Russ, that is incredible. SHows some of the potential of 3D printing. I saw an ivory ball something like this in the National Papace museum in Taipei. That one took a skilled artist/carver hundreds of hours and plenty of grief to get right I am sure, with many failed attempts. Now regular people can make these wonderful objects.
I am thinking it would make a great wind turbine in a much larger model. Having 4-5 rotating platforms would mean you could capture 4-5 the amount of wind and have the points connect to a metallic rod to a magnet or something similar. And you have a nice wind turbine.
OK, now if you ONLY used each piece for a winding form and wound a dual-helix configuration based on the 'sacred number' pi/7. Then if you ONLY carried to the equator, you'd GENERATE so much pyramid POWER you'd get transported to the earth's parallel world planet half way across the universe. It might be SO AWESOME!!!
Can you make a larger version of this cube with the centre core being a sphere and totally closed, bar a single entry point that could be used to fill the core...?
Wait, does he mean the Ekocycle? That's a $1,300 printer, not $3k. Nevertheless, have mine all hacked and loaded custom filament carts already. No way I'm going to pay $50 for 250g of filament.
Didn't Johannes Kepler spend, like DECADES trying to build one of these? If only he'd been around today... He'd still be wrong, but at least he'd have the model.
Hi Russ, I see you are using a razor to remove the glue from your print bed. Have you experienced scratching? I'm interested in finding different methods of removing glue that are quick and don't involve acetone or other repulsive smelling liquids. Got any suggestions? Thanks!
+Leo Mckee-Reid well i use glass. so yeah a razor blade dose the trick for me... but using a dull flexible knife seems to work well for other surfaces... the trick is to separate the parts with the most smallest thing possible ~Russ
***** Yeah, I'm working on glass, too. I'm just slightly scared to use very sharp objects, as it might scratch and create defects, but you've been doing it for a while and never experienced that? Thanks a lot for your speedy reply
+Leo Mckee-Reid yes i have scratched the glass but only when using a blade that has defects in it. use only a really sharp blade and you should be fine. if anything there scratches so small they make no difference. like hardly able to see scratches . also give the channel a sub if you haven't. currently building a new delta step by step. lots of fun stuff :) ~Russ
hi, no support on this one. or this one: ruclips.net/video/ST_DWJeUGmI/видео.html its like lego blocks if you can support the edge you can make it work... :) thanks! ~Russ
Patrik Berglund acetone and abs. The acetone will dissolve the ABS. I found if you put it in a wash bottle you can squeeze it out nicely but you'll need to make a cap for the wash bottle or it will get clogged. ~Russ
I have a 3D printer at my school and I made a regular sized Lego and that took 10 min that printer looked more expensive so it prob between 2-5 hours would be my guess. It's hard to say.
Hypercube. It's a movie, you should watch it, and understand how awesome this just got.
Now imagine each inner cube in a different color!
Sounds gay
@@jcjcjunk1881 perfect
I mean you could with a ultimaker s5….

Dude, the reaction shot of you, holding it up, got me. My exact reaction, LOL. NOICE!!!!!!!! Just noticed, eight years later! HA! THANKS RUclips!
Joseph Newman would be very proud. Nice demo of something only a 3-D printer could make - no seams!

