It got through airport security and fits great in an overhead bin.

@willsee8391 8 лет назад

This guy I wish he was around when I was a kid because he even now inspires me to start pursuing what was always a big interest to me.. Fan for life!

@winterchocolate1246 10 лет назад

Imagine taking this to the airport and they are screaming "Is that a bomb maker!"

@JKPound 10 лет назад

Soooo am I the only one wondering what great inventions could come from the combined minds of Ben Heck and Adam Savage?

@Sphagetti__ 9 лет назад

No, Im to :)

@robertseaborn341 10 лет назад

I am a retired Industrial Electrician with a history of working on multi axis machining centers and robots. I am impressed!

@ectospasm 9 лет назад

I don't understand why you would want to spend $500+ on a printer when you could have something way better for a lot cheaper like this? This thing is awesome!

@bkpickell 9 лет назад

Jamie Gregory Because not everyone is an Engineer.

@little3rddegreeburns 9 лет назад

bkpickell if the whole purpose of having a 3d printer is to create/engineer things, then why would they want 3d printers if they aren engineers? They're just lazy in my opinion.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

We appreciate getting your advice on this! We love the heatbed because it works well.

@LegoBeto 6 лет назад

Now that is probably the most interesting printer anyone has made. How awesome is it that you could just fold it up and take it with you like it was a briefcase? Mind = blown!

@element14presents 12 лет назад

I didn't have any other those cool tools for most of modding career, so now that I do I love using them and it is hard to go back. Keep in mind that you don't have to use a case just like the one I use - be creative and stuff your project in whatever you think would be cool. We'll keep your input in mind - thanks for sharing!

@Monkeyb00y 10 лет назад

"At least it's moving around. That's good. Nothing is on fire." Always a good sign lol

@TheRecycledToys 11 лет назад

This has got to be the most incredible thing I have ever seen on RU-vid ! so creative and printing the parts you need (LOVE IT) You made my next endeavor.

@lorenzo501 10 лет назад

would be awesome if there was a step-by-step tutorial to build a 3d printer like this with directions where to buy parts that are needed ofcourse..

@simonwatson7946 6 лет назад

i agree. this is the coolest 3d printer. i want to build it!

@NavarreBartz 6 лет назад

This is one of the best documented folding printers I've seen: github.com/EmmanuelG/Foldarap . Not exactly the same, but similar idea.

@Haggispk 12 лет назад

i want to see a helmet with a HUD that is hooked up to some gloves that recognizes what you are holding then showing you what it is on your HUD. example you pick up a pop can and it can tell you how much soda is left. and since this is a definite halo build, if you pick up a gun it will tell you what model of gun you are holding and how much ammo is left in the mag. i want to see how good you really are Ben. DO YOU EXCEPT THIS CHALLENGE?

@Mrivera61 8 лет назад

Very good build. I'm surprised you don't market that design. I bet someone would be interested in purchasing it.

@benchya113 10 лет назад

you are genius man

@be2Gee 10 лет назад

It will fit in a overhead bin on an airplane very nicely, but my guess is short time after showing up on an airport with this briefcase you will be on an airplane down to Guantanamo Bay :) Very talented you are indeed. I don't know who you are but you're that kinda guy that could spontaneously innovate very useful stuff, and get rich doing what you love doing :) Great video btw.

@HerringUSNA 12 лет назад

Love your printer Ben. There are lots of minor changes I would make to get that printer doing "high res" printing, but bravo on the portability piece. Very nice!

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Beer placement is important to consider with any design!

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Thanks for the project suggestion.

@igorschmidlapp6987 8 лет назад

An idea... take 2 photographic equipment hard cases (ex., Xit XTHC40 or similar)with desired dimensions , cut matching openings in the bottoms to allow print bed pass-thru (could chamfer the opening corners for strength), then attach them bottom to bottom (pop rivets, or such). Easy peasy... ;-). Might have to extend "feet" a bit on standing edge to get lids to lie flat on "butterfly" style opening. The cases are relatively inexpensive (all metal will be more, of course), and found on Amazon. That's my plan, anyway...

@TheZarion007 11 лет назад

WOW you seriously are the Holy Grail of amazing portable devices!

@element14presents 12 лет назад

It did get through security! They didn't even swab it for explosives residue or whatever that is they do.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Glad you like it.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Thanks for the idea.

@kevbriga 11 лет назад

You already know this, but, you're awesome! Some people just live, but you thrive!

@ElGeFe 11 лет назад

You work on the X-Y plane, Z axis gives you the layers. So moving forward/backward is the same as up/down on the 2D X-Y plane you would have on a paper graph. It is all a manner of perspective.

