• The Truth Conveyor UNI...
This project has tested my engineering and design skills on so many different levels. For starters, this is the largest physical sculpture I have made to date. I also challenged myself to go beyond 3D printing, incorporating laser cut acrylic and wood, some AI generated art, as well as a new (to me) epoxy coating that gives 3d prints a smooth, finished appearance.
There are 5 months of design work, thousands of hours of 3d printing, and an undisclosed amount of money sunk into this project (it’s Canadian dollars, so it doesn’t count, right?)
With 2 fully functional conveyor belts, a 2 degree of freedom robot arm, 2 microcontrollers, some blood, some sweat, and I hate to admit it, a couple of tears, I am proud to present to you what I am officially calling ‘The Truth Conveyor’
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I have enjoyed making it. That’s a lie, it was a grind. But worth it. - Věda a technologie
Incredible. I would never had the patience or brain to bring something like this to life. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg you guys are such similar CZcamsrs! I love the 3d printing community and it’s great to see small channels grow ❤
Really appreciate it! Of course, been following your work since the beginning, always amazing 👊🙌
:O
You guys should Collab!!❤
JBV creative + unnecessary inventions = amazing Collab-you should collab together🤝🤝🤝
Amazing. I really love the idea behind this one, and it's so cool to finally see the entire machine working.
Thank you! Appreciate you watching :)
hi jkbrickworks
I can see this being a part of some modern art exhibition
That would be pretty cool!
I can totally see a life size version taking an art prize
@@Mr-J... na a banana someone left out will get the award
Have been following this project since the beginning, amazing work. As a 3D printing and robotics enthusiast this is inspiring.
same
Appreciate it!! Thank you 🙏
Me as well
look past spelling and grammer what do you see?
Anyone can be a critic
I wonder if it would work better if you added a slight curve to the wall/sign at the top. It would be cool to see this in a museum!
I was thinking the same thing. Would be pretty cute to see in a museum. Or at an airport.

@@DeamonSun Yes, right near the escalator
Very cool idea and execution! A couple of things: I think it looks best entirely monochrome. And the clogging issue at the wall might be solved by changing the cross-section of the wall into a slight curve or chevron, with its farthest protrusion toward the Buddies. A wedge shape might add a further layer of meaning, or clarify the existing implications of two slides.
I feel like the clogging at the wall/billboard is part of the piece... If only they would look up!!
My ex had one of those pink ones in the drawer by the bed.
Haha I thought the same exact thing. Was like, "man JBV Creative REALLY branched out from making clocks." 😂
@@awdturbopowah773 not that much, it only changed by one letter
😅
How does this guy only have 300k subs...... Awesome insight into design and the creative process!!
3 2 1 K GO!
My theory of why some CZcamsrs have less subs than they should is because of the attention economy. Once you think of subscribers as a currency, which like all currencies has limited supply and high demand, it all starts to makes sense.
Thanks Matt! Appreciate it
So cool to see the final result!
What do you usually do with your finished sculptures?
Thank you! Mostly they end up in my parents house 😂
You should offer them to galleries or museums for temporary display, you might end up with it being worth a fortune like that sculpture in Beverly Hills Cop.
Bloody hell, you are determined, I'll give you that! I would have given up almost immediately after the idea popped into my head.
You could put a little LED light on each of the phones which would make it look so cool in the dark
He could also make an angle at the wall that they are falling so that they can go at the slides faster
That would be fun
Love the process and the subtle jokes! This is such an interesting sculpture and so relevant. You have immense patience. Great work!!
Thanks Shruthi! I actually have terrible patience haha I just had more desire to make this happen than to give up 😀

Jay 🤔 I have followed you for, OMG, years now. I always get excited when you do something new and then you just go to that one step further that we all know has come to pass. So now it seems you have done it! There are no words for me to use or say anymore. Now the only thing I can do is grin from ear to ear and shake my head in amazement. Please keep me grinning!
I know of the old studio but you now have what looks like a great new studio with all kinds new stuff I have never seen in action. A video of a tour, perhaps?
With all of the time with you from you being and seeing what you’re becoming, truly from the bottom of my heart, congratulations, continue with that journey of a mind that can’t stop creating works of art and constantly improving on that creation. Don’t know you other than these videos but hope you become that man that one day, I can say, I knew him when….
Only the best for you!! Oh, by the way I happen to see some daisies on the wall. 😂 Just like the key chain I have! 😂
Amazing results again! Always so impressed by your 3D modeling abilities in how you split up your models to be sized for the print bed.
