Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Fiber Optic Microscope Ring Light!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Adam recently received a set of screws that are so small he can't see them with the naked eye. So to examine them, he takes out his high-powered inspection microscope and spends the day disassembling and upgrading it with a fiber optic ring light!

That moment when Adam forgets to put back in the rubber ring. From that point on you are just looking at the rubber ring, waiting for him to notice, but he never does.
I knew when it fell out that he would never put that gasket back in, so frustrating to know the thing will fill with all kinds of dust and dirt now
I was just shouting rubbbbeeerrr
Im going to book a flight to the US, break into the shop and put that rubber back
I'm yelling "GASKET!" at the screen. "GAAAAASKEEET!"
So now we know how the space shuttle blew up. Someone got too excited to put it together and forgot the O-ring.
"Adam, no. Stop. The gasket. Adam... You forgot the... _No._ " -- Me, watching Adam reassemble the microscope.
He's so anxious, he forgot lol
I know what you mean! Practically every video of his I watch I do the same thing.
I think that's everyone watching this video.
But I wouldn't worry. It was there on his bench - when he cleaned up, he'd have seen it and installed it. It is, after all, only a matter of pulling 5 screws.
I was essentially chanting “Adam. Grab the gasket. No, the gasket. T H E G A S K S T”
i was like "THE RUBER THINGY " , sry not an ingeneer neither an english 1st lenguaje
That moment when the video ends and you're still waiting to see the tiny screws under the microscope...
that is for next show and tell video
YEAH,, didnt deliver !
He doesn’t have a camera adapter so it wouldn’t be possible to properly film. You can do it manually but that looks terrible.
@@XMysticHerox Next one day build is going to end up being a camera adapter :P
@@XMysticHerox the screws seemed to be the inspiration for adding the light so I expected him to show the screws the same way he showed his finger at least.
FINE DON'T SHOW THE SCREWS THAT STARTED THIS WHOLE THING THAT'S A-OK ADAM
the next one day build is gonna be a microscope camera adapter...
Beat me to this comment. ;)
I was thinking the same. At that point in the video I was actually thinking "Now he's going to make the adapter after commenting on how short the build was..."
They're only ~$25, but Adam will probably make it because we'll happily watch him making it.
Adam will probably make it so he can watch the thing through the microscope while filming at the same time :p
You can buy a camera specifically for use in one of these microscopes, I am trying to get my boss to order one for me. There is a bit of lag so its not ideal for viewing intricate work but for just capturing images its great. you can get them for under $100 easy on amazon.
"I have two of them, well, because....I was making TV money" 😂
If he spent only a fraction of his TV money on things like that, just imagine how much money he had left to put in the bank or spend on actual necessities! It must have been millions.
@@thomaslevy2119 I mean Myth buster was the show for Discovery channel
internet says he's an 8 million dollar man.
@@gernith I would say the stuff in his shop alone is worth over a million
Jesse Laurin One of my favourite things Adam has ever said! 😂
"that's a classic delrin move" lmao
Yeah, kinda funny, but just the truth. I machined a bunch of Delrin (or POM as we call it in Germany, which is just an acronym for the chemical name) for a vehicle build a few years ago. That's just what the stuff does.
Really enjoyed your in depth and close ups using the lathe Adam. Thank you for all of your videos and making it feel like we are there learning from you
Bruh 😂
Where exactly do you buy a cylinder of delrin? I gather they don't sell it at Harbor Fright or Woodcraft?
@@daemoncan2364 Sorry I'm 10 months late but look up plastic suppliers in your area. If you're on the US west coast there's a place called TAP Plastics that has it.
Next One Day Build: Making a rolling cart for the microscope that holds the fiber optic light source as well.
Next One Day Build after that: Making a gasket to replace the one misplaced during this One Day Build
Dont forget the wooden box to store it in
Everyone is freaking out about the gaskets and I'm feeling blue balled about the screws.
💀💀💀
EXACTLY!! Where's the small screws?
Yup. Built a light adapter for a microscope to look at screws and does not use it to look at screws.
Came here to say this. Thank you.
okay...made a separate comment about the screws when I could have look down the comment line and just jumped on the bandwagon...now I have to make a second comment regarding my first comment....inefficient as hell....but, yeh....the tiny screws, man.
"When I zoom in it changes the focus."
Always zoom in to focus. Then zoom out. When zoomed in, there is a smaller depth of focus, so it's more picky when zoomed in.