@Prusa3D 12 лет назад

Really cool that you use my PCB heatbed :-) But if you want to print abs, you cant support the heatbed PCB with acrylic underneath :-(

@alexshi8583 10 лет назад

imagine u use a 3d printer to print a 3d printer lol

@semir2607 10 лет назад

3d printer babies

@MrTjas1 10 лет назад

A friend of mine knows a guy that actually done that! He was able to print a fully functional 3d printer (minus 1 or 2 little circuit boards, just because it's not very easy printing circuit boards with a 3d printer!) using a larger scaled version of itself.

@jerryfaldetta 10 лет назад

It's called a reprap

@geekretroworld 10 лет назад

That's the whole concept of the Rep Rap check reprap.org/wiki/RepRap

@goaliedude32 10 лет назад

3d printception

@chrismofer 6 лет назад

this was one of the coolest ben hacks back int he day- and now that we live in the gearbest

@MrManboobie 11 лет назад

LOL- really adds to the creative inspiration of 3D printing.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Thanks!

@celticsox4837 10 лет назад

I think you could also add a laptop case to it. You could also start a kick starter than find a manufacturing company and mass create this to sell on a website you could make for a market place and 3d model database.

@BlackRoseCloud 10 лет назад

it would be awesome to use a raspberry pi and a small screen built inside so you always do have a computer with it though thats given all the software can run on arm linux lol

@rbisping 11 лет назад

note: if you put a aluminum or other material build surface over the heated bed it will protect your pcb and spread the heat a little better.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

We'll keep that in mind as we plan future episodes.

@SimonflowersNellie 10 лет назад

Wow Ben should make these and sell them!! He's a genius

@wi11y1960 11 лет назад

So where can we find the blue prints to construct this gem? Also a resource list of what parts used would be very helpful. Or was this more for the plausibility rather than the masses reconstructing?

@93DavidJ 10 лет назад

I can only imagine getting this through airport security for that overhead box XD

@pratherat 11 лет назад

This is the coolest 3D printer I've seen yet!

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Time mainly. It would be cool to build at least a part of it, just to see if it would work.

@HerringUSNA 12 лет назад

XL belts are not traditionally for linear motion. The latest fad is using GT2 belts; they in theory will help keep backlash to a minimum :)

@junglerider007 11 лет назад

Your a super cool dude! thank you for sharing your ideas and information to help budding hobbyist and electronic tinkerers.

@1835msd 11 лет назад

I'd love to see someone try to get that device on an airplane. The looks on tsa would be awesome!

@MrGoatflakes 11 лет назад

Thanks! What's the dimensional accuracy? And how do you know how much the x and z are moving as much as you think they are? Do they have sensors or just work off how many times the sprocket that drives the belts goes around.

@op4l4 11 лет назад

This is the most awesome thing i've ever seen !

@sirp0p0 2 года назад

Crazy that I've got a sub-$300 printer whirring next to me and there was almost no setup compared to when they were like in the video. So cool

@ZopteY 11 лет назад

Loawl he found space to put a thing to hold his beer! love that guy

@paulestep5478 11 лет назад

where did you get that glass plate? that is awesome.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Seriously, it went through security with no problems - I was surprised by this though!

@Rptynan 11 лет назад

Very nice build, did the airport security not have a problem with it being brought on the plane?

@gokusaid 12 лет назад

since this is "portable" can you add this to that robot luggage, portable cnc router, that ruggedized PS3/360 combo, with the portable work bench, and the supper can cooler. Now that'll be a challenge for you

@adnanrizmi6705 8 лет назад

hey Ben, I have a cheap 3d printer, but I have problems with the driver. Can you make a video on how to modify it to make it programmable on a raspberry pi?

@Adversaryan 10 лет назад

I wish you were my neighbor Ben heck. Coolest guy ever!!!

@The1richman4u 10 лет назад

That was so freaknig AWESOME!!! Ben's my idol. I now worship at the alter of Heckamania.

@RBAERO 5 лет назад

You can shake the drawings of this portable 3d printer?

@QuaVerTelevision911 11 лет назад

Another idea! Because people have problem scanning shiny objects how about dipping them in water and then using some sort of mister that shoots out corn starch to coat them

@sameeralblushi7600 6 лет назад

Ben you are a freaking genius

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Yup. That model was a pain to assemble. It was for Lost Pinball.

@OutDoorsMan1342 11 лет назад

hey Ben just some info for you to share you already know that imperal thread are rea as (number of teeth - per - inch e.g. ) 15 TPI however metric is read a little differnt its read as metric bolt size 10mm AKA M10 then tread pitch 1 or 1.5 so in metric for e.g. 10 x 0.5 / 10 x 1 is classed as a fine thread where as 10 x 1.5 /10 x 2 is a corse thread so 10x2 is 10mm bolt with a thread pitch of 2mm per thread. the thread pitch is how wide the thread is from 1 peak to the next have fun CYA

@warywolfen 11 лет назад

My guess is it doesn't matter very much. In the U.S, there's a better selection of components with SAE threads, but metric parts are readily available, too. Outside the U.S, I'd guess that metric might be best.

