  • It's finally time to resume work on The Martian spacesuit costume build! In the two years since we last checked in on the project, Frank Ippolito has moved into a new shop and has been chipping away on 3D printing crucial parts to the costume. Adam spends the day at Frank's shop to survey the pieces and start work on the helmet!

    Thanks to Frank and his team for keeping this project alive in the midst of their busy shop schedule! Check out more of Thingergy's projects at www.thingergyin...

    I think about this build every six months or so and come back to check. Cant wait for this to come around. Such an intricate suit and a serious feat, not sure if anything on this show has taken this long to complete.

    I can't over emphasise how happy I am to have watch Frank's business take off, initially on Tested and then via Twitter. I really feel like I've had the privilege to watch a titan of the industry be born and follow them as they've exploded onto the scene. Give it a year or two, and Frank's props will be the ones everyone is trying copy, inspiring a whole new generation of makers and re-energising the existing one. I take my hat of you sir, it is extremely well deserved!

    Fun fact, all the cameras that were on those suits in the movie were sourced from the actual action camera market. There's 2 Sony Action Cameras on the sides of the helmet and a GoPro on the shoulder boom. No clue why you'd need 3 forward facing cameras but that's what they did.

    That is so cool. That waste plastic can be recycled by the company that manufactures the raw extrusion. They regrind and add a percentage to a batch. You can work out a deal with them. Just keep it seperated by color and material. It saves them on cost and less landfill. win win.

    • @BallisticTech
      @BallisticTech 6 лет назад +2

      From my understanding talking to a lot of filament companies at Mid-West Rep Rap Festival, East Coast Rep Rap Festival and Maker Faires, most don't produce recycled filament. Those that do it's more of a niche thing right now. Filamentive for example sources their plastic from "Material generated by households or by commercial, industrial and institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product which can no longer be used for its intended purpose. This includes returns of material from the distribution chain."
      I think I've heard of a few companies that accept waste filament for recycling but it's the exception to the rule. Let me know if you know of any specific companies that do offer it.