Thanks Tyler! Definitely one of the hardest parts of the whole process!
Dude this is by far my favorite of your videos yet!! Great design, amazing build, and hilarious commentary during the process!!
Thanks James! Definitely my favourite so far as well- appreciate you watching!
@@Engineezy2 REPLIES
I really don't think this didn't change anything. At least for me it helped me reflect a bit on my own use of the phone and how it can add some FOMO and mental distraction.
The whole process was just a real pleasure to see, and it's great you poured an idea into this sculpture. In the end, that's what art is best for - expressing concepts, ideas and feelings, and that comes through great here!
That is my hope! Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Amazing job you did there, I've been watching this project since the beginning, and the end result baffled me. Hats down to you and your talent.
Thanks Rami! Appreciate you following along!
Make an hour-long screen-saver type of video of this!
I actually have it filmed! Going to post it on my other channel in the next couple of days :)
Brilliant !! To me the video began to show even higher thoughtfulness after 9 mins. The elevating mechanism, that orientation mechanism. And at last, the stopping & waiting of lower conveyor belt. At the end the original idea is represented so well, & the brilliance of the contraption comes altogether as a surprise. Well Done !!
I've been following along since the beginning of this project. I'm pretty sure that it was a short of your very first prototypes with buddy that made me subscribe. Your creativity, ingenuity and problem solving skills are something to be admired, and an inspiration. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Appreciate you sticking with me in this one!
Glad to see you finish this project!! Turned out great. It’s amazing how almost all of this was 3D printed. That definitely took a huge amount of time to 3D model every single one of the parts
Thank you! Took about 5 months 😬😬
This was absolutely amazing keep doing what you’re doing this was a long time coming and I am glad it worked out
Thanks Koda! Will do 🙂
This is an awesome project! The amount of time, patience and creativity invested in this piece of art is just insane. It looks awesome, it works and it has a meaning which is very representative these days! This project and generally all of your projects are a pleasure to watch! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Vladimir! Definitely tested my patience a few times haha. Will do 👊
Always so impressed with the build quality and final product. Really creative sculpture!
Thanks Ty!!
Soooooooo happy to finally see this project at the finish line! Very satisfying- great job seeing it through!
Thanks Brandon! Glad it lived up to the expectations
I really enjoyed watching the journey of design and building this project!
Thanks for all this :D
Thanks for following along 🙏🙏🙏
I am amazed by this and can't believe the effort put in! Love it man, keep it up! I would love to see a video how you combine laser cut parts with 3d printed parts.
Thanks Jessica! I can definitely incorporate some more of that information in future videos. Cheers!
Literally amazing!!! I think that you need to add a bit of grip on the top conveyor, so you will accellerate the dropping of the puppets.
That could help!
I love the idea behind the buddy model and entire machine. I've been seeing progress videos here and there having only guesses to what they're designed that way for and what they're looking at. The entire machine and the reasoning behind it is a piece of art.
Thank you! Glad you can appreciate it!
I just wanted to leave a note that admires the effort and iteration that was required to accomplish this build. Hope to collaborate with you one day.
Thanks Emi! Appreciate you appreciating the effort 👊
Beautiful man! Love the creativity and problem solving.
Thanks Stefan!
Congrats on your accomplishment!
Love seeing it all come together in one video. Incredible design and execution man!
Thanks Trav 👊👊
Amazing project! It is an astonishing work and I really loved watching you put this much effort into it. Hopefully it will motivate other people to start and get some things done (instead of watching the phone)! I will definitely remember the Buddy slowly moving when noticing that I procrastinate too much :D
Hahah happy to have made something that can inspire you to do stuff! I definitely fall victim to procrastination as well. Thanks for watching!
This level of creativity is ANOTHER LEVEL!!!!!!
Absolutely magnificent!! I love the thought behind it and the technology you used to make it!!!
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!🎉
Thank you Carlo!!!

This would be a fascinating art installation at a museum. Of course, no phones allowed!
People at the museum recording on the phones would unknowingly be part of the exhibit!
What a wonderful sculpture! I love your use of white on all the parts, the lack of color drives the eye to the flowing lines and the construction. I say redo the "Buddies" in white.
I built your wall clock, and I am still messing with the adjustments, but it is great. Your suggestion of the Esun White filament was perfect, my PrusaMk3 loves that stuff.