If the scope doesn't stay in focus when you zoom out, you should be able to adjust this with the eye pieces. Using one eye, adjust the eyepiece a bit, say a half a turn. Then re-focus. Then zoom out. If the focus is even worse when you zoom out, then turn the eyepiece in the other direction. After you get it "parfocal" then adjust the other eyepiece to match.
I'm pretty sure Adam doesn't read instructions. But maybe this will help someone else.
Oh, good. Someone else already typed it. Also, you can get eyepiece attachements so you don't have to take your eyeglasses off every time you use the scope.
More people should upthumb this comment. Most people don't know (or get taught) how to setup and use a microscope properly, and this is why they get eyestrain and sometimes headaches after using them for long periods.
One of the eyetubes is adjustable, the other needs to have a setscrew loosened to adjust it for parfocal. The B&L StereoZoom 4 is the gold standard of stereo microscopes even after 50+ years. Leica bought them out and continued to use the same form factor for years.
Note to Adam: Do not attempt to disassemble it farther than you did in the video, you'll knock it out of alignment. If you need to clean the internal lenses, either send it to a qualified repairman, or ask for proper instructions so you don't brick it. Oh, and put that damn gasket back in! Edit: Also if you decide to lube it make sure to use nonvolatile grease, fumes from the grease drying out will fog the lenses over time. The eyepieces you have with it are susceptible to having the doublet lens glue separate. They can be repaired but it's tricky getting it right without introducing contaminates that will be visible.
@@TanyaHakala The eyepieces are High Eye-Point so they can be used with glasses.
@@groadoswaggins In a forum, I came across a thread with one guy who taught a science class. He was talking up some high end microscope because it was parfocal, and none of the 20 microscopes for his class were parfocal. I explained how to adjust it, and he just disappeared from the thread. :)
I love how I learn stuf from Adam without him even explaining it. This time it was "storing the drill-head fastening key, in the drill-head itself". Thank you Adam👌🏻
Yeah I also noticed that and thought it was genius!
This totally solves the always hunting for my drill press chuck-key .... of course a lanyard would to lol.
When you're done place the chuck key in the chuck. When there was no key-less chucks you kept the chuck key handy. Now that most things are key-less and you need a key you don't have to spend your valuable time searching for that darn chuck key " where the hell did I put that".
I actually stopped the video, went to the garage, and put the chuck-keys into the chucks. Excellent tip.
Ikr, I never even thought of that.
"Wait a minute, there's zoom?? Holly cow!" 😂
@7:00 A bit of a tip - when you have a lot of screws of different length that you really don't want to loose, you can punch them through cardboard, or even better - *draw a shape of the object and punch the screws through cardboard in their corresponding place.* This way not only you'd know where each screw/bolt goes, but they're also reasonably well secured, and won't roll around.
That's genius. Especially the drawing the shape part.
This is actually a good tip.
You can also thread fasteners back where they came from too.
That's a really good tip. I am going to take that to heart.
I do this a lot, also dollar store mini muffin pans.
Just have to say: these quick n dirty quarantine One Day Builds that Adam does on his phone have been so, so phenomenal. So informative, so engaging. Thanks, Tested crew.
There's something about these that are, at once, both casual and intimate. Maybe the lack of noticeable production? Theyve been really enjoyable
@@ambersmith4078 and without the constant camera jiggly and zooming in and zooming out and always being out of focus.
The 3D Printer in the corner wants to know why it exists 😋
@@gl15col well it would have had a thread turning ending 🙄
That's what I wa thinking lol, but i don't know if Adam is as good with digital 3D design as he's with analog stuff
So easy as a 3d printed coupler.
But also, modern solution would be to use an led ring light and avoid the 4 pounds of old halogen ligh box and optical lines and such.
April fools episode. One Day Print.
@@richiek1155 ...shown in slow-motion.
30:25 ... I am thrilled .... popping that on my 3D printer , silcone cast it and well there we go . take my finger prints .....I AM ADAM SAVAGE
Did I miss the closeup of the screws?
No, he did the entire project and then didn't give us the money shot. Need to tweet him and ask for the pic ASAP.
that is coming in another video that he was about to film
That was what I was waiting for, to see what was previously unseeable, in that plastic box. Maybe we'll get to see it when he gets to fixing/moding/building whatever they belong to.
WTH! I was waiting for that closeup also.
I'm assuming it will be in a show and tell video. This was a one day build.
Awesome build! The arm of the stand appears to be hollow. Maybe you could run the fiber cable through this arm to tidy it up even more?
