Oh wow super digging the track light idea! Also if anyone is on the fence about taking there fusion 360 class I would highly recommend it I learned about so many different tools that I wasn’t even using and has saved me a bunch of time.
Another thing that I'd had to those 3D printed parts is a short, yet strong spring. When the cable is thight, the spring is compressed, the mechanism is locked. When the cable goes limp, the spring pushes the two halves apart, so the contraption can rotate freely.
Hey bob I just had surgery and I love watching your videos especially since I love diy projects and finished side tables recently. You have lifted my spirits and taken my mind off of my pain. Thx
What a great project! I feel like this would be an awesome thing for content creators as well - have track around the pieces of equipment being used, then on the arm have the camera attached so you can film from nearly any angle!
I think if you are gonna do that you might wanna fashion it either in this way or like the cranes in the docks with a supporting member being the Y axis (front/ back) and the main member being the side. but maybe fashion it so it uses strings to move on some direction to make it more "stable" and not move too much
Make a fixture that mounts solidly behind the light with a handle and grip sticking out below. Use a third joint (wrist) on the top of the fixture to connect to the lower arm. That way you could position the light and arms with one hand. Since you are using tension on the cable to lock the system, ball and socket joints would be more positionable.
Proud of you Bob ! Good job jumping outside your comfortable zone to try something new. It helps to remind us that we need to do the same thing in our projects.
As soon as he started to drill the hole for the lever I immediately thought to my self "Under a load from the spring its just going to break off" and about 3 minutes later he mentioned it broke. I'm glad i'm able to think ahead on somethings like this but as always awesome video Bob!!! Keep it up!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has said this, but I really enjoy watching you go through the project, your breaking it down to manageable fixes and just finding out how to do stuff. I found this channel a while back and always look forward to watching your uploads. Thanks guys =D
I couldn’t put my thumb on what that mechanism reminded me of when I first watched this, but it just hit me. Push puppet toys! Was that your inspiration for it? Either way, it’s great, and something I’ll keep in the back of my head.
Hey, Im a manual machinist of many years. I'm sure others have mentioned this as well, but when your'e machining aluminum, you can speed up the RPM's on that Bridgeport. Steel requires slower RPM's but aluminum, you can speed that bad boy up! Also, avoid climb cutting at all costs.
That trolley has me thinking about using it for AC extension cords and vacuum/dust extraction hoses. Overhead vs underfoot, less trip hazards and up and out of the way.
Yes, yes, yes! After dealing once again today with one of the dust extraction hoses on my table saw blocking the outfeed, I wholeheartedly agree. I'm going to put up a track with some generic hooks on movable, adjustable arms like Bob's that can hold stuff up out of the way, anywhere over the saw and workbench. And of course there's no reason not to have a light, too. There's plenty of room on the track. Like the man says, if it gives you ideas, he's done his job. Thanks Bob. You are my favorite maker on UA-cam.
This is a fine project, daunting and difficult, learning from mistakes. One of the best you’ve made so far. On the other hand, you can’t beat the characteristics of light. You can shed it, throw it at a piece. The best solution would probably to a some led tubes on the ceiling but he, that ain’t sexy!
One of my next few projects for my channel is an articulating arm for my camera to make filming in the workshop significantly easier. The trolley system you put on the joist is exactly what I need to complete the project! Thanks for the inspiration! Also, your channel is what inspired me to start my own :)
Awesome project! It has a lot of challenges regarding stability, glad to see you meet them head on! Thanks for sharing, always inspiring to watch the problem solving process.
Check out the 'noga' mounts, they are used primarily for test indicators, they use a wedge system, not that hard to reproduce for your light arm 👍🏼 I have one and will never look back!
Great idea with using the cable tension to keep the arms locked in position, if you ever wanted to have a breaking system for the trolley, you could always put a T-shirt nut (or similar) within the unused slot in the bottom of the extrusion and use that as your cable end stop.
Cool idea and build. Just an idea... In the rotating joints, what's about a wave spring washer and a thrust bearing. When under tension the spring is compressed and the pieces lock together. When you release the tension the springs push the pieces apart and the thrust bearing can rotate freely.
Yes, I need something vaguely like this, only a few orders of magnitude simpler. I need to be able to aim some light at work pieces on my bench, and have them stay there. But I don't need all those bells and whistles (the whole tighten/loosen bit). But until I saw this video, I didn't know I could use something like this. Thanks!
Brilliant build, Bob! One upgrade I might suggest towards the "Braking" of the track. if you could put the anchor for the tension up inside the bottom track of the extrusion, maybe with some small washers, that would add an extra point of tension to brake the trolley where it's positioned.
This is a very nice solution to a major problem. Everyone always has too little light. But if you can run a steel cable through the connections, it should also work with a copper cable !!
That Bridgeport Milling Machine and paste wax brings back memories. My first job was at my Grandpa's wood and metal pattern shop. One of my duties was to clean and wax his 2 Bridgeports. Its amazing how much easier it is to use and to clean one of those when it's been waxed. Love your videos. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Next build take the power lead up inside the arms, simply place holes with small grommets at the ends to lead it out and make the bend. Will look neater. Plus with the spring drill and tap a small hole in the centre, so that you place a capscrew in there to provide a good lower mounting for the spring, so that it will not pop out even if you have the cable snap.
Has anyone else already suggested using a bike break leaver instead? That way you get something less bulky and also allows for cable tension management. Plus as every one else is commenting that power cable not being routed smashesmd my heart to peaces. Aside that, great project, I'm really excited for version 2.
