Doesn't it always seem like the more an art/kinetic project like this is pointless and wild, the more personally satisfying it is once it's done? Watching it run in all of its glory is the best reward. I even put my phone down to watch it on the bigger screen.
When I was growing up in the early 70's, we had the original Fisher Price garage in the family. I loved it for the slide for the cars and the hand crank elevator. Your slides on this project brings back happy memories
Very cool idea and execution! A couple of things: I think it looks best entirely monochrome. And the clogging issue at the wall might be solved by changing the cross-section of the wall into a slight curve or chevron, with its farthest protrusion toward the Buddies. A wedge shape might add a further layer of meaning, or clarify the existing implications of two slides.
I like both. The clogging implies “just look up,” the wedge speaks about the division these devices have caused. Having said that, I agree that a little bit of a wedge would be nice. 2 reasons: 1) it’s kind of maddening to see the gaps for the OCD people in the world (not me of course) 2) the evenly gap on the top conveyor belt really speaks of an assembly line; which goes with the theme of no creativity and even matrix-esque. Anyway, I love this!

comparing people being maybe a bit too phone dependent, to the systemic abuse of children in the postwar British schooling system, is craaazy. dude would love the Nostalgia Critic
Totally agree, if this was in a fantastic modern art gallery, with hundreds of exhibits, I'm pretty sure that this is what I would be talking about afterwards.
6:21 was literally wondering that when you mentioned earlier that your wrist was tired. Thought maybe you couldn't fit one where you were screwing or didn't want to strip out the plastic. Pro tip for everyone, from someone who took far too long to learn and understand: Use the clutcc mechanism on your drills (the spinning part with numbers around the chuck) lowering it makes it where the drill stops and clicks when it gets too hard to spin so you don't strip out or overtighten. I spent far too late ng not understanding why that was there and using it set on drill mode, and stripped tons of screws and threads
I applaud your tenacity in following through from concept to realization. Napkin sketching is one thing. A moving conveyor with Seussian "Distractoids" bumbling along is quite another. Well done!
Brilliant !! To me the video began to show even higher thoughtfulness after 9 mins. The elevating mechanism, that orientation mechanism. And at last, the stopping & waiting of lower conveyor belt. At the end the original idea is represented so well, & the brilliance of the contraption comes altogether as a surprise. Well Done !!
I'm not sure how the algorithm didn't recommend you to me like forever ago. Your stuff is amazing and so compelling! Please keep creating! You rock! Excited to catch up on everything I've missed!
You should offer them to galleries or museums for temporary display, you might end up with it being worth a fortune like that sculpture in Beverly Hills Cop.
My theory of why some TH-camrs have less subs than they should is because of the attention economy. Once you think of subscribers as a currency, which like all currencies has limited supply and high demand, it all starts to makes sense.
Jay 🤔 I have followed you for, OMG, years now. I always get excited when you do something new and then you just go to that one step further that we all know has come to pass. So now it seems you have done it! There are no words for me to use or say anymore. Now the only thing I can do is grin from ear to ear and shake my head in amazement. Please keep me grinning! I know of the old studio but you now have what looks like a great new studio with all kinds new stuff I have never seen in action. A video of a tour, perhaps? With all of the time with you from you being and seeing what you’re becoming, truly from the bottom of my heart, congratulations, continue with that journey of a mind that can’t stop creating works of art and constantly improving on that creation. Don’t know you other than these videos but hope you become that man that one day, I can say, I knew him when…. Only the best for you!! Oh, by the way I happen to see some daisies on the wall. 😂 Just like the key chain I have! 😂
Wow! This is my favorite creation of yours since its an impressive piece of engineering as well as a meaningful work of art. Do you have any plans to show this off at a gallery?
So great to see it all come together, and 13 minutes doesn't give the whole process justice. I'm an engineer with a 3D printer and I learned a lot throughout that I hope to be able to use in my own projects. Thanks for sharing not just the finished result, but the whole process with us!