I actually really like the colour of the buddies! But i hear you!
I've been following this project almost since the begining and I'm so satified with the results. I'd like to higlight the aesthetics of the sculpture and deep creative thinking, knowledge and experience that takes to make your ideas come true. I have to say that this process is a great motivation and inspiration. Thanks for sharing and wish you the best in the next project! Pura Vida 🌿
Thanks Alejandro! Glad it lived up to your expectations. Pura Vida 👊👊
Your design aesthetic is really beautiful. Incredible work!
Thank you!!
Amazing to finally see this come to completion. Such an awesome piece!
Thanks for following along! 👊👊👊
Incredible build, Jay! Really impressive and also a cool work of art.
Thank you sir!
nice, it really came out well. It's nice to see all the work come together
Thanks for following along!
This is unbelievable, well done, and good job seeing it through!
Thanks Ryan!
So great to see it all come together, and 13 minutes doesn't give the whole process justice. I'm an engineer with a 3D printer and I learned a lot throughout that I hope to be able to use in my own projects. Thanks for sharing not just the finished result, but the whole process with us!
Thanks for watching! Glad you were able to gain something from the video 😀
ive been here since the start, even if it was just seeing your videos by chance on shorts. i've always loved ur vids, and idk when i started watching you, but i think it was around christmas of 2021. i loved watching you make this project. in fact, you're part of the reason i bought a printer for myself!
Appreciate the ongoing support! Glad I was able to inspire you 😀
Amazing effort. Perfect result 👍
Thanks Ibrahim!
A great vid and fantastic build/sculpture. Love the chaotic sounds and movement that results before the slide. I hope Rogers or Bell buys it for a ton and puts it in their offices ;)
Thank you! That would be pretty cool, but we both know we can’t count on either of them 🤫
Brilliant! I particularly like the way you have combined multiple assembly techniques and the scale of it of course.
There's a huge difference in your 'addiction' in that it takes effort, doom-scrolling social media is passive distraction. That's my input to that debate!
This needs to be in a modern art museum!
That would be awesome!
Very cool, once again the esthetics with the white and transparent turn out so nice!
Thank you! Agreed, love the way it looks
Such a whimsical piece of engineering, great work.
Thanks Brian!
Great video! I was glued to my screen the whole time!
Thanks Travis! Appreciate you watching
been following this project, wonderful
Thank you! Appreciate you sticking with me
its finally done! congratulations it turned out great!
Finally 🥵🥵 thank you!
Been following this project since the original mini prototype, been cool to watch the progression. This should be the standard for modern art
Appreciate you following along!
I love your dedication to projects
🙏🙏
Well done! Definitely a lot of time and thought put into it!
Thanks Heinrich! That is very accurate
Just amazing! Absolute fun!
Thank you!!
Wow been waiting for this to finish AMAZING WORK MATE
Thanks Nathan!!!
Comment for the algorithm. But for real, its really nice to see someone so heated into something. There is a famous Czech movie Pelisky and there is a famous quote: so much work for such a silly thing. Well done sir.
Haha great quote, so true. Appreciate it
Really great piece of sculpture, I love the use of technology to create art.
Thanks Ian!
Wow! This is my favorite creation of yours since its an impressive piece of engineering as well as a meaningful work of art. Do you have any plans to show this off at a gallery?
Thanks Dan! My favourite so far as well. I want to (it cant live in my house) but I don’t have any specific plans as of yet. Going to work on it!
Doesn't it always seem like the more an art/kinetic project like this is pointless and wild, the more personally satisfying it is once it's done? Watching it run in all of its glory is the best reward. I even put my phone down to watch it on the bigger screen.
Appreciate it!
Absolutely amazing project, so talented
Bruh did you even watch the whole Video😂🌝
Thanks Kieron 🙏🙏
This is amazing!
Would love a video about the 3D-printing process itself, how you think when designing for printing, how you print etc :)
I’ll try to incorporate some more of this in future videos! Thank you 👊👊
its been so cool watching this from the beginning or at least close too. i remember being so pissed that it wasn't done when I found you; but now AHHH it was awsome to get exited for watch upload too. Amazing sculputer! cant wait to see more from you.
Thanks Caleb! Appreciate you sticking with me!
7:58 I will never tire of seeing makers catch that moment of joy when something just works! (Or finally works after trial and error)
It's what we all chase as makers and it is always fleeting and never expected. And for most of us, it comes when no one else is around to see or savor with us.
