Fantastic design! I just bought your model on CGI Trader (for the arm), and am glad to see you have the model for the arm control there too. Well worth the price!

Omg. There I was watching T2 arm vids fascinated.. wondering with 3D tech could you make one that worked.. and the internet came through. You are a genius
This is possibly one of the greatest feats of skill I have ever seen.
I cannot believe how much effort has gone into every aspect of this project and the video..... astonishing.
Thank you!
@ 6:57 Just when you were thinking ..“Huh, it’s long to having to put it all together, test it, then take it all apart again for painting.” The guy only goes and makes a whole stop-motion segment of him putting it back together again! Flawless.
this almost 4yrs old video got recommended, watched it out of curiosity and i like it. rly good work, quite impressive tbh
Jesus! This guy must work in engineering or something. Can you imagine the time needed to develop these skills?
Man this is pure art, I love every second of this video and you helped me made my high school project, cause I'm on low budget and I had to made pistons... Thank you.
Amazing job, my friend. I think I'm actually more impressed with the video work than the model, which really says something!
The skill to make this is impressive enough but to animate the build process with sound effects.... I'm actually astonished. Hat off to you sir.
lordvore - And a bottle of the best for you kind sir! What an awesome comment!
I hope you have a fantastic day! & apologies for the delayed reply.
astounding job! even great video production.
Thank you! Cheers!
Imagen having a prosthetic arm looking like this
That looks like an amazing amount of work not to mention the animation and beautiful video editing. I wish I could give you a thousand thumbs up. Great job!!!
"now listen to me very carefully"
Brilliant video; the music, animations, editing and humour.
thank you
Imma be honest right now if I ever lost and arm i would have an advanced metal prosthetic arm but to customize at the T800 arm, epic video as well
Fantastic work!
BTW. In case you're interested, the paint they used for the endoskulls, for Terminator Salvation, is Alclad Chrome II (2). It looks like real chrome! I don't know if they used the same paints for the rest of the skeleton. I think they did variations of stainless steel and chrome looks, to prevent it looking too plastic. -Stan Winston School of Character Arts has a video showing how they painted the skulls. (It costs money, but it's worth it.)
I would love to buy this. Also would love to see the control system.
Stunning video!
I'm speechless. That was awesome.
Every comment, view and like I receive, helps me, so thank you!
Because of all the positive comments on this, version 2 is guaranteed.
Damn the attention to detail is astonishing and all the 3D video design, overlays, stop-motion animation, i had to remind myself that it is a youtube video............ seriously in awe......... very very well done
What a production. Awesome !!!
Dude. This video is incredibly impressive. Do you have any other channels?
Thanks! I don't ..At least not yet. But I have ideas.
I've obsessed over such a robot hand for decades. Those micro hydraulics, though they are are a real thing hobbyists can buy today, are entirely to small to exert any real pressure when divided by the long force contact point VS the pivot/fulcrum. The best place for maximum pressure would be the back of the hand, or some internal wire method linked to positive moving hydraulics/servos.
Very true. The leverage angle is terrible for strength on the original T800.
In reality , based on the design, he would probably not have been that strong.
My next hand will be an eNable hand using everything I learned from this and input from viewers.
So thanks for the input! Makes one really appreciate the human hand, doesn't it.
Indeed! I've been working on a heavy duty exosuit system for the last few days in 3ds Max. Here's a couple quick screencaps...
img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=15_hand1.jpg
img4.imagetitan.com/img.php?image=15_hand2.jpg
I've designed a full shoulder/upperArm/Elbow assembly, utilizing rotating hydraulic systems. It seems linear hydraulics and a fully mobile shoulder joint are not harmonious....
Not sure why imageTitan links aren't working. I asked them, we'll see.
+davidsirmons Aah, I can see them now. Wow! Good work!
Your design moves all the complicated stuff to the back
of the hand and out of harms way. It also has plenty of leverage.