cant imagine, how it can make sense regarding the aerodynamics
COOL! Looks like some space/time bending warp drive for an interstellar craft.
Enjoyed this video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
Russ, I watched your table and did not know you built the printer from scratch. Nice job. Nerd.LOL
Cool! Even the video is super sharp. Nice work.
Increadible work. Nice bro.
what is it that you had sprayed or painted down on the mirror bed for adhesion?
loved your work dude
20% machine 80% brain and idea
Cool ! For what do you need it ? Will you put coils around them ? Or just for fun ?
that sounds like so much fun!
And nice workshop u got there
Cool print! Shows the power of 3D printing. :) Did you fix your coke bottle?
I have absolutely no idea what good that thing is, but damn if that ain't cool !!!
Maaaan! that's crazy cool!
OK, now if you ONLY used each piece for a winding form and wound a dual-helix configuration based on the 'sacred number' pi/7. Then if you ONLY carried to the equator, you'd GENERATE so much pyramid POWER you'd get transported to the earth's parallel world planet half way across the universe. It might be SO AWESOME!!!
Amazing!
Sweet man that is way cool!
i wants it 0-0 we needs it my precioussss
I'd find a way to print each one a different color - then when they spun around - it would look mesmerizing.
What model did you use? :)
As always awesome work.
THAT IS AWESOME!
that is pretty incredible. If you slammed it on the ground would it break?
Yes, it's plastic. If you want to make these durable you make a bigger one with thicker walls and higher grade plastic.
Dude that's awesome. Keep the fedora.
this is so freaking cool
Hello, what is the material that you have grounded? very good adhesion. Good luck.
Gorgeous!
imagine a world where when you order a plastic cup online, you are printed one. in just a few short hours, straight into you home
That is too cool!!!
Well at least I know someone capable of printing me that fancy plastic gun I've been wanting lol
hey Russ nice job.
if you make a gross of them you can sell them to market
You need to use an air compressor on that thing, get them all spinning random directions!
This is so awesome!
nice gyro cube sphere I like to have one with a magnet inside so I can see the magnet field any where I go
just having to much fun with your new toy, what going on with your stanly myers injector?
That's an awesome print. How long did it take and what layer height did you use?
VERY clever!
What about the layer height and the printing time and speed
I'm kinda interrested on how long stuff like this takes to print!
Este chico es un genio..
It's awesome
Looks like I need to buy myself a 3D printer.
how does it make bridgey parts without them collapsing or falling?
the plastic hardens quick enough.
Can you make a larger version of this cube with the centre core being a sphere and totally closed, bar a single entry point that could be used to fill the core...?
I think the point of 3D printers is that you can print whatever you like.
my robotics team just won a $3k 3D printer
What is it called? (the team your on) I'm in an FRC team and FTC just ended
Braden T FTC Ended? Super Regional is still ahead! Gahh so much prep work, so many prints, and soo soo much filament.
I didn't know that until a little later because I missed the finals.
Wait, does he mean the Ekocycle? That's a $1,300 printer, not $3k.
Nevertheless, have mine all hacked and loaded custom filament carts already. No way I'm going to pay $50 for 250g of filament.
Braden T What team are you affiliated with?
That's so cool
what are you using as the control board my arduino got fried and I'm having trouble flashing the firmware to a new arduino for my delta style printer.
This is cool. You said its slippy. How fragile are these printed items? I just wondered how robust and solid things are that's all.
Please share your secrets what kind of glass substrate is that and what temperature is it at.
Awesome!!! GJ!
How do you treat the surface to be so flat ?
Gyroscopical Sperical thingamabobber... Cool, Im working on a Rostock delta 3d printer mabobber, almost at the point of assembling it :)
wow, super cool
Hello. My kids liked that turning thing. Can you make one for us with your logo on it? I can pay some money for it.
Hello there, I am having trouble printing this object. Which slicer software did you use? Pleas, let me know the settings.
Best,
Elias.
Cool, but i think it would be even cooler if it was in stainless steel👍🏻🛠
This is cool
So fking cool. Speechless...
How long did this print took??
It is abs or PLA?? And what layer height used??
.25 layer .5 mm nozzle, ABS.
Will it spin with compressed air directed at it?
What?! How can they do that?
Which printer do you have?
Now if You make each alternate spear with aposing field magnets and take it for a spin.
what kind of post work did you do on it to make the finish so nice?
Can you please post a link the the download of this 3d model?
Spin it! Like gyroscope!
hey nice print, and model. is there any chance that you send me the model file to try and print it my self ?
nice work
mind blowing cool !
Curious what printer and settings did you use the spheres always come out all messed up on me.
was it not possible to give clearance with the help filler material.
where do you get the plans for that one ?
Nice.
how long did the process take?
What is that foil you use on your glass bed? I can't get my filaments to stick.
use hairspray
Didn't Johannes Kepler spend, like DECADES trying to build one of these? If only he'd been around today... He'd still be wrong, but at least he'd have the model.

+rwg42985 Okay, good to know. I guess the glue fills in those tiny scratches. Good luck on the build!
+Leo Mckee-Reid use cold air
Can u give me the specs of the filament you require?
It's shape reminds me of 343 guilty spark from the halo series
So much yes!
Reminds me of that and the machine from contact
Do you have a link to the stl or scad file?
where did you get the picture to print it?!
Can I ask something.. Did you print it with support? or how?
hi, no support on this one. or this one: ruclips.net/video/ST_DWJeUGmI/видео.html
its like lego blocks if you can support the edge you can make it work... :) thanks! ~Russ
***** What do you prep your plate with?
Patrik Berglund acetone and abs. The acetone will dissolve the ABS. I found if you put it in a wash bottle you can squeeze it out nicely but you'll need to make a cap for the wash bottle or it will get clogged. ~Russ
So...what printer did you use?
Wau Amazing and if you can add magnets inside each ..hmm
Reminded me of a Wheatley from Portal.
Relay nice ! :)
Can you reply with the file link? Really amazing print. Thnx.
what printer?
how long did it take?
Nearly 8 hours if you watch the clock in the background.
I Want One!
Just got your email! ;) will respond there! ~Russ
How long does this take to print no time lapse
I have a 3D printer at my school and I made a regular sized Lego and that took 10 min that printer looked more expensive so it prob between 2-5 hours would be my guess. It's hard to say.
There is a clock in the background and it looks like it took 8 hours
resistance ... please link us with some info on that
fascinating! I am a bead artist. I want to make one of these out of tiny beads. Can you send me the dimensions of each ball?
