• Build a 3D Printer Tha... - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
It got through airport security and fits great in an overhead bin.
This guy I wish he was around when I was a kid because he even now inspires me to start pursuing what was always a big interest to me..
Fan for life!
Imagine taking this to the airport and they are screaming "Is that a bomb maker!"
Soooo am I the only one wondering what great inventions could come from the combined minds of Ben Heck and Adam Savage?
No, Im to :)
We appreciate getting your advice on this! We love the heatbed because it works well.
I am a retired Industrial Electrician with a history of working on multi axis machining centers and robots. I am impressed!
I didn't have any other those cool tools for most of modding career, so now that I do I love using them and it is hard to go back. Keep in mind that you don't have to use a case just like the one I use - be creative and stuff your project in whatever you think would be cool.
We'll keep your input in mind - thanks for sharing!
I don't understand why you would want to spend $500+ on a printer when you could have something way better for a lot cheaper like this? This thing is awesome!
Jamie Gregory Because not everyone is an Engineer.
bkpickell if the whole purpose of having a 3d printer is to create/engineer things, then why would they want 3d printers if they aren engineers? They're just lazy in my opinion.
Glad you like it.
Now that is probably the most interesting printer anyone has made. How awesome is it that you could just fold it up and take it with you like it was a briefcase? Mind = blown!
This has got to be the most incredible thing I have ever seen on TH-cam ! so creative and printing the parts you need (LOVE IT)
You made my next endeavor.
Thanks for the project suggestion.
WOW you seriously are the Holy Grail of amazing portable devices!
"At least it's moving around. That's good. Nothing is on fire." Always a good sign lol
Thanks for the idea.
Beer placement is important to consider with any design!
Thanks!
you are genius man
LOL- really adds to the creative inspiration of 3D printing.
Love your printer Ben. There are lots of minor changes I would make to get that printer doing "high res" printing, but bravo on the portability piece. Very nice!
Very good build. I'm surprised you don't market that design. I bet someone would be interested in purchasing it.
This is the most awesome thing i've ever seen !
this was one of the coolest ben hacks back int he day- and now that we live in the gearbest
Really cool that you use my PCB heatbed :-) But if you want to print abs, you cant support the heatbed PCB with acrylic underneath :-(
We'll keep that in mind as we plan future episodes.
This is the coolest 3D printer I've seen yet!
Wow Ben should make these and sell them!! He's a genius
It did get through security! They didn't even swab it for explosives residue or whatever that is they do.
i want to see a helmet with a HUD that is hooked up to some gloves that recognizes what you are holding then showing you what it is on your HUD. example you pick up a pop can and it can tell you how much soda is left. and since this is a definite halo build, if you pick up a gun it will tell you what model of gun you are holding and how much ammo is left in the mag. i want to see how good you really are Ben. DO YOU EXCEPT THIS CHALLENGE?
That was so freaknig AWESOME!!! Ben's my idol. I now worship at the alter of Heckamania.
would be awesome if there was a step-by-step tutorial to build a 3d printer like this with directions where to buy parts that are needed ofcourse..
i agree. this is the coolest 3d printer. i want to build it!
This is one of the best documented folding printers I've seen: github.com/EmmanuelG/Foldarap . Not exactly the same, but similar idea.
You already know this, but, you're awesome! Some people just live, but you thrive!
It will fit in a overhead bin on an airplane very nicely, but my guess is short time after showing up on an airport with this briefcase you will be on an airplane down to Guantanamo Bay :)
Very talented you are indeed. I don't know who you are but you're that kinda guy that could spontaneously innovate very useful stuff, and get rich doing what you love doing :)
Great video btw.
Your a super cool dude! thank you for sharing your ideas and information to help budding hobbyist and electronic tinkerers.
Time mainly. It would be cool to build at least a part of it, just to see if it would work.
Seriously, it went through security with no problems - I was surprised by this though!
I can only imagine getting this through airport security for that overhead box XD
You work on the X-Y plane, Z axis gives you the layers. So moving forward/backward is the same as up/down on the 2D X-Y plane you would have on a paper graph. It is all a manner of perspective.
Ben you are a freaking genius
An idea... take 2 photographic equipment hard cases (ex., Xit XTHC40 or similar)with desired dimensions , cut matching openings in the bottoms to allow print bed pass-thru (could chamfer the opening corners for strength), then attach them bottom to bottom (pop rivets, or such). Easy peasy... ;-). Might have to extend "feet" a bit on standing edge to get lids to lie flat on "butterfly" style opening.
The cases are relatively inexpensive (all metal will be more, of course), and found on Amazon.
That's my plan, anyway...
This was just AWESOME! Totally entering to win!
I'd love to see someone try to get that device on an airplane. The looks on tsa would be awesome!
note: if you put a aluminum or other material build surface over the heated bed it will protect your pcb and spread the heat a little better.
