This is a manufacturing wonder. Props to continuing and the effort going into this plus explaining it, my mind hurts just thinking about what you had to do to make this. Genius
I literally don't mind if Jairus doesn't finish a project. I just love his content man. Anything he does is just entertaining and inspiring. Love you man ♥
This project seems like an amazing nightmare in totality. Like everything about it seems like it should be and it is amazing but getting it all to work seems to be a nightmare Don't blame you for putting it to the "side" for now till you get it finished
Jesus christ. When shit hits the fan, you dont give up and it wildly apparent. Massive props for not giving up on this project. I can't imagine your pain!
Could you possibly do a spring assisted start and/or return somewhat similar to a switchblade? Just enough to help get the momentum started in either direction to ease some of the strain on your servos?
I understand having to put it on the back burner for now, but I am very excited to see the finished project. Maybe you should start the design process over and see if there might be an easier way to assemble everything. now that you have assembled your first version you have knowledge of how the parts interact, of which you didn't before! Happy Days Mate.
You do you man. Don't burn yourself out. Everything is content and even though I'm not a fan of channels that only hack out simpel baits it doesn't mean you always should take the hardest paths.
Is it possible that the servos aren't getting enough power from your AA battery pack, because it can not supply enough amps? As far as I know even one of these servos can easily consume more than 2.5 Amps. Maybe you should measure the supply voltage while extending the arm and try again with a better power supply/battery.
Freakin ARDUOUS! Thanks for the great video to inspire tenacity in other creators. And, I'm stoked to hear that you'll be working on other stuff. I was worried that this would bog (bring) you down. Incredible work, man!
You have a proof of concept. You’re at the point now that you need 2step back to go forward one. Being limited with tool and materials make it that much harder.
I wonder if you could just use bike cable guide tubes instead of those rollers, there would be more resistance but you would never have to worry about them jumping off and it'd be a whole lot simpler. The cable stretching could probably be worked around by just using a limit switch to detect when the blade has been drawn all the way back, that way even if the length changed dramatically over time it would never accumulate slack. a spring assisted release would also probably help a lot, considering how much the servo struggles to lift the blade. The project seems really cool so far, I hope you return to it eventually
sorry this projects giving you such a hassle. i get the feeling this might be the first and last project from cyberpunk you take up. but if not i recommend the gorilla arms or a co2 version of one of the shotguns love your content so much and can't wait to see where it goes
Duuude Bro this is a nightmare project, I agree sit this one out on the back burner, and work on simple funner projects [ Ideas ] Dual power fist Propane power fist Pringles Arm cannon Cardboard Exo arm Any Cardboard projects 🤙
Yes my wonderful maker dude, you should take a break if it's hurting you. You'll likely find inspiration for the Mantis Blades by doing other projects. Still, this build is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen on RUclips and I clicked this video as soon as I saw it in my feed. I binge watched the previous videos a few days back, when I was finally introduced to your channel. I can't wait to see more.
Use wire instead of string and just drill a hole on each side of where it needs clear, add a cover over the wire so it doesn’t rub anything. You could even use something as simple as a pen cut in half to run the wire thru. Just an idea and as all ideas go it could still not pan out
What if you have the blade under spring tension that wants to launch itself frontwards and it will be recoiled back using some motor that rilles it back by string like a fishing line? This is just an idea to try to make it as simple as possible. But hey, love ya content, put this project on pause if you want and continue with the other stuff first that you have in plan. Have a nice day Man!
Use the servos or a motor to retract the blade instead of propel the blade. Haven't looked far into this game or weapon but if you used springs and a sear system then it would function but not be as pleasing to the eye or arm
Also you got those 9g full metal servos that can pull 20 or so lbs I’d set one on each side of the blade it should be more than enough to move that blade!
U could do assisted servos if you dont get enough power from them. The problem with that is that it might be to big and bullky, bit I think that it might be cheeper than upgrading the servos att least.
How about replace the motor with springs, so when you swing your arm, the blade will come out and extend to the full length, when your arm stop the blade will pull back to its original place(just an idea, just wonder why not using mechanical mechanisms, sorry for my english)
string is too elastic and easily kinks up, try picture hanging wire. like people use for hanging large photo frames. it is very strong steel wire and is flexible enough to do what you need without stretching.
I don't know how you've stuck with this project thus far.... I'd have quit and be like they are now human powered. Same concept except they fold out from swinging your arm forward (like a throwing a semi-hook punch) and it locks out like a pocket knife. Fabricate a fancy spring assisted release and call it a day.
You should at the very least get some kind of mill and lathe for a project like this. Even if its the cheapest shit available. Even if its just a 300€ cnc kit, it will enable you to make proper parts without becoming insane.
Ever think about talking to a creator.. Ian davis. The man has made his own hand. No servos, no power. But the hand opens and closes, rotates, even the fingers will splay out. See what he has to say and maybe get some help?
I love this project. But it does make sense to put this on the back burner until you can really get it working. Would it be possible to add some sort of block and tackle setup to the servo so it reduces the strain on it when moving? That way you could keep a smaller servo for the project. Or another option some how link two servos together to increase there pulling capacity? Then either use a third servo to move the blade? Just some thoughts!
Cyberpunk 2077 looked great, turned out to be a massive disappointment. Mantis Blades build looked great, turned out to be a massive pain in the ass. I see a pattern emerging. Though much of these issues are probably related to the drive system- Pretty sure the "real ones" are hydraulic, not driven by electric motors.
Cyberpunk was overhyped and Its kinda fault of ppl hyped for cyberpunk because ppl normally expect more than it is and that's a fact so cyberpunk is ok game and ppl are pissed because Its not what they expected
@@tekken.universal2343 It simply shouldnt have been named Cyberpunk, and shouldnt have promised the world when it couldnt deliver half of it. When i read the name Cyberpunk, i compare it to the tabletop game where i have a damn lot more freedom over who i am and what i do. 2077 doesnt even let you choose your identity, you get to pick between female V and male V and thats it.
@@DarkestVampire92 dude that's exactly what I am saying ppl expect too much from it you get hyped and when they say we are cutting content to make it faster ppl are pissed and think that they lied or something they wanted to do it more free but it gone wrong because time limit
@@DarkestVampire92 just understand that Its partialy your own fault to give in to the hype ( Its not like you choose to cut the content) but 15% of that dissapontment is fanbase fault

