I'm glad to hear that the pen earned your stamp of approval, since I got the exact same model for my birthday a couple of days ago, on the strength of your review of the Super. It's my first 3D pen and I'm loving it so far!
You mentioned that the UFO was getting top-heavy, but the instability was likely from a larger moment of inertia. Having the rings so far from the center of gravity causes it to over-compensate, which is why people don't get these problems when mounting accessories close to the center of the drone. The Mavic is designed with its PID values tuned to its moment and mass, but with something like a race quad you can adjust those values and stabilize the flight. All the same, great showcase of the Mynt3D Pro!
That is super surprising that Myt3d worked for you. I bought a classroom set and even with 2nd generation pens still got some problems. Glad they worked for you Devin. Keep making cool stuff!
26th comment! I love your channel! You inspired me to buy a 3d printer a few years ago... Now I have 5... You sucked me into this alternate 3d printer universe! I LOVE this!
I would like to see a fully/ mostly printed version. I feel like the modeling would take forever but it would be so worth in the end for the balance issues
My guess would be that the clipping propeller caused the actual crash. The propeller clipping was slowing it down which was also making it drift backwards.
@@make.anything This guy is right I think, I could see it coming. The propeller clipping the structure meant that the propeller wasn't producing thrust correctly and this threw off the control software which attempted to compensate and crashed the craft. Might even have plain stuck the propeller watching it back again.
Great job! I would build from the drone up don’t add any extra legs and make it smaller with a little alien inside the dome. Like an outer circle ring above the blades then a dome. Hope that makes sense lol. Have fun making!
I know you've used the 3dsimo mini in the past, but I think it would be awesome if you could do a review of the 3dsimo kit 2 if you haven't already since it's a modular open source 3d pen
Oh man, mine almost did that too. I literally had to grab it out of the sky and hold on for dear life. I learned how to override it after that scary lesson! :'D
@@make.anything ahh really must be common thing mine was on a roof and I managed to get it going and off the roof and it just went up up and further away like I don't even know how high or far lol. I was gutted haha 😄
Maybe use your wood cnc to cut the shapes you need quickly, then trance over those shapes with the 3d pen? You'll get a lot more precise shapes and hopefully balance. Fantastic video by the way, the amount of work you put into these projects is insane!
With drones you also have to consider that if you put something that drags with the air moved by the propeller it is going to increase the load put on those motors to fly. In this case the weight added wasn't a lot but there probably was a lot of drag with air and the drone couldn't handle it.
Oh I felt that too. But for a moment there it was epic. And you got the footage. I think mylar around an open cone "dome" might give you the effect you want. Just mylar sheeting on the outside, but not under or above, so the blades keep going. Then there's the issue of wobble. your rig was too flexible and bent too much, bending into the blades and destabilizing the flight. A central post up through the dome from the body of the drone?
I have the mynt3D and I've had to replace the nib 3 times. First time it stuffed after 2 months, second one came broken, and third stuffed after a week....
My gut feeling is it was the structure interfering with the Mavics obstacle avoidance sensors, that’s why it gradually got more and more unstable. If it’s possible to go to a more manual flight mode perhaps with a bit more room (10ft instead of 8ft lol) you’ll be fine!
Super project :) I'm looking for a 3D printing pen for my sons but I don't know what to choose yet. I'm thinking about "3Doodler Create Plus" but I found out that the problem/minus is expensive filament cartridges. I see you are currently using "MYNT3D Professional". Can you point out which device is better - "MYNT3D Professional", "3Doodler Create Plus" or some other? I will be grateful for a hint.
Great project. Must be frustrating spending so much manual time making something then having it destroyed in seconds. I think using the 3D printer combined with the 3D pen you could build some structures efficiently. Maybe designing some of those 3D printed sub structures then combining with the 3D pen might work out well.
Unless you can tune the drone's firmware , I suspect you'll suffer instability if you change the drone's angular momentum i.e. any weight that is spread out from the centre . So, try to minimize the height and width of your saucer.
For the MYNT3D pen, do you find your hand gets tired after working for a while from holding the button down? I have arthritis n carpal tunnel and my hands get tires quite quickly, do you have to put much pressure on the button? Im thinking of getting a pen that has an “auto-extrude” button so to speak, but am worried i won't be able to get as much detail as i want with an auto pen. If anyone else (or yourself) have any recommendations on pens that are ergonomically well made that would be great! Fantastic vid btw its epic 😆
Actually a great demonstration w/ some handy tricks and also gives a pretty good idea in general of what's possible with these glorified sorta 'hot glue guns'. And love your 'focus'... lotsa folks have great ideas, but often lack the necessary 'tenacity'. BTW, maybe start with a larger dome wide enuff to enclose the blades, and then add a slightly larger 'disk shape' w/ landing gear _below_ it. Cheers!
What if you use thin tissue paper or rice paper to add color and opaqueness to the dome and ship body instead of filament? It could keep the weight down. As I type this, I'm guessing it would block the airflow to the drone, but I don't know enough about this stuff to know for sure.
I would personally have made the dome on top a bit shorter, or more of a half oval (I forget the name of it since it isn't an egg but more of a skinny sphere in a sense) since the dome on top probably made the filament bend down towards the blades and was the downfall. Maybe trusses in the main body (avoiding the blades obviously) might help prevent the filament from getting shredded. I hope this helps and best wishes!
Devin is really handling the quarantine well
lmao I just started the video and read your comment and was trying to figure out if it was sarcastic or not and then... the intro started 😂
Onion Boi 😂
Nah, He is totally losing it.
mawama takama i can’t tell if you’re being serious
@@mawamatakama5150 he joking
Roswell UFO incident, 1947, colorized.
God damn i was going to use the joke
Lol
It's not a failure. It's learning how not to do things.
What you're calling "failure", I'm calling "glorious." 😁
Seriously, thanks for posting this.
Love the willy wonka reference
Crazy Devon is favorite Devon.
That intro is a 11/10
I KNEW you were an alien! ;) Great video, Devin.
Considering I couldn't fly a UFO I think this video makes the opposite case! 👽
Nice video, why not aliens? Nice Pen, and I love that CPE filament. Really cool concept, thanks for sharing.
Wow! You posted twice in about a week i hope you see this cuz i love your videos!!😊😊
LMAO! The Intro took me out 😂
Can you plese add a text that translates the lenghts/weights in KG instead of BaldEagles per McDonalds?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
Devin - you are a workhorse. And did I mention, that you are my favorite maker!!
Make the Millennium Falcon! It has a much lower center of mass, please!!
11:15 0.562 lbs = 0,255 kg for people who don't use imperial.
12:30 RIP
14:50 Maybe make the legs heavier so it's not so top heavy?
Welcome to the world of RC crashes :D
It's been forever! So glad to see a new vid from you!
It's been 6 days
Ginger Ninja Cubing six days too long 😭
That’s really nice how you just Laughed after it crashed. Great job man!!
Great video! I love drones and UFOs! Can’t wait for build #2!
Thank you so much Davin! I just bought a mynt and I'm so excited, I can't wait to make some things with it
I'm glad to hear that the pen earned your stamp of approval, since I got the exact same model for my birthday a couple of days ago, on the strength of your review of the Super. It's my first 3D pen and I'm loving it so far!
All I can say is that was a great attempt! Good job.
10:04 Cute...
LOL That intro tho.....on point.
Amazing work👍
This is awesome. Dude, SO much work but its great.
You’re literally the best!
Love it. Thanks Devin
that was a beautiful intro
It actually moved like an UFO in those early 20th centur black and white movies!
Haha that's true!
Devin, you ALWAYS put a smile on my face when I watch your videos, amazing work, and ideas! keep going! Love your channel
Another fun to watch video.
Devin, you're the coolest.
As a drone nut I found this funny and awesome! Great vid
Incredible Work 👍
Cool! I gotta get me a 3d pen & try something like this with my Mavic Pro :-) Very nice concept Devin
"It can carry at most 2 pound. I know that doesn't sound like much"
I mean, it's about $4 AUD. that can buy you some chocolate... or 2 bottles of milk
Wonderful Wonka!
That intro legitimately shook me to my core.
You mentioned that the UFO was getting top-heavy, but the instability was likely from a larger moment of inertia.

