So you've basically just made the frame of a CNC out of (mostly) LEGO. From this, you can flip it upside down and replace the magnet with a motor and drill bit to complete that, or if you mount that whole assembly higher, you can add a platform that moves along the Z-axis to make a 3D printer. I feel like the LEGO would melt if left near a hot end, though...
@@BrickMachinesChannel yes, if you do a corexy setup, I think the whole thing would be possible with pure lego parts. Instead of belts you could use chain links and a A/B motor setup similar to a Voron 3D printer. You wouldn't have to cross the belts this way.
This is amazing! I feel like a lil bit less sand would make it even better cuz you can see it's pushing a lot when creating new lines close to the old ones. Having sand level half depth of the ball could make it crispy. Can't wait for lego nuclear reactor
WHOA This is insane. Definitely will need to check out the metal parts! Will also petition for a 24/7 stream of this with relaxing audio 😂 Also also, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, mb dude. Builds are as cool as before tho! Nice job!
You're a genius in 3 ways: *Create a machine which is for practical use for sand drawings *Create wonderfull sand art motives *Film that sand art with perfect timelaps and camera angles to cut an awsome video masterpiece Thx for that and keep on! And guys ... subscribe for this talent!
I am absolutely astonished. I’m speechless! This is so amazing, I- I want more! You’ve well outdone yourself with this. This is an amazing work of art, you’ve got some dedication. Man you’ve made my day with this. I can’t wait to see more!
@@iantassinari4942 I gotta say, it's so fun to build machines like this, but then to get to share them with people who really like them is even better!
Those drawings at the end were so sick! I loved the one that looked like the inside of a tree trunk. You gotta start adding ASMR to the description of these non-narrated videos. 🤤 So satisfying.
This is just a hypothesis, but I think it might have something to do with the sturdiness of plastic. Granted, I’m relatively new to LEGO, so I don’t know if they’ve ever made blocks out of metal, but from what I can tell they just use plastic (except for the motorized ones). A 500 stud axel made of plastic, because of all the holes, would be extremely flimsy and liable to break (like gum when you stretch it out), even more so if there’s a lot of moving parts involved (since movement causes friction, which generates heat, melting the plastic). The metal axels don’t have that problem, since the friction caused by the movement, while generating enough heat to melt plastic, it’s not enough to melt metal.
Very cool. Also: black sand on some kind of diffused light base. It might be harder to get one thin enough for the magnet to work well, but it would probably look really cool.
Glad you liked it! Here are the links to Amazon for the lights and the power supply and controller! And just so you're aware, I get commissions for purchases made through the links below. Thanks for your support!! amzn.to/3tuav6n amzn.to/3NwZFTX amzn.to/47425As
Am I the only one reminded of classic screen savers back in the day and how oddly satisfying it was to watch them draw themselves? Fantastic fun though. =3
The one thing I'm curious about is how the metal parts and the plastic parts interact. I have seen cases where metal parts end up destroying plastic parts. Doesn't make much difference if it's just something short lived like I suspect this is. But if you set this up to continuously run, it could end up failing faster than you expect.
I'd say he puts lego in the title cause it's the most recognized name. Channel is called brick machines. Lego isn't the only one that makes bricks. I'd say long as it keeps the same brick system style set up, it doesn't matter what material it's made of. I wish there were more metal bricks
Could see this set up in an unused space or closet and either projected onto a screen or mirrored so it looks like a moving picture. Just watching something like this as a continual LIVE video would be awesome for those of us who have their televisions hooked up to their monitors.
I love the way you noticed that there were no parts of the required length... so you cut down some parts to the required length yourself. This is a level of creativity and ingenuity beyond what they had in mind when making Lego Technic...
Truly fascinating! Have you thought of adding some kind of shaking/vibrating attachment to the sand pit which could provide an easy and fast "wipe/flat out"/"reset" mechanism for the sand area?
The real question is if you can make this thing draw out each frame of bad apple!! (half joking, that would be really cool, but genuinely this is a really impressive work of engineering and i am really amazed by how well it all came together! Expertly done, excited to see that the bounds of lego are endless lol)
I have watched a few of your videos and am fascinated by the things you build with Lego! The moving ones are always more impressive, especially the ones with moving balls. But this one here has everything. Do you ever reveal the actual time spent building? Do you share your design thoughts and processes? Although I realize that you get sponsors donating parts etc. How much do you think it would cost to make, say, this sand drawing machine, or maybe something a little simpler?
Now if only one could combine dominoes, marble tracks and a sand art machine, that would be an awesome rube Goldberg machine/reaction. Awesome engineering job.
The fact that he made custom parts out of mental kinda blow my mind and making LEGO work with the sand thing omg this is the best video I’ve seen so far
The original Sisyphus sand art device uses a central polar axis that rotates a linear rail for distance from center so the whole device can also be a compact circle barely larger than the sand surface.
Yeah that's a very cool way to do it, no doubt, but this one can handle rectangle and square mirrors too, and have bounds that aren't only circular. A different take on a similar concept, for sure! Thanks for bringing it up!
That's cool there's companies that make metal parts for the really big projects like this thanks for sharing I always like when creative people share their creations
You could have made the plate vibrate to smoothen the sand kinetically. Awesome work tho! If I had to suggest a new video, I've been getting into pinball recently :D
Check out my newest video! It's epic! ua-cam.com/video/6TcieXHVLVc/v-deo.html

