Bailey Hermann that's a cool idea but the bubbles will hit the tail fin upon exit and besides it wont spin anymore because the bubbles will hinder the side flow of the air
Hi Devon, You printed a particular pink-and-white pinwheel, that you show at 6:45. You blow on it on the *white* side. Later, at 7:26, you mount this outdoors, but with the *pink* side facing the wind (and get disappointing results).As you may know, most turbines have a preferred side. The way you mount it outdoors, the centrifugal action counteracts the angle-of-attack action, leading to a poor performance. The indoors orientation (blowing on the white side) has the two effects assisting each other (and is therefore the correct orientation for the maximum spin). Cheers!
My conclusions are based on flat-images of freeze-framed videos. I'd be curious to know if my observation has some truth to it, or is it a case of "nice try but no cigar". :)
I know two that are growing faster. Seqena: 3D pen art. Xabio Arts: art and comedy channel with dank memes You should check em out they're pretty cool.
If you print another spiral pinhead, attach them both to the stick in opposite directions and spin both wheels in opposite directions you'll get some crazy cool interferance patterns generated by both wheels! This was my first thought when I saw the video, and I'll def print that as a decoration once I get a printer...
I propose to you a challenge good sir: Make a two-step pinwheel. Put three smaller pinwheels equal distance apart on the edge of the large pinwheel and rotate them 90 degrees so that they are perpendicular to the main one. You have enough imagination and skill to do it, I believe in you.
you should try blender. It's an item software meant for modelling, animating, images and simulations. it has an extremely steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it is extremely powerful. you computer's power is the limit, literally
Would be neat to see him try it. Been blendering stuff and uploading to Thingiverse, although I'm short of having a 3D printer of my own. (*shrug*) The same exact thing in this video could be done in Blender alone. It has beziers. Set them up in 2D mode with closed paths to do most of what Illustrator did, then solidify for depth, and simple-deform twist. Convert to mesh. Export as .stl, and the 3D printer's software can pick it up and produce the extrusion path from there. Perhaps easier (faster?) since you're not hopping and converting between different software as much.
yeah maybe.... but blender is more for rendering, animation, etc. Solidworks is MUCH better for real life objects, especially due to its simulation tools.
I love your videos! Can you make a series where you teach the very basics of fusion 360? I really want to do some 3D printing, but don't know how to start fusion 360, but I do have some experience with tinkercad
could you try and design something where if you look at it from one angle it looks one color and then if you look at it from another it appears to be a different color like you'd be looking at the same surface but depending on what angle you viewed it from it would look different colored, but like do it as a whole project specifically for that illusion. (I think it's an illusion at least)
For your next video you need to make a fidget twist springo "whale" wind powered lil hats and stuff galactop!!! I dare you, I double dog dare you ... Also it other random news, I wanted to say thanks for inspiring me to learn solidworks. The learning curve was intimidating but watching your videos gave me the courage to press forward. Now I can design my own electromechanical assemblies for prototypes and other such doodads and sundries. I am currently building a digital mechanical flip clock from scratch thanks to your inspiration! Keep on CADding!
hey dev i was curious since you managed to make some pretty tough springs in your spring'o video could you make something spring powered? it is an added challenge to create something more mechanically complex and really push the limits of your creativity (and printer) :D cheers
a bearing for this? a metal insert would have been enough - just make sure that there is no real pressure applied. Also while skate-bearings under normal circumstances do need lubricants - here you have no load at all so you can just ignore it.
Hey devan! So i saw your shirt and got an idea. What if you'd make a design but only take the make anything logo and delete the text beneath it. You could leave it in the middle, or put it on a pocket. :)
Hi Devin, great video as always ! :D (For what I already saw of it, at least!) Your talent and creativity seem to have no limit, that makes me both amazed and jealous 😂 I believe your skills are quite unique, if a high tech company discovers you, they'll immediately try to hire you, trust me ! All your projects seem to be perfect and always successful (even though we can see all the work in behind). Would you do a video where you present all your failed projects ? :) (if there are any ?) Tomorrow starts my week of final exams for highschool, any chance you'd wish me good luck? ;)
Make Anything // 3D Printing Channel Thanks! Okay, I believe we can now call you god, if you do share all yours projects and that so little of them fail! That's freakin impressive 😳 I have a question, since you graduated, do you have a job in a company or is RUclips your only income ?
can you make a tutorial for the flex tool on f360 because most of your makers viewers don't have access to solid works and it seems to be a very usefull tool
devin I have a problem I wanted to print the spiral pinwheel and I sliced it with cura and if I print it, it printed many dots and not smooth lines so I canceled the print. what did I wrong??
Actually I've just figured out you can do it in Fusion in sculpt mode by creating a t spline extrusion, then use the manipulate tool to select the front edges and then rotate about the centre.
I saw your video and wanted to see if it was possible to do in Fusion 360 for those who don't have Solidworks, and I figured out a way to do these pinwheels if you wanted to know.
