The other day i accidently printed a fully functional AND ARMED f16 fighter jet. Sometimes crazy things happen by accident

The detail in this video is crazy. At 7:44 you can see him giving away a copy of his data sheet, and if you skip back to 5:15 you can see him grabbing a copy from the future. I hope I wasn't the only person to notice this, as it is absolutely amazing.

[@TurboSunShine]

Haha, my gf thought nobody would notice 🤣

[@yash1152]

i thought he gave away it as tissue to some pooper in the forest

[@AckzaTV]

Ya this kid has a lot of health and energy. In a few years he'll get tired

[@BitcoinTalkShow]

@@TurboSunShine Noticed! And at this point I'm wondering in what timeline the gf is. What about the rest of the audience? Been watching your channel for some time now (first saw you on Thingiverse way back when) and even left a note to my future self to check back on your channel. You're in the future indeed! Keep on riding that time traveling e-bike of yours! Okay, enough with the time traveling puns... 😅

[@Ernzt8]

A rotating bookshelf... that sounds like an amazing project :)

[@sea7551]

This makes me want to make a bookshelf that’s 4 or 6 shelves that rotate on a big disc on the wall while of course staying upright. sorta like wall-e‘s parts shelf but parallel to the wall

[@Ernzt8]

@@sea7551 That is an interesting way to realize this!

[@Upsetty-spaghetti]

no it doesnt

[@Simon-dp2df]

Every bookshelf can rotate. Just stand on it and it will I promise Unless it's built by me. I may or may not have a bit of an over engineering problem

[@daliasprints9798]

I was going to do a friction coupled ebike but integrating the gear like this is even better. It's not entirely hot removable, but only the dirt cheap printed gear has to remain on the bike. Everything else can be detached and carried for charging & theft avoidance.

[@martenthornberg275]

That's a really nice way of integrating the gear into the wheel

[@jutrbr]

We should measure more things in Giraffes. Great video! 3D-printers getting one step closer to world domination

[@Sylfa]

This sort of reasoning is why some people still cling to imperial measurements you know. 😂

[@martythestines]

9:52 Notice Me Wes!

[@-OBJ]

Giraffes are always a reasonable unit of measurement - if it gets smaller just start comparing it to smaller parts of a giraffe, like just the size of its tongue

[@MrHeHim]

First thought, have the drive gears closer to the motor so they can be around the shaft itself (maybe also add keyway). Second thought, print the drive gear out of natural nylon and maybe also use silicon grease. Third thought, I should print it out and join the fun 😅

[@srboromir452]

I only support two people on patreon. I'm so glad you're one of them with how good these recent videos have been.

[@yeaglaceshorts546]

I’m so exited to see if the printer is possible. This would be revolutionary. Good luck!

[@mrnoname6327]

Cool idea but you would lose the ability to coast along or vary your speed. If you brake to hard, pedal, or go down a hill (possibly up too) your worm gear would lock it up and break.

[@iemozzomei]

I wasn't expecting it to be quite so.. functional lol. Nice work!

[@Vez3D]

Nicely done man. Clever idea on the gear.

[@TurboSunShine]

Thanks :)

[@berathan5569]

Thats the most helical gear ive ever seen!!! Great print as always =D

[@TheBlobik]

"Bookshelves do not rotate" - the amount of hidden knowledge in this one is astounding! :D

[@bowieinc]

For those outside the US, I had AI do the conversion. An average banana is around 7-8 inches tall. An average adult giraffe is 14-18 feet tall. To convert feet to inches, we multiply by 12. So, a 14-foot giraffe would be 14 x 12 = 168 inches tall. Therefore, a 14-foot giraffe would be roughly 168 inches / 7 inches/banana = 24 bananas tall! For an 18-foot giraffe, it would be even taller at around 28-32 bananas tall (depending on the exact height and banana size).

[@critsal490]

thank you this really helped. lol :D

[@fnytnqsladcgqlefzcqxlzlcgj9220]

Woah incredible design, if this was modified to be consumer ready you would have everyone converting their bikes to ebikes

Very elegant way of making the gear ratio, well done!

[@gammagerm3008]

Why are there no E-Bikds or EV's for that matter, powered by bookshelves? Well.. Bookshelves do not rotate. Made my day!

[@nonsequitor]

Outstanding work! How big can PCBWay go because a printed aluminum rim with the drive keys in it would be 👌 bang twin motors on opposing sides of the rim to reduce wear / keep the rim centred under load - as well as boosting power... 😁

[@Joseu124]

@SunShine Engineer here: increasing the helical angle also makes the teeth slide much moer ovewr eachother. the most efficient gears are straight spur gears (more than 99%). the higher the helical angle the less efficient you become until it resambles two screws (efficiency lerss than 30%). whith the high angle and also high module (determines the size of the teeth) you used you probably were much less efficient than a 2 step belt reduction, though obviously funnier looking ;)

[@canepaper967]

very elegant solution to use the rim as a large gear, other youtubers trying to use drone motors on an e-bike failed

[@treeplate512]

8:04 bookshelves are the future of vehicle technology

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

the small gear seems like JLC metal print candidate. it is too small to be trusted to not quickly fatigue (it is making like 10k contacts per minute after all) and break. it is also small enough to not cost a fortune.

[@macrumpton]

Brilliant idea to drive the bike wheel from the rim. I suppose you could double the power easily just by adding a second motor.