I was allowed to take away, free of charge, from my old work an Olympus inspection binocular microscope (100x) and twin-arm fiberoptic Lightbox.
Awesome kit, with super hi-res optics.
I was allowed to take a Olympus colposcope (gyneacology microscope) at a foundry where it was used for surface inspection of castings.. So it has a bit more distance for focussing. You understand why ;P
That distance is ideal for working underneath it.They wanted to throw it away in the skipp!!
BTW, do you know the similarity between a gyneacologist and a dog?... It's a wet nose.
These B&L's, even in the digital imaging age, are so handy for the basic viewing process. I'm totally envious of your having something similar. I surely didn't get to take one when I retired....
*spends a long time machining a perfect adapter to suit the threading of the microscope*
"Hmm, what should I do to hold the fiber optic cable? ... Ziptie"
A Ziptie is the default cable holder. Velcro straps are also widely used. No need to reinvent the wheel.
28:30 Shop doggo :)
Yay! someone else loves the doggo too!
Maggie!
We never saw the tiny screws!
Awesome build, anyhow. 😁
Maybe he meant screwdrivers?🤷♂️
the skrews are for show and tell video coming up soon
Ack! You left out the O ring!
Gasket, not o-ring.
on this day we witnessed "Gasketgate"
10:03 when your editor isn't paying attention
I'm suspecting he thought both lots of info were good & there was no real smooth way to edit it together.
He kept talking idiot
I can't believe I enjoyed watching the magnification of Adams finger 😂😂
Man do I have the biggest nostalgia every time I watch Adam
Myth busters
Hello my brother
Rotten Potato hello brother
The fiber optic lighting setup existed because at the time the microscope was manufactured, LED lights had not been invented yet, and there was no room above the inspection area for a bulky, hot, incandescent light.
Nowadays the fiber optic system is an archaic curiosity.
33:33 I was like 'Doggie! Show us your dog, Adam!' I've clearly been inside too long.
"so machinists of the world dont give me a hard time"
*sips apple juice out of a coffee cup judgingly*
We actually use grooving and cutoff tools like that a lot. They are very versatile. It works fine and a finishing pass with a grooving tool leaves a near perfect surface. The trick is to have enough feed so that the tool doesn't chatter.
My husband laughed at me because I yelled “DOGGO!” when Maggie appeared. Lockdown is hard guys. I miss dogs.
Who’s on “lock down”?
I’m just busy saying, “the gasket, the gasket, you’re forgetting the gasket.” Over and over
17:10 Why do you zero the DRO, then calculate how much to take off? Can't you set the DRO to the dimension you have (3" in this case), then move it in to where it needs to be (2.4")?
BTW, if you're doing it the calculate way, a digital caliper is easier as it can be zeroed then set to the dimension you want. Then when you measure the part, the caliper will display the difference.
And "roughly 2.4 inches" could have been 60mm.
because science!
It'd actually be closer to 61mm. If you're going to use metric, at least be precise.
I don't know how it works, but I imagine there is only a zero out button, I don't know if he can actually set it to 3" and then move down to 2.4"
He wasnt setting the material thickness he was setting is lathes axis .So he moved the lathes till it touched the material then worked from that zero.
@@DavidJohnson-qk5zt 60.9 something, which probably means it was made to clamp to 60mm. Plus he said it was't quite circular.
28:31 good girl comes into the shot. "i heard you need to give me some attention"
"That's a classic delrin move"
Love it
Would love to know where you got the fibre optic lamps as well
#ClassicDelrin
Amazon has 'em. They're like $300 bucks though.
Actually I was disappointed because from the title of the vid I thought he was going to build one of the fiber rings! Not just adapt an old one. Still, I ended up watching the whole thing....
That interlock at 4:25 reminds me of "casualty" We had on one of our Weapon systems. We troublshot for almost a day an issue, that was resolved when one of the guys happened to lean up against a drawer full of electronics that looked fully closed, but when he leaned against it it slightly moved, and error went away. =)~ Interlock wasn't fully engaged.. Silly us hehe
26:43 "Seal. Seal. Seal. SEAL! SEAL!!!
28:30 "DOGGY!!"
28:58 "DOGGY!!"
I keep wanting to buy a portable digital microscope hook up to PC or Android phone $ au$22 to$75 the win10 one u want🙃🦘 they got cheaper over the years also drain inspection ones 1mtr to 10mrt etc cables
Adam: Spends over an hour machine a coupler for the light.
