Lol when he said "look how tough it is" and he dropped it a screw came out
This should be a series, like "Ben Unplugged" Watching him use everyday tools gives me way better tips on how to build projects in general. Great show by the way.
You are the best Ben. Never stop to amaze me what you can do, plus I'm thankful for you to share your knowledge.
THANK YOU for making the ads shorter! i must say i got really annoyed by the long ads in the past, and the current ad is great, makes the product look a lot better actually!
"look at how tough it is" > screw jumps out. lmao. Otherwise inspiring as usual ;)
lmao
14:31 turning screw and if you turn up volume you hear the glue break thats holding the nylon thingy...the look how tough it is caught my eye as well but it was in fact a screw on his desk that jumped up onto the case
Why haven't I heard from this channel before? THIS IS AWESOME!
Great ideas for low budget prototyping! Thanks as always Ben! :)
cut squares around the spacer templates using a ruler instead of circles. this means that the spaces only meets the paper at 4 points and avoids the paper sticking to the glue.I have also just realized how much better loctite superglue is than cheap stuff. so so strong. you can also mount your spacers to your pcbs or parts and then cover the bases in glue and stick to the plastic. this will ensure they fit well
I'm glad you posted this. I had no idea about engraving plastic. Not being about to afford a CNC or 3D Printer, this is priceless.
Nice, thanks for the inspiration Ben!
This is the first video I watched from this channel and I find what the author is doing really creative and smart. I don't understand (and I never will) why people has to be mean or rude when you are just showing good 'healthy' things. Don't get me wrong, I think it's fine to have a joke, but some times I get the impression that people (some) just comment to relief their frustration/anger. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for the awesome tutorials!
My hero! awesome ideas, thank you sooo much!
Great episode, thanks ben!
The day is here! I was waiting for this video a long time ago!
Thanks for the inspiration!
15:35 "look how tough it is." **sees a screw pop out and roll on the corner**
Excellent video thanks a lot
@6:50 sounds like the beginning of a terminator movie. "When the machines came around"
Exactly what I want ,
thank you very very very much.
Can't wait for the quadracopter!!!
This video is so helpful.
You are awesome man and I love this show.. :)
Thanks dude!
what touch screen did you use for the raspberry pi laptop??
Oh yea cant wait for the Quadcopter episode Ive been thinking of making one for some time and it will be nice to see you do it so I can maybe follow your lead! Keep up the awesome work
Thanks your a big help
Thanks, this video will come handy
Thanks Ben this is exactly what i need for my PI laptop :)
10:45 Yup, that aluminium will be Ben'd. Haha, get it?
This would be an awesome discovery show!
Look at how tough it is! **Screw falls out**
Low your show man. Great work!!! Keep it up ;)
Cheers Ben
I won that staring contest!, only cause this is so interesting that i cant take my eyes off the screen!
And yet again, another interesting video... I have a good idea for stuff, but not having the tools to do it all, makes me wonder HOW !! Engraving plastic and aluminium flat stock !! Such a simple way of getting stuff done! I do have a hot glue gun ... Somewhere... As for the other tools, I can get them if need be ;) Love the videos.. Hugz fae a Daft and Cuddly Scotsman.
Really like the new SHORT commercials!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
You should do more videos like this for those of us who don't have access to the sweet equipment.
really stable!
A real erector kit LOL, am I the only one who cracked up when he said that?
Thanks!
I love this
That AWESOME!!!!!
Nice!
Quadcopter! Can't wait! :)
Perfect timing, need to build a case for my psp arcade cabinet.
Im a huge fan i love your vids! :)
That Pie laptop looks cool! Kinda wanna get one of those now.
Lincoln Logs !!! !! they brought them back. Real wood and all.
Pretty slick case! And don't forget, if you have access to a 3D printer you can print out some of the Pinball machine parts. Just look for your local Hacker Space to find a 3D printer to use :)
why would someone dislike this??? those are amazing videos...
RASPBERRY PI! I am twelve and that is the thing I use for EVERYTHING! I am going to hack up and ION ICADE and hook all the controls into an iPAC board. Then I can use it as a cool, usb control panel for my raspberry pi MAME console. Really simple, but it is a little pricey to build the control panel...Happy Hacking!
really nice thanks for the tips, I feel alienated when you use the laser cutter or cncs. =(
Hope I can build my cnc router anytime soon, still a long way to go.
I don't have a 2D printer or a 3D one, I only have a 1D printer but it can also print in 0D. Is there a way I can get it to print in -1D?
Just run your 1D printer in reverse. Check if it has a reverse switch first. If not you might have to mess with the space-time continuum. Not recommended. If you slip into another dimension you're screwed.
Jonathan Gray Thanks, that worked. I removed all the flux capacitor fluid first as to not mess up the space-time continuum. But I now have this black spot in my office and no light can escape from it. Any ideas how to get rid of it?
