Making the Human Bop It Extreme

Have you ever wondered what it takes to make a Human Bop It? Probably not, but it's more interesting than you might think! Check out my whole process, from dissecting the original toy to 3D printing 250% scale versions of each part to be attached to all of my limbs. I'm a human bop it!

1999: I bet we will have flying cars in the future 2017:

[@callsign_lurk]

Ringkun Mori human bopit

[@timmontanus4311]

Shut up

[@ithoughtitwasgrapejuice9084]

Ikr like this is way, way FING BETTER THAN PEOPLE THOUGHT!!!

[@lordofthemehmehs]

1999 was selling bop it extremes

[@FunkSkunkOfficial]

Even better

[@Zeldur]

Ok, your reasoning on making the costume makes sense.

[@Karen-zt1sz]

This is the quality content I came for

[@pascati9936]

Yes. This is the kind of quality content the Internet needs more of.

[@bruhmomentum5064]

That thumbnail made me laugh so hard! Well done sir!

[@jessyeah8091]

Sean Smithy animorphs right

[@zacozacoify]

Random occasional glitches are a very Bopit thing, nice attention to detail!

[@WaltonPete]

Possibly one of the campest Halloween outfits I've seen! I love the way you repurposed original parts and combined them with your own creations. I wondered how a Bop-it toy worked - I assumed it would be quite cheaply done but very clever engineering to get all the different actions to ultimately just press a button for the microcontroller to register. I think your version of Bop-it is actually better than the original - extremely creative!

[@3DPrintingNerd]

You're going to be at the meet-up with that costume??? NO EFFING WAY. I cannot wait!

[@make.anything]

+3D Printing Nerd 😁😁😁 see you there dude!

[@shanestraub2111]

Wow two of my favorite KZbinrs are in the same chat

[@ImaginationToForm]

They going to pull his leg at this meet-up

[@seppemanderick497]

Oh my goddd ur here too

[@Omakes]

Make Anything // 3D Printing Channel Devin or Joel someone must live stream this playing bop it

[@Yeetyn]

Why does your hot glue gun look like it was found in the titanic wreckage

[@make.anything]

+K_the_cool it's seen some things

[@RumerPriestly]

I am still absolutely amazed by this costume, Devin! I cannot believe it functions, everyone is gonna want to play you, haha.

[@lucassurgeon4122]

That thumbnail looks like animorphs book cover 😂 And what the hell did you do to your hot glue gun?!

[@tiesvandenberg4751]

Lucas Surgeon i tought that too😂😂

[@make.anything]

I think that glue gun is older than I am :P

[@anthony7718]

It’s not easy to keep a 25 minute youtube video interesting... but you did it. Keep it up!

[@orlrogc]

Awesome work, Devin. I love watching your project videos. Here's a protip I discovered: when a design calls for rubber bands, use silicone cooking bands. They are way more durable and save the frustration of having to replace regular rubber bands when (not if) they break.

[@make.anything]

+orlrogc good tip, thanks!

[@KimboCo]

I showed this to one of my clingy friends and now he has the thumbnail of your video as a background

[@muselikesminecraft]

The plastic fumes have finally reached his brain guys. This might be one of his last videos, before he goes absolutely insane.

[@AmusementLabs]

Human bop-it today... Tomorrow: HUMAN GTA5

[@SlenderverseTrash]

Lol

[@AdeonWriter]

Congradulations you are the nerdiest dude on the internet. Please wear it with pride

[@dakka3495]

New intro looking more animated!

[@JacobCarrAllen]

Small tip regarding hot glue: Store bought isopropyl alcohol will dissolve the bond from the glue and make removal a breeze. Give it a try sometime.

[@make.anything]

+Jacob Carr Allen great tip!

[@lanabravo4405]

I could get sleep but instead I'm watching how someone made themselves into a human bop-it

[@bakie692]

Watching you play bop it on yourself has really cheered up my day. You're insane, my man, but congrats on the finished job

[@AdityaMehendale]

A drop of ethanol or IPA makes hot-glue brittle and very easy to break apart! (in case a rubber-band snaps again ;)

[@make.anything]

+Aditya Mehendale cool, I had no idea. Thanks!

[@bexe2000]

Wow, great costume. Also, I'm very proud of how the intensity of your projects is developing!

[@haakonbledsoe]

"IMA boPiT"

[@dogfightdixon4415]

Why did this make me laugh so hard. xD

[@marjoleinvandermeulen9335]

Devon i am crying so hard right now, this is beautiful

[@garthhowe297]

Wow... an unbelievable amount of design work went into this. This seems like it would have been months worth of work. Another innovative, and well done project. Bravo!

