Making a bolt with double threads - DOES IT WORK? - Lost PLA metal casting - 3d print to solid metal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2021
- Using the lost PLA metal casting I will turn 3d prints into metal castings in my DIY backyard foundry. I started by printing the models on my 3d printer. I then coated them with a ceramic material. I then fired the shell in my kiln and then poured metal into the shell. This is similar to the lost wax casting process.

Hey guys! This one was a lot of fun to make. I hope you enjoy watching it. Have a good weekend! 🔥🍻
Sigh can't wait for autocaptions. UA-cam is so slow on those lately. Have a great weekend!
Robinson Found made please brass knuckles my request
Mr Robinson try using a metal mosquito mesh next time.It will add a lot of structure support.I use it to weld plastic parts together,i just run a soldering iron on it and it sinks inside the plastic.
These were amazing castings, congrats!
please do a stress test. I would really love to see this print finally have closer on weather the design would work or not.
These are probably the cleanest castings I've ever seen
Right?!
That ceramic coating did an amazing job
Yes
Very fine sand
Castingcouch would agree

This man’s voice implies he’s basically the son of the How it’s made narrator
well kid let me give a useful knowledge there is something called voice changer that most of youtubers used
@@judahdoan5196 Rest In Peace
@@justsadguy3153 UA-cam doesn’t have a voice changer my friend
@@jerrysouthside8597 lol when I said they use YT to change voice there are something called editing tools.
@@justsadguy3153 why do you think they use a voice changer?
As an aircraft mechanic I have a problem with this concept. I love that it actually functions to some degree, but it doesn't actually perform the function as a bolt as far as I can tell. In effect the nut kind of "falls" through the threads, and it doesn't appear to be capable of actually holding anything together, not to mention the inherent sensitivity to vibration. Practical problems aside, fantastic work!
Yep. Looks great, doesn't work
lol it's totally just a fun theory and a great toy. The uni-directional nuts could hold a bite, but would eventually snap, this is true.
Maybe as a pair they are useless but you could in theory save material by making those parts and pairing them with one directional counterparts of either orientation.
As a bonus the parts would always fit and you wouldn't have to worry about picking the right pair.
if you look carefully, he makes 3 Nuts, one that screws clockwise, one that screws counterclockwise, and a third that screws in either direction. the former two would work just as well as a normal bolt and nut.
@@TheBadAssNinjaDude Good point, I missed the two unidirectional nuts. Unfortunately it still ends up with the same effect of either being a conventional nut or not holding things together. There is the perk of being able to use left hand or right hand thread nuts though!
The fact that you can see the layer lines clearly enough that it looks as if the metal was 3D printed directly just speaks of the incredible quality of the cast
I have to agree with you, the layer lines look cool. The weekend is always great, as I get to watch some of my favorite casters, such as you, BigStackD, ArtbyAdrock, and VOG, just to name a few. Another great casting.
Thank you!
@@robinson-foundry Missed opportunity to call it the Impossibolt
Nicely done! A double-threaded bolt is one of those random things I always wondered about as a kid, but haven't given a thought to in about 20 years and never expected to actually see. As a sidenote, it's not a real project unless you're borrowing various kitchen items.
Wow your casting methods seem way better than most of the stuff you see in UA-cam. It may be a lot of work but I think the results speak for themselves
I see he hasn’t uploaded since this video. His wife prolly seen him using the Pyrex. RIP man :(
Rip :((
? At the time of your comment he had uploaded two videos since this one
All fun and games until the wife actually finds out.
@@Agnes.Nutter
*WHOOSH*
LOL we only own Pyrex because of me lol… it was a present for my wife before we married 10 years ago. I bought 4 of every single size and 8 of every single top! Since then I’ve gone as far as purchasing extra fakes of certain sizes and tops and made sure my wife understood that fakes DO NOT get used on a stove or in an oven!
"I'll just throw out a scene of me using my wife's Pyrex so she gets mad" 😆
we know who slept on the couch that night
What a power play
@@d4v3tm the couch is our friend🙃
Quite the saddistic. A gentle kind thereof.
