Now that you’ve got mini skidi 2.0, you should do a whole series of mini construction equipment! How about a mini excavator?

[@PranayBhanushali]

Make this comment the top comment!

[@DrNabeel20]

YES.

[@clintfledderman8077]

yessss

[@piggasauros]

Or a mobile crane, that would be awesome

[@Evilslayer73]

Excellent idea!:)

[@jana171]

Finally someone is not just making more of those 3D figurines, impressive as they might be, they do get old. THIS kind of 3D printing, combined with cad drawing and RC electronics, is just so freaking cool, it should be available in any Toy/RC/hobby-store globally 🙂

[@elonmoishkrl8981]

Agreed!

[@michaelmontgomery4748]

Would love to see more construction equipment! Maybe a dumptruck or a dozer Would like to see these in V3 A quick disconnect from your servo on bucket so various attachments can be used, forks for pallets, a stump grinder, auger, etc. It would than be helpful to use a servo wire extender and make a permanent servo connection point at the end of the lift arms for the second servo where the current wires come out. This could than be useful when switching implements so disassembly isn't required to rewire things. Love this project cant wait to see what else your cooking up!

[@banditboy1]

Building onto the quick disconnect, correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t you just add a magnetic connector so that if you had the bucket disconnected you could just back away from it and it would disconnect?

[@scottcarpenter6443]

I noticed that pretty early in the video myself, and I actually have the files pulled up right now on my computer looking at what it would take to add that to the arm and possibly a version of SSQA

[@Josstrigaming]

Honestly with all your electronics knowledge, it would be awesome to see you design a 3d printed 1lb combat robot.

[@KiyoshiKatu]

Just need to add some ballast to the bottom/back of the Mini Skiddy to get more lifting power out of it! Very cool video, glad I clicked on it. Awesome to see you so excited about projects like this. As for a future robotics project, I think it would be neat to follow the theme a bit and do more construction equipment, but with the twist of making some of the very early cable driven heavy equipment, like an old steam shovel, just to mix it up a little! Can't wait to see what you end up making. Keep it up!

[@patrickwhite886]

Great upgrades and update! I'm pretty stoked to see more of your future projects. I wish you continued success, my friend!

[@jannnnis]

I am quite new to 3D printing and I'm loving this project. Also your videos are super entertaining and high quality! Keep it up man!

[@ub_tv3745]

Just the project I was looking for! Really like the channel, keep the projects coming.

[@rty0m]

Really cool video! Hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves

[@michelefantini9414]

Dude this bad boy is cool, next step is substitute the shovel with the big brush for street cleaning! Btw amazing job!

[@avrprograms]

Dude, nice work with the new version and dedicated Idea. I had a fantastic learning experience.

[@kylelacour8607]

I love the idea of a series on mini construction equipment. My kid would go nuts over it. Well me too lol.

[@major751]

First time finding you. Awesome video and project! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next

[@toddsampson3389]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Ordered your kit!

[@timothychristensen2205]

I've been designing my own 3d printed rc car and your journey has taught me several things.

[@crnlbwlawson]

Flipping awesome!!! This could be my winter project!

[@PauliJuppi]

Amazing project! Very well documented and displayed. I think I need to buy(or win ;) one for my son next birthday. Keep up the good work 👍

[@davidpodeszwa7010]

youtube just recommended me this video out of nowhere and i loved it. i just subbed and i have to say, you deserve more subscribers

[@lightningboi8802]

I really like the new range of motion with V2.0! For the next iteration, you should make an algorithm to allow automated tasks like digging or moving stuff with a programmable path and task.

[@spencerstainwright-little7314]

Such a high quality video,dropped a like hope your channel keeps growing at the rate it is rn

[@jellybeanpowder]

This is my kind of engineering! First time seeing one of your videos. You've earned yourself another subscriber and buyer of your stuffs.

[@JF743]

What I'd love to see is a V2.1 with analog controls using a drone receiver and paired to a 4+ Channel radio.

[@viko207]

Great stuff, looking forward to your next project. Forklift is something that comes to my mind.