Hey there! This video on 3D printing is awesome! It got me thinking about a wild idea: what if we could print objects layer by layer, but from the inside out? Imagine a 3D printer on steroids, with a spinning mold and robotic arms depositing materials. We could create super intricate mechanisms or even build entire structures floor by floor with spray concrete. This "layered construction" approach could be a game-changer for fabrication! #layeredprinting #futureofconstruction

[@jongranada]

5:20 I thought I was about to be told to "Imagine a bus stop"

[@Kxx20]

Every time SunShine is posting a video you can sure someone is in a big panic

[@TheMissingSockz]

Inside facing gear teeth on the wheel is a good idea. Until you get some mud/snow/road grit in the gear at least lol. If you could support the pinion on the other side with another bearing I think you'd get much cleaner data from it, looks like a lot of energy is being wasted deflecting the pinion which is also why it wants to break.

[@lostvisitor]

This type of stuff will change the world.

[@zman1508]

I look forward to trying to make my own. It will make my commute to the train station much nicer!

[@ericmurphy6299]

Can you make one that maxes out at 25kmph/30kmph/35kmph? Happy to pedal start it and then have the engine boost it(have the engine charge&measure your rpm and then spin at a slightly faster rpm). Loving your project!

I accidently printed a 1/12th scale RC WWII tank destroyer (Hetzer)... was loads of fun. Maybe I can shoot at e-bikes with it.

[@X41N3]

That is so awesome, I kinda wanna try it out. Maybe I can use the 3d printers at school to reduce cost.

[@XavierBetoN]

I wrote this idea to Tom Stanton's comments back ago. Glad that someone tried this. Although, as an electrical engineer, however i appreciate your design, I gotta say it's poor choice of motor/controller/battery. And pivot gear (small one on the motor) should be aluminum

[@freedomofmotion]

Could you run two of those motors either side of the wheel for twice as much torque? I assume one motor would run backwards for this to work.

[@pinaz993]

If this video series doesn't end with a panicked "BUT I'M YOUR CREATOR!", I'll be rather disappointed.

[@crackedemerald4930]

those power curves though... me and a friend joke about graphs going back and forth, i never expect it to happen for real

[@TurboSunShine]

those are un-smoothed, the back and forth is probably due to vibration in the entire system

[@mhb41]

Ya know, you figure out a good design for a stepper or even just a regular brushless RC motor id LOVE to print some out ^_^. I'll subscribe so hopefully when you release the final version I can make some too for my random projects I like to do. 😊. The wife will be super happy if I'm finally not spending all our money on parts 😂

[@ghostagent3552]

Can someone tell me what happened to the graphs? Like what's with all the loops

[@qoxyll]

I am curious why you did not constrain the other side of the pinion with a shaft and bearing

[@ThankYouESM]

I've wondered for many years if it is possible to make the rims the magnetic/brushless motor, sort of like a maglev.

[@CamdenBowen]

Sick

[@gameworkerty]

Started playing the song "Home" with no mention of speedruns? I guesd you were going kinda fast.

[@pinecone606]

worm gears can be back driven; the idea that they can't is a common misconception. If you are unable to back drive a worm gear, you are actually just feeling the friction in the system, as worm gears are rather inefficient

[@matipousi8180]

What type of filament are you using?

[@ChatNoirLe]

Although boring, you can just test how much current the motor can withstand without overheating, then with the kv value you have your torque. 1/kv = torque 1/(rad/s/V) = (Nm/A) Doesn't quite apply at high rotor speeds where other things start to become a problem.

[@MacDaddy5]

anyone interested in this project needs to read The Bobiverse by Dennis E Taylor. keep up the progress my guy. it doesn't matter what I'm doing, if I see a new video, I'm watching

[@O0OI152]

I'm going to pcbway to get a 3d print of your 3d printer, then make it print a super long printer, then changing the long one into a bio printer and end world hunger You may take over the world, but remember, don't bite the hand that feeds you.

[@ThankYouESM]

In terms of torque, you might want to check out leverage/lever bikes whereas the pedals are directly connected to the back wheel gear making for far less weight, far less costly, far less maintenance, far safer to ride, far more comfortable to pedal.

[@Sonther]

Use an equal set up on the other side, so u can change motors and go faster. Oh, and make it metal as well! ❤

[@platin2148]

And did you get the same thing also metal printed at least the worm gear?

[@braindedpanda]

so this ebike conversion, 1)are you able to still pedal without breaking the bike system? 2) can pedaling generate power to recharge the batteries?

[@colinmetzger6755]

There's nothing in this that would prevent you from pedaling with the motor going. As for getting regenerative braking, that's going to depend solely on the speed controller, which the one he used isn't likely to support it.

[@markissboi3583]

i bought a spare 12vlt wire feeder for a small mig welder basically what they put inside 12vlt car winches maybe if muck about with some gears it'll push my MBike 10klph cruising speed along the river battery & charger unit will cost me the most . i,d put a victa motor mower engine on but them 160cc r noisey

[@Jai_Lopez]

@9:55 you had me slow the video down so much that now i get to know how you sound like super drunk 😮😅😂

[@Witsenburg]

Interesting. I let the motor bell turn the wheel by friction, just clamp it down from the bike frame onto the wheel. No gears that can break.

[@Exis247]

"The less teeth you have, the more problems your going to run into with vibrations and engagement." Depends on your line of work.

[@Hukkinen]

Hmm.. I need a self-driving bicycle so I can just send the bike on its way and meet later in a new location. Balancing by turning the front wheel..

[@rizalardiansyah4486]

Reading those power charts always confuses me as there are two types of power: electric power (which is the input power) and the mechanical power measured from the shaft. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong but when you show that the power chart would go off the chart, you mean the electrical power, right? Because the mechanical power would be almost zero at low rpm and high torque condition?

[@TurboSunShine]

I showed mechanical power (the blue line is torque, the red is power), but the tests didn't go all the way down to 0 RPM, because i didn't want to burn out the ESC, of which i only had 1
