I've been a subscriber for years, and I don't 3d print or 3d model. I just find your process fascinating and inspiring. I pick up inspiration everywhere, and I know you know what I mean... So I love both formats- the deep dive is wonderful, and the quick multishare is wonderful too!
I think the cool prints you showed us today are either new features like metal prints, or the continuation of earlier explorations like the foldable polyhedron. I still like to see your whole creation process in a longer video, it illustrates your problem solving method and shows your creativity in progress. Both formats are nice, but maybe keep the “cool prints” videos for extensions to a project you’ve previously explored. Either way, I think we will all be eager to watch your inspiring videos. Keep making!
Japan has really cool manhole covers and the designs vary in different areas! When I went to Tokyo for the first time I was so surprised because I’ve never seen any “beautiful” manhole covers and they’re definitely something I won’t forget
Manhole covers are pretty interesting in the aspect of design. They can have different patterns and shapes along with keeping the function that a manhole can not fall into the hole it is built for.
Tokyu Hands! I love that place! Whenever I get a change to go to the city, I'm trying to get to one of their many shops. Those place are wonderfully eclectic. Ten meters away from where we got our wedding invitations, they're selling pine cones and scraps of exotic woods and 20 different types of plastic sheeting for modeling. Yeah, it's nuts. Go there! As for videos: This is great. But I like the longer builds too. Hey, change it up. Do what you like. It's all good!
You didn't mention it, but I recognized that particular design you showcased as being the Osaka City manhole cover. Since your polyhedron faces have holes, you could easily lace them together with some monofilament to get that "even pressure" and pull them together.
I noticed your polyhedron seems to have opposing poles pieces. What I was thinking is that if you added extrusions that form a cylinder when you fold them then you could add a tube to connect two pole pieces to add some rigidity and create a place to put a light. Also, if you added a groove about the formed cylinder then a rubber band in that groove could be another way to add rigidity to make it easier to assemble.
Really cool! Can't wait to try out that multi-color-up-the-bowden technique. At the moment I'm trying to puzzle out a way to do easy filament splicing so I can do longer multi-color prints. Got a few different sizes of copper pipe to play with :-)
I’ve got a few ideas: A ball with a special hole for your finger, using a ball bearing type system to spin Designs based on ancient civilizations, maybe a manhole cover based on each one? A small doll house, printed in one piece
It occurs to me that you could connect the final few faces of your polyhedron together by threading string between two adjacent pieces, and pulling it tight to close them together until the snaps operate.
If you want more Japanese man hole covers. I visited Tokyo and Kyoto, and took pictures of some if you want copies. I looked weird for taking the pictures, but I love them.
Did you try inflating a balloon and keeping the knot go through a hole in the polyhedra? Seems like it would give you the reverse force necessary to assemble the piece, then you could pop it and retrieve the pieces through the hole.
Tokyu Hands is the craziest store I've ever been in. It's almost like they don't have online shopping in Japan and have to make ridiculous stores to make up for it.
That was indeed a cool print and it would make an awesome light, three or four done as pendant lights would be psychedelic. Shapeways, wow, they're pricy. Would love to buy a sphereicon but my pennies are going, believe it or not, into tribute tattoos of my parents. 😊 keep on keeping on! Oh, never steal a manhole (yeah, that sounds dirty) they're crazy heavy. Trivia time, manholes are round because that shape cannot fall into the hole it covers like square or rectangular covers can.
Check out Raubdruckerin. They're a design collective who uses manhole covers and other pre-existing civil designs to block print on clothing and accessories.
Heh Heh... Heh Heh... You said manhole (this must be read in Beavis’ voice). Seriously though that’s quite beautiful. Nicely done. Devin, what would you consider the best 3D printer for a hobbyist. One that is large enough to be useful over time without needing to be replaced as the learning curve is reached. From what I’ve seen from my “UA-cam “ research the Creality 3D Ender seems like a solid choice.
The last pice of the ball should be held together with magnets so when you want to make it a light you can easily get access to it and change the bulb when it burns out a
Hi, Devin! Please, make a semi-transparent lamp shade. I mean with a transparent (maybe with a color) plastic. How it will be looking and how it will affect on lighting. Preferably with a PETG :)
I dunno man, it looks amazing, and I appreciate the art and effort that went into designing the manhole covers, but I'm really missng the sharp defined edges seen on the real cast-iron covers.. Maybe invest in one of those pantographs with a dremel on one end, .025 magnification (1/8th), so you can use a scaled up 3dprint and a metal blank for some insane detail, or even better, build one yourself, and show us how you did it. Heck, that might be a good idea to further 3dprinting application in any field, not just art. Any surface finish that is lost by conventional 3dprinting can be recovered by printing bigger and scaling back down. And the repeatability would be very good too! Cheers!
You should try making a bigger globe out of the 60 sided polyhedron, using multiple colours of filament to print water, land, desert, mountainous regions etc. on the surface.
Dammit, you should have made this video last year. I've been to Japan last year in late March, beginning of April. I went to Daiso and a paper/craft/art store I can't remember the name of, both about 6 stories high :)) . But I didn't know about Tokyo Hands :(
I've got a challenge for you if you wish to accept- 3D printed electronic potentiometers! * 5v 10k~ veritable resistors that are used to make control knobs for electronic interments and machines!
Do you remember a show called beyblade? It’s kinda similar to your galactops except for the fact that they battle with them. I’m curious to know how you would adapt the concept of beyblade
Just have a question Do you have rights to that manhole cover design? I mean someone designed it, and so did you avquired those rights to sell that design?
you can see his slow progression into hating the word manhole the longer the video goes on

