I love how you are showing EVERYTHING in the process. Lil steps, trains of thoughts, failures, trials and errors. This is amazing, and it represents really well the whole experience of DIY-ing with electronics
This was, pardon the pun, riveting. The project alone is fantastic enough, but so is your presenting, filming, editing. Thank you so much for sharing all the ups and downs of this process!
If I built a functioning model of Clank, but someone said it didn’t count because I 3D printed the parts, I would still have a functioning model of Clank
I see 3D printing as another tool in my tool box. My animatronic Spider-cat face started as a 3D print, but after sanding, smoothing, and then sculpting the back of the head and the mask I had to create a mold from that and cast a hollow resin version which was painted and then I added the fur before I considered the head to be done.
You are an ABSOLUTE BEAST! I think I would have absolutely lost my "resin" and "rage quit" with all the hurdles you hit. You, however, powered through and made an absolutely wonderful animatronic build! Congratulations! You are a better, more patient, maker than I. Truely wonderful build!
"In the competition between the rock and the stream the stream always wins; not by sheer force but by determination" So happy to see this project come to life and your dedication towards pushing through all the trials involved. R&C holds a special place in my heart as my dad and I used to play it together and that time is filled with happy memories. Thank you for sharing this detailed look behind the scenes!
He is adorable and you did an amazing job! I mean, wow! So many people would've given up! You had a lot happen! I am unfamiliar with this Clank character, but now I want to see that film. His head looks like the Iron Giant! You are awesome! Make more stuff!
I'm glad you stuck with it on this, Clank is really a blast from the past for me. You did a truly great job, and you handled the speed bumps like a champ. Thank you for sharing, I really appreciate it.
Absolutely phenomenal work. I like how you showed all of the mistakes and stuff that you had along the way, watching you overcome them is very impressive.
Regarding your scare with the clank files, always remember the 3-2-1 rule. Three copies of every file, on two different forms of media, one of which is off site. Off site doesn't necessarily have to mean out of the house, it just means stored away from the computer. So like a backup server in your basement for example. I learned about that in college.
I think one way you might save yourself from a lot of headaches with the cable tension from the displays, is using flat flex cables or flexible PCB’s. They’re less stiff than the ribbon cables, and can be more easily tucked into a sheath or tube and be out of the way. Another option in the future is to put a daughterboard in the head itself, so you only need one cable for power data. That will add more weight to the head of course, but having a rigid shaft with a ball joint or pivot should take most of the weight off the servos.
Wow, a beautifully done project! I love it! I remember once, about 20 years ago, I was suddenly unable to access my main hard drive, on which was a large programming project. I literally felt as if cold water had been poured over me. Terror! I will never forget it. (I later recovered most of the files and, since then, I have been pretty meticulous with backups!) Thanks for the videos!
Such a good description, that’s EXACTLY how I felt. Dread, panic, disappointment all wrapped up in one wave of icy water. It took so long for me to be calm enough to record anything. Props to my boyfriend who came home in the middle of the spiral and had to talk me off a figurative ledge
I'm glad you picked Clank and documented the process. I never got to play any Ratchet and Clank games after they moved away from the PS2 (except for size matters and secret agent clank), but my brother bought me rift apart and thank god it came out on pc. I had so much fun playing a Ratchet and Clank game again and no one I know cares about Ratchet and Clank.
Very nice build! The first thing I thougt when you introduced the idea of fixing the head part with screws onto the lower part: You will never reach these screws when all is inside. Why I noticed instantly? It happened to me multiple times ... 😀
My word you have some tenacity in the face of adversity, but this is how we learn, fresh new achievements are just failures followed by problem solving, you got there, well done! I gave up on a stereo lighting rig recently, now I feel inspired to dust it off and try again.
I believe that if you spray the spray paint upside-down, after a bit it will just spray aerosol and not paint, and you can release some pressure in the can so it doesn't spray so forcefully. At least that's what I do for other aerosols like spray adhesive, and it works a charm.
Thank you for documenting your build process. I built an animatronic Spider-cat that sits in a back pack last year using a similar design. I have been thinking of doing some upgrades and this video has been helpful.