Cool organic feel to it to!. I would love to see it in action.
Thanks for the feedback. I've got a long way to go on it. Working on the thumb process off the palm now. As this is super heavy duty, and an exosuit meant to be 'worn' by a human, it won't have the same delicate articulation as the human hand. There are parts and circular hydraulics for the shoulder axes and elbow, not shown in those images, with fully designed inner function as well. In a few days I'll have more progress to show. At that point, I'll move on to the pumps/motors/transmissions I plan on using for movement.
DAMN!!! Don't let this guy get any knowledge of A.I. We'll all be in trouble! GREAT JOB!
tw HomeShow... 👍 Fun fact... My initials are A.I.
🤔😉
yo this video deserves like a million views
HELLO ANTONY, congratulations for the video.... I haven't put together the project I bought yet... but it's about to happen. and how are things there in South Africa?
Very great effort!! I loved the way you illustrated everything!!
Awesome! Nice work man!
excellent!!!
Outstanding work on the project and the video production. Making one of these at my shop is one of my bucket list items. Thumbs up.
This is nothing short of incredible
That is one cool build ! Loved the 'inch worm' finger :oD
Ha ha! Thanks Spikey! The inch worm was my favorite part to animate... So satisfying!
I guess it shows :) Have a great day!
who dislike this..., hollowed should hire you, amazing job and awesome video editing
Skynet
@@simonbionary11010 Took you two years to answer, did you travel from future lol, awesome work again
wow the quality this has for only 46 subscribers currently counting me cant wait to see more from you keep it up!
Almost 50! Awesome! Thanks for your support! I will repay the favour by creating the best videos I can. You are all restoring my faith in humanity!
It's an amazing job!
this might make great for prosthetic arms
Great work on the build and video 👍
awesome Job man ... I do believe the Video took the same time than the build itself :-) very cool model and arm BTW Thx for supporting free 3D files !!!
Impressive work - the arm and the presentation video as well!
Amazing job, you rock Man, congrates !!!
Absolutely incredible design and amazing quality end product.
This is frikking brilliant dude.
Eish! So many awesome people, so little time!
A belated Thanks for the comment!
Stay tuned! There is a weird short Tokaloshe movie coming soon!
If you like creepy stuff that is...? Otherwise never mind.
To be honest with y’all if humanity made it to actually making fully functional terminator arms”like in the movies” i would definently replace my arm with one of those T-800 arms.
Brilliant video and great build. Thanks!
Insane you don't have a million views on this, amazing video.
Tyler Clanders - Getting there... only 991208 👀 remaining...🤔 😀
awesome video! great editing
Dude I subscribed like one minute in.. That was awesome!
Ants! You just amazed me! I didn't expect a manufactured and working arm! I though you just designed it in the software! Yeah! Keep pushing dude!
Thanks man! I aim to please!
With luck, there will be Many more animations and builds to come.
Try making a working hand from Short Circuit's Number 5 next?
If I lose a limb in an accident, I am totally getting something like this as a prosthetic.
Dude I'm with you on that
nicely done dude flippen awesome
No! You're flipping awesome! :-)
+Anthony Williams keep going ant this is what you are good at you are a handy man genius
Congratz, Nice work!
Amazing work, this is motivational.
This video is incredible.
Incredible effort! I can't believe this doesn't have more likes. I was kind of hoping that you had cast a mold of this and were selling kits but that's probably not 100% legit.
Hey thanks!
I've thought about it, I really only used the concept, the design came from my head, so I'm not sure?
Probably can't use the name though, but if I call it the Determinator, I might be safe?
Anthony Williams you should be!!! do it because this is freaking awesome and I would probably be the first one to buy it from you! :D
Thanks Elia! There's more interest than I thought, so I might start making kits?
Thanks for commenting and stay tuned! :D
Anthony Williams I will be for sure!
Hello my patient ones!
Part 2 is busy fighting it's way out of my head, so a new video is in production.
