalltomb]

like the inside of a flip top opening I think. the kind on propel bottles

[@CutTransformGlue]

These are hard drive disc spacers!

[@justonsvoid]

Great Job so far! I will say that the look of all the thrusters all ‘pointing’ in the same direction is a bit overpowering... i mean its already in space you don’t need a lot of thrust to stay in orbit (so maybe tilt the outside ring of nozzles 5-10 degrees from center-out and maybe make the middle one larger...) that being said you could add smaller thrusters some where else on the ship for fine adjustments. BUT you dont have to listen to me ramble... space is weird

[@CutTransformGlue]

Yeah, I agree! I mean, I'll add more thrusters to other parts of the spaceship in the detailing phase... Small ones, just to maneuver the ship around

[@justonsvoid]

The thrusters/engine array looks wicked cool! Great work.

[@punchy001]

WHat does baking soda do? How does that work?

[@CutTransformGlue]

It makes the CA glue to instantly set, and also creates some reinforcement :D

[@beck645]

As always your work is fantastic. I loved your method of making the tiny tip for the glue out of heated q tip shafts. Please tell us how you keep the tip from drying or clogging while you are using it. Surely it doesn’t just sit open and stay liquid. Would love to know this. Many thanks! You are the best!

[@tydra74]

how much tolerance do you set when you design a fusion 360 piece to snap into a existing piece ????

[@CutTransformGlue]

around .3 mm for a good fit! But i've been having a lot of elephant's foot going on so, I sometimes have to do some cleaning in the base of the piece
