- From 3D print to metal Terminator skull. Some additional work was needed to make some parts, though this method is faster than hammering everything out of flat sheet and allows for better detail.
These eyes are screaming for red leds inside! Good work!
Thanks! Yes, I'll be doing more to the eyes, here are the ones I made for my last skull: ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html
So much effort, so many skill-sets involved. I am SO very impressed. Great work!
Thank you very much! 😁👍
@@AndysMachines i hope that you will create control AI in Assembly language;P
@@Kawka1122 What about using a Jetson Nano, NX or AGX?
I love that the little pits from casting, blacked in end up looking like it's battle worn and adds to the authenticity of it all. What 3d printing and cnc machines have added to casting, etc is mind blowing. You said in a previous comment that you think this project it too niche to get a lot of likes, I say don't trust someone who hasn't see terminator! Beautiful work.
Thanks! Yes, you're right. I could polish it further and make it all shiny and perfect, but I'm deliberately leaving in some of the marks and even accentuating them to give it a slightly worn/weathered appearance, which I think is a lot more fitting.
Astounding. I spent the entire fifteen minutes shaking my head in sheer disbelief.
I long so hard to have a metal T800 skull! Very well done! 👌
impresive!!! One of the best builds ever!
Incredible master class of craftsmanship! Feel like watching the first T-800 prototype being built at Skynet!
Funny how much the welding sounds add to the overall terminator vibe
Buddy, you should get millions of views! This is outstanding! Love your work, best regards from Germany, my friend! 💕🇩🇪
Thanks! 👍 I think what I do is maybe a bit too niche to attract millions of views though.
Exactly the thing popped into my mind after watching the video. very cool video.
@@AndysMachines not really, share it on reddit 3d printing sub and similar forums. that will make youtube push the video harder too.
I'm not a fan of LED light but I think that red eyes on this build are a MUST.
You're right of course: ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html
@@AndysMachines I didn't expect your comment, especially the fast one. You should put some crypto address in a video description, then I could buy you some beer or coffee. Keep up the good work, and never change the format of videos they are perfect.
Thanks, I'm glad you like the format of these videos. I do have Patreon if you're feeling generous: www.patreon.com/AndysMachines
Wow dude. That's so impressive. Well done.
So glad to see real machine work on T800 ! I’m sure you will get great reviews as I did in 2002 for my fiberglass bondo unit I made for my computer repair store ! I made my skull by freezing and print screen of the move as the terminator was chasing Sarah and Kile through the factory. If I had a 3D printer I could have made a ton of money selling them for man caves! So many people offered me money for the unit in my store, it was ridiculous! I did a wax model and aluminum casting but ran in to the same as you did but worse! Not knowing what I was doing! Good luck and great job!
Awesome work! Love to see other people with passion for terminators. Excellent details, you are very skilled!
Incredible craftsmanship ! I was blown away. Beautiful work.
Great example of perfect craftsmanship ! 😊
Great work
I'm astounded at your skill and jealous of your awesome tools. That was an awesome video. Great closeups of your work. I see this video becoming very popular.
Thanks. If it makes you feel any better, there are plenty of people whose skill and tools I'm jealous of too!
Really ... looks like a Terminator skull some random human freedom fighter looted from the battlefield and brought it back to his people like some kind of trophy. The little ditches and cracks in the metal just give the end result a unique finish. Not too perfect, but I really like it.
Yes, that's kind of the look I'm going for, I've deliberately left some of the marks and imperfections, even blackened them, to give it a more authentic look.
I do check this videos over and over again. Totaly awsome!!! Really impressed with all your skills.
Wow, nice workmanship!
Thanks! I appreciate the comment.
Just as scary as the original. I hope you have a lot of fun with it and sell it for a lot of money. Thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!
bravo this was gorgeous. you really need to make the eyes light up on the next one
Thanks! Re. the eyes, look out for my next video, in a week or two.
