I make stuff. And along the way, I make far more than my fair share of mistakes. Like, if there was a pizza made of mistakes, and we all chipped in for it, I would eat all of my pieces and at least half of your pieces of that mistake pizza.
But mistakes are how we learn things. And, in that previous example, they're also pizza. So. Two things.

Yep. "Professional maker." Sounds good. It's not my title, but it sounds good.

DIY Ghostbusters Ghost Trap for my kids

My Ghostbusters addicted kids needed a ghost trap. Have you looked at prices for toy ghost traps lately? Because they're insane, if you can even find one. So I designed one, using an electronics project box as the main body, and using a servo driven by a Raspberry Pi Pico to open and close the doors. It's pretty awesome.

It’s $9… how cheap can you be?
Look at your face. You know I spell “loser”… Kay-e-en.
It’s fine.
Your hair looks ridiculous.
I’m totally gonna tell your boss you’d do this for free.
Great video! Sub'd!
Right!!!!
SAME. When my son was a baby and little his mom seemed annoyed I was buying him Kenner Ghostbusters. I told her "All my stuff is gone. I don't have it to pass down to him." And when I couldn't afford it, I made it.
Hey I am in a similar situation....my 4 YO is obsessed with Ghostbusters right now and I want to get him a trap but no way im paying those prices. I dont have access to a 3d printer...any way i could commission you for one of these?
im now your favorite viewer of all time.. lol
great job!
Great job I am going to try it where did you find the balls with bubbles in them thanks dack
I found them on Amazon. It's been a while now, so the listings I bought from are gone, but if you search "glass bubble ball" you'll find some results.
Instead of wled, it is better to use Corsair protocol
thanks bro you help me haLOT
Did you already figure it out? The motors you use run 10.000 rpm or more. Taming them is a problem. An asyntronic motor on mains runs only 3000 rpm. I think that is the main problem. Another problem is that the zone your magnetic field works is very small. Therefore you lose contact very easy: place your magnets further apart, bridge them under the magnets, and make the stirrer as long as the distance between the magnets. That make a very powerful magnetic circuit. Experiment until the stirrer wants to be exactly in the middle and goes back to the middle if you try to displace it. ( I would choose either rotor, or stirrer to have magnets, and the other one steel) Succes!
Create a fixed axis of rotation for the impeller.
I got my benchy to print nice an i got it to patina, its the vapor that causes the reaction, but it did take a week, thanks
Well, I'm glad to hear it. I gave up on it, as you might be able to tell, and nowadays I use Proto Pasta if I want the effect.
I experienced the same problem using different magnets. And I'm about to go crazy like you. The magnetic stir bar is acting weird.
Use a more powerful magnet with field lines that align with those of the magnet in the source. A larger bar magnet would do much better. With your four way blade, I would suggest alternating one for each blade.
I know bumpkis about dingus but what I DO know is you're very entertaining and interesting to watch. Enjoyed this very much. New sub!
Much appreciated!
Do you sell these??????????
I don't, sorry. The files are available free, though, and I'd definitely put the final difficulty at low to medium at worst.
7:18 messed the polarity, it has to be (+) ---- (--) at the top of the plate and the same config have to be on the magnetic rod. (Unless you've got a monopolar rod, which is really uncommon). But I am pretty sure you had aleady figured that out :) It suffers to hold to to the field of the rotor side magnet. the rod itself vibrates violently eben when idling. that means the moving magnetic field changes its character rapidly and breaks the flux while spinning. there must be something that interfers during the rotation. let's try to guess: high currents flowing through the motor coils or brushes give sparks which interfere the magnetic field contingency. Disclaimer: don't blame me in case my explanation sounds gibberish, I am not a professional scientist, just had some related eperiences a bit more than a decade ago. Since then I found and thoroughly studied ca 50 -ish patents of "stirring apparata", found a couple of monographic works on the topic and elaborated a couple of working configurations. First of all, the leading magnet (rotor side) usually is made of a medium strength magnets of the following forms: ring with continuous magnetic field or double rod (two directionally arranged ambipolar rods). A cpuple of terms to fast forward in problem exploration are: magnetic hysteresis and coercivity
Hi, I was just wondering what 3d printer you used as im looking for a good printer for printing action figures. Please could you let me know what one you use or if there is another one you suggest using. Thank you. Great short btw.
This one was printed on a Creality LD-002H. That one, I've no longer got, as I upgraded to the Creality Halot Lite. At work, though, I use the Elegoo Saturn 2, which has been flawless. It will largely come down to what size you want to print at, but that Saturn 2 is my current favorite.
@KenMakesMistakes Thank you so much. That is really helpful thanks
Where did you get the model btw I wanna print him too
Yeah, it's an awesome model. Link is in the description. Happy printing!
@@KenMakesMistakesthank you I didn’t know shorts have descriptions
No worries. Now that you mention it, if you asked me how to see a description on a short, I'd have to look it up or guess. Shorts are weird.
Downloadable model somewhere? I wanna shell it and add lights and maybe sound :)
Yep. Link is in the description.
Hy,What is the name of this shading,what do you mix it with? How to make it, what is the exact brand? Thank you very much. :)
This is just some cheap Apple Barrel acrylic paint that I haphazardly watered down. I couldn't tell you the exact ratio, because I was kind of making it up as I went. I wish I could give you better info.
@@KenMakesMistakes Fantastic, I've never seen anything like it before..so simple water and black paint, I thought it was some other special stuff, I'm a very beginner so it was strange for me, thanks for your answer..I'll try it :D
Great work, What settings did you use?
