Fun on a Bun! - Bender Car Part 1

[@Kjasi]

14:52 OMG, that's one of the best cameos I've seen in a KZbin video!

[@punishedprops]

Haha! Right?

[@paniago82]

really great to see you having fun on youtube again.

[@punishedprops]

I’m having a blast!

[@flippypixel]

could make the head rotate with the steering might be fun. So happy to see a new project on the channel❤

[@punishedprops]

I will totally make the head into a puppet.

[@wendynordstrom3487]

When you put the head on, it made me chuckle. 😅 I'm looking forward to see the entire process!

[@punishedprops]

The head really sells the look.

[@i.am.adrian]

I love this so much , its already looking so good! Can't wait to see Bender driving around DragonCon!

[@punishedprops]

You better believe we're bringing him to Atlanta!

[@agepbiz]

I love this project so far! Looking forward to new episodes

[@punishedprops]

It’s gonna be a journey!

[@michaeldiaz6570]

I love when a dream build comes together

[@Mitch3D]

Surface modeling in Fusion is really tricky, I'm glad you talked about the difficulty learning it and having to restart multiple times. In the end it looks great and look forward to seeing it painted.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! Learning new stuff can be frustrating, but it’s worth it.

[@Matthew_Lawless]

"Really tricky" is an understatement.

[@bobweiram6321]

Yeah, it's very tough. I use solid modeling with filets and chamfers to simulate an organic shape.

[@IssieAngela]

It's a joy to see you having fun!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you! 😄

[@neonnerd1364]

Next Halloween I'm planning on trick or treating with my kids as bender. I'm going to try my best to print as much as I can to look as close to the show as I can.

[@punishedprops]

That’s gonna be so much fun!

[@danthemakerman]

Really impressive work as always! You guys rock!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@Justrex01]

Loving the project! So much work and so much fun! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@punishedprops]

You’re welcome!

[@nirodha7028]

Love everything about this project

[@RealAndySkibba]

This is going to be an awesome project

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@MstrCpp]

Yeeees! Absolutely agree that THIS is what it's all about! Such an amazing, specific reference!

[@punishedprops]

Right on!

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

Altering that chassis looked scary but you got it! Amazing!

[@punishedprops]

It was a little nerve wracking.

[@sublimationman]

Love it, great work, can't wait to see more.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@maartjevancaspel]

It is turning out fantastic! 👏🏼😍

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@HawkWorley]

Glazing Putty and Acetone. A few thin coats will save you a lot of sanding!

[@punishedprops]

Neat tip!

[@sjmaguirepdx]

So AWESOME!!!!! Also, hi Joel!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@DannyMcHugh]

Oh fantastic! Can't wait to see more of it!

[@punishedprops]

I’m so excited!

[@blizatrex]

It is looking really great. the body looks almost vacuformed. Cardboard Bender looks quite happy in there.

[@punishedprops]

Oh, he's pumped.

[@joshmcdonald9176]

This is rad

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@wowtomrealcool]

Love this! Such a cool thing to bring to life. Nice edit with the projector screen too 😁

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! We had fun with this one.

[@FranktheBlindArtist]

Awesome

[@pluckylump]

Looks fantastic!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@PatDooley50]

this is so impressive!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@Bananaboogiebone]

Brilliant Bill

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@mothmansuperfan7513]

Agreed on the 3D Spacemouse. I use one daily for work (or I would be if I wasn't slacking off and commenting on KZbin)

[@punishedprops]

I really love it!

[@andrewb9590]

“Don’t need the spoiler.” Bite your tongue! How will it go fast? Lol. Seriously, nice work. Especially for something that appears in one scene. 😁 Also, electroswing soundtrack is great!

[@punishedprops]

Gotta reduce the drag coefficient! 😂

[@MatthewBowe]

We all need a closet Joel.

[@punishedprops]

Right??

[@tommysimpson6662]

14:55 a very unexpected cameo Love your channels

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@Shae_Sandybanks]

Amazing

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@anthonyp4209]

He's Back Baby!

[@punishedprops]

Booyah!

[@ReedCBowman]

Having a youtuber in your closet is a whole new level of youtuber influencer privilege.

[@philabot]

Again, looking forward to seeing the finished product. But, I must say “not to bad with cardboard”

[@punishedprops]

Cardboard is so great for quick, cheap prototyping.

[@billbucktube]

Like it‼️

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@techristopher8077]

OH, the ideas you sparked

[@punishedprops]

Excellent!

