I have no idea what this is but it’s awesome!
It is an over engineered container designed to stick to Ferromagnetic surfaces. It looks cool as hell, but it's nothing special with regards to function.
Reminds me of those sticky mines from Golden Eye or other video games.
It is obviously a magnetic pod, it says it right there in the title you dingus
It’s actually very well designed and is definitely something I’d make. Nice job on the execution of the design. Well done.
Same here
That's the most over engineered dip can I've ever seen lol
Very cool
Yee yee
That demonstration of deploying the feet was so satisfying! Excellent design work!
I'm thoroughly impressed by its design really beautiful!
Having recently done a 3D printed project that relied on embedded magnets to hold something on a vertical metal surface, the design was able to hold a lot more once I added some rubber strips to the base. Once it sticks onto the wall, sliding it around becomes virtually impossible. You can even add a channel to the base so the thickness of the rubber is offset to only a fraction of a millimeter that sticks out and makes contact.
You should use TPU as a skid plate for the bottom for increased traction.
My bad, should have keep reading the comments, this is redundant.
nah, it's always great to get good constructive advice from experienced peeps. Thank you 🙏🏼 🙇🏾♂️.
We were actually planning on trying some of the new AMS friendly TPU Bambu just released to see if we can print integrated nubbins on the feet. 😉
Love the attention to detail in all your work!
the deploying sound give eargasm

Really awesome detail and execution! Subscribed!
I never thought I needed this but now I need this.
Incredible work, as usual. Your, is one of my favorite channel.
I wish I had people like you in my "Bambulab functional 3d printing" group.
I'll share your video.
Nice but what hell is a POD HOLDER.
Beautiful as always
Three supports are one of the best inventions in the whole FDM printing space ever
Always knocking it out of the park with your designs and ideas. LOVE this channel.
I'm not sure how i haven't found this channel until now.
Excellent work.
Reminds me of the mines from GoldenEye on the n64. 🤣
@@corvusaflame713 I still have no clue what this is. A magnet holder?