Also Adam: I'm just gonna zip tie this cord up here.
Adam, you need a new workbench. Seriously. Maybe Rob Cosmans workbench could be a one-day build? Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/O0kN1URBUUQ/видео.html
05:16 “you can feel the uv just from the ultraviolet”
I never bothered to look up the transmission curve of the fibers - because you CAN feel something when they're turned up, I suspect that a bit of IR is coming through. In any case it's your tissue heating up, NOT "feeling UV".
Next One Day Build: A platform box that creates a clean white surface to attack the scope arm plus tidy containment for the light box and the viewing platform flips to double as a storage box for the whole kit.
Adam: Now if I can focus on my finger prints...
Microscope: ENHANCE
Adam: Is that a woman with a snake in the reflection of the mirror?
It’s a stereomicroscope, what you see is actually in 3D. There are many brands you can buy for a few hundred dollars on eBay. Leica is a great one...you can also get attachments to hook up a video camera, as well as increase magnification.
28:31 - Puppy spotting
“It can jump out of the chuck” ... which is why I wear a face shield when working the lathe ,is what should have come next. Come on man ! Think of the kids !
I'd love to know how much your shop is worth including matiriels and equipment.
*simple answer...a LOT*
It is irrelevant, the things he can produce with what is in the shop greatly surpass the value of what is in it.
@@KevinReinartz true, but I'm still interested how much he dedicates his wallet to buying tools for which he buys material to upgrade said tools
@@maximwannabepro3021 fair enough, that would be interesting to know
Looking for a lathe and a milling machine on ebay, they're a couple thousand dollars each (say $3000 each), coming to $6000. Band saw and table saw at $1500 each push that to $9000. Then there's a lot of other tools and tooling for the big tools, so I'm guessing that tools combined worth (or replacement value) would be between $15000 and $20000, so total equipment might very well be over $20,000 worth to replace. Since I'm just guessing, this might be off by a factor two. And that's ignoring all the furniture, costumes, props, collectibles, doodads and thingamajigs, and a lot of things that we've never even seen.
Also: don't get any ideas breaking in and stealing his stuff. Most of these things are very hard to move (you don't exactly put a milling machine in your back pocket), hard to sell (who'd want to buy a space suit that doesn't know/care that it was stolen from Adam?) or both.
So... You just showed a bunch of machinists and hobbyists your actual fingerprints.
Cue framing for crimes you didn't commit in 5... 4... 3....😂
When possible I'm a big fan of putting screws back in the holes they came from.
I just left that as a reply to another comment.
*Heads over to the fingerprint cloning lab* and thinking back to the Mythbusters episode on forging fingerprints to get past a biometric entry system. 😝 Don’t worry, your fingerprint is safe with me!
'Safe; is such a relative word.
"I learned to put the things in order of removal, so i always do that...." -> Proceeds not doing that
You might consider replacing the bulbs in your fiberoptic light box with daylight LED bulbs to get a brighter light that will show things in their true color.
Hey Adam, how is your injured finger doing by the way?
@ 30:27... never mind... 🤢🥴
I like ur nerdy fingers adam. And all the hard work you've done to to help us through this time of unrest. Love u buddy
One of my favourite types of work - making one thing fit into another thing. One medical worker I know asked for 3d printed adapters from a gas mask socket to an anti-viral filter. I felt like I was a part of Apollo 13 when I was working on it :D
My jealousy over your awesome microscope is palpable, I would love to have one of these for doing my electronics repairs!
Worked on my mother's watch, there was a screw with a .050" diameter head and a .0025" slot. Had to use a razor blade to tighten it.
Adam needs to make a V block for round stock. Very helpful.
You have so many links in the description of the video, but not one to the tested page.
...it's always a pleasure to watch Adam buidling something...! :D
...this clip inspired me to 3d-print a new tripod for my usb-microscope...!
Wiha 260/ 3.5 x 60mm. Gotcha. Off to Ebay I go...
I demand that you make a video where you put the gasket back in, you are driving me crazy.
Nooooo! the gasket maggie stops him!! I demand an update on twitter
Ok own up is it just me who would have Gaffered the light to the end of the scope??
That's what I was thinking. Duck tape, done.
32:40 As someone into 3D printing I was thinking about this and I wondered if it might actually take longer to print it. You'd have to design the part in software, that would take a while, then probably a couple hours to print.