This is such an incredible example of trial and error and perseverance, with an incredible end product. Congratulations!! You should be extremely proud.
The level you’re going to here is pretty deep. Facing things like design for assembly/disassembly, learning what will be strong enough, etc. this is valuable experience for a professional in mechatronics though in your last video you said you are a professional animator. Clearly it’s been difficult but I hope to see what’s next as you build on this experience. ☮️
For future projects, maybe look into heatset inserts. I used to do the same thing you did of cutting out a section for the nut on the retaining side but they were always difficult. IDK if it will work for resin offhand but I still recommend trying them. Keep up the good work!
So awesome. Obviously no CNC machine just lying around since having a few of the structural parts made of aluminum instead of plastic would probably have done wonders. Here is to many more subs and sponsors showering the channel with tools and machinery.
Being in product design and innovation for 25 years, Dominica I hope you appreciate how impressive this is! We have dedicated experts for mechanical, electrical, software and model making. Amazing and inspiring to see how you solved all the challenges in all these disciplines. With an awesome result 🤩. Thanks for sharing!
You are an amazing young lady. I have recently discovered your page and you have blown me away with your skills and tenacity. Kind regards from a talentless brit. Keep up the great work.
Wow I feel that so much when one part of a project gets stuck and while fixing it you find more and more and more and moooreee things that are flawed or broken -.- kudos for not giving up and getting your shit together to finish this amazing project and thank you for sharing the real progress and not just cutting it out and make it look easy and flawless! It nakes it more relatable, more genuine and it shows what it really takes besides the technical knowledge to build a *project*!
Wow, what an emotional ride. Can't help but feel super proud of you for seeing this one through. I've only done smaller projects so far and can feel some of the frustration, but this is everything dialled up to 11. And I'm sure there was A LOT of fiddling, trying, failing and ultimately succeeding that you didn't even put in the video. And all that ON TOP of filming and cutting it into this gem. Wow.
So much was cut out. I tried to include the important failures and cut the rest as not to bore everyone with overly negative speedbumps. Thank you for watching!
Very cool project! As a designer I offer that while designing these projects you always need to design with ease of assembly in mind. You have done a great job and I'm sure you advanced your insight in all disciplines.
Really nice work! I do a lot of 3D modeling and printing and I can relate to everything you went through. I spend more time figuring out how to fix my mistakes and anything else.
Excellent project, and thank you for leaving in the mistakes and lessons learned! Try mixing in flexible resins, like SirayaTech Tenacious, to give your parts a bit more durability. I have gone up to 50% with Tenacious and SirayaTech ABS-like. It has made a huge difference in building Cosplay armor, like the Bad Batch's Tech and his glasses and tools.
Fantastic 🎉👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So glad you were able to regain access to your files 😊 I had a lot of learning on a recent build, upgrading to higher torque servos for my WED-15 droid. Plus designing stuff in 3D and then finding out you missed that bit that has to fit in afterwards 😂, been there/done that 😂 is all part of the journey for creating something new. Great work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have really enjoyed this build project and the way you're presenting it cinematography wise. It's such a great build, and watching the dedication and perseverance as you fight through each challenge is really appreciated. So many folks don't realize how much goes into these kinds of projects. Looking forward to the next one. Iterate till its great!
Hard lessons learned. As a rule nowadays if I'm in the middle of a project I avoid updating software/OS unless there's some obviously broken stuff going on. And make sure I backup that stuff HARD STYLE. I too learned those lessons the hard way 👀
For more durable resin, I add some flexible resin mixed in. I believe Uncle Jesse has tested the amount of flex to regular resin for durability. Larger the print, the harder they fall.
I truly love your new hair style. With that being said could you please, please, please, do a Battle Warrior Tinker Bell cosplay with working moving wings!!!🤩💯👍👍🙏 ❤😊
I love cosplay so much but never dabbled. Been doing 3D printing for 6 years now. I really ought to get into it. I love this project so much, ratchet and clank has always been one of my favorite games. Great job, so many hours of work must have gone into this.
