Great build and documentary, my dude! I love that you not only shouted out the designer of this, but talked up his improvements to the project. That's class on display.
Thanks man. Yeah the Buster Beagle design is sweet
hell yeah!! Lets make some molds!
Yessirrrrr!
I swear to god you are the only guy I know who would be crazy enough to put a 200C accidental firestarter in his car. I support the hell out of it though.
Lmao true
Your channel has become one of my favorites recently, your personality and methods are truly inspiring and entertaining, like "helping" a friend with their projects but actually just standing around watching in awe as they do what you can only dream of.
Thank you- I love that, being in the workshop along the ride is totally the feel I'm going for
Keep inspiring!
🙏
I can't wait to see your TableTop Game!
So good!
I can't wait to share it :) Thank you!
Teaming up eith miscast has to be the best crossover ever 🔥 you guys have the exact same vibe
Very cool!
🙏
found you through william osmand, stayed for the ingenuity and inspiration of the common man. keep up the good work
Thank you
Me too man, Best choice I made was staying
Ngl, have binge watched every video since i found your channel 1 day ago. The cinematography and projects are so inspirational. Maybe i should fix my old coolpix point and shoot?
Hell yeah, thank you! Yeah even if you don't fix it just tearing things apart and seeing what's going on inside is fun sometimes
so glad you got a shout out on williams channel so we could enjoy your vids man, the look and feel of your videos is fantastic and your context is great, thanks for sharing with us
Cool looking project! Looking forward to seeing how this shapes up for you
Thank you! I'm excited
this is cool, definitely eager to hear more about the tabletop game
Hell yeah, I'm excited to share more
I love the aesthetic of your build- your use of wood is fantastic- but it is the execution of your work, so well shot and put together, that makes it obvious this channel is destined to massively blow up. I know you say you "try to avoid talking about things too far in advance before they actually happen" (4:34) ...But it's nice to be here at 15.5k subscribers, knowing it won't be too far from now that you're at 100K.
Thank you man! 100k will be sick
found your channel today and have had an absolute blast going through your old videos and understanding your ethos for making. I keep thinking "this guy gets it"
really excellent stuff man
very cool, didn't know an injection molding thing can be made at home
For real!
Love the idea of a tabletop game!!
Thank you! Very excited about it
Not what I was expecting, but still very interesting.
Never know what to expect out of my studio :) Thank you
So i've watched about 7 of your videos, and never glanced at your channel, the viewer count or comments once, and honestly i thought you had a massive channel, your production is really high quality, i LOVE your videos, and your crazy diy approach resonates deeply with me, dude keep up the great work, and keep your template, your voice is soothing, and the eerie background music combined with the warm color of your videos are SO calming.
Im gonna check out Buster Beagle 3d's video out now!
Fantastic! I really dig your style of storytelling. Looking forward to each new upload from you
I would definitely measure the current draw from the battery with this setup and do some math before depending on it for a full day of injection molding. Anything where you're intentionally generating heat means super high power usage. Regular car batteries are really optimized to put out short bursts to turn over an engine then immediately get charged again. Sustained power draw can damage them. It would suck to get there on the day and drain your battery after only a few parts (and then be left with a dead car battery to boot!). You might want to look into deep cycle lead batteries, or invest in some LiFePO4 cells.
Love the videos dude! Looking at some other comments I really appreciate you cutting out the solder on crimped wire part to not accidentally give bad advice. Really speaks to the respect you have for the audience
I've been wondering why I have yet to see a 3d printer on your channel. That's seems like something you would be doing a lot. Keep up the good work man!
Thanks Wood man ... I enjoyed the video during morning coffee.
Thank you sir
Love the background music, very fitting to your voice
The first moment you turned it on with that controller isn't impatient, it's just a test of making sure it works, atleast that is my view on that one, but love the video dude, thanks for sharing these fun projects
Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you Jesse🙏
I have been watching Miscast for years, it is so cool tgat yoh teo are collabing! Im so excited! What days are you and Trent going to be setting up shop?
I know, so sick! I've been following him for a while too! Plans aren't ironed out yet, but I'll mention details in another video before the con I'm sure, or Instagram at the very least
wonderful plastic fumes
awesome vid as usual
Wonderful plastic fumes! Thats why I run it outside haha. Thank you
Awesome project :D
I used the exact same electronics to build a heat treating oven for knives, these small PID controllers and solid state relais are super versatile :)
if you are planning on creating the moulds yourself, i would suggest looking into building a microwave foundry. there are several tutorials here on youtube and they seem to work just as well and might even last longer than the typical trash can foundry.
Love watching your content
Thank you
Absolutely awesome. Love every bit of it.
actually so awesome, love your stuff man
Thank you 🙏
thank you
This is such a cool project and has me pricing out my own. I can't wait to see your progress on the tabletop game and to hopefully play it someday
Really cool build. Thanks for sharing.
I work in injection molding (as a machine operator prior to a supervisory role) so I'm really excited to see this play out! The Buster Beagle is pretty cool too. The newer editions bring a lot of sophistication to the process.
i was sitting here watching it and like I saw like come in like come on, this is amazing!!!
I heard space ship miniatures and tabletop game and you just went into my top 5 favourite channels. I am eternally on the lookout for space themed tabletop games.
bro that is just damn genius
amazing video as always
(also you should check local junkyards to see if you can find a replacement for that shattered headlight lol)
delightful that's super cool
This is amazing Evan!
