I'm gonna be totaly honest: I always get lost at about 30secs but I also am amazed by every new version you show, thanks for braking my brain once again.
Haha, I’m glad that you’ve been enjoying the updates!
Having made an OTF knife, l am blown away by your speed of iterations and creativity. This is beautiful work and I will definitely support you financially in this endeavor. Thank you so much for making this open source. Keep it up!
Thank you! I'm already at coffee shop this morning for next model iterations (as has been my weekends the past few months haha)
You went over the top on the OTF mechanism but the best part about this entire blade is the spine that runs down the middle of it when you shared that in the video before this I was in awe it takes the wiggle room completely out of it. So now you have a paper thin blade that isn't going anywhere. These OTF locking mechanisms are extremely complicated but very cool I don't know what to make of these frog leg locks.
They are complicated haha, I was really getting creative to make these thinner than any other dual action hidden blades out there, you may enjoy my episode 5 mono layer hidden blade as its thinner and does away with the frog-legs
Combining a concept weapon from centuries ago with current technology is so bizarre, yet so awesome. That's a really nice design.
Glad you’re liking the progress dude!! It has been a real challenge but a good exercise in creativity for sure 😅
Even though I find your designs to be absolutely beautiful and extremally cool. I do believe that from a machining perspective, that many of the parts are nearly impossible to make from metal. but still very cool
Yea totally dude! So the blade is specifically designed to be milled or poured in metal; the compliant mechanism would be reinforced nylon for longevity; the body could be metal but would be pretty hard to mold with its intricacies
@@CrashMakerspace I believe that the body can be milled/CNC without to much modification. However as you mention, the compliant mechanisms are the hard part and would need to be made of something like nylon. (I really look forward to see how you evolve this design in the next video)
@@squirrelarmy9890 doing a bit of material analysis would be good for my next one! I’ll jot that down to include
You sir are a genius engineer
What you're doing is awesome, the most accurate hidden blade I've seen so far, truly amazing how you're taking the endeavour of making something this accurate into your own hands. The iterating and improving on previous designs is also very impressive. Can't wait to see the result you're happy with, and I'd be a customer of the finished result.
Thanks dude! It has been a good exercise in creativity for sure; I’m hoping to post episode 5 in a couple weeks when my new printer finally arrives as my last one broke down :o
soon he will finish the hidden blade design, adapt it for metalic version and he will be the founder of the assassin brotherhood. master assassin crash makerspace xD
this is pretty crazy. First time I've seen any mechanism like it. I'm super excited to see where this goes.
Stoked that you like it! I’m trying to go outside the box to get mechs down to single layers so they aren’t so bulky
Holy shit this was a beautiful way of utilizing compliant mechanisms! Amazingly interesting video, thanks for making it!
That's great to hear man, thanks for dropping a comment, and glad that you liked it!
You really have caught my attention with this and love the work you are putting in!! Keep it up and can't wait to see what is next
Thanks for letting me know, it great to have you along with the progress!!
Keep up the good work man . Leonardo Da Vinci will be proud
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks dude!!
Hope everything is going well sir. Love your work, every episode I am impressed.
I’m glad you like the updates, thanks for sharing! I’ve had serious shipping delays via getting a new 3D printer as my last broke :/ but I want to get back to updates once that’s in!
cool, ive been tryna make my own but your designs have blown me away
Awesome dude, hopefully this gives you some ideas/concepts for your own!
Man, you are an engineering God, and you help science to evolve by sharing your thoughts and sketches. I want to desire you all of the goods things that there are in this world. Btw, do you have some engineering background? How do you come up with this concepts? Where did find the information if I may ask. Keep up the great work man!
Thanks man! I started self learning just online early on! I use Blender as my CAD since it’s free and totally does the job haha - for this mechanism I didn’t have any concepts to go off of since I knew I needed something totally new to get the thinnest AC mechanism. So I just started imagining!
excited for an extended blade
pretty cool
Huge fan of what you’re doing !!