Unfortunately I had to earn that stuff called money to chase away the wolves, but I'm working hard to make it worth the wait.
Thanks for sticking around everyone!
money is a useless material that is not usable by the body and is only coveted because of the implication of value in reality modern money is worthless to the body and worthless financially as its reproducible and is only used (and was only invented) due to the greed of mankind.
thought you would want to know what was running your life ,
just a piece of paper/metal with no actual value.
THErepare man16 Money can be exchanged for goods and services
I did not vanish :D
Please check your Thingiverse Comments, something is wrong with your files (you uploaded a fixed wrist file) but now the old file is there again (wire slot missing) if you remember. Just wanted to let you know
Wait is part 2 the rest of the arm?
Wow, great arm and great video!
Thanks Ryan! Have a good one!
this is incredible
wow impressive build, construction and video production. love it! :-)
Thanks a mill! It means a lot coming from you!
O teu canal merece muito mais reconhecimento
A edição é incrível
incrível p dizer no minimo
Fantastic video! Great built! Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed watching that ..:)
Awesome. I have enjoyed with this video. Thanks.
Hey there, hope you will see this, but how does the string pull the arm down? From what I can tell, it only pulls the string, which makes the arm move with gravity?
Hi, I haven't been getting notifications, so I have missed a bunch of questions. It's purely for display, so it's not strong, but the strings are attached to the small shafts in the hand "pistons" when the string is pulled, it pulls the shaft and the finger attached to it. When released, the spring pulls it straight again.
@@antsinafrica ahh makes sense thanks.
Damn that was incredible
Damn that's kind!🙏👍
Amazzing!!!
Good job, of engenering, of desing and video!!
I like it!!
Yeah, I'm with Mighty jabba on this. I like the terminator arm, but the video production quality was over the top! That must be your real job methinks.
Spot on! Freelance animator. I wish making my own videos was my real job!
I guess that's why people seem to like this video?.. I did what I wanted to do.
Thanks for the compliment!
This is art!
The fingers are not exactly like the original, and thats a good thing because I have a model from the movie and it can barely move. The real endoskeleton would not be able to move much in real life.
Yeah, I couldn't find many replicas that move and are based on the design from the first movie, which was a working prop.
So it was a no-brainier to modify that design for 3D printing as my first biggish project.
a movie too is a technical feat quite a lot
How much time did you spend editing this? 2 years? Because it looks dam gud!
Is it made of titanium?
please how and where can i get this 3d endoarm terminator project?
awesome !!!! i want one too :P
Why is this video like a acid trip holy shit
Dylan Kitchener - I hope it was a good trip 🤑
Awesome design! Love the animation!
Did you use ABS filament?
I did yes.
It made solvent welding the pieces together with acetone quick and easy. 👍
amazing the best design I have ever seen. keep them coming subs and like
Awesome! Thanks for subscribing! I struggle to find the time, but more good stuff is definately on the way.
Dude you are a god among men sir Bravo!!
HELLSEEKER - And those, good sir, are very kind words!
Thanks!👍
Whoever you're!! you're so awesome! WHY this video only got 81 likes? WE MUST SHARE THIS VIDEO!!
Awesome job bro, but the material is hard to get, i'll looking for the finger only 3d print terminator arm, sry for bad english :v
Thanks bro! You rock! Any help with sharing will be great!
No worries on Englandish ;-), but I'm not sure what you are asking?... um...?
If you need the full models, you can use the links in the description.
You can find a finger sized mini Terminator arm at CG Trader.
Materials can be hard to get..That does suck!
I used springs from a buddy, chrome pipe from an old shower curtain, a piece of my vacuum pipe and some fishing gut...
And obviously 0.5kg of filament... hardware stuff.. and ... stuff...
Crazy!, crazy project!
Yes, that's what i mean. it's hard to get the chrom pipe, vacum pipe, etc. i'll buy or maybe printing hand with only 5 finger, i mean without arm pipe, but i'll trying to get the chrome pipe, because your stuff is really awesome bro, really..
