I've had a couple of people comment that they would like the STL's for the bottom and top for the assembly. I've now posted the link to download both of them in the description. Please let me know if there are any problems getting these. The models have the NPT threads already rendered so all you have to do is print them. I would recommend printing them with the threads vertical so that you don't have a lot of supports to remove afterwards.
That’s really awesome and I’m glad to hear it. If you have any suggestions, criticism, or things you’d like to learn about, please feel free to comment.
I had wondered if anyone had a problem with the construction like I did, but maybe no one cared since it's just fun to watch Adam Savage anyway. I'm glad you liked the solution! Thanks for watching.
Found this video after watching Adam's video. This is Very cool! Awesome find on all of the loc line parts to minimize gluing. I would love to get ahold of the STLs for the connectors to have a try at making my own.
You're not the first one to ask, so I just posted the link to download the STL's. Let me know if you have any issues with downloading. Thanks for watching!
I watched Adam's video yesterday about updating his Loc-Line and was looking to make one of my own but didn't want to deal with the resin. Thank you for sharing this video.
Awesome, I'm glad it helped! I've thought about sharing the models for people to download, but never posted them. I'm not sure where the best place to share would be anyway. If you are interested I can figure something out.
Hello from Germany, I'm currently building this Loc-Line lamp, but it's much longer than yours. I use the large 3/4 inch version and the length is 120 cm. My problem is stability and would like to know what type of wire Adam used. Maybe you know a solution. ...Tom
Mine is about 36" or ~90 cm and I still have some issues at certain angles. It will fall because of all the weight from the leverage of holding an object out that far. As far as the wire he used, are you talking about his lamp video or the phone holder one?
@@themeandrousengineer Hi, thanks for the fast reply! I mean the video with the lamp. Adam used aluminum wire for reinforcement in the video. He calls it anchor wire. But there are many different types of this wire. I tried with 6mm aluminum wire, but the Loc-Line tilts forward. This is a type of craft wire in german wie call it "Ankerdraht". I own a cinema in Germany and I want to use the lamps to illuminate my goods. Best regards Tom
I watched the old lamp video you were referring to and he called it armature wire. I did a quick search on google here and there were several variations on Amazon, but I don't know if you have access there to Amazon. I've tried to search hardware suppliers in Europe before and I have no idea where to start. It's typically sold in art supply stores here. Here are a couple of links but I don't know if you can ship it to you economically. Amazon: shorturl.at/ltwzM Dick Blick Art Supplies: www.dickblick.com/products/blick-armature-sculpture-wire/
@@themeandrousengineer Thank you for researching this especially for me. I'll try to find the right wire for myself through your links, the only problem is that the wire doesn't bend too easily. Unfortunately I don't have much knowledge of wire, I'm a trained carpenter. If you don't mind, I will tell you about the result. Thanks for everything...Tom I subscribed you 😃
@@kinotom3639 Thanks for subscribing! Yeah, please let me know how it goes. Honestly I didn't know about the wire that Adam added to his lamp to stiffen it up so I'll probably be trying it too.

I´m learning a lot about engineering with your videos, keep doing what you are doing coz it is fantastic!
That’s really awesome and I’m glad to hear it. If you have any suggestions, criticism, or things you’d like to learn about, please feel free to comment.
Nice solution to an obvious problem. Also that you get rid of the cable that can hang in the way. A new look at the matter.

Thanks so much! Look forward to following along on more builds.
Neat
Thank you!

This is a huge upgrade to what Adam did, will probably be making some of these 👍👍
Awesome. I hope it works for you. Let me know how it works out. I use mine to film a lot of things for this channel
@@themeandrousengineer Yes indeed, we'll probably use it to film some build processes.

Quick clamp! That’s way too fiddly!
Ha. You’re not wrong. I’ve managed to use this one quite a bit but I fully plan on making another adaptor for a quick clamp version
