Not only that. But 3D printing will potentially save the Bionical fandom. Since all official sets have been discontinued and any still left for sale on the Internet are only becoming more expensive over time, thus making it harder for new or returning fans from joining. But this problem could all be fixed if 3D printing becomes better and more accessible, as it would allow new people to have an easier way to enjoy all past Bionicle waves and more.
@@JettKuso I like the idea of 3-D printing parts for Bionicle. It’s just what I don’t like is the plastic the 3-D printer uses, it just doesn’t feel like the smooth plastic on Legos that we’re used to.
@@nmr7203 not necessarily g1 hit that perfect blend of mature and suitable for young audiences with marketing that attracted the youth at the time.

If I could draw, I'd try to make a Webtoon where the characters could go from a humanoid state to their bionic state. I'd also change the story slightly, but I would try to keep the overall story. (E.g.: Keep some characters dead, and have the Makuta species be more diverse in personality) I'd love to hear your ideas.
this is so cool!! i used to be such a purist about lego ("lego should only go with lego" - and granted, there's still plenty of space for "here's this cool thing that i made within the limits of stuff officially produced by a brand"), but this is such a strong showcase to the contrary. there's just as much creativity to be found in modding as there is in "purism". another great video jett!!
Ahhh thank you so much!! I’m really glad people find this as interesting as I do, despite it being a ‘sponsored’ thing. I’m just glad they gave me so much creative freedom.
Having a 3D printer makes Bionicle mainly mask making/mocs all the better. While I don’t have a Bambu printer to do the multi colour stuff with extra time and filimant swapping I’ve been able to make toa rohaga and bohroks
Yo, you should 100% start selling your parts. I don't care that this is a sponsored ad by Bambu and all that. It would give some of us the ability to assist you more directly than just UA-cam revenue and Patreon. I want to be able to pick a part out of my big blue bin of unsorted parts one day and say "Yeah that's the one that Jett made for me."
The thumbnail told me everything and I was not disappointed. The proportions of those final Toa Mata builds were amazing! You must've gone through some hefty trial and error to get the ball sockets just right. Great effort!
3d printing single handedly keeps the bionicle side of things alive, hell Lego constraction in general i've been slowly but surely trying to find parts and sets i've wanted for years, but i also just wanna make my own stuff and 3d printing will be a life saver... once i can actually afford a printer
Back in the day when they held a Mask of Light giveaway on Toonami, a kid in my class said he won it. He kept refusing to bring it to school to prove it, even said he lost it under his bed somewhere. If that happened now, he'd have been able to print one to bring in. And yeah, obviously he lied, lol. Camera phones are such a privilege for today's youth. Back then, this was big stuff
This reminds me I need to make a video on all the life size bionicle weapons Ive made over the year lmaoo Having a 3d printer is the most powerful feeling
@@JettKuso my turaga onewa hammer was printed in 8 parts but I managed to get them all on the same plate, the glow in the dark kanoka disk was a different story tho 😰
3D printing honestly is incredible. You can fulfill your every childhood dream about toys that never existed but you wanted them to exist. Like .... Solid color Darkus singleheaded Hydranoid?
Since we bought a 3d printer, we printed a lot of stuff like beyblades, crush gear, bdamans, and more! Bionicle is one that I totally forgot. Thanks for this vid! Lol
@@JettKuso what is that not the slang man my body form the 2000s can't keep up with these ima gonna stick with cool and awesome for now so gather around friends as watch another good video from the amazing jett kuso toa of balls and cats
Always cool to see more people get into 3d printing, especially the model designing aspect. I love 3d printing but have always struggled with almost anything related to ball joints unfortunately.
Wow this is just amazing! Recently I’ve also started making my own Lego pieces with 3d printing and it opened up so many opportunities for me. I was absolutely blown away by the multicolor printer since mine can only do one color at a time. Recently I’ve also made some costum 3d printed lego bionicles that I’ve designed and ever since I’ve been so invested in what the community does with 3d printing and lego. It’s almost like a sub fandom in the fandom!
I'll say my absolute favorite aspect of 3d printing that I see no one talking about is that WE CAN MAKE LIFE SIZED WEARABLE BIONICLE MASKS, I don't understand why people don't talk about it.
My selfmoc started out with a custom 3d printed mask, until I got my hands on my fav official Kanohi, the noble Ruru in dark grey. Still, the 3d printed one remains, a nice, unique piece of my collection ^^
I've always worried that Bionicle would become an irrelevant fandom once the pieces aged too much and began deteriorating too much, but 3d printing has the potential to keep the fandom alive for much longer