I was about to say this lmao.
After years of watching "How It's Made," Ive never seen someone wrap wire around a casting. Yet it seems like a great idea.
2:20 "Metal would rise up through each nut."
I don't know why but, this line made me laugh so hard.
that was kinda funny...lol
Metal is stored in the nuts
@@senrabnaneek This man has nuts of steel
Capturing the 3D printing filament lines means that your casting method is absolutely on point.
As someone who knows nothing about this stuff... I actually have always liked layer lines. I think the texture they add is pleasant.
I agree that layer lines add a nice texture to a lot of print related stuff, but the layer lines are weak points structurally in 3d printed structures. Parts often break along the layers like the grain of wood. Not really an issue with a cast like this because those layer lines are just surface textures and not part of the structure. I've seen some stuff where people experiment with different 3d printing methods designed to enhance structural strength with angled layers and such.
@@ovrsurge4689 Slumping is an art form where they purposefully create layers from mostly glass, but I have seen metal done that way too.
@@Robert_McGarry_Poems You learn something new every day. I've seen slumped glass before as a kid but never knew it had a name.
@@Robert_McGarry_Poems wow...
@@ovrsurge4689 I've observed that a lot of tools seem to be taken up across different disciplines/trades. Almost as if a great new tool for one trade has been invented but in reality that tool is old new for the trade it came from. It seems obvious once we know. I find the slumping comment interesting for similar reasons. Having extensive experience in construction, 10 years or so in various types of concrete. The slump of the concrete was always critical to the work and result yet I'd not considered the art of mastering it. It was just something we did but the more technical the job the more critical every element of it became. Not many things I appreciate more than the mastery of any skill or craft. Definitely something to always aspire to. Always something to learn, often not from where we'd expect.
11:12 That is incredibly satisfying. You could sell this as a fidget device
I like how he explains what he does the same way every time. He tells us what suspendaslurry is every time I love it
I love that you can still see the 3d printer lines in the casting. That liquid ceramic stuff works great.
I used to work at an investment casting titanium foundry - we had to wear gloves pouring the wax patterns, cause the oil from our fingerprints would show up in the metal casting afterwards. They can pick up crazy details
When I saw that kind of thread on a bolt I wondered "What if a nut has it?"
Now I know, thanks.
"This scene is for my wife, it drives her crazy when I use her Pyrex for my projects." My, aren't you brave.
Pretty sure he meant that in a different way lol
is fascinating how the 3d printer layer lines are capture in the metal casting. Just to proof how awesome of a casting job it was. And the layers definitely adds character to the final product
Watching the nuts effortlessly slip down the threads is absolutely mesmerizing
nut watching usually is mate :)
It's a toy for the man who has everything. 😎🏍💨👍
@@Godric_71 Now that is a sales pitch
Low friction, hardly get any surface contact, but also that make it pretty must useless, a gimmick.
Same for me, I've never seen this before
The layer lines look cool on this one. It’s like dragon scales.
I was actually thinking about that!
i don't even "see" the layer lines. what are they?
They’re the lines from the printing process. If you don’t paint, fill them in or sand everything smooth, you can still see them after the pouring. If you can zoom in on the. Lack mold or the bronze finished piece you can see them.
Just discovering these vids in 2023! Really captivating, and reminded me of shop class in junior high where I had a somewhat visionary teacher that hooked us all in. Thanks!
The layer lines on the finished project just shows how good you are when you can capture something that small through the entire project.
When you accidentally screw in the bolt in the wrong hole…
And then it just keeps tightening as you try to loosen it
Or you screw it in the right hole and it keeps loosening at you try to tighten it
Ya I dont get the point this thing is completely worthless
@@Kevin-id5hx Correct. It's a novelty item, but it's still awesome. Bit like saying music is worthless because it can't fasten lumber effectively.
If you put one end on a swivel it can be used for a really nice strut type of thing
@@MrWhateva10 It's more like making a bolt out of chocolate and then saying that it's worthless because it can't fasten lumber effectively.