[@slugboot]

*in a mocking yet sarcastic tone* Nice velcro strap... Who made it? Your mom?

[@whoooisv]

SlugBoot 😂

[@fundip_wuzhere7377]

Remember kids, if something doesn't work right, burn it.

[@TheDerpyDeed]

now I know the secret to becoming a great 3D artist - the journey toward becoming a bop-it is the key.

[@sloth-guy]

Dude this is the most amazing 3D-print anyone ever made!!!

[@afmmicroscopy3690]

I had never heard of “Bop It” before this, but as usual a very creative and informative project. Thanks Devin

[@thepinkyoyodoll]

This is absolutely amazing. You did a great job man ! I bet it can win many Halloween costumes

[@ZebraandDonkey]

Great piece and a nice experiment for practicing modelling and design skills. Nice to see and thanks for the motivation.

[@mbanerjee5889]

I am always impressed by how innovative you are. Keep up the great work, Devin.

[@TwistedShrapnel]

Devin, this was a great project! Love it!

[@joshwarner5676]

This is fantastic. Such a fun idea and great execution

[@jacobferguson5313]

Am I the only one who noticed how good of an artist he is

[@xXxKiranekoxXx]

Me encantó tu idea, está genial que le pongas esas ganas a cosas simples, seguí asi!! :D

[@ChunkySteveo]

Awesome project Devin, well done dude!!

[@Zetl3D]

Is it complicated to learn how to do stuff with 3D printers? With the heat and what not it seems confusing

[@donovanmorgan7944]

*ZetL* not really

[@phantomgd7674]

*ZetL* ummm yea even tho I don't have a 3d printer I could expect it being completely complicated

[@Thomas_Ricks_]

It isn't hat complicated, it just takes practice. I have a cr-10, and I love it.

[@user-vm5zw1no6o]

*ZetL* it seems daunting at the beginning but once you get used to it is fairly simple

[@looh]

I got my Anet A8 in january and there are a tons of things that i've learned just by getting the printer. I basically started with 0 knowledge. I started to upgrade my Anet A8 to make it more safe and easier to use (so i learned a bit about electronics, physics, power etc. - dug out my old soldering iron and much more). Now i'm becoming a fairly good 3D designer when it comes to modelling something (that can be of course printed out later on) and even make some money off of it. And my ANET A8 is currently delivering a better print quality than an older generation Ultimaker 2 or other $700+ printers. However, if i would've got a 3D Printer for $3000 in the first place, which is perfectly assembled and you just have to print stuff with it, i wouldn't have learned nearly as much as i did with the $160 ANET A8 Kit. It is complicated, but it is a lot of fun. And once you understood and learned something, you'll keep it forever. Also keep in mind, that 3D modelling and designing is a high-paid job. So even if you don't want to print something, you could still create 3D models and sell them, or join a company who needs 3D designers.

[@TheEyebrowsShow]

I always love a costume with a bolt in pick up line “hey, you wanna Bop It?”

[@spikekent]

In a word ... Outstanding!

[@juicyyybaby]

THATS SO AMAZING !!!

[@margaretelliot6224]

The thumbnail looks like an animorphs book cover I’m laughing way harder than I would like to admit right now

[@charlesprouty3875]

That was Great!.. you are so creative!

[@Retrokid94]

i love it where the bop it is on his private spot

[@Toche]

so cool idea ! Great video again !

[@Matt-1906]

Great Job Devin!

[@EIIjot]

This is awesome, super inventive fun costume. Your sketches were really nice also!

[@funx24X7]

Love the Radiohead shirt. The Bop It suit is of course on a completely different fashion level.

[@rainbowlapisgal1824]

Instead of putting Bop It Extreme, he should have put Bop It Human XD

[@georgicrow9017]

This is my favorite video on the internet.

[@Jenaroo]

I love how in your plans the way you wrote "FLICK IT". 😉

[@cjoe5977]

To remove the hot glue just use denatured alcohol

[@altermunmis]

Very funny video! Besides all the fun we could learn a lot of design. VERY NICE VIDEO!

[@MungeParty]

This is hilarious! Great video.

[@bizmarkie9112]

Today I learned how a Bop It works and I'm impressed.

