I'm glad to hear that the pen earned your stamp of approval, since I got the exact same model for my birthday a couple of days ago, on the strength of your review of the Super. It's my first 3D pen and I'm loving it so far!
You mentioned that the UFO was getting top-heavy, but the instability was likely from a larger moment of inertia. Having the rings so far from the center of gravity causes it to over-compensate, which is why people don't get these problems when mounting accessories close to the center of the drone. The Mavic is designed with its PID values tuned to its moment and mass, but with something like a race quad you can adjust those values and stabilize the flight. All the same, great showcase of the Mynt3D Pro!
That is super surprising that Myt3d worked for you. I bought a classroom set and even with 2nd generation pens still got some problems. Glad they worked for you Devin. Keep making cool stuff!
My guess would be that the clipping propeller caused the actual crash. The propeller clipping was slowing it down which was also making it drift backwards.
@@make.anything This guy is right I think, I could see it coming. The propeller clipping the structure meant that the propeller wasn't producing thrust correctly and this threw off the control software which attempted to compensate and crashed the craft. Might even have plain stuck the propeller watching it back again.
26th comment! I love your channel! You inspired me to buy a 3d printer a few years ago... Now I have 5... You sucked me into this alternate 3d printer universe! I LOVE this!
I would like to see a fully/ mostly printed version. I feel like the modeling would take forever but it would be so worth in the end for the balance issues
Maybe use your wood cnc to cut the shapes you need quickly, then trance over those shapes with the 3d pen? You'll get a lot more precise shapes and hopefully balance. Fantastic video by the way, the amount of work you put into these projects is insane!
With drones you also have to consider that if you put something that drags with the air moved by the propeller it is going to increase the load put on those motors to fly. In this case the weight added wasn't a lot but there probably was a lot of drag with air and the drone couldn't handle it.
Great project. Must be frustrating spending so much manual time making something then having it destroyed in seconds. I think using the 3D printer combined with the 3D pen you could build some structures efficiently. Maybe designing some of those 3D printed sub structures then combining with the 3D pen might work out well.
Great job! I would build from the drone up don’t add any extra legs and make it smaller with a little alien inside the dome. Like an outer circle ring above the blades then a dome. Hope that makes sense lol. Have fun making!
I would personally have made the dome on top a bit shorter, or more of a half oval (I forget the name of it since it isn't an egg but more of a skinny sphere in a sense) since the dome on top probably made the filament bend down towards the blades and was the downfall. Maybe trusses in the main body (avoiding the blades obviously) might help prevent the filament from getting shredded. I hope this helps and best wishes!
Actually a great demonstration w/ some handy tricks and also gives a pretty good idea in general of what's possible with these glorified sorta 'hot glue guns'. And love your 'focus'... lotsa folks have great ideas, but often lack the necessary 'tenacity'. BTW, maybe start with a larger dome wide enuff to enclose the blades, and then add a slightly larger 'disk shape' w/ landing gear _below_ it. Cheers!
Hey Devin! I have 2 questions for you. 1. What do you think your easiest puzzle is? 2. What colors of matte filiment did you use for the Neapolitan color scheme on one of your puzzles?
How about 3D printing a jig of some kind to speed up the welding process? Especially for those trusses. Hard to describe what I'm thinking... but imagine starting with a flat triangle. The triangle would have 3 holes, one near each corner. Now extrude that triangle out into 3D... say 2 or 3cm. Now insert into the 3 holes, your 3 filaments for the truss structure. The jig holds them in place, and speeds up the welding process.
My gut feeling is it was the structure interfering with the Mavics obstacle avoidance sensors, that’s why it gradually got more and more unstable. If it’s possible to go to a more manual flight mode perhaps with a bit more room (10ft instead of 8ft lol) you’ll be fine!
Oh I felt that too. But for a moment there it was epic. And you got the footage. I think mylar around an open cone "dome" might give you the effect you want. Just mylar sheeting on the outside, but not under or above, so the blades keep going. Then there's the issue of wobble. your rig was too flexible and bent too much, bending into the blades and destabilizing the flight. A central post up through the dome from the body of the drone?
Unless you can tune the drone's firmware , I suspect you'll suffer instability if you change the drone's angular momentum i.e. any weight that is spread out from the centre . So, try to minimize the height and width of your saucer.
Oh man, mine almost did that too. I literally had to grab it out of the sky and hold on for dear life. I learned how to override it after that scary lesson! :'D
@@make.anything ahh really must be common thing mine was on a roof and I managed to get it going and off the roof and it just went up up and further away like I don't even know how high or far lol. I was gutted haha 😄
This is one of my projects im working on, glad to see someone else tried this, i have a bunch of questions, Did any of the filaments interfere with the drone’s sensors? Do you think if you made the pieces more solid rather then geometric and had ports or vents for the propellers, it would still fly and be able to carry the weight?
The reason it broke is because since you are inside you probably aren’t using gps to lock it’s position, so it will drift especially if you turned of sensors since there is plastic all around it. Once it started drifting you over corrected and I believe that is why it started wobbling. And broke
I’m pretty sure that it was the mavic compensating, it relies on a gyroscope and accelerometer, and is programmed with its own weight. Similar thing happened to me when I loaded my phantom 3 top-heavy
Oh, that was heartbreaking (all that work, demolished...). I think if you leave off the dome you will be fine. Like you said, it makes it top heavy, but also 1) looks like it could easily shift the center of gravity, and 2) looks like it also might be reducing the airflow so the props don't move as much air (yes, the dome isn't solid and isn't fully restricting the airflow, but it does look like it potentially reduces the airflow over the blades). Good luck with UFO 2.0...
I know you've used the 3dsimo mini in the past, but I think it would be awesome if you could do a review of the 3dsimo kit 2 if you haven't already since it's a modular open source 3d pen
Devin is really handling the quarantine well
lmao I just started the video and read your comment and was trying to figure out if it was sarcastic or not and then... the intro started 😂
Onion Boi 😂
Nah, He is totally losing it.
mawama takama i can’t tell if you’re being serious
@@mawamatakama5150 he joking
Roswell UFO incident, 1947, colorized.
God damn i was going to use the joke
Lol
What you're calling "failure", I'm calling "glorious." 😁
Seriously, thanks for posting this.
Crazy Devon is favorite Devon.
Love the willy wonka reference
11:15 0.562 lbs = 0,255 kg for people who don't use imperial.
12:30 RIP
14:50 Maybe make the legs heavier so it's not so top heavy?
It's not a failure. It's learning how not to do things.
Nice video, why not aliens? Nice Pen, and I love that CPE filament. Really cool concept, thanks for sharing.
Can you plese add a text that translates the lenghts/weights in KG instead of BaldEagles per McDonalds?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
Devin - you are a workhorse. And did I mention, that you are my favorite maker!!
That’s really nice how you just Laughed after it crashed. Great job man!!
It's been forever! So glad to see a new vid from you!
It's been 6 days
Ginger Ninja Cubing six days too long 😭
I KNEW you were an alien! ;) Great video, Devin.
Considering I couldn't fly a UFO I think this video makes the opposite case! 👽

