The Titanfall/Halo Sci-fi aesthetic that comes with your projects are honestly super cool. thanks for making such captivating videos on such brilliant executions of otherwise simple objects!

[@batchresearchlab]

Thanks! We love the vibe too (admittedly inspired originally from older anime and sci-fi, but we also love Halo/Titanfall/Cyberpunk/etc!) of all these "hard sci-fi" aesthetics. Alien, Gundam, Ghost in the Shell, Robotech, Metal Gear, Wipeout, etc were all big visual influencers for us growing up. We're into some other things as well so the aesthetics may be something we experiment with over time, but we'll always have some drive to play in this look here and there.

It's so rad that you incorporate user feedback and evolve your designs, rather than 'interpreting' comment feedback as criticism and becoming defensively hostile. Keep up the stellar work dudes! Also: I think adding the self-adhesive silicon to the main body base (countersunk slightly) could increase vertical surface 'cling'.

[@lukesdrone4511]

As a professional mechanical designer of 15 years - you're killing it. Excellent work! Design is iterative, and learning from others is essential. Your community is proving very helpful (as you'd hope), and I learned some very interesting things about magnets today! I'll be following, and hopefully printing a pod in the near future.

[@pibblesnbits]

So what is the utility of a pod like this?

[@IronKeroro]

an easy comparative friction test is to gradualy incline the surface and see what slips first.

[@crackedemerald4930]

it's actually really easy to get the precise coefficient of friction like this if you have a way to precisely measure the angle. I forget how though, i think the CoF is literally just the rise over run though, or something very straightforward like that. Look it up if you try

[@ZakKarimjee]

​@@crackedemerald4930I think it's just the tangent of the angle - which is basically rise over run as you said

[@Herbit-k4j]

There's these permanent magnets that can turn off just by rotating them so they cancel out. That would be so cool if one of your magnet pods could do that. Also try gecko tape, that tape that acts like gecko feet.

[@taypac1775]

Completely new to this stuff but you’ve sparked my interest! Love the process and explanation. New sub!

[@bragapedro]

Another that may increase the magnet strength is adding a ferromagnetic backplate to the magnets. I don't know enough about magnetics to recommend any specific details, but a small stainless steel sheet might be a good start.

[@bragapedro]

That is actually part of the reason hard drive magnets seem so strong. The magnets in them aren't usually even that large, but they have a steel backing that helps direct the magnetic fields to a sigle side. Removing that has a noticeable effect in strength.

[@jblesser]

Fascinating

[@firstNamelastName-ho6lv]

Stainless steel is not ferromagnetic...

[@bragapedro]

@@firstNamelastName-ho6lv Some varieties can be, I think, but yeah, my bad.

[@firstNamelastName-ho6lv]

@@bragapedro Yeah they can be if there's a manufacturing defect or improper heat treatment. But even then it's only slight. Other types of steel (like mild steel) are very magnetic.

Amazing updates. Your designed makes me saving money for a laser so I can experiment with it. I love the design of the pod.❤

[@batchresearchlab]

We love the intersection of all these fabrication technologies that are becoming attainable for the average person. It's kind of like the old adage "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". Once you starting mixing in a few other tools and skillsets things get really interesting and the number of variables for solutions and creativity change exponentially. Looking forward to see what you come up with when you expand your workshop!!! Thanks for hanging out with us.

[@greentokyo]

So cool! Please make more sci-fi props like this!

[@DrakeTain]

Hey dude, I was one of the people asking for the larger pod, and I gotta say that I think I missed the mark. I viewed them initially as just really cool containers that happened to stick to walls, these are very clearly pods that stick to walls but also look really cool. I'm a huge fan and I'll definitely be picking these up.

[@WonDong]

Great job. I’ve been thinking like this for multiple drones to transport object by docking on top. (Although this application requires dynamic detach and lightweight)

[@EastBayRich]

A great example of the "Learn by doing" instilled in us!

[@sevilnatas]

What is the purpose of this? Just tuning in and am a bit confused.

