The black inserts to make it look like the handle bar is a proper Lego build 👏👏👏 You really need to be a Lego fanboy and a perfectionist to worry about that. Well done.
The algorithms have blessed me. This beautiful content found me after a years long search of the "right" ebike. My family and I absolutely adore Lego and my boys spend all their time creating abd building. This video has brought so much joy just watching you connect all these XXL pieces. I know NOTHING abiut 3D printing and would absolutely enjoy buying this as a "kit" to assemble at home. Oh my please oh please offer this for production somehow!! Id be happy for you to take my money!! 💙🖤❤
For the breaking handles maybe consider using 4593 Antenna Small Lever with 4592 Antenna Small Base attached with a 28974 Minifigure Neck Bracket with Back Stud - Thick Back Wall or use 4735 Bar 1x3 with Clip and Stud Holder
Watching somebody walk through their thought process as they design and build it is such a joy. Thanks for sharing this. The PCBway lens is absolutely jaw dropping that it can be that clear.
I think it'd be really cool if you printed some of those LEGO "antenna" pieces to cover the brake lever with something that looks a bit more LEGO.👍 Even if the scale was off by a little bit, the authentic appearance would be an enormous benefit in my opinion.
Just found your channel the other day and saved this video. You, sir, are a genius! Love your creations! Can't wait to see all you have already done and whatever comes in the future! 🙏💪
👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽. Is it weird I got goosebumps from this. Well done. 10/10. Attention to detail is fantastic. I have been a Lego enthusiast practically my whole life. And being able to create print and assemble is truly amazing. 💯
Beautiful ✨ I love your ability to really mix in all the structural and electric mechanisms whilst still looking like LEGO. I missed out on technic for years until I got set 42058 and instantly fell in love with technic lego, and now I’ve spent like $3-4k on technic alone 😅
>be me >I built a lego motorcycle (you can disassemble it like lego) >ride it >oh no, I crashed onto a wall >get up and start building >happy to ride my lego motorcycle again
Always a good day when Matt posts a LEGO build! Great ingenuity in adding the structural rigidity and the little visual covers! I just showed my Son this and said I have wanted to do this for some time (build in larger scale), but I have a standard Prusa, so..... I could double or triple size things but that isn't fun, lol.
What I would do with the handle bars is to take the gray pieces that connect them to the vertical bars and put them on upside down. As they are mounted right now leaning on them causes them to flex and potentially break. Flipping them however allows the grey disk spacers to prevent the parts from flexing, potentially making them a little bit sturdier.
Thank you had this kit as a child. I just assembled my first 3d printer haven't calibrated yet. I know this won't be my first project, yet it is on the list now. I have much to learn and I am eager.
Darn I really want an optical analysis of that 3d print as a real lens, could make many projects that are very tricky to find a suitable lens for easy if its a good as it looked on camera. Not to mention as an alterntive to having to source a good enough version of your old classic car/bike's lightbulb lens/covers to fill and polish then cast new ones. Worth the effort of casting no doubt if you have a few buddies with the same problem, but still if the 3d printer can actually just do it.
@@MattDenton Agreed, I've seen passably useable 3d printed optical type elements plenty of times, but ones that at least on camera appear so perfect is a new one on me.
I absolutely can’t believe I’m only just finding your channel! I appreciate the dedication and enthusiasm. You are fulfilling everyone’s childhood through these videos. You earned yourself a subscriber. Keep up the great work!
Love this and all your videos. I wish you would make more videos, more often, but I understand how hard and expensive that would be. But... You know what we are all thinking. Make the headlight work for real.
Another Matt Denton giant Lego build?! YES PLEASE! Chances this winds up as an available STL file?? Your giant go-kart was one of the first larger projects I did when I first go into 3d printed 5 years ago!
@@MattDenton An STL kit file to purchase and a heads up r.e. the motor kit used plus the machined parts used in pt 2 ordered from PCBWAY would be 🤌 althought I can understand if a certain Danish company aren't happy about this haha
So cool! Curious to see how you will handle the suspension. Seems like you've got a few areas where there will be a lot of force as you demonstrated in the video, the gap between the handlebars/handlebars and the pivot for the steering - hope you don't go over any big bumps too fast! Very cool though, I want one. Will be great to buzz around on at events.
A long time ago I asked about your intro music because it sounded really close to a Ratatat song. Today I finally downloaded the audio and searched for it. Turns out it's JinglePunks royalty free track called Exploding Predators... off of an album called "Ratatat". Fascinating that an ersatz "album" would literally be labelled what it's imitating.
Is it possible to buy the as a kit? Maybe even 2?… one 2 wheel and one 3(or 4 would be even better)wheeler. the bike for my sone and the other is for me or my wife. So we can try to keep up with the motorized 3yr old. This would be a blast to actually build up with him. Oh, you could combine this with the Star Wars Speeder bike with the as the power source and controls.
i am speechless. ❤ such a cool idea! i hope the front wheel is angled enough. also, bikes (in reality) have that bend in the fork for a reason. perhaps you could offset the 3651 with a 1cm offset to the front? that would make a hige improvement on going a straight line i guess. 😅
For the front light, a 1x1 stud in the centre of the 2x2 round plate, clicked into the 2x1 brick with hole might look better, and be "legal", if that's a look you're worried about. It is legal to stick a stud in a technic hole. But only one stud, not two. 👍
I don't know polylite PLA, but I would never risk such a massive undertaking with PLA. Anything that I used PLA for that is under constant load eventually sags. Not to say that all it takes a bit of sun and a hot day for the thing to behave like molten chocolate. Curious about how it performs in such large scale. Amazing project by the way.
@@MattDenton I did, pretty cool bybthe way.. That flex that you mentioned there is a bit related to what I am talking about. If there is anywhere in the kart that would put some constant flex in any part, that flex tend to expand over time and will not return to the original form and that is what I observed on PLAs in general, specially the + versions of it that make it more flexible (as a trade off to make PLA tougher). PLA does not return to the original form after being flexed for enough time. If the temperature is higher (like in a hot day, under the sun or near the motor) the effect is more prominent. Obviously with much bigger parts than I ever printed it may take more time and/or tension for it to cause noticeable deformation. I'd still not risk using PLA, knowing about this shortcoming. ABS, for example, does not share the same problem and I use it whenever I know temperature can go up or the part will be under continuous load. I am curious how the kart will withstand the test of time and usage. It has the downside of releasing VoCs (Estirene) during print, and may require enclosure / PEI print bed. But cost wise is similar if not cheaper than PLA. I am not sure about PETG in respect to deformation over time, but it is resistant to higher temperatures although a slightly more flexible (but for this size of parts, I don't think it matters).
This is Epic - and its only 1/2 done dang, oh if you hadnt told me that the boat stud part was 3D printed from pcbway id of thought it was injection molded for sure - how did they get it so clear right, wow its magic i tell ya magic. Keep up the amazing work im waiting anxiously for the next part of the build. Take Care
Are you selling this? I absolutely NEED one!! Selling the files? I've never 3d printed anything but I'll buy whatever I need to make this bike! Amazing work!!
I like the term "illegal lego part". Be careful not to be pulled over with the lego police, you might have a lego penalty! Great video as always, I can't wait to see it fully done
Finished your move yet? I presume this is some of the “fun stuff” you had planned? I still think an Upscaled Ideas Wall-e build would be a great idea! 😂
The black inserts to make it look like the handle bar is a proper Lego build 👏👏👏 You really need to be a Lego fanboy and a perfectionist to worry about that. Well done.
Oh thanks 🙏
That lense from pcbway 😮 beautiful
The best!
Makes me wish there was someone making LEGO-style headlights for actual cars!
@@Thinginator This could be you!
It would not be hard to light it up. It might not be a proper headlight but would give it the look.
@@MattDentondo you sell you brick cad files ?
I love all the extra engineering you put into these large Lego builds.
I was five years old when they released 8810, and I'm pretty sure it was the first Technic model I was given, a year or two later
Sweet!!