Being an avid fan I see this and yes, amazing video! I have been 3d printing a 1:1 in resin and modifying for animatronics. Now I want to scratch all of that and cast all my parts I made, lol. Really superb craftsmanship!
Wow! Your skills and attention to detail are incredible.
👍✨☕️✨
Finally, metal teeth. Too many skulls have the bone colored teeth. The endoskeleton is supposed to have the flesh burned off and just be metal. Awesome work.
Glad you like the teeth! A lot of people tell me they should be enamel coloured, but personally I prefer the dirty metal look and I think it's more authentic.
Don’t know how I got here... was looking for programming videos and damn, am I glad to have clicked on your video. What an amazing job. Actually what an amazing art. I’m going to watch the video a few times for sure later on this evening. It’s so intense and beautiful.
Thank you helping to forget my programming for a while.
Gonna watch Arnold this weekend with my dog I guess. So much to watch on Netflix and Prime Video but never know what to choose. If they don’t have Terminator 1 on I’ll DL it from a torrent site.
Wish you all the best, take care. Stay safe! 😉👋👍
Be careful man, you're gonna get a visitor from the future because somebody started a robot army that took over the world. Great job man, new subscriber.
Awesome work!
Extremely skilled work👍
Mate!!! Incredible work, very realistic
Are you sure you're not a robot yourself? AMAZING craftsmanship!!!
If I were I could probably work faster!
I’m not the only one that sees this as fine art right????
You have a gift!
an absolute gift, and i hope you keep at it!
Skynet to Andys: "Do more, human".
When I saw the aluminum welder I thought to myself, "this guy is not fucking around"
AWESOME! New subscriber from Spain!
Very impressive work 👍🏻
you have done a amazing job, and made me want to start casting,
oh just imagine having the eyes light up and a motor to have the cogs move
that would be freaky but awsome.
One day a visitor comes and and says: I need my skull, my arm and... your motorcycle:)
OMG this is amazing. This is possibly the one thing I would actually spend time and money doing, out of all the videos I have watched. Please share your files;)
You are a cool dude! No doubt about it! And how did you mend that terminator's head! I have no words! The battle head is visible!
Very good👏🏼
so 15 minute video....
I feel like each minutes is about a weeks worth of work....
Pretty Good Job!!!
1 minute =1 week is probably about right.
@@AndysMachines thanks
Wow! You are an amazing craftsman!
The attention to detail is insane 👍
Like the eye balls with their ball-bearings
Realy cool... awesome dude.
Great work. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Awesome stuff
I am both fascinated and repulsed by this. Beautifully finished! The sound of those hand files, though. They grate on my nerves every time, LOL! It’s a cross I have to bear…
Very skilled work. Nice job.
all that work and no red LEDs in those amazingly well made eyes..
But there will be... ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html
Good job
Fantastic!
Indeed!
@Dr S4T4N ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html but check my next video (in a couple of weeks) for the new version.
“Fantastic!”
He would say that, wouldn’t he... I can hear his accent now.
Amazing but where is the red eyes?
Right here!: ruclips.net/video/rHVmADY_Ky4/видео.html
"See all that stuff in there, Homer? That's why your robot doesn't work."
Respect! This is incredible craftsmanship!
Love the metal tooth part. I was like “ what is he machining ?... oh”
Most satisfying puzzle to put together I bet
Amazing work... only way to improve on it is to make the eyes glow red with some LEDs or some other light source.
Thanks! I didn't show it in this video because it was about the skull, but check out my 2 other videos on the eyes (2 versions) they are in the playlist.
Outstanding! And as always-Well Done✅👍
Thanks a lot! 😁👍
You're getting better and better with these builds dude! Might I suggest putting some sprues on the parts to let the metal flow to the places it's not reaching, and to make a vacuum table so you can vacuum cast, that'll stop most of the issues I see :)
That actually is a vacuum table at 3:00 though I didn't go into detail on that in this video, it worked really well for the small parts. But yes, you're right about sprues, some of the larger parts I couldn't cast on the table (jaw, back of skull) failed because I made the sprues too short and there wasn't enough pressure to fill the mould.