I find this comment inspiraring
@@getgamingchris Awww, thank you! I'm having a difficult day, and your comment made my day brighter!
this guy is probably one of the reasons i even got myself a 3D printer in first place.
Laynie Fingers a little late, but hope your day was better!
@@SuperGirl9796 Thank you so much! I've had a run of really great days, and your comment just made today even brighter! 💙
Seattle has done amazing hole covers based on native American Art. Very amazing.
I'm about to give my opinion so be warned there are strong words ahead.
This series is pretty cool

I love your content Devon! I've used tons of your techniques or recreated your ideas at my high school. Thanks for sharing your creativity!

hey Devin, it is not a manhole this size, too small. Probably a mousehole. A tiny mouse coming out of the ground. nice work
It would cover my man hole 😳
Please continue the Manhole Project! The designs are so cool!
I nailed at guessing your idea to make that a lamp!

How you keep beeing that creative, I'm impressed.
I'm looking forward to the rest of this series. Keep it up
Thanks👍
I know a few trans guys who call their you-know-what a manhole XD
if it's 10/10 it's a golden manhole
You’re welcome!
Hi!! Transboy here!! I hate it!! Thank you!! :)
Adrian Matthew Rai XD XD XD
I’m on many trans guy Facebook groups and have not seen anyone call it a manhole😂
Thats so funny, ive been taking pictures of manholes for years now. They always have the coolest patterns
Samuel Schuur I hope you get his consent first
Wow 😮 you are SOO good at making things and lol 😂 “every time I say manhole it sounds bad”
I have such a dirty mind i was lmao everytime he said manhole
Well now I cant think of it any other way thank yoy
Wow now this is so epic that it actually notified me of one of my subscriptions uploading when they uploaded it.

Honestly man, any video from you is a good vid, in depth is sweet but these spontaneous ones are fun too! so just do what make you happy :)
The snub polyhedron is awesome! Reminds me of a less dystopian blade runner prop or something :D Kinda futuristic and oriental.

Try to make a slingo of the dog from toystory
Magnets. Your snaps can also use magnets. :)
I like the process of making the things
please keep this serie going!!!!
Was re-watching this vid, I still have a galactop on my desk lol
Downtown Seattle has some matching pretty manhole covers, you might look up that design for printing too.
the last 3d print would make an interesting pendant lamp shade, you could change the patterns modify the light

I love your polydooda. I’ve got to print myself one of those.
New Orleans has great manhole covers, if you continue that series.
You should really make another globe with that last print!

I really liked this video, both formats you post are great, so don't worry about wich type is the best
I think its a good idea to diversify and have some indepth videos and overall ones like this.
I hear through the grapevine that you are cool guy from “cool guy has a chill day”
You should totally make that last one a disco ball!
I’ve got a few ideas:
A ball with a special hole for your finger, using a ball bearing type system to spin
Designs based on ancient civilizations, maybe a manhole cover based on each one?
A small doll house, printed in one piece
since you had a non-solid surface on the large polyhedron, you should use string to cinch the pieces into place on the final section.
You could use an M2 allen key to support the part when you are pushing bits together in that last model.
It occurs to me that you could connect the final few faces of your polyhedron together by threading string between two adjacent pieces, and pulling it tight to close them together until the snaps operate.
You did check out New Orleans manhole covers if you haven't already! They're also really beautiful and a lot of design goes into them.
If you want more Japanese man hole covers. I visited Tokyo and Kyoto, and took pictures of some if you want copies. I looked weird for taking the pictures, but I love them.
We need a second iteration. NOW!!!!

Yup the Ender 3 is good, and if you can afford one of the CR-10 models, even better ;)
Make Anything Thanks. The CR-10 would probably be the right choice for the ability to make larger prints instead of needing to piece a part together.
Tokyu Hands is great! I wish there were more locations in tokyo tho, some of them are a pain to get to :(
I done some loss pla casting ... you should try that ;)

Check out the Manhole cover in Kellog, Idaho. It states “The Center of the Universe”.
Nice models, thanks for sharing :-)
you should use magnets to make the snaps for the light fixtures so you don’t have to apply force😁
While I was watching this I felt like I was skiing
Totally psychedelic cool. Amazing mind
folding polyhedra oh yes!
Could you provide some more details about the snap connectors for the polyhedra?
I dunno man, it looks amazing, and I appreciate the art and effort that went into designing the manhole covers, but I'm really missng the sharp defined edges seen on the real cast-iron covers..
Maybe invest in one of those pantographs with a dremel on one end, .025 magnification (1/8th), so you can use a scaled up 3dprint and a metal blank for some insane detail, or even better, build one yourself, and show us how you did it.

Hey, :) Thx.
So what's the skinny on metal 3D printing? I'm intrigued.
LEDs, slow turn motor, viola disco type ball
yes, make more!
You should try making a bigger globe out of the 60 sided polyhedron, using multiple colours of filament to print water, land, desert, mountainous regions etc. on the surface.
Gosh that would be awesome, but also a gnarly endeavor! But I'll try to keep learning and working towards something like that :)

That bronze is gonna stink up your hands every time you play with it!
