I am again utterly impressed. What impresses me the most is your absolutely insane pace with these projects - normally I would expect each of your projects to take at least 6 months, with 3 people and at least 10 update videos. Instead you release a completed project every month (okay, this time two months, but including a complete moving!!!) How do you manage to be so fast and efficient at it? Are you actually doing everything yourself or are you getting some help with stuff? In any case, its mindblowing.
I wonder how his wife don't get mad on him spending most of his day in his lab doing these stuff😂😂 he at least should be spending 7 - 10 hours in a normal work day to finish in this fast.

Ahh, variable dot size technology. In my years in commercial huge format printing that was the buzzword. The ability to get smaller and smaller dot sizes for sharper, clearer images. Plus we went from CMYK to CMYK plus light CMYK, to CMYK plus light CMYK plus white so we could on the fly adjust for the colour of the substrate to maintain brightness. So we had 9 coloured inks and variable dot size.
"If at first you don't succeed, lower your expectations" is actually good advice. People tend to set the bar too high. Then they quit, thinking they aren't good enough. You have to learn to walk before you can run.

Not capable of it. Not today, anyway. Maybe one day. He works with modern technology. Everything I can do could've been done in the 1970s/1980s with the technology from back then... makes me feel kinda old and obsolete TBH. I have a lot of respect for that. Definitely among the best channels on RUclips, if not THE best channel. The sheer skill is incredible.
I have a close friend with very similar skills. Sadly for him, he suffers from life-long anxiety and hyper-activity. This makes it hard for him to focus for very long, although fortunately for him he has a job these days where he gets to make projects not too dissimilar to this, just on a smaller scale. He does it all; designs, fabricates, programs, etc. And most interestingly of all, he only ever studied art and cannot do complex maths.

