Hey Katie thank you very much for the comment! I’m glad you like it😀

[@Phe_]

This isn’t exactly how Most work but some definitely do, most use ceramic pads(maybe wrong word) and they basically get compressed and vibrate extremely fast, which causes the heat and weld, it’s fascinating and crazy to see in lego.

@@jackroutledge352 I work in rotomolding and we use friction welders to spin weld plastic discs to cover holes in parts, plastic discs with metal inlays can also be spun into small holes to make somewhere for a screw to go, and most recently we actually spinweld drains into the bottom of rain barrels :)

Part of me is unsatisfied that the pieces don't stay perfectly inline during the welding process. The tech you have here is still absolutely mind blowing though. My minifigures want to award you a nobel prize in brick science. Amazing work.

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

Hey thank you so much! I’m honoured lol. I fixed it later by supporting the right side better, it was tricky with the sliding mechanisms 😀

[@Night_Hawk_475]

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines I'd love to see the result after fixing this! The misaligned resulting pieces were unsatisfying to finish with D: Really amazing work though. How do you power this? That can't be a regular lego motor driving the main friction part, can it? That seems like an absolute ton of torque. Edit: I saw some of your other videos, nvm, I assume it's a bunch of motors being geared up and not just one, that's really insane still. Awesome work!

[@barahng]

@@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines Makes one appreciate the difficulty and significance of precision and repeatability in real manufacturing. Not to mention synchronizing all these steps and connected to a single power source so you don't have to actuate the individual modules manually (Was out of frame but it looked like you were actuating different motors each powering an individual component), as with a real automated production line. Well done.

The one thing missing in the setup is pressure you're generating heat enough to bond but if you were able to apply a little pressure pushing the two pieces together they would Bond more fully and create a stronger Bond

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

Hi I am the actuator axle press was pushing against it very lightly. The problem was the lack of torque at the axle and once it got sticky it just stopped. I didn’t let off at all 😀

The ultimate issue is Lego's most appealing quality, high tolerance. Lego has an unbeleivably high amount of give, if you could find a way to stabilize the axel, you might have a legit part maker. BTW: I'm not hating, I just like to give feedback.

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

Hey there, constructive feedback is greatly appreciated thank you! The whole production line thing made it harder to do. Ideally the axle stabiliser needed to come out one more. Also another issue was the base to the right hand side of the build was hard to construct due to the moving axle press. I could definitely improve it now I’ve done it once! Thanks again 😀

As *another* Eric, i second this!

[@ericlotze7724]

Also maybe apply pressure between the two somehow to get "deeper" welds if that makes any sense?

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

Hi Eric the 2nd! I was with the actuator pushing forward at a slow rate 😀 the problem is the torque is so low on the spinning wheel that once it git sticky it just instantly stopped instead of doing a deeper weld. It was more visible on the second attempt, I realised my support underneath was wonky which is why the weld wasn’t level! Grrr😀

what the- all I can recommend here is better axle stabilisers. Maybe even an option to adjust the finishing angle of the parts? That way you could control a really specific angle for some more... fiddly... creations. Personally I'd see if I could replace that red "feed" axle with a metal one so it doesn't warp or twist and gives you better results.

[@GazRsExtremeBrickMachines]

Hey there thank you for the feedback 😀 I found out afterwards the build needed more support on the right hand side which is why the axle was dipping slightly. It was tricky with the moving bits on the right to get good leg supports. I think if I’d put another support on the red axle it also would have helped, I try to keep them all lego too 😀

I’m gonna answer the “how is this possible” question because it’s actually pretty interesting. Legos are made of ABS plastic. The same kind of plastic some car parts are made of. It has a melting temperature somewhere around 200° Celsius. The first gray piece was spinning so incredibly fast against the other piece that it heated it up to melting temp for ABS and after it stopped spinning, it cooled and was bonded
