This is absolutely insane and brilliant. Beautiful video and very satisfying to watch too! Mind if we include your creation in our next episode of Top 10 MOCs of the Week?
i am part of the repair crew of a fully automatic battery factory line. and your line is more complex and way smoother than ours IRL. you are fucking amazing. i salute you engineer
When I saw the time-lapse near the end of the video, I was like Goal: Transport orange LEGO balls Solution: A very complex machine to do it Anyway, nice job! I like the tidiness of the MOC, especially how the pneumatic tubes are arranged (better than how LEGO does it).
Also, it's so lovely to see and hear technics parts in motion, without too much of the sickly 'plastic on plastic grinding sounds my powered kits tend to spew forth. This is almost AMSR for nerds like me.
Well and truly the best GBC I have ever seen I love the industrial setting as and the professional colour scheme and construction of the whole and the individual modules. I really love seeing your industrial looking Lego robot machinery as I'm an engineer and enjoy seeing such things. Good job pal
I love these kind of creations full of pneumatics I would love to get into it a bit more myself but I don't have a lot of pneumatics and the sets they come in are usualy pretty pricey. anyway I love this build and I'm looking forward to a V.3 ;)
This is a very well made contraption! I am impressed. One remark, however: One of the official requirements of a GBC is that it should accept balls at a rate of at least 1 ball per second. This one is way slower than that …
Hi Quanix. It is nice to watch your new version. Last year I spend quite a lot of time by studying your videos (of V1) and trying to build replicas of your manipulators. They worked well. And the new ones look even better. I like particularly the pair of the rotating ones as they are really miniaturized yet fully functional.
Maybe yes. But I do not build only replicas, I try also my own design. Last year, your videos inspired me to experiment with different designs of pneumatic control units. I show one of the prototypes (made in February 2017) in this video - ruclips.net/video/nPvTB9f45Wo/видео.html. Maybe somebody will get inspired.
Yes, I have already experimented with this type of pneumatic control unit. For my PBF machines I decided to use the third crank arm control. No question, it is very potential in your control unit. Maybe I will take your idea as inspiration.
Please make instructions for this, I really want to just buy all the pieces and build it all. I know it would be expensive, but it would be absolutely amazing
Hello Geoff, I know many people want a construction manual, but that would just be too much work! My PBF is too complex to make a construction manual. I just do not have time for that. But I will create videos about the individual modules with many details. Currently I'm working on version 3.0.
great built, but I was thinking, maybe you could add a ball cleaning unit somewhere along the conveyorr? something similar to what akiyuky has made, but perhaps a bit simpler, just spinning some cloth on top of the balls or something. I think that would really add to the machine, then it has a real purpose. Anyway it is a great contraption none the less!
Hi David, After spending some time analyzing the build and learning form your techniques, the last thing that I can not work out is how the chain is attached to the pick and pack module's main head. Can you elaborate how you have done this? Thanks
Hi, That is really easy. You need the chain link with the article number:6047885 and put it in the tech holes. See link. www.dropbox.com/sh/rfx1f4hdcnvtku0/AAD2uh_DkGdPTdOfxVvcg8zSa?dl=0 Greetings David
Wow ich wusste das es kranke Menschen gibt aber so einen wie dich hab ich ja noch nie gesehen finde diese Pneumatic Sachen bei Lego richtig geil aber ich selbst bin dafür zu dumm Respekt dafür
Those loaders are a sight! This is a truly epic creation! How modular is the loading area? How hard would it be to have a row of 4 or 6 loaders all slammin' away? The visual would be nuts!
This is a great creation. Very well-made, and it looks very reliable. Love the clean look of it. However, I hope you won't mind me asking; what camera did you film this with? I'm looking for a 4K capable camera that can handle slowmotion.
Hi, Ich arbeite zurzeit an der PBF 3.0. Ich denke das ich dieses Jahr fertig werde und von den einzelnen Modulen auch Videos machen werde. Viele Grüße, David
Very Nice! I've had something like this in the back of my head for some time now. Questions: What is sourcing the compressed air? Would you consider making this conform to the GBC standard and displaying it along with others at a convention?
