Styrene might be my favorite material for a while so we'll see a lot of it in the future. It's awesome, you can make and prototype virtually anything and it doesn't require any fancy tool. Anyone can start right now making things.
I first discovered abs (styrene) in NYC at a Jimmy Diresta's lesson at the school of visual art he used to teach at.

I don't know why, but I enjoy seeing the syringe being used to apply the solvent. I think it's the precision and control that draws me in.
Tom Haflinger You’re just addicted to heroin, so every time you see a syringe you get revved up.
That can't be it.
I mean, that can't be *all* of it.
Great video but your audio levels were all over the place. The music volume was much louder that you're speaking volume. I had to constantly adjust my TV's volume in order to listen to your video comfortably.
TheHayes32 yup! Now we’re editing in the shop (i used to edit at home) with all kind of noise and fans constantly on... Even with headphones it difficult to do the levels right but it’ll be better. I apologize!
it takes a while to get used to
So I'm not the only one who noticed it?
I often keep my computer volume at 50% when looking at vids, to be able to adjust the volume comfortably but I raised it for the spoken parts at the start of the vid and quickly lowered it when the montage music came on and up, down, up, down haha.
I have edited on enclosed headphones to try keep external noise at a minimum and also keep an eye on the VU meter levels of each separate audio track and you'll notice if something is way too high. Even looking at the visual representation of audio is a bit of a give away at times, providing it is accurate. Even a gentle compression of all of the audio helps to level things out but do that at the audio mastering stage.
Always remember to let your ears rest before a final run thru and render as your ears naturally compress audio over time and headphones are a major problem for that... Or get someone else to listen to the audio before rendering.
Other than the audio, it's ALWAYS a good video, content is spot on and we're just being picky bastards with the audio!
use level meters buit-in your editing software.
get both to -9db if you are not playing them simultaneously. It's kinda a standart in industry for those who actually follow standarts..
i was listening on pc and it was amazing
Yes love styrene! It's a staple in the model making world. Light and surprisingly strong. Great video. : )
It comes in "Shit" form!! LOL
Very nice video. I too am just getting into using plasticard. Where did you get those metal blocks that you used for holding card at 90 degree angles please ?
Hey editor! Please eliminate the background noice :-)
August sorry fans need to stay on in order to survive and can’t do more than this to eliminate it... I apologize
Thanks a lot I will try it...
That’s okay man ;) You are still one of the greatest youtubers, the quality has been better and better
id recommend izotopes RX suite of VSTs for noise removal and audio restoration. They are fantastic and i swear by them.
every comment section of any Giaco video ever
1. great quality video
2. that thing you made is cool I might want to try that
3. what's the song??!!!!!??
That is a FANTASTIC idea for those Sennheiser wireless mics!
Totally make me use em more... :)
What kind of solvent are you using that isn't affecting the plastic syringe? I'd love to get into making things with styrene!
Stefan Majonez he mentioned that styrene is something live abs. He also mentioned he is using a solvent (acetone). And since its abs, acetone will work as solvent to merge the two elements totgeher.
Your mad scientist style commentary added so much value to this video for me 😂👏
Scrivscribe I can’t survive without the fan on and can’t do more than this to eliminate the noise... sorry
Ops wrong comment... I wanted to say THANK YOU 😂
I like how while scoring the white sheet it almost created the illusion that the maker knife was also of the same colour .It was a cool colour as well. Also if you had a ribbon under the batteries which some electronics do you could easily take out the batteries in one tug,instead of cutting the sides.
What is ruler/straight edge is that around 2:28? It looks perfect for doing cutting work on styrene and cardboard.
I have used it to make molds and the results were so incredibly smooth I couldn’t believe it.
Thanks for the informative video. I've been watching Maker videos on styrene and some of them turn the knife upside down and score with the back side of a knife allowing little curls to come up and it doesn't push the styrene down and cause it to pinch. Not my idea but I have tried it and it works better than just using the sharp edge of the blade, especially on thicker styrene.
at 4:50 What are those cool steel blocks called? Ever since watching this video a couple of weeks ago, I;'ve been trying to find them online, but I CAN'T WORK OUT HOW TO DESCRIBE THEM. I WANT SOME.
Adam Savage use styrene all the time. Such a powerful material! Also drooling for a maker knife... 🤩
Wet sand your edges with 400 or 600 grit sand paper with a bit of water and dish soap it softens the hard styrene edges and gives a smooth manufactured look to the piece... abrasive Vim soap is good also
I'm in East Tennessee, I run plastic extrusion machines, I fill hoppers with poly styrene that was made from scrap and recycled PS in house! I run up to 8 lines of extruders at a time, great material im able to make a part straight as a arrow with my experience
Welp, looks like I am going to try a new material. This was quite fun to watch too!
Satisfaction just reached a whole nother level
Very cool! Can you mold it/manipulate it with heat?
Yeeeessss! :)
White noise increase, please! Great video brother!
