  • Adam puts together the very complex and intricate assembly of 3D printed and machined parts for his NASA ACES spacesuit helmet replica. This helmet includes contributions from multiple makers, including The Broken Nerd, Punished Props, and Shawn Thorsson. And as is sometimes the case with a One Day Build, this build isn't without its complications.

      Hey adam, could you someday design a simple DIY spacesuit and actually test it in a vaccum chamber? It would be so nice to see what you came up with given your experiences with spacesuits.

      Adam Savage’s Tested Not sure if Adam knows about it. But Tamiya has a new line of masking tape that is very much like the pin striping tape. It is very thin. Comes in multiple widths. And is extremely flexible! Great for markings curves! I’ve used it and it’s great stuff!

    Hi Adam,
    A tip for everyone when mixing paints -
    Get a good supply of syringes from the drug store. Then you can mix exacting amounts of your colors.
    This is also a lot cleaner & does not leave paints dribbling down the outside of containers.
    If you make records of the quantities as you go it will be a lot easier to re-make that particular color again in the future. Otherwise it is a bugger to try and match them again.
    Make more than you need and keep the leftovers in another container. This will help for touch-ups later on or to help color match a new batch of paint / lacquer.
    When spraying, get a card or scrap sheet to fire a test on first. This will help to get your "Spray Fan" and "Flow Volume" correct before attacking your new-to-be loved project.

    • @carliegriffiths6290
      @carliegriffiths6290 5 лет назад +6

      this is great technique. my partner is a classic car restorer, so has to often custom mix paints, as the original paint code doesn't take into consideration the different formulas of modern colour tints, and also the way that paint ages. Unless you are doing a full respray, there is always a tweak to get the right colour match. you can log it in a book, with the customers name, so if they need something else doing later, you have done the brain work already.

    The ACES is my favorite suit of American space flight, it has a unique look to it, it’s industrial it’s designed for a specific job, it’s not meant to be glamorous or the star of attention but that’s what I love about it, it’s the suit you’d imagine a space shuttle crew would wear, shuttling cargo to orbit in a sci-fi movie in a weathered worn shuttle craft wearing their pumpkin suits, I can imagine them in a space port standing out in a crowd or in a seedy space port bar wearing them having drinks and awaiting for a cargo load.

    Can you do a video explaining how the real helmet would seal? You've spoken about how complicated the locking systems on the real articles are in a couple other videos, and even if it's not possible to recreate the tolerances without significantly more intensive equipment, it would be really cool to understand the concept that allows, for example, the edge of the clear face shield to seal and maybe how the bar helps that happen? These are all awesome builds man, thanks for doing them!

    if you do get overspray, we use shark paper in high end finishing. also use cling wrap to cover large rounded or odd shaped portions and tape it to the tape. also the more red you have the brighter it will dry, the more black the darker it will dry. I am surprised you do not mix your own paints by now, its fairly simple use a good quality scale to weight out your pigments. then you can tailor it to what ever application works best(IE stain, or solid, oil, lacquer, or water based.....never use water based on wood, stick to laquer) always always always remove your tape right after the paint flashes.

    One trick about using tape, you will get a lot crisper line and less bleed if you first paint the base color after taping, then shoot the color you want. Base color, white in this case fills up the tape edges where it may have lifted etc.

    As someone who has mixed a lot of paint in my younger life at a hardware store, you never want to match the color until the paint you are making is dried. Due to the drying process the pigment darkens. I am really really surprised (unless it for some reason doesn't work like this with his pigments), that Adam didn't take this into consideration. Adam has made so many incredible projects in his life, I am absolutely positive that he knows about the process I am talking about. TL:DR I'm confused... lol

    Ah, you haven't heard/seen the 3d-print news! OK, not all that new of news.
    A fellah has come up with a Cura profile that prints clear solid parts!
    Lenses, prisms, clear windows.
    Done it myself with clear PLA.
    50 micron layer height, 110% material flow rate, 15-20 mm/sec print speed, somewhat elevated nozzle temps, LOTS of cooling.
    The idea is that when layer #419 is being printed, it is also re-melting layer #418 and melting partly into layer #417. All this overlapping fusion makes for a truly solid part.
    The over-extrusion eliminates bubbles and voids, but the surface quality of the parts suffers. Lots of excess material ends up on the surface of the part.
    The surface looks scabby after printing, but remove the 'rind' and the interior looks like glass!
    I haven't gotten any of my attempts to be 'lens clear' yet, more tweaking to come, but I can clearly read text through 7mm of printed PLA!
    The downside is ridiculously long print times!

    • @athens400
      @athens400 5 лет назад

      I don’t get why people get so riled up over the word sewist. Language is an evolving thing and as the sewing makers find the english vocabulary lacking of an appropriate word for a person who sews they make one up. There are several reasons why one would avoid the word seamstress:
      It’s gender specific.
      It doesn’t traditionally include the creative process but rather only the manufacturing. I.e. one who operates the sewing machine, not the one who creates the garment. The machine operator at a car factory isn’t a car maker.
      Seamstress also generally means sewing as a profession, excluding the hobbyist.
      Dressmaker doesn’t cut it because that’s limited to women’s clothing or at best general clothing.
      What you should be advocating if sewist gets under your skin is the word SEWER which is a word, is in the dictionary and all that jazz. Plus it has the added bonus of being a heteronym with the poop and pee kind of sewer.
      Me, I kinda like sewist. There is certainly a need for it.

    Add a hematite bead to your paint jars and they work like a shaky spray can, Mixes faster with less shaking. I also paint the top so the color is easier to see when racked.For bends like the aluminum bar, make male and female forms from MDF, lay the bar across the female form, and push the male form down into it. You will get some springback, so it won't be perfect, but it gets you 90% of the way with a nice smooth curve.
