“Don’t need the spoiler.” Bite your tongue! How will it go fast? Lol. Seriously, nice work. Especially for something that appears in one scene. 😁 Also, electroswing soundtrack is great!
Surface modeling in Fusion is really tricky, I'm glad you talked about the difficulty learning it and having to restart multiple times. In the end it looks great and look forward to seeing it painted.
Next Halloween I'm planning on trick or treating with my kids as bender. I'm going to try my best to print as much as I can to look as close to the show as I can.
15:50 It looks like the alignment holes might have covered over with the brim that you added (and maybe filled in with support material too?) If it's a bother it might be worth checking in the slicer if there's a setting for that - I know in Cura at least there's a checkbox called "Brim Only on Outside"
When I was a kid I made a Dalek out of a radio controlled car, a trashcan, LEDs, and other random junk. Using a 3d printer wasn't even a whiff of a dream for me back then...
3DCONNECION makes fantastic 3D mice. I've got the Space Mouse Pro and it is an absolute must in modeling work. Going on 8 years now. What would I do without it?!
Hey Bill, good to see you again, it's been a while. Maybe one Idea concerning the reinforcement of the seams of the 3D-printed parts on the body: what about glassing over from the inside, just a small strip of about an inch or 1.5 wide? We did this very sucessfully on the prototype shop at BMW on some 3DP-Parts we had to produce in sections and bond together. BR, Sven.
Great Idea. However instead of cutting the car in half and rejoining the halves why not just trace the profile of the back, trim off the back, then machine the new back end to what you had cut off? Would have saved you a bit of time and you could have use the back end you had cut off as the templet.
@@punishedprops It will help slow the car down, even to walking speed. RC crawlers are a segment of the market where they go for things like accurate scale and going rock crawling.
All this talk of AGI and humanoid robots I'm going be sorely disappointed if somebody doesn't start mass producing Bending Robots. As for the Lucy Luibots...
If you want some REAL FUN ( I know cause I have an r.c. car that does this) run linkages to the steering servos to benders head so it will rotate along with front wheels😂😂😂😂
*sigh* yay, someone sitting at a computer moving a mouse around. I know y’all are hostages to the content algorithm but nothing will be missed by skipping the design and 3D modeling process.
could make the head rotate with the steering might be fun. So happy to see a new project on the channel❤
I will totally make the head into a puppet.
really great to see you having fun on youtube again.
I’m having a blast!
14:52 OMG, that's one of the best cameos I've seen in a RUclips video!
Haha! Right?
When you put the head on, it made me chuckle. 😅 I'm looking forward to see the entire process!
The head really sells the look.
I love this so much , its already looking so good! Can't wait to see Bender driving around DragonCon!
You better believe we're bringing him to Atlanta!
Yeeees! Absolutely agree that THIS is what it's all about! Such an amazing, specific reference!

Gotta reduce the drag coefficient! 😂

Thanks! Learning new stuff can be frustrating, but it’s worth it.
"Really tricky" is an understatement.
Yeah, it's very tough. I use solid modeling with filets and chamfers to simulate an organic shape.
It's a joy to see you having fun!
Thank you! 😄
Next Halloween I'm planning on trick or treating with my kids as bender. I'm going to try my best to print as much as I can to look as close to the show as I can.
That’s gonna be so much fun!
Loving the project! So much work and so much fun! Thanks for sharing with us!
You’re welcome!
Altering that chassis looked scary but you got it! Amazing!
It was a little nerve wracking.
Man, I appreciate you and how methodical and accurate you are... inspiring my man!!! King of Sanding!!! LOL
There will be a lot of sanding.
This is going to be an awesome project
Thanks!
Love it, great work, can't wait to see more.
Thanks!
It is turning out fantastic! 👏🏼😍
Thank you!
It is looking really great. the body looks almost vacuformed. Cardboard Bender looks quite happy in there.
Oh, he's pumped.
Love this! Such a cool thing to bring to life. Nice edit with the projector screen too 😁
Thanks! We had fun with this one.
Oh fantastic! Can't wait to see more of it!
I’m so excited!
this is so impressive!
Thanks!
Brilliant Bill
Thank you!
We all need a closet Joel.
Right??
Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
So AWESOME!!!!! Also, hi Joel!
Thank you!
OH, the ideas you sparked
Excellent!
He's Back Baby!
Booyah!
Agreed on the 3D Spacemouse. I use one daily for work (or I would be if I wasn't slacking off and commenting on RUclips)
I really love it!
14:55 a very unexpected cameo
Love your channels
Thanks!
Will you be doing the seats/steering wheel too? This turned out so good I can't wait to see how it goes.
No room for that with a Bender head in the way.
Amazing
Thank you!
Again, looking forward to seeing the finished product. But, I must say “not to bad with cardboard”
Cardboard is so great for quick, cheap prototyping.
Glazing Putty and Acetone. A few thin coats will save you a lot of sanding!
Neat tip!