Hi Tom, The compressed air comes from an external compressor with 6L air tank. I will eventually attend a convention, but only in Germany. Greetings David
Sorry if someone else asked this before, but why is there a metal cylinder at the top of the long distance Pick-and-place module (at the end of the holder of the pneumatic tubes)? Anyway the build is awesome, I was just curious if it has a function or just decoration.
Hello Ábel Németh, This cylinder is a counterweight to the gripper on the other side of the slider. This is needed so that the carriage is running straight on the guide axes. The counterweight is self-made of stainless steel and no LEGO part.
Amazing build! The timing of the features is perfect, I really like what you did with the servos. The overall refined look gives it the factory presentation I do have some questions: Why are you using 2 power rails (9v & 7.5v), is the 7.5 for the servo motors or to run the m-motors at a slower speed? (i could be wrong on both the points :-) ) What is the part number of the out feed conveyor? Where do you get the long pneumatic hose from (is it standard Lego or after market)? Thanks
Hello Smashings Bricks, Thank you for your message. I am happy to answer your questions: 1. I use the 9V power line for the powerfunction motors (ball feeder, control unit and conveyor belt). The 7.5V power line is exclusive to the servomotors. Due to the split lines, no load peaks occur due to the power of the motors. If I were to use a power line for the motors and the servos, the servos get erroneous currents and twitching or do not drive into the correct end positions. The servos get only 7.5V because they move so they are gentler. 2.I think you mean the conveyor belt of the ball feeder ?! The part number is 92712 3. I buy the tubes on the Internet as meter goods. They are not original LEGO parts. Greetings from Germany, David PS: I work hard on the PBF 3.0 ;-)
Thanks for the reply David. I am looking forward to PBF 3! I'm starting to build my own, thanks for posting some of the instructions it has given me many ideas. If you need a hand making instructions let me know, I use LLD and Blueprint for instructions and made quite a few, including a 12500 piece navel ship! Technic instructions are a little more time consuming because of all of the pins, axles etc. Henry.
Top! Sowohl technisch als auch optisch (Farbschema)! Die transparenten "Klammern" (vermutlich, um die Schläuche bei dem Druck nicht von den Anschlüssen abspringen zu lassen), woher sind die? Und oben an dem hin und her fahrenden Teil ist so ein rundes Metall (Gewicht?). Wozu ist das gut?
Hi, Danke für dein Kommentar. Die transparenten Klammern dienen nur zur Beschriftung bzw. Nummerierung der einzelnen Schlauchleitungen. Diese sind nicht allzu stramm, weshalb Sie die Festigkeit der Schläuche kaum erhöht. Die Beschriftungshülsen sind von der Marke Weidmüller. Das Gewicht an der linear Achse dient dazu, das Gewicht des Greifers auf den Führungsachsen waagerecht zuhalten. Somit fährt der Schieber leichter und ohne sich zu verwinden. Es besteht aus Edelstahl und ist eigenbau. Viele Grüße, David
Trying to decide I feel you're crackpot insanely intelligent, or just crackpot and looking to replace us all with varying degrees of atmosphere in tubular devises! Jk. But seriously, what an amazing device. Inspirational for someone like me just starting out in the hobby.
For reference 4 blue pneumatic pumps will just run the long linear return machine. You need 6 to run robotic arms. You would need 20 plus to run the whole machine.
Hi David. After my pick&place module is dropped the balls to the empty buckets, as soon as the pusher is pusshed the fully bucket to the other belt, the bucket is getting stucked to the other belt :S Is the closer belt to pick&place module little higher than the other belt? Or something else? By the way, i almost duplicated whole modules combined with ball sorter module and created other features and modules etc. Will share it soon. After solving this stucking issue:) Thanks for help in advance. Best regards
Hi Mustafa, No, the conveyor belts are at the same height. You have to use under the carrier two tiles with the part number: 6132886. (Https://www.lego.com/service/bricks/5/2/6132886) These tiles have rounded edges and better sliding over heels. Greetings David
Hallo, Gern beantworte ich dir diese Frage: Ich benutze einen 8 Bar Kompressor mit 6L Lufttank zum betreiben meiner PBF. Bei vollem Tank reicht die Luft für ca. 20min Betrieb. Viele Grüße aus Kassel, David