"Mines only" was such a fun and stupid way to play that game at parties.
Hiding proxy mines under ammo crates was always fun.
@AJB2K3 you could stick the mines to the ammo crates, then pick up the crate for ammo, and it would make the mine invisible.
adding some sort of rubberized pad would increase holding power by a lot.
This could work great with an organizational system like gridfinity to make use of the additional m3 slots, maybe pod-finity? Perhaps with a mounting system like Displate that would stick to a normal wall as well! Great work, and thanks for sharing.
I really love this channel and how they explore 3D printing. Keep going !
Insanely cool design. Love your projects.
fun build. like the laser work
That looks great in both forms.
Love it! Nice design and details!
this thing is gorgeous.
Looks awesome!
I think I've seen these flying over New Jersey at night
I'm imagining a version of this that's mostly built out of cut aluminum, and the snap on feet have small rubber feet to improve friction to counter the extra weight for potential sliding. Then creating a foam insert for the interior to hold whatever items are being stored inside.
I’m sure if you wanted you could have this printed/machined by a company like pcbway in aluminum or whatever material you want. It would be expensive but it would absolutely be possible to do exactly what you want.
Nice project, very interesting, congrats
To improve magnetic force, alternate the magnets (so long as the distance between opposite poles is significantly larger than the distance between the magnets and the surface to stick to) and put a ferritic plate behind all the magnets. This joins the flux lines on the back side, increasing the strength of the flux lines on the front. I did this for a magnetic project and it worked excellently, but it did require two pieces to clamp together for assembly, and it was a bit of a pain to do so without magnets flipping everywhere.
Are you using a brass or stainless nozzle? I imagine carbon steel nozzles could pose a problem when embedding magnets into a print. Though maybe the spring steel build plate helps.
Also minimise the distance between the magnets and the surface as much as possible. A rubberised base would increase friction and do more to reduce slippage than increasing the number of magnets. Rectangular magnets magnets would be more efficient as well. Probably not enough space to set up Halbach arrays.
Magnetic field lines can also be focused on a particular side (without a ferrite core) when setting the magnets as a Halbach array, which increases the flux density on that side hence improves the magnetic force. - EDIT: Just saw that there is a video about the Halbach array on this channel! Wonderful :)
Government doesn't want you to know this. But it works.
I doubt it'd be an issue, but if for some reason the magnets do want to pop out you could just use a touch of super glue. Those magnets aren't ever getting out anyhow.
Awesome! so cool! This would be great for refrigerators, garage cabinets, or inside of campervans to leverage vertical storage. I though you were labeling the magnets with a "z" at first, lol ;)
Yeah, we've actually gotten some comments that 'Z' is the first initial of what they call 'South'🤦🏽♂️....sometimes the hard way is the only way to find things out 🤷🏽♂️. Gonna need to be more careful with magnet diagrams in the future.
Loving this. Don’t exactly know what this is for but the video reminds me of the instructional videos in Lost :)
That somehow simultaneously fills us with pride, while also being a terrifying realization...
but we're also now considering giving everything a faux Super 8 treatment in post...🤔..🤣
this is pretty cool thanks for sharing your work and i look forward to building one
I use a thin piece of rubber, even sticky dots, as the contact surface in scenarios like this. The magnet has plenty of pulling power, but the coefficient of friction gives you an easy way to scale up the force required to make the pod slide.
Even hot glue works quite well and could be applied to channels cut into the base.
Hell yeahhh!!!!
Nice container, also fellow countycomm enjoyer spotted lol.
If you add an o ring regardless of thickness, it would significantly add some grip for you! combined with the magnet’s strength, it should be significantly improved. Awesome design!
wow! true inspiration. I got metal garage furniture all over my office, this is going to look amazing here hehe
Haha! Same! Also kinda want to stick them to the hatch on my SUV 🤣
@batchresearchlab another project for you, a high tech hitch ball cover hehe
🤔💭
Subscribed, love the simple narration and no annoying over the top editing etc. What laser and press were used for this project? I used to have a laserpecker but it always had trouble properly engraving 3D printed parts.
Not a builder and am thus not even remotely sure on how this would be done, but since it is for vertical surfaces it might be neat to have a lid design that has something like window that can be opened so you can grab things inside without them falling out, first thought that came to mind was one of those aperture openings but just on half of the lid. Might be neat to have it open by twisting but I imagine that might be a pain to do.
Another impressive project. It’s really amazing how a laser engraving can make a 3d print look that much more refined.
I recall you have a $2000 Xtool? Would a $300 engraver be able to do the same?
depends on what you mean by "the same". Could it engrave words in thermoplasatics? YES
@@BarronBros1822 Like visually. I know the expensive ones can cut wood and other materials but just for text etching would it look as clean?
We regularly use an xTool F1, and increasingly the xTool F1 Ultra. We also have access to a MOPA 100W galvo and some gantry-drive CO2s. Beyond that we can't really comment on what we haven't had too much experience with.
What we can say is that if your aim is to do fine graphic/marking work, then something that is a galvo is probably going to be the direction you wan to go. Gantry laser machines just can't reach the speeds sometimes required (sometimes upwards of 1000 mm/sec or faster). You don't need that much power (the F1 only has a 2W IR and that's what we use most of the time for the detail stuff. Laser type also makes a big difference; we seem to be getting the most range from the IR vs the Blue Diode laser.
When it came out, the F1 was one of the few plausibly affordable, non-industrial galvo laser machines available. Since then, it seems there are a lot of other alternatives that have come to market. And now, it certainly doesn't cost as much as it did when it was brand new to the market. $2K USD seems high for that machine, it's gotta be less than that now?
The best thing to do before you buy anything might be to print out some test plates of your most commonly use filament, then take them to a local maker shop or maybe university lab and just run some tests? Hope that helps a bit, good luck
@zackj997 the user interface and programming is gautenteed to be way worse. Should do the deed tho
The Kampfer chain mine!!!!
from the thumbnail i already thought it looked like the zeon chain mine =) was very surprised to see yall thought the same XD.
Getting a Bambu Cool Plate SuperTack build plate resolved all my adhesion issues. Would not recommend for thin prints, it sticks too well.
Was able to build this and have another unassembled. Very cool design overall. @batchreseachlab Can you do a slight change or addition of a stronger spring and taller buttons ? (stick out farther) Also the lid is a tight fit printing at .15mm on a Ultimaker5. So if others print this, it may be good to print the lid ring scaled up to 100.5%, I have to do some carving/sanding to get to fit nice.
Never thought about laser engraving 3D prints... I thought they were stickers/ water-slide decals from the thumbnail.
The end result looks amazing! 👌
I have a 3D printing business and I just told my wife "I *need* a laser engraver" and showed her this lol
But that it doesn't burn the plastic? Honest question. This is really cool.
@thiagosanches6754 it does burn the surface of the plastic, but the laser is so quick/ intense that it doesn't melt the plastic.
Varying the power/ speed of the laser changes how light or dark the result is. It's pretty cool! 😎👍
I love the designs.
You should get a pop filter for your mic. It is a very small thing but the presentation is inmaculate otherwise so it does stick out when the audio levels are peaking or I hear you breathing.
Please take this as constructive, everything I have seen on this channel makes me want to start designing again. Fantastic stuff!
For some reason I thought the title of the video was "Magnetic Pipe Bomb" and thought it was a very bold choice to publish it on RUclips.