It's a really fantastic device!
next the Bender Pharaoh Pyramid with the flamethrowers in the eyeballs?
*asked with a straight face
Haha! I love it.
Yes yes yes 😂😂😂😂😂😂super cool 😅👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Woohoo!
Like it‼️
Thanks!

BR, Sven.
I was considering that. I’m not sure it’s necessary, but I can do that at any time after it’s constructed.
Fantastic!! Can’t wait for the next instalment. Will the 3D files be made available?
I doubt anyone else will want to make this, but if anyone reaches out, then I would be happy to share.
Great Idea. However instead of cutting the car in half and rejoining the halves why not just trace the profile of the back, trim off the back, then machine the new back end to what you had cut off? Would have saved you a bit of time and you could have use the back end you had cut off as the templet.
That would have worked well too. Didn’t think of it at the time.
the import question, will this be competing in the tea cup race at dragon con?
Maaaaybe?
You could also get magnetic body posts for it if you don't want to worry about screwing it on and off everytime
That's a pretty good idea!
Look'n good! Do you plan to animate Bender (turns head, moves eyes)?
I sure do.
missed opportunity to have a frunk (front trunk) for all of benders stolen goods!
That’s a pretty clever idea!
So are you dressing up as fry for any cons you go to. That would be epic
That or Scruffy. 😄
As always a great looking build, always inspiring me in my attempts at pieces
I may be getting ahead of the video, but are you going to put a swivel motor under Bender's head, so you can spin it around while driving the car?
Yes! 😄
they do have magnetic body mounts that might help you out later
Ooh neat!
I can almost hear that wicked laugh and hear " Bite my shiny metal ass.". It would be cool if he could actually say quotes from the show.
That's the plan!
Where did you get that 3DPrinting Nerd? Amazon?
Costco, actually. Had to buy a 6 pack.
Wow! Any chance you can make it so Benders head can rotate?
I want to make the head fully animatronic.
Oh man! That’s gonna be awesome.
You need John to sign this for you
That would be cool!
面白いなぁ☺️❤
Thanks!
You will want to change the motor, as that one will be to fast for inside use. I suggest you get one for an RC crawler, and maybe change the gearing.
Ooh, great idea.
@@punishedprops It will help slow the car down, even to walking speed. RC crawlers are a segment of the market where they go for things like accurate scale and going rock crawling.
At the 3:15 minutes mark you should have said too the band saw boy wonder.
Holy power tools Batman!
You want that body much higher. the axels should not be centered with the suspension unloaded!
Right on. I’ll be able to adjust the height once I have the wheels.
:)
what kind of bandsaw is that?
A horizontal bandsaw. Mostly used for cutting metal stock to length.
i'm 40% printed.
40% PETG! =D
Honestly thought you were going to make the wearcar.
Haha! I love it.
All this talk of AGI and humanoid robots I'm going be sorely disappointed if somebody doesn't start mass producing Bending Robots. As for the Lucy Luibots...
More Benders?? Chaos! 😂
If you want some REAL FUN ( I know cause I have an r.c. car that does this) run linkages to the steering servos to benders head so it will rotate along with front wheels😂😂😂😂
That’s a really great idea!
Spoiler warning... this video has one.
Only one and we got rid of it right away. 😂
*sigh* yay, someone sitting at a computer moving a mouse around. I know y’all are hostages to the content algorithm but nothing will be missed by skipping the design and 3D modeling process.
I mean, I found the idea of doing it via surface modelling the most useful bit so 🤷
It was important to me to share some of the struggle, because a lot of people are trying to learn how to 3D model and it can be frustrating.
