3D Printed Launch Roller Coaster
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- This 1:35 scale original model took over 6 months to design, print, and build and is the world's first functional 3D printed launch roller coaster. The launch, brakes, and station are all controlled via an Arduino with 5 micro servo motors and 1 DC motor.
"Launch" is the first working model I've made after printing roller coaster related projects for just over two years now. This proof of concept taught me invaluable lessons in design feasibility, problem solving, and most importantly perseverance. This project was not easy, but it's impossible to say how much fun I had with it!
I've already begun working on the next one where I hope to increase the realism, ride length, difficulty, and of course the inversion count.

"Lsm launch coaster 1 looks too intense for me"
LOL!! Your screen name!!
@@theendofanerror4173 I
that launch system looks more like a hydraulic launch but yeah lol
Is this a Planet Coaster reference lol

Wow, this is amazing. Beautiful design work on the layout, supports and station as well!
Oh wow this is recent
Thank you so much! That really means a lot coming from you. You have no idea how many of your PC vids I binged while working on this and other projects so thanks for helping pass the time with some awesome content :)
I agree
Would be cool to see this filmed in high speed (about 1050 fps?) then played back at 30 so that gravity appears to be acting realistically at full scale.
i watched on 0.5 speed, not perfect, but it looks more real!
Yes, need to make the trains way heavier then record in 120+ fps and it will be perfect
@@SarahOgVictor I slowed it down to 0.25× the speed and it actually was even more realistic...
I’ll have a better phone by the time the next one is done so hopefully can get some more realistic shots!
@@RobertoMezquiaJr thanks for the tip. It really made a difference.
This is incredible. I am so proud of you and have loved watching the journey to the completion of this project. Great Job !!!
Thanks for sticking around through the long process! It really means a lot 🙌
This is possibly the most wholesome comment on RUclips.
I am completely BLOWN AWAY by the quality of this. This is INCREDIBLE.
Props to you, this was insane. Cant wait to see more
This is amazing!! Bonus points because you added an inversion to avoid the stats requirements, nice!
I really hope you keep creating amazing things like this.
The second one’s already well under way!
my god the Gs and airtime on that thing looks insane
your eyes would pop out lol
The final result is amazing! This video really puts into perspective how much time and effort goes into projects like this and I must say the hard work payed off. I'm looking forward to your next project, its going to have to be really good to top this! I would love to see a model like this with functional blocks and multiple trains, maybe that's and idea for the future...
Thanks a ton man! I got some ideas that should be able to top it, but it's gonna take a lot more time 😅 functional blocks, multiple trains, and a working transfer track are all on the list! Lot easier said than done though lol
@3d_coasters I will design this in my Planet Coaster simulator game.
This is blowminding... the airtime on the first element after the launch would be amazing in a real scale !
the fact it has a working tension launch and rectratable brakes just blows my mind!!! Well Done!!!
This is one of the best things I have seen in youtube. Amazing!!
Good first video can't wait to see more
This is easily the beat 3d coaster model
Ive seen
I still got nothin on Matt from print_my_ride lol but I'm super glad you like it!
Beautiful, impressive, such commitment.
Also, the impression of being "too fast" is a great lesson in physics: You need enough kinetic energy (speed) to overcome the potential energy (altitude) of the highest point on the track. But potential energy scales linear in altitude while kinetic energy scales with the square of velocity. So, a rollercoaster with a fourth of the maximum altitude would still require half the speed.
(Probably easier to follow the other way round: If you build the rollercoaster four times as large, you only need twice the speed on a track that is four times as long.)
Incredible to see this from beginning to finished product! Amazing!
Thanks man! Appreciate you being there from the start 💪
Where can we see the rest of the journey?

I have spend years watching videos of model roller coasters and this is by far the most detailed and realistic one.
Should belong in a scale model museum!
Awesome work!! You should do slo-mo Videos of the Ride..
As a guided transport engineer, this is honestly impressive. Congrats !
Subbed! This is incredible! I spent years inside of nolimits as a kid and seeing what you were able to do with it is amazing. Looks like my CR-10 is gonna have some new work to do!