[@WillLaPuerta]

When I was a kid I made a Dalek out of a radio controlled car, a trashcan, LEDs, and other random junk. Using a 3d printer wasn't even a whiff of a dream for me back then...

[@punishedprops]

That's awesome!

[@timothykruse3362]

Man, I appreciate you and how methodical and accurate you are... inspiring my man!!! King of Sanding!!! LOL

[@punishedprops]

There will be a lot of sanding.

[@VayaconChupacabra]

3DCONNECION makes fantastic 3D mice. I've got the Space Mouse Pro and it is an absolute must in modeling work. Going on 8 years now. What would I do without it?!

[@punishedprops]

It's a really fantastic device!

[@Rainiiru]

missed opportunity to have a frunk (front trunk) for all of benders stolen goods!

[@punishedprops]

That’s a pretty clever idea!

[@gokalpcetin2769]

If you were going to cut the car in half to fit the scale wouldn't it be easier to go with 1/10 scale and widen the car instead of getting right width and shortening the length ? Great project, very excited to see how it will turn out :D

[@Alabastor_Twob]

15:50 It looks like the alignment holes might have covered over with the brim that you added (and maybe filled in with support material too?) If it's a bother it might be worth checking in the slicer if there's a setting for that - I know in Cura at least there's a checkbox called "Brim Only on Outside"

[@punishedprops]

Awesome tip, thanks for sharing!

[@jonathan__g]

Will you be doing the seats/steering wheel too? This turned out so good I can't wait to see how it goes.

[@punishedprops]

No room for that with a Bender head in the way.

[@aaronpmcbride]

Fantastic!! Can’t wait for the next instalment. Will the 3D files be made available?

[@punishedprops]

I doubt anyone else will want to make this, but if anyone reaches out, then I would be happy to share.

[@alfgundersen1058]

Yes yes yes 😂😂😂😂😂😂super cool 😅👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@punishedprops]

Woohoo!

[@larryu3727]

Bill, what is that screwdriver that you used to put in the screws to the grey bracket that you printed? I kept backing up to try and see if I could find out what it was. Keep up the good work on Bender!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! That's Giaco Whatever's Kinetic Driver I got when he had a kickstarter: placedatoms.com/en-us/products/kinetic-driver

[@Cullens_Workshop]

the import question, will this be competing in the tea cup race at dragon con?

[@punishedprops]

Maaaaybe?

[@jmorv8866]

Look'n good! Do you plan to animate Bender (turns head, moves eyes)?

[@punishedprops]

I sure do.

[@Wes12940]

next the Bender Pharaoh Pyramid with the flamethrowers in the eyeballs?

[@Wes12940]

*asked with a straight face

[@punishedprops]

Haha! I love it.

[@deerel]

1:21 Hey! Spoiler alert, please!

[@chrisgalloway4900]

You could also get magnetic body posts for it if you don't want to worry about screwing it on and off everytime

[@punishedprops]

That's a pretty good idea!

[@svenhohne2697]

Hey Bill, good to see you again, it's been a while. Maybe one Idea concerning the reinforcement of the seams of the 3D-printed parts on the body: what about glassing over from the inside, just a small strip of about an inch or 1.5 wide? We did this very sucessfully on the prototype shop at BMW on some 3DP-Parts we had to produce in sections and bond together. BR, Sven.

[@punishedprops]

I was considering that. I’m not sure it’s necessary, but I can do that at any time after it’s constructed.

[@cowboy124aa3]

Hey Bill great work! Also just curious what 3d scanner did you use to get your model?

[@punishedprops]

Thanks! I used PolyCam.

[@RobertWardJones]

Great Idea. However instead of cutting the car in half and rejoining the halves why not just trace the profile of the back, trim off the back, then machine the new back end to what you had cut off? Would have saved you a bit of time and you could have use the back end you had cut off as the templet.

[@punishedprops]

That would have worked well too. Didn’t think of it at the time.

[@Wico90YT]

You need John to sign this for you

[@punishedprops]

That would be cool!

[@johnpaulporrelli6208]

So are you dressing up as fry for any cons you go to. That would be epic

[@punishedprops]

That or Scruffy. 😄

[@johnpaulporrelli6208]

As always a great looking build, always inspiring me in my attempts at pieces

[@o.k.productions5202]

Was that circle template arranged in the golden ratio?