[@batchresearchlab]

Hi, and welcome! You might want to watch our previous videos to get a better idea. It's just a fun aesthetic for a storage container and a cool way for us to continue learning as we explore product design and manufacturing technologies! We are big ol' geeks so sometimes it's hard to resist working pop-culture references or vibes into some of our projects! Thanks for checking us out :-)

[@erickhuntsman240]

great video and clear explanation of how things worked. thanks for the brain food friend

[@Derjyn]

That is an awesome (and important!) upgrade to the pod. Great work incorporating the wisdom from the community!

[@StayProteus]

Look into “rescue tape” “silicone repair tape” etc, it’s easily available at auto parts stores and most Walmart and Lowe’s etc and it’s basically just a type of silicone tape that only adheres to itself and leaves no residue but it’s sort of sticky in a weird way and would probably give you a even better grip and it’s super thin so you could cover the entire foot and also then cut patterns on the silicone itself like a grid or something that would increase the grip even more like a pattern in the print behind the tape to increase pressure in specific areas of the tape to increase the contract force in those areas thus overall grip force/slip resistance. The only glue that I found that would stick to that tape was silicone glue and caulk (E6000 sorta worked IIRC but not great, I think it has some silicone properties but isn’t exactly the same) but I only tried a handful and obviously you could probably just find out what would work with a quick google search

[@xile6]

I may just have to make one of these looks pretty cool. Saw the first model but the updates to hold more weight seems nice.

Exactly my thoughts - so cool, somehow. But can I climb the Burj Khalifa with it ?

[@QXZ9027MKII]

Top notch indeed, nothing can beat trial & error🤙🏼🤙🏼👌 Any insight on the software used for the 3d designs.

[@batchresearchlab]

Shapr3D was used for this project (if that's what you're asking). No particular reason other than it's what I started learning on; for some reason it felt a lot more intuitive than Dimension (even though I've personally been a long-time Adobe user). Shapr3D is also great at giving a beginner some guardrails to ensure that what they model is actually physically possible to output (such as with a additive/3D process or subtractive/CNC) Other people on our team also use Fusion 360, as well as Gravity Sketch (especially for physically larger projects).

[@Reza1984_]

Wow, great work! Is there a specific use case for this, or is it more of a niche application?

[@batchresearchlab]

Hey there. Thanks for checking it out! Nah, there really isn't a super specific use case. We were definitely inspired by some old pop culture references we love and we're also learning a lot as we explore product design/aesthetics/vertical markets, etc. This was a bit of a mashup of things. Mecha/anime/scifi/gaming aesthetic, playing with magnets (because they are fun!), engineering some moving parts that can be applied in interesting or useful ways, and some type of usefulness to what might otherwise just be another widget or desk dweller. It's a bit of an "in world" type of prop, but that you can stash some small stuff in... Paper clips, craft supplies, Gundam parts, vitamins (ahem), etc. We also hope that these types of videos we've been trying out show enough of our process and practical application of tools, processes, etc is helpful or educational for someone exploring similar stuff. So really, a bit of a fun "insider knowledge" if you love Gundam, Metal Gear, Evangelion, Macross, etc type universes, but also has a function if you've got small bits you want to have in an aesthetically cool container.

[@darthjump]

A practical approach is inevitable when designing a product, but understanding the academic fundamentals can save you from a lot of pain.

[@zdog90210]

An easy way to possibly add grip to the bottom would be clear flex seal spray after you laser engrave it you can 3D print a stencil that would make the clean application of the flex seal spray possible then it dries like a rubber thats pretty grippy

Onwards and upwards!

[@wsafd]

[@ZackCrain]

Cool but what the hell is the end goal/use case for this?

[@TheStigification]

Golden Eye called, they want their proximity mines back

[@B0A2]

Might be worth looking at tpus other than the Bambu lab ams one. But the easiest path forward is probably those adhesive ones you used

[@batchresearchlab]

Yes, there certainly won't be much that will work better than the silicone on other adhesive pads. They just have a much softer shore hardness than regular TPU. Also, if we used a softer TPU, then it wouldn't be compatible with the AMS for integrated printing. Now, if you wanted to experiment with other TPUs for the purity of it all being 3D printed (and dealing with the design changes to incorporate it separately), it's possible something like NinjaTek Chinchilla may work -OK- but likely even then, not as much resistance as real silicone or soft rubber. Thanks for the suggestions and for following along!