I'm was planning to design variois fan made baku gears inspired in anime or comic stuff. My first prototype is the Sacred Shield from Tate no Yuusha. But the project is in standby.
Modeling and printing your own parts is such a rabbit hole to fall down. One day your futzing with the sizing of pieces to get The tolerances right, and the next you're modeling wholely original parts from scratch because lego doesn't give you the look you want.
As a former AutoCAD student who just got into _BIONICLE_ thanks to your _BIONICLE_ Retrospective series, just seeing fans make their own pieces for their creations is just beautiful. It's a defiant shower of creativity after The LEGO Group had long retired their CCBS molds and parts, and a sheer testament to the appeal of building and customizing an action figure using LEGO parts to achieve a character design far greater than one could get from Minifigures. I also wonder, would a _Ninjago_ retrospective be something you'd do at one point? I genuinely want to know what the 2011-2012 Spinjitzu Spinners Game was like from a _Beyblade_ fan, what made it unique in both its flaws and strengths, and the whole LEGO aspect of customizing a spinner to one's liking. Because as someone who never grew up with _BIONICLE,_ you did a fantastic job at explaining what made the toys so good without nostalgia goggles! (I do know that Tommy Andreasen pitched the whole gimmick of Spinjitzu as a means to play out battles with Minifigures, which is an interesting parallel to how the _BIONICLE_ Toa figures were large enough to fit Technic elements in them for battle play.)
I was sure someone would misspell my pseudo XD (It’s actually S-C-M-DEX) But let's forget this little detail, your prints are absolutely amazing! The multicolor print give a really nice look to Karzahni’s masks as well as the Kolhii shield. I'll have to get myself a machine like this in the future. You are right. There is so many things to print to add to your moc or just for the pleasure of having a well-designed piece. This is the strength of the Bionicle community: its devotion and creativity. I suggest you to try the kanohi Kraavohkii made by Rothanak or Nikila’s mask by KhingK or Bionicle Tohunga by Circuitmanufacture. They're good vintages, and I think they'll look wonderful with that kind of print.
WAH I've typed your name wrong and then retyped it so many times while making this! Hopefully the pronunciation is amicable lol. Thanks for commenting, your work is fantastic and I'm glad to have the seal of approval!
I made a Lego Bakugan Mechtavius Destroyer with four transformable robots: Coredegon (tank) (Ventus) (torso) Exostriker (car) (Subterra) (right leg) Mandibor (jet) (Aquos) (left leg) Slycerak (helicopter) (Pyrus) (arms) All of this only from sets 42116, 42117, 42132, 42133, 42147, 42148 and 42163. These are the most recent $10 Technic sets. The models can be combined into a big robot. I combined Lego, Bakugan and Transformers: your favorite toys. The attributes may be wrong, but I just had those parts and went off a random image.
I remember the first time hearing about 3d printable bionicle pieces when g2 ended and fans were recreating the mask of ultimate power and now it’s super accessible
Heres a tip for those lose joints, put some super glue around the joint, wait like 2 seconds, then move the joints, the glue will spread and dry, and itll allow for a sturdier hold and firm joints!
currently going thru a Toy Production course and doing 3D printing then mold casting this def gave me an idea to remake hard to find bionicles for my childhood collection 👀
this is great idea for a video and I hope that bambo sponsor your next one also because you are doing great job selling the printers I so want to get one.
I love this video and I love 3d printing. I definitely want to get into it, I just don’t have enough room or money. I would love to see you make 3d printed transformers figures and accessories.
i am hoping my father buy me a 3D Printer cuz i dont have to buy tons of LEGO Bionicle sets when 3D printer exist, you could re-create them with existing pieces (Not kanohis) but still, 3D Prinster is really cool
PLEASE do Beyblade next. Like, in general, actually. I wanna hear you talk about Beyblades :) Who doesn't like cool spinning toys, after all? Besides, 3D printing has given us new tips/bits for Beyblades, either some specialized geared ones to make the metal fight beys fit in the X system or insane gimmicky stuff. It's all wonderful to see.
Noticed another thing! Malum is a latin word that, depending in the pronounciation, can mean "evil" or "apple". You have helped Malum achieve his True Form
3D printing is definitely the best thing to happen to a lot of hobbiest fandoms imo. Manufacturing your own parts is just awesome

Yes. We need a 3rd reboot (hopefully one that gets a tv series to keep up with its complex lore)

Could this lead to a video about 3D printed backugan ??? please :]
Bro that would be cool but like, bakugan are very complicated in the inside due to all the springs n stuff so they probably wouldn't open
There are 3D printable Bakugan on Thingiverse! Haven’t attempted them myself, though

Oh, hey! I know that MOCist! Even met him irl a few times a Brickfair. One of our best, I say!