This guy deserves way more subs because his ideas are always so great
That is super surprising that Myt3d worked for you. I bought a classroom set and even with 2nd generation pens still got some problems. Glad they worked for you Devin. Keep making cool stuff!
Hahahahahahaha im lovin this
Printing the rings would definitely make it sturdier.
26th comment! I love your channel! You inspired me to buy a 3d printer a few years ago... Now I have 5... You sucked me into this alternate 3d printer universe! I LOVE this!
This guy never give up! never afraid to share his failure , keep it up !
Thanks for the conversion into the other imperial unit ;)
I really love your website 😍😍😍
Awesome!
year 3012:
engineers: We need more reload for 3D pens!
Your Content Are Awesome i Mean I like It
Me coming to this video expecting a traditional review of a 3D pen: 👁️✨👁️
Me leaving after this wild ride: 👾👾👾
Hey, nice work, a creative mind inspiring others at the time experiments it self.
Have a great day, new suscriber.
I would like to see a fully/ mostly printed version. I feel like the modeling would take forever but it would be so worth in the end for the balance issues
In this episode of make anything Devin trys mushrooms he found in the woods
I'm very glad that the UFO is the only thing that got hit, propellers + skin = stitches.
That was amazing!! Love your ideas! I was also wondering if you could do a orange VW Beatle?
are resin prints stronger? you can do some resin printing for version 2.0
My guess would be that the clipping propeller caused the actual crash. The propeller clipping was slowing it down which was also making it drift backwards.
I'm sure that had something to do with it.. although the drift could also be from weight imbalance
@@make.anything This guy is right I think, I could see it coming. The propeller clipping the structure meant that the propeller wasn't producing thrust correctly and this threw off the control software which attempted to compensate and crashed the craft. Might even have plain stuck the propeller watching it back again.
the super 3d pen is my only 3d pen the only reason i have it is ur vid thanks :))
You should send that intro in as your audition to be on Stranger Things!
Quick question, are you able to take a drawing and design it for 3d printing?
Or have any recommendations?
Nice 👍

