Motors Used - 2x iflight 5208-200T for the PITCH and ROLL axis (I actually ordered 180T's but they sent 200T's instead, but I don't think it matters too much) + 1x iflight 8017-120T for the YAW axis. Cheers.
Incredible stuff, the threads from the waxed bolts is pure genius! Will steal that idea. Keep up the good work, your gimbal looks better than a lot of commercial stuff.
+jackosmeister Thanks Jacko! ! Glad you enjoyed the vids, it's been slow progress but should have next video installment pretty soon, have a great day!!
Your attention to detail is impressive. I humbly want to help you with your "hole drill thingy" or what you said and geek out with you. The hole tool is called a Hole Saw and the blade is exactly manufactured like a jig saw blade, a reciprocating blade in that it requires a hard metal for the teeth, but a spring elastic metal for the base for flexibility. It is produced from laser welded (today, not sure how they did it for your older version) HSS weld to spring steel to provide optimal wear resistance to the saw teeth and a flexible body for fatigue resistance. Whew...
Thanks fletch!! Hope you are doing good! This project is turning into a bit of a monster, but I'm liking it alot, the problem solving is oddly quite enjoyable. Have a great day!!
Wow... What museum are you going to put it in when you are done? Amazing work. I feel I should give you a ton a credit on your video work as well. It is fantastic. To juggle such a 'tedious' project, with all of the attention to detail, while maintaining superb camera angles and capturing the build in such detail is just great to see! And great editing on top of it all! You, sir get an A+. Subscribed and sharing! -Kenny
+Kenny Tilney Thanks so much Kenny!! So glad to hear your kind words on the film work. It does take a large amount of time indeed and esp tricky when resin is everywhere, but I find it a lot of fun. Just waiting for my decent mic to arrive so the audio will be greatly improved. Sorry for the delays in the getting the next video up, I just started a new job and time has gone out the window, but I'll get there. thanks again Kenny!!!
Nice idea for the bolt holes on the CF discs! I've been wondering how I could do something along those lines (although not for photography...) Thank you for the great video series!
wowwwwwwww hell watched the first one and then i wanting leaving until i had seen the rest man I'm lost for words just love it such talent I'm subscribing
After mixing the epoxy I dip my finger in the resin and slide the strand through it a few times. There is footage of this process in build vid 1. Thanks!!
Kick ass build bro. Can't wait too see it in action! Are you going to use the simple BGC board, or something else..... rasberry pi?? I was also trying to work out where bouts you are in NZ. Ohope??
+Hilton Goldsmith Thanks Hilton! Yes I have the simple BGC board (Alexmos original from Latvia), just trying to get my head around the layout but Iv soughted it out now I think. I do alot of my vid work in Onemana Coromadel, thats where the beach is. A lovely place where I would love to be all the time but alas work is in Auckland. Thanks again!!
Immense work and the final piece turned out brilliantly. You're doing John Britten proud! Can I ask what method you use for soaking the carbon tow without over saturating it?
+Paul Whelan Thanks for the kind words. I squeeze the resi through the tow between my thumb and forefinger that has a bit of resin on it. Both forces the resin around the fibers and gets rid of any excess. Cheers!
Really nice work dude! You would love the prototyping videos on Dan Gelbart's RU-vid channel I reckon, a really unique take on precision and efficiency. I watched them all before googling the guy and finding out he's a frickin' billionaire.
stop doing things like this. Im getting caught up in all the excellency and not doing my job.. this really amazing. How many hours did you use to make the damn thing ? and man, it would cost a million dollars to buy
Ha ha thanks Thomas!! Thanks for kind words. This, without doubt, was the hardest thing I've built, my brain just kept hurting. Waaaay too many hours were spent that I have lost count. In addition, I knew that when I finished that I would find a better way to build a part and so it can be never ending. But I'm super pleased that this is built and actually functioning better than I hoped, very pleased. Thanks so much once again for your kind words and have a great day!!
+Power Supply I used 2x iflight 5208-200T for the PITCH and ROLL axis (I actually ordered 180T's but they sent 200T's, but I don't think it matters too much) + 1x iflight 8017-120T for the YAW. Cheers.
