Carbon Fiber Pokeball - How it's made (Pokemon)
ฝัง

- Hi everyone! After a few years I've finally managed to finish this carbon fiber pokeball!
In this video tutorial you'll see me go through a few different prototyping techniques to finish this pokeball.
First the two carbon fiber halves are made using the technique called resin infusion, this is a technique where epoxy resin is pulled through the carbon fiber using vacuum. This means that the carbon fiber is put into a mould with a layer of peelply on top, followed by an infusion mesh and then sucked under vacuum using a vacuumbag with tacky tape.
Once the resin is cured the part is removed and trimmed. To achieve even better results, I've sanded the part and gave it a layer of epoxy on top. Trimming is done as well by hand using a dremel and permagrit rotary disk.
The middle part with the 'push' button that will let the pokemon out is made out of epoxy resin. First a master was made using a 3D print. The 3D print is finished using a spray putty, then finished with a layer of clear. Once everything is ready the silicone mould is made using Additional cure silicone that has a transparant finish. The two halves of the mould are made using a spray release agent inbetween for easy demoulding. Once everything is fully cured we are ready to pour the epoxy resin into the silicone mould. I Went for a clear red tinted epoxy, Once cured the part is pulled out of the mould and sealed with a layer of 2K clear.
For the wooden veneer stand the pokeball is put on I've used some wood veneer with some fiberglass and epoxy resin inbetween. When Still wet, so not fully cured, I've bend the sheet into it's final shape. Using vacuum and a vacuumbag for this is ideal as it will tightly compress all the layers, resulting in a strong, thin laminate.

Correction. That's a Luxury Ball my friend. That's too classy to be a normal Poke Ball ;3
Modtro64 the luxury has some extra white and yellow rings around it
@@ethankidney9600 I know that. I was just saying it's more like a Luxury Ball cause of how high quality the Carbon Fiber Ball looks
Yeah, that definitely looks most like a luxury ball
Tech Ball. Allows for easier capture of dark and electric type pokemon.
@@PartOfTheGame why those two Types specifically?
When you’re ready to sell please let us know. This is such an amazing piece! Great job!
will propably be anounced later on on my youtube channel when I know more!
Great cuz I would buy one
Me too
same I would buy one as well! It would look amazing on photoshoots!
Giveaway too!
We need that pokeball to catch Arceus.
the god ball
why not use a masterball? 100% catch rate?
@@MonkeyDMan-mv9ep arceus is a god
@@YuvrajSingh-bh8vh doesn't Masterball still work
@@stevethea5250 don't know that
That pokeball dance at the end made me happy. Have a great day :).
Haha :D you to ;)
I work with composites too. Mostly prepreg. Watching this makes me want to buy my own amateur resin transfer mold setup. You are soo cool.
Prepreg is cool as well! use it now and then as well on smaller projects :) Resin infusion is pretty cool because you can have a wider range of materials you can use
My pkmn gold/silver/crystal flashbacks are kicking in and the apricorns used.
God first time here I wish I could buy one of those they are so beautiful
Braeden Of Rhea same I’m looking for how to buy it
same
Same here
Why same it's definitely
Isn't carbon fibre like super expensive?
The real "Kurt" from Pokemon Gold/silver.. Good job man!
I was looking at resin infusion a few years ago as I was interested in boat building using this technique. I have other ideas now and these video tutorials are really good. Keep up the good work.
I love your channel because you give so detailed instructions in your videos and you even inform if you have problems with somethings! Your awesome!🤘😎👍
Really don't care for Pokémon but I know craftsmanship when I see it. 👍🏻
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
This comment hurts my soul, but I can respect it
@@AlexsaurusRex agreed
Thank you!
This reply section really shows why you don't care
This is absolutely stunning.
Very inspiring work!!
Thanks man!
Your work is simply fantastic. A true art.
I'd love to hear what you've studied.
Tnks!
studied industrial product design :) so in lign with my projects on youtube :D
this is absolutly amazing work i loved it, idk why youtube sent me this video, but it's insane how that caborn fiber Pokeball looks, great job
Great attention to detail. Specially how you took the time to align the fibers of the ball on both halves! Kudos man, great job.
Took me a good amount of time indeed :D
AWESOME build
Would defo buy if you decide to sell.
Personally would've liked to see you add a light source inside the bottom 1/2 to illuminate the red ring and a docking system for the stand so it lights up when you place in on the stand
thanks! will look into your remarks for version 2.0 :)
you really should start selling these out, it looks AMAZING
still looking into it! mosty copyright stuff
i would love to have one of these pokeballs for my desk set up love the black and red
The wobble at the end sold me
Excellent work! I love watching someone passionate about their craft.
Add an LED inside it to make the red ring glow. will look sick

@@excelsior8682 LMAO
No apricorns were harmed in the making of this project
I love how you lined up the stretchy pattern of the carbon fiber, it looks so crisp
took me some time :D
Your pokeball design looks incredible
Really creative man. Don't know why anyone would dislike it
thanks! hah the internet is strange place indeed :D
You can catch Bugattis and Lamborghinis with that Pokeball!
Carbon Pokeball, does for rock and steel types what Net Ball does for Water and Bug.

