Making a UFO // Mynt3D Professional 3D Pen + DJI Mavic Pro 

Devin is really handling the quarantine well

Roswell UFO incident, 1947, colorized.

Love the willy wonka reference

It's not a failure. It's learning how not to do things.

What you're calling "failure", I'm calling "glorious." 😁 Seriously, thanks for posting this.

That intro is a 11/10

Crazy Devon is favorite Devon.

Can you plese add a text that translates the lenghts/weights in KG instead of BaldEagles per McDonalds?

I KNEW you were an alien! ;) Great video, Devin.

Devin - you are a workhorse. And did I mention, that you are my favorite maker!!

11:15 0.562 lbs = 0,255 kg for people who don't use imperial. 12:30 RIP 14:50 Maybe make the legs heavier so it's not so top heavy?

LOL That intro tho.....on point.

It's been forever! So glad to see a new vid from you!

Wow! You posted twice in about a week i hope you see this cuz i love your videos!!😊😊

Make the Millennium Falcon! It has a much lower center of mass, please!!

LMAO! The Intro took me out 😂

That’s really nice how you just Laughed after it crashed. Great job man!!

Nice video, why not aliens? Nice Pen, and I love that CPE filament. Really cool concept, thanks for sharing.

You mentioned that the UFO was getting top-heavy, but the instability was likely from a larger moment of inertia. Having the rings so far from the center of gravity causes it to over-compensate, which is why people don't get these problems when mounting accessories close to the center of the drone. The Mavic is designed with its PID values tuned to its moment and mass, but with something like a race quad you can adjust those values and stabilize the flight. All the same, great showcase of the Mynt3D Pro!

It actually moved like an UFO in those early 20th centur black and white movies!

You’re literally the best!

Welcome to the world of RC crashes :D

My guess would be that the clipping propeller caused the actual crash. The propeller clipping was slowing it down which was also making it drift backwards.

That intro legitimately shook me to my core.

Great video! I love drones and UFOs! Can’t wait for build #2!

Another fun to watch video.

Should've used glow in the dark filament and fly it at night

I'm glad to hear that the pen earned your stamp of approval, since I got the exact same model for my birthday a couple of days ago, on the strength of your review of the Super. It's my first 3D pen and I'm loving it so far!

All I can say is that was a great attempt! Good job.

Og Wonka ftw

10:04 Cute...

Hahahahahahaha im lovin this

This is awesome. Dude, SO much work but its great.

Printing the rings would definitely make it sturdier.

I'm very glad that the UFO is the only thing that got hit, propellers + skin = stitches.

Devin, you're the coolest.

that was a beautiful intro

"It can carry at most 2 pound. I know that doesn't sound like much" I mean, it's about $4 AUD. that can buy you some chocolate... or 2 bottles of milk

Incredible Work 👍

With drones you also have to consider that if you put something that drags with the air moved by the propeller it is going to increase the load put on those motors to fly. In this case the weight added wasn't a lot but there probably was a lot of drag with air and the drone couldn't handle it.

This guy never give up! never afraid to share his failure , keep it up !

Thank you so much Davin! I just bought a mynt and I'm so excited, I can't wait to make some things with it

That intro though haha

Wonderful Wonka!

26th comment! I love your channel! You inspired me to buy a 3d printer a few years ago... Now I have 5... You sucked me into this alternate 3d printer universe! I LOVE this!

year 3012: engineers: We need more reload for 3D pens!

Amazing work👍

Love it. Thanks Devin

You should send that intro in as your audition to be on Stranger Things!

I have a Mavic Mini that is made to be flown indoors, but it's still kinda scary.

Have you thought about making a vacuum table and a ufo mold. A plastic shell would be lightweight and you could cut vent holes for airflow.

the super 3d pen is my only 3d pen the only reason i have it is ur vid thanks :))

Print surfaces (1 layer thick, no top/bottom, ~10% star or triangle infill, 200% extrusion width), bend, glue, repeat.

As a drone nut I found this funny and awesome! Great vid

Thanks for the conversion into the other imperial unit ;)

I really love your website 😍😍😍

Cool! I gotta get me a 3d pen & try something like this with my Mavic Pro :-) Very nice concept Devin

Awesome!

That is super surprising that Myt3d worked for you. I bought a classroom set and even with 2nd generation pens still got some problems. Glad they worked for you Devin. Keep making cool stuff!

dat intro tho!

petition to bring back pegboards!