Thanks for putting the link bro, i'm very need it, thank you!
Hi! No worries!
I have provided a drawing on thingiverse (With the other images) with the Arm pipe sizes and a version 2 of the forearm piston cap.
I hope this helps. I have also provided info in the comments below.
Cheers!

Good Morning. fantastic your work with the arm of the exterminator. do you sell the parts to assemble?
How did you make the video. It looks amazing.
That was dope
pure geneus
great work
Beautiful!!
I'm still new to 3D Printing so sorry if this is a dumb question, but what are you brushing on around 4 minutes into the video? Is that 3d gloop? or something else?
genius here
Wow!!! This is amazing😀
great job... music is so weird lol
Good afternoon, I repeated your work by printing it on a 3d printer, I can't register on the site yet to leave a review there. It is clear what you did with drusha, but unfortunately, as for me, it turned out badly. The levers for the fingers connecting different phalanges of the fingers are very thin, especially where the h is divided into 2 parts, there are no grooves in the fingers under the axes from the levers, from which if they stick out even by 0.2 millimeters, the scheme no longer works, you have to make them shorter on the contrary, and given that the lever in one place is so nowhere thinner on each finger, there is a catastrophe there at any load
Sorry for the late reply.
Strange to hear this? Mine still works fine, but it is due for an upgrade because it was my first big design and I have improved my methods substantially. I had better start work on the upgrade asap. :-)
Hey folks, currently in progress... a fully functioning robot hand with the same range of motion as a human. User aprilk on thingiverse!
Awesome One....Your Design,Editing And Explanation Are So Great...But I Have A Doubt On The Movements Of Fingers....Made a Arm Fully But The Fingers Are Not Moving Exactly Like Your Design Did..Can You Plz Explain It Or Give A Blueprint Or Something..Thx
Yeah, it's not the easiest thing to make. Mine still works great though?
I probably owe everyone a step by step build video. But until then, if you
send pics to my gmail, I'll may be able see what the problem is?
Yeah But Pics Cant Help You Figure Out The Problems,Mine Is Fully Differ From You,I Have Used Full Mechanism In It,But It Doenst Work At All,And Then I Saw The Finger Movement Concept In Your Video,The Exact Concept I Have Been Searching For Weeks,Then I Made Some Fingers Like You But It Broken When I Pulled The Trigger......Can You Help Me With A Link Or A Quick Video..Thx
Stop motion, great edting, man this guy is a fucking nerd's nerd. Excellent shit you made. I need to somehow put this into my anamantronic C3P0
You are my hero.
Les Hall - ha ha! You're my hero for being so kind. Thanks!
😂 remember dont do drugs
I am interested in making a robotic arm and I am trying to figure out how your finger movement mechanic works based on that drawing and I think I get it. Is doing it that way better than just running a string through the finger to the top segment and pulling on that to close the finger?
Exo Warlock - I designed it like that to limit the wires required to operate it.
The fingers also bend uniformly due to the levers and the springs provide the force to open the hand.
It's similar to how they made the prop in the first movie.
I'm not sure how it will translate to a practical working arm though?
Anthony Williams Ok thanks for explaining, I just loved the way the fingers looked compared to other robot arms or prosthesis I have seen. Great video btw it's nice to see it so well developed and edited.
Love the video man I'm doing my own 3D print of it right now and I was wondering what did you use for the metal rods that control the fingers
Thanks! 👍
I used an old stainless steel car aerial, but aluminum would be a way easier option!
If I made this now, I would use aluminum so a tiny hole could be drilled for the spring to attach to.
And also so it can be easily cut, sanded and polished to fit.
I hope it all goes well!
Thanks soooo much for this amazing build! Sooooo bad@$$!
Now the important question is...
Can it flip the bird?!
do you sell this project for 3d printer?
Low budget Skynet uses 3d models for wars.