Wow! You posted twice in about a week i hope you see this cuz i love your videos!!😊😊
Great video! I love drones and UFOs! Can’t wait for build #2!
Thank you so much Davin! I just bought a mynt and I'm so excited, I can't wait to make some things with it
That intro is a 11/10
All I can say is that was a great attempt! Good job.
That intro legitimately shook me to my core.
Make the Millennium Falcon! It has a much lower center of mass, please!!
That is super surprising that Myt3d worked for you. I bought a classroom set and even with 2nd generation pens still got some problems. Glad they worked for you Devin. Keep making cool stuff!
LMAO! The Intro took me out 😂
This guy never give up! never afraid to share his failure , keep it up !
Hahahahahahaha im lovin this
Cool! I gotta get me a 3d pen & try something like this with my Mavic Pro :-) Very nice concept Devin
Welcome to the world of RC crashes :D
Devin, you're the coolest.
Devin, you ALWAYS put a smile on my face when I watch your videos, amazing work, and ideas! keep going! Love your channel
It actually moved like an UFO in those early 20th centur black and white movies!
Haha that's true!
that was a beautiful intro
Wonderful Wonka!
This is awesome. Dude, SO much work but its great.
My guess would be that the clipping propeller caused the actual crash. The propeller clipping was slowing it down which was also making it drift backwards.
I'm sure that had something to do with it.. although the drift could also be from weight imbalance