You should make the blade have enough force to propel itself into an object, not just stab something with it🤷♂️
Yea dude! Constant force through length of ejection and metal blades would be the ultimate goal!! It’s be so fun haha
I love this Video 😊
Good to hear, thanks for sharing!
Awesome
would be cool if you made it bigger and longer if possible it could be mounted on the outside of the arm like in Assassins creed Valhalla
very smart keep up ! Next step METAL please
Do you know when the file will be available for download?
That’s the plan! The blade is specifically designs to be millable for metal stock
Cool! Looks like ultimately it can be lasered from stainless shim sheet
Yep! The compliant bits themselves you'd want to keep plastic (reinforced nylon) for longevity; the blade is specifically designed to be millable for metal stock
Hay, i really love your passion about the designing part. Your drive to find a better solution every time is really inspiring. But i habe a question. Is the model 4, compared to the model 3, more fragile if you use a real blade? There would be more mass you launch and the model 4 but using more fragile and smaller pieces to work.
Good to hear dude, thanks for sharing! This V4 is actually stronger and here's why: Each time you lower the vertical profile you are reducing the leverage of the blade against the top. By having the cover this close to the blade, you are able to have a really strong support. The internal parts are only subject to lateral tensions in range of the elastics which they can handle easily.
is this model less stable, solid or ( in theory ) lethal than the first episode one? i'm looking for a functional model rather than a thin, or a cool one. what would be the best option for me?
i'm also very confuse if is it worth to buy the patreon subscription since they're all prototype, and u said that prototypes are not 100% reliable and also, i can't identify wich models are the one that i'm looking for since they're all censored.
I'm ok with spending money but i want to be sure that it will be worth it
It has potential to be more reliable than the others while being thinner-I publish the blender files source, so you can tweak models if your printer isn’t giving enough tolerance or if you want to add your own flair. Patreon’s newest update doesn’t have the cable mech up top as that is to-be-decided. Posts with bands would work like with the earlier compliant models I made
Will you make character acurate blades and will you ever look into the phantom blade
I might in the future! This is my hobby so no telling what I end up doing lol - that being said; my current challenge remains to make the most functional and low profile blade mechanism possible (that still behaves the way the games do) so it would be doable to style it to look game accurate
@@CrashMakerspace you are amazing I hope you get to do this for a living if this is what you love, I’ve been trying to share your account to as many people as possible
@@ethanspassthanks man, I super appreciate the extra sharing!! And someday it’s be awesome to make money off this I have a full time job of course so this is just in my free time after work-Patreon covers the cost of my 3D printer filament so far though so that’s been super cool!
I liked your designs, but I think my favorite was your OTF version because both the magnetic and this one seem to me like models that only work because the hidden blade uses plastic as a material and takes advantage of the plastic's elasticity to create the locks. I believe this design wouldn't be possible to make with metal, especially the "frog legs".
The frog legs you’d keep plastic! Just like how many components in firearms are better for plastics than metals. Reinforced nylon would be a superior material over metal for these parts and have higher longevity. The blade & locks you’d do metal for full usability
I like that. It's really cool.
Glad you liked the update!!
Great video and very interested in getting one of your blades. Would you consider making a dual blade like in the Predator movies. THANKS
Those could be cool! Duplicate the mechanism and rotate each 90degrees could get something like that for sure. I’ll keep that project in mind for a potential future thing I build!
I'd be very intetested in getting one if you do. THANKS for the reply
Hey there, are you familiar with OTF (Out The Front) knives?
Just wondering. I’m sure you already are but if not, stop what your are doing right now and go online and purchase one.
And inexpensive yet reliable company is RavenCrest tactical.
Just purchase a medium sized one. They are easily disassembled and the engineering side is incredibly simple, but very functional and if you haven’t seen how it works it could very well change how you’re doing everything on this project. I think I might even have an extra one I could just send you. Let me know. 👍🏼😊
Hey! Yes, I'm aware of OTF systems (I talk extensively on pros / cons and analysis of them in previous episodes and how other just build on top of them thereby ending up with very bulky mechs. OTFs are not inherently capable of string-pull-eject and another pull to retract indefinitely. They are so simple as its directional, push > eject, pull > retract which is far simpler than alternation! Hence why I derived this mechanism to accomplish this in a single layer as the first mech to do accomplish this
Do you see a potential end to the cycle of iterative improvements or do you plan on just making it a bit better until the heat-death of the universe?