@improprietary1 12 лет назад

If you use threaded rods for movement is it easier on yourself to use metric threaded rods or imperial threaded rods?

@TechyTechz 12 лет назад

This was just AWESOME! Totally entering to win!

@harambeexpress 11 лет назад

I bet you could modify a Morgan and get a far better result. Smaller and easier to calibrate (less likely to get out of calibration during transit).

@seeminglyRANDOM88 10 лет назад

Do you by chance sell these printers and if so how much? Also, what was the final cost of the build when you got it to the final iteration?

@akm738 11 лет назад

amazing so can you say what the printer resolution is? and how about you print a clear model using your printer

@torque.tornado 12 лет назад

Awesome build! Well done. Discovered your show with this episode and love it!

@dungeonsdoodads4306 8 лет назад

Laser cutting the millimeters onto the bed is genius. I wonder why I never see that built in. lol

@kenbell8848 6 лет назад

That's so cool and I wanna build one. Would the plans be available at some point?

@haydenberndt4835 11 лет назад

in engineering terms, an area is depicted by the use of mm^2, for ben's purpose, he would have been better to go 200^2mm to depict that he meant it as a single measurement. or just use notation and go 40x10^3

@mightylink65 7 лет назад

"Fits in an overhead bin" I doubt they would even let you take that on an airplane, they would just think its a bomb.

@mjuarez2099 11 лет назад

wow really cool. amazing. how much did you spend in materials???

@Dragon90815a 10 лет назад

When's the commercial version ready?

@ivanpolchenko 11 лет назад

can you post plans for this printer? also can you build a diy laser cutter/engraver?

@Brutaltronics 12 лет назад

Can you make something using the new OUYA platform? would be pretty cool to see that.

@ButcherOrge 12 лет назад

Excellent video. Well played sir.

@yzorg 11 лет назад

in my opinion its not more complicated than assembling a Lego technics kit.. if you dont have the machines needed, go to a FabLab for all material cuttings and for getting to know people that will help you building your own 3d-printer

@Taffy7974 7 лет назад

This is quite good idea. Might try this

@antontonybekker 11 лет назад

No, 200mm^2 = √200 * √200 Unless your talking about 200mm * 2 which would be 400mm. If he was talking in terms of dimensions he would've said '200 by 200', area is '200 squared' as in the total area is 200mm

@brotschuh 8 лет назад

that looks pretty stabil for mobile printer. well done !

@rbela76 11 лет назад

I'm sure you meant 200 cm2 ( 20 cm * 20 cm) ( 200 mm2 is less than a square inch...) but looks great though!

@simonwatson7946 6 лет назад

This is cool! I want to make this myself. Where can i get instructions? is it open source?

@chaz706 11 лет назад

They're already working on this as we speak!

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Did you see the Kinect Glove we made?

@martinhavshjsrensen253 6 лет назад

Mmmmmm... Real nice thinkings! Thumbs up boss!

@homerelesperance2857 11 лет назад

That's innovating, to make something less bulky and more compatible! :)

@ThePcm81 11 лет назад

no. 200mm^2 is an area of 10mm x 20mm or 14.1mmx14.1mm etc. 200mm by 200mm is 40,000mm^2

@chaseme81871 8 лет назад

how have i known about this channel for so long???!!!! sweet.

@zachfosterWeeklyVlog 7 лет назад

only thing i would have done differently is keep it computer only but keep the home functions, packing mode and of course off/on on toggles

@1foxtrot70 11 лет назад

Ben - What is your source for the heater on the print head nozzel? What was the price on it?

@shahbokhari 11 лет назад

Amazing work! Does it work with Mac Computers?

@n8guy 12 лет назад

This is ridiculously cool. I'm curious about total costs.

@element14presents 12 лет назад

Done and done. You can find more info on the single handed controllers at benheck.com.

@kitizz548 11 лет назад

Beautiful

@gameplayandreview 5 лет назад

Can you upload a Series of DIY videos for this Build?

@AliciaBurrito 12 лет назад

This guy needs more subscribers =D

@manofsan 11 лет назад

How about making a shredder that shreds bottles and other plastic stuff, so that you can reprocess them into filament for use with your 3D printer?

@saigescopes 10 лет назад

hi ben can you please list where to get all the products from.thanks for your time

@TheCarWashChannel 10 лет назад

How much would this cost?

@klaudius9 12 лет назад

At the end of the video (I did not watch it all) I was shocked at the printer folding into a briefcase. OMG

@mklmjh1 11 лет назад

200mm by 200mm is 200mm^2, what you mean to say is 200mm by 200mm by 200mm or 200mm^3, which isnt the dimensions this is made with, its 200m^2 width and depth and 100mm height
