How To Create Something: Assembling a Large Star Wars 3D Print
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июл 2024
- In this video we are going to create and assemble a really big, Star Wars based, 3d print using a whole lot of smaller 3d printed pieces. Not only that, but we have a unique method to show off that will greatly enhance the durability of any assembled part (wait until you see what we are building!)
By assembling smaller pieces together into a larger part, we can open the doors to all new possibilities where size and budget are no longer limiting factors. Wait, why is budget not a factor? Because you don't need some gi-mondo, expensive 3d printer.
Be sure to check out Infosmercal's first video where we electroplated a 3d print: • How-To Make Metal: Ele...
This video demonstrates another way to creatively expand the possibilities of 3d printing by making something out metal.
In an upcoming video, we are going learn how we can add a great fit and finish to any 3d printed part by sanding down, priming, and painting our Star Wars print from this video!

Holy crap, this comments section is fucking brutal! Dude, this was a great video, I appreciated the time you spent making it. ✌🏻
Lol welcome to the internet I guess 🤣 thanks I appreciate that. 👍
Just on the gluing, I've been using this formula for many years now, and have always used the same approach. Glue the joint as normal, but use activator spray. Once you have a fix from that, put a light bead of glue over the seam of what you've just glued. Then sprinkle baking soda anywhere you see wet glue. Once you're covered, tap the item so the powder goes back onto your work surface, blow to release non attached particles, then repeat this until enough material has built up.
Since you're gluing on the inside of the structure, for optimum strength I would most certainly use multiple layers, and even aim for quite a build up of material build up around the tight corners. The cement that is created is incredibly durable and lightweight. It has been the preferred method for some aircraft engineers if you need to fill a dink on a wing
First I thought you were going to on the baking soda first then glue to seal it in. But you went with glue first, so all good. If you did lay down some powder and pour glue on top, your joint integrity would be at risk because you would almost certainly have pockets of powder which had not reacted with the glue.
If anyone does glue themselves like I did, it is possible to sort it out without drawing blood, if you've got the patience. You have to find a nail file, then simply use the edge to saw away at the joint, making sure you're angled so the edge is pointing into the thing you're glued to. But do what he says to save time, and wear gloves. Superglue is very good at bonding skin. It's even part of it's development history as it was once intended to be a tool for battlefield medics to glue the wounded back together.
Cool. Can't wait to make my life sized 2B statue.
I liked the Funnish route that you take on this one. We are ready for more frequent videos.
+Wilfred Wulff thanks! Yeah you can count on more frequent videos now for sure. It’s not going to be daily, or I can’t even promise weekly for now (work and family life lol), but twice a month is about right for now.
Eventually things will be weekly. Thanks for checking out the vid!
Mix the baking soda and super glue to create a paste. Then apply along the seams. It's a great cheap-bondo and creates an amazing bond. Nice to see a fellow vaper not using it like theyre cooler than everybody else.
Yeah the past is a good idea. The working time I found to be really short, but maybe I had the ratios all wrong.
Lol I forgot my vape was in some of those shots to be honest. Oops haha.
So what I do is take an old silicone slab from an old cast that was leftover in the bin (thanks Frank Ippolito!) and mix it up on that. I just take a little bit of powder and mix a little bit at a time. Working time is VERY short, you're right. haha
Awesome!
Great videos! They certainly seem they are high effort but they are incredibly helpful
Great video!
+agepbiz glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Ive been using Gorilla Gel Superglue & Baking Soda. I feel like the Gel provides a larger accumulation of superglue and tends to pop out the sides. So there is more glue area to cover in baking soda. Then I take a dremel and dremel down the outside surface but leave the inside. Its the absolute best bond Ive found so far besides melting th two pieces together. Gel Super Glue and baking soda is so strong it will break the plastic before breaking at the seem
Seriously the baking soda trick is so insanely strong it’s stupid. Seriously, you’ll wreck the 3d print before you wreck the bond.
Nice. We have a new 3D Printing channel made by two brothers in middle and high school. Just saw the video.
Awesome. Have fun making videos! It’s a blast.
How did you hang your helmets on the wall. Looks great. Can please post your print on the hook. Pretty please.
I have a 13 piece project with about 10% infill and the pieces are about 4-6 inches wide and will make it about 52 inches long. My plan was to use loctite super glue but I’m unsure if that is going to hold it together. Any ideas or opinions would be appreciated.
Using loctite super glue and then sprinkling baking soda on it and quickly sealing the pieces will lead to a cement like bond. Not brittle at all like regular super glue. Then just sand down the seams (using a proper respirator mask in we ventiltated areas). Should work great.
What printer was used here? Nice video. Subbed for sure my dudes
Thanks for watching! Sorry for the delay, but I used the flashforge creator pro.
Can you make a video about you finishing the helmet?
+Urocyon yeah absolutely. That’s coming in another video soon. Stay tuned!
You could have printed it in abs and use acetone to bond parts together
+Eduardo Morales Yeah I agree. I do this on smaller parts or where timing isn’t critical. The huge benefit to this method is that the bond seems to be just as strong, but the result is almost completely instant.
Both methods have their place.
Thanks for watching, btw!
damn! how long did it take to make this video?
Ha! It definitely took a bit of elbow grease and a few late nights.
Thanks for watching!
your work is fucking awesome, you have a fan!
Well thanks for checking it out. There’s more coming soon too...
This beats the fuck out of Pepakura.
+Urocyon haha I’ll have to google that
Nightmare technique.
What Tripod do you recommend under $35 for iPhone 7?
If you can get your hands on a joby gorilla pod with a phone mount for that price, that would definitely be one of the most versatile options out there.
You sure don't do very many videos. Oh, and the camera was focused on your shoulder instead of the piece you were super gluing around @3:00
+The Best Stooge yeah that shot kinda killed me :P I’ll be a little more careful in the future.
Btw, you can count on more frequent videos nowadays. Instead of every two months, the goal is a video every two weeks. Eventually I’d like to get to a weekly schedule, maybe even more.
Thanks for checking out the vid!
Bakingsoda first
that's not scotch tape. Scotch tape is a trade mark of the 3M corp.
+Stephen Boyd fair enough.
Other than that, awesome :)
you might just NOT try to be funny... it would help.
+6rilllir6 fair enough. Thanks for watching.
6rilllir6 Geez...harsh man. I thought the funny-ness was great! 👍🏻