You should dip the pinwheel with the holes in a bubble solution then use it to see if then it will make bubbles
Bailey Hermann awesome idea :)
gr8 idea
Bailey Hermann that's a cool idea but the bubbles will hit the tail fin upon exit and besides it wont spin anymore because the bubbles will hinder the side flow of the air

I didn't even consider that, thanks!
My conclusions are based on flat-images of freeze-framed videos. I'd be curious to know if my observation has some truth to it, or is it a case of "nice try but no cigar". :)
This is one of the fastest growing channels on RUclips! I've been here since 40,000 and now Devin has got 168,000 subs! Fantastic!
Same It is so exciting to see where this channel is going. I subbed for all the creative 3D doodle pens, but stayed for the awesome 3D printing!
Shiroi Hana you can also check "RClifeOn" channel , if you are interested in 3d printing , it is an awesome channel
I know two that are growing faster. Seqena: 3D pen art. Xabio Arts: art and comedy channel with dank memes
You should check em out they're pretty cool.
Jake Arandz Yes!! same for me!!!!
No mistakes only happy accidents.
then im a happy accident :D
McDubstep05 sounds like something Bob Ross would say
Bob Ross did say that
BUBBLES!!! This would be great as 3d printed bubble wands!
If you print another spiral pinhead, attach them both to the stick in opposite directions and spin both wheels in opposite directions you'll get some crazy cool interferance patterns generated by both wheels! This was my first thought when I saw the video, and I'll def print that as a decoration once I get a printer...
I gasped out loud at some of the effects, they are SO cool
All of these pinwheels are super cool but the bubbles one is my favorite! :D
I freaking love solidworks. I used the flex feature to make labels to wrap around cylinders.
3D printing fan + artist is the best combination possible, you always have the most exciting ideas of all! Skating in style
This is why I'm subscribed to you. Hats of to you, Devin.
"Twist container" - why not just call it a screw?
I really like the pink/white/cyan layering on that one flower :-)
I propose to you a challenge good sir: Make a two-step pinwheel. Put three smaller pinwheels equal distance apart on the edge of the large pinwheel and rotate them 90 degrees so that they are perpendicular to the main one. You have enough imagination and skill to do it, I believe in you.
Mind = blown! You're a design master, man! Congratulations!
In illustrator just use the Object>Path>Outline Stroke option to turn strokes into fill
Such a fun summer project... great video
Try printing a soap tray to attach the pin wheel, so when it spins it blows bubbles
More pinwheel videos PLEASE!!
I wonder what a giant printed pinwheel would do during a hurricane lol
You're so smart and creative! idk how you come up with this stuff.
These are very cool. Great work!
Blender can do this by going into edit mode, then select the top face, and rotate how ever much you want.
Yay I'm a 'FAN'. 😅
He called it a fan in the video
you forgot **ba-dum-tss**
you should try blender. It's an item software meant for modelling, animating, images and simulations. it has an extremely steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it is extremely powerful. you computer's power is the limit, literally
Yea.. I got overwhelmed the first time I tried to learn Blender :|
It also has a game engine and a video editor. I use it for all of my 3D/Animation/Video Editing.
And all of that combined makes it an imitating program. They should really do something about that
Would be neat to see him try it. Been blendering stuff and uploading to Thingiverse, although I'm short of having a 3D printer of my own. (*shrug*)

Great idea, I'll definitely have to try to come up with a design or two! Great work
I love your videos! Can you make a series where you teach the very basics of fusion 360? I really want to do some 3D printing, but don't know how to start fusion 360, but I do have some experience with tinkercad
Try making a traditional style pinwheel with the heated bed effect!
can you make a wind turbine?
Always super impressed by your creativity and ingenuity! Keep up the great work!
DUDE. you need to put those into bubble mixture and video them creating bubbles. :)
great job man! i wish i had this imagination to create all the things you do
i have a great idea with the flex tool is to make a twist container that can blow a ball up
could you try and design something where if you look at it from one angle it looks one color and then if you look at it from another it appears to be a different color like you'd be looking at the same surface but depending on what angle you viewed it from it would look different colored, but like do it as a whole project specifically for that illusion.

Ouch.. that hurts my head :O
Cool projects you're working on, congrats on getting into CAD!
Really cool idea. Now I just wish I have a 3D printer.
Yet another super creative idea! Your vids definitely ARE inspiring - thanks!
I love your shirt. So cool!
yep, definitley unique.
You should seriously consider trying 3D printing some skateboard accessories! Thanks :)
These are quite cool.
AMAZING!
Got this idea from another comment but i say it so you see it.
Try to put bubble water on the windmill with holes so it makes bubbles!
This is sooo amazing. You're really creative.
Hey Devan! I was wondering if you could try designing and printing a quick release mechanism for a camera tripod!
hey dev
i was curious
since you managed to make some pretty tough springs in your spring'o video
could you make something spring powered?
it is an added challenge to create something more mechanically complex and really push the limits of your creativity (and printer) :D
cheers
This pin wheels look amazing. My wife wants me to make some now.
hey, if you make enough, you could SELL these things, and i mean ALL of your creations.
a bearing for this? a metal insert would have been enough - just make sure that there is no real pressure applied.