The "K" in the CMYK process represents the "Key" color for detail representation. The key color is most normally Black, however, it doesn't have to be black all the time.
In my teen years I wanted to do something like this for a not so valuable project. Then, realizing the great pain that it required, I abandoned the idea. You are my hero for enduring it all and doing it. Congratulations.
Wow! The result is fantastic, but I think the process is some of the most _amazing_ art. The double gantry, the counterweight... so much awesome engineering. Keep going dude 🤯
@@fogpivvl8341 They only build walls, which is about 15-20% of construction... They don't do doors, windows, roofs, ceilings, floors, plumbing, electricity, finished interior walls, etc...
@@Tasarran well yeah I'm aware. There's a lot more to building what most people would consider a house. But in third world countries, which is where they're currently being designed for, the walls and ceiling are essentially what makes up a house. Electricity and plumbing are incorporated into some but that's why I said they're very basic houses. But they are still houses.
@@fogpivvl8341 Oh, yes, underdeveloped third-world countries, where they have full access to the techs required to set up these machines, trucks to haul it all, a massive amount of electricity to run them, and the supply of concrete they need to run, which cannot be interrupted. Come on, man, if they had all that stuff there, they could just build regular houses.
The K in CMYK actually stands for Key, or traditionally a Key plate. You layer proportions of ink to get the colors you want like in the video but you need a “Key” ,a dark color which is almost always black, as a base for the details such as contrast.
I have to admit that is true,. I always thought it was because Blue took the B! But 'key' is the actual Historical source. It sounds a bit like when you use black charcoal pencil, to skecth out the 'Key elements' on a canvas or pad, before adding colored pencil... or paint...
The whole theme with his wife cracks me up. They’re a great duo. Also, I love how he always has something random pulled up on his computer when talking to the camera lol.
I love how in almost every problem he encounters, Shane finds some sort of cheap(er) or less precise alternative to solving the problem. It's crazy how many little tricks he has up his sleeve and it speaks volumes of his engineering experience and mindfulness.
With all respect to his knowledge, I'd say he researches most of it on-line. No need to carry it all in your head, nothing wrong with that. His engineering experience is to convert the research to his projects.
@@mikiqex Yes but go read a wikipédia page about any mathematical concept, and you'll struggle if you don't have knowledge about it. He has a high iq, and engineering degree (if not phd to be honest), so his knowledge and understanding things faster helps him a lot. Normal iq could do it but with much more time.
Probably the most intuitive explanation of half toning with CMYK that I've ever seen. All without using any of the standard printing industry jargon! Amazing! Well done!
I thought it would be more like a Maslow wall mounted cnc only with a spray gun. What you made to produce the art is very cool! I wish it had more dots per inch, but still very awesome and inspiring. Keep up the good work! Love the videos!
I'm an EE engineer and from what I see this channel really is one of the best and fastest engineering channels in the entire RUclips community. Like I'm constantly amazed by each video because almost all of his projects requires knowledge in mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. AND he does all of this increadibly quickly. It feels like he has a dedicated team at this point lmao.
2:14 - The explanation for every checkmark RUclipsr who doesn't actually watch the video which results in some generic comment with the intent to reap free exposure.
The "K" in CMYK stands for "Keycolor". As you mentioned, the mix out of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow won't be black. Therefore is the keycolor, in your case black. While printing you also could swap out the black keycolor for an other special color, a metallic gold for example. You still print CMYK. :)
As you were talking about color theory and light, I was like …no way he’s going RGB. He’s gonna do CMYK for sure. And then you adjusted and I actually felt super smart. Cuz like this is genius level stuff and I can’t even compare.
The “K” stands for “key” or the color that all other colors key to, black. Black is usually the color of text and image borders so by printing them first it makes it easier to line up or “key” the other colors in the print job.
@@germansnowman Yeah, I made another post with B standing for "Blue" and no other color really uses K so it makes sense to use it with the hard k sound and last letter in "Black". I also work at a printing press so I can ask around if the other operators know about it.
I worked in a robotics company and just by looking at this, I estimate making a robot like that could easily take half a year, for a team of 3 engineers. Amazing
Funny. I actually know a guy who use to work at the same 3D printer company as him and said that he was by far the smartest guy he had ever known. He is completing PhD level projects that takes a team by himself.
The part where you wore a helmet while at height made me smile, it's not often you see people that casually wear PPE and make the effort to mitigate risk
The reason smart people wear helmets isn't just because it's a smart idea, it's because they realize that it's worth protecting what's up there. (No, I'm not saying it's not worth protecting the heads of less smart people. Just saying the people that are smart realize it's worth protecting)
I was terrified the whole time. Also for the work with tools I was wearing a harness anchored to the ceiling girders. A 20 foot tall would be painful but I also have a lot of things on the ground to impale myself on. ouchie.
This guy is a true polymath. He excels in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, robotics, materials science, mathematics, computer science... Anything else?
I'm a graphic designer. I work every day with colors and dots and the science of making art. But this was still really enlightening and fascinating for me, maybe even more for me, to have stuff I kind of already know re-explained to me in a new ways.
dude already made a effing rocket bat, this is basically the start of the i robot movie where the robot learns to draw, this guy is crazy he could do anything maan!
"If at first you dont succeed, then reduce your expectations to the point that you do succeed." - Wise Engineer. Love the helmet you're using to save your life from the 20ft fall. 😂👌
@@Yora21 While also lowering his expectations considerably as the project goes on. Now, when you think about what he ends up making, and the fact that he's lowered his expectations to get there... Goodness this man shoots for the mooon
@@adilmaghribi7024 Hah, well, English is pretty new, and we get a lot of stuff like that from the languages we borrow from. It'd be weird it it were all named after recent words.
I love how you’re essentially questioning what art is the entire video, yet you beautifully provided a work of conceptual abstraction with your “evolution of the machine” idea. Great job.