This has been a while since recording this video, so I don't recall what the settings were exactly, but I do know I didn't change anything. These were printed at the default settings. I want to say 10s first few layers and 3s per layer from there, but I can't say with certainty.
Too much resistance from the water in its static state, PTFE bar is round and can effectively slice through the water until the boundary layer affect catches up. You’re design is trying to push a lot more volume before the boundary layer has a chance to form
That sounds like a great explanation for what I'm seeing. I'm going to try a whole load of changes for my next version.
Does the badge work if you get pulled over? What do you say…I am on the job.
The badge confers no benefits, sadly. The badge is the benefit. "In lieu of a significant pay raise, would you accept a small metal shield and a little ceremony?"
@@KenMakesMistakes if I was a cop, I would let you go. You guys provide a good service
That looks like a completely different resin colour
I was running low and getting nervous, so I refilled in the middle of printing.
@@KenMakesMistakes ok. Do you know if they fixed the rebooting issue I'm reading that it's still problem
I haven't experienced it myself, so I can't say for sure. But, to be clear, I never did get bother to get firmware update to work, so I'm still running very early firmware. From what I've read, it seems there were some issues following a firmware update, possibly bugged firmware. It's possible that later units shipped with that bad firmware, also. Hard for me to say, since I'm apparently one of the lucky ones.
Do a subzero one pls
I like that idea. I might just try that.
@@KenMakesMistakes thanks
Sell these!
so in theory can you wash and sinter it? Then it would be a pure bronze piiece?
There are materials you can do that with, usually for resin printers, not filament. Integza has done videos using these materials. Unfortunately, this Gizmodorks stuff has such a low percentage of bronze in it that even if it was possible to do with filament prints, your part would shrink by 80-85%, or more likely just be a puddle.
no, there are filaments for this that contain mostly metal powder, however they are quite expensive and are extremely difficult to print with
This is an honest review, I fell for the cheap Amazon price but unfortunately this stuff is garbage. I’m throwing it out after a number of failed prints….
I've been 3d printing since 2015, and this is probably the first filament I've ever truly hated. Oh well.
so, its slow? How high can it print in one hour on average?
I print at .05mm layer height, and it exposes at 3 seconds per layer. Not counting the longer initial layer exposure time, that would make 60mm/hr in Z height. I don't have a great frame of reference for how that stacks up versus other machines, but as a printer with a mono LCD, it's no slower than other mono units. I haven't really tried to shorten my layer exposure time with different settings or resins, so I don't know what the "top speed" might be.
@@KenMakesMistakes Thank you on your detailed answer. Sounds OK to me , 60mm/hr is good (for me).
How much power would this thing use I wanna setup a spot in my storage unit I have a couple goalzero battery packs?
Sleeper Agent 32326 here, you rocked it! I've been a sleeper for over three years now and videos like this are heart warming. Keep it up! Culture lives on!
Thanks! I have been sleeper since August myself now, but I still remember this one fondly.
Awesome ! Am a big fan of Scorpion. Was that Resin or FDM?
That's resin. I want to say that was my second-ever resin print.
Have you tried finding a replacement fep? I can't find them anywhere.
I have. I don't remember exactly what brand I went with myself, but just about any FEP sheet for a 9" screen will work. Even if you did find one specifically for this printer, you'd still have to cut it after installation. Look for one for the Saturn 2, that's a popular printer with a similar size LCD.
Maybe use a case that's not metal?
What metal case? I'm confused.
Would be nice for you to explain how to level it :)
That's a great point. There's probably a lot I overlooked mentioning. This was my first hardware "first look" video, so I'll chalk that up as a learning opportunity.
I was also trying to work around the whole wash & cure station money grabs, but at this point, I've probably spent more on better alternatives that it'd become cheaper to just buy the damn station. It's probably down to how much hustle it's worth to whoever's fiddling with it. It'd all go so well if I was doing it back home in Shenzhen, China, where all these shit was made in the first place, where all the parts are like 90% cheaper, but right now I'm in UK so...gotta suck on those price tags for another year or two before I'm back in maker heaven, at least price wise.
Sometimes, the convenience is worth the price. There's lots of things I'm happy to iterate multiple times, but I don't necessarily want those DIY monstrosities to actually influence the workflow on one of my printers. But man, one day, I'd love to visit Shenzhen. It's actually insane how much stuff is made in such a small geographical area, and how cheap it can be gotten locally.
@@KenMakesMistakes Yeah gotta agree to that, sometimes a paid solution is just easier and better than homemade alternatives. But I still see great potential in homemade stirrer though, feels like there's much uncharted territories. If some day you do decide to plan a trip to Shenzhen don't forget to hit me up, sure can provide some rather local information on stuff like transports and places to visit.
totally thought you were going say "first print should be amazing!!! and now I present you super benchy!"
Not going to lie, it crossed my mind. Might've been worth it for the meme.
idot we dont need music talk!!!
5:33 Agrega algo de altura, o quita imanes Yo también crei que dando mas fuerza magnética o en su defecto teniendo lo mas cerca iba a tener mejro efecto pero no Porque a mi también me vibraba, y le alcé un poco y giro fácilmente O en su defecto retiré unos imanes que puse extra y asi la altura era menor
7:40 Por eso es que te sirve mejor, ya que el tornillo no genera fuerza en comparación a los imanes
Easy mechanical solution to the piston problem. Bicycle brake line.
That's really good. I think I'm rebuilding this thing fully mechanical. Thanks!
