That build system you designed probably does have the potential to become pretty popular, like in the way gridfinity has. If you created standard sizes for scaling them down and released them, it would definitely be interesting and I think that lots of people would be interested.
@@lordferdinand85 Which is why I was more specific in my own suggestion. Also, using the modular blocks would require a different design to the tank in any case.
Looks amazing, great design. Can't wait to see the finished car. After watching all of this printer build I would like to see more of it in action. Let's have a bit more footage of the actual printer printing..
Very cool project! This would make an amazing diy kit. It's obviously not practical to 3D print; however, if you had a company manufacture the designs, I imagine it would be extremely popular. Scaled up blocks for hobby building is a pretty cool concept. There's always a bit of satisfaction from assembling some IKEA furniture even if it's a hassle at the time. I like the idea of having a kit that could be reworked later into something else with limited effort. It has real appeal to someone living in an apartment with limited space.
It's practical enough. The larger beams just require either a large volume printer like Ivan built or else a continuous belt bed like the White Knight or the CR-30. The steering pinion and a couple of other parts might require breaking down into smaller prints on any printer smaller than a CR10-S5, though.
Such a cool project! Have you considered buiding a belt printer for the beams? I have been working on my own custom belt machine with makergal extrusion :)
For projects with huge parts like this, I think it would be amazing if you added weight annotations for all of these parts during editing. I understand it would be an undertaking, but the scale of this blows me way. Awesome work!
Awesome video. Love to see how different the route is that you’ve taken for designing all the modular parts compared to Matt. I also enjoyed the segment on explaining the teething issues with your giant printer. I always feel it’s important to share your failures, you tend to learn most from them!
I used to make Lego racing cars, one thing I Remember is the ball joint that was used for angle shaft. also I use the back wheel shaft with a big gear with eccentric holes to make pistons up and down
Amazing Lego inspired building system! I have followed both you and Matt for some time. Matt's builds inspired me to do my own builds. I like to clone small Star Wars Lego sets at a 2.5x scale as that's about the max for large pieces on my Prusa. Keep up the awesome projects.
Very cool modular design. Definitely inspired by Lego, but improved upon for this scale. Looking forward to seeing you drive this around. I'm thinking a stand-up Mecha suit might be cool and doable with this system. And I actually did buy some PolyMaker PLA recently on your endorsement. No red though, I figured they were having to restock after your last order. 😁 Thanks for sharing!
This is so cool! Great design on the building system, and that rack and pinion is so simple but effective. A rack with pitched teeth for better contact with the pinion would probably have better longevity, but this does look more like real technic as is!
That way of locking them together it's really cool I wonder if you could CNC some of the long blocks and then just print the screws. Think I may need to look for a bigger CNC machine then the 3020 though now.
Those components are a great design. I can see that even in 1/2 and 1/4 size they could become useful for temporary (or permanent) frames/fixings/fences in the workshop.
Looking good! :) One thing that kept popping in my head was the print orientation of the screws, if you printed these with screw heads down on the heat bed, wouldn’t you worry they will snap between the layers at some point?
A scaled down version of the "building system" you have would be amazing. Something maybe at the 20cm maximum length so it fan fit the majority of Ender/Prusa machines.
Looks amazing, great post. One suggestion: To improve the way the kart handles during turns, you could include Ackerman steering geometry rather than the perfect parallelogram setup you currently have (shown at 9:10). Basically the wheel on the inside of the turn needs to turn further so that it can correctly follow the track it needs to take. Wikipedia has a good article on it.
You might be able to fix the belt issue your XXL printer is having by using chain drive instead. Like a motorcycle chain. Though that might be to heavy. Do they make aluminum versions of it?
You are a great cad guy! How do you prevent the bolts rattle of their nuts? I also wonder how strong the nuts are because printed standing up which will load them on the layer s?
Hey Ivan! Since you print everything mainly in red color and you need an idea for what to build next, I guess the obvious option is LEGO set 42143 :) life size of course (try to imagine sitting in it)… you may have to upgrade one of your printer's build volumes but hey, who else has a 3D-printed LEGO Ferrari at home? :) I would consider myself a combination of the 3d printer and plotter - large printer bed, small Z-axis height - as in one of yours CNC milling machines :) I hope I helped :D
Neat project as always, Ivan. I kinda dislike that you're going down the clickbait rabbit hole though. I would much rather click on a video with a descriptive title than this mess.