[@adamhale6672]

I am going to jump on the construction equipment bandwagon and suggest that you make more mini toys. I have always wanted to print toy equipment for my nephews. I have one that is obsessed with garbage trucks, so add that to the lineup.

[@DavidAMcC]

You could add some peel and stick tire weights inside the rear hatch to counter balance the arm. The full size skid steer has a weight back there.

[@tomjohns8498]

Just found your channel well happy. This mini series has so much potential. Binge watching 👀 the rest. 😊

[@mimade5700]

Just did 1 and 2! I think a desktop crane would be really cool to load my mini snacks into my mini skidsteer. Love the content!

[@j1rka.]

First time see this channel and I’m excited! 😊 Good work👍

[@andrewmcphee6825]

Amazing! Construction equipment is such a fun project series! Now you need a dump truck for the mini skidi!

[@professorboots]

i actually just finished the dump truck, I think you’ll like the video😂

[@Bdoggy617]

So glad I just found your channel, and I just love how you break down each step of the process. Also love the project in general, reminds me of a Bobcat Skidsteer I use to have. Now this might be an ambitious ask, but a rc brush mower for the skidi would make it a force to be reckoned with. Keep doing what your doing, and I'll definitely have to pick up a mini skidi kit myself

[@carsonmoon6846]

Excellent mechatronics project! Love the small scale construction theme. Keep it up!

[@modhail6908]

I love these 3d printing and electronics/robotics projects! I'm just apprehensive about the electronics and rc parts of it, as I have zero hands-on experience with it.

[@bowieinc]

Another idea. Create some 3D printed objects for a “trials course” and define an official boundary size so we all could compete for best times.

[@bowieinc]

I’m bummed, I re-read my comment you ❤’d above and I noticed I put “object”, instead of “objects”. I edited and fixed which caused the comment to loose the heart you gave. Now I’ll have to find some other way to get validation today, lol. Side note, I ordered a kit from you. Very excited. I’m sure you are a little overwhelmed, but don’t sweat the back order times or any jerks. You are doing great, try not to over do it to where it’s no longer fun and you get burnt out. Comment ending, I’m removing my “dad hat” now:).

[@alexsgocart]

KZbin recommendations freakin deliver. This is so cool! Subbed! Can't wait to see more!

[@izaaks3213]

Your Visio is amazing. There isn’t a lot of rc heavy equipment so it is great to see one you can make yourself. I think it would be really cool to see an rc backhoe. Once again great video.

[@canoepolofan]

This is awesome. Thanks for the great vid. Love the 3d printing, design and electronics combo. Definitely subscribing for more

[@dgbauer]

Great work! This project looks awesome! I can't wait to see more!

[@install_complete]

This dude constantly smiling. I love it and the mini Skidi. As a small town boy, how about a mini tractor or backhoe? If you do a tractor it'd be cool to see a hay bailer or something you pull behind!

[@cnc-maker]

T-Rex Mini-Skidi Picking up the box sort of looked like a stop-motion video, which was really cool.

[@salspec3381]

When I was a kid there was a cartoon called Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. The toys were all these weird, but cool vehicles. Your skid with the claw reminded me of that. Those vehicles would be cool to reproduce.

[@BQAggie2006]

Nice subtle shout-out on the auger. Not sure I have the time, but time will tell.

[@JankyEngineering]

Would love to see more construction equipment in the same scale as the miniskidi!

[@Pedistrarian]

Neat, can't wait to see what kind of other mini construction equipment you come up with.

[@t3rr8088]

That project looks awesome. Keep it up 👍

[@Austin-fc5gs]

I've already done 1 and 2, so i'd like to see an fpv version of this mini skidsteer. so cool!

[@kencccgs]

Was about to ask for the same stuff.

[@XxHeManWomenHaterxX]

Amazing job on this project!

[@neutron-au]

Love the content man, such high quality :)

[@Badminkey7]

This is super cool!! The modular possibilities!

[@nevenlukic]

Sir, that is a certified sick mini skidsteer. Wheelie's lookin nice. Amazing video!

[@professorboots]

😂 if it isn’t Mr. Wheelie man himself. Thank you!

