I Made a Mechanical Sculpture for my Wedding

This video documents the process of designing, engineering, and building this massive moving sculpture. Complete with 104 3D Printed flowers, over 200 gears, and powered by 2 silently driven stepper motors, this project is one of my largest so far.
If you are interested in supporting the creation of more/bigger/better moving art projects, consider joining the Engineezy Patreon: patreon.com/engineezy
Huge thanks to ‪@Objexunlimited‬ for helping me 3D Print all the flowers for this project: objexunlimited...
Shoutout to Redstone Pictures for the unbelievable wedding footage used in this video: www.redstonepic...
Thanks E-Sun filaments for providing me with the filament used in this project (PLA+ Cold White)
If you would like your own craisy daisy moving sculpture (or if you have something, anything, else art/engineering in mind) shoot me an email to [e-mail]. I would love to work with you.

[@SniffyTugBoat]

congratulations!! definitely the coolest and most creative backdrop I've seen at a wedding (I do catering for work). it's been mostly balloon backdrops or fake live walls this year. I'd lose my mind if I saw something like this at a wedding I was working lmao.

[@Engineezy]

Thank you! That was my hopes- wanted to do something different :)

[@nicholasdejoe]

Congratulations! I got married in May and laser engraved 180 coasters starting 5 days before the wedding so I know your pain man. Congrats again

[@Engineezy]

Haha you know all about that deferred stress!

[@mysteriouspikachuman]

That's amazing! Congratulations on your marriage and props to you for replying to every little comment. Your channel has great maker content!

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Cuberoni! Much appreciated :)

[@SergioPolimante]

The front part is beautiful to watch for the girls, and the back for the boys

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

great vid! fun seeing a more "vlog" style video with you and Jess, congrats again!

[@Engineezy]

Thanks for watching brother! And thank you 👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@dylanwalker43wb]

I've got 40 ish days until my wedding, no FDM printer, but a STRONG urge to do something similar for mine now. That was awesome.

[@Engineezy]

You got this! Congrats 🙌

[@DaveMakesStuffBC]

Man, if you put even half as much effort into your marriage as you put into this, you are set for life! I'm looking forward to seeing your one year anniversary project. Better get started on that, hey?

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Dave! I hope so :) I think I’ll start it about a week and a half before, gotta stay living on the edge 😂

[@isstuff]

There is so much teachable stuff in here. How you make more parts and connect them for print ability, colours by using separate parts. The labor cost on doing that. The labor cost in doing all of it all, (and you are experienced in this territory so imagine what the viewer will struggle with. How good it looks in the end. I love your design style of white printing, it is now your brand and a smart way to work. How nothing works on the first go and how to adapt. Congratulations on the wedding and another stunning project.

[@Engineezy]

Thank you! Appreciate it :)

[@kaoutarbouzari5736]

Thanks Michael!

[@michaeldiamond2269]

Hey, I just noticed, your shirt matches the sculpture! Great work!

[@Shayleyle]

You may have done this since, but for painting, you can print some small painter's triangles to hold the wet side without marking while painting the second side.

[@sjenkins91812]

Congratulations on the successful union of both your marriage, and the many gear propelled flowers it took to make that amazing daisy chain sculpture! 🎉

Вот что она сказала!!! Джей, Майкл Скотт гордился бы тобой. Translation: That's what she said!!!!! Jey, Michel Scott would be proud of you !

[@kukulcangod1]

Lol...Something like that happened to me!! I made a cement battery with copper mess and wire in an antique copper cilindrical container, the peculiar formula of compressed piezoelectric materials...It would run out of juice to run the 3 ,2.5 volt crystal blue LEDs as a center for the copper flowers...And it was a gift toy wife for mothers day... Upon demonstration with everyone looking the thing...didn't lite up!!! But I fixed it...And it will live as an example of how close we are to generate free clean perpetual energy one day... Cheers

Thanks for the ongoing support BQ 👊👊

[@vlad_makes_stuff]

First of all I would like to congratulate you and your wife! It was an amazing idea and you executed it perfectly. but second of all I can actually relate to this because I made a giant t rex skeleton for my friends birthday and I only had like 5 days to make a box for it. I really appreciate your work and you should continue posting videos.