So true
@@Engineezy2 REPLIES
this is art in motion . this is an awsome project .i shure fear the amount of filement used /the hours to print and asemble it . mad respect for making and desinging it .
Thank you! It was definitely a grind at times
Congratulations! Great job man!
Thank you!
This is amazing! Truly a piece of art!
Thank you!!
Awesome project with a beautiful result :)
Thank youu!!
It’s amazing how an addiction can become an art piece, love your work keep it up!
Some of the most inspired art comes from addiction! Thank you
Amazing. Keep the great work. God bless.
Thanks Gregory!
Been waiting for so long to see it done! Love it. Great job!!! Get some sleep!
Thanks Andy! I will now sleep for a week 🥱🥱
Amazing sculpture!
🙏🙏🙏
I’ve been looking forward to seeing the final results of this project and am not disappointed! If you don’t mind some feedback I would have put a slight crease down the middle of the wall. Nothing too extreme, maybe 5-10 degrees from flat probably. Would just subtly nudge the figures to the side so the pileup is a little less chaotic.
Thanks Miles! The flat wall chaos was the entire goal of this project- I love the way they pile up without ‘noticing’
bro this is super creative!!!! I love it!!!
Thanks Carlos!
Awesome work, it looks insanly good
Appreciate it!
Amazing project!
Thank you!!
Only just found your channel and got to say I love your work.
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching
I've sang the song so many time and thought it the reason for the land of discipline now a days but I never seen the video until you mentioned it and showed a clip!
Nice work on this
Thanks Adam!!
Bravo my man, well executed
Thanks Hassan!
I have been following along as well so inspiring
Appreciate you stick with me on this Carlos!
Engineering and modern art culminating! Beautiful work
Thank you!! 👊👊
Awesome, been watching since the beginning. Great pay off
Thanks for following along 👊👊
I too was wondering why you didn't grab the drill to start. I feel like the bottom section should have a 3rd belt for the very end so you can queue up to close large gaps baggage conveyor at an airport style. Been a joy to watch the great work that made this come together!
Interesting thought! Thanks for following along 👊
In 2 weeks I [M44] am going back to school and I'll be taking Mechanical CAD. I can't wait to learn how to better use design programs and start making my ideas come to life.
This whole project looks so cool ^^
Thanks JQ 🙏🙏
@@Engineezy np :D
Oh the irony of this beautiful sculpture being debuted on CZcams!
I can almost imagine some engrossed pedestrian viewer walking into something while watching!😂
Seriously though, this would be a great piece to display in an art museum!!!👍🏽
Hahah the irony indeed!
I’d have to say, you are amazing. You’re doing everything I wish I could do, except I have no artistic bone in my body.
Not only that, this whole thing is a process. Process of trial and error, wasted 10’s ,of 1000’s of hours on wasted time and filament because you realize that all of these parts you printed, won’t work. Not only that. You design and engineer your parts. That’s another add on stress factor. And you absolutely have joy in wasting material and hours on 3d printing!
How do you do this? I don’t even design any .stl’s; I just throw it in the slicer and print. My Adventurer 3 printer caused me so much anguish, I’m on the verge of chucking that piece of shit out of my second story window.
How do you do this? I wish I could enjoy failure as much as you do! Awesome work man!
Prodjects like this are awesome, must've taken a lot of effort going through each bit of it, and it really reminds me of the beginning of wall-e and how they practically ignored everything but what was on their screens. the only question now being what you do with the final product? dis-assemble it for a future project or keep it as a decorative piece that activates with a flick of a switch.
Thank you! Def some inspo from wall-e! Now it’s off to SF for open sauce, then from there not too sure!
Man this turned out so cool!! I feel inspired to design something to 3D print now 😅.
Thanks Ritchie! Doo it!
This is madness, and it's awesome!
Haha it sure is! Thank you 👊👊👊
Amazing end result
Thank you 🙏🙏
Wow your so cool. Growing up I always dreamed of making cool stuff like that
🙏🙏🙏
Very beautiful sculpture! You have a new subscriber!
Thanks and welcome 🙏👊
Yessss it's finally finished! It looks and works awesome! Great job man. We all could learn to put our phones down more
Thanks Noah! Agreed (as I check my phone and reply to this comment)
The billboard for the wall! 😂
The details take it over the top!
Awesome and hilarious. Well done! 😆
Thanks Christian!
