Classic C.A.D. Cardboard Aided Design

Never needs a software update!

So many makers are making stuff out of 3D prints and less accesible materials. It's si cool to see someone like Bill going back to basics.

[@punishedprops]

Cardboard never goes out of style.

[@JeiCos]

Started prop making with cardboard, so I love seeing you show this off!

[@punishedprops]

Right on! =D

[@dolphin64575]

Honestly, the fact that your craft knife stays at the depth you set it is so tempting to me. Every knife I've tried extends itself when I start cutting, and I may have to treat myself to this nice one...

[@MarkAdamson]

You can buy brown paper packing tape that matches the carboard so you don't need to worry about shiny tape (and makes it paintable). Plus you can recycle it easier after 10 years when you finally throw it away!

[@punishedprops]

Ooh I need to get a roll of that stuff.

[@Justrex01]

Aww... everyone else has beaten me to the snarkiest comments already. I like it when someone does something old school. I think you learn more than just printing it. Making it by hand puts the "art" back into your art. Thanks for sharing with us, guys!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks for watching!

An eternity ago, I bought a Futurama DVD collection that came in a full-size Bender's head (just after the movies, before the reboot). Useless at keeping discs (several are scratched beyond hope now), but quite a looker on my shelves. Since the wooden Bender episode, I kind of wanted to reproduce it in wood, but cardboard looks great too!

[@punishedprops]

Oh wow a wooden Bender would be incredible!

[@riuphane]

I'm so glad you have an advanced compass. They're so useful. Every time i pull mine out my wife looks at our daughter and says "watch closely. No one knows how to use those any more except your dad and he's going to do some magical math with it." Always makes me laugh, but it's seriously useful and becoming a lost art.

[@punishedprops]

I'm a super nerd for old school drafting tools.

[@harlem1011]

Serious question: What makes an "advanced compass"? At least the one at 10:51 was just "compass" when I was in school. And yes, they sure are a lot more versatile than they seem.

[@riuphane]

@@harlem1011 I learned to call them that as a way to differentiate from a navigational compass.

[@harlem1011]

@@riuphane ah alright, that makes sense than. I just thought I missed out on some super cool drafting tool I never knew about.

[@danielkearney1815]

That was such a simple video, but so satisfying to watch. Thanks Bill and Britt.

[@punishedprops]

You’re welcome!

[@keithjasperson9152]

Glad to see new crafting! 🎉😊

[@punishedprops]

I’m so pumped for this project!

[@andrewb9590]

That turned out great! Will definitely be following this series! Futurama is one of my favourites

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@danielmaxwell6676]

I have used cardboard to prototype things for a company I worked for years ago. Love to see it being used in addition to 3D prints.

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

I am so excited to see this!!! I love Bender! And Nibbler lol

[@punishedprops]

They're just the best. =D

[@michaeldiaz6570]

i love all your builds, but this has to be me favorite. It looked like so much fun.

[@MDigitalProductions]

Looking forward to this build!

[@punishedprops]

Thanks, me too! =D

[@Mat_1000]

So nicely done. I always appreciate your perfectionism, even in prototyping. This cardboard Bender is awesome! I especially love the mouth, with the shortening of the lower jaw, you nailed it ! Stay safe! Cheers from France!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you so much!

[@dma-rising8876]

This was so awesome and approachable

[@richieboon1119]

I made a 4 foot tall bender in highschool out of an old muffler “I’m 40% cardboard”

[@punishedprops]

Oh that's awesome!

This is gonna be great! Looking forward to the next parts of this build!

[@punishedprops]

It's gonna be a ton of fun!

[@jerthemaker]

This was absolutely amazing! So many ideas have been put in my head for things I want to make with this technique!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@simonmacomber7466]

Watching this reminds me of building card models back in my youth. While you are creating the prototype, the cardboard or card-stock models I built were the finished product. I was never really good at building from scratch, and a lot of the "cut and assemble" books from my youth are now long out of print, so it's not easy for me to get back into building like I did as a youngster.