I really don't think this didn't change anything. At least for me it helped me reflect a bit on my own use of the phone and how it can add some FOMO and mental distraction. The whole process was just a real pleasure to see, and it's great you poured an idea into this sculpture. In the end, that's what art is best for - expressing concepts, ideas and feelings, and that comes through great here!
I am amazed by this and can't believe the effort put in! Love it man, keep it up! I would love to see a video how you combine laser cut parts with 3d printed parts.
I'm amazed by the fact you literally read all the comments! I just tapped the newest tab to see new comments and saw you answered comments from a month ago. Kudus bro
Glad to see you finish this project!! Turned out great. It’s amazing how almost all of this was 3D printed. That definitely took a huge amount of time to 3D model every single one of the parts
You should place a second IR sensor right before the orientation device that can turn on the bottom conveyor belt when aren’t any buddies lined up. 12:45
I've been following this project almost since the begining and I'm so satified with the results. I'd like to higlight the aesthetics of the sculpture and deep creative thinking, knowledge and experience that takes to make your ideas come true. I have to say that this process is a great motivation and inspiration. Thanks for sharing and wish you the best in the next project! Pura Vida 🌿
I wish you at least mentioned how "boomer" the vibe of "I saw people walking with their phone and thought humanity was doomed" is. The apparent lack of self-awareness is honestly shocking.
its been so cool watching this from the beginning or at least close too. i remember being so pissed that it wasn't done when I found you; but now AHHH it was awsome to get exited for watch upload too. Amazing sculputer! cant wait to see more from you.
I just love this one! Amazing work and the phone dudes are awsome! Do you sell or publish the dudes for download somewhere? Couldn’t find them on your site and would love to print one! Keep up the good work! 👍👍
I love the idea behind the buddy model and entire machine. I've been seeing progress videos here and there having only guesses to what they're designed that way for and what they're looking at. The entire machine and the reasoning behind it is a piece of art.
Brilliant! I particularly like the way you have combined multiple assembly techniques and the scale of it of course. There's a huge difference in your 'addiction' in that it takes effort, doom-scrolling social media is passive distraction. That's my input to that debate!
Rad man first time watcher. Admittedly, I skipped to the end, because that’s the mood i was in. - but mad props on the concept, determination, and execution.
I too was wondering why you didn't grab the drill to start. I feel like the bottom section should have a 3rd belt for the very end so you can queue up to close large gaps baggage conveyor at an airport style. Been a joy to watch the great work that made this come together!
I’ve been looking forward to seeing the final results of this project and am not disappointed! If you don’t mind some feedback I would have put a slight crease down the middle of the wall. Nothing too extreme, maybe 5-10 degrees from flat probably. Would just subtly nudge the figures to the side so the pileup is a little less chaotic.
I've been following along since the beginning of this project. I'm pretty sure that it was a short of your very first prototypes with buddy that made me subscribe. Your creativity, ingenuity and problem solving skills are something to be admired, and an inspiration. Keep up the good work.
This is a very impressive piece. I actually have a fun idea you might want to ponder, you could embed an acrylic piece into the 'phone screen' and edge-light it with a single LED, then use a super-capacitor and a resonant coil setup to charge them at the arm station. The end result could either be the phone screen fading out around the time they hit the wall, are heading back, or just staying on perpetually depending on the desired balance of how much they are charged/discharged.
This is an awesome project! The amount of time, patience and creativity invested in this piece of art is just insane. It looks awesome, it works and it has a meaning which is very representative these days! This project and generally all of your projects are a pleasure to watch! Keep up the good work!
Just a thought, it may have been simpler to have the wall angled so the figures only have one way to go, then a conveyor in the opposite direction to bring them back to the start. Then you would have two lines of people parallel to each other forever going in opposite directions.