Very Cool container 😎
this channel is awesome
Wow, this so cool even though I don't know what should I put in there if I owned it. 😂
god those are cool, if you get some double sided tape and rubber or soft tpu, and attach them to the bottom of the feet , you could have additional traction. if you put them on the bottom of the body, it'll also act as a surface protector.
im gonna see if there's a bluetooth speaker or similar that would fit inside
OOOO or, maybe an NVME housing. and a magnetic sheet on a laptop lid. most impractical but cool housing ever. and you'll feel like a zeonic front sabatour every time you use your nvme.
not sure if laptops are still bothered by magnets though
We have been testing parts for an NVME case in the same aesthetic. If there’s enough interest we may try and accelerate that project. We ordered the raw USB C boards and have been starting to explore how it might assemble.
beautiful!!!
6:51 Magic? or just magical to see it functioning like that
you should be able to array the magnets in the main body such that the fields bias to 1 side and compound better for stronger gripping force
We've gotten quite a few suggestions to try this! We'll need to work out what pattern might work best 🤔 Thank you!
@@batchresearchlab so i noticed, thanks for this, learned something for a project of my own
This looks great, I want one, what is it?
Looks like I need a lazer engraver now
Excellent
This sounded like I was learning how a plumbus is made
Beautiful!!
Please use AA batteries on the side or inside, to give us a more precise sense of scale.
Okay, so in a pinch, I couldn't find any AA batteries (we had tons of AAAs though, but I thought that might be even more confusing), but I figured Legos© would also be fairly universal? The '.....volume' image on the landing page has been updated. Hopefully that works for you and gives you a better idea of what might fit inside?
Pretty cool 🎉 give us the option to buy the mounted item too.
nice. very nice
I do not know, if I need one!
The old high temp / smooth PEI plate of bambu isn't great in terms of bed adhesion unfortunately. The textured plate is great but .. textured, so not always what you want. Recently, however, Bambu has brought out a new "cool plate super tack" built plate and it's pretty insane in terms of bed adhesion. I would totally recommend trying it out if you have issues with models like these. Very cool project as well btw :)
I think you should've explored use cases more
Perfect for a raspberry pi zero w and a camera module and a few batteries as a surveillance device.
Or stick an apple AirTag in it and stick them on cars as a tracking devices
Cause the design screams of that type of use. 😂
Zieg Zeon!
Looks cool, but what is it for?
Incorporating a **soft** TPU pad onto the 'snap out feet' might help it to stick with more weight inside - better traction when stuck on a vertical surface.
Or alternately, a slight recess in the feet where you could stick silicon 'feet' for the same effect.
Yes! We’ve talked about that as well. Maybe we can tweak in a revision at some point. Thanks for the pointers.
@@batchresearchlab Perhaps there are alternatives to TPU, it sadly lacks the "stickiness" of rubber... something I recently encountered while making lids and sieve inserts for glass spice bottles. The friction between glass and TPU was almost nonexistent, forcing me to rethink the entire project. Initially, I had planned for a friction fit, but instead, I had to design a solution where I slip the squished TPU part down the inside neck of the bottle. Once in place, the TPU expands to form a small overhang exactly where the bottle neck ends and the main body of the bottle begins. The final mounting relies on the low friction between TPU and glass, combined with the resistance of the TPU to be compressed small enough to pass back through the narrower neck.
Sweet!
Ps for that spring, @4:24, isnt a zig zag pattern stronger? That would have two attachments vs that single one you have now
Not quite sure what you mean, but we used a curved design for the flat springs to distribute the compression forces more evenly throughout the length of the spring. Sharper corners tend to concentrate those forces at the angles, increasing the likelihood of those areas failing/breaking.
If you know you know, Act accordingly!
Instead of all north facing up on the bottom magnets, why not do a hallbach array?
You (and some other peeps) are absolutely right! Look out for an update video😉
I notice that you orient all the magnets in the base with matched polarities, but am curious if something like a Halbach Array could be used
We've gotten quite a few suggestions to try this! You're in good company👍🏼. One of the things we'd need to figure out is how to prevent the magnets from repel-flipping each other during the installation step. We may need to stagger the cavity heights so that we can stagger the installation by getting some sealed-in before the others. But that will eat a bit into the interior volume.🤔
@@batchresearchlabI think you can get Neodymium Magnets in rectangular bars? Perhaps assemble the array on a piece of tape then drop it in as a unit (square?)
@@batchresearchlab - So, through a little searching, they make them with poles laid out Diametrically, which, if available in the same diameter, could work
A little dab of CA glue could prevent them flipping if that's an issue, or add a nodule to the cavity for a friction fit
That could be excellent for geocaching! 🤔🫡🙂
Laser engraving turns grey printed PLA white? Or did you backfill the engraved areas and use camera tricks to make it look like it was all happening at once? I would have thought a high powered laser would darken the PLA, but I'd never tried it.
The laser bubbles or 'foams' many variations of PLA, which results in a lighter color.
www.permanentmarking.com/the-4-most-common-types-of-laser-marking/
The footage is sped up (usually between 2x or 3x, depending on the clip), but other than that, no other special effects were used. We've found that laser effects different materials in different ways. PTEG for instance, can darken or lighten depending on the laser settings.
Now add a laser and it’s a perfect prop
Where does the circle go? Right the square hole.
I like the attention to detail😉
Yeah, it's a bit difficult to slide a round magnet into the side of a round hole once most of that hole is printed.