;)
New editing is amazing!! Dont get what people are talking about noise levels?? i think it was damn near perfect
It wouldn't hurt if you put a little bit more Lights on you when you are talking but during the close up shots it looks really cool with the dark background
Is this something you can laser cut safely?
Good morning Giaco. That's a very handy tip mate for us model makers, thanks for sharing. Hey, you should place a drag knife in you Tormach and cut out all you parts via CNC (just a thought). Oh, I've got a new CNC machine arriving this week it's a Syil X7 Combo. I will upload new videos soon on it. Have a great day my friend. Cheers, Aaron p.s. I just ordered my maker knife too :-)
Best Energizer Ad ever.
Both ABS and HIPS (high impact polystyrene) are available as 3d printing materials. Parts made from these materials can easily be welded/glued and smoothed with solvents!
The edit in this is really amazing, give credits to your new editor, he's killing it!
Excellent video, cheers.
Another material to try out is foam PVC board. (e.g. "Sintra, Plastock, Palfoam" etc.)
It's _much_ easier to work with than Styrene; it's more flexible, it's way easier to cut and sand, and takes paint really well.
Drilling is so easy that my dining room table has little holes in it...
It's widely used in prop-building, model making, dolls-house furniture etc.
Don't look for it in model stores though... you'll probably get ripped off. e.g. Evergreen styrne..
Instead, find a plastics retailer or maybe even a large hardware store: they'll can sell you a giant sheet of the stuff for about the same price as Styrene. You can also buy in huge thicknesses, for sculpture.
That sounds amazing and need to try it!
where did you get those metal weights? i cant find anything similar to help hold pieces in place while it welds
They're called 1-2-3 blocks and they're available from a machinist tool supplier such as Shars.
Really enjoyed the build and it was awesome hearing you talk out loud and describe what your thinking!!! Great promotional video idea on the maker knife. 👊🏻😉 -Brian
Styrene is like the big brother of chip board. I seriously might consider using that stuff for building architectural models.
White noise reduction pls
It's called a fan dude.
What type of glue is good for stryene ....his glue seemed amazing.
That stuff is super cool! Watching this was fun because it sounded like you were having so much fun making this video.... Bravo Fratello Bravo.👍👍
Yes a lot!!! Grazie fratello
Thanks for the video, I learned two things, one about sheet styrene and the other about the 123 blocks.
The second to last shot was amazing. I'll have to keep in mind styrene.
I dont know what is so special about this video he is just showing us his knife
voice is still lower volume than music. eq levels are visible if you put the meter on screen. amp anything too low and reduce anything too high. even have a plugin for it in FCPX for peaking.
What new material I can learn with your videos! Thanks Giaco
"It's not gonna work, not in a million years...Hey I knew it would it work". "I'm soooo stupid, I forgot to put this in...ahhh, I got it in, now I'm gonna take it out... I'm just gonna leave it in" LMAO! Great product to prototype with, thanks for the lesson and the laughs!
Hahahahaha thanks brother
Holy crap! I might need to make one of these for my wireless kit! That's awesome!
If you are doing large batches of Styrene work, clear PVC cleaner can be used instead of the “official” solvent. It has the same active ingredients and is much cheaper.
If it has a lot in common with ABS then you can also try acetone, I use this to glue parts from 3D printing together. It might work for this also in a controlled syringe way if dispensing. Just a little bit, because it can also eat it away so don’t brush it on. But for smaller parts and small syringe tips a little line should melt just a small layer in each part to bind them together. The less used, the better and the faster it evaporates with a permanent bond.
What kind of ruler is that and where can I get one? I’ve searched around and can’t find anything that thick. Looks to be about 3/8” thick.
+1!
(it's probably metric :) )
I got it years ago from FABRIANO, they might sell it online it is pretty nice...
It's nice to consolidate stuff like that into an easily maintainable space. I need to label my adapters and clean up my connections especially for my guitar set -up. A suggestion for cutting things like your round-out for the battery sides is to fit it over an overhanging table corner. That knife looks more and more tasty every day. Ciao Fratello!
Grazie fratello!!!
I'm truly amazed by the quality of your vids !
Another beautiful video, thanks!!
That utility knife looks awesome! It's the "Marker Knife".
Thank you, I'm just getting into making cool stuff :)
Definitely going to use this.
Hey, where did you get those cool blocks you used to stabilize while the glue dried?
New subscriber! :)
They are called “123 blocks “
Amazon have em
@@GiacoWhatever excellent thank you!
Well looks like Im gonna go buy some styrene today, looks super fun to work with!
Beautiful, fun and interesting video! Yay for another Giaco mini-movie! Now I really want to build something out of styrene. But I wonder if one can bend it with, say, a heat gun carefully applied?
Yes, you can do it.
Have you used black styrene? Will solvent stain it or it will be totally clear?
Can that stuff be heated and bend it? Or just glueing. I guess I'll just watch more video's on the uses of
"styrene"
Buongiorno, condiviso come sempre 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏,con piacere vedo che siamo tornati produttivi in fatto di Editing 😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder why you dont make a sleeve or case for the maker knife out of styrene!