The "bait" part of "click bait" implies it contains false or misleading information. Since the video did contain 3d printed materials as the basis of the video, I would argue the title is not click bait, rather a hook to get you to watch. You would of course see the thumbnail if it showed up in your recommendations, but if it happened to pop up as a notification without a thumbnail, this would imply you are subscribed, in which case you don't need a hook, you likely will watch the video anyways. Regardless, he is simply trying to promote his videos. Since it isn't invasive, and it doesn't contain genuine "click bait", this is something that should be simply ignored or even worthy of praise. This is simply the game he has to play to have any chance of offsetting the costs of making the video. While I'm sure he enjoys it regardless, I'm confident he would not be able to take the time and resources to make all the things he makes without having an audience that provides support. This also means he thinks his idea is good, so he is trying to let more people see it. In other words, shut the frick up. Honestly, if a little thing like a title makes you upset enough to take the time to write a comment, then go back to cable or Netflix, don't cry about independent vloggers trying to promote their products
All I see is an excellent channel. You have to do adds like that in order to attract non subscribers. The more successful his videos the more budget he will have. And so far he does a great job of scaling his videos to the amount of money he has to make them.
What else should you build? A tank of course! I’m going to go home and look at the Lego in my house… I think you could easily do a life size droideka from SW episode one. Or maybe their Bugatti model.
I think it would be a good idea to have jam nuts on that steering shaft. So, where every nut is, there would be a second nut tightened against the first nut (like really old 3D printer designs that used threaded rod). This would prevent your steering from going loose, which would be a bad thing.
Thank you very much. I thought I had a very unique design. The plastic kinda reminded me of coral. So I thought it might make a good art. thank you so much. I wish you have a wonderful day.
Printing such large pieces (as you do), What is your wall count & infill %? Do you have any specific advice for printing "Larger scale" models? It takes me days and days to print some things but you always seem to print amazing amounts of parts for your videos... How do you print so much faster than the rest of us? (More machines?)
Great stuff, amazing. but how these long objects are printed without warping. Is the holes the secret that warping forces are not too strong, or how i wonder. Keep going!

Very ingenious design Lord Spacer, well done!
I love the modular block system you came up with. Really cool idea! Thanks!
That build system you designed probably does have the potential to become pretty popular, like in the way gridfinity has. If you created standard sizes for scaling them down and released them, it would definitely be interesting and I think that lots of people would be interested.
Just my thoughts too!
Would be really interesting with cnc routers and wood.
Otherwise I think it's probably prohibitively expensive if you don't have a sponsor
@@satibel scaled down version wouldn't have to be.
@@conorstewart2214 true, a duplo sized one might be great.
@@satibel Yes, a bit like king size BILOfix
Didn't think I could love your channel any more than I already did! Thanks for making me feel like a kid again!!!
Those failed prints look pretty cool. Nice design too, especially the fasteners you came up with.
he should auction them to donate for a good cause!
its not a mess, its just AI generated hands
imagine making a tank out of those blocks, so cool. love the design and ease of use you came up with
Not just any tank but a full size tank XD enclosed cabin, room for at least three seats, etc...
He already made a tank
@@lordferdinand85 Which is why I was more specific in my own suggestion. Also, using the modular blocks would require a different design to the tank in any case.
DUDE the modularity here, SO COOL! Love this concept, what a great idea and a great way to be able to re-use, re-build, fix, upgrade, etc. Love it!
I love your take on the bricks, so many clever solutions. I am really looking forward to the next video!
2:23 DEEZ NUUUUUTS
what you should do with all the failed prints and goop is grind it up and extrude it into new filament
Looks amazing, great design. Can't wait to see the finished car. After watching all of this printer build I would like to see more of it in action. Let's have a bit more footage of the actual printer printing..
Would love to see you make a video on your 3D-design process. Genius design decisions!
Awesome! I have so much play in my steering 😂
But that's great for "movie like" steering, isn't it? 😂😂
Very cool project! This would make an amazing diy kit. It's obviously not practical to 3D print; however, if you had a company manufacture the designs, I imagine it would be extremely popular.