Motivation. I havent printed in over two months. Now the ideas are racing in
And videos like these are why I am fascinated with engineering of roller coasters
sammeeeee
amazing !!!! Im working with a person who dose 3d printing and design atm, hes adjusting the sizes of the original 3d printed knex roller coaster car esseberlys to fit larger bearings, they worked well on the prototype and the larger bearing gained a good amount of speed the goal is 15mm bearings and also to have 3d printed custom trains that look like real coaster trains.
This is a major accomplishment! In every way you look at it! Design + printing + accuracy of print + quality of print + complexity + the shear beauty of it all.. and on top of that.. it works!!! Beautiful job! One of the very best I have ever seen!
The invisible riders were a nice touch. Thanks for the videos!!! 🎢🎢🎢
Idea: make more of these! This is awesome!!
I gotta go on that ROLLERCOASTER 😂👍
WoW!!!! Thank you for your work. It's so incredible!!!
This is sooo awesome, the launch system reminds me of the Blue Fire in the Europapark Rust, subbed right now, happy to be your 1000 subscriber
Fantastic! great attention to detail. Love it
Finally, the other half of full throttle
Such epicness
Yes please and thank you. I look forward to more! Ever thought about releasing a modular track pack and support system?
That’d be awesome but coasterdynamix already has that! Printing it for sale would take way too long anyway unfortunately
@@3d_coasters oh I mean to release the STL or OBJ files for a small price, on Etsy or elsewhere? Or free. Free would be cool too, but I want to support this!
this has got to be the most amazing thing ever printed.
This deserves millions of views.
How
It’s short simple and to fast to even understand why it’s even going through the layout and it even is a copy of another coasters layout so it’s sucks balls
@@matthewclark4510 where’s your 900 hour physical functioning scale roller coaster model
Insane model! Respect!
Such an achievement, it looks amazingly sexy.
It must be such an amazing feeling to see it physically all come together and the train completing its first laps in like 2 days after all those months of hard work! You earned that feeling ;).
I used to spend hours trying to bend and warp the Lego train tracks into Lego rollercoasters. It's crazy to see something like this manifested to perfectly.
Congrats on this. Amazing, and very envious of your patience and dedication. This is something to be extremely proud of!
It's incredible how solid this thing is man doesn't look cheaply made but made from the same material as the companies who make rollercoaster models out of plastic but there's look cheap and and shakes too much
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Spectacular work - fun to watch - amazing job.
Switch Speed on 0,25 and it looks like a real Coaster .... Beautiful ;)
Reminds me of the K*Nex rollercoaster I had when I was a kid…but you know, WAY BETTER
this is easily the best homemade coaster model and probably one of the cooler prints I've seen. big up mandem
Lots of very tiny people throwing up and getting whiplash there :D
this has to be one of the coolest things ive seen
Amazing work! All the details are phenomenal!
The effort 🤯. Instantly got an idea about putting a cam on the cart and making VR rides. I already have some examples of how it could work.
I can't even imagine how much effort and time was put into this. Seriously awesome work you guys!
What?! Beyond amazing!!
Very well done, I've never seen such craftmanship with a 3d printer. Really amazing stuff, thanks for sharing!
just getting into 3d printing and its frustrating at times, seeing how much work went into this has given me confidence to keep going!
Super cool now I want a 3D printer
Impressive, a beautiful result. It appeared that you designed and machined a base with sockets to index the posts, which seemed to be interesting in and of itself and a nice final touch to bring it all together. Loved to see Fusion at work as always. Great job.
Best thing I have seen on the RUclipss all week! Awesome!
This makes me so happy.
Got the track shape of a B&M, the launch system acting like an S&S Thrust Air, a very Intamin looking layout and block setup, and the trains that are a mix between a Gerstlauer infinity, Zamperla thunderbolt, and a B&M Hypercoaster
I love this !!!!!! Nice job man, keep making more
Pleeeeaaaasssseeeeeee do more!!!! Looks absolutely fantastic!
