Haha thank you!! 🤩

Thanks a lot for writing this kind comment, I appreciate it a lot! 😀✨

I actually really liked the object 😃

compared to the others, i think he got a pretty good object

@@nidhu595 I agree!

Thanks a lot! 🤗

Thanks!! 🤩

That would be cool!!

Yes!! You are right! 😉 I went for the affordable price so the design is a bit more accessible

I must admit, it doesn't always not work. I've used it succesfully in a number of projects, but the frustrating thing is that you cannot count on it at all. I bought mine at Gamma too, haha.

Good one! Though not that affordable 😫

Thank you! And great questions. The song is a custom song made and sung by me. I can send it to you if you like ;-) Now for your mechanical question, yes! Great suggestion, being able to tune the tension would be very nice. It wouldn't even be too difficult, we'd need an end stop for the plunger and a way to comfortably adjust the spring tension. If I would build this again, I would build it that way! :D

Thank you!! 😀 Ah yes, some actuator would be great for this, I too have been thinking about it. Thanks for your suggestion about the metronome.

Hey Screaming Frog, thanks for all your friendly comments on my videos. Hope you think of some cool concept, or just build what I showed in this video. All the best! ✨

Thanks for your kind comment. I'd love to see your vision come to live, update us when you built it! 😀✨

Hahahaha 😂 what do you recommend?

Thanks a lot! Yes, I think your suggestions would work perfectly!

@@JensMakerAdventures just had a thought for the next version too; UV filament...

@@bugjuicer Cool idea!!

Thanks for the advice! I might try those next time.

Thanks for the advice, I will remember that!

I've never noticed the message but it could be right there. Mostly I start prints remotely. Thanks for chiming in, I felt like the 2nd batch also was gritty. I guess you shouldn't order cheap bearings haha 😅

Thanks for the suggestion, will keep that in mind

Thanks!!

Thanks a lot!! 😃

Great idea! I think then it'd need a motor on every column and it would work!

@@JensMakerAdventures One motor, then just gear the top ones at subtly different ratios to one another, so they won't look in-sync.

@@Roobotics That is cool, but I think you'd have a complicated challenge in getting the couplings to be flexible

You know, I think that's a good suggestion! If the material properties were equal, would you prefer PLA given it's mostly made from non fossil sources?

@@JensMakerAdventures In principle, yes, it is more sustainable. If you want to use PLA, PLA+ is another option. It's much more robust, but still can't hold a candle to PETG in my opinion. You could also look into Thomas Sanlanderer's work on annealling PLA prints to increase inter-layer strength. Also though, in practice the lifecycle of PLA isn't completely clean, so you have to ask whether more discarded prints can be justified by the lower impact of the material itself. It's unfortunately a difficult calculation that we don't necessarily have the information to fully parse out without significant investigation. However, if you'll forgive me soapboxing a little bit, I'm not a fan of focusing on individual carbon footprint. It is a time-tested deflection tactic by the fossil fuel industry. The entire point of the "carbon footprint" campaign was for this purpose, and it was largely successful. Similar tactics have been used in the past to deflect all kinds of environmental issues on to ordinary people, like waste dumping in the 70s and 80s, or microplastics today. It exploits our immediacy bias to make us spend our energies on lifestyle changes and policing one another instead of organising action against the huge industries that railroad us into a destructive path regardless of our individual choices. It's a question of going for the root of the problem or the branches. All the individual consumption in the world won't make a significant difference if we don't stop the companies. They are the ones that make the consumption choices hard. If we were able to bring them to heel or abolish them entirely, we might be more empowered to make collective consumption choices that aren't mediated by entities that routinely hasten the apocalypse for slightly better return margins.

Also another option might be to get a metal insert the same size as the magnets and melt the hole out with a soldering iron, then remove it so you can insert the magnets in the hole. Then the ring surrounding the insert is also melted together, meaning it should be much stronger than the original layers. You obviously can't do this with the magnets because you'll demagnetise them, hence my suggestion about a hot insert. If you're quick, you could also utilise the softened hot plastic to accommodate the magnets without heating them up too much.

Hahaha this is a creative solution 😁

Interesting points. I think you are right about where the change should come from. Though what I notice is that governments should make businesses be more green, however we elect those governments. I vote for an environmental focused party but many people don't, because they can't or won't see the crisis in front of us and what it will cost long term. And then little happens, so I try to make small changes if I can make them easily 🤷 I have to say that it's sometimes difficult to watch where politics are going. I sometimes doubt if people vote for what they need, rather than want 😳 I should add that I'm certainly also a very imperfect person in a privileged position, so all should be taken with grains of salt

I tried grabbing a metal cabinet with no success. Maybe turning off the router would work, but then all the routers from my neighbors are still there. It surely doesn't seem like the product is meeting the promise

Bedankt voor je advies. Wat je zegt klopt, alleen is het op Aliexpress echt een jungle en zijn niet alle producten gelabeld zoals je zou hopen. Volgende keer zou ik duurdere lagers gebruiken van een degelijke leverancier, haha

Thanks for the advice!

The grease causes the bearings to stop very quickly, it is more useful for high torque applications. The lids on the bearings also cause more friction, they are only useful to keep dirt out which is not necessary for this application

I will make a pinned comment about personal protection equiment, because you are completely right. Ceramic bearings should be amazing, I bought one to test with. But their prices.... :/

Some roll better without lube I think. Fidget spinners are not lubed and some run very well, right?

Haha, why??

@JensMakerAdventures he's gonna spend another 10 years trying to make the marble machine look like this

Hahahaha

The problem was the grease. They would not freewheel or keep rolling freely at all with the original grease so the sculpture would not work

@@JensMakerAdventures ah, I understand. I guess you get what you pay for!

Beep, beep. Thanks for the feedback.

@@JensMakerAdventures Love your response to the troll ♥

Hey Gijs, this is a wonderful design tip!! I will definitely try this out on my next clamp fit! Thanks a bunch!

Or "crush-ribs"

That was a really clever idea! But the math was surprisingly tricky.

So if you get more small bearings it would oerform better than one large one? 🤔

@JensMakerAdventures yes if your looking for lower resistance, I made a bearing fidget spinner years ago, a large diameter bearing with a smaller one inside untill you get down to a 4mm OD bearing in the middle, and when spun it's the 2 smallest that spin the most and the big outer one that stops first, it has too much surface friction and pressure on the balls.

@@foosty6 That's super interesting. Thanks for sharing this info :)

Wow! Thank you so much for your donation and kind words!! You made my day, good sir! 😊

Interesting suggestion. I'll try this next time I want to do something like this with bearings, thanks!

Thanks, you are very right. I tried a few gloves and the stuff seeped right through. If I'd do the project again Id get better personal protection right from the start.

You are right! I'd do it differently if I knew what I know now.

Yes! It is really nice!!!
