The fact that you can see the layer lines clearly enough that it looks as if the metal was 3D printed directly just speaks of the incredible quality of the cast
As an aircraft mechanic I have a problem with this concept. I love that it actually functions to some degree, but it doesn't actually perform the function as a bolt as far as I can tell. In effect the nut kind of "falls" through the threads, and it doesn't appear to be capable of actually holding anything together, not to mention the inherent sensitivity to vibration. Practical problems aside, fantastic work!
Maybe as a pair they are useless but you could in theory save material by making those parts and pairing them with one directional counterparts of either orientation. As a bonus the parts would always fit and you wouldn't have to worry about picking the right pair.
if you look carefully, he makes 3 Nuts, one that screws clockwise, one that screws counterclockwise, and a third that screws in either direction. the former two would work just as well as a normal bolt and nut.
@@TheBadAssNinjaDude Good point, I missed the two unidirectional nuts. Unfortunately it still ends up with the same effect of either being a conventional nut or not holding things together. There is the perk of being able to use left hand or right hand thread nuts though!
I have to agree with you, the layer lines look cool. The weekend is always great, as I get to watch some of my favorite casters, such as you, BigStackD, ArtbyAdrock, and VOG, just to name a few. Another great casting.
Nicely done! A double-threaded bolt is one of those random things I always wondered about as a kid, but haven't given a thought to in about 20 years and never expected to actually see. As a sidenote, it's not a real project unless you're borrowing various kitchen items.
I agree that layer lines add a nice texture to a lot of print related stuff, but the layer lines are weak points structurally in 3d printed structures. Parts often break along the layers like the grain of wood. Not really an issue with a cast like this because those layer lines are just surface textures and not part of the structure. I've seen some stuff where people experiment with different 3d printing methods designed to enhance structural strength with angled layers and such.
@@ovrsurge4689 I've observed that a lot of tools seem to be taken up across different disciplines/trades. Almost as if a great new tool for one trade has been invented but in reality that tool is old new for the trade it came from. It seems obvious once we know. I find the slumping comment interesting for similar reasons. Having extensive experience in construction, 10 years or so in various types of concrete. The slump of the concrete was always critical to the work and result yet I'd not considered the art of mastering it. It was just something we did but the more technical the job the more critical every element of it became. Not many things I appreciate more than the mastery of any skill or craft. Definitely something to always aspire to. Always something to learn, often not from where we'd expect.
Wow your casting methods seem way better than most of the stuff you see in TH-cam. It may be a lot of work but I think the results speak for themselves
I used to work at an investment casting titanium foundry - we had to wear gloves pouring the wax patterns, cause the oil from our fingerprints would show up in the metal casting afterwards. They can pick up crazy details
Absolutely amazing! Might I suggest, in future, using vibration during the ceramic dipping, perhaps on future models with fine details? Applying a "neck massager" to that sprue funnel would certainly dislodge any errant air bubbles Source: Former foundryman
They’re the lines from the printing process. If you don’t paint, fill them in or sand everything smooth, you can still see them after the pouring. If you can zoom in on the. Lack mold or the bronze finished piece you can see them.
At first I was confused why there would be layer lines in a metal casting then I remembered you casted it from the 3d printed model. That's a damn good cast!
Just discovering these vids in 2023! Really captivating, and reminded me of shop class in junior high where I had a somewhat visionary teacher that hooked us all in. Thanks!

Wow. I never would've believed you could cast something that finely with insanely minimal hand work as far as casting goes. Great job dude.also impressed that the tolerance on each cast was so perfect that even the different shrinkage rates between the two metals didn't matter
you could make a vice like this, but since each jaw would always stay on it's according half of the main shaft, it makes no sense to make the shaft double-side threaded. just do one half of it left-sided and the other half right-sided.
the one-way threaded nuts tighten just fine on the two-way bolt, but you're right, you can't really put much if any torque on a two-way nut threaded onto a two-way bolt. They're not really meant to be used together.
@@raelik777 do you think you could jam two dual threaded nuts together with any amount of torque, or would it be very location dependent on the dual threaded bolt? Also, how well do you think the dual threaded nut would work on, say, a threaded rod that reverses thread direction in the middle. Would it make the transition or jam up?
@@TheAruruu They would work fine on jammed on a single-threaded bolt, but not at all on a dual-threaded bolt. On a threaded rod that reverses direction in the middle, they wouldn't get past the reversal, because they'd still be engaged with the un-reversed threads. The fact that they're dual-threaded wouldn't make any difference. Now, if the bottom half of the bolt became dual threaded, then yeah, it would be able to be threaded down onto that section, where you could then thread the nut in either direction, though it would be janky as usual.
It would be location dependent whether or not you can screw the two-way nut onto the two-way bolt. If the position of the nut is just right you would have enough thread engaged at one time to get it to hold tight. In other places the nut just jumps over the tooth before getting tight enough to hold in place.
I accidently made one of these on a CNC one day when there was a M04 in my program's thread finish pass instead of an M03. (M03 is spindle forward, M04 is spindle reverse)
@@Man_Emperor_of_Mankind We use G32s for threading in 95% of our programs, it has its useful quirks for our applications. We have a separate, optional rethread for taking a finish pass which is ordinarily block deleted. It was in the optional rethread where the error was. I'm neither the programmer, nor do I even know if you can use a canned cycle for a g32, I've never seen it done. Our CAD software writes it out longhand, which, as far as I know, is the only way to use a G32. I may just be in an absolute paradise of blissful ignorance though.
If people comment about the appearance of these items, then they are crazy. The amount of time and work that goes into something like this is insane.