what brand of laser engraver is that?

How do you find out what is north and what is south on those unmarked magnets?
We used a polarity indicator/tester:
ruclips.net/video/Z4cwj2_VbZk/видео.htmlsi=_q8S59cwSkVcpsPw
The way you labeled the magnets would cause great confusion in my country hahaha! (We say 'Noord' and 'Zuid' for North and South, can you spot the issue?). Anyway, I always only label one side anyway so it's not a real issue. I just thought it was funny.
😳 Thanks for letting us know! We'll keep that in mind for next time. We can see how labeling an isometric projection in this way could be confusing and possibly misleading. We struggled a bit with the colors, too. Many diagrams use Red for North and Blue for South, but many polarity detectors (especially the more affordable ones) only have red and green lights.
Maybe try adding an arrow that points north…
😂😂😂
This looks a lot like the circular part of a Mega Drive / Genesis, lol.
Is this print parametric? I love this but I’d like the container to be deeper.
Unfortunately, this was direct-modeled (and in a freeform and relatively undisciplined way, I'm afraid 😬). But because of the way these parts (and hardware) work together, there really are only a few very specific places that can be made variable without causing one part to become incompatible with the others. We're currently going back to see if we can clean up the parameter history to see if we can get the height/depth to be variable (and still have it work with the lid without modification to the lid) 🤞🏼. In the mean time, we're also prepping some updates to the file package and we'll include a slightly 'deeper/taller' version that may work for you.
What is this? But looks so cool

Can you tell me how you are able to do the words/graphics on the Magpod, is it a clear sticker cut from a Cricut?
They are laser-etched into the material. You can see that process at 6:27 in the video.
what is the laser printer u used? pretty cool!

And what it is? (Not to sound condescending but...) is a box with magnets?
An overcomplicated but good looking box.... xD!!!! Is increible what a little bit of "overengineering explanation" can fluff a lot a simple build... Great video!
at 7:29 did you say 165mm³ (cubic millimetres)? That cant be right. More like 165cm³ (= 165,000mm³)
😅 You're absolutely right! Oh man, that's embarrassing🤦🏽♂️ . Even a standard die 🎲 is over 3000 cubic mm!
What laser marker do you have?
Most of our videos to date include one of the two xTool F Series lasers. We also have a 100w MOPA fiber and a couple of CO2 lasers that we may feature in future builds/tutorials. Let us know if you have interest in anything in particular! Thanks for watching.
But what does it do?