with the geometry of the beam i don't think it's injection moldable, so it has to be either 3D printed or machined
It's practical enough. The larger beams just require either a large volume printer like Ivan built or else a continuous belt bed like the White Knight or the CR-30. The steering pinion and a couple of other parts might require breaking down into smaller prints on any printer smaller than a CR10-S5, though.
Absolutely amazing. I wish I had the time and dedication to do what you do. Love it. Can’t wait to see the finished project.

Amazing content. What an awesome design. Yes please make these prints available as it would be fantastic to print something like this at home.
1:50 "…official sponsor of my madness‼️" 😂😂👍👍👍👏👏👏I love your madness🥰
Impressive concept‼️ Wonderful video‼️👍😃
If you want to see something similar, look into “GridBeam” it’s basically Lego/Erector Sets, but is made out of steel tubing!
Awesome video. Love to see how different the route is that you’ve taken for designing all the modular parts compared to Matt. I also enjoyed the segment on explaining the teething issues with your giant printer. I always feel it’s important to share your failures, you tend to learn most from them!
I love the way you designed this Ivan. It’s brilliant, and inspiring. Thank you!
Ivan, you need to create a Monster filament recycler!! Put those bad/retired parts to good use!
I used to make Lego racing cars, one thing I Remember is the ball joint that was used for angle shaft. also I use the back wheel shaft with a big gear with eccentric holes to make pistons up and down
Are you printing those screws lying down (length) or are the screw pitch is also where the layers can split from each other?
these builds are getting insane can't wait to see the rest of this one.
What a fantastic connector mechanism.
what filament do you print in? do you use PLA for everything? or PETG? what about on the hotends of your printers? thanks
An absolute genius design and engineering interpretation of the lego system at the human scale. Congrats! Love IT🤩🤪😂
Amazing Lego inspired building system! I have followed both you and Matt for some time. Matt's builds inspired me to do my own builds. I like to clone small Star Wars Lego sets at a 2.5x scale as that's about the max for large pieces on my Prusa. Keep up the awesome projects.

The way you did the pins is great. Still might need the bolts like Matt, but way better locking
That way of locking them together it's really cool I wonder if you could CNC some of the long blocks and then just print the screws. Think I may need to look for a bigger CNC machine then the 3020 though now.
Love the snap-lock nut design! Great and fun video again-thank you!
Can't wait to see the rest of the build, or the race. :D
All hail Lord Spacer!!
I couldn't help but wonder about a 22.5 and 45 degree bevel gear for your rack and pinion steering for different frame lengths
Those components are a great design. I can see that even in 1/2 and 1/4 size they could become useful for temporary (or permanent) frames/fixings/fences in the workshop.
Great video, it's a neat print. Can you show some clips of it printing. Would like to see it in action. Or maybe some timelapse.
Brilliant design, Ivan! I mean... Lord Spacer! 😃
Fantastic work!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looking good! :) One thing that kept popping in my head was the print orientation of the screws, if you printed these with screw heads down on the heat bed, wouldn’t you worry they will snap between the layers at some point?
Absolutely brilliant work 👏👏
You made the machine work and you're making a cool project with it. 100% well done old bean!
It would be great to know how much filament was used incase someone wanted to try building one for themselves
Wild guess, but 10-12 kilos already in parts he assembled so far.
Fabulous, fanciful fabrications - fantastic!
Wow! Lord Spacer, you have truly outdone yourself with this system
Omg I want to build a tent out of those giant lego parts! It would make a super strong outdoor camping shelter.
Hello ! What is the music at 12:36 pliz ?
A scaled down version of the "building system" you have would be amazing. Something maybe at the 20cm maximum length so it fan fit the majority of Ender/Prusa machines.
yes please...id love the scaled down version of the blocks...father son can build together
Espectacular como de costumbre, felicidades! Espero ver la carrera pronto!
Really nice., Will you release these blocks?
Looks amazing, great post. One suggestion: To improve the way the kart handles during turns, you could include Ackerman steering geometry rather than the perfect parallelogram setup you currently have (shown at 9:10). Basically the wheel on the inside of the turn needs to turn further so that it can correctly follow the track it needs to take. Wikipedia has a good article on it.