Thanks for the conversion into the other imperial unit ;)
As a drone nut I found this funny and awesome! Great vid

You’re literally the best!
Love it. Thanks Devin
Printing the rings would definitely make it sturdier.
LOL That intro tho.....on point.
I would like to see a fully/ mostly printed version. I feel like the modeling would take forever but it would be so worth in the end for the balance issues
Another fun to watch video.
10:04 Cute...

Thanks! I was debating bringing the CNC into this, some precision is certainly called for :P
This guy deserves way more subs because his ideas are always so great

"It can carry at most 2 pound. I know that doesn't sound like much"
I mean, it's about $4 AUD. that can buy you some chocolate... or 2 bottles of milk
Incredible Work 👍
Looks amazing

Have you thought about making a vacuum table and a ufo mold. A plastic shell would be lightweight and you could cut vent holes for airflow.
Amazing work👍

I really love your website 😍😍😍
I'm very glad that the UFO is the only thing that got hit, propellers + skin = stitches.
the super 3d pen is my only 3d pen the only reason i have it is ur vid thanks :))

Print surfaces (1 layer thick, no top/bottom, ~10% star or triangle infill, 200% extrusion width), bend, glue, repeat.

That was amazing!! Love your ideas! I was also wondering if you could do a orange VW Beatle?
Your Content Are Awesome i Mean I like It
In this episode of make anything Devin trys mushrooms he found in the woods
crazy creative, is the best description for this chanel
Hey, nice work, a creative mind inspiring others at the time experiments it self.
Have a great day, new suscriber.

that's sick looking UFO, hope you make another just like it or much better and stable

Wow 👏 this is amazing i imagine it took a long time. I had a drone and it flew off lol never found it again. Great work with 3d pen.

This explained what i see last night, 2020 is not that bad.
Love the covid cut
This is one of my projects im working on, glad to see someone else tried this, i have a bunch of questions,
Did any of the filaments interfere with the drone’s sensors?
Do you think if you made the pieces more solid rather then geometric and had ports or vents for the propellers, it would still fly and be able to carry the weight?
Og Wonka ftw
You should send that intro in as your audition to be on Stranger Things!
I think a mustang p51 drone frame would look cool. Airbags has a drone plane and but it's a small one.
"why not aliens" thats my new answer to anything someone asks me
Aight yeah fine I’ll buy the pen
dat intro tho!
I have a Mavic Mini that is made to be flown indoors, but it's still kinda scary.
Nice 👍
That intro though haha
Should've used glow in the dark filament and fly it at night
I would think that dome's biggest problem is changing the airflow to the props, not just that it makes it top heavy.
Yea, I'm battling a lot of forces here!
You're back 😍
He posted a video about a week ago
Omg, the intro - that was out of character. lol
The reason it broke is because since you are inside you probably aren’t using gps to lock it’s position, so it will drift especially if you turned of sensors since there is plastic all around it. Once it started drifting you over corrected and I believe that is why it started wobbling. And broke
I’m pretty sure that it was the mavic compensating, it relies on a gyroscope and accelerometer, and is programmed with its own weight. Similar thing happened to me when I loaded my phantom 3 top-heavy
U could 3D print a single shell vase mode dome for the next version of ufo
Also add some lead weight to the legs on the main ufo frame to add some balance stability
petition to bring back pegboards!
Oh, that was heartbreaking (all that work, demolished...). I think if you leave off the dome you will be fine.