My end-cycle is having something thin enough with long enough charge distance that it's approached close enough to theoretical possibility of the system. Being as I haven't derived the final design yet, I can't know yet. So universe-end -- here I come.
can you make the springs and stuff also a compliant mechanism?
Compliant mechanisms don't work for long stretches like springs or elastics do. They are great for controlled and precise movements that are typically limited in range of motion
Really cool mechanism! How do you keep the friction so low? I've found that my prints always have a great deal of friction preventing smooth movements like that
With 3D prints it really is a challenge -- I'm just using PLA for prototypes since it is low fuss & cheap while I crank these out. It is really 2 main things, fine printer tuning & perfect tolerance (0.15mm to 0.3mm) have been the sweet spot depending on the motions I'm looking for on my Blender models. I do some light sanding on parts, but nothing more than a few minutes.
I would love you to try and make the hook blade from AC: Revelations. I have only ever seen the Classic blade, the adapted classic blade, and the AC: 3 blade on RUclips
*Quick Edit* most blades use the Scottish Yoke, the scissor lift, or the otf with the lever. Glad to see something new on the playform
Yea totally! Scottish yolk and scissor lifts both make the mechisnm impossible from the start to be less than 1/2” thick (others are 3/4” to 1.2” thick. And I’ll drop the hook blade on a list, seems like a cool challenge!
Can we use metal for the same design? Thatll need to be different I think because springiness, deformations will be different
But very cool design
Yep-specifically designs for metal components! The blade is millable for metal stock; the hammers youd keep with a Nylon-based plastic (no rust and very durable). You wouldn’t want the entire mechanism to be metal; primarily the blade benefits from the added mass
If Noone else will say it then I will. WITCHCRAFT!!! I'll take 4.
Engineering is our closest thing to magic so it checks out lol
What software do you use to desing all the parts with the 3d printer? Is it blender,fusion360........... Thanks
Yep, you got it, it's just Blender!
@@CrashMakerspace Im new to designing and have tried to design stuff, do you use the CAD add ons for design or just default blender? I'm trying to design a hidden blade myself. I got the ideas but design is confusing and frustrating when I can't match the design to my ideas (and thanks for replying)
Just garden-variety Blender! I've become real familiar with the key combos and modifiers. I build all of this just off my MacBook without even a mouse :p Blender is just so darn good once you get the hang of it! I just keep track of all my dimensions and give about 0.2 to 0.1 mm of tolerances of the 3D printer@@bishbosh8913
@@CrashMakerspace thank you so much! Your really smart designs inspire me. Making the little mechanisms are really difficult especially when working from ideas yet you make it seem so easy. God job can't wait for the next hidden blade episode
where can I get the file. just this one
Ive got some early files (including this one just posted) to my Patreon! patreon.com/CrashMakerspace
@CrashMakerspace so if I sub to your Patreon, I can access the file, and then I, in theory, could cancel my sub as I just want to use this one. Is that possible, and still use the file
@@archiedrury2676 yea that should work; these are moving prototypes (I release model updates and alternate parts) which is why I put them on Patreon rather than a CGtrader for example
@@CrashMakerspace thanks
Where can i download this design?
Patreon.com/CrashMakerspace is where I have the 3D files and Blender too for these prototypes
Now hear me out. Have actual engineered hidden blades in the games and use kinetics based animation.
That would look awesome in-game!
Hi! I have a new design of hidden blade that i would like to share with you! But I'm traveling rn and once i build the blueprint i will contact with you on Instagram :>
Yea totally! I don't check DM requests on Instagram / TikTok (I get a lot of random DMs) -- can you email me at calsmakerspace@gmail.com instead for our discussions?