[@carexe51]

It's a very nice build, takes a lot of time and was worth it. I bet he made it to take some things off his mind.

[@guenterhele5311]

Great job on the mini loader 😊

[@Blocker226]

It’s so cool to see you continuously iterate on this! I’d like to see a version with more sensory inputs to allow for some cool automation tasks!

[@SantaDragon]

Thanks for the update. Great project.

[@andrewrowland9563]

Love the videos man! Big fan of the mini skiddi. A kind of out there idea for a future project could be one of those magnetic cranes you see at metal scrap yards. That would be a fun video to watch the creative process at work. Keep up the good work man!

[@danielsetzer9295]

Get some lead car tire balance weights and stick them on the back for counter balance. The real thing uses a huge solid steel plate, but small lead weights in that rear hatch would sure help alot.

[@semmoney5686]

Make something based of Caterpillar machines. they have a big inventory and you will forsure find inspiration to build for the future projects. Maybe like a 3D crane with cables to like lift the skidsteer onto a lego building top. Would be really cool a downscaled crane with 3D parts and small electronics. Also because a crane is bigger than the skid, you can easy fit multiple strong servo`s and other tech to make it work and performe with power. All the best for upcoming projects ! Good channel

[@noahorr3480]

Growing up i really wanted a Rokenbok set - this is so cool!

[@aiden5899]

I think the next project should either be a dump truck (like on of those articulating ones) or a digger. That would be pretty cool to see

[@asphaltjunkie2373]

A Mini front loader would be awesome as well as a mini tractor with a trailer to carry the stuff you pick up

[@user-de5co4sr6p]

Amazing work! Would be cool to see a big dumper truck so you could load it up with stuff using the mini skidi!

[@joshuamahon260]

I really want to do a mini battle bot. One you could use to battle with your friends! Great vid my dude! Keep up the good work.

[@billdoser8589]

This project is great. I love the energy you bring to your videos. I enjoy seeing the gears and linkages in this video. Perhaps a series more aerospace focused. A 3d printed rocket and a transport vehicle.

[@jeremypalmer5695]

This is a super cool project. Reminds me so much of my Anki Vector Robot that is now brain dead because the company went bankrupt. I always loved his ability to use a charging pad. Not sure if autonomous vehicles are your thing, but with your skills you could make a really cool little desk pet that is maybe solar powered and seeks out light to charge itself. Also I used to have an RC forklift and it was loads of fun to play with and this project brings back memories of that fun time. Looking forward to your next upgrade/project.

[@GJToken]

So, suggestion for version 2.1 - some kind of hollow "backpack" to add ballast/weights into to counter balance heavy loads on the bucket - a electronics cover that simulates a drivers cab

[@marcuspagel]

So happy to see this channel growing! A project I'd love to see is you starting to get into water/underwater craft. You have already covered air and land. Time to move on to water! (then fire 🔥😈 )

[@buyingvlog]

Like it. Cad program looks nice as well.

[@monchsterf]

Proud of your work. Hope you keep it going. I suggest your next robotics project could be a desk cup coaster with wheels that will track your daily water intake and remind you to stay hydrated (by going in front of you through face recognition or sending notifications). I imagine it to have obstacle and cliff avoidance, weight sensor, connectivity for notification reminder, all enclosed a 3d printed cup coaster

[@seb2721]

Would like to see a ski lift! Maybe for a holiday decoration?

[@RutgerJonaker]

Wow ! A perfect autumn project for me. For future you might want to add a snow blade that can either be folding or just turning right or left

[@ttpechon2535]

Extremely cool! Just found your channel and it's awesome! I'm in the process of making an RC BRDM. (Btw, skidsteers are really fun to drive)

[@mrnobody4200]

Can't wait for another awesome project!!

[@Tee-np1fc]

Great vid! Love the mini skiddy! Needs a dump truck and trailer to go with it.

[@elonmoishkrl8981]

Wow man, you’re growing a ton. Great job :)

[@professorboots]

Eyyyyy! If it isn’t first sub himself, thank you yeah stuff has been chugging right along!