Amazing work! I had a similar problem with my first version of NE-Five/MacFeegle Prime, I had a Raspberry Pi and motor controller in his head and the wires coming out of the back of his skull was that stiff if he looked up his head would pop off! Could be worth looking for silicone coated wires, they're much more flexible. Keep up the good work!
You're a stronger person than me. I probably would have just died if I had to do that mac transfer BS you had to do. This is why I am not a programmer/cad guy
I just got recommended your build a clank videos girl you need to do more videos like this plus your cosplay I’m surprised you haven’t been doing this for long like 3 years and not a lot of videos I’m gonna subscribe
I love the solution you used with the bolt embedded into the plastic. I remember them in the prusa all the time, I forgot how useful they are. Have you looked at the heat set threaded inserts? I don't know if they work with resin, probably not, but they are an alternative you can use to have rigid screw points. The B roll was amazing too. Loved the mount on the back and being able to carry it. Now you got me curious if you could detect someone near by so clank could look at it, i'm frantically searching lidar and radar and motion sensors. I love how creative projects get the creative juices going.
Great work! it's been really fun to watch you work through the engineering process. PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSE //don't// rattle can spray paint indoors without an extractor! The particles from painting can stay in the air for a LOOOOONG time after painting when you'll probably have removed your respirator. It may not seem like a big deal but the effects from regularly breathing spray paint can be devastating even after only a few years. Aside from that you'll also probably have better adhesion and smoother surfaces if you move your spraying back a bit. Good luck and please be safe!
u dont have to re-print him. just super glue and baby powder then mix resin with baby powder to geather and put over the area and just sand it. and doing that is a good way to make thigs very smooth. :)
I don't think I would have held myself together the way you did when you things when South and it looked like you lost your files. I get so overwhelmed when I start to think about starting over on a project. In the end, you did a great job, so I hit that subscribe button.
I don't suppose you plan to release the final 3d print model either on patreon or on your Instagram? In any case, I'm very envious of your skills, great job bringing clank to life.
I think his eyes should have been a little bigger but aside from that it looks amazing! Are you done with it or do you plan to add some voice lines, etc?
I'd like to, there's a way to do it with the Maestro, but I'm currently still researching how the code would work with both an auto-start and physical buttons
this is very ambitious. u have so much space available in the head that it seems simpler to dump an ESP32 in there and control that via ESP-NOW in the base or vice versa. (I think there are 2 SPI interfaces available, if not... use I2C.) That way you only need to run power up to the head, and you even have enough space in there to stuff a battery as well. raspbooper pi also gonna suck down p-p-p-p-power like thars no tomorrow
Definitely thought about it. I need the LLM to get a little faster. Currently id have to run separate programs to do the regular LLM, but then run the text through an ai voice changer to Clank’s, then have it respond with the audio. I fear it’d be too slow and too much computing for a pi. But ai is progressing so fast I’m sure it’ll be a possibility soon
@@SundaySlaysCosplay Use a Latte Panda, get some better processing and a built-in GPU. Honestly, I'm trying to build a Clank like you but have it have movement with 3D printed actuators in the arms and legs with a flywheel inside his belly for stability. It's going to be bigger than yours I'm sure just because of the actuators, but could I maybe get your files for reference on the body and head?
That's gotta be the most realistic Clank model I have ever seen
I love how you are showing EVERYTHING in the process. Lil steps, trains of thoughts, failures, trials and errors. This is amazing, and it represents really well the whole experience of DIY-ing with electronics
An engineering masterclass, you've got everything: electrical, mechanical and computing. Love it.
This was, pardon the pun, riveting. The project alone is fantastic enough, but so is your presenting, filming, editing. Thank you so much for sharing all the ups and downs of this process!
Couldn't of said it any better !
If anyone else says to me "3d printing is cheating", I'm just showing them this video and part 1. Very inspiring and amazing result.
3D printing is like model-building, except you don't get a kit and the part might not work.
anyone who says "3d printing is cheating" has never tried to get a 3D printer to work right
If I built a functioning model of Clank, but someone said it didn’t count because I 3D printed the parts, I would still have a functioning model of Clank
I see 3D printing as another tool in my tool box.

