Winter 2024 - Cleaning the Makerspace: Part 10

[@CaptainShotgun007]

So much stuff! It's like Christmas everyday!

[@danbasile1653]

Might I suggest something outlandish like a Condiment King cosplay for the Mr Beer containers? I know the tanks don’t necessarily match, but dueling Jupiters hooked up to matching proton packs in red and yellow could be crazy fun…

20:49 “Will It Hit?” reference??? Probably not, Chaylo is too cool for my trends

[@jeffreycarman2185]

37:52 thank you for answering my question. Bangarang!

[@alexkilba1355]

Huginn and muninn would be neat for the stryfes

[@CaptainXavier]

@alexkilba1355 you do know the Rayven exists, right? ;) Someday, I will make a pair of auto Rayvens.

[@alexkilba1355]

@CaptainXavier ooooh good point

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Thanks for the video! Great productivity. Bangarang!

[@ddrjoe]

Great work on cleaning and organising. I was wondering how you run your 3d printer capabilities? Maybe even funny stories from your experience with 3d printed blasters.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Ideas from Norse mythology for the FDL 3 and Jupiter proton back blaster: Baldr and Hodr these are the twin sons of Odin and Frigg. Or Móði and Magni the (sometimes) twins of Thor and Sif. To be honest I have no idea if either of these sets of twins’ symbolism or history reflect the nature of your magnificent blaster combo, but anyways… Bangarang!

[@JakeSaber-f7m]

What are you hoping to see that has not been done yet by the 3D printers/designers? Are there certain areas or general concepts that you think they have not delved into yet? Thanks!

[@Dargonous]

Have you ever thought about making a proton pack fed shoulder cannon

[@JonathanBerry-nk4fz]

Feel free to listen to this or not, but when life is rough for me, I find reading my bible and praying is very helpful. I know everyone isn’t a Christian, but if you try it just once, you’ll most likely be satisfied with the results

[@commanderherron]

Amen brother!

[@CaptainXavier]

I was raised Catholic. I have read the Bible in full several times. I have also read the Torah, the Quran, the Gita, the Kojiki, the Book of the Dead, the Poetic Edda, and several other holy texts or mythos I cannot think of at 3:30 am. And as creation myths go, I enjoy Tolkien's Silmarillion much more than all the rest. As promises of Afterlives go, I gotta say, Valhalla sounds pretty awesome. And as moral philosophy goes, they were all surprisingly similar. They almost all had some variant of "The Golden Rule." It is almost like "be nice to each other" is good advice no matter who gives it. :D I am glad you have found something that brings you peace. :)

[@akagainesy]

Idea for FDL and proton pack Jupiter names... Find some gods or figures from whichever mythology you want who have similar huarache to Aphrodite and Eros. I'd understand if you didn't want to use them as they are the goddess of love beauty and desire and the god of love. But there must be others I can't think of off the top of my head that would work for what you want to go for

[@jamesstephenson8539]

If you have any stuff you just want to get rid of (not trash mind you) I will be glad to pay you postage to ship it to me. I'm always looking for weird and/or unusable stuff. It's my OCD kicking iI think. Just let me know. Thanks.

[@Cuttman-zr4nz]

Your fdl3-proton pack could be named after odins crows huginn and muninn

[@CaptainXavier]

As I have said several times now: My dude, yhe Rayven exists. And someday, I will get around to building a pair of auto-Rayvens, so I am keeping those names open. :D

[@richardparkes9244]

Suggestions for the auto stryfes, Modi & Magni

[@CaptainXavier]

Actually...I kinda prefer those as names for the FDL-3 and Jupiter. They are "giants" in the hobby and one is "younger" than the other. The Auto-Stryfes are identical so I am looking for names of twins.

[@Huntress236]

Fdl3 & Jupiter: Hugin and Munin / Odin's Ravens Auto strytea: Thor and Loki?

[@RandomIdeaGenerator1990]

Have you watched any sci fi channel series in the past 20 years, such as warehouse 13 etc.?

[@timtam2400]

Besides Nerf and Lego, what other interests do you have?

[@commanderherron]

What video editor do you use?

[@jessicasimp4459]

Speaking of the super rare blasters… what do you think is the rarest NERF blaster of the 2000s… everybody knows the special Crimson series released in 2009, but they’re at least a couple blasters that are rarer… the Slingfire DX400 from 2001 and the red SuperMAXX 350 from 2003, so let me know which of the 2 is the rarest…

[@Fool408]

Hey Cap, I know this isn't the typical video to ask questions on, but I need help. I'd like to convert Modulus ECS-10 to Honey Badgers using AA batteries and keeping as much of the original wire as possible (for ease). How would you recommend doing that?

[@CaptainXavier]

All you should need to do is swap the motors and remove the thermistor. You can leave all the rest of the wires and switches.

[@Fool408]

@CaptainXavier So if I was to follow the original wiring, it should be ok? This is someone else's project that I picked up, and I have no ability to contact them, nor do I know them. It's just, such a weird concept it needs to get finished

[@CaptainXavier]

@Fool408 yes, honey Badgers draw low enough current (and AAs can only produce little enough current) that all the stock wiring and switches are fine. The Thermistor, however, has to be removed. Honey Badgers draw enough current to flip the thermistor and shut down the blaster.
