• The Truth Conveyor UNI...
This project has tested my engineering and design skills on so many different levels. For starters, this is the largest physical sculpture I have made to date. I also challenged myself to go beyond 3D printing, incorporating laser cut acrylic and wood, some AI generated art, as well as a new (to me) epoxy coating that gives 3d prints a smooth, finished appearance.
There are 5 months of design work, thousands of hours of 3d printing, and an undisclosed amount of money sunk into this project (it’s Canadian dollars, so it doesn’t count, right?)
With 2 fully functional conveyor belts, a 2 degree of freedom robot arm, 2 microcontrollers, some blood, some sweat, and I hate to admit it, a couple of tears, I am proud to present to you what I am officially calling ‘The Truth Conveyor’
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I have enjoyed making it. That’s a lie, it was a grind. But worth it. - Наука та технологія
Incredible. I would never had the patience or brain to bring something like this to life. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg you guys are such similar UA-camrs! I love the 3d printing community and it’s great to see small channels grow ❤
Really appreciate it! Of course, been following your work since the beginning, always amazing 👊🙌
:O
You guys should Collab!!❤
JBV creative + unnecessary inventions = amazing Collab-you should collab together🤝🤝🤝
Amazing. I really love the idea behind this one, and it's so cool to finally see the entire machine working.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching :)
hi jkbrickworks
I can see this being a part of some modern art exhibition
That would be pretty cool!
I can totally see a life size version taking an art prize
@@Mr-J... na a banana someone left out will get the award
I wonder if it would work better if you added a slight curve to the wall/sign at the top. It would be cool to see this in a museum!
I was thinking the same thing. Would be pretty cute to see in a museum. Or at an airport.

@@DeamonSun Yes, right near the escalator
Very cool idea and execution! A couple of things: I think it looks best entirely monochrome. And the clogging issue at the wall might be solved by changing the cross-section of the wall into a slight curve or chevron, with its farthest protrusion toward the Buddies. A wedge shape might add a further layer of meaning, or clarify the existing implications of two slides.
I feel like the clogging at the wall/billboard is part of the piece... If only they would look up!!
Have been following this project since the beginning, amazing work. As a 3D printing and robotics enthusiast this is inspiring.
same
Appreciate it!! Thank you 🙏
Me as well
look past spelling and grammer what do you see?
Anyone can be a critic
So cool to see the final result!
What do you usually do with your finished sculptures?
Thank you! Mostly they end up in my parents house 😂
You should offer them to galleries or museums for temporary display, you might end up with it being worth a fortune like that sculpture in Beverly Hills Cop.
My ex had one of those pink ones in the drawer by the bed.
Haha I thought the same exact thing. Was like, "man JBV Creative REALLY branched out from making clocks." 😂
@@awdturbopowah773 not that much, it only changed by one letter
😅
Jay 🤔 I have followed you for, OMG, years now. I always get excited when you do something new and then you just go to that one step further that we all know has come to pass. So now it seems you have done it! There are no words for me to use or say anymore. Now the only thing I can do is grin from ear to ear and shake my head in amazement. Please keep me grinning!
I know of the old studio but you now have what looks like a great new studio with all kinds new stuff I have never seen in action. A video of a tour, perhaps?
With all of the time with you from you being and seeing what you’re becoming, truly from the bottom of my heart, congratulations, continue with that journey of a mind that can’t stop creating works of art and constantly improving on that creation. Don’t know you other than these videos but hope you become that man that one day, I can say, I knew him when….
Only the best for you!! Oh, by the way I happen to see some daisies on the wall. 😂 Just like the key chain I have! 😂
Amazing results again! Always so impressed by your 3D modeling abilities in how you split up your models to be sized for the print bed.
Thanks Tyler! Definitely one of the hardest parts of the whole process!
Wow! This is my favorite creation of yours since its an impressive piece of engineering as well as a meaningful work of art. Do you have any plans to show this off at a gallery?
