Polymaker Hook Tournament: Round 1 Part 1/2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Polymaker is hosting a 3D Printed Hook Tournament.
We invited the 3D printing community to show off their engineering skills and design the strongest hook!
During this single-elimination tournament, hooks are facing each other in a tensile strength contest until one of them breaks or let go. From the qualifiers to the final, only one will survive! However, the top 3 hooks will be rewarded with prizes.

Could you specify the maximum loads achieved in this first round?
Unfortunately this will spoil the future battles so we will only share the maximum load of the final battle.
@@Polymaker Are you considering releasing this data after the final? Or at least test unused hooks for those who request it? Some of us were hoping we'd at least get to know this even if we were eliminated early.
Like the others, a bit of slow motion and a display of the force in play as it climbs (maybe a graph and a scrolling number?) Would be awesome! Did any of the survivors take damage in those most violent of failures? That's a lot of energy bouncing around with steel objects crashing around with them! Loving this, it's freaking AWESOME!
The latest battles will be recorded with a special slow-mo camera. Displaying the load will spoil the future battles so we will only share the maximum load of the final battle.
We did see hooks damaged after the first round which affected the performance of their next rounds.
Thank you for the positive feedback, we will start brainstorming soon on our next tournament!
@@Polymaker Displaying the load will only reveal the maximum strength of the losing hook, which won't go on to the next round anyway.
Made it past the first round!
Congratulations
No Mc voiceover :( I like the slo mo's😎👍
720p? in 2020? cmon guys..
So Awesome! I get why there is no load gauge or slo-mo, I bet this is truly time-consuming. Could you consider it for the final rounds?
You are right, and yes we are putting the necessary resources to have a special slow-mo camera for the latest rounds and we will share the load of the final battle.
I would have liked to see the measured forces aswell
Unfortunately this will spoil the future battles so we will only share the maximum load of the final battle.
I'm betting on designs like 1:24, 2:30 and 5:44 with small distance between the metal hooks enabling maximum possible cross section area for a given volume. 1:52 seems to have done a good job eliminating weak points. we'll have to see.
If the hook is made optimally, the weakest area ends up being the area inside the s-hook, so there is a maximum cross-sectional area available. Beyond that, it's removing weak points like you said.
My design doesn't end up breaking as much as the plastic cold-flows around the metal hook. Basically the metal hook just pulls itself right through the plastic once the PSI is high enough! It's pretty cool to watch. Hopefully my hook will last long enough to get filmed with the high-speed cameras!
@@BrianBartlow amazing! Is your design shown in the video? Did I miss it?
@@devalopr I have a hook in the contest, but I'm not yet sharing which one. :)
@@BrianBartlow I told you which one I am on Twitter. It's only fair!! :-)
4:22 lmao
hahaha I had the same reaction
🥶I’m very scared about Dacron
Made it past the first round:-D
GO "KONG"! 8:04
You beat me (3Dirigo)! :-) Yours looked very strong! Interested to see what force mine failed at.
@@jamesanderson2381 Thanks!
Mine consistently failed at 1350 pounds on my home test rig.
1350? Wow thats a lot!... I should have tested too lol..
Congratulations
I love the ingenuity of many of these designs.
That said, it does seem like quite a few of the carabiner-like hooks would be impossible to flex enough to insert a metal ring through the C- or S-hook opening. Arguably that makes them little different from O- or 8-hooks.
Clever or cheating? I'll let you decide ;-D
Nice. I was expecting a bit slower slow-mo. The green hooks looks failing on print settings or worse material.
The latest battles will be recorded with a special slow-mo camera.
Why is the metal hook at 3:00 different from the other Tests?
7:21 I'm betting on this one
i am the white one :D
beast hook mate, I feel like you are a strong chance
I am the blue one. You are a tough one! Congrats and a nice design.
The failure load would make the battles easier to compare!
They shouldn't show the failure loads just yet... it would take the tension (;)) out for next rounds because you allready know the outcome if you compare with previous rounds.
@@Johan-ul9jb Correct :)
@@Polymaker but you'd only know the strength of the one that actually failed. It would only tell you that the winner is stronger then that. Since we'd never learn how strong the winner really is you couldn't even guess at future tests. It would tell you how strong each losing hook is letting us know the real 3 strongest hooks since single elimination only finds the strongest.
@@NotWorkingAtAll I think it will give a pretty good idea of the strong hooks and weak ones, if one hook start deforming dangerously at 200kg but win while another dont even move and win at 500kg, then I would have a pretty good guess :)
I think I've watched this a hundred times analyzing each hook.
Is it possible to get a list of winners? Or maybe an updated bracket?
Brian Bartlow has started a Google Sheet with the bracket. He started with Group 1 and I've filled in Group 3 so far. We could use help getting the other Groups entered too. Here's the link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ak39wI0D2ykOW9amTGFo7kcENwWOXbS3Q0nr73FZZI/edit#gid=0
The brackets will be updated today after the release of the second part of Round 1:

@@twinturbostang Nice information gathering work :)
@@Polymaker Thanks! I appreciate all the effort you guys have put into this. I know for sure this has been a lot of work!
