Building a Real Life Transforming Iron Man Gauntlet 

Great idea!

You too, please let me know when you finish your project. I would love to see the end result!

Thank you! Love the metal cast mando plate, very cool

Thank you! I plan to make the boots next, I’ll look into making the full suit like this

The best that you know of :)

It’s probably not the clearest, feel free to email me any questions! I had some issues with the footage for assembling the hand pieces and forearm covers, but I’m gonna be out of town for a couple weeks. Wish I could’ve got the full video up before I left!

thank you! And I I’m working on that idea now!

@@tommytech2 thought you might already! So very amazing to see this. Really well done

Thank you! If you want a how to build list with everything itemized, it’s available under my cults3d for free. The fit check file has them

@@tommytech2 ok thanks!!

Can you also make the iron man MK4/6 variant of this transformable gauntlet?

Since you are making the MK3 if you have the time to do so

I have all the parts for the mk6, gonna fry and make a more detailed tutorial this week. And yes I can look into trying to make a mk4/6 variant as well

Alright

The links to the STLs and all related files are in the video description

Im working on it 😅

Ninjaflex TPU Chatgpt helped me a lot! I have, current idea is a reed switch in the forearm that activates once you put it on the stand

Thanks! Unfortunately for me it would be a significant amount of money, this takes me hours to build and I am currently spending my time with new designs so I don’t have the bandwidth

@@tommytech2 what are you bulding next? Im subbing to support smaller channel like you! You got some real talent hope u can get rich from it and dont forget the guy who commented and inspired you haha

Sorry to hear that! The big problem with screw holes is that people have printers calibrated differently, so the tolerances can be different as well. Two fixes you could try are to use larger screws or a filler material to thicken up the screw holes. I’ll have to see pictures to see what’s causing an alignment issue with the wing servos, that’s the first I’ve heard of that problem I’d recommend taking off the top hand piece and testing the servos individually, they could be misaligned or another hardware issue could be causing that. If you want some more in depth help, feel free to email me at tommytech222@gmail.com

I’m out of town so I can’t post it now, but if you go to the test fitting link on cults3d I included the how to build guide for free download. It has all the links to what I used to make it. Filament wise, you can make the whole gauntlet with less than 1 kg, as long as you use mostly organic supports

I would recommend trying out some basic servo projects first. This is a bit of an investment for the entire build, so start with something smaller to see if it’s something you enjoy doing

Hey elijah! Please email me at tommytech222@gmail.com and send me some pictures/videos so I can know more of what you’re talking about. I’m more than happy to try and help you through the issues

@@tommytech2actually figured it out but thanks

I have a design on my cults 3d that is much simpler and resizable. It is the same gauntlet but just the missile cover is motorized

It’ll prob work

@@tommytech2Okay great thanks

Email me some pics at Tommytech222@gmail.com, I can try and help you debug it from there

You mean the right angle headers? I got them specifically to give my wrist more room

They are included in the how to build guide. You can find that on the fit check file download on my cults3d

@@tommytech2 ok thanks also im trying to buy the 120pcs dupont wire kit but i live in uk so the only ones i can get are 20cm is that ok?

Yes there is a slight gap to compensate for slop in movement. Feel free to warp them as needed

@@tommytech2 are you sure the brackets are ok as they are or do they need sizing? I am having trouble fitting them and making sure everything closes snug and the servo arms do not fit in the brackets and I need to cut them down

@@tommytech2 actually I think there's a problem with the mesh of the top right clamper. Can you have a look because even the slicer is making holes where there should be any

Email me! Tommytech222@gmail.com

I will post an updated video in the future! Email me at tommytech222@gmail.com and I may be able to help you with your issue

Sure thing! Most of it is fastened with m3 screws. The electronics are fastened with m2 screws, as well as the repulsor light holder in the hand piece and the flexible wrist piece to the top clampers. The retainer clip in the hand piece that clamps the flexible piece is also m2 screws, and I think that’s it. You should be able to tell by the size of the holes, but sometimes it’s a bit hard. Hopefully this helps for the time being, I’ll update the file when I get a chance

I’m confused on how to screw the top clamper hinges in. The wing servo blocks it and wouldn’t a screw fall out after you operate it a bunch?

Yep check the description!

Yeah I could do commission on those. Email me at tommytech222@gmail.com for Inquiries

That would be sick. You think people would support a patreon for the suit? I can’t afford that on my own dime

Easy peasy 😅

Get the models, how to build guide, and code here: cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/3d-printed-iron-man-gauntlet-fully-transformable-and-interactive-mk-42-inspi-tommytech2 Make sure it fits first!

bro, if u bought model, can u share with me?

I know right, it’s very daunting to think about 😂
