Thank you so much! That really means a lot coming from you. You have no idea how many of your PC vids I binged while working on this and other projects so thanks for helping pass the time with some awesome content :)
Would be cool to see this filmed in high speed (about 1050 fps?) then played back at 30 so that gravity appears to be acting realistically at full scale.
Beautiful, impressive, such commitment. Also, the impression of being "too fast" is a great lesson in physics: You need enough kinetic energy (speed) to overcome the potential energy (altitude) of the highest point on the track. But potential energy scales linear in altitude while kinetic energy scales with the square of velocity. So, a rollercoaster with a fourth of the maximum altitude would still require half the speed. (Probably easier to follow the other way round: If you build the rollercoaster four times as large, you only need twice the speed on a track that is four times as long.)
The final result is amazing! This video really puts into perspective how much time and effort goes into projects like this and I must say the hard work payed off. I'm looking forward to your next project, its going to have to be really good to top this! I would love to see a model like this with functional blocks and multiple trains, maybe that's and idea for the future...
Thanks a ton man! I got some ideas that should be able to top it, but it's gonna take a lot more time 😅 functional blocks, multiple trains, and a working transfer track are all on the list! Lot easier said than done though lol
This is a major accomplishment! In every way you look at it! Design + printing + accuracy of print + quality of print + complexity + the shear beauty of it all.. and on top of that.. it works!!! Beautiful job! One of the very best I have ever seen!
amazing !!!! Im working with a person who dose 3d printing and design atm, hes adjusting the sizes of the original 3d printed knex roller coaster car esseberlys to fit larger bearings, they worked well on the prototype and the larger bearing gained a good amount of speed the goal is 15mm bearings and also to have 3d printed custom trains that look like real coaster trains.
Subbed! This is incredible! I spent years inside of nolimits as a kid and seeing what you were able to do with it is amazing. Looks like my CR-10 is gonna have some new work to do!
@@3d_coasters oh I mean to release the STL or OBJ files for a small price, on Etsy or elsewhere? Or free. Free would be cool too, but I want to support this!
Insane model! Respect! Such an achievement, it looks amazingly sexy. It must be such an amazing feeling to see it physically all come together and the train completing its first laps in like 2 days after all those months of hard work! You earned that feeling ;).
Impressive, a beautiful result. It appeared that you designed and machined a base with sockets to index the posts, which seemed to be interesting in and of itself and a nice final touch to bring it all together. Loved to see Fusion at work as always. Great job.
It's incredible how solid this thing is man doesn't look cheaply made but made from the same material as the companies who make rollercoaster models out of plastic but there's look cheap and and shakes too much
Ok yep, that's absolutely incredible. I really hope you can find someone to pitch this to, so it can be made a buyable set. You have no idea how much I would pay to build this. Is everything being controlled automatically, or are you manually running everything? The only tiny gripe I have is that the trains are three-across seating, I think two or four-across seating would be more appealing. But that really is a tiny gripe, you've done an amazing job!
@@3DPrinterAcademy Very true, gotta love a perfect heartline! Maybe they should also make each seat adjustable in height due to the variation in the height of the riders, lol. I mean I guess it's not like there aren't any 3-across coasters in operation... Zamperla...
Thank you!! I'd love to get this buyable somehow, but the logistics just aren't there unfortunately with how much time and manual labor there is to get it all together. Everything is run manually right now too, but I'd like to get it automatic for the next one - my coding just isn't quite good enough right now lol I get what you're saying with the 3 across too, but like 3D Printer Academy said, the heartening that middle seat would be pretty cool! Plus I think it would be sick to have an actual 3 across train, rather than Zamperla's eurofighterish thunderbolt models
I used to spend hours trying to bend and warp the Lego train tracks into Lego rollercoasters. It's crazy to see something like this manifested to perfectly.
Took me long enough huh 😂 still planning on sticking to Insta for most updates, but figured bigger stuff can go here. Thanks a ton though dude, really appreciate it! 👏
It’s short simple and to fast to even understand why it’s even going through the layout and it even is a copy of another coasters layout so it’s sucks balls
This is fucking amazing. I love this and back as a kid if I had NL2 and a 3D printer and the ability to convert over my room would have been filled with these. Nice!
Got the track shape of a B&M, the launch system acting like an S&S Thrust Air, a very Intamin looking layout and block setup, and the trains that are a mix between a Gerstlauer infinity, Zamperla thunderbolt, and a B&M Hypercoaster
Daaaaaaaang. There isn't a way in a million years I could design this. Speaking of, is there any way I could get the stl's? Or are those private? Regardless, its a great build and I can tell you worked very hard on it.
Ah this is great! it's something I've wanted to do forever but never pursued enough. I always thought a model rollercoaster set would be so damn cool! to be able to buy all the modular parts like a hornby set or something.
just thought, you have a working launch, for your next build or a future one, try to recreate strealth, accelerator or king da ka. would be cool to see a 4-6 feet tall recreation
The negative g forces if built in real life would murder bodies of flesh. Sick as hell build though the thing is rad. I just don't see anyone insuring these blueprints lol
Dude! This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. I shall live vicariously through you, haha. I made a lot of knex coasters and was trying to make a 12 ft tall roller coaster using conduit for rails, would have cost like 10k lol, glad I didn’t get farther than sculpting the car chassis and paneling out of bondo and foam core to be cast in fiber glass, lol. If I had a 3D printer when I was a kid I know I would have done the same thing.