Thanks Dan! My favourite so far as well. I want to (it cant live in my house) but I don’t have any specific plans as of yet. Going to work on it!
Love the process and the subtle jokes! This is such an interesting sculpture and so relevant. You have immense patience. Great work!!
Thanks Shruthi! I actually have terrible patience haha I just had more desire to make this happen than to give up 😀

This was absolutely amazing keep doing what you’re doing this was a long time coming and I am glad it worked out
Thanks Koda! Will do 🙂
Glad to see you finish this project!! Turned out great. It’s amazing how almost all of this was 3D printed. That definitely took a huge amount of time to 3D model every single one of the parts
Thank you! Took about 5 months 😬😬
Dude this is by far my favorite of your videos yet!! Great design, amazing build, and hilarious commentary during the process!!
Thanks James! Definitely my favourite so far as well- appreciate you watching!

I've been following along since the beginning of this project. I'm pretty sure that it was a short of your very first prototypes with buddy that made me subscribe. Your creativity, ingenuity and problem solving skills are something to be admired, and an inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Appreciate you sticking with me in this one!
This is an awesome project! The amount of time, patience and creativity invested in this piece of art is just insane. It looks awesome, it works and it has a meaning which is very representative these days! This project and generally all of your projects are a pleasure to watch! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Vladimir! Definitely tested my patience a few times haha. Will do 👊
Soooooooo happy to finally see this project at the finish line! Very satisfying- great job seeing it through!
Thanks Brandon! Glad it lived up to the expectations
I am amazed by this and can't believe the effort put in! Love it man, keep it up! I would love to see a video how you combine laser cut parts with 3d printed parts.
Thanks Jessica! I can definitely incorporate some more of that information in future videos. Cheers!
Amazing job you did there, I've been watching this project since the beginning, and the end result baffled me. Hats down to you and your talent.
Thanks Rami! Appreciate you following along!
I just wanted to leave a note that admires the effort and iteration that was required to accomplish this build. Hope to collaborate with you one day.
Thanks Emi! Appreciate you appreciating the effort 👊
Always so impressed with the build quality and final product. Really creative sculpture!
Thanks Ty!!
You could put a little LED light on each of the phones which would make it look so cool in the dark
He could also make an angle at the wall that they are falling so that they can go at the slides faster
That would be fun
Brilliant !! To me the video began to show even higher thoughtfulness after 9 mins. The elevating mechanism, that orientation mechanism. And at last, the stopping & waiting of lower conveyor belt. At the end the original idea is represented so well, & the brilliance of the contraption comes altogether as a surprise. Well Done !!
I really enjoyed watching the journey of design and building this project!
Thanks for all this :D
Thanks for following along 🙏🙏🙏
How does this guy only have 300k subs...... Awesome insight into design and the creative process!!
3 2 1 K GO!
My theory of why some UA-camrs have less subs than they should is because of the attention economy. Once you think of subscribers as a currency, which like all currencies has limited supply and high demand, it all starts to makes sense.
Thanks Matt! Appreciate it
Love seeing it all come together in one video. Incredible design and execution man!
Thanks Trav 👊👊
The billboard for the wall! 😂
The details take it over the top!
Amazing project! It is an astonishing work and I really loved watching you put this much effort into it. Hopefully it will motivate other people to start and get some things done (instead of watching the phone)! I will definitely remember the Buddy slowly moving when noticing that I procrastinate too much :D
Hahah happy to have made something that can inspire you to do stuff! I definitely fall victim to procrastination as well. Thanks for watching!
Bloody hell, you are determined, I'll give you that! I would have given up almost immediately after the idea popped into my head.
ive been here since the start, even if it was just seeing your videos by chance on shorts. i've always loved ur vids, and idk when i started watching you, but i think it was around christmas of 2021. i loved watching you make this project. in fact, you're part of the reason i bought a printer for myself!