Your Content Are Awesome i Mean I like It

11:31 That was the sound of inevitability :P

I would like to see a fully/ mostly printed version. I feel like the modeling would take forever but it would be so worth in the end for the balance issues

This guy deserves way more subs because his ideas are always so great

In this episode of make anything Devin trys mushrooms he found in the woods

Devin, you ALWAYS put a smile on my face when I watch your videos, amazing work, and ideas! keep going! Love your channel

Me coming to this video expecting a traditional review of a 3D pen: 👁️✨👁️ Me leaving after this wild ride: 👾👾👾

How about 3D printing a jig of some kind to speed up the welding process? Especially for those trusses. Hard to describe what I'm thinking... but imagine starting with a flat triangle. The triangle would have 3 holes, one near each corner. Now extrude that triangle out into 3D... say 2 or 3cm. Now insert into the 3 holes, your 3 filaments for the truss structure. The jig holds them in place, and speeds up the welding process.

Love the covid cut

Great project. Must be frustrating spending so much manual time making something then having it destroyed in seconds. I think using the 3D printer combined with the 3D pen you could build some structures efficiently. Maybe designing some of those 3D printed sub structures then combining with the 3D pen might work out well.

Aight yeah fine I’ll buy the pen

Maybe use your wood cnc to cut the shapes you need quickly, then trance over those shapes with the 3d pen? You'll get a lot more precise shapes and hopefully balance. Fantastic video by the way, the amount of work you put into these projects is insane!

I would think that dome's biggest problem is changing the airflow to the props, not just that it makes it top heavy.

U could 3D print a single shell vase mode dome for the next version of ufo

Looks amazing

Unless you can tune the drone's firmware , I suspect you'll suffer instability if you change the drone's angular momentum i.e. any weight that is spread out from the centre . So, try to minimize the height and width of your saucer.

Nice 👍

That was amazing!! Love your ideas! I was also wondering if you could do a orange VW Beatle?

Omg, the intro - that was out of character. lol

t would be cool if you could add a little alien guy inside. It was a fun project tho.

Put a bunch of LEDs on it and fly it at low altitudes to mess with people.

Oh I felt that too. But for a moment there it was epic. And you got the footage. I think mylar around an open cone "dome" might give you the effect you want. Just mylar sheeting on the outside, but not under or above, so the blades keep going. Then there's the issue of wobble. your rig was too flexible and bent too much, bending into the blades and destabilizing the flight. A central post up through the dome from the body of the drone?

Great job! I would build from the drone up don’t add any extra legs and make it smaller with a little alien inside the dome. Like an outer circle ring above the blades then a dome. Hope that makes sense lol. Have fun making!

I would personally have made the dome on top a bit shorter, or more of a half oval (I forget the name of it since it isn't an egg but more of a skinny sphere in a sense) since the dome on top probably made the filament bend down towards the blades and was the downfall. Maybe trusses in the main body (avoiding the blades obviously) might help prevent the filament from getting shredded. I hope this helps and best wishes!

Hello. To anyone reading this, stay safe, wear a mask and stay socially distanced. *FIRST*

My gut feeling is it was the structure interfering with the Mavics obstacle avoidance sensors, that’s why it gradually got more and more unstable. If it’s possible to go to a more manual flight mode perhaps with a bit more room (10ft instead of 8ft lol) you’ll be fine!

Hey, nice work, a creative mind inspiring others at the time experiments it self. Have a great day, new suscriber.

I think a mustang p51 drone frame would look cool. Airbags has a drone plane and but it's a small one.

Actually a great demonstration w/ some handy tricks and also gives a pretty good idea in general of what's possible with these glorified sorta 'hot glue guns'. And love your 'focus'... lotsa folks have great ideas, but often lack the necessary 'tenacity'. BTW, maybe start with a larger dome wide enuff to enclose the blades, and then add a slightly larger 'disk shape' w/ landing gear _below_ it. Cheers!

Hey Devin! I have 2 questions for you. 1. What do you think your easiest puzzle is? 2. What colors of matte filiment did you use for the Neapolitan color scheme on one of your puzzles?

Maybe add some counterweight to the bottom?

"why not aliens" thats my new answer to anything someone asks me

Nice video even you could have made an alien

What if you use thin tissue paper or rice paper to add color and opaqueness to the dome and ship body instead of filament? It could keep the weight down. As I type this, I'm guessing it would block the airflow to the drone, but I don't know enough about this stuff to know for sure.

Maybe make a flying cookie !!

This explained what i see last night, 2020 is not that bad.

sanago is 3Dpen master

Make a video on how to make ball socket molt from sponge

Wow 👏 this is amazing i imagine it took a long time. I had a drone and it flew off lol never found it again. Great work with 3d pen.