Prodjects like this are awesome, must've taken a lot of effort going through each bit of it, and it really reminds me of the beginning of wall-e and how they practically ignored everything but what was on their screens. the only question now being what you do with the final product? dis-assemble it for a future project or keep it as a decorative piece that activates with a flick of a switch.
What a wonderful sculpture! I love your use of white on all the parts, the lack of color drives the eye to the flowing lines and the construction. I say redo the "Buddies" in white. I built your wall clock, and I am still messing with the adjustments, but it is great. Your suggestion of the Esun White filament was perfect, my PrusaMk3 loves that stuff.
It's like the reverse of someone making their favorite video game into a sculpture. There's a game in there somewhere... like an updated Lemmings -where no lemming cares about anything except what his screen says.
This is absolute great and original work of engineering and art. But: I don't regret making my life's main choice to become a software-guy only. It is soooooo much easier and cheaper and equally satisfying to get something complex running in the software field only... 😊
In 2 weeks I [M44] am going back to school and I'll be taking Mechanical CAD. I can't wait to learn how to better use design programs and start making my ideas come to life.
add a protruding ramp to the base of the barrier so that it contacts the dolls really close to their bottom center. That way they won’t tip over while bunching up
I'm kind of irrationally mad at how slick both this design and the video production is. I had no idea who you are yesterday, and just like that you're swinging for the big leagues of TH-cam engineering. Can't wait to go through the catalog and get caught up.
ive been here since the start, even if it was just seeing your videos by chance on shorts. i've always loved ur vids, and idk when i started watching you, but i think it was around christmas of 2021. i loved watching you make this project. in fact, you're part of the reason i bought a printer for myself!
hey JBV i just wanted to mention the your fluorescent tube light effecting your camera and its making you video flicker and have weird green striping maybe you need to switch to LED light to avoid that problem 🤔
Oh the irony of this beautiful sculpture being debuted on TH-cam! I can almost imagine some engrossed pedestrian viewer walking into something while watching!😂 Seriously though, this would be a great piece to display in an art museum!!!👍🏽
I've sang the song so many time and thought it the reason for the land of discipline now a days but I never seen the video until you mentioned it and showed a clip! Nice work on this
this is art in motion . this is an awsome project .i shure fear the amount of filement used /the hours to print and asemble it . mad respect for making and desinging it .
Comment for the algorithm. But for real, its really nice to see someone so heated into something. There is a famous Czech movie Pelisky and there is a famous quote: so much work for such a silly thing. Well done sir.
Pretty cool result! I think the orientation method could've been simplified by placing a magnet under the conveyor belt, since Buddy's magnet is off center and on the back, it would orient the figure facing away from the stationary magnet until it'd snap facing the front. Though looking at how thick the belt is that would need to be a pretty strong magnet! Maybe a similar method with magnets on side barriers could work!
I’d have to say, you are amazing. You’re doing everything I wish I could do, except I have no artistic bone in my body. Not only that, this whole thing is a process. Process of trial and error, wasted 10’s ,of 1000’s of hours on wasted time and filament because you realize that all of these parts you printed, won’t work. Not only that. You design and engineer your parts. That’s another add on stress factor. And you absolutely have joy in wasting material and hours on 3d printing! How do you do this? I don’t even design any .stl’s; I just throw it in the slicer and print. My Adventurer 3 printer caused me so much anguish, I’m on the verge of chucking that piece of shit out of my second story window. How do you do this? I wish I could enjoy failure as much as you do! Awesome work man!
Incredible. I would never had the patience or brain to bring something like this to life. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg you guys are such similar TH-camrs! I love the 3d printing community and it’s great to see small channels grow ❤
Really appreciate it! Of course, been following your work since the beginning, always amazing 👊🙌
:O
You guys should Collab!!❤
JBV creative + unnecessary inventions = amazing Collab-you should collab together🤝🤝🤝