Also while skate-bearings under normal circumstances do need lubricants - here you have no load at all so you can just ignore it.
looks like that technique could be used to make grids for limiting the light on a flash... :) nice.
Hey your really cool at making things with the 3D printer!
DEFINITELY printing this for my longboard!! :-) :-) :-)
Awesome like always!! Stay inspired!
Isnt Solid Works like a bunch of money? Maybe you could use the student version but idk. It also apparently uses a ton of computer space too?
Creates pinwheels that look like fidgets spinners....
Zombie amass on his lawn to relish in an pray to the glory..... and then steal them!
Hey devan!
So i saw your shirt and got an idea. What if you'd make a design but only take the make anything logo and delete the text beneath it. You could leave it in the middle, or put it on a pocket. :)
You're like the bob ross of 3D printing.
I see you have an Anycubic 3D printer. I also have also have the same printer Could you do a video on some modifications for the printer? Thanks!
Try to make a puzzle with 3D printed parts!
Hi Devin, great video as always ! :D (For what I already saw of it, at least!) Your talent and creativity seem to have no limit, that makes me both amazed and jealous 😂 I believe your skills are quite unique, if a high tech company discovers you, they'll immediately try to hire you, trust me !
All your projects seem to be perfect and always successful (even though we can see all the work in behind). Would you do a video where you present all your failed projects ? :) (if there are any ?)
Tomorrow starts my week of final exams for highschool, any chance you'd wish me good luck? ;)
Good luck on your exams! I share all my projects, I just keep working on failures until something works :P
Make Anything // 3D Printing Channel Thanks! Okay, I believe we can now call you god, if you do share all yours projects and that so little of them fail! That's freakin impressive 😳 I have a question, since you graduated, do you have a job in a company or is RUclips your only income ?
can you do more stuff with a 3d pen? I have one but I haven't gotten any ideas.
why is 8 degrees close to 45 degrees in solidworks?
well I'm prety sure that it spins whole thing by 1 degree and 45 degrees he mentioned was about overhang, or something like that
the tool gives the shape an 8deg spin around its axis, which equates to a slope of around 45deg
The bottom and the top of the twisted shape are 8° off by a rotation. The slope in the edges gets steeper and steeper as you go out from the center
oh right I understand now! thanks for the responses :D
oooohhh these were really cool
Could you have used a mandala art maker program to make it more symmetrical?
Haven't looked at the comments yet, but i think most of the comments are "MAKE A FUDGET SPUNERR!!!!111"
what he really needs is a 3D printed razor
How about a twist container with different compartments?
Devin is a pretty cool guy
can you make a tutorial for the flex tool on f360 because most of your makers viewers don't have access to solid works and it seems to be a very usefull tool
Right before he did the twist thing the flower would have made a good cookie cutter shape
Oh my goodness are you selling these? I want one!!!
put some rice or something in an object mid print top create a cool custom rattle
How hard would it be to convert that into a tiny windmill?
You make me into 3D printning thanks
Devon what printer do you use most often for your projects? This video for instance.
I guess you could say they were 3D PINted
make a battery charging system and hook it up with a garden lamp so it lights the path at night?
Can u printe half of a person on your 3D printer and then finish the other half with a 3D pen.
I want Make Anything swag
oh! make a pinwheel that makes an animation when recorded on a camera!
Would love to see you use these to generate some electricity in a future video maybe?!
you could do intro where your name is printed by the 3d printer
you always have suchs awesome ideas
slowly you begining to be on my top5 fav channel... really good job my "whale" printer :)
devin I have a problem I wanted to print the spiral pinwheel and I sliced it with cura
and if I print it, it printed many dots and not smooth lines so I canceled the print.
what did I wrong??
Maybe you can make an flying fidget spinner like this.
you should make an etsy to sell 3d printed stuff like this
+Madison Campbell Devinmontes.com/store
Nice idea, shame you have to use Solidworks which is out of the reach of many hobbyists; surely there is a way to do it in Fusion 360?
Actually I've just figured out you can do it in Fusion in sculpt mode by creating a t spline extrusion, then use the manipulate tool to select the front edges and then rotate about the centre.
Inkscape would be more accessible for people IMHO.
Then export to openscad and its already extruded and in STL
ever dipping ur pin weels in bubble salutation
You should try animation with this
Welcome to the next trend
speaking of bearing can you make 3d bearing?
I saw your video and wanted to see if it was possible to do in Fusion 360 for those who don't have Solidworks, and I figured out a way to do these pinwheels if you wanted to know.
I want to know!
tomorrow I know what to print :)
At 4:42 so don’t yell at me if that’s what happens but make a big one to decorate your house
Hey Devin, can you make a fidget spinner spin into a twist container? I've been trying for weeks on Fusion 360, but had no luck.
Hey Devin I'm in 7th grade going in to 8th and for my tech ed class we used INVENTOR to create models almost like the ones you used and did
When I just went on the video I didn’t know what a a pin wheel was
Hey Devin- Could you theoretically make a zoetrope pinwheel with this method?
Also in inspired by your creations that's why I got a 3D pen