You did such an incredible job. Very fun to watch. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for your positive comment! glad to hear you liked the video
This is the most epic pokeball i have ever seen. If it was in game, I would get over 9,000!
I always love watching the process of something like this being made. Shows how much work goes into something that is custom. I restore and do my own custom things but nothing to this extreme! Wish i could though
it's a matter of a lot of learning, mistakes and spending time on a learning a craft indeed :)
To light the middle you should use a wireless LED
will look into it for version 2.0
Dude, Amazing job! Instant subscribe :D If you still have and are willing to part with one, I would love to make a deal. Keep up the great work
Nice! Will do my best to make more videos you'll like 😉
Wa
@@MatthieuLibeert what
Awesome work and skills!
This is probably the most badass looking custom pokeball i ever seen.
The Craftsmanship in this is exceptional.
thanks! took me some time indeed!
makes a poke ball out of carbon fiber
*adds weight*
i think he wanted it to look nice and not make it light weight
Its more of a balance than a weight. He says it in the video that he adds it so it always rolls into a specific position.
I would like to buy one , give me a price
Actually I don't think anyone would try to throw it or anything. It's more like a decoration. So I think it's ok.
It will make it harder for Pokemon to escape :) hehehe.....
Please I would die to get one of these. This project looks amazing
Glad you liked it! thanks
With the black and deep red, it looks a lot like a Team Rocket themed ball. Hell, if you put a bold red "R" on the top then it would be!
I was thinking the exact same thing. This would be sweet to have as an exclusive ball only used by team rocket. Also it might have special properties that allow them to use it to catch other trainers pokemon, since you can't use regular pokeballs for that. Good flavor wise too.
good point
Looks really good! And the weight is clever because it’ll rock like the poke ball does in the show
was my idea as well ;-)
I think a stainless cap for the button would really finish this off perfectly. Great work
That looks similiar to the dark ball in Pokémon 4Ever - Celebi: Voice of the Forest
This is really nice, but i want to know how i can buy a carbon fiber pokeball!!!
*IKR!!*
To then say 'its too expensive' and end up not buying it :P
Shion Sinx how much ill buy it $200 - $300?
I’d love to know how much it would cost for him to make one
@@DharcKarma worth it
i fkin want to buy one of these xD it looks so cool. good job dude
Same here
i second this
Third
I want one too *-*
Same
I would totally buy this
Was hoping you'd make the light slowly pulse when it's in the Pokeball. It'd make great room ambiance.
looking into it for version 2.0 ;)
Alot of time to make it, guess that's why I think it's the greatest pokeball I'll ever see
So you made a Fast Ball 2.0? Come here Deoxys!
It looks more like a luxury ball to me
It would probably be a Heavy Ball 2.0
I would love a luxury ball like you made before but maybe as a switch game case
id love to make my OC's custom made pokeball using techniques like this... i just dont have the supplies or budget to do so
Can I PLEASE buy one from you?!?!?! I'm so serious about that it's so beautiful. 😭😭😭😭
as by now not unfortunately, need to look into the legal aspect with copyright and such
@@MatthieuLibeert you should be fine tbh I find so many people sell unofficial pokeballs on etsy and many other online markets with no issue! :)
The pokemon company contacted me directly to advice me not to sell them 🙂

@@Protector1981 No shit bruh. Look at the url. 😂
1. Beautiful Pokeball
2. Very interesting video
3. Nope. That is NOT something most people could do at home XD XD XD
you should drill a hole in the bottom and install a LED light and put it on a stand. and let the RED GLOW
omg dont drill a hole
some batterys with led's
and magnet's to keep it shut
i would love to see these pokeballs in other colors, mostly blue and green to complete the trio! well done on these! they look really cool!
thanks for your comment! will look into that for version 2.0 ;)
That is absolutely sick. They should make Poké Balls that you can customize in the games. I'd make this all the time.
haha would be awesome indeed!
Matthieu: Easy materials, do it in home, do it by yourself.
Me: Not even i can draw a pokebal and u want i craft one.
this video is more of a "How it's made" type instead of "follow me tutorial" But I know what you mean, takes a lot of time, investement, learning to make these kind of projects unfortunately
Yea
will you ever sell them and or make more for sale
would depend on copyright stuff unfortunately
Please please please sell them we will not tell anyone they look amazing!
I hope, I want one

