Check out my newest video! It's epic! czcams.com/video/6TcieXHVLVc/video.html
Why did you comment this 13 hours after the video was posted

BRO THIS IS SO EXPENSIVE!!!
And u not talked…
Thank you!
Not enough. Waiting for the Lego Particle Accelerator.
Seriously though this is amazing! Great job dude.
Lego Atomic Bomb
Meh I want the ISS
@@artusking9747hi
True
Probably one of the most impressive things Ive ever seen done with lego.
Thank you so much!
So you've basically just made the frame of a CNC out of (mostly) LEGO. From this, you can flip it upside down and replace the magnet with a motor and drill bit to complete that, or if you mount that whole assembly higher, you can add a platform that moves along the Z-axis to make a 3D printer.
I feel like the LEGO would melt if left near a hot end, though...
lego corexy printer should be possible
Yes, those ideas are on my list! I'm excited about the possibilities this introduced! 😁
@@trumpetsrlife9692I'll have to look that up!
@@BrickMachines1 yes, if you do a corexy setup, I think the whole thing would be possible with pure lego parts. Instead of belts you could use chain links and a A/B motor setup similar to a Voron 3D printer. You wouldn't have to cross the belts this way.
@@impact224488then you can 3D print legos and make another 3D printer.
This is amazing! I feel like a lil bit less sand would make it even better cuz you can see it's pushing a lot when creating new lines close to the old ones. Having sand level half depth of the ball could make it crispy. Can't wait for lego nuclear reactor
Thanks so much! Great suggestion!
i was gonna say the same thing he did
lego nuclear reactor
Never thought that an analog screensaver could be so mesmerizing.
Great work.
Thank you so much! :)
I’m always amazed how you thought these building processes through
He's an engineer
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoy these videos!
Me waiting for him to talk him not taking
me :ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟヽ)
The LED's really set it off. They way they interact with the peaks and valleys of the sand creating highlights and shadows is really pretty.
This is the most elaborate and mechanically complex LEGO build that I've seen so far, and it's absolutely epic.
We're so proud to be a small part of this! Great project as always!
Thank you! So grateful for your expertise on the Pybricks team. I love using it for programming these machines!
@@BrickMachines1the new block interface has the same satisfying clicks for your videos. I think we just need a green screen full screen mode 😅
Ah that's so cool! I haven't tried the blocks coding yet, but I have seen that it has been a huge hit! Congrats on that! 🙂
first non-lego worker here
Kids and adults these days don't know how lucky they are to have such an amazing technic lego ecosystem, especially the aftermarket support. I'd have given anything for some of the parts and resources available today, makes me wish I was ten years old again...
I am so grateful for all the support! It truly is amazing. Maybe you want to get back into building with some of those aftermarket parts! It's super fun!
Even though kids have access to this, i rarely ever hear about a kid actually playing with these kinds of stuff.
Although I agree with you, I wish we had these things back in the days.
WHOA
This is insane. Definitely will need to check out the metal parts!
Will also petition for a 24/7 stream of this with relaxing audio 😂
Also also, it’s been a while since I’ve been here, mb dude. Builds are as cool as before tho! Nice job!
Thanks so much! Yes, definitely check out the metal parts--they are awesome!! Great idea on the streaming!
😮
I'm really addicted to these videos. If you made some of just the sand I'd watch them over and over too.
The end result is quite astonishing 😮!
Could see this set up in an unused space or closet and either projected onto a screen or mirrored so it looks like a moving picture. Just watching something like this as a continual LIVE video would be awesome for those of us who have their televisions hooked up to their monitors.
You should make a working claw machine.
I love that idea!
You're a genius in 3 ways:
*Create a machine which is for practical use for sand drawings
*Create wonderfull sand art motives
*Film that sand art with perfect timelaps and camera angles to cut an awsome video masterpiece
Thx for that and keep on!
And guys ... subscribe for this talent!
What an awesome comment! Thank you so much! ☺️
@@BrickMachines1 Best for you from Germany :)
Very cool. Also: black sand on some kind of diffused light base. It might be harder to get one thin enough for the magnet to work well, but it would probably look really cool.
6:30 he used a lego brick seperator lmao 😂
Lol I'm glad you lied that 😂
this is one of the coolest lego builds I've seen! great work!
Thanks so much! :)
Truly fascinating! Have you thought of adding some kind of shaking/vibrating attachment to the sand pit which could provide an easy and fast "wipe/flat out"/"reset" mechanism for the sand area?
This is basically the principle of an Etch-a-sketch. With extra steps and inverted.
Cool to see nonetheless.
Love the videos! I will for sure come back. This is a very cool machine! I bet your parents are proud
Thank you so much! Love to have you watching videos on the channel!
The one thing I'm curious about is how the metal parts and the plastic parts interact. I have seen cases where metal parts end up destroying plastic parts. Doesn't make much difference if it's just something short lived like I suspect this is. But if you set this up to continuously run, it could end up failing faster than you expect.