Appreciate the ongoing support! Glad I was able to inspire you 😀
I love the idea behind the buddy model and entire machine. I've been seeing progress videos here and there having only guesses to what they're designed that way for and what they're looking at. The entire machine and the reasoning behind it is a piece of art.
Thank you! Glad you can appreciate it!
Make an hour-long screen-saver type of video of this!
I actually have it filmed! Going to post it on my other channel in the next couple of days :)
nice, it really came out well. It's nice to see all the work come together
Thanks for following along!
Great video! I was glued to my screen the whole time!
Thanks Travis! Appreciate you watching
Your design aesthetic is really beautiful. Incredible work!
Thank you!!
Been waiting for so long to see it done! Love it. Great job!!! Get some sleep!
Thanks Andy! I will now sleep for a week 🥱🥱
its finally done! congratulations it turned out great!
Finally 🥵🥵 thank you!
Beautiful man! Love the creativity and problem solving.
Thanks Stefan!
A great vid and fantastic build/sculpture. Love the chaotic sounds and movement that results before the slide. I hope Rogers or Bell buys it for a ton and puts it in their offices ;)
Thank you! That would be pretty cool, but we both know we can’t count on either of them 🤫
Amazing to finally see this come to completion. Such an awesome piece!
Thanks for following along! 👊👊👊
bro this is super creative!!!! I love it!!!
Thanks Carlos!
Amazing project!
Thank you!!
I really don't think this didn't change anything. At least for me it helped me reflect a bit on my own use of the phone and how it can add some FOMO and mental distraction.
The whole process was just a real pleasure to see, and it's great you poured an idea into this sculpture. In the end, that's what art is best for - expressing concepts, ideas and feelings, and that comes through great here!
That is my hope! Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Wow been waiting for this to finish AMAZING WORK MATE
Thanks Nathan!!!
This level of creativity is ANOTHER LEVEL!!!!!!
Just amazing! Absolute fun!
Thank you!!
Amazing effort. Perfect result 👍
Thanks Ibrahim!
Very cool, once again the esthetics with the white and transparent turn out so nice!
Thank you! Agreed, love the way it looks
So great to see it all come together, and 13 minutes doesn't give the whole process justice. I'm an engineer with a 3D printer and I learned a lot throughout that I hope to be able to use in my own projects. Thanks for sharing not just the finished result, but the whole process with us!
Thanks for watching! Glad you were able to gain something from the video 😀
This is unbelievable, well done, and good job seeing it through!
Thanks Ryan!
Incredible build, Jay! Really impressive and also a cool work of art.
Thank you sir!
Man this turned out so cool!! I feel inspired to design something to 3D print now 😅.
Thanks Ritchie! Doo it!
Awesome and hilarious. Well done! 😆
Thanks Christian!
Comment for the algorithm. But for real, its really nice to see someone so heated into something. There is a famous Czech movie Pelisky and there is a famous quote: so much work for such a silly thing. Well done sir.
Haha great quote, so true. Appreciate it
This would be a fascinating art installation at a museum. Of course, no phones allowed!
People at the museum recording on the phones would unknowingly be part of the exhibit!
This is amazing!
Would love a video about the 3D-printing process itself, how you think when designing for printing, how you print etc :)
I’ll try to incorporate some more of this in future videos! Thank you 👊👊
Literally amazing!!! I think that you need to add a bit of grip on the top conveyor, so you will accellerate the dropping of the puppets.
That could help!
been following this project, wonderful
Thank you! Appreciate you sticking with me
It’s amazing how an addiction can become an art piece, love your work keep it up!
Some of the most inspired art comes from addiction! Thank you
Bravo my man, well executed
Thanks Hassan!
Yessss it's finally finished! It looks and works awesome! Great job man. We all could learn to put our phones down more
Thanks Noah! Agreed (as I check my phone and reply to this comment)
Wow your so cool. Growing up I always dreamed of making cool stuff like that
🙏🙏🙏
I've sang the song so many time and thought it the reason for the land of discipline now a days but I never seen the video until you mentioned it and showed a clip!
