Pterotron - How we built a transforming robot pterodactyl Halloween costume
We teamed up with a bunch of friends and built an epic costume for a deserving Magic Wheelchair kiddo! Designed in SOLIDWORKS xDesign, and fabricated with 3D Printing, laser cutting, CNC routing, and hand crafting, this build had everyone losing their minds. An Arduino controlled stepper motor allows it to transform from a robot to a pterodactyl, while also providing lights, sounds, and a voice changing microphone!

Coaches give a lot of themselves to teach and inspire. We're saying a big thank you by making custom, DIY gifts. Modeled after a sporting team logo and designed to be a hanging plaque, this CNC cut plywood with vinyl stickers and 3d printed accessories is our way of awarding three hard working coaches with a trophy of their own. 20% Discount on SOLIDWORKS for Makers: www.solidworks.com/ournextm...

What paint do you use?
Nice! Try using primer instead of acetone. That way darker colors or any color for that matter won’t require multiple coats.
Me too. He’s probably done more for the hobby than any one single person.
Norm is a legend!
100% I wouldn't be the maker I am today if it weren't for how Norm inspired me!
Great work! What size of rivets did you use?
We're glad you like the build. We used 3/16" diameter by 13/16" length rivets for most of the build. We did use 15/16" long rivets in some locations where we had a thick stack of components to join. Here's a link to the 13/16" rivets (you can also find the longer ones on this site) www.diyroadcasesstore.com/6690-pop-rivet-3-8-1-2-wall/
Really helpful. Thanks.
So glad you liked it!
this is crazy 😂 unreal engineering
It was our most epic Magic Wheelchair build yet! We're glad you like it!
Awesome work guys!!
Thanks!!!
you guys are amazing and should get more subs and recognition... 😱❤️❤️❤️
Thanks! We agree :) Please share this video and more to others you think who may like this content. We are always looking to engage and inspire others to make cool stuff :)
Great feat guys. hats off !! 👏
Cheers! Thanks!
That's dope as hell. Lucky kid, wishing yall the best.
Thanks for the complement! He loved it and is showing it off any chance he gets.
YES!!!!! Another successful build for the record books!
Yay! Glad you were able to pitch in as well.
Awesome work by all of you! That is amazing!
Thanks! We are so proud of how it turned out!
That costume is so sick!!!
Thanks! It definitely turned quite a few heads when it transformed!
Wow!!! Talking about maximizing collaboration this is phenomenal.., Well, done Team
Thanks Joe! We had a great time working on this one for sure.
Awesome!
Thanks!
Tidy work, good design
Thanks so much. We're glad you liked it :)
Let me know when you're interested in selling those. I have a lot of interest in Facebook Delorean groups.
Wow just wowee ... I want to have a small version of something like this in a corner of the garden but know it needs to be custom made. Please would you guys come make one over here!? (I know... I can dream can't I??)
We're so glad you like the build and that it inspired you to think about a version of it that could work for your space. We wish you all the best as you start on the adventure of designing and building one!
How thin was the metal in your design? I'm asking cause I need some reference for a future project.
We tried two different thicknesses of 304 Stainless Steel. 0.030in (.8mm) as well as 0.048in (1.2mm). The thinner one was, of course, easier to bend and contoured better to the mold. We hope this helps with your project!
@ournextmake I see. Thanks for the reply.
I could imagine the efforts behind this 9 mints video kudos to ur persistence that you're still making
Thanks so much!
Awesome work guys!
Here i was just using card board, foam boards, and lots of hot glue for my wheel chair costumes for my son. Well done.
that’s so cool!
We LOVE Magic Wheelchair! ❤
Convenient!
DIY ? yeah right ! You guys just happened to have a room full of all the necessary tools to build your 'DIY' cabinet ! LOL !
Nice work, guys! What a great project and awesome use of both of your unique strongest skills! Turned out fantastic!!