I have watched a few of your videos and am fascinated by the things you build with Lego! The moving ones are always more impressive, especially the ones with moving balls. But this one here has everything. Do you ever reveal the actual time spent building? Do you share your design thoughts and processes? Although I realize that you get sponsors donating parts etc. How much do you think it would cost to make, say, this sand drawing machine, or maybe something a little simpler?
Wow this is truly amazing! I love all the designs you were able to make in the sand!
Thank you so much! ☺️ I'm really glad such an awesome builder like yourself enjoyed it!
i've seen and made some crazy shit with tech lego but i've never seen anything as amazing as this. A truly amazing construct.
Am I the only one reminded of classic screen savers back in the day and how oddly satisfying it was to watch them draw themselves? Fantastic fun though. =3
I don't know if I should call this man crazy....or a genius.
Wow this is INSANE! Also very perfect
and the LED strip too! (which is essential for all engineering projects)
Thanks so much! And you're so right...LEDs are a must 😉
I get that it's kinda required for this, but having a 125 stud aluminium piece and then sawing it feels... a bit not LEGO.
That's fair! But it's kinda fun to branch out a little, at least for me 👍
At first minutes the construction with aluminium parts looked loke it's a part of a 3D printer) Maybe you should try to do smth like that in future)
Excellent build! I would like to see different size ball bearings, perhaps smaller ones can offer higher detail
The way I would FOREVER leave this whirring out zen designs. Well done as always! Next level: make it silent.
Your videos just keep getting cooler and cooler! I can’t wait to see what you make next!
Thanks so much! Can't wait to show you the next one!
I could tell that it looked like you were making a giant automated Etch a sketch. I think the lights are a great touch. I seams to still be a little too much sand. I was wondering why you were using the snap together screw drive pieces after you came up with full lenth screw drives. Great project and kudos on cable management. Some of these videos always end up with a mess of wires that need to be under control.
Day of 1 asking for fully functional Lego car
Yes!!!
That'd be amazing!
The real question is if you can make this thing draw out each frame of bad apple!! (half joking, that would be really cool, but genuinely this is a really impressive work of engineering and i am really amazed by how well it all came together! Expertly done, excited to see that the bounds of lego are endless lol)
+1 for this!
How fitting that the first thing you drew in the sand was an hour glass.
With this X/Y type of gantry design, you could easily add a Z axis and make a lego controlled 3d printer!
Impressive that you were able to build this using almost entirely LEGO parts.
Thanks so much!
Cool! Could you make it briefly vibrate the tray to clear the drawing, a bit like an etch a sketch, perhaps?
Now if only one could combine dominoes, marble tracks and a sand art machine, that would be an awesome rube Goldberg machine/reaction. Awesome engineering job.
That's cool there's companies that make metal parts for the really big projects like this thanks for sharing I always like when creative people share their creations
You just gace me an idea of what to to with and old or broken 3D printer ;) Great Video!
Gret machine! Also great job at not showing off each picture for at least half a second to appreciate! You Sir, are an engineer!
Great job. I love when the ball is going through the sand instead of over. Its just too loud....
how I saw my skills as an 8yr old with the most simple buildings ever
8:18 The Sound is so perfect
I loved every aspect about it! I would like to suggest using a diffuser for the lights, will make the lights look softer and more pleasing!
Great suggestion! Thank you!
Interesting. Like a zen garden.
That'll likeky pit and scratch the mirror glass over time.
shout out to my boy youtube algorithm for show me this master piece
This brings me back to the days when I drew pictures in the sand at our local beach
Aw that's awesome!
I love your videos! Part of me wonders if you ever do retakes to get better sounds of the Legos snapping together.
Those drawings at the end were so sick! I loved the one that looked like the inside of a tree trunk.
You gotta start adding ASMR to the description of these non-narrated videos. 🤤 So satisfying.
Thank you so much! I loved that drawing too! 👍 I add #asmr so it goes on those playlists 😎 Thanks for your great comment 😁
Despite how big Brick Machines channel is, he always seems to reply to almost all of his comments.
I am now trying to piece together a way to make this ridged enough to use as a 3d printer? we already have two axis's Z wouldnt be too hard to implement...now getting the controler to recognize G-Code movements that would be the part Id struggle with
This is soooo cool!
Also you could use the movement mechanism in this project to make a cnc machine and that would be insane
Great video keep it up!👍
My dad got my mon a sand art tablle for christmas. I'm going to show him this and tell him to do better next year LOL, this was INSANE
Wow, that's an awesome gift! So glad you enjoyed my version 👍
As a great ball contraption builder, metal parts are amazing. But there’s just something about abs dust that makes the hobby more “real”.
The original Sisyphus sand art device uses a central polar axis that rotates a linear rail for distance from center so the whole device can also be a compact circle barely larger than the sand surface.
Yeah that's a very cool way to do it, no doubt, but this one can handle rectangle and square mirrors too, and have bounds that aren't only circular. A different take on a similar concept, for sure! Thanks for bringing it up!
Thats one of the infinite possibilities of Lego. Keep working :)
Yes, I love LEGO® bricks and their endless possibilities!