Did you get a sliding mitre saw yet?
Omg, the intro - that was out of character. lol
petition to bring back pegboards!
Og Wonka ftw
Wow 👏 this is amazing i imagine it took a long time. I had a drone and it flew off lol never found it again. Great work with 3d pen.
Oh man, mine almost did that too. I literally had to grab it out of the sky and hold on for dear life. I learned how to override it after that scary lesson! :'D

Thanks! I was debating bringing the CNC into this, some precision is certainly called for :P
That intro though haha
Have you thought about making a vacuum table and a ufo mold. A plastic shell would be lightweight and you could cut vent holes for airflow.
With drones you also have to consider that if you put something that drags with the air moved by the propeller it is going to increase the load put on those motors to fly. In this case the weight added wasn't a lot but there probably was a lot of drag with air and the drone couldn't handle it.
Can you review the 3doodler pro+?
Oh I felt that too. But for a moment there it was epic. And you got the footage. I think mylar around an open cone "dome" might give you the effect you want.

woud u recamend this pen or the the older verson

Can anyone help me find the video of Devin where he shows a simple dry box and other tips for clean prints? I can't seem to find it.

Well it’s a month late but my MYNT 3D pro has worked very nicely
Great project. Must be frustrating spending so much manual time making something then having it destroyed in seconds. I think using the 3D printer combined with the 3D pen you could build some structures efficiently. Maybe designing some of those 3D printed sub structures then combining with the 3D pen might work out well.
That's pretty much what I'm thinking!

You can double click the extrude button to go into auto-extrude :)
11:31 That was the sound of inevitability :P

This explained what i see last night, 2020 is not that bad.
Should've used glow in the dark filament and fly it at night
"why not aliens" thats my new answer to anything someone asks me
I think a mustang p51 drone frame would look cool. Airbags has a drone plane and but it's a small one.
What if you use thin tissue paper or rice paper to add color and opaqueness to the dome and ship body instead of filament? It could keep the weight down.
As I type this, I'm guessing it would block the airflow to the drone, but I don't know enough about this stuff to know for sure.
I have a Mavic Mini that is made to be flown indoors, but it's still kinda scary.
Looks amazing
Maybe add some counterweight to the bottom?
Love the covid cut
Print surfaces (1 layer thick, no top/bottom, ~10% star or triangle infill, 200% extrusion width), bend, glue, repeat.
I would personally have made the dome on top a bit shorter, or more of a half oval (I forget the name of it since it isn't an egg but more of a skinny sphere in a sense) since the dome on top probably made the filament bend down towards the blades and was the downfall. Maybe trusses in the main body (avoiding the blades obviously) might help prevent the filament from getting shredded. I hope this helps and best wishes!
t would be cool if you could add a little alien guy inside.
It was a fun project tho.
crazy creative, is the best description for this chanel
Aight yeah fine I’ll buy the pen