Absolutely freaky man 😍 awesome work
Stunning work sure to follow this up to whole statue👏
Terminator's eyes would look more like the movie if they could light up red using leds. That's what made it scarier looking. Same principle as HAL 2000 with his red glaring lens. You are quite a skilled craftsman I must say. It looks absolutely gorgeous and well detailed. Now you just need to add the red eyes to make it scary...lol.
Yes, I did do the red eyes on my previous skull, ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html but I'm actually planning a slight improvement for this one (more on that later).
@@AndysMachines Omfg right down to the kaleidoscope . Wow, well done and so intricate. 👍
What a dream.! Amazing work sir 😎👍
Builds cool Terminator skull an puts it on the book-shelf next to half a dozen others skulls ^^
Well only 3... .... So far....
AMAZING! the best Iv'e seen so far.
10000 years later when they find this thing buried in the garbage patches
That's amazing. Great work.
Amazing Craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏽👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Superb job mate!
love the video, keep goin ... amazing work
i await the day this thing has been perfected enough to actually gain sentience through skynet since its basically got a real-life functioning T-800 body allready right here
Simply amazing, you are my personal Hero!!!!!
Looks incredible!👌👍
Outstanding wow, i am printing the full body in pla actually
So much work, so little reward...
If you had cast this in Stirling, i'd give you props...
There are collectors that would have bought it...
Just imagine what it would have looked like with a five year patina.
Really awesome! I wonder if you could of saved some of the finishing time by smoothing the PLA parts out more before casting. I really admire all the work you have put into it, it shows so well by the finished quality!
Thanks very much! Not as much time as you might think, as I would have to finish and polish the metal parts anyway, I only cleaned up the worst of the 3D prints, plus I prefer to work with metal than plastic and I actually left some of the rough print texture in some places to give a weathered appearance which I think looks more authentic.
What a piece of art
Great work..😎.. just ran across your channel, not sure how I've never seen it before 🤔...but damn glad I did..👍.. new sub here my friend..✌️
Thanks! I just watched your video where you poured aluminium straight into a 3D print, really impressed how well that worked, I'll have to try that. I've done a similar thing with EPS foam before but you can't carve as much detail into foam.
@@AndysMachines I appreciate you checking my video out sir... I have yet to try lost foam, and I'm just now trying to get into some plaster casting, just waiting on my burn out furnace..👍
2 dislikes. From someone called 'Sarah Connor' and her son, John, I suspect...
It's the first 2 Sarah Connors, which honestly is okay if you ask me. They kinda got the raw end of the deal there.
A Skynet há está funcionando?😆 Ficou ótimo este trabalho.👏👏👏👏😃👍
Google tried to shadow ban the video, but then realized covering up their future plans might be a bit too obvious.
The Resistance is growing ! New members are arriving to hit dislike button :O
Apparently, there will be 29,5 more movies with Sarah and John Connor. And from the future no less. As there are now 66 dislikes...
As long as the skull is there, the Skynet is doomed to be born...
WOW! Great job bud.
Amazing work!!
Holy crap that was a lot of work! 🏆👍🛠🇺🇸🛠
Yes, but actually a lot less than the previous skull I made.
Brilliant Andy!
Amazing as always
Qui n'a jamais rêvé posséder une vrai tête de terminator et en plus mobile. Beau travail 🤗👍👍👍
Nice work.... I've got 3D files on an Arm and a Head with neck and stand, I've also got a full Endoskeleton in the Genisys version... Happy to send you copies if you'd like any of them
Thanks! I've downloaded several (paid for) 3D files recently, mostly head/neck, and I also have Conqueror Worm's arm files you pointed me to in the past. I'd be interested to see the Genisys version, though I'm not going to be building that version, but it would be another useful reference for the features that are the same.
This is the best head I’ve had in years.