[@truehybridx1]

Mini or larger excavator would pose some interesting actuator constraints to work with… plus plenty of room for the core electronics

[@zachwood473]

I think a articulated dump truck would be really cool. Of course a bulldozer too

[@Arthur-ky1nc]

Since I’m used to drive this thing on my parents’ farm since I was a kid, I would actually looove a series of tractors and trailers

[@Trex76us]

I want to play with the little skid steer! Good job on it.

[@Ryan-ow7xy]

I stumbled across your channel and subscribed just after one video, this is an awesome hobby and its even cooler that you provide the resources for folks to build their own. As far as a future project goes I think it'd be a fun challenge to build your own version of an Armoured vehicle launched bridge (AVLB). Or something inspired by such a vehicle.

[@leeretzlaff909]

Now you need something for the skid steer to fill! A mini dump truck would be really cool! An interesting challenge would be the lift cylinder.

[@alaskaboy14]

I know it would be super hard but a backhoe would be so amazing. This project is awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@jacobswann7121]

Absolutely love the fact that this channel is fun inspirational and teaching is new thing KZbin needs more channels like this. Would love to see you build a ant weight battle bot

[@professorboots]

Definitely on my to do list!

[@jacobswann7121]

😁

[@thinkdunson]

as an upgrade for the claw servo, you could use a double shaft servo. then you could have a connecting arm on both sides to make the grip a bit stronger and more evenly distributed. putting the connecting arm pivot point farther away from the hinge would further reduce slop in the movement. real skid steers have weight added to the back of the body to make them more stable when lifting heavier objects.

[@conorstewart2214]

The only double shaft servos I have seen are larger ones, do you get small servos like these with double shafts?

[@willl84]

Just ordered a kit! Time to start printing!

[@KohleCoke]

I think a really cool challenge to do would be some railroad Maintenance of Way equipment. A hi-rail excavator would be a good start!

[@calebf2462]

Please make the next version in orange! I work at a Kubota dealership, and that would make me so happy.

[@kyle94scoots]

that looks so fun will definitely pick one up soon great job

[@fdtank81]

Very nice Definitely making one of these

[@rehnai]

The 2.0 looks amazing. How about a mini roomba for your next project? A mini vacuum cleaner that avoid obstacles and cleans your desk would be awesome.

[@jk_2023.]

I think that a video where you create an underwater rover that can clean a pool would definitely be pretty sick

[@ryan.graham]

A 3d printed robotic arm would be cool, like the ones you see in car automation factories, but like a desktop one to hand you your pen or a coffee or something!!

[@gibsonf06]

I’d love to see a robotic boat or submersible project! Would definitely be a challenge on a small scale I tried to build a mini skid steer from scratch and it didnt quite go to plan, this thing looks very polished!

[@kylevassallo387]

Great job on Mini Skidi v2 and congrats at growing the channel! A robotics project I would love to see and follow along with would be a a hexipod or quadruped with it's own controller (non-app, or maybe app compatible but not required).

[@B-RadAlstonRiverCityRVA]

Very cool design. I sure would love to see a backhoe version of this or even a tractor trailer low boy hauler for some of the future designs to be hauled on. Thanks for sharing.

[@333donutboy]

Very cool project. New sub and looking forward to more.

[@Yourcarrot-xc5ru]

When I heard you say your doing a give away for 3000 subscribers I thought I misheard you because this content is just as good as big creators like RCtestflight and the editing of the video is amazing.you deserve way more. also you should make a dump truck with work dumper so you could use the mini skiddi to pick up sand and pour it into the dump truck and it could drive away

[@hussamqaisia3856]

Amazing work, good job. Looking forward to see you flying a fully 3d printed drone.

[@andrewmo49]

Amazing project. Can’t wait to make this with my grandson

[@EdwardChew]

Awesome man! and you gained 1k subs within 24hrs!

[@faked8586]

You should make a little excavator next! It would go along well with the mini skidi. I was also thinking one of those logging machines with the big claw would be cool but that’s quite similar to this

[@hendr13x]

Thats pretty awesome mate. well done! a self charging and emptying robotic vacuum would be a good challenge for net time