[@punishedprops]

That's like the precursor to pepakura!

[@dapperprops]

This looks like FUN ON THE BUN!

[@punishedprops]

It sure is! =D

[@alexstrickland5395]

Very cool and inspiring. Time to start collecting cardboard.

[@punishedprops]

I seem to have a never ending supply...

[@blizatrex]

Looks like a fun process.

[@punishedprops]

It was a ton of fun!

[@anthonyp4209]

Why I am not getting notified of your latest stuff it's beyond me. KZbin needs to get it's proverbial together

[@specials3607]

You had me at Bender 😂

[@punishedprops]

Bender is favorite.

[@malaikamebane7161]

AWESOME!

[@punishedprops]

Thank you!

[@Schwift3D]

Know you'd rather make it yourself but Droid divisions bender 3D model is perfect. If you 3D printed that it would save you a lot of time (the head is it's own part)

[@punishedprops]

Oh wow that's really impressive!

[@maartjevancaspel]

Love it! 💓

[@xiggywiggs]

throughout the entire video I just kept saying "please insert girder" and "shinier than yours, meat bag!" over and over to myself lol

[@dbzgeek123]

Video is much needed right now since I’m working on a cosplay with a ton of foam pieces but I really want to get hands on with the design process before any final stage construction

[@punishedprops]

Nice! Good luck on the build.

[@RobReynolds]

It works be fun to see the car done in cardboard as well.

[@punishedprops]

That's a fun idea. I'll be 3D printing mine.

[@HarleyDaker]

You should also make him burp flames like he does in the TV show

[@punishedprops]

I love that idea!

[@bentationfunkiloglio]

Wow, nice glue gun. It's a beast! Cardboard bender came out great.

[@punishedprops]

Our pals at Surebonder sent it over and it has been an absolute champ.

[@rickywhyte7601]

I made a stormtrooper costume for my grandson a few years ago from cardboard

[@punishedprops]

Obu I fell asleep to this and feel like I learned a lot. I’m gonna watch it again though 😢

[@punishedprops]

That's such a great idea!

[@TirranDraath]

Eyeballing the eyes!

[@briansaban3849]

So much better than the 3D printing content. These were the type of videos that brought me to the channel years ago. I know 3D printing has its place in prop making but it just makes for boring content if you ask me. I would much rather see cardboard and foam and cheap materials made by hand. 3D printing kinda loses the soul of the project. Just my 2 cents

[@punishedprops]

Welp, the rest of this project is going to likely be 3D printed, but I promise it will be compelling. Loads of fun problem solving.

[@tonyfox45]

question: where did you find the reference sheet for Bender? Just curious.

[@punishedprops]

I did a Google image search for "bender model sheet" or "bender character sheet".

[@legoman222]

Really made a lot of "headway" on the cardboard mock up

[@punishedprops]

Heyoooo!

[@smittysbuilds]

im %40 cardboard. because apparently bender is %40 of every material.

It's true!

He needs an eye that has a FPV camera so you could control it like a drone in first person like you were driving it. haha

[@DoctorBatmanMD]

Please tell me the finished product will sit on an RC car chassis 🤞

[@punishedprops]

You are correct!

[@CommanderJeph]

Well, I know what will be menacing the Peachtree Center at Dragon Con 2025.

[@punishedprops]

You are correct.

[@engineerjosh314]

You missed a prime opportunity to say you were making the cardboard bendy so you could bend it into a bender. 🤣

[@streifenziesel4151]

I'm wondering if the frequency of the word 'bend' in this video was on purpose or if I only noticed because of the topic :D

[@punishedprops]

I mean, it's appropriate. =)

ya mighta been able to use regular card stock instead of the thick bulky cardboard, t would be easier to work with and doesnt have to be so big unless this is what you wanted but either way is ok i guess

[@kungfookielbasa]

Kraft paper tape would have been great here instead of the shiny clear stuff!