Fantastic video! Your relationship with your wife is how everyone's marriage should be. You 3, soon to be 4, are great! Thank you for the calm and funny atmosphere you create. 😊😊
Now that I’m a full-time engineer, I’m baffled by how you’re able to accomplish these difficult projects on your own in a relatively short amount of time. If I want to move a shelf from one side of the plant to the other it’ll take 3 meetings of discussing with my stakeholders how the project isn’t possible and a month of getting it done just for upper management to realize it functioned better where it was originally 😂
Who uses the word stakeholders outside of work? If I had a friend and they used the word stakeholders instead of colleagues, they will 100% be getting a cock slap even if they don't have a cock. Even a 30 year old me wouldn't hold back 😂
The fact that you can complete so various and complicated projects in such short time is just blowing my mind. Also the video edit is masterclass! Great job, looking forward to the next project!
I'm actually impressed that instead of building the long vertical rails to make the robot precise in horizontal axis, you were like "Well I can just use position detecting cameras and do it in the code" That's some top level ingenuity.
@@ethandeister6567 I meant it in the context of the painting machine, which is the man. You could supply the man the fish directly (a program that tells it exactly where to spray paint the dots, how big, etc...), or you could teach it (automate the creation of such "fish" programs) how to fish. Same thing you said.
On Discord, Shane said the big issue was the gantry physically hitting the alarm. That was the real issue, not so much just painting it. I asked why he couldn't just inhibit the sprayer if it was in that spot, since he knew exactly where it was with the Optitrack cameras.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 As an electrician, I can tell you that that fire alarm is very easy to remove for painting. I found this hangup pretty funny after all the incredible solutions this guy thinks of, he didn't think to hire an electrician to temporarily remove it.
@@Jake.The.Snake. It's not his building and he wasn't allowed to remove or move it. In fact, funny enough coincidentally the fire Marshall came by to do an inspection while he was working on the project, so it's fortunate he didn't mess with it.
Shane I dont know exactly how to tell you this. But your a freaking Legend. Your mind just works in a way all of us normal people will never understand, but wish like hell we could. Thanks for all these projects you come up with and all your hard work to complete them no matter how many plan b's or little tweaks here and there it takes.
Your ability to problem solve, and break projects down into smaller “manageable” pieces is honestly inspiring. Your videos are instant watch material every time they are released
@@BEdmonson85 wouldn’t work, the problem is that the nozzle gets closer to the wall whenever it sprays paint and without knowing where the alarm is, it would bump into it and probably break something
Watched his first video the day it came out. Saw it in my recommendations, now this is by far my favorite channel. He explains everything and I’m convinced he’s by far the smartest guy on this platform. Insane stuff. Nothing like it on RUclips. STUFF MADE HERE IS THE GOAT
"If at first you don't succeed, reduce your expectations till you get to the point that you're a success." I have been living through life with this exact motto lmfao.
Shane, you're an absolute mastermind. The solutions and engineering you come up with just blows my mind sometimes (stuff like the rail adjustment brackets and the gantry counterweight)
I used to work in the print industry and it was funny watching someone learn and explain CMYK halftone printing. You should try printing using stochastic screen, then you don’t need to worry about the screen angles for each of the four colours. Look it up I think it would make your project less complicated.
Interesting. It also has a fixed dot size. While as a machine builder that's attractive, it would definitely reduce the interesting variations (overspray, splodges, and difference in dot sizes) when you are close to the wall, and to me that's actually the most compelling feature that turns the mechanistic output into something more closely approximating art.
Brother, you are an utter genius. You are so talented, I can't even believe it. And that you so carefully and cleanly and so professionally document the project is just over the top. I feel honored to have watched your video. Thank you, and I hope you make millions!
This is awesome. Working at an industrial in-line printing company, a project like this is so close and near and dear to my heart. We will watch this video at work and laugh and enjoy this so much. Thank you for sharing this! You've got a great thing going here. Keep inspiring and keep getting those glares. :)
"For some reason I just LOVE this trick..." Uh- maybe because it's freakin' brilliant! The scale of the projects you take on as one man is really spectacular!
Your channel is so very inspiring and encouraging! I’ve been teaching middle school students music and theatre for over 20 years and so much of what you have to share is exactly what young minds need to hear. Keep it up!!!
17:26 Watching the signature, it looks like you could get much higher-resolution-looking output with the same hardware by drawing lines, or converting something to more of a vector art style! There's probably even a library for drawing arbitrary pictures with pen plotters somewhere that wouldn't be too impossible to adapt
Her reaction is so genuine and that's what makes it so great. No feigned surprise or excitement. She's a woman who will never have to worry about her mascara running. She tells it as it is and I do believe this is the most she's ever smiled. 👍 I wonder if his next project will be a baby delivery robot? And her reaction?
Don't want to speak for her, but Shane's wife and Shane himself are becoming alot more comfortable on camera, I think thats a big part. Their confidence is growing and they feel more natural being recorded, as opposed to his first few videos where he was getting used to a lens on him alot.
Imagine going through the struggle of moving with a truckload of heavy machinery and still managing to make a full-scale project that would take lots of MONTHS to dev and bulid. Massive respect for the work ethic and content.
Key or key plate is an old-school printing term that refers to the printing plate with the most detail. That plate was commonly used for the color black. The plate was used to line up the color registration of the printing plates for the other colors; therefore, it was called the key plate.
This took me back to my days at art college learning about CMYK printing and camera ready artwork..You did well to learn the trade and apply it in such a short space of time. Your wife is a great sport, very forgiving. You can tell you guys are a great couple. Congratulations for baby number two, and for surviving the big move. Love the video. Keep up the great work!
I did a similar thing adding an airbrush to my cnc router to paint/decorate a cake for my daughters birthday cake. I thought I was nuts. you have taken it to a whole different level of crazy! as a father of a 22 year old, I guarantee you, soon, your project will be all about your baby. fantastic job!