Tabletop Game!
:)
awesome project. Let me have one smartass comment: Don't put solder on wires you are about to crimp/clamp. The reason: The solder is never totally solid an will give over time, so the contact gets worse over time and resistance might increase and with that heat and it might become a fire hazard one day. This btw is an official rule to follow for electricians in Germany ;) Ok enough preaching, I'm looking forward to the injection molding video :D
Thank you for the pointer! I should have thought to check that beforehand. I cut that line from the vid so I don't give any bad info :)
@@EvanMonsma Great idea 👍 btw crimping first and then soldering would be fine.
9:07 has some really strong How It's Made vibes
Cool video Evan....came across your shelf video first and enjoyed that. Keep up the good work!! Would love to know what books you have on your shelves....I always enjoy checking out people's books...it's like looking into their brain....thanks.
Too many things I haven't read haha. A lot of the books on that shelf are old thrift store finds that have a lot of cool photos and diagrams, I pull them out occasionally for design inspiration. Need to set up a second shelf for the stuff I actually will read
What a beautiful video. I love your aesthetic, you are an amazing content creator and you will most definitely go car! :)
Let's get it!
Yessirrrrr!
@EvanMonsma just finished up the vid. Can't wait to see the proper molds next week🫡
Love it man, keep up the nice relaxing content!
ooooooo yeah good bedtime vibes!
Can you please make a playlist with "ALL" your videos? It will help you get more views as well.
awww yeah
Dude can you please do a video of the mods you've done to you car and what's going on there!? It looks cool!
There's some videos up on my car already but I haven't gone too in-depth yet. There will definitely be more coming as the weather starts to warm up this spring/summer!
@@EvanMonsma cool! I will check them out. The dash looks like something from back to the future and I think I saw a massive subwoofer in the back?
very nice video
Pretty nice)) use a cheap blender or coffee grinder to shred that plastic
yummy plastic fumes
:)
great video and channel, just be be aware that one should not solder crimp connections, as over time solder can deform under stress and make your connection loose
Thank you- I should have double checked that before uploading
DO NOT INJECTION MOLD AND DRIVE, EVAN!
I'll try not to do both at once :)
Great work as always! Are the exposed wire connections live? no safety nerd hate, i think thats cool in its own right if so lol
Yea I should probably cover them now that you bring it up haha
Hey man I rocked uncovered PSU connections on my ender 3 for a few months, it'll be fineeee (probably should yeah lmao)@@EvanMonsma
You want to add virgin plastic too, or it reduces the durability of the recycled stuff
Yeah boi. Sqrrrrt.
Yo! Space themed table game. If you need some help I am all in.
Thank you 🙏
Well fuck. You know how long ive wanted an injection molder? And now you tell me theres a really cheap way to do it!
This should be a really ambicious, difficult build, I can't believe that guy created a machine that is so (dare I say) "easy" to build. Still, I don't know if I could do it. I'm sure you will, though. Keep us updated on your tiny spacecraft!
I am glad you are sharing your builds, I really enjoy every video :) Thanks!
I wanna share RetroTech Journals injection molder build, he built it from a pneumatic press. Just because I think you might get a kick out of it:
ruclips.net/video/_a7usMe_K38/видео.html&pp=ygUaaW5qZWN0aW9uIG1vbGQgbWFjaGluZSBkaXk%3D
Happy mini making :)
Thank you asslord 🙏. Honestly it was easier than I thought it would be, but we'll see how it holds up operating over time and how I modify the design. Also RetroTech's design is sick- some sort of powered injection eventually could be sick for this setup
$40 injection molding?! Oooo
This thing is awesome! but BE WARNED, there are a ton of knockoff relabeled and legitimately dangerous chinese made SSRs (Solid State Relays) like the one in this project. How bad are the bad ones? Well, they catch on fire. I STRONGLY recommend anybody attempting this kind of project sped $40+ on a quality one from a reputable source.
The relay heatsink being screwed directly onto wood gives me massive fire paranoia if it catastrophically fails.
The kit has the relay enclosed in a 3d printed shell without using the heatsink, so I felt like this was fine. Good thought though, might build a metal thing for it later
@@EvanMonsma Its' probably just paranoia
You should never solder wires and them crimp them. The crimp is designed to clamp down on loose strands, displacing and crushing them into a form. It cannot do this with a solid solder-covered wire. Additionally, the points where the solder peter out and it becomes strand again is a very weak point and is likely to break. Either way, you may suffer poor electrical conductivity though this which could cause arcing and/or fire.
Buy yourself a proper set of ratchet crimpers. Those multi-tool crimpers are beyond useless.
Thanks for the pointers! I trimmed out that one clip so I'm not putting out any bad info. It felt stronger to me but good to know that isn't actually better over time. And yes, the dumb crimpers suck lol, that was probably part of my problem in feeling the crimps weren't good before
Very refreshing in this world of yelling and promoting everything. Just a guy casually doing and experimenting stuff while hurting no one and being himself. Something that everyone should look into in life... but most of the people need money and money needs the people and therefore everything becomes fake and shit around it.
first. Love the videos man
Thank you 🙏
Love the video straight to the topic no wasting of time. love from India
Thank you sir 🙏
And another one.
🤍
this is rad, great video dude
