This was great! I did some work on making 3d printed mouths on my last short, but the ideas here of doing stuff like wheels and doors is great! I've got blender down but I'll definitely need to learn Fusion360 now, thanks ever so much for the great video!
You are ahead of me, then! Still struggling to learn Blender. There's a TH-cam channel called Craft Logic which posts some good stuff on Blender for 3D printing.
That’s awesome Simon.. really helpful .. fascinating look at 3D printing and mention of the 3D design - fusion - software was it / perhaps a video on that next would be helpful .. at this point feels just a little bit intimidating to me cause I know nothing of it at this stage.. loved all your 3D props you made.. the doors and furniture really cool.. and the wheels.. really clever.. defo lots of advantages to 3D printing.. I’m curious about the motorised version of the winder .. will you be doing a video on that later after you assemble it.. I was using my 3D printed green winder all last week to do a - bouncing ball - animation lesson assignment.. it was fun .. showed a mate tonight and he commented that he thought the winder looked like a character the way it was moving around the ball.. the bracket thing you showed for one of the winders to tie it down to the set.. I don’t think I had one of them off you .. the part that grips around the screws.. .. I’d love to get into exploring all this 3D stuff but it would take me away from learning the animation itself.. maybe at some future time soon I will take the plunge into this world.. it is interesting..
wait til the metal printers become affordable for everyone we will print whole armatures on them, I've just bought an Elegoo Mars mostly for miniatures but also stop motion armatures and props, because it is resin it shouldn't have those lines but may be more expensive than filament, I may also have a go at face swapping animation. Definitely downloading that pen rack and keen to try do a track now hadn't even thought of that it's going to use up some resin though
@@oddplanetstudios6172 yeah it does warhammer scale pretty well so I think faces should be easy, I love 3D printers but I can't deal with the patterns the filament ones leave, I think I paid $30 for 500ml resin so that isn't ideal for lots of big things I think, may end up learning the filament one at the library for the less detailed stuff
@@hughmcgown I have seen videos on setting the layer heights at something like 0.08mm to get the lines as minimal as possble, but they are still there and most visible on a gradient. Perhaps a resin printer will be my next venture!
Hi Louis. Unfortunately not. Several people have tried it, and the plastics used for 3D printing just won't take the tension needed for joints. For replacement faces you would need a resin printer rather than a filament one. I am however making a motion control rig using mostly 3D printed parts and this is going well. I have done a very short video showing some recent developments.
Thanks for the video.

I will be doing a video on the motorised winder, once I have it assembled and working. Watch this space!
@@oddplanetstudios6172 cool..

I will be very interested to hear how good the results are from the Elegoo for replacement faces, because that might be a game changer. Good luck!

interesting stuff man..
would it be possible to print an armature?

@@oddplanetstudios6172 thank you very much for your detailed answer!
