17:06 don't talk to me or my son ever again.

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Such a cool project! Travel pads are so cool even if I'd avoid doing any crossovers on them.

[@roscoejustros]

wtf peter lawrence

[@PkGam]

I don't have all the tools... I don't have all of the materials... I probably don't even have all the skills to assemble things... But I want one! lol! Fantastic video on the whole process of it too! Entertaining and insightful!

[@cmyk8964]

With those lights in the dark, the travel pad looks like that Simon light-up game.

[@SpectreXS]

I don't know if I already commented in one of your videos, but I've binge-watched a ton of your stuff, especially the pad-building series. Thanks for recording and uploading those! Bro if you're ever in Brazil again, let's play some Pump it Up!😎

[@domitg]

Sounds good to me! I usually go to Sao Paolo every couple of years.

Unsorted thoughts/things I've ran into before: - Use wood glue with wood threaded inserts. It'll be stronger than the rest of the wood panel (same idea as MDF) - Threaded inserts for plastic are different than for wood. You want to drill a hole that they don't quite fit into and then use a soldering iron to melt it into place. Then you can't pull it out at all, even though the outside doesn't look like a screw. Doesn't work with acrylic (acrylic cracks instead of melting) but polycarb and PE (like HDPE/UHMW) should work just fine. - Spray painting MDF with a primer should seal it just fine. - I like that miter saw. - Since you have a drill press, you can use a countersink bit and countersink bolts so they lay flat with the surface. I did that on my extrusion pad and it looks really nice (although my mdf pad works better overall lol.) What material are you 3d printing with? I feel like PLA would crack pretty quickly, but ABS/ASA/PETG/polycarbonate would work well - especially polycarb. Looks like your delta has a v6 extruder on it though? It might be able to print with it.

[@Catoxis]

Fantastic as always, thanks for showing this process off! Seeing more pad builds is inspiring towards future goals. Good music selection, dig the Tool poster, and yes, post-ITG beer is good. Keep it up!

[@john_fenimore]

Finally THE BAR

[@yiff]

That bar joke had no right making me giggle

[@StefanoZuinisi]

me on 1:31: lol he is using a saw not a grinding machine, he must have little equipment... me at 3:00 when you cut polycarbonate... DAMN, that a saw!!! XD

[@Forsc]

The editing was fantastic. Love the video man

[@ArkaneX]

It's just amazing dude, gratz. I really love your content!

[@zxevik]

i too need to go back to using the bar 😅

[@RainbowXynn]

This looks so good, man. really good work

[@dylanjastle]

Looks awesome! I’m jealous of your workshop space and tool selection

[@domitg]

Thanks man. I'm the kind of guy if I find a good tool at a yard sale, even if i dont need it, I can't stop myself from buying it. I think I picked up my big standing drill press for under $50 for example. It drives my wife crazy sometimes. But it comes in handy in future projects having plenty of options available to experiment with. Sometimes i like simpler solutions like cutting the frames with a hack saw vs an angle grinder which would have been way faster. Hack saws are super fun to use. I really like cool tools, but im the first to admit I am not very skilled at using them 🤓

[@Cardmaster12]

The genre of the music in this video is literally just “ITG stamina”

[@the_break1]

Wow, you've built it surprisingly fast! Hope you're happy with a result!

[@Reox8888]

Awesome video, loved the humor

[@AwesomeHairo]

How did you determine what thinkness the plastic base would be? Maybe I missed that.

[@garichimist7228]

Amazing job bro!

[@ICTtoken]

Such a cool project I'm very jealous of your travel pad lol

[@natologic]

Really sick video (the montage was amazing!) And I have to say I'm jealous. The black frames on black HDPE looks incredibly slick. And the bracketless retention method using the bolts is really clean too. I do hear you on the "will only fit in a big suitcase" issue though. When I fly domestically I only ever take a carry-on which measures like 21"x14"x9". My old pad barely fit diagonally and the new one has to be disassembled to fit at all. Something that literally folds in half would be ideal...

[@domitg]

At some point i was considering using two half sized peices of HDPE for the base. It would have been cheaper as i could use off the shelf cutting boards. Then, i could dissassemble the pad for the flight and the base could split in two pieces which would definitely fit in a carry on. Maybe some day i can experiment with cutting my wood base in two to see how stable it would be. Regardless, having a travel pad you can easily disassemble that doesnt have parts glued and stuff leaves a lot of options on the table!

[@sakisagee2217]

very cool pad, i loved it

[@eprohoda]

enjoyed,you did awesome . 🤚

[@jboy27]

looks good

[@TTEREVE]

Great video!

[@domitg]

sweet dreams

[@fridgepuff1722]

I want to have one even though I play tech I want to bring it to friends houses has anyone ever tried doing crossovers footswitches etc. on a travel pad?

[@TomNess]

Dang this is awesome! Do you ever make these for sale, or would you be open to it? There’s a 0% chance I could make one of these myself let alone have it come out looking so good haha

[@superbading1997]

gr8 pad looks noice

[@calvinthedestroyer]

I feel that the wood would have been good enough ;)

[@domitg]

I think so too!

[@anominous4003]

Cool

[@werdwerdus]

epic

[@fluffyspark798]

Interesting

[@fabsab4434]

cool.

[@rustitg4808]

God

[@rustitg4808]

The bar

[@BeRealx89]

Can I buy your travel pad?

[@Retikulum01]

Right now not i belive. Soon there will be one tho

[@michaellk2254]

Not first.

[@MegaBitmap]

You built that thing like a tank! For the power and USB I would suggest using magnetic or at least right angle cables. That hot glue is nasty. Perfboard and solder would've been more reliable and easier to fit under the center panel.

[@domitg]

I just looked up magnetic micro usb cables and those looks perfect! I'm definitely going to get one. Thanks so much for that tip. I actually did get some of those protoboards with the intent to do that but when thinking about holding/mounting them, i experimented with the mini breadboards and found that fit so i just went with it. Stuff like that I'm not too wortied about because i can always re-do it later without a ton of effort.