Very impressive skill and patience. I'm surprised you didn't put LEDs in the eyes but maybe that's a later project?
Only thing I would say is it would have been easier and more accurate to use fake teeth.
Thanks! Yes there will be LEDs in the eyes, I did this on my previous skull: ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html But I'm working on a slightly improved version for this one.
Fake teeth, yes much easier, but I prefer the look of the metal teeth and I rarely do anything the easy way!
@@AndysMachines Ah yes, eyes look very good 👍 Obviously your choice on the teeth 😉
Amazing work!
Very inspiring.
Curious to know why the decision to weld and dress out the casts instead of recasting them?
Thanks! It's actually a long process making the pattern, creating the investment mould, burning it out etc... It was quicker to repair the poorly cast parts, plus I didn't want to waste them.
Plot twist ... This is the terminator prototype! We are gonna die! Find John Conor! Epic Job Man!!!!!!
In case you didn’t know you can soak your file and bits in lye to clean out the embedded aluminum, AwSOME piece of art
Yes, good tip. One that I've seen done and known about for a long time, but I've never actually tried it myself! You can also apparently resharpen a dull file by dipping it in acid, I've even heard vinegar works, but you have to soak it overnight.
The irony that a machine could make this better is....ironic. But the work is very well done!
Excellent, bravo pour ce beau travail , tres impressionné !
who knew that this is where Skynet really started
OMG thats an amazing work! Well done. SO much work but the looks is awesome!
Either you go got to try ceramich shell investment casting next time - much simplier to do and probalby you would not have to start with so many parts.
I am going to cast such a piece but not only the outside parts but also filled inside - so not a hollow model like yours. Mine also would not move the jaw but would stand alone as a figure in pure AL.
The model is ready just needs to be burned out and casted.
Yes, I was thinking towards the end that it would have been better to make some parts with shell casting. The bigger parts didn't work with the vacuum, I also had to make custom flasks for each piece and use a lot of expensive investment plaster compared to the amount of metal actually being poured.
For larger parts I need in future I will definitely try shell casting, I've never done it before though so I'll have to do some research.
@@AndysMachines If you havent done it yet just check my Valentines Day video from my channel - I make there a piece from start to finish and in the middle of the video I amek also a ceramic shell.
Maybe you can get something from it and make it also work for you :)
I just watched your video, nicely made and I like the way you included the things that went wrong too, things don't always go right the first time!
Yes, I will definitely give shell casting a try next time I have a piece that's suitable. I'm doing more small parts at the moment using the vacuum-investment method.
@@AndysMachines oh. Thank you for watchin m8, and especially of your opinion.
I like very much how other people cast small pieces and use the vaccum casting method. But the thing is just not for me. I like to make bigger sized statues/figures.
Will try someday tho, and do a video about it, because tou can also do ad „casting tree” method and use it in ceramic shell investment casting without the vaccuum process. I like to see how it gors for me to cast coupleof things, smaller .... maybe channel tags/coins such way 🤔.
Either way. Waiting unpatient for your next casting and making a figures/statues video 🤘🏻👌💪. Keep up the nice work👊👍
Next favorite thing about this is the close music to the original
Very nice! I probably would have given upon seeing that the cast parts came out so rough. Then again, I don't have an entire machine shop at my disposal. One thing though, I'm surprised you went to so much trouble, even making the eyes movable, but you didn't add lights to them. And with the covers in the head being separate, you could have added a CPU.
The parts that came out rough were mostly due to my mistakes than the casting process, but it was easier to fix them than recast each whole part. I have made eyes with lights in in the past: ruclips.net/video/RG9HpijORLw/видео.html and I'm working on something similar for this skull, there's also going to be a lot more going on inside the head.
@@AndysMachines I know absolutely nothing about programming microcontrollers, but a really cool feature would be if you could add motion tracking to the head so that when someone comes close, the eyes light up and follow their movements. :)
@lurkerrekrul I'm actually planning just that, and more...