A rope mounted on a reel goes through the pulley and we use the rope to pull in overhead powerlines from pole to pole. The pulley goes back and forth and keeps the rope evenly wound up on the reel. The slots criss crossing each other are razor sharp
WoW you're a real Artisan, maybe I didn't catch it, I didn't catch I don't think you mentioned how many hours it took, seeing how good it ended up must have been very satisfying. I agree about the layer lines, it just adds to the detail and texture, good choice to leave them.
When you started playing around with spreading the nuts to turn the bolt at 1:47, ideas started popping into my head for a super-low profile scissor jack... Hmmmmmmmmm...
@@benjaminchen4367 only one threaded nut on a typical scissor jack and the other end won't move linearly (can only rotate) so that friction keeps the bolt from spinning when under weight. A double threaded bolt could be shorter and get the double the vertical lift per rotation but it would take twice as much torque and some kind of brake or lock would need to be added to keep it from spinning freely under weight.
I want some of those! With my lavk of skill, id burn myself or garage down if i attempted something like that. Great skill to have. Great job, thanks for sharing
I wonder if they are good as an actual bolt. when i say that I mean do they tighten like a bolt would, or does the fact that it works in both directions keep it from reliabll tightening.
the thread pitch is too high to really tighten them without anything else to hold the thing in place, but the pitch could probably just get reduced to make them work like an actual screw, if it doesnt ruin the strengh of the thread too much

WoW you're a real Artisan, maybe I didn't catch it, I didn't catch I don't think you mentioned how many hours it took, seeing how good it ended up must have been very satisfying. I agree about the layer lines, it just adds to the detail and texture, good choice to leave them.
"this scene is for my wife"
Yes king, cast away 😭♥️
I know the name's already set, but these babies look like Dragon Scales, so I think my pet name for them are Dragon Bolts
They look like pineapples for me so I’ll name them pineapple threads.
@@TacticalDimples yeah Pineple Threads sounds legit
I’m going with worthless waste of time & materials bolt
@@patrickancona1193 Funny, that's the name I was going to pick for you! 🤔
Pineapple Dragons or Dragon Pineapples
Nice work. I took Metal shop in High School and was able to do a few casting projects but takes it to new level.
I can’t be the only one who thinks his voice sounds like a “how it’s made” narrator
It would be neat to see that bolt with some compression and tensile loading and see how it performs
Yes ♥️ this idea can't wait to find out the end result I have a question any pointers for someone who's done a few castings already❔✌
Thank you! My advise is to stay positive. You will have failures but stay positive and learn from them.
When you started playing around with spreading the nuts to turn the bolt at 1:47, ideas started popping into my head for a super-low profile scissor jack... Hmmmmmmmmm...
Awesome idea
How would it be different than a scissor jack with a normal bolt? Seems like it would be worse
@@benjaminchen4367 and harder to replace.
Hehehe spreading the nuts
@@benjaminchen4367 only one threaded nut on a typical scissor jack and the other end won't move linearly (can only rotate) so that friction keeps the bolt from spinning when under weight. A double threaded bolt could be shorter and get the double the vertical lift per rotation but it would take twice as much torque and some kind of brake or lock would need to be added to keep it from spinning freely under weight.
I want some of those! With my lavk of skill, id burn myself or garage down if i attempted something like that. Great skill to have. Great job, thanks for sharing
But how good does it hold tension/torque when actually used to bolt something down?
I wonder if they are good as an actual bolt. when i say that I mean do they tighten like a bolt would, or does the fact that it works in both directions keep it from reliabll tightening.
the thread pitch is too high to really tighten them without anything else to hold the thing in place, but the pitch could probably just get reduced to make them work like an actual screw, if it doesnt ruin the strengh of the thread too much
Ceramic with lost PLA/wax castings always give the best results. I used to create my own Warhammer figurines with that =)
This may make people laugh, but I got a massive "How it's made" vibe from this, especially at the end with the reveal
I think “layer lines” are part of the beauty of a 3D printed piece
I feel the same about books printed on a dot matrix printer
@@trejkaz I feel the same about books painstakingly copied into clay tablets in cuneiform
I seen two of your bi directional nuts n bolts, very gratifying to watch and pleasing. I love the craftsmanship.