This guy reminds me of Grant Thompson so much! I miss Grant.
Same :(
Same though
Thats funny he does sound like the king of random
:(
I still remember when it happened. He was probably my favorite UA-camrs and it was one of the only times in the past few years that I've cried, rest in peace TKoR
I must say that is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen, double threaded bolts are somethings I've never thought about
I like the layer lines! It almost has a machined or brushed look.. great video!
Absolutely amazing! Might I suggest, in future, using vibration during the ceramic dipping, perhaps on future models with fine details? Applying a "neck massager" to that sprue funnel would certainly dislodge any errant air bubbles

How do we always end up in the same place?
Dog Woof woof
For future castings, you should either de-gas the slurry in a vacuum chamber, or squish the bubbles away in a pressure pot.
Using ultrasonic vibrations might also help to really get the slurry into every last nook and cranny and help coat the part uniformly.
Oh, and dehydrating your filament would be a good idea too, in case it has absorbed any water while in storage.
That is the coolest thing Ive seen man! The detail in those castings blew me away! Thanks for taking us along on these projects!
At first I was confused why there would be layer lines in a metal casting then I remembered you casted it from the 3d printed model. That's a damn good cast!
Those turned out gorgeous! I love when you can see print lines on a casting. It really shows how detailed a casting is.
Very impressed how clean the detail came out of the mold.
I have never seen such innovative experimental casting video. Wonderful.

"What kind of bolt doesn't have something to hold on to?" *carriage bolt enters chat*
Yeah but they have the square section at the top of the shank that bites
@@Critical_Stinking Bites in theory. unreliable in practice.
@@Critical_Stinking yeah, when i was little I was always so confused, then I worked with them
Hahaha, classic carriage bolt punchline
well yes but actually no but then in practice, yes but on paper, no.
We have these at work. We call it a 'levelwind'. It is about 6' long and 3" in diameter. Its mounted on a trailer. Instead of a nut on it there is a round pulley on it. A rope mounted on a reel goes through the pulley and we use the rope to pull in overhead powerlines from pole to pole. The pulley goes back and forth and keeps the rope evenly wound up on the reel. The slots criss crossing each other are razor sharp
Definitely the first time I ever heard of a dual threaded bolt
Thanks they are amazing
This was one of the absolute coolest videos I've seen in a long time. An awesome project in and of itself, amazing craftsmanship, well detailed and explained. This sole video has sold me on your work and your channel. Absolutely magnificent stuff, well well done.

@@robinson-foundry Will you be selling these online?
They're so...beautiful. I never imagined that something like this might turn out looking like a work of art.

8:00 Don't you love how that amazing pure bright yellow looks to the camera?
the forbidden egg
Just amazing! Love your work!!!
So satisfying watching the nuts work, love the work!
When I saw the movement at 11:40. I thought it would be cool to use that to create a vice with double moving chucks.
It would, not sure it would be that useful though.
Thets why right and left hand thread are made....
ua-cam.com/video/QBeOgGt_oWU/v-deo.html
you could make a vice like this, but since each jaw would always stay on it's according half of the main shaft, it makes no sense to make the shaft double-side threaded. just do one half of it left-sided and the other half right-sided.
The way he talks and the cadence he speaks in is so consistent it almost sounds like text-to-speak.
Absolutely fascinating. Well done!
They turned out great! Never seen this before! very cool!
I love how you've read your audience: it is not necessary to say "don't try this at home, you might set *everything* on fire, including yourself". :-)
I have to say that it warms my heart when someone gives a proper attribution to someone for their creation. Well done and good on you.
the sound of the metal nuts and screws is satisfying
They would make great for decorating a nice office desk, good job.
Wow. I never would've believed you could cast something that finely with insanely minimal hand work as far as casting goes. Great job dude.also impressed that the tolerance on each cast was so perfect that even the different shrinkage rates between the two metals didn't matter
The layer lines on the metal look absolutely insane!!! I love this project and the detail of these castings are far beyond what I’ve ever thought was possible
Finally an answer for the question i have been asking myself for a long time
The way you made these is the same way golf club heads are made.