I would just laugh at them. 🤷😜
A tip for painting metallic paint, if you pay a gloss black underneath first it makes it really shiny, at least from my testing
yep. if you want a good silver print, use black resin, not grey.
@@zigfaust I think finish also is important, smooth/gloss as it helps align the metallic flakes in the paint
Who doesn't love clank. You have created a master piece of reality , youe awesome 👌 😊, thank you for clank 🎉
You are an ABSOLUTE BEAST! I think I would have absolutely lost my "resin" and "rage quit" with all the hurdles you hit. You, however, powered through and made an absolutely wonderful animatronic build! Congratulations!
You are a better, more patient, maker than I.
Truely wonderful build!

Good idea
I can just see all your next inventions now! you're going to go so far. Please keep making these amazing videos
Really nice work! I do a lot of 3D modeling and printing and I can relate to everything you went through. I spend more time figuring out how to fix my mistakes and anything else.

Liked, subbed, and now we need to craft Clank an extra body in black & white, so Secret Agent Clank can go around in his tuxedo!
This is amazing! The final reveal was something else! Good on you for sticking with it through all the pain!
That was fantastic! Thanks for sharing the build.
As someone who worked on Clank's model and design for the game, this was so fun to see! Great work!
So cool! Glad it reached you
Hard lessons learned. As a rule nowadays if I'm in the middle of a project I avoid updating software/OS unless there's some obviously broken stuff going on. And make sure I backup that stuff HARD STYLE. I too learned those lessons the hard way 👀
Always always always have a separate drive for your operating system, one for your files with a backup, and one for programs/games.
Looks fantastic! Great showing of iterative design too... damn good work!
emotional rollercoaster , respect for determination
This is so cool! Wow! Congrats for persevering through all the hiccups, because it looks so awesome at the end!
Incredible work and dedication.
Ow, I could so relate to that "lost the files because of no backups during OS upgrade" mental meltdown phase. Glad it eventually worked out for you!
For more durable resin, I add some flexible resin mixed in. I believe Uncle Jesse has tested the amount of flex to regular resin for durability. Larger the print, the harder they fall.
looks awesome and wish i had one of my own!! An idea for future upgrades: some sort of motion sensing so that he actually looks at people.
This is really great. Thank you for sharing the process.

This is fantastic!!! By far my favorite Sony game since I had a PS2 in high-school.
I love the solution you used with the bolt embedded into the plastic. I remember them in the prusa all the time, I forgot how useful they are.
Have you looked at the heat set threaded inserts? I don't know if they work with resin, probably not, but they are an alternative you can use to have rigid screw points.
The B roll was amazing too. Loved the mount on the back and being able to carry it.
Now you got me curious if you could detect someone near by so clank could look at it, i'm frantically searching lidar and radar and motion sensors. I love how creative projects get the creative juices going.
I was told its best to dip your metallic paintcans in warm or hot water so its not as thick
You both look amazing in the final shots
So good. Amazing engineering and artwork.
This is amazing!!!
Great work! it's been really fun to watch you work through the engineering process. PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSE //don't// rattle can spray paint indoors without an extractor! The particles from painting can stay in the air for a LOOOOONG time after painting when you'll probably have removed your respirator.

I spray paint in an open shed that’s outside but covered, and I leave the area while it’s drying. Thanks for your safety concerns though!
Oh my gosh that is so cool! R&C was my first game that got me into gaming and seeing this was awesome.

raspbooper pi also gonna suck down p-p-p-p-power like thars no tomorrow
These are perfect videos I started watching the channel with clank videos and that is definitely a subscription worthy channel
ca glue and primer for the head.
You should put a raspi with a LLM in it, and tell it to behave like clank. Then you could have conversations, which would be awesome!
Definitely thought about it. I need the LLM to get a little faster. Currently id have to run separate programs to do the regular LLM, but then run the text through an ai voice changer to Clank’s, then have it respond with the audio.
