I love the idea of someone role-playing as an excavator, using a screenshot from this video as a profile picture, and insulting all the videos, only to then have their identity stolen by someone doing the same thing except they're less angry
As a person that runs an excavator for a living and loves lego, this is the best video on UA-cam. I love that the controls are the same as an excavator would be, and that it actually functions.
@@peterwithers3659 Armchair experience playing Construction Simulator on gamepad but I can confirm that you get a handle on the rhythm with both sticks when digging construction pits. (Although the setup is slightly different for me, left stick controls the turntable and boom while the right stick controls the arm and bucket.)
I rented a little excavator for 2 days. It was much harder than I thought to remember what control did what. Makes you appreciate how long it takes to get good at walking or getting a forkful of food to your mouth.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate not only the best design, but the painstaking efforts he goes through to film the test fails, but 3D printing in timelapse? I'm in awe!
Not quite, there was a Technic compatible product called the Aquabrixel which was a peristaltic pump, and they had an excavator as a product demonstrator
My father and brother are mechanics of heavy duty machines like this, and they always explains me how this works, but this video is really easy to understand. Thanks for the help
Idea: Can you make a truck that comes with this set, in which the excavator puts the sand or whatever it wants to, and then the truck can go wherever it wants and drop the sand? Like a dump truck which has a bed that bends down to drop the sand, and has a flap on the end to stop the sand from falling out? Edit one: This sorta blew up?? More chance that @BrickTechnology sees this.....
the fact that you only had to modify 1 piece and make another to get a working fluid pump is impressive and makes me wonder why Lego doesn't have something like this for an engineer line
Nice video. I always struggled figuring out how to present actual sand digging, but the way you did it by laying a full layer underneath the excavator makes sense. It's so simple
The speedrun of the design of the part was such an amazing flex. It made me so happy, the efficiency and skill and elegance with which you made a new part appear in the world, it was SO cool.
Peristaltic pumps are commonly used for small precise pumping, like in medical devices. As a bonus, the liquid doesn't touch anything other than tube, so it's easier to sanitize.
Note that not all Lego pneumatic parts work with water. The switches in particular break, as my brother discovered waaay back. Unless they improved it since, which is very possible.
Great build and the prints look awesome. I personally would have gone for a direct hydraulic with one pump-cylinder per work-cylinder. Your solution is more compact indeed
Excellent, I've been wanting to make a custom pneumatic excavator for a while but air power just doesn't cut it for speed, power and accuracy. Surprised by the amount of power those peristatic pumps can produce, it's a game changer. Thanks for the inspiration.
I hope Lego makes a bigger, more functional excavator like this with a bucket like yours. The excavator was always one of my favorite pieces of heavy equipment.
Hey this is definitely so cool!! I think for your next project you should do something with trains like making your own cargo style train or making custom carriages and having them go around in a circuit with crashes or making your own express train line :D
Tbh, it seems like the center motor was struggling to stay balanced on rotation, but that 3d print to gap close and fit was clean. Also really cool use of the hydraulics. I would love to see a build that demos the use of the servos as well. 10 out of 10 would watch again
I swear you are some kind of mad genius, this is so cool! I would be really interested to see the amount of strength this build has in the arm. It would be interesting to see if you could get it to work with hydraulic oil, or maybe make some kind of counter balance FLT, maybe with like lego pallets or something.
Im not gunna lie, hearing the exact same sounds that a real life hydraulic excavator makes, but teeny and high pitched, made me giggle. All coming from this accurate lego creation. Great job with this; It really shows how those machines work.
as an actual heavy equipment operator i have to say I'm super impressed! if you could fit a 4th pump in their i bet you could add a thumb and pick stuff up, make it much more practical
i love how your counterweight is all the equipment for making this operate. Which in this case works exceptionally well considering the fact yknow.. it's lego
Whoa these pumps are honestly game-changing and lego should sell pumps like this. I loooove pneumatics, but they are near impossible to electrify. I've always wanted to make pneumatic robots but it's just not really doable with normal compressors and valves.
Wow love this one! Had no idea they had hydraulics for Legos haha. Really hoping you end up as one of the guests on Lego masters!! One of the challenges could be something engineering based
Hey just a recommendation from someone who works on this type of hydraulics everyday. The rod side of a cylinder has less volume than the piston side because when the cylinder is all the way open obviously the rod isnt inside of the cylinder so you may want to add a water tank with a breather to avoid excess pressure build up when all of the cylinders are sucked in or to avoid the pumps running dry when the cylinders are all the way out. Otherwise great job love to see it.
It's just a glorified spoon. I love it. And seriously, using water makes perfect sense. air can be compressed, but water cannot. Good call, and good execution.
That pump is an ingenious construction, really compact for an RC function. You show that it works somewhat on air as well. Have you tried running this with compressed air? Could that possibly enhance its working without relying on water? I am thinking of adding an air pump that connects to all cycles through T splitters, and allows you to preload the system with compression. Wonder if that could work?
Hi, and congratulations to that fantastic build! The only thing, that interests me most: how did you manage the difference in the available cylinder spaces? (because the "push-side" has more space than the "pull-side", due to the rod, that is going in and out...) - that means: if you fill the push-side first and reverse the pump for the pull in the cylinder, the water should be too much for the available space there, because one cylinder means here a closed system... The real excavators compensate that difference with an oil tank.

Yea, a dump truck or a truck with a dump trailer would be a cool idea.
A truck with a dump trailer and a low loader trailer for transport the excavator
One day they are going to make a full car out of lego
They already did, only the car body tho
Already done, mostly. Bugatti (the blue one) full size with a fully lego engine (hundreds of motors) but using a metal chassis.
bruh cant even joke about it lmao
lol people will just hate on you, too bad
THEY ALREADY DID
Those pumps are one of the best lego ideas i've seen. Simple, compact and able to generate pressure. Amazing!
I love the incorporation of 3d printed parts!
that sound effect when he shows the time lapse of a 3d print is just perfect!
This should be a legitimate set, no joke. Fantastic work

It would have to come with a sealed container of Lego brand hydraulic fluid.
That's really cool! 😃👍

The fact that your creations work so well is amazing enough but they actually looks so bloody good too! Awsome work as always!!!
This might be the best Lego related video EVER. Advanced design, building and very funny. Great stuff!!
Like always, you bend the possibilities of LEGO's. thanks for always making this high quality content like its nothing!
Now imagine if lego technic models were this advanced with a hydraulic system. It be a huge game changer like this. Would love this
If you have kids, you must be a damn fun dad.
I have to say that your cable management is amazing, also, that pump is certainly unique. (in my opinion, I have never seen anything like it)
Peristaltic pumps are commonly used for small precise pumping, like in medical devices. As a bonus, the liquid doesn't touch anything other than tube, so it's easier to sanitize.

There are no switches in this build. 3 seperate peristaltic pumps . Very clever design. The only lego parts are the pistons.
This needs to become a techinc set rn
This is bizarre, insane, amazing and a whole bunch of other things! Crazy to see this concept work so well!
Great build and the prints look awesome. I personally would have gone for a direct hydraulic with one pump-cylinder per work-cylinder. Your solution is more compact indeed