Nice bro😎
👊🏻🤩
Great as always and very nice Vertigo effect at 12:20!
it cool to see the old Giaco back good job mate
I made a phone holder for my motorcycle out of styrene plastic, but I couldn't seem to find that "plastic weld" you're talking about so I've used superglue/ca glue, but it doesn't work as well I think.
The connections are still brittle.
Totally need to try WELD ON
Hi Bro, Can you tell me the thickness of that Styrene sheet please?
Where can I buy this metal blocks with holes? Thanks!
WEN BLOCKS....WALMART, HOME DEPOT...INTERNET
sorry...made by wen...called 1-2-3 blocks
What thickness did you use in this video? Thanks
What are you using to weld the styrene
I have to try that stuff out! Awesome build man! And stop with the maker knife teasing!!! 😅 jk, I just can’t wait to get mine 😎👍🏼
Gravity.... that's the thing...
“Sketchy” 😆 cool project I should expand on my material usage.
What tickness is your sheet like 1/16? I just got some delivered to me and it's very thin. So disappointed I was ready to build.
Great project, perfect use of Easy Inlay!😂😜😂
Hahahaha
great material. Practical receiver bearing holder👍
Excuse me, what form does it come in?
Rigid ABS or styrene as in low density foam stuff? That white sheet you had was really floppy.
Nice job. I must get me some of that styrene to try it out.
Two things: 1) I can't wait to get my hands on my own maker knife and 2) with the new mic you've lost the balance between talking and music. I had to keep turning you up and the music down.
Jim Campbell will get better sorry
Very nice! I like it... and, I’ll have to get some of that!
I'm 90% sure I'm gonna try this
Angelo Dominguez make it 100%
How do i get styrene? They don't sell it at any store in Norway. Anyone have a good site they can recommend?
cool material. i can imagine it being very handy to make things
7:34... that was very cool. Very cool indeed !!!!
May I ask, what thickness is the styrene you’re using in this video? Great video by the way. Got a lot of tips from this one.
Nice One Giaco!
whats the thickness of the sheets you are using
Where do you guys get this in EU. Any recommended supplier?
What solution are you using to bond
Spray painting it would probably look awesome.
Some chemicals in certain spray paints can eat away at this material. Make sure to test a sample first before painting your finished project.
Very slick!
its kinda cool (for diyers at least) that you can buy syringes as well as needles at most supermarkes in italy
What is the best solvent to use?
What kind of pencil are you using?
Hi @giacowhatever , I really like your videos, I want to try to play with styrene, but looking online I see that it is sells in different thickness, can you tell me the type you use?
thanks for being some kind of teacher for me, this is awesome :)
whats the solvent?
what is the name/author of the song at the very start?
Where did you source your ABS sheets from? I'd looked in the past but couldn't find any.
Interesting tip, I had some ABS plastic repair to do. You can dissolve the ABS plastic in Acetone(Probably the solvent used in the "ABS Weld") and create a paste you can apply as a filler. Once the acetone evaporates, you're left with ABS plastic. A little rough sometimes, but you can sand/fill/repeat.
It's polyester i think, you can weld it with acetone
Do you think it is safe to laser cut? 🤔🤔 It will cut obviously, but maybe it burns or releases fumes
It’s not the most fun to cut but yes totally doable...
Actually, styrene does not refer to ABS, it is a common name for polystyrene. those two are close, but still very different.
ABS is much harder to work with
Yes, it’s sounds like I meant they are the same thing but it’s not what I meant! :)
I was thinking about the welding part for which you can use the same solvent...
Interesting stuff! It's easy to imagine Jimmy using that for prototyping - I don't have a project that requires ABS but I'm definitely going to make one, lol :D
Watch jimmy’s ruller box video
Great idea! I'd totally forgotten about that one! Nice one :)
The interesting thing - to me - here is that the video does not show how fast this went from the idea in your mind to the object on the desk. Following a lot of 3D printing channels and of course 3D modelling and 3D printing myself it's easy to forget that a ten minute video about a 3D printed part does not represent the same amount total work time as the ten minute video you made about rapid prototyping this object. I bet this took a lot less time than what it would have taken me to sketch and print something similar - especially if there had to be any iterations. By the way - how well does styrene laser-cut? I think glue-welding laser-cut parts may have been as fast or maybe quicker. Not knowing how much time you spent ... that's just a thought. Love watching you enjoying yourself =D Cheers! JM
That you brother... Yes this was REALLY fast... Laser cut would have taken longer with designing! But laser cutting intricate parts will be pretty cool and totally going to do it. :)
Hey Giaco, what about adding a place to store the little mic cable itself along with the sender/receiver so you don't misplace it and have it all in one place
Yes... I didn’t come up with a good solution yet but I totally will add that...thanks
Can't wait for our knives, we ordered 3