Thank you for your compliment!
I would be very happy if you presented my MOC there.
Thank you and best regards from Germany,

The most amazing thing in that it's work without NTX - it's pure mechanical! Please BUILD MORE!
i am part of the repair crew of a fully automatic battery factory line. and your line is more complex and way smoother than ours IRL. you are fucking amazing. i salute you engineer
Thanks for your compliment ;-)
Amazing contraption, with some ingenious features, the carousel is my favourite part bizaarly! Well done must of kept you awake at night.
This is genius on so many levels
When I saw the time-lapse near the end of the video, I was like
Goal: Transport orange LEGO balls
Solution: A very complex machine to do it
Anyway, nice job! I like the tidiness of the MOC, especially how the pneumatic tubes are arranged (better than how LEGO does it).

Nice! This is my favorite version so far, I like the editing to.
Wow this is awesome, extra awesome because its pneumatic! 👍
This is a masterpiece, great work!

Hello Dodle,
Thank you for your compliment.
I am already working on the PBF V3.0;)
Greetings from Germany,
David
Please make it bigger, i really love this.. 😍😍
here from BrickVault
I love this! I can see how you have spent a lot of time on this, keep up the great work!
I don't get how anyone could dislike this
I love these builds! Keep them coming! Very well done, Great attention to detail
Totally dumb founded how you even designed this amazing thing? Never known built it... truly super cool.
I would only make one change, put the pump somewhere in the machine. But wow, it was for sale as a kit, I would be swiping my card for it.
Very interesting use of the servo motor! Love it! :D

One word - AMAZING ! :D
Dude I love it. First I thought "well just another ball factory" but you really could improve your last one. Nice mechanics and so clean :D
Yes, it's just a new PBF, but it's all new and more complex than the first. ;-)
well... the only thing I can tell is "OMG THIS IS F***ING AMAZING DUDE" because it is 0_o
This id brilliant !
Please make instructions for this, I really want to just buy all the pieces and build it all. I know it would be expensive, but it would be absolutely amazing

omg, I haven't finish version 1.0 yet now you release version 2.0
;-)
EXCELLENT !!!
can you reveal your air supplier. Very cool model. You are my idol.
For sure, I use an industrial compressor with 6L air tank and a pressure control valve.
Stunning!
hello, nice work, what is the name of the music u used please ?
Please make instructions!
I like your machin its real cool

I know what you mean, but I find a ball cleaner nonsensical.
Haha okay, too bad for me.

You should modify it slightly and take it to a covention for the gbc.
What is this song from... I recognize it...
The title is called "Hero Theme by MK2" in the RUclips Sound Library
Klasse gemacht!!!
Vielen Dank!
Everything looks so clean and visually beautiful. Engineer as profession?
Many Thanks. I'm a mechanical engineer for production technology in the pharmaceutical sector.
Quanix It shows. Some big LEGO builds on RUclips are money dumbs without clear vision. Watching and listening this video feels like magic show.
Those loaders are a sight! This is a truly epic creation! How modular is the loading area? How hard would it be to have a row of 4 or 6 loaders all slammin' away? The visual would be nuts!
Theoretically everything possible ;-)
hallo David, wie geil
amazing
Ich dachte man dürfe keine Pornographie auf RUclips hochladen :O
Hi Again David
Shall i share my replica's video? I made lots of modification inspired from your great model.
Yes, please share your opinion. I am very interested!
@@Quanix ruclips.net/video/-3ObQgHkbfk/видео.html
Amazing!!!
May I please have it? PLEASE?
unsaleable ;)
This is a great creation. Very well-made, and it looks very reliable. Love the clean look of it.

Thanks for your compliment.
I film my videos with a simple iPhone 7 and a tripod ;-)

this is my kind of ASMR, just sploosh. -w-

How do you attach pieces to the chain of the pick and place? I've always wanted to build one, but I could never figure that out.
HI, it's easy, you can put the wide chain links (6047885) in the technic holes of lift arms.
Thanks so much! I would never have figured that out :)
No problem ;-) You do not always have to build everything complicated, even simple things work well.
Wow!
I love it
Hi! I just have a question : do you have only 3 pneumatic unit?
Hello,
I suppose you mean the valves. Yes, only three valves are installed in the control unit.
Greetings David
Quanix whoa you made a pretty cool job with only 3 valves :)
Thank you ;-)

Das ist einfach nur Krank (im positiven).
Bist Maschinenbauingenieur?
Ingenieur bin ich nicht aber Maschinenbauer, ich baue solche Maschinen / Anlagen im echten Leben.
Quanix Das erklärt einiges 😊😉
Yes, it is awsome, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't use the actual lego pumps
theyd be way to weak
For reference 4 blue pneumatic pumps will just run the long linear return machine. You need 6 to run robotic arms. You would need 20 plus to run the whole machine.
Gefällt mir richtig gut...
Ich kenn da einige, die sich daran erfreuen würden.
Ich verlinke das Video mal bei mir im Forum... (doctor-brick.de)

Nein leider nicht. Es wäre auch ein zu großer Aufwand eine Bauanleitung dafür zu erstellen.

Hi Mustafa,
No, the conveyor belts are at the same height.
You have to use under the carrier two tiles with the part number: 6132886. (Https://www.lego.com/service/bricks/5/2/6132886)
These tiles have rounded edges and better sliding over heels.
Greetings David
Hi mustafa, you build the version 1 or this version?
Are you using only official Lego pneumatic tubing, or do you order them from somewhere else?
I order the silicone tubes where else. They are not from LEGO.
Quanix hi pal may I ask where do you order the tubing because I was trying to find some on eBay but I had no luck
I buy the hose in a hardware store near me. But there are many dealers on the internet selling silicone tubing for LEGO.
Hey Quanix!
Ich wollte dich fragen, wie groß der Kompressor ist, mit dem du dieses Wunderwerk betreibst. Ich würde mich über eine Antwort freuen!
Hallo,
Gern beantworte ich dir diese Frage:
Ich benutze einen 8 Bar Kompressor mit 6L Lufttank zum betreiben meiner PBF.
Bei vollem Tank reicht die Luft für ca. 20min Betrieb.
Viele Grüße aus Kassel,
David
robo ball medness!!!

WOW
I see lepin switch..
I only use original LEGO parts