@@impact224488then you can 3D print legos and make another 3D printer.
Never thought that an analog screensaver could be so mesmerizing.
Great work.
Thank you so much! :)
We're so proud to be a small part of this! Great project as always!
Thank you! So grateful for your expertise on the Pybricks team. I love using it for programming these machines!
@@BrickMachinesChannelthe new block interface has the same satisfying clicks for your videos. I think we just need a green screen full screen mode 😅
Ah that's so cool! I haven't tried the blocks coding yet, but I have seen that it has been a huge hit! Congrats on that! 🙂

I'm really addicted to these videos. If you made some of just the sand I'd watch them over and over too.
WHOA
This is insane. Definitely will need to check out the metal parts!
Will also petition for a 24/7 stream of this with relaxing audio 😂
Also also, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, mb dude. Builds are as cool as before tho! Nice job!
Thanks so much! Yes, definitely check out the metal parts--they are awesome!! Great idea on the streaming!
😮
Sometimes, the algorithm brings you something beautiful.
this is one of the coolest lego builds I've seen! great work!
Thanks so much! :)
The LED's really set it off. They way they interact with the peaks and valleys of the sand creating highlights and shadows is really pretty.
This is the most elaborate and mechanically complex LEGO build that I've seen so far, and it's absolutely epic.
Love the videos! I will for sure come back. This is a very cool machine! I bet your parents are proud
Thank you so much! Love to have you watching videos on the channel!
Wow this is truly amazing! I love all the designs you were able to make in the sand!
Thank you so much! ☺️ I'm really glad such an awesome builder like yourself enjoyed it!
This is basically the principle of an Etch-a-sketch. With extra steps and inverted.
Cool to see nonetheless.
Your videos just keep getting cooler and cooler! I can’t wait to see what you make next!
Thanks so much! Can't wait to show you the next one!
You're a genius in 3 ways:
*Create a machine which is for practical use for sand drawings
*Create wonderfull sand art motives
*Film that sand art with perfect timelaps and camera angles to cut an awsome video masterpiece
Thx for that and keep on!

The end result is quite astonishing 😮!
Thats one of the infinite possibilities of Lego. Keep working :)
Yes, I love LEGO® bricks and their endless possibilities!
Great idea, thanks for doing it 💥💫
You should make a working claw machine.
I love that idea!

Thanks so much! And you're so right...LEDs are a must 😉
I loved every aspect about it! I would like to suggest using a diffuser for the lights, will make the lights look softer and more pleasing!
Great suggestion! Thank you!
That was amazing 👍👍

This was really cool to see. It’s a shame LEGO is trying to hold you back by not making 500 stud axels
This is just a hypothesis, but I think it might have something to do with the sturdiness of plastic. Granted, I’m relatively new to LEGO, so I don’t know if they’ve ever made blocks out of metal, but from what I can tell they just use plastic (except for the motorized ones).

Imagine buying a lego set and you open the box and see a fekin saw and metal parts
Very cool. Also: black sand on some kind of diffused light base. It might be harder to get one thin enough for the magnet to work well, but it would probably look really cool.

3d printer out of Lego for unlimited Lego
Gret machine! Also great job at not showing off each picture for at least half a second to appreciate! You Sir, are an engineer!
I get that it's kinda required for this, but having a 125 stud aluminium piece and then sawing it feels... a bit not LEGO.
That's fair! But it's kinda fun to branch out a little, at least for me 👍
I mean, if it works…