The "K" in the CMYK process represents the "Key" color for detail representation. The key color is most normally Black, however, it doesn't have to be black all the time.

The K in CMYK actually stands for Key, or traditionally a Key plate. You layer proportions of ink to get the colors you want like in the video but you need a “Key” ,a dark color which is almost always black, as a base for the details such as contrast.
I have to admit that is true,. I always thought it was because Blue took the B! But 'key' is the actual Historical source. It sounds a bit like when you use black charcoal pencil, to skecth out the 'Key elements' on a canvas or pad, before adding colored pencil... or paint...
And the K for Potasium actualy stands for Kalium
40 years as a Commercial Sculptor and I finally know why K. TY!
‘K’ in an engineering colour table (eg wiring insulation colour code) means black. May be coincidence.

With all respect to his knowledge, I'd say he researches most of it on-line. No need to carry it all in your head, nothing wrong with that. His engineering experience is to convert the research to his projects.

The "K" in CMYK stands for "Keycolor". As you mentioned, the mix out of Cyan, Magenta and Yellow won't be black. Therefore is the keycolor, in your case black. While printing you also could swap out the black keycolor for an other special color, a metallic gold for example. You still print CMYK. :)
Interesting! I thought K was just so that you don’t confuse B with Blue instead of Black
Technology is insane, and you are insane, well done sir

As you were talking about color theory and light, I was like …no way he’s going RGB. He’s gonna do CMYK for sure. And then you adjusted and I actually felt super smart. Cuz like this is genius level stuff and I can’t even compare.
The “K” stands for “key” or the color that all other colors key to, black. Black is usually the color of text and image borders so by printing them first it makes it easier to line up or “key” the other colors in the print job.
Carbon in German is Kohle. (coal) So it Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Karbon.
@@GordieGii Nobody says Kohle. We say Zyan, Magenta, Gelb, Schwarz.
Also, using B for black would create confusion with the B in RGB, though that was probably just a happy coincidence.
@@germansnowman Yeah, I made another post with B standing for "Blue" and no other color really uses K so it makes sense to use it with the hard k sound and last letter in "Black". I also work at a printing press so I can ask around if the other operators know about it.

Honestly, it's a really cool art style. It would be nice to have some public murals painted this way, but that would be difficult.
It is called Pointillism.
I have never seen a public mural that looked nice.
The part where you wore a helmet while at height made me smile, it's not often you see people that casually wear PPE and make the effort to mitigate risk
The reason smart people wear helmets isn't just because it's a smart idea, it's because they realize that it's worth protecting what's up there.
(No, I'm not saying it's not worth protecting the heads of less smart people. Just saying the people that are smart realize it's worth protecting)
Gotta protect that big ol brain of his!
That's is a rock climbing helmet so he also must be a rock climber
I was terrified the whole time. Also for the work with tools I was wearing a harness anchored to the ceiling girders. A 20 foot tall would be painful but I also have a lot of things on the ground to impale myself on. ouchie.
Thinking about it now working 20ft above tools I would wear my climbing helmet and harness

