How the Tech Tips are MADE! Production tour of LMG

[@LinusTechTips]

I can't believe I'm just seeing this now! Thanks for coming by and making this video :) - LS

[@CanuckCreator]

Cheers. Was a great experience and everyone I had a chance to chat with was amazing. Thank you for having me out!

[@v1Broadcaster]

lol i haven't watched yet but its funny to think linus didnt know all this was going down and the founder being entertained still by his own company

[@adhdengineer]

linus! giant screwdirver, right? but... plushy.

[@CanuckCreator]

​@@v1Broadcasteri arranged the walkthrough with Tynan and Linus wasnt on location that day.

[@pieterrosing6007]

3:20 Linus have your sponsor team reach out to BoltsandNuts. They decked out a whole bunch of car youtubers with what amounts to walls of all the hardware they could ever need.

[@therick0996]

nice of you to show off an up and coming creator

[@tynanstack8251]

Thanks for coming by! Was great to catch up and show you around!

[@AthanImmortal]

Just to let you know this got served up in my feed, maybe because Linus commented, but either way I hope your video and channel gets a surge of new viewers. I always enjoy third party video collabs with LTT and other tech KZbinrs.

[@CanuckCreator]

Cheers!

[@Antstar12]

Great video, this is something I was hoping LTT would put out at some point but having you do a video on their set up is just as good.

[@andreas.grundler]

I'm surprised that LTT does so much product development in-house. I had thought that they were working with external companies that specialize in prototyping.

[@tynanstack8251]

Generally speaking iterating using in house 3D printing is wwaayy faster than working with an external prototyping house, since we can iterate like 20+ times/day depending on the size of the part with printers whereas at an external house it would be days to weeks per cycle. It also helps us understand manufacturing processes and improves our design processes! Plus lets us do fun one off projects with the tools!

[@ninjadudeofficial]

They do a lot of stuff in-house in general tbh, as Linus and some of the others have talked about a few times. That's why they can have such a large number of staff, but inidividual projects and tasks can still seem slow or flawed in some ways, bc there's only a small number involved. It can lead to inefficiencies in some places but allows them some pretty significant freedom and other benefits elsewhere. Like Tynan pointed out, so many of their resources are pulled frequently in various directions for labs testing, videos, products, and sometimes Linus's personal use lmao

[@mr.tv001]

i wanna see tynan hes an untapped gold mine of content his body language is very fun im a fan

[@omgfrankie]

Thank you Nero for this vid. Always nice to get an inside look. I'm surprised with how much they have.

[@tynanstack8251]

more stuff soon :)

[@k03hl3r]

That's much more substantial than I would have ever guessed!

[@emberprototypes]

Happy to see them using our plates! And wow, they have so many cool toys 🤩

[@drubradley8821]

This was a well put together video. Good job. And, interesting stuff they do while being well rounded in their goals.

[@manofthecroc]

Dang they have a super sweet setup!

[@Gamer-nc8qp]

when i saw the title half asleep i was like when did linus started making machine guns, then i was like yeah, linus media group lol

[@crawlerin]

Nice to see some tooling they use, behind the scenes 🙂

[@ThisisDD]

Right on! Always cool to see Hot Linus

[@unkiee]

I always felt the big screw drivers should just take a regular screwdriver as a bit...

[@Voyajer.]

Oh hey, I have one of them big ol screwdrivers

[@davidl6354]

If Linus has approved to purchase all this. Then i wonder what he said no too 😂

[@v1Broadcaster]

corporate deployed vorons is mad man work 😂 speaks volumes about how amazing the company is

[@Jimmy_Jones]

Did you know about the metal 3D printer?

[@HReality]

Ok, so grab any swag or contact information. Expanding your circle is almost always a good thing. I’m sure you had a blast!

[@randommcranderson5155]

cheers for showing us just how much stuff is going on in the back rooms at LMG.

[@roboticdem0n]

1:00 They're adding to the subtracting area. Do they then have more or less in that department?

[@erwinslootweg7938]

i'm a bit motion sick from the camera skills. other then that, that was nice!

[@groteboem]

More collabs with ltt?

[@PurpleMonkeyBritches]

Love a good shop tour. Cheers from Iowa!

[@seljd]

can someone recreate the Star Trek TNG Darmok episode but it's only about Tormach?

[@spooknik-z3t]

Darmok and Jalad at tormach

[@ChristopherKlepel]

Phenomenal video. I'm always curious about the LTT behind the scenes

[@jay1st1st]

Still choochin, some1 knows AVE :)

[@anime0dude]

wait ltt mouse to bad my mouse is almost dead right now and that thing has to be at least a year out

[@BarryMikkelsen]

A ton of Maker Pipe connectors in the shelving.... but how did they make the EMT/conduit blue?

[@tynanstack8251]

It’s flexpipe you can get the piping covered in plastic for making tables and whatnot we bought a bunch of it and used it to deck out the engineering den!

[@ronnyroethof]

cool :D

[@ninjadudeofficial]

There's some cool tech in their lab that seems to have been missed out, maybe just wasn't your kind of area or there just wasn't a huge amount of time etc. Either way, really cool video

[@CanuckCreator]

Since time was limited I mostly focused on the additive/manufacturing setup they have in house. If you want to see a full tour of everything they've done that on their channel already in the past

[@jonmayer]

short tour

[@theglowcloud2215]

Do they have any kind of filtration/ventilation system for the printers (especially the resin ones)?

[@tynanstack8251]

Most of the resin systems we use have built in filters, and they are located far from other workspaces. For our FDMs we mostly use PLA/PETG which doesn't offgas much and our main print areas are large open areas or in non-office spaces

[@Doggie504504]

That's an optical comparator not CMM, we have a similar one at the shop I work at. They are pretty different.

[@tynanstack8251]

In its current form it is a Video measurement system, I would say its closer to a CMM than an optical comparator though its likely a terminology difference. Optical comparators are generally described to "only" handle 2D measurements this is a 3D system that has the capability of having an additional touch probe.

[@Doggie504504]

@@tynanstack8251 we have a Keyence machine that has a light probe but it doesn’t do z depths, that option only had a .005” accuracy so we didn’t get that. Does that machine probe in z? If so that’s a great machine!

[@tynanstack8251]

We have a Mitutoyo QV Apex 302 its accuracy is on the order of 1-2um in all axes! It’s a pretty sweet machine indeed!

[@bernardtarver]

A bit underwhelming, given all the machines and resources they have.

[@cinobro6393]

11:41 Rip Micronics...

[@conorstewart2214]

Yep, bought out by Formlabs, likely to be given a job where they feel important just so that Formlabs could snuff out a competitor.