Let's have a look at those little micro screws in the plastic case then ! 🤓
Show us the small screw that prompted the video 👀
OH! I had no idea that little tail was a depth gauge. Thanks, Adam. There's my "new thing every day" learning done. :-)
There's a step gauge on calipers too. They'e inside, outside, depth and step gauges. The step gauge is on the other side from the depth gauge.
Me neither!
Next week the scab Collection Ha haha!!!; )
@5:15 you say you can feel the UV heat, would it not be IR? I thought glass did quite a good job blocking UV?
Yepp, cant feel UV .. only IR
I need to build a glass lathe. It only needs to hold a couple pounds of glass and rotate very slowly. I want to build it lower powered so it won't rip my arm off. I can build it either from wood or glass.
(1) Gasket.
(2) 6K Ring Light.
Please make a NASA inspired omega speedmaster case
This round material became one of my favourites. As I watched you cutting it I remembered my own experiences.
I came across a company in London on a trading estate that had gone out of business and was dumping a lot of material in a skip.
It was in massive lengths and to big to get in a car so I ended up using the college minibus to transport it.
The stuff weighs a ton in 12 ft lengths and The bus ended up full. They duped a whole range of materials and in lots of different colours.
I grabbed a lot of the larger diameters for my own workshop and still have a lot of it left. Great for adapters and large washers and bushings.
I am soo jealous! :D I remember when I was in school we had one of those microscopes, and it was so fascinating to observe random things! Great one day build!
"Wait a minute. There's zoom!?!?!" ^_^
Awesome man. Should be easy to get those splinters that you cant see. I have to get one of those. You have the coolest tools.
Adam you forgot the rubber seal !!!
Dude!!!! I wanted to see those tiny screws! Thats the whole reason I sat through this video (joking... i love your videos. But seriously, let's see those screws)
But we never got to see the screws up close!
I want a Savage Industries Measure Once, Cut Twice, T-shirt. With a band-aid graphic included.
One of the most disgusting experiments in the channel))) 👍👆👇✌🤞🖖🤘
"It's here, in my... microscope box" Man you've got all the toys
“I need to fix this lightbox”
*grabs flashlight*
28:03 If you're not rummaging, R U even Maging?
Part 2 "Oh Yeah the Micro Screws" / I see this as the beginning of many Show In tells to come.
"machine a coupling" Damn I would have just stuck some magnet sheets to both parts.
Please do a pottery wheel video
All that and we don't even get to see the tiny screws.
Yey, I got Adams fingerprint! Now if only he would install those stupid locks I can redo the fingerprint-lock heist!
Addams fingers tips are full of....... (let me zoom in....mmm Adam I can see vfx, one day build scars and amazing work)
I've been wanting to 3D print an adapter that lines my phone camera up perfectly with the eyepiece on my microscope. But I'm lazy. The positioning of the lens is so sensitive to get the right picture, you'd either have to make 50 prototypes or design it to be adjustable.
5:55 You can screw a Barlow lens into that port to tune the focal length. Then the clamping screws of the cold light source fasten to the Barlow lens
OK, I haven't spent much time around power tools, but I was cringing the whole time he was using the bandsaw... and then LEANS ON THE MACHINE WHILE IT'S STILL MOVING?!? That just... doesn't feel safe?
15:55
“2.4 - I’m gonna think that it’s 2.4: engineers at big companies like nice round numbers” - Adam, American
“2.4 - it’s probably 2.36, because that’s 60 mm, and engineers at big companies like nice round numbers” - Rest of the world
Thanks, but you need to move up a few decades. 1080p and 4K microscopes/cameras with HDMI are quite common now. Prosumer Andonstar ADSM302 or Hayear 4K or lots of Lapsun or Eakins.
4K capture to USB (blue).
Put the rubber back home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish I can be dud next door......and go (hay Adam u doing something ill take the videos for yah) and make some cinematic videos..... Hmmmm
Great one day build, you forgot to show the microscopic Screws from the start. Brought the T-shirt already 👍🏻
I'm spending the quarantine dismantling and rebuilding a bunch of old mechanical watches (complete with their many tiny screws!). I just bought an excellent LED light-ring for my inspection microscope for $20, that is a quarter the size of that fiber-optic unit, not even including the light source box or its huge cable. Fiber optics were great in the pre-LED days when the only other options were incandescent bulbs, or bulky fluorescent rings. Nowdays, much cheaper/better/easier options exist...
On the other hand, I'd love to have an excuse to buy a lathe and a big old delrin billet :)