[@PCBWay]

That's SOMETHING!

[@motownlucas]

Awesome build, subscribed! As I start my build, I've run into an issue with the lid not fitting on the base. I loaded the lid ring and base meshes into fusion 360 to check the clearances and it seems there is none. When I fit arcs to the mesh sections and dimension them, I get 89.99 mm for both the OD of the base and the ID of the lid ring. I can work around this easily, but best practice would be to design in appropriate tolerances.

[@batchresearchlab]

@motownlucas thank you for letting us know 👍🏼🙏🏼🙇🏽‍♂️. Can you let us know which materials/filaments you were using? We have printed a few dozen of these, albeit most of the most recent all being the Polymaker PLA+ (Grey) for the lid ring and Polymaker PLA Pro (Dark Grey) for the main body; and we were getting a nice snug fit (we were trying to prevent it from rattling). We're thinking we may need to add some notes/recommendations regarding materials use - maybe some size-up/-down percentages for the ring (using the main base as a constant) in slicer setup?🤔

[@motownlucas]

​@@batchresearchlab, no problem! My view is that a properly tuned printer/filament/slicer chain should be able to print very close to nominal design dimensions. My X1C with OrcaSlicer is tuned fairly well, so when I printed the base (BL Charcoal Matte PLA) and lid ring (BL Ash Gray Matte PLA) they came out on-dimension, i.e. line-on-line as designed, and therefore it was a tight press fit, not serviceable as a removable lid. I'm guessing you got lucky with shrinkage rates between the two filaments you were using, in order to get the fit you described. To be robust, the design should incorporate an appropriate tolerance for the desired fit and leave it up to the end user to properly calibrate and tune their printing setup for dimensional accuracy. But that's just my two cents. Keep up the great work!

[@MikiCab1]

Would really like you guys to do a Plumbus build next. That is what everyone is waiting for.

[@batchresearchlab]

Hahaha, I think that one might get us flagged. I have to imagine there are lots of Plumbus replicas out there already! :-)

[@NICK....]

imma start calling shaking things a bit an increase in g-forces too now

[@batchresearchlab]

😄

[@VIJAYzk]

0:44 Frictional force F= coefficient of friction x Normal reaction. Normal reaction is provided by the magnets but we need more coefficient of friction. turns out plastic to metal surface has a low coefficient of friction so need something sticky. a thin layer of silicon must work. I also like learing from trial and error by the way. the above is what came to my mind.

[@fakename287]

Update on the current prod version of the magnet prod: been stuck to my fridge for weeks w/o issues, even with kids running around!

[@paranoidzkitszo]

Use a luggage scale- I got 1 at " a buck or more" store. For ...5$.... an apparatus could be created by 3d print...have 1 end connected to a solid base...the other to some sort of way to pull. Then in the center, with luggage scale somewhere along the line, is where the magnet can be set connecting to other end... using a camera recording the apparatus and luggage scale- apply force, until connection is broken...review footage for measurements. Retest with different variations of pod.

[@SmithOffGrid]

An explanation of what this pod actually does would be helpful. Even on the purchase page on your website there are lots of other details but I wasn’t able to find a description of its purpose. Looks cool though!

[@omarjimenezromero3463]

attached granade, 2 sides wire cable, somekind of "hook" and i think more things this thing can be used if it gets enough grip and strength.

[@randallthomas5207]

I think a hex based pattern for the magnets would be stronger. And would fit seamlessly within the hex fill pattern you are using. I also would have tried using the TPU in three or four layers as the base. It takes a couple of layers to become truly compliant.

[@batchresearchlab]

It's really not about the amount of overall "cushion" in this instance as much as it is about the surface texture of the Bambu AMS TPU. The friction just isn't there to compete, unfortunately.

[@Listener970]

Beautiful

[@NJM1564]

This would be a great if terrifying base for a kitchen timer.

[@batchresearchlab]

I was gonna say making a swappable lid with a digital timer integrated would be sweet, but then I realized what you meant. If the entire top turned to BE the timer... yes... that would be damn cool!

[@DavidWaldrip]

I have no idea what I watched but I am glad I did. But let me see if I understand... I can "print" this and make it but I cannot buy it? Would like to buy but the challenge of making does seem interesting.