Now that I’m a full-time engineer, I’m baffled by how you’re able to accomplish these difficult projects on your own in a relatively short amount of time. If I want to move a shelf from one side of the plant to the other it’ll take 3 meetings of discussing with my stakeholders how the project isn’t possible and a month of getting it done just for upper management to realize it functioned better where it was originally 😂
I think we work for the same company.
@@Rustie_za 🤣every companies are same....
The classic 'too many cooks' problem!
Who uses the word stakeholders outside of work? If I had a friend and they used the word stakeholders instead of colleagues, they will 100% be getting a cock slap even if they don't have a cock. Even a 30 year old me wouldn't hold back 😂
Compound that with the fact his wife is the stakeholder (no), it's even more impressive.
The fact that you can complete so various and complicated projects in such short time is just blowing my mind.
Also the video edit is masterclass!
Great job, looking forward to the next project!
I'm actually impressed that instead of building the long vertical rails to make the robot precise in horizontal axis, you were like "Well I can just use position detecting cameras and do it in the code"
That's some top level ingenuity.
"Instead of spending a couple days doing [manual task], I'm going to spend a couple months automating it."
Spoken like a true engineer
It's the "give a man a fish, vs. teach a man to fish" mentality except it's applied to problem solving.
@@158-i6z give a man a fish vs teach a man to fish vs teach the fish to fish itself up each day
@@ethandeister6567 I meant it in the context of the painting machine, which is the man. You could supply the man the fish directly (a program that tells it exactly where to spray paint the dots, how big, etc...), or you could teach it (automate the creation of such "fish" programs) how to fish. Same thing you said.
The sign of a true engineer: instead of just taping off the fire alarm, spending hours in software making sure you don't paint over it 😂
...and then still taping over the edges because it kind of doesn't work all the time.
Very underrated comment
On Discord, Shane said the big issue was the gantry physically hitting the alarm. That was the real issue, not so much just painting it. I asked why he couldn't just inhibit the sprayer if it was in that spot, since he knew exactly where it was with the Optitrack cameras.
@@cuthbertallgood7781 As an electrician, I can tell you that that fire alarm is very easy to remove for painting. I found this hangup pretty funny after all the incredible solutions this guy thinks of, he didn't think to hire an electrician to temporarily remove it.
@@Jake.The.Snake. It's not his building and he wasn't allowed to remove or move it. In fact, funny enough coincidentally the fire Marshall came by to do an inspection while he was working on the project, so it's fortunate he didn't mess with it.
I love how he just casually presents an absolutely excellent explanation of the human color vision.
Shane I dont know exactly how to tell you this. But your a freaking Legend. Your mind just works in a way all of us normal people will never understand, but wish like hell we could. Thanks for all these projects you come up with and all your hard work to complete them no matter how many plan b's or little tweaks here and there it takes.

Your ability to problem solve, and break projects down into smaller “manageable” pieces is honestly inspiring. Your videos are instant watch material every time they are released
And yet, he couldn't just use some masking tape on the fire alarm? =P
@@BEdmonson85 wouldn’t work, the problem is that the nozzle gets closer to the wall whenever it sprays paint and without knowing where the alarm is, it would bump into it and probably break something

I used to work in the print industry and it was funny watching someone learn and explain CMYK halftone printing. You should try printing using stochastic screen, then you don’t need to worry about the screen angles for each of the four colours. Look it up I think it would make your project less complicated.
this
Interesting. It also has a fixed dot size. While as a machine builder that's attractive, it would definitely reduce the interesting variations (overspray, splodges, and difference in dot sizes) when you are close to the wall, and to me that's actually the most compelling feature that turns the mechanistic output into something more closely approximating art.
This show is too wholesome, so glad this platform is giving you a voice and sharing these works of art!! Congrats on baby #2!

I wonder if his next project will be a baby delivery robot? And her reaction?
Don't want to speak for her, but Shane's wife and Shane himself are becoming alot more comfortable on camera, I think thats a big part. Their confidence is growing and they feel more natural being recorded, as opposed to his first few videos where he was getting used to a lens on him alot.
Imagine going through the struggle of moving with a truckload of heavy machinery and still managing to make a full-scale project that would take lots of MONTHS to dev and bulid. Massive respect for the work ethic and content.
Key or key plate is an old-school printing term that refers to the printing plate with the most detail. That plate was commonly used for the color black. The plate was used to line up the color registration of the printing plates for the other colors; therefore, it was called the key plate.
This took me back to my days at art college learning about CMYK printing and camera ready artwork..You did well to learn the trade and apply it in such a short space of time. Your wife is a great sport, very forgiving. You can tell you guys are a great couple. Congratulations for baby number two, and for surviving the big move. Love the video. Keep up the great work!
This guy builds things in a tone that it is “super sketchy” then proceeds to surpass all of our expectations
It works well, people love sketchy genius. Like the astronauts who had to welfare up a CO2 scrubber with tape and a jacket.
I love how simple and detailed his explanations are .. he made a difficult subject looks simple enough for non experts to understand
I did a similar thing adding an airbrush to my cnc router to paint/decorate a cake for my daughters birthday cake. I thought I was nuts. you have taken it to a whole different level of crazy! as a father of a 22 year old, I guarantee you, soon, your project will be all about your baby.
