I just applied today to join Alphadrome- if I am accepted, I have some perhaps interesting and useful info to share...
That site has already cost me $65; someone there identified Barbarella's pistol, and *good* spraypaint is expensive, but I found a NOS "Tommy Gun" water pistol I just couldn't resist, on eBay... everything fell into place, and landed on my VISA!
@@Pygar2 It is a good site full of good collectors with lots of information. Every one is accepted it is just way to control robot posts and persons looking to make trouble from posting. See you there soon.
Hi John , just wanted to give some info on casting clear resins in silicone molds, clear resins usually don't like tin silicone molds, it tends to want to react to clear resins. It is better to use Platinum silicone for casting clear resin parts. New molds are usually fine but you can bake out molds if you like or even use a product called Composite Shield which is clear and will provide a barrier for casting your part . Platinum silicone is usually pink in color or Translucent looking. Smooth-On company makes some good products for casting clear resins . They also have some clear resin products that are awesome and water clear .
Yes its all true. All my 100's of old silicon rubber molds from the past were done right. This was just a quick 1 off for the sake of the build video and using crappy expencive materials from the local DIY store. I did not want to make it a how to cast resin video as it would get to long and there are so many good youtube videos on how to do it right.
Thanks for the comment and maybe some others will read it and learn from what you have said and go in the right direction.
WOW tnat is so awesome! ROBBY FOREVER! Positively the most advanced robot in the field of Robotics Engineering for 2200 A.D. Although Robby's mechanical computer brain is analog, not digital, he still exudes futuristic style. Thank you MGM and Bob Kinoshita! And thanks to you Mr. Robothut!
Incredible !!....very creative...always astounded by these mechanisms' you come up with. 👀
Thank You.
Thanks so much. You rock.
Really fascinating job, congratulations John, and thank you very much to explain us all this thing's that made Robby a great Robot. For me, you are the best. Your passion for robots is an example for me.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Your Welcome.
Wow. You keep giving me all these projects to do... This is definitely something I'm going to make for my grandson. Then I'll make one for myself. :-)
There you go. Got to keep busy these days.
Fantastic video, and it’s a great series. I’m really enjoying these very much. Almost done printing the parts for the heartbox and then this project is next. I second the vote for continuing with the head project builds for the other components, the ears, sax... I really appreciated your time and sharing your knowledge with us! Thanks
"It's actually a very simple build". I love your faith in us. :-)
Well you will never know if you do not try. The disc's are the hard part, the rest is easy.
Another amazing video! Thank you for sharing your work
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Wow that was a great video. Im building a 3D printed Robby and was wonder how i could make his Gyro. thanks to your videos i now know.
Cool. So glad it may help you. Post a video of your build when its done if you can.
What! Awesome! Thank you so much for doing this. So excited to start building it. :)
I've always wondered how that section of Robby's head worked. Very interesting! Maybe you can also show us how the sax valves work?
I keep thinking about doing more of the Robby head mechanics but from here you kind of have to have a printer big enough for the large parts, I do not like breraking the big parts down to small jigsaw size bits then glueing them back together. But I might think of a way.
@@Robothut No problem at all. Don't start tearing things apart just for the sake of a video.
Hi John, What can I say....Wow !! This is amazing how fast you whipped ups this Gyro build, this is so cool ! I really appreciate your mechanical genius ! Your Robby builds are very exciting ! Always wanted to build these parts of Robby , I saw someone commented about a Sax valve build , that would be cool , I think that would require a stronger TT gear motor ? Awesome build !!!
The screen used Sax valves were cast aluminum but if the they were 3d printed the mass would be low so a TT motor might do the job. The problem for most would be the size of the head part or display part to hold the sax vales would be quite large for standard home 3d printers. And then where do you stop the build ? Do you make the clear plastic detail parts that poke into the sax valve rest"s ? FDM printers can do truly clear so they would be frosted looking and hard to print.
Because of you, I'm ordering my first 3D printer. I'm not sure if I should thank you, or curse you. :)
You will thank me. It will be the most fun you have had in years. What type printer did you order, that will have a lot to do with if it fun or a problem. :}
@@Robothut it's important for me to buy American, when possible. I bought a TAZ 6. Plus, I got a good deal on it since it was used. :)
@@tzkelley I have never used a LulsBot printer, but I see many guys on RUclips have and seem to like them. And at that price they should be a good printer.
Awesome video!
What amazing job designing this John.
Thank you.
This is great! I love this!
Just finished mine!! Thank you for the materials and guidance!! I’d post a video if I could.....
That's so cool ! Hope your happy with the finished unit. Thank you for letting me know.
@@Robothut I'm adding this to my full size 3d Robby Build. Working on the sax valves next then the 1960's chest with the 3 chase lights. Thanks from a fellow lifelong robot lover!
@@franktproductions5832 Fantastic . Keep me posted on how it all goes. Always nice to here that my time and energy was not wasted.
Hay John there re releasing
The c57-d 1:44 model kit of the saucer. I wonder if you could make a 3dprint to make a motor drive system for that model kit that light up.👍👍👍👍
I would have to get my hands on the NEW kit, then I could see what could be done.
do a new Robby transporter drive video yaaaayyy
That would be fun. But I would have to buy 3 new auto batteries to power the jeep and then get it out of the Hut. So much time and money. But it would be cool.
