  • It's finally time to resume work on The Martian spacesuit costume build! In the two years since we last checked in on the project, Frank Ippolito has moved into a new shop and has been chipping away on 3D printing crucial parts to the costume. Adam spends the day at Frank's shop to survey the pieces and start work on the helmet!

    • @mmseng2
      @mmseng2 Před 5 lety +33

      +1. It actually behooves Norm to be (or act) genuinely uninformed, because it makes the specialists naturally want to explain their work in an accessible way, rather than being a bunch of unintelligible insider jargon speak (to the wider audience). In fact, getting this video-friendly communication out of a specialist can be difficult (my manager has to do this to me on occasion), and Norm makes it look like a natural talent, intentional or not. This is especially obvious when he works with Frank, IMO. You can frequently see Frank stop to rethink his words and phrasing, or come up with analogies, when he starts to go full geek and realizes he's talking to Norm, and not one of his shopmates. Here's to Norm, putting in the work and taking the knocks for us Normies.

    • @emilylindstrom724
      @emilylindstrom724 Před 5 lety +14

    • @iWhacko
      @iWhacko Před 5 lety +6

      sure, but a 19 minute video where most of it is talk, feels a bit overdone. I feel I saw nearly nothing of the build. I mean I didn't even see Adam milling the aluminium.

    • @Noeland
      @Noeland Před 5 lety +3

      I think Norm is very likable. In this video though he asks about the support material in the 3D print right after Frank already explained it to Adam. That question from Norm should have been cut from the video IMHO, but it hardly took away from the joy of seeing people fabricate. I could watch people making props all damn day. I love fabrication.

    That is so cool. That waste plastic can be recycled by the company that manufactures the raw extrusion. They regrind and add a percentage to a batch. You can work out a deal with them. Just keep it seperated by color and material. It saves them on cost and less landfill. win win.

    • @BallisticTech
      @BallisticTech Před 5 lety +2

      From my understanding talking to a lot of filament companies at Mid-West Rep Rap Festival, East Coast Rep Rap Festival and Maker Faires, most don't produce recycled filament. Those that do it's more of a niche thing right now. Filamentive for example sources their plastic from "Material generated by households or by commercial, industrial and institutional facilities in their role as end-users of the product which can no longer be used for its intended purpose. This includes returns of material from the distribution chain."
      I think I've heard of a few companies that accept waste filament for recycling but it's the exception to the rule. Let me know if you know of any specific companies that do offer it.

  • @aserta
    @aserta Před 5 lety +2

    It's really weird that they haven't figured out that to deal away with the supports (read, mass of material wasted) all you have to do is print a few known dimensions in cubes before hand, and then as the print progresses, mount them (at a determined point in the print so you don't smash the riser cube with the head) in and go from there.
    These would be reusable to the Nth degree as the printer would print on top of them with a modicum of support material vs the huge waste (in time and material) the current method uses. It's really, not that complicated, just needs an initial investment of time.
    FYI, if a CNC is available, machining a cube out of wood and putting a platter on top (same material as the printer bed) is also a way for the riser block).
    Also, that big printer needs to have rubber spacers installed on the steppers to soak up the vibrations...