[@tobynmanthorpe]

Where did you get that 3DPrinting Nerd? Amazon?

[@punishedprops]

Costco, actually. Had to buy a 6 pack.

[@seekertosecrets]

0:57 That was unexpected! 14:55 Wait, What? What's Joel doing in there?

[@ericosnes9371]

Wow! Any chance you can make it so Benders head can rotate?

[@punishedprops]

I want to make the head fully animatronic.

[@ericosnes9371]

Oh man! That’s gonna be awesome.

[@TheSonofruss]

they do have magnetic body mounts that might help you out later

[@punishedprops]

Ooh neat!

[@user-ur7rb5ln4x]

Random question….. can you make the mask from the phantom of the opera😃

[@ura-bedash.rantan1224]

面白いなぁ☺️❤

[@punishedprops]

Thanks!

[@crash0zero]

I may be getting ahead of the video, but are you going to put a swivel motor under Bender's head, so you can spin it around while driving the car?

[@punishedprops]

Yes! 😄

[@C3DPropShop]

Hey Bill, what are you using to scan your parts? Im wanting to try scanning. I have a Samsung s23 ultra, if that matters.

[@punishedprops]

I use Polycam: poly.cam/

[@umbraelegios4130]

I can almost hear that wicked laugh and hear " Bite my shiny metal ass.". It would be cool if he could actually say quotes from the show.

[@punishedprops]

That's the plan!

[@vampireblackhunter]

What is that tool you are using at 3:52?

[@punishedprops]

That's a circle drawing template. It was a gift, so I have no idea where to find that particular model.

[@buzz.b]

Why was a larger car bought and cut down to size instead of making the smaller one larger?

[@cycoholic]

You will want to change the motor, as that one will be to fast for inside use. I suggest you get one for an RC crawler, and maybe change the gearing.

[@punishedprops]

Ooh, great idea.

[@cycoholic]

@@punishedprops It will help slow the car down, even to walking speed. RC crawlers are a segment of the market where they go for things like accurate scale and going rock crawling.

[@tilek1983]

what kind of bandsaw is that?

[@punishedprops]

A horizontal bandsaw. Mostly used for cutting metal stock to length.

[@rayloftus4066]

Hi bill. I've only just realised after all these years of watching you and Britt that you have the perfect name for what you do; Bill'd uran. ha ha ha

[@cfxJosh]

You want that body much higher. the axels should not be centered with the suspension unloaded!

[@punishedprops]

Right on. I’ll be able to adjust the height once I have the wheels.

[@timothyvolkers5343]

At the 3:15 minutes mark you should have said too the band saw boy wonder.

[@punishedprops]

Holy power tools Batman!

[@niels73]

Spoiler alert! The back fin will be removed

[@smittysbuilds]

i'm 40% printed.

[@punishedprops]

40% PETG! =D

[@kalliste23]

All this talk of AGI and humanoid robots I'm going be sorely disappointed if somebody doesn't start mass producing Bending Robots. As for the Lucy Luibots...

[@punishedprops]

More Benders?? Chaos! 😂

[@poetgriot18]

Honestly thought you were going to make the wearcar.

[@punishedprops]

Haha! I love it.

[@JonMadsen70]

:)

[@Koto-Sama]

Please, add a servo to the head so it can look left and right 🤣

[@AustralianMurderTurtle]

Spoiler warning... this video has one.

[@punishedprops]

Only one and we got rid of it right away. 😂

[@plutoyaldnil4750]

If you want some REAL FUN ( I know cause I have an r.c. car that does this) run linkages to the steering servos to benders head so it will rotate along with front wheels😂😂😂😂

[@punishedprops]

That’s a really great idea!

[@Dashierez]

$300 for that cheap looking RC truck? wth...never in a million years would I ever pay that for that, let alone if I'm ripping it apart. Easier and cheaper to just make a bigger frame for the smaller one to get it to the size you needed - especially since you don't need to care what the inside looks like. You could get a helluva RC f'ing plane or drone for that amount of cash.

[@catbob1966]

*sigh* yay, someone sitting at a computer moving a mouse around. I know y’all are hostages to the content algorithm but nothing will be missed by skipping the design and 3D modeling process.

[@Synth_DIY]

I mean, I found the idea of doing it via surface modelling the most useful bit so 🤷

[@punishedprops]

It was important to me to share some of the struggle, because a lot of people are trying to learn how to 3D model and it can be frustrating.