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Vlad! Appreciate it!

[@vlad_makes_stuff]

dear@@Engineezy, So I have everything set up on my channel online but I am not sure how to structure my videos, what camera gear to use or even how to write an engagable script! I want to share my projects with the world and leave a mark on this world somehow. What should I do?

[@peraz968]

Congratulations for getting married!! I am now 2 years late. But well, I think now is goot time to ask: Are you still married? Because my apinion is, that marriages are like a time bomb. It is only matter of time, when it is over. Of course I am hoping all the best for everybody!! It is not abaut that I would be mean. It is just a sad fact.. Peoples do not be married very long at these days. And yeah, it is very sad. I am so sorry for everyone, who has got thrue the divorse. Hope all the best for everybody!

Hahah dude I was stressing out as the days went by! Glad to see it all worked out though, nice build! And congrats!

[@Engineezy]

I was definitely stressing as well 😂 thank you!!

[@GM_Mack]

So have all of the shorts and other vids where you show some of the first prototypes of the daisy chain all lead up to this?

[@Engineezy]

Exactly 😀 those were all the ‘Prototypes’ that got me toward the final design

[@jibeingji2656]

Congrats! Also this is dope

Ji the man the myth the legend! Thanks brother 👊👊👊

CONGRATULATIONS I'm made up for ya pal, think I was one of the first subscriber's you had, your channel has grown really quick. I like the vibe you bring to your artistical mechanisms they are the type of things that just make you smile and chuckle. Hope you both have a mint time. From Kenny.

Always appreciate a Kenny Day comment on my videos 👊👊 thanks for watching!

what software are you using for all this design and assembly?

[@Engineezy]

I use Solidworks!

[@henryfang5603]

Amazing! Love your design very much , I also joining the Engineezy Patreon! Do you mind share the files plz ?

[@Engineezy]

Thanks Henry! I dont have files available for this project, maybe in the future!

[@husker91]

15:35 Just go here...

[@NamLeLa]

What was the cost for printing all that?

[@Engineezy]

Objex sponsored the printing of the parts, but it would’ve been about $9 per daisy

[@davidleonardo3219]

How I can buy one like this?

[@hassanbo8200]

I wonder why u always use stepper motors, dc motors are useful too

[@Engineezy]

Mainly because they can be run with silent drivers! Dc motors are much easier to use in a case like this.

[@Sillyvidz282]

My toxic trait is thinking i can do all this one night before the wedding😅

[@DoctorZombo]

"The plan is to have the DAISIES CHAINED together with gears"... Ha

[@Engineezy]

🤭🤭

[@JosephKnisley]

I am building something similar for our classroom for our Dia De Los Muertos display. However, I am curious did you use 1/2 inch mdf of 3/4 and also what kind of motors did you use and do I need some kind of adjuster to adjust the speed.

[@Engineezy]

Joseph sorry for the late reply! Hope you were able to figure it out!

[@maulikpatel9824]

STL AND ELECTRONIC STUFF AVAILABLE FOR DIY ?

[@swayebaybay]

i don’t have any paint patience either so if i can i try to hang my project

[@Engineezy]

That makes sense!

[@SergioPolimante]

Why such complicated motor? Why not just a DC motor with a attached reducer?

[@Engineezy]

So I can run the whole thing with a silent driver and get no gear vibration noises!

[@akshaymarvaniya6227]

Congratulations 🎊 I love your work and I also make this project. Can you share your cad file. Thanks for support.

[@Engineezy]

Thank you! Good luck with your project :)

Should have used a chain to drive the daisies, then it would be a daisy-chain sculpture.