This is quite good idea. Might try this
Excellent video. Well played sir.
I wish you were my neighbor Ben heck. Coolest guy ever!!!
Crazy that I've got a sub-$300 printer whirring next to me and there was almost no setup compared to when they were like in the video. So cool
that looks pretty stabil for mobile printer. well done !
"Fits in an overhead bin" I doubt they would even let you take that on an airplane, they would just think its a bomb.
I think you could also add a laptop case to it. You could also start a kick starter than find a manufacturing company and mass create this to sell on a website you could make for a market place and 3d model database.
Loawl he found space to put a thing to hold his beer! love that guy
Beautiful
Awesome build! Well done. Discovered your show with this episode and love it!
Mmmmmm... Real nice thinkings! Thumbs up boss!
That's innovating, to make something less bulky and more compatible! :)
Yup. That model was a pain to assemble. It was for Lost Pinball.
Way too cool Ben!!!
where did you get that glass plate? that is awesome.
So where can we find the blue prints to construct this gem? Also a resource list of what parts used would be very helpful. Or was this more for the plausibility rather than the masses reconstructing?
imagine u use a 3d printer to print a 3d printer lol
3d printer babies
A friend of mine knows a guy that actually done that! He was able to print a fully functional 3d printer (minus 1 or 2 little circuit boards, just because it's not very easy printing circuit boards with a 3d printer!) using a larger scaled version of itself.
It's called a reprap
That's the whole concept of the Rep Rap check reprap.org/wiki/RepRap
3d printception
THAT'S AMAZING
how have i known about this channel for so long???!!!! sweet.
Wow nice job!
hey Ben,
I have a cheap 3d printer, but I have problems with the driver. Can you make a video on how to modify it to make it programmable on a raspberry pi?
it would be awesome to use a raspberry pi and a small screen built inside so you always do have a computer with it though thats given all the software can run on arm linux lol
So awesome!
Cool idea
This guy needs more subscribers =D
Did you see the Kinect Glove we made?
Laser cutting the millimeters onto the bed is genius. I wonder why I never see that built in. lol
XL belts are not traditionally for linear motion. The latest fad is using GT2 belts; they in theory will help keep backlash to a minimum :)
impressive build. great idea! should be production lined and available to public. :)
Another idea! Because people have problem scanning shiny objects how about dipping them in water and then using some sort of mister that shoots out corn starch to coat them
Really good projects Ben and an awesome 3D Printer...!!!
I bet you could modify a Morgan and get a far better result. Smaller and easier to calibrate (less likely to get out of calibration during transit).
Ben, you're awesome. :)
dude that is awesome :D wish i was smart enough to build stuff like that :)
Thanks! What's the dimensional accuracy? And how do you know how much the x and z are moving as much as you think they are? Do they have sensors or just work off how many times the sprocket that drives the belts goes around.
Thanks for sharing. This is really kool stuff.
When's the commercial version ready?
thank you very much
My guess is it doesn't matter very much. In the U.S, there's a better selection of components with SAE threads, but metric parts are readily available, too. Outside the U.S, I'd guess that metric might be best.
GENIUS!!!!
Done and done. You can find more info on the single handed controllers at benheck.com.
since this is "portable" can you add this to that robot luggage, portable cnc router, that ruggedized PS3/360 combo, with the portable work bench, and the supper can cooler. Now that'll be a challenge for you
Very nice sir.
At the end of the video (I did not watch it all) I was shocked at the printer folding into a briefcase. OMG
hey Ben just some info for you to share you already know that imperal thread are rea as (number of teeth - per - inch e.g. ) 15 TPI
however metric is read a little differnt its read as metric bolt size 10mm AKA M10 then tread pitch 1 or 1.5 so in metric for e.g. 10 x 0.5 / 10 x 1 is classed as a fine thread where as 10 x 1.5 /10 x 2 is a corse thread so 10x2 is 10mm bolt with a thread pitch of 2mm per thread.
the thread pitch is how wide the thread is from 1 peak to the next
have fun CYA
This guy would be the best dad ever
You can shake the drawings of this portable 3d printer?
Let's make it bigger!!
amazing so can you say what the printer resolution is? and how about you print a clear model using your printer
Garsh damn, I'm impressed
Amazing work! Does it work with Mac Computers?
That's so cool and I wanna build one. Would the plans be available at some point?
i don't always under stand Ben heck but when i do he say "Hello i am Ben heck"
in engineering terms, an area is depicted by the use of mm^2, for ben's purpose, he would have been better to go 200^2mm to depict that he meant it as a single measurement. or just use notation and go 40x10^3
How much would this cost?
If you use threaded rods for movement is it easier on yourself to use metric threaded rods or imperial threaded rods?
Very nice build, did the airport security not have a problem with it being brought on the plane?