But with wax instead of plastic. Very interesting!!
These castings have such amazing fidelity, I'm blown away! Keep them coming man.
I absolutely love the layer lines in the castings. It adds a lot of depth and a rustic quality. Really awesome channel! 👍
Amazing!!! That was sooo enjoyable and satisfying to watch!!!
That's incredible.
I'm not even into any of this but I enjoyed every second of this video, and I must appreciate your narration as well, good job and all the best
Wow, I've never seen the ceramic process before. That's crazy awesome!
those things glide! it's so satisfying
Always a win when the kettles already boiling in ambient ;)
I accidently made one of these on a CNC one day when there was a M04 in my program's thread finish pass instead of an M03. (M03 is spindle forward, M04 is spindle reverse)
Programming threading cycles manually?
Why not just run a threading canned cycle and designate a spring pass to finish up?
Yep I just use my old pipe threader hand crank and old engine oils. Aint no cnc or what have you. Solder and taps and dies
@@ricomock2 We use G32s for threading in 95% of our programs, it has its useful quirks for our applications. We have a separate, optional rethread for taking a finish pass which is ordinarily block deleted. It was in the optional rethread where the error was. I'm neither the programmer, nor do I even know if you can use a canned cycle for a g32, I've never seen it done. Our CAD software writes it out longhand, which, as far as I know, is the only way to use a G32. I may just be in an absolute paradise of blissful ignorance though.
When you make casts so clean that even the layers from the 3-D printed plastic show up in the end result! Amazing job
beautiful casting work
I think print lines r great details. it shows how detailed metal casting truly is
"this scene is for my wife"
Yes king, cast away 😭♥️
This is probably the coolest casting video I've ever seen. Great work!
Simply amazing
Thank you
Ceramic with lost PLA/wax castings always give the best results. I used to create my own Warhammer figurines with that =)
The layer lines in the threads are one of my favorite parts.
So this is how my grandparent's way to school is uphill both ways
wow that is absolutely amazing! awesome skills with the casting! youre quite good at this!
That was a lot of work. Facinating.
this is amazing. Love seeing the whole metal casting process.
That ceramic shell stuff is really interesting and that looks like a really cool project!
WoW you're a real Artisan, maybe I didn't catch it, I didn't catch I don't think you mentioned how many hours it took, seeing how good it ended up must have been very satisfying. I agree about the layer lines, it just adds to the detail and texture, good choice to leave them.
Clever work and wonderful skill!Enjoyed watching.
Missed opportunity to call it the impossi-bolt
Shut up and take my likes
What's impossible about it?
@@paulweston8184 Just saying that for the pun
@@paulweston8184 Because normally it's impossible for a bolt/nut to act like that... And it's sad that it has to be explained to you.
@@Bri-bn5kt Wonderful comment! And you are correct it’s sad something this amazing needs to be explained. I’m willing to bet he was the kid on the bus lickin the windows.
Damn, that casting indeed keeps insane details!
Amazing work
Unbelievably satisfying
I thought they were made by cnc, i’ve never seen a homemade casting as smooth as this one
Right most dudes on youtube use sand and foam this guy made ceramic molds
I'm irrationally offended by this and now feel the need to do this in a manual lathe for the pure spite
When you started playing around with spreading the nuts to turn the bolt at 1:47, ideas started popping into my head for a super-low profile scissor jack... Hmmmmmmmmm...
Awesome idea
How would it be different than a scissor jack with a normal bolt? Seems like it would be worse
@@benjaminchen4367 and harder to replace.
Hehehe spreading the nuts
@@benjaminchen4367 only one threaded nut on a typical scissor jack and the other end won't move linearly (can only rotate) so that friction keeps the bolt from spinning when under weight. A double threaded bolt could be shorter and get the double the vertical lift per rotation but it would take twice as much torque and some kind of brake or lock would need to be added to keep it from spinning freely under weight.
Thanks for the video. I'm mega impressed!