I didn't realize that lego made many of these parts... you could make a low powered laser or drawing machine using these type of parts- maybe even a low quality 3d printer I'd say a CNC machine but that's probably too much friction.
My solution would be when don't attach camera and stuff It will only add up to more things Instead you can use a fixed point of like maybe a transmitter which always stays on top of your head if you wear it and the drone just follows it around wherever it travels the thing on your head the transmitter
You should open a museum for all of these projects
Es lo mejor que he visto en la vida 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Not enough. I’m waiting for the Lego Pym Particle Machine
Idea for the next build: 3D printer made of LEGO that prints things of LEGO bricks.
I am absolutely astonished. I’m speechless! This is so amazing, I- I want more! You’ve well outdone yourself with this. This is an amazing work of art, you’ve got some dedication. Man you’ve made my day with this. I can’t wait to see more!
Wow, thank you for such a kind and wonderful comment!
Of course! You’ve got some of the most interesting and best Lego builds ever. I love it!
That means a ton! Thanks for being such an awesome fan of my builds 😊
It’d be hard not to be a fan with how epic they are 😝
@@iantassinari4942 I gotta say, it's so fun to build machines like this, but then to get to share them with people who really like them is even better!
This is basically just a physical screensaver animation. I love it.
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed it!
The fact that he made custom parts out of mental kinda blow my mind and making LEGO work with the sand thing omg this is the best video I’ve seen so far
Wow, thank you so much!
absolutely awesome ...Good projekt for Lego Ideas, i would buy it ..
Now think of something that you could hang it on the wall 😂
But great job. It works flawlessly. ❤
Straight up CNC machine with Lego ballscrews. Crazy.
Amazing piece of art and engineering! +1 please try a smaller marble to gain more details (y)
This is so cool! The lights make it perfect. Please more of that❤
Thanks so much!
at 65, i remember the list lego sets. at 65 i till have ve son's legos. at times i will still play with then
Ok that's cool now make a functional Patriot SAM unit ❤
8:36 the pawprints tell such a story :D
Lol haha that's awesome! I think those might be my fingerprints though 🤣 Can't really remember why they're there at all haha
Love this! What kind of led strips are those?
Glad you liked it! Here are the links to Amazon for the lights and the power supply and controller! And just so you're aware, I get commissions for purchases made through the links below. Thanks for your support!!

Beautiful art❤👍 very amazing🤩
I think you can get better results with even less sand and maybe a finer grain
this is so satisfying! id love to see this using iron filings as the magnet moves underneath!
Oh I love that idea!
BRO YOUR SO TALENTED. you should really consider showcasing your amazing work at brickcon
one question are you sharing this amazing gadgets manuals? With paid version ofc which parts u use what is the steps etc? If yes could you share that link to us :D
For large structures you also can use Lego ZNAP parts.
Great idea!
Missed opportunity: leveling the sand mountain with the ball. 😊
Someday this man will assemble a lego spaceship, build a lego planet somewhere in universe, make there lego friends and will be totally happy with mindblowing lego life.
This is amazing!
1:04 can someone make an edit of this where he pulls the rod out for at least 5 minutes? No added sound, just the scraaaaaaaaaaaaaape of the axle as it leaves the tube.
Edit: This is a pretty sketchy comment with no context. :P
Lol that's funny!
AAAAA ASMR SO GOOD
Just enjoying the metal lego.
I LIKE THIS VIDEO VERY MUCH.
Wow!! So fine!
watching the worm gears move always itches my brain, but the sand art was so much cooler, and the lights too?? you have made a very good sensory display 🤣
Thank you very much!
The part i thought was impressive was the fact that you made a lego sperator a regular seperator
Those drawing starting at 10:47 would make a really nice screensaver, if they still existed ^^'
Or some Windows Media Player visualizations (those who grew up in the 90's know what I'm talking about ! ^^)
Should try it with a smaller marble, though... Would take longer but would also allow more detailed drawings :D
Incredible job ! Still wondering how the idea came to you !
Part of me was hoping he'd draw a flying toaster. :D
Same that the Lego motors are so loud, or this would be in my living room, drawing 24/7!
Yes, that'd be awesome! I bet there's a way to make them really quiet 👍
That is cool! Especially the piece separator and the mirror's back and the Lego rake 😂
Can you also program a random mode within the boundaries of the mirror? Or draw certain functions?
Can it run Gcode(used for CNC machines like 3d printers and milling machines)
Lol I'm so glad you liked that! Yes, that wouldn't be too difficult!
@@mcjavabelike8320Yes! There's a Python parser that takes G-code and enables the EV3 to use it correctly 👍
@@BrickMachines1 Maybe I should mention: The Lego 8094 was one of my first models. The steering mechanism was the first kind of programable device before mindstorm came around and it taught me A LOT about simple mechanics and the way a CNC works. I spend hours with it as a little boy 🤗🤗🤗👍 good old days!
Now, could you tell me step by step on how to build this so I can use it as a 3d printer?