This guy isnt doing any compromises in functionality. You've got to give him credit
Imagine giving an amputee some mantis blade prosthetics
It’s amazing how my interest in this project has actually outlived my interest in ever playing cyberpunk.
whoa you're right lol
Agreed
Hurr hurr Cyberpunk man bad pls give Reddit Gold.
Even with the new next gen update? 👀
This aged poorly

Started watching this is 2024 and I’m really ticked that he still hasn’t posted an update.
@@aliasfakename-mf2jh no hate but I would love to see an update
@@xEternalSaltx that’s what I’m saying! It’s been two goddamn years !
You do you man. Don't burn yourself out. Everything is content and even though I'm not a fan of channels that only hack out simpel baits it doesn't mean you always should take the hardest paths.
I just love how you make that projects with basic tools!
Is it possible that the servos aren't getting enough power from your AA battery pack, because it can not supply enough amps? As far as I know even one of these servos can easily consume more than 2.5 Amps. Maybe you should measure the supply voltage while extending the arm and try again with a better power supply/battery.
Cant believe its been over 8 months since this project began .. and i still get hyped when a new video comes out…love the work !!

It's okay, you still have 56 years to meet deadline.
Stay safe, stay sane, stay groovy.

Dang that’s awesome!
12g co2 cartridges could maybe be an answer to a quicker deployment
Over a year later.... mission failed
Video of a man tortured by his own creation
Use the servos or a motor to retract the blade instead of propel the blade. Haven't looked far into this game or weapon but if you used springs and a sear system then it would function but not be as pleasing to the eye or arm
just a suggestion, idk if it will work, but what if you use cable housing like in a bike, you can move it freely, and, with no pinch
Bro I’m so proud of you. You have more patience than any other Maker lmao great work!!
Also you got those 9g full metal servos that can pull 20 or so lbs I’d set one on each side of the blade it should be more than enough to move that blade!

maybe something similar to this ruclips.net/video/cjLrB6Ta654/видео.html&ab_channel=JamieKawabata
this build is so cool and just cause i watched the first few videos seeing that rust makes my heart hurt
This is one of those channels where you klick the like button and then watch the video.
Instead of cervos, would compressed air or hydraulics be an option? I feel it would be faster and less problems
How about replace the motor with springs, so when you swing your arm, the blade will come out and extend to the full length, when your arm stop the blade will pull back to its original place(just an idea, just wonder why not using mechanical mechanisms, sorry for my english)
I hope one day I can culminate a shop as diverse as this to pursue my own creations 😅🤤
Dude get a cheap lil wood lathe or something please ahahah. That drill technique is sick though and I'm gonna use it
Well i usualy dream of a world with technologie like in cyberpunk except the world is peace and maybe i can say thag you kinda make my dream come true
Can't wait to see what you do next :)
It gives me steampunk vibes
You guys rock! Keep it up! cant wait!

Never have clicked faster.
Was watching the pen vid when I saw this
so did you just give up on this one forever? now that edgerunners is out its about as good of a time as any to resume no?

This is so cool
I love this, it's so intricate, I guess the next ADHD build should be perhaps a jet powered ground effect skate board?
maybe it's just cause i watched "i did a thing" and he just bought a lathe... but why did you do all that brasswork without a lathe?
i love this! you just be doing shyt!
Huge!
Pog
Keep up the excellent work. :)
How about you make the doomsLayers blade from doom eternal
Only 2 hours late but can't wait to watch :))))

👍
Just make it hydralic...
Hi, I'd love to make this
Update?
Good always overcomes evil, I’m happy that I’m the first like on this video 😃
Please make more fallout 4 weapons
Will supercapacitors help make the blade point out faster??
I mean the survo is slow, so maybe it'll work with more electricity at once.
pog
Needs to be mechanical, it’s way too slow
