I just LOVE the combination of LEGO and 3D-Printing. It feels so natural, every modern kid with a dad smart enough could take this route!
all silliness aside, the technique of spinning the motor module for a test of symmetry is actually a really effective technique even though its so simple.
Make a lego nuclear reactor
16:53 this is not an illegal building technique, as it doesn't put a lot of stress on the pieces making it break.
"babe wake up, the lego electric guy uploaded"
30 minutes of engineering and knowledge about legos, Nice.
hey if you want MORE POWER, try adding coils on both sides of the rotors, should double it
07:27 Don't use metal to get print jobs off the plate.... Been there, done that. Print a pla scraper or use a plastic spatula. And don't forget, sometimes you got to clean that nozzle to prevent clogging or partial clogging. Once in a blue moon you also have to replace the lubrication in the extruder.
I really wanna see him use ferrous coil cores and grease on all the moving parts, perhaps glue the frame together and use the sand paper trick to balance the magnet wheel out.
Yo, that second saw blade was pushing everything out instead of cutting, mostly just rubbing. You've got an angled away cutting edge.
25:52 You underestimate how much power a real circular saw has
Would love for you to make a Linear Synchronous Motor for Lego roller coasters. You can put the magnet on the cart and the coils in between the cross-ties of the track!
For the saw to be more efficient and reduce friction with what is being cut, the teeth should protrude slightly beyond the plane of the blade, so that the resulting cut is slightly wider than the width of the blade. This will prevent the material being cut from acting as a brake on the saw.
If you want more power and speed have a look at Halbach Arrays: A Halbach array is a specific arrangement of magnets where the poles alternate in a particular way, resulting in one side having a very strong magnetic field and the opposite side having a weak field. This unique arrangement creates a concentrated magnetic field in a specific region
The way you explain everything is so clear and fun. Great job :hand-orange-covering-eyes:
Man I love this guy’s vids
>takes as much precautions as possible for flying magnets >puts fingers right next to saw blade while its spinning >stops sawblade with fingers >always puts hands in plane of rotation of the flywheel and sawblade Do you hate your fingers ? (Im being silly, good video, i just thought this was funny, i know its not that risky)
It would be very interesting to see you create lego transmissions and hook them up to the motors in this video
Consider designing the rotor and add a few layers above and below the magnet holes and inserting the magnets after pausing the print at 50 percent print then resuming it to secure the magnets into the print. Would like to see a video with a worry-free design such as that. Stay safe!