[@ailisrelihan9041]

The way you wrote 'flick it' played a trick on my eyes, and every single time, my brain thought it said 'f**k it' XD nooooo

[@Mrrandomperson13]

Those sketches are glorious

[@najaKahalt]

This is such an amazing Project! I hope you could do the 2. version of the Bop it extreme called the bop it extreme 2!

[@Funky.S]

this costume is incredible! i cant wait to see what you do this year

[@make.anything]

I missed out on making something crazy this year, but I'll make up for it next time!

[@Funky.S]

thats too bad. im looking forward to your non-costume projects though :p

[@RicardoPereiradesigner]

I LIKE YOUR CREATIVITY !

[@mutanttepig4759]

I... I have so many questions about this, but... most of them are probably best to go unanswered(mainly because most of those are just... why?). Also interesting how each switch is actually just a button with some unique features that make it work.

[@trishalenon6395]

this is such a beautiful costume .

[@DesignTechie]

I don’t know why more people don’t watch you omg

[@selah2367]

That’s pretty cool! Now you should make a mini bop it!

[@randomgirll3123]

I wish I could have made that meet up! Your costume is really awesome. I can't feel bad for my crazy costume ideas anymore. XD

[@redshirtwookiee]

Awesome that you got your mom to help you with the Bop It part of this.

[@redshirtwookiee]

Also I can just imagine your parents standing just off camera laughing at the sight of their son creating a fully-functioning human bop-it. Amazing.

[@TheSomar1991]

This is awesome I love it 😂 😂 😂

[@atulrnt]

Next time you want to unsolder stuff, use some flux, it will help to fluidize and disperse the solder. Great videos, thank you for sharing all of this :)

[@Maddimadness1]

I loved this

[@williamthomasmi10]

Absolutely inspiring

[@Funniguy2011]

Awesome costume!

[@stephsmiley2004]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@Webby123]

Pretty fun costume you made their Devin. It's amazing what you can do with that 3-D printer. I know you don't work with electronics too much, but one tip after soldering the wires is using heat shrink tube over the connection, you'll probably lose that tape within a year. It's not expensive at all, you can get a whole kit from Temu under 10 bucks. It's nice to have on hand. Please except this advice as constructive.

[@lorralu]

At the beginning of the video I was like what is wrong with you boy? Now I am like why are you such an amazing person?

[@ricky107_]

This man just destroyed a childhood toy to make a pure meme outfit

[@greywilliams8642]

I love your videos

[@AL_O0]

Love the new intro

[@dmanakell]

best halloween costume i've seen

[@maryphillips8069]

When u printed the button I was like, what? Where is it?... Oh! Oh that- that whole thing is! Oh wow

[@seppemanderick497]

I love this content... oh my god!!

[@SofiaCavalcante]

This is the man I chose to love

[@zikiardani7277]

dat thumbnail tho

[@unmarcos]

Oh my! You are so crazy man! 😂😂

[@MrMagicwan]

That's cool and awesome

[@IamZeCapican]

Your videos inspire me to take 3d printing in high school. (my school offers that)

[@victoriarose5503]

U r awesome love the videos keep it up

[@israelgarza169]

you're the best!

[@Mrs_Slusherz]

This is epic

[@FritzCouwels1991]

That Have You So Very Very Beautiful Made My Friend

[@ashtonshelton1016]

The entire video made me think of the drunk guy in uni yelling the bopit theme

[@benzerzanek5837]

You are a genuis holy crap. You are an incredible designer and it really inspires me that you are designing objects that you actually need in your everyday life, then creating them yourself. It is awesome man. I am 14 and taking and engineer 3D design class, and an AutoCAD class. On the collage campus we have access to lots of 3D printers, and an amazing laser helix. I have one question though. I see you use fusion 360 for a lot of parts, but I was wondering if you have ever tried Autodesk inventor? It seems a lot like fusion 360. I want to thank you for inspiring me man.

[@CosmicVFX0]

At 5:58 look at the circuit board at the top left. That got me cracken XD

[@danielledailey3584]

I love this bop it

[@OrigamiMiku]

Lol this made my week

[@baileymorrison2467]

Amazing

[@simonstahl9688]

I Love The thumbnail!!!

[@Heidegaff]

Why are your sketches so well done and organized? How can you do it?

[@make.anything]

Years of practice!

[@citrine666]

The thumbnail was very reminiscent of the covers of the Animorph books 😂😂

[@jaredcohen9552]

Maybe a Useful Upgrade that will increase the wear ability for this is using conductive thread and sewing it along the shirt and pants