@GeoffTV2 : If you watch the video again, Ivan covered the lack of Ackerman, and said it was a challenge for the future.
@John Colvin Ah, OK thanks. That's what you get for skip-watching a video.
Cool new project, looking forward to seeing the kart build and end colab challenge
Ivan.... what have you done???? Just when I think you can't possibly build anything crazier with 3D Printers, you go all Life-Sized-LEGO on us!
Nice 👍🏻
It’ll be cool to see the whole thing completed.
😁👍🏻
There is only one thing that you really need to make with those blocks...A tank! Awesome block design
Can you share the information how many outer layers you print and data about the infill type and density and layer-thickness and nozzle?
You might be able to fix the belt issue your XXL printer is having by using chain drive instead. Like a motorcycle chain. Though that might be to heavy. Do they make aluminum versions of it?
That's a lot of work !!!!! Nice video !!!!!
You are a prolific and innovative designer. Miranda blocks could be a product - but injection molded.
You're a wild man! And I mean that in the nicest way. It's always interesting to see your next build.
Obvious choice for next project is the Technic Backhoe Loader. Might need a "few" more parts though.
You are a great cad guy! How do you prevent the bolts rattle of their nuts? I also wonder how strong the nuts are because printed standing up which will load them on the layer s?
Some PLA TDS call for 59 MPa tensile strength in XY and 52 MPa in Z, difference isn't as big as how much undersized his nuts are
Excellent, looking forward to the race 👍😎
POLYMAKER!!!!! Woohoo!! Great video and so much fun!
Great project, I'm quite curious how sturdy it is, what portion of infill there is and how much they weigh.

I think the biggest advantage of this size Lego is that it won't hurt so much when you step on it with bare feet
This is amazing! You should sell these!! We could make SOO many cool things with these! Can't wait to see the finished cart!
Amazing build! I would love to see some other builds made with these, how about a trebuchet?
Why oh why do giant Legos make me so happy. :D I want to do this!
Love your engineering brain Ivan 🤠⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Every grown child is giddy to see this project. I know I am!
love it your best print design to date well done Ivan
There are some models of engines made in Technics LEGO parts. That would be cool.
What else should you build? A tank of course!
I’m going to go home and look at the Lego in my house… I think you could easily do a life size droideka from SW episode one. Or maybe their Bugatti model.
Na minha opinião esse e o canal mais fantástico do RUclips, criativo e instigante a todos os públicos!
I think it would be a good idea to have jam nuts on that steering shaft. So, where every nut is, there would be a second nut tightened against the first nut (like really old 3D printer designs that used threaded rod). This would prevent your steering from going loose, which would be a bad thing.
Amazing.
You might consider turning the gear on the rack-and-pinion into a 45 degree (beveled) gear, to get better engagement with the rack.
Love it can’t wait to see it finished
I would say to keep the fronts. Of your 3-D printer extrusion support frames. As art pieces because they’re curious appearance and look.
Thank you very much. I thought I had a very unique design. The plastic kinda reminded me of coral. So I thought it might make a good art. thank you so much. I wish you have a wonderful day.
Lego lawyers letter in the post already no doubt 😟
Love it 🥰
You crazy, Like positively crazy :D Great idea. I was so curious what you will do with your big printer and this has endless possibilities..
Very cool !
Realy would like a scale down version for my Ender 3 !
Legend has it, that if Ivan ever prints in any colour other than red, the earth will tilt on its access, and we'll all fall off...
Printing such large pieces (as you do), What is your wall count & infill %? Do you have any specific advice for printing "Larger scale" models? It takes me days and days to print some things but you always seem to print amazing amounts of parts for your videos... How do you print so much faster than the rest of us? (More machines?)
Time to combine the tank and your new not-legos - Half-Track-Kart!!
What I would’ve done to actually connect them was use the Lego pins so to speak but with threading built in that way both sides can be screwed down
Oh... these might make neat patterns for doing some sand casting and getting a bunch of these in aluminum... =D
I'm curious how the bolts hold up, not sure what the shear strength is on (I'm assuming PLA plastic)
Wahoo you made it better then Lego. Thanks for sharing.
wow, those failed parts are art! :)