87steveom
Use black light catcher device with elements turning 1.0001 times faster than speed of light.
Steve87 if u go into the hole u will need to have a straightforward quantum tunnel
Or get a anti singularity capsule and again hide in the quantum tunnel just don't get lost
that would be awesome
Nice one :)
Why not use something like spray adhesive for attaching the template to the plastic? It ensures the template won't move at all and is easily cleaned up when the scribing is complete.
"look how tough it is!" screw pops out lol
You are total inspiration to me!
God bless you!
Where do you usually get good nintendo pads (originals or incredibly good clones)?
EBay....
EBay....
Ebay....
Ebay is not an answer, friends...
"Where can I get a great scarf?"
"Ebay"
I was looking for a company or a seller or anything tested and "touched": thanks ***** :)

What is this engraving plastic? Where can I get it from?
I was thinking... you could shape a 2x4 (or maybe a 2x8 or wider) to the outside dimensions of your case. Then bend plexiglass around the form using a heating. The top and back could be made the same way you showed with plexiglass. Maybe cutting most of the openings with a Drexel on a router base. You could even setup stops to guide the router cuts. Then the outside could be beveled with a router as well.
hey how can i make something like i was thinking about making a mini laptop case but i dont have 3d printer what can i use ty ty
this is helpful for my project. I'm putting a Raspberry Pi into a PSP and I need more space for the screen so I could plastic on the side to raise it up a bit and then super glue the parts in.
Hey Ben, great show. ever thought about casting your cases with liquid plastic?
if you have to do custom case by hand I'd perhaps prefer carving a shape in wood then coat with 2 comp casting plastic and finish the surface and use that for mold for casting plastic case. that can look decent and be sturdy.
Where did you buy the engraving plastic from? I would like to try to make a case for a raspberry pi.
you are the bob ross of diy
print on self adhesive paper, much easier to apply and if you get the cheap kind, the adhesive is weak enough to remove without problems. Just a wipe down with alcohol afterwards to get rid of adhesive residues and voila.
great advice for people who don't have all the tools at their disposal
Cool
what design software should I use
What kind of plastic are you using? Thanks and Awesome video especially for me since i'm 14 and nowhere near enough money for a 3d printer and saving up for a 3doodler.
Also wonder where I can get all the soldering parts and what not like where to buy one and how to do it
Cant wait for the quadcopter
Is that the touch screen designed for the Raspberry Pi? Looking forward to more.
quite spiffy good sir!
I still have a laptop kinda like the one he was making except the laptop runs ms-dos and actually works just don't know where the charger when to so i can charge it
See the electrical circuit, but I really don't have the slightest queue about drawing electrical schemes, could you make a video on them, since, you are allready sharing tips and tricks?
yes
Ben! Am a big fan of your show and work! It inspires me a lot but being 15 years old is a huge set back for me as I don't have the required budget to buy proper appliances.. What type of beginner project do you recommend for a 15 year old ?
Looking forward to the quadcopter ep
no way! linkin logs are the best! used to make a little teeter totter out of them with the flat roof parts an put something on one end and launch it by smacking the other end lol. plus much better to step on in the dark with bare feet.
I would suggest new users to have a straight edge to make straight cuts. Ben is very experienced, but newer hackers and most others should take advantage of the tools.
Does anyone have a link to where I can buy that type of engraving plastic?
Possible to re-render and upload?
Is your book published in Sweden, or can I order it somewhere?
You could always use 2 part epoxy once you know the screw mounts are in the right places! :)
can engraving plastic be shaped using heat? like the vinyl for vacuform.
does anyone know what ben uses to scale/design these builds
Could you use a dremel for cutting the plastic
If you "unplugged the 3D printer" then why is it running?
Perhaps the data, not the power.
The Ben Heck Show But it would require data to print something, and it is printing something...
***** Maybe the data is already in the printers memory
He didn't mean it literally.

wireless?
Could you do some simple computer case hacks? :) Just some simple and cool things you can do to a case :)
I am making a super simple and compact pi-computer or pi-puter with a pi ( obviously), a RII 2.4 GHz wireless mini keyboard ( black) and a 4.3 inch reversing monitor with an aluminium laser cut and soldered case and very small hinges so it can fold over with pi andLCD reversing monitor on the top half and the keyboard on the bottom. Though like your pi portible it is earphones only and I can't find a small enough power source to fit in it.
i have a problem with my remote i cant see the keyboard at night and i wish you can also make it game pad . i have Google lg TV model number 47g2 it runs on android . please the keys don't light up. it works a little like a we remote .
Question, is there a reason why you are not using flat countersunk screws on the back? Btw, love your channel
Where did you get the touch screen for rasberry pi
Can you make a PC case with same materials as this one?
Or is the plastic too fragile/weak to carry have components?
My general idea is something small like a Mini-ITX case.
Ben is NASA
Great now I need a printer!