Appreciate it!! Thank you 🙏
Me as well
look past spelling and grammer what do you see?
Anyone can be a critic
I wonder if it would work better if you added a slight curve to the wall/sign at the top. It would be cool to see this in a museum!
I was thinking the same thing. Would be pretty cute to see in a museum. Or at an airport.

I'm pretty sure he was saying it ironically...

People used to design things without computers, maybe he should try to be less dependant on one

Thanks Emi! Appreciate you appreciating the effort 👊
How the animator Steve Cutts sees the world:
You could put a little LED light on each of the phones which would make it look so cool in the dark
He could also make an angle at the wall that they are falling so that they can go at the slides faster
That would be fun
This belongs in a museum...
Maybe one day 🕺
This was absolutely amazing keep doing what you’re doing this was a long time coming and I am glad it worked out

Literally amazing!!! I think that you need to add a bit of grip on the top conveyor, so you will accellerate the dropping of the puppets.

ive been here since the start, even if it was just seeing your videos by chance on shorts. i've always loved ur vids, and idk when i started watching you, but i think it was around christmas of 2021. i loved watching you make this project. in fact, you're part of the reason i bought a printer for myself!
Appreciate the ongoing support! Glad I was able to inspire you 😀
Love seeing it all come together in one video. Incredible design and execution man!
Thanks Trav 👊👊
Thanks for feeding our addictions! Reminds me of the humans in WallE
This would be a fascinating art installation at a museum. Of course, no phones allowed!
People at the museum recording on the phones would unknowingly be part of the exhibit!
hey JBV i just wanted to mention the your fluorescent tube light effecting your camera and its making you video flicker and have weird green striping maybe you need to switch to LED light to avoid that problem 🤔
Thanks for the heads up!
@@Engineezy I love your videos and we like to see you improve everyday all love and respect keep it going 🥰
Oh the irony of this beautiful sculpture being debuted on TH-cam!
I can almost imagine some engrossed pedestrian viewer walking into something while watching!😂
Seriously though, this would be a great piece to display in an art museum!!!👍🏽
Hahah the irony indeed!
This needs to be in a modern art museum!
That would be awesome!
I've sang the song so many time and thought it the reason for the land of discipline now a days but I never seen the video until you mentioned it and showed a clip!
Nice work on this
Thanks Adam!!
this is art in motion . this is an awsome project .i shure fear the amount of filement used /the hours to print and asemble it . mad respect for making and desinging it .
Thank you! It was definitely a grind at times
Absolutely magnificent!! I love the thought behind it and the technology you used to make it!!!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!🎉
Thank you Carlo!!!

Comment for the algorithm. But for real, its really nice to see someone so heated into something. There is a famous Czech movie Pelisky and there is a famous quote: so much work for such a silly thing. Well done sir.
Haha great quote, so true. Appreciate it
Pretty cool result! I think the orientation method could've been simplified by placing a magnet under the conveyor belt, since Buddy's magnet is off center and on the back, it would orient the figure facing away from the stationary magnet until it'd snap facing the front. Though looking at how thick the belt is that would need to be a pretty strong magnet! Maybe a similar method with magnets on side barriers could work!
Could be an interesting approach! Would be fun to play around with that concept
its finally done! congratulations it turned out great!
Finally 🥵🥵 thank you!
I’d have to say, you are amazing. You’re doing everything I wish I could do, except I have no artistic bone in my body.
Not only that, this whole thing is a process. Process of trial and error, wasted 10’s ,of 1000’s of hours on wasted time and filament because you realize that all of these parts you printed, won’t work. Not only that. You design and engineer your parts. That’s another add on stress factor. And you absolutely have joy in wasting material and hours on 3d printing!
How do you do this? I don’t even design any .stl’s; I just throw it in the slicer and print. My Adventurer 3 printer caused me so much anguish, I’m on the verge of chucking that piece of shit out of my second story window.
How do you do this? I wish I could enjoy failure as much as you do! Awesome work man!