Thanks so much! We both had a blast turning Andy's vision into reality!
I’m just to do this project for school it’s perfect
We're so glad you like it!
Biological geometry! Love it!
Nature Rocks!!!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! Incredible work, absolutely worth the time. I bet Andy's so happy with how it turned out! And I learned a new word - voronoi!
Voronoi for the win!!! I totally geeked out when Andy first introduced me to that word!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, start to finish. Nice work all around.
We're so glad you liked it! It was an awesome project to work on!
Nice work. Real cool use of tech to create a natural pattern.
I am so jealous I didn't think of anything cool for my storage! Great build and very inspirational. Now I need to figure out more fun shop infrastructure
The DeLorean build was super fun and we love that there's now a decorative element in the shop that helps organize our fasteners. We'd love to know if you come up with a fun project for your shop.
Awesome, new subscriber. Came here from Five Duck Studios, who gave you guys a shout-out. Glad I did, wow! Thanks.
We're so glad to have you as a subscriber! Welcome! ...and we're over the moon that Five Duck Studio give us a shout out. It was totally unexpected and we're flattered.
Thanks! I was looking to see if this was a possibility because I need to replace my old box spring, but don't have transportation to get rid of it. Having it collected costs a fortune. My city collects fabric for re-use once a month and some people collect scrap metal every once in a while. And I have several projects I can use the slats for. Perfect!
We're so glad you found this video to be helpful! Do let us know if you come up with an awesome project for the slats. We've been hanging onto ours for a bit and are just waiting for the right project to pop into our minds.
Thanks for the inspiration! Last year I also built myself two flight cases. One to transport an Amiga 500 and a desk riser (built from 2020 aluminum profiles and phenol resin plates), the other one as a pre-wired 10” 9U rack unit with an Intel NUC and a RPi with Retropie, networking and Blinkenlights in it. It has a mains connection, a junction box for two 10” rack mount powerstrips and a separate, hardwired 5V PSU for the blinkenlights and an LED light strip in there that is controlled by an ESP32, which also links up to the inbuilt WiFi network. That case I just need to put on a table, take off the front and back lids, set up the screen (stored in one of the lids), plug in power, pull out a mouse and keyboard and I am off to the races. I have a GL iNet router in there so I even have internet connectivity. Pretty neat if I say so myself. And it is evolving. It is an absolute beast in terms of weight. Same for the Amiga case. And the next time I build a case, I will make sure to get a pneumatic rivet gun. I am not going to torture myself like that again. 😅
We're glad you liked our build. Thanks for sharing the details of your flight cases. They both sound epic!
Very good
This is a really awesome build. I cannot calculate how many quarters I spent playing DigDug.
The end result is incredible! Really a family treasure.
Thanks so much! We're really happy with the result too, and everyone in the family loves it :)
I absolutely love this. And you really made use of every inch of it too. Fantastic job.
Thanks a bunch! We really tried to push ourselves to find every cubic inch we could use for storage :)
Awesome work!
You have to get approval from the post office ? 🤔
Nothing official... We just wanted to make sure they didn't have any concerns about the design before we set out making it.
love it!
Very cool way to honor our coaches! And nice coincidence that each coach had only 4 letters in their name. 👍😂
Yea, that made the vinyl work easier :)
Awesome gift!
Using screws instead of rivets would have solved the problems with the corners.
Hello sir, I have one model of car lense it's very complex shape need to make coliner in one surface please guide me 😢
Which printer do you use? I would have thought it's slow using a Bamboo printer
We used a Bambu P1S to print the tags. It took 23 min. 36 sec. to print a batch of 6 tags. If we printed the same geometry in a single color, it would have only taken 13 min. 13 sec. Printing in multi color added over 10 min. to swap the colors and print the intricate shapes.
Love this! I have customization automated for my Etsy store, ImperialGaming, so every custom order that comes in has the model instantly generated. If you’re a maker who wants your customization workflow automated hit me up!