[@batchresearchlab]

Correct. Currently we've made the file set available in our store; but we have had quite a few requests for completed units, so we're working through what short production run might look like for us.

[@wall_k]

What about inserting strand of TPU filament in the foot? Or multiples!

[@batchresearchlab]

I think if you had a TPU with a tacky enough surface it could definitely be done. You could also, if designed for slotting in the filament, use just regular rubber or silicone tubing or strands.

[@wall_k]

@batchresearchlab I blast it for a split second with a tiny blow torch and it makes it shiny and grippy! I can't find silicone sheets locally, especially gray and with adhesive backing...

Advice to all my technical friends: The more human you speak, the more people will believe you're a human, and want to listen to what you have to say. We are born to connect to other people. The more robotic you sound, (search "uncanny valley"), the more people are likely to stop listening [and click away from your video]. Ditch the script if you can. If you can't, at least try to read it in a tone like you're talking to a friend. A nice trick is to picture a friend, and put their name at the beginning of every paragraph. Explain it to them. Then edit out their name.

[@batchresearchlab]

[@Cool-Mint]

Great video, I love your design style! Would a kitchen timer on the cover or as a separate design be a step too far?

[@MG-Makes]

Have you tried experimenting with the temperature you print your TPU at? I work with multi-material 3D printing for work, and have found that when making ASA/TPU composites that the temp of the TPU and surrounding materials change its final grip and flex.

[@batchresearchlab]

We'll have to look into that 🤔. Though we should probably also point out (for everyone....because I don't think we actually have yet), that the Bambu AMS TPU is rated at 68D hardness - even harder than the much more common 95A. I suppose that's one of the drawbacks of having a TPU that'll actually go through a current-gen AMS's repeated unroll/roll filament switching process 🤷🏽‍♂️.

[@MG-Makes]

@@batchresearchlab Dang I always wondered how they got it to work with the AMS, makes sense its a harder material. We run TPU/TPE through long bowden tube drive systems and have had great luck with the Ninjatek brand as their 95A has some kind of exterior coating that allows it to be pushed easier. Awesome project, I gotta go watch all your other videos!

[@bwmacallister]

Kinda looks like the remote mine from N64 Goldeneye

[@Scrogan]

Cool and good.

[@GJToken]

As for "slippage" have you considered with the improved magnetic strength, that an alternative could be to incorporate a [_] mm ring of the TPU material printed as either part of the base layer, or as a groove you could sandwich a strand of raw TPU into for grip Although i do like the sicone pad option!

[@batchresearchlab]

Yeah, something on the main body base would probably be the next logical step👍🏼. We started with the feet because we figured that would be the lower-risk area to start an additional modification or add a potential complication/fail point - vs the main body which is at least a 3 hour investment, not to mention the 17 magnets that you can't really get back out if something unfortunate happens. Luckily, just the modification to the feet do a pretty good job, and for people that do want to try something similar with the main body base, the same principles can also be applied. We'll have to try the technique you mention with the groove and the raw TPU strand; though we'll need to try it with TPU of a softer durometer; the AMS TPU and the TPU HF are probably too hard.

[@GJToken]

@ The “lost” magnets never really occurred to me until you mentioned that 🤦🏼‍♂️

My lord how much purge material did you have from printing the feet in that orientation? TPU purge must have been more than what was applied! I guess you can at least ‘reduce’ the purge waste if you print a bunch at once Great video

[@batchresearchlab]

Yeah, it's just as well that method of adding grip-material for this project didn't work for us. It was also our first application of using the AMS TPU that was truly intended to be functional. Happy to report though that it more-or-less really does auto-load and -unload without any issues just like most other AMS-compatible filaments.

[@craftminerCZ]

I don't even know what these pods are for but wouldn't it be smarter to use a different than square grid arrangement for the magnets to have the strongest attractive force? The checkerboard pattern seems to be the best out of the square grid arrangements simply due to the minimization of the magnetic flux that's not utilized, but maybe other grid patterns would minimize it even further? Sorry for the unsolicited advice lol I don't know how magnets work myself either

It was an exploration and design exercise to find out if we could build something from our childhood imaginations.