Nice work on this
Thanks Adam!!
Congrats on your accomplishment!
Congratulations! Great job man!
Thank you!
Such a whimsical piece of engineering, great work.
Thanks Brian!
I love your dedication to projects
🙏🙏
So awesome!
Thanks Cameron!
That’s the dopest sculpture marble machine type shit I’ve ever seen great job
Been following this project since the original mini prototype, been cool to watch the progression. This should be the standard for modern art
Appreciate you following along!
Awesome work, it looks insanly good
Appreciate it!
This is madness, and it's awesome!
Haha it sure is! Thank you 👊👊👊
First time video watcher of yours! Awesome dude! Fellow Industrial designer. You are like a mad scientist in a sick lab! Nice work!
Thanks and welcome 🙏
This is amazing, and the ad on the wall was a nice touch 🤩
Thank you!!
Awesome project with a beautiful result :)
Thank youu!!
Nice work Jay!
Thank you 😊
I love this sculpture! Well done.
I also once again really liked following your progress on instagram
Thank you! And thanks for following along!
Awesome, been watching since the beginning. Great pay off
Thanks for following along 👊👊
Well done! Definitely a lot of time and thought put into it!
Thanks Heinrich! That is very accurate
Really great piece of sculpture, I love the use of technology to create art.
Thanks Ian!
Looks awesome 😎👌
Thanks Richard!
This is so cool. I've been watching the shorts, the final product is awesome. For the supports inside the belts, was the curved shape just for visuals or was that designed for some specific loading condition?
Thanks for following along! It was mainly for aesthetics haha
What a wonderful sculpture! I love your use of white on all the parts, the lack of color drives the eye to the flowing lines and the construction. I say redo the "Buddies" in white.
I built your wall clock, and I am still messing with the adjustments, but it is great. Your suggestion of the Esun White filament was perfect, my PrusaMk3 loves that stuff.
I actually really like the colour of the buddies! But i hear you!
I have been following along as well so inspiring
Appreciate you stick with me on this Carlos!
This is awesome, I'd love to build a conveyor like yours. Are there any files or sources of information you can recommend?
Turned out so cool!
Been fixed to my screen through the whole video 😉
Haha thanks Nadav! The irony…
Amazing sculpture!
🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video man!
Thank you!
I'm kind of irrationally mad at how slick both this design and the video production is.
I had no idea who you are yesterday, and just like that you're swinging for the big leagues of UA-cam engineering. Can't wait to go through the catalog and get caught up.
Appreciate it! Been at it for a long time now so it’s time to start swinging a little harder!
This is amazing! Truly a piece of art!
Thank you!!
I've been waiting for the final build
Thanks for sticking with me!
Love your overkills. keep 'em coming
Thank you! Will do
Woo, slide suggestion! Never be afraid to mention your ideas for a project!
It turned out great! Love the Fallout vibe of the sign too!
Yes! Great suggestion :) gave me a whole bunch of extra work though 😂
@@Engineezy Loved how you still figured out the primitive shape with cardboard too, heh heh. That "something out of thin air" feeling is definitely worth the time it takes to learn!
Thanks for your enthusiasm to keep this old spark lit and to brighten imaginations everywhere.
I really do need to buy a couple of clocks already, sorry eh.
Absolutely magnificent!! I love the thought behind it and the technology you used to make it!!!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!🎉
Thank you Carlo!!!

This whole project looks so cool ^^
Thanks JQ 🙏🙏
@@Engineezy np :D
Only just found your channel and got to say I love your work.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Well done looks amazing 👍✔️🔥💯
Thank you!!
Amazing work! Side note: this is eerily similar to a bad trip I once had, except there were no phones and Buddy was a nutcracker
😂😂😂 we’ve all been there in some form or another