Very cool project. I'm not sure if the fixed detents on the joint are necessary though. If you had a piece of material in the center along with a locking nut, you could dial in the friction to keep the light in place, but still move it to where it's needed. Wouldn't hurt to also be able to run the wires for the light inside the arm for a cleaner look.
I have a shop that suffers from poor lighting. Since I have several work stations for a forge, grinding area, paint booth, and general work bench, this is ideal! I'd love to see a video if you do a Mark II version.
Ha... Just getting to release a video on a led light stand/arm as well... With a different style arm!! I got inspired off Adam Savages video!!! Great job Bob!!! Very clever!!!
It's really nice to see you combine all of those different manufacturing methods. I mean there was woodworking, milling, 3d-printing, laser cutting and a lot of manual work in such a seemingly simple project. Also, did you add end stops to the aluminium rail, so the trolley doesn't accidentally slide off? Keep up the awesome work! Best regards, Paul
Awesome video! I built a house and now I'm working inside. The next step is the garage. I bought some lights but didn't quite find the best spots to put them on the ceiling in order to have enough light where I need it. While not having to make an adjustable arm for them, you just gave me the obvious idea of putting them on rails so I can move them easily, just with a simple stick. Thanks a lot! I'd maybe have a small question: what would be a simple way of cable management for the moving part? You didn't really show it on this video
Great idea and beautiful craftmanship! I would add a little something to protect the printed joint from dust since it's greased (like a rubber seal of some sort)
Hi Bob! you have an amazing channel, and I enjoy it a lot. This build was particularly important to me as I have envisioned a similar idea (adjustable light source), but while not based on an arm it was more based on a circular track (maybe a lazy susan?) so that you can rotate it from the base. thank you for the great ideas!
Really clever design! We have an indicator dial arm that operates on the same principle. But logically if you scale it up to this scale you need those indents to make clever use of force transfer.
I had a similar idea to this for a long time but I wanted to design the joints like noga style machinist indicator holders. With that style you would have an 2 actual ball joints, one near the ceiling and one by the light. Everything would lock in place when you turn a knob on the middle joint which would lock it down and force 2 inner rods/pipes into the 2 ball joints locking them down.
Dude... you have a Bridgeport. Nice work to begin figuring it out. Put bolt on and knob on the trolley to firm it up to the extruded aluminum. that way when you bump the light it won't move.
80/20 extrusion (80/20 is product name) has a teflon slide bearing that works well on their extruded square tubing and would eliminate the rollers. The tension wire could lock the slide. Next time put the power wire inside too. Could it be your tension wire? Could your tension wire and metal tube carry the power? Very clever design here.
Awesome! I must have missed the part where you explained why the electrical cable isn't running through the pipe. I'm guessing it was because you didn't think about it until after you printed the connectors, so you didn't have the clearances you needed to run both cables through the hole. Hope you work out that issue for version 2.0.
You could have the cable terminate at the top to a plate wedged/spring tensioned, against the extruded aluminum. When you pulled the the handle it would also loosen the trolley to slide and sure up the connection a bit.
If you want ideas for a ceiling mounted work light google hospital inspection lights. They are very high quality and robust and would be great machining projects.
I would have just used some large lockline hoses. I don't know whether it was the camera or some slow motion edit, but it looks like you could be running the mill about 3 times faster than you were, especially in aluminum, even faster in wood. I've used cable tension devices like that and they never keep enough to firmly lock things in place. I hope you have more success with that.
Pretty fantastic work, Bob! Looks and works great! 😃 The only suggestion I would give is to pass the power wires inside the tubes as well. 😉 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
For your track use a bicycle brake after all you've used a bike cable. You could have used the forks as well , head stock,main bar to seat. Cut off front down tube. so manyways to do it. I like it.
Should make that light to where it has track all around the shop space. Plus a moving tool wall that slides open or hinges open to reveals another wall of tools or another side
I wod suggest adding the stop. If your like me you will be using the light and be not thinking about the end of the track. Just focused on the project. Until the light comes off in your hand, and you curse at it.
Hi Bob, what material did you print the 3d part out of? PETG? ABS? What's the life expectancy of this part as it's under some stresses? Or do you find your 3D parts last a few years
Love this type of thing - I made a whole camera gantry system for my shop - while I initially found it awesome, it ended up being more of a problem than a solution and have since taken it down. Love the idea for a light or microphone boom though. Btw - low key amazing shot of the 3D printer time lapse.
Great vid! I'm thinking lost pla aluminium ball joints with this wire locking system maybe? Also, being impractical, but having the tensioner automated when you touch the light would be cool.
This might just be the perfect solution to setting up my video lights and mic over my desk. Would be good to maybe run the power inside the tube as well and have the power mounted on the trolley part at the top somehow. Really great idea, thank you
Oh also one thing I just thought of which is just cosmetic reason but the bottom part of the pole that connects to the aluminum block you made for the handle I noticed since its smaller now that it leaves a half circle gaps on each side. To make that part look more nice you may want to 3d print some half moon plugs for it for both sides. Just my two cents :)
Great project and very creative solution! Could you have modeled the whole system around the lights above a dentist’s chair? Seems like a great starting point.
Nice one Bob. As always inspirational. Nice 3d printed parts. I've just started looking at Fusion 360, quite a steep learning curve. Considering getting a 3d printer, would be a great tool for my woodworking shop.
Love the idea! This has nothing to do with the video but you and Alec Steele need to collaborate on a project when covid ends if it ever does! Anyway I’m going to “Steele” this idea.