👏👏👏👏👏 This is Amazing.
The potential gforces of this make me very happy
Wow, that's one interesting project!
This is the coolest 3D printed thing I've ever seen, awesome work!
Stuart Little would love this
Absolutely love
Just plain awesome.
Fun Fact: Set the playback speed to 0.25 and it will be somewhat similar to the speed of an actual coaster!
Record at 240 fps & play back / upload at 30fps or 60fps :D
Helllllssyeaaa you got on the tube finally 🤣🙌🏾. You about to make big waves man! Congrats again on the build!
Took me long enough huh 😂 still planning on sticking to Insta for most updates, but figured bigger stuff can go here. Thanks a ton though dude, really appreciate it! 👏
Totally awesome man, I hope to see more of your coasters in the future!
3D Printed Launch Roller Coaster 1 looks too intense for me...
This park is really clean!
Talk about dedication
Congratulations you found the other half of full throttle!
now im ready to go back to an amusement park again haha
Ah this is great! it's something I've wanted to do forever but never pursued enough. I always thought a model rollercoaster set would be so damn cool! to be able to buy all the modular parts like a hornby set or something.
Very cool!! You should make videos of your development and construction process along the way as you conceive and bring forth the next one!
Ok yep, that's absolutely incredible. I really hope you can find someone to pitch this to, so it can be made a buyable set. You have no idea how much I would pay to build this.
Is everything being controlled automatically, or are you manually running everything? The only tiny gripe I have is that the trains are three-across seating, I think two or four-across seating would be more appealing. But that really is a tiny gripe, you've done an amazing job!
@@3DPrinterAcademy Very true, gotta love a perfect heartline! Maybe they should also make each seat adjustable in height due to the variation in the height of the riders, lol.
I mean I guess it's not like there aren't any 3-across coasters in operation... Zamperla...
Thank you!! I'd love to get this buyable somehow, but the logistics just aren't there unfortunately with how much time and manual labor there is to get it all together. Everything is run manually right now too, but I'd like to get it automatic for the next one - my coding just isn't quite good enough right now lol
I get what you're saying with the 3 across too, but like 3D Printer Academy said, the heartening that middle seat would be pretty cool! Plus I think it would be sick to have an actual 3 across train, rather than Zamperla's eurofighterish thunderbolt models
Fantastic job! Would love to hear about the types of problems that occurred during the troubleshooting phase.
Thanks! Where do I even start… there was quite a bit lol thankfully a derailment was never something I had to deal with 😅
Seeing stuff like this is so inspiring. This is amazing and I hope you just continue to move forward with it!!
Thanks so much! Already 2 months into the next one ☺️
Nice job 😍
"Okayy lets gooo"
it is amazing, i cant event imagine how hard it was
Love how this guy got 2k subs from this video. it is amazing.
This is amazing! I can't wait to see more of your work! Subscribed.
Amazing job, this looks insane!
This is missing just one thing… a GoPro shot from inside the cart !
Yes we want to see what is it like
Magnificent work! Please make one three times bigger, modular, and sell them to us!
amazing, love this!
TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
that's freaking awesome
Dude! This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I shall live vicariously through you, haha. I made a lot of knex coasters and was trying to make a 12 ft tall roller coaster using conduit for rails, would have cost like 10k lol, glad I didn’t get farther than sculpting the car chassis and paneling out of bondo and foam core to be cast in fiber glass, lol. If I had a 3D printer when I was a kid I know I would have done the same thing.
This is fucking amazing. I love this and back as a kid if I had NL2 and a 3D printer and the ability to convert over my room would have been filled with these. Nice!
Amazing work here! Would love to see some POV video riding the coaster.
please make more of these. subscribed!
Absolutely brilliant work. Great job.
It's so incredible!!! Great job!
Impressive build! Sharing on The Awesomer.
Bravo👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now you have to put a FPV camera on it ! Awesome work ! :)
STL?
LOL just joking! But I'm surprised to not see this in the comments.
INCREDIBLE job on the design and build!
Just incredible what you can do with a 3d printer!!!