How to tell if you did a good job? The final product looks like it was simple... like it's something anyone can do... and for a Pokeball, it should look that way. This was such an amazing job You actually made it look easy, even though it obviously was not..
I'll buy one too.
You'll probably get high demand. I'd love a pokeball, honestly. Or at least this is the best one I've ever seen.
Kurt!!! I finally find you. I have apricorns to be converted to pokeballs please.
Apricorns ........ smh
maybe I am Kurt ;)
Hey how much would it cost one to buy this from you?
So far they aren't for sale yet unfortunately, I'm looking into it ;)
Gorgeous! Did you decide already if you are going to sell them or giving them away? :o I would really love to have one of them! Excellent work! Congrats! 🙌🏽
He probably cant sell them. A while ago people sold really wel made Pokeballs, but Nintendo told them to stop (because of obvious reasons). I think its the same for this
@@FGoing Oh, I didn't know that, well, I guess you right, making so nice pokeballs and sell them isn't a joke for Nintendo haha.
Well, the only thing we can do is watch his work and hope to meet someone who can made us something like that. 🤣
@@Dragunov12 Correct indeed! would like to avoid to stand in court against a company like nintendo :D
@@MatthieuLibeert Clever decision, hahaha.
Once again, cograts for your work bro, you are so nifty! 👏🏽
WOAH! THIS LOOKS LIKE A REAL LIFE LUXURY BALL!!!
haha might be the real deal ;)
WHY DOES IT LOOKS SO COOL

So much hard work put into this. Perfection
If you didn't glue the top on, and make a ring holder, perfect way to propose to a pokemon fan. WHICH I WANT ONE TO DO...
Haha great idea! will look into it for version 2.0 ;)
Matthieu Libeert yay.
Please take my money
mine too
Yall that work with carbon fiber know dem splinters.
r/ihadastroke
Great video man! I work in the aerospace composites industry and we use prepreg plies that already have the resin impregnated in them! But resin infusion is cool. I would get some cut resistant gloves that you can use for when you are demolding the carbon because I thought for sure you were going to cut your hand on those sharp flash edges.
Use prepreg as well now an then :) haha I have some gloves but was to lazy to get them out, risky stuff indeed but was fine on this project :p
I had no idea of how to work with carbon fiber, although I have a few projects _(probably very distant future)_ that I would like to tackle as well. The Vacuum techniques were new to me and made me more confident _(and not OVERconfident)_ in this material. Good one! :D
glad this project helped you in some way! good luck with your projects!
I wonder how many subscribers you need to get a carbon play button? XD
haha I only make them to give away to youtubers that inspire me :)
Carbon fiber, you can make a 250 million dollar plane, or you can make a pokeball.
日本人いませんか
はーい！

I neeeeeeedddd one of these I love pokémon and I love your work it looks amazing
THANK YOU!!!
I love that pokeball, my fav is Cherish ball, the events one, but yours is also awesome. ^^
The thumbnail is really bossy geez
Make more sell them. With the new Pokemon game out this year you could make a killing. Due to the cost of the material and labor I would pay 179.99 to 199.99 for it.
Thanks for your comment and input! still looking into it, would all depend on copyright stuff and the amount of orders :)
if u wanna get rich sell it on ebay
You mean if you wanna make eBay rich... those crooks take all your profits!
Awesome project, loved the attention to detail.
took me a good amount of time indeed! glad you liked the video!
That is what we call a luxury ball in the Pokémon world my friend
Thank you
Every 10 dislikes spawns a legendary Pokemon ;) (I am joking)
did it work? :D
"Oak's words echoed... There's a time and place for everything, but not now."
awesome, It very nice, but I think if you try to get the light inside the ball, I think it will more beautiful
Even if it was in english, it was amazing. I hope you can do that for all pokéballs (GS Ball or Safari Ball for example) and make a video about all pokéballs. It will be a great challenge, a lot of people will be happy. Congratulations.
should put led light into it. have it pulse. look so cool. thanks for sharing
will look into that for Version 2.0
If you where to add a few leds inbedded in the resin center ring of the next Poke CF Ball you could add a 3.7v 1000mah lipo batt, with a micro lipo and install a wireless charging module in the bottom of the ball and in bed the qi wirless charge pad into the stand. You could have it constant, a ball bearing motion contact switch, or impact sensor hooked up to an adjustable timer ic for a few minutes light up time only when being picked up. Just a thought could work but the carbon might be to dense for the qi signal. If you like the idea we could possibly collaborate on it. Great injection CF work and it shows with all that time and effort.
Thanks for your input, I'll look into it for version 2.0
the way it shakes with that weight added really makes it look like the shakey shakey a pokeball does before the catch is confirmed.... naice
glad you liked that effect as well ;)
here would be a cool thing that you could do.
if you weight the bottom, like you did, you could put a motion sensor inside so that when it stops rocking back and forth it could flash a light and play the little chime when a pokemon is caught.
great idea! will look into that!
This looks cool, I want to see them add a Pokeball that looks like this into the series.
would be cool :D
it would be so awesome to have one of those rockin pokeball's, and the play buttons rock
Thank you!!!
@@MatthieuLibeert Welcome. I love Pokemon, and the play button's are just wild
I wish I could own one of these... true craftsmanship
thank you! glad you liked my video!
You did a very good job. Thanks for sharing
Amazingly done! Wow! I do this kind of work myself from time to time and I can tell you have a passion for both it and Pokemon.
haha 100% true
14:13 Funny story, it actually kind of looks like a Luxury Ball, a fairly niche/rare Pokeball type. They both have a black top and bottom, the main difference being that the Luxury Ball has a golden center ring as opposed to your red one. It also has a golden ring on its upper half, whereas yours is symmetrical - still, a really close match!
Definitely looks like a Luxury Ball 2.0, love it