Hi John , do you have any ideas for other videos related to Robby or Forbidden Planet ? If you don't do a Sax valve mini build , I thought maybe a miniature Krell lock would be cool to do , about maybe 10 inches in height with rotating lock . Builders could add soundtrack of ID coming , that would be pretty cool !
Yes I thought about the Krell lock also. But I am working on a full scale Sax valve build that would have a 2 part frame to hold the Gyros unit, the wig wag and the sax valves. And one day maybe add on the ear scanners, Kind of a cut away of Robbys head so you can see inside and have the mechanical parts working. Just ordered some filament as the parts are large and fill the Prusa MK3 build plate. So once the materials get here I will see if it will work out.
That sounds pretty awesome as a build , very exciting !!! I,m there !
Really enjoying these videos, so much so that I'm finally going to get a 3D printer to make some of these projects. First one will be the blaster. Do any of the other props or replicas of them, from the C-57D crewmen, exist? Wondering about the video/comm unit from their belts?
I absolutely love this series on Robby! Thanks for this! Question on the original acrylic disk, are the grooves on both sides? Also what was the thickness 1/8, 3/16 or 1/4 inch? Do you have any PDF files with 2D drawings of these projects? I'd like to try to scratch build using original materials as much as possible. Again thanks for this series! Looking forward to more!
Afterthought - what are your thoughts on the Starlog magazine poster blueprints for Robby?
The grooves are only on one side of the screen used Robby Gyros, they are there to provide a way to paint in the white rings on the disc. You can view the STL files on any computer that has a program that can view STL files. My windows 10 machine has 3D Builder on it from the factory and can show the parts. But have some one print out the STL file called GyroDiscClearWirerings, for the origional design.
The Star log drawing are not very good.
How can I post some pics to this page? I'm building the Gyro. Love these videos. very detailed without turning into technobabble!!!
If you have signed up for a you tube account then you can post video's for the public or even unlisted then share the link with others you want to see it. Also I post most of my build information on a web site called Alphadrome. To post to Alphadrome you have to join, it free and you can then post pictures and text. here is the link to the gyro build on Alphadrome for example.

What's your guess as to where the original Robbie is? Do you think Fred Barton has it?
Fred does not know either. Not to many people have $5 or $6 Mill laying around for old movie props. I can think of a few that do but so far I have not heard. Last time Bill Malone was asked he said he did not know ether. One day Robby will pop up, we will know.
@@Robothut I could see a scenario where the previous owner wanted it to be taken care of and didn't really care about getting a return on his investment. So, he may have given it to someone he knew would take care of it at no cost. But, who knows?
@@tzkelley Bill Malone was the owner of Robby since the 1970's and We know each other. He put Robby up for auction over a year ago and it sold for over $5mill. Bill tells me he does not know who the new owner is .
Robothut well, there you go!
Hello Robot hut! This is a question for John, the block head of Robby and the shape of the dome? Is the dark areas on the back and sides of Robby’s head the actual dome painted? Or is the top of the clear done and the front area cut off as a separate piece from the back? Thank you for the information, I have a dome on order and it will be my first step to the Robby project. Thank you Jeff Jones
The dome is painted on the sides and back. The done is trimmed to fit up over the front lip and over the fins around the neck base. Other than that, it is a solid one-piece dome.
This is amazing I would like to have those item in my room. Can you selling and what cost?
I have limited time since I spend almost all my time making these videos, it takes weeks to design in 3d cad and print the parts and then shoot the videos. So little time and so much to do. So I share the files and information so other can build there own.
Are you still making these parts ? I work in traditional methods and don't have a printer ,I was interested in the light and the base piece , for it,in another giant steampunk alien cosplay
The STL files are free and posted on thing-i-verse for all to use as they see fit. Every town has people that are into 3d printing you could find them and have them produce the parts for you. Or there are online services that will do the job as well, but that normally costs more money than finding a kid at school that is looking for a project to do.
Hello I tried to 3D print the files to make this and most went well. I am using simplify 3D The large drive gear and the gear to make the 3 disk turn printed but the gear teeth were not connected to the mane part. the teeth came off of both pieces. Does any one have the files that work?
The files work, but simplify 3d does not work with all files. Use a better slicer like Prusa Slicer or Cura, you will have no problem . What is happening is the many of the STL parts are made of more than one part, joined together. Some slicers take these type STL files apart and do not let them merge.
Where can I get a copy of the files for printing these parts of the gyroscope drive system?
Never mind, I found them LOL
John, I just printed the DriveGearShaft and the gear teeth are not printing to the gear its self. Wondering if anyone else having this problem.
Thats odd. I have printed 4 of them now, no problem. If you ran the STL threw a program other than the slicer then that would probably be the reason. What slicer are you using ? I used Prusa Slicer, it supports most all printers and works really very well.
I might try down loading the stl from thing-i-vers and then print it, just incase something has gone wrong with the thing-i-vers upload. The gear files is made of 2 parts, does your slicer seperate the files back out ?
I down loaded the DriveGearShaft file from thing-i-verse and ran it threw 3d builder and Prusa slicer to check for problems. It check out OK. So not sure what slicer you are using and why it would be having a problem.
I'm using Simplify 3D slicer
I will download Prusa slicer and try again. Thanks for your help. Yes I believe my slicer is separating the teeth
What is the height from the bottom of the bell to the top of the light tower.
Depending on what top lamp cover you print the height is around 155mm to 160mm, if I understand your question. You could just load the stl files in a viewer or slicer and get the lengh of the parts in question and add them up to be sure.
@@Robothut thanks for the information.