That light is fantastic! I need to come up with a project just to have one printed. 🤔
Yeah it’s a stunning print!
My cool uncle is back to making lego stuff!
You are the the cool uncle I never had. Love the videos. Keep it up, Matt.
Wow, thanks!
That pcbway lens is absolutely spectacular. Definitely going to have to get something made up to try it out.
It really is!

Absolutely brilliant! And very jealous!
would love to see a model that was street legal. this is dope
now you need to c&c a full aluminum lego motorcycle
That transparant piece looks clearer that the milky stuff Lego is producing nowadays...
Very cool project once again!
It really is! Thanks 🙏
That is so very cool, great to see you at EMFCamp again :)
I admire your work. You're just a wizard 👏
Wow, thank you
This has inspired me to make an 8210 version. Any way to get a copy of the stl file for the pivot brick? It is the only piece I'm missing.
Fantastic work, the attention to detail is top notch
Thank you very much!
This is going to be epic!
Thanks 🙏
The hospital bill?
wow i can't believe that new headlight piece was 3d printed. absolutely beautiful.

Noted!
I love it. I have no other words than simple, I love it 🙂

I’m amazed such a clear part is possible to 3D print
Post processed
@@MattDenton I assumed so, but even the fact the internal structure is perfectly clear amazes me

Well I’m sponsored by PolyMaker for filament, but I will work out in KG what it is
Those 4 transparent rings in the lens ask for a proper function - turn 45 degrees, and you have a (literal) low/high beam and indicator lights
THIS! I fully support it and hope he sees and implements it!
Awesome!
any word from lego lawyers? lol
Nope
