Most of the time, we look to time killing activities when we are bored. But, we could miss a wonderful opportunity in finding a new hobby! Luckily, I found my new hobby one boring, but fateful day. That hobby is CAD designing, 3D printing, and throwing boomerangs.
For any who asked, here are the STL files for the last two designs!: drive.google.c...
These are slightly modified to have less sharp edges. Try to print as light as possible (30g model mass) and I find honeycomb infill works best.
You’re pretty good at making boomerangs come back, but can you make my father come back?
thats akshualle hilarious
Very good boomerangs
Bro you’re 100% underrated
Great video!
Very well edited and I liked the really good audio xD
Thanks! I've been working on those quite a bit :D
I made one of the 3 winged boomerangs when I was in primary school! It was made out of wood. I don't think mine ended up being able to return though. Fun process tho. I believe it was marginally wider at the tips than it was at the base
Nice! It could've all come down to the throw however. My boomerangs wouldn't return that well because I didn't give it enough spin or energy (speed) to return all the way. But either way, being able to make something is fun even if it doesn't work :P
thanks for the stl going to try this out
asside from the impressive boomerang... the 3d renders wow
Thanks! Had a really fun time learning how to get the nice renders to work. Only took a Saturday really. The rest was thinking how I could make it more creative :D
Now that you've parnered up with PCBWAY, you can get it printed out of metal, give it a nice honed edge, wear a leather glove to catch it while doing backflips, and party up with the road warrior!
I'd print out of TPU for a massive durability boost, TPU apparently also has a subtly lower weight than PLA as well, maybe that'd allocate some budget for carbon fiber rods to get pushed in then sealed? You could even get crazy with it and try something like varioshore (foaming TPU) to control where most of the weight sits, using a mesh as a flow and speed modifier.
Metal boomerang would be crazy :P. That's a certified self-defense weapon at that point. The TPU idea would push the design to be a MTA (maximum time aloft) boomerang, allowing it to stay in the air for longer. Carbon fiber rods probably won't be needed based on how light the boomerangs would be at that point. But at the end of the day, you can make boomerangs out of wood or PLA and it'd work :D.
Best Underrated channel🔥
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! Glad you enjoyed it :D
That grass is SO DEAD it's been too hot
Fantastic! I’ve tried printing a few boomerangs and have not been successful yet. Could you possibly post or email me an STL?
Sure thing! Here's a google drive link to the last two designs: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kPucO2eMOIXZVL3fBZL6YH3c6as7CgnC?usp=sharing. These are modified to have rounded edges so that they do not cut as easily. My printing advice is to try and print as light as possible (around 30 grams). Honeycomb infill if you have the option works well with 2 walls and top/bottom layers.
@@TheTinkeringTechiethank you so much! Got one printing now
Better than store bought boomerang! Great work with this! Got mine to come back to me most throws. Now I just need to learn how to catch…
Very glad you enjoyed :D. I was a bit afraid that it may not work the same with different printers, smoothed edges, etc. The catching will come with time.
Would propellers work?
cool video!!! but... can I get the stls??? please
Sure! Since you and another person asked, I put a link at the bottom of the description. Enjoy!
Why the pizza on the floor?
I didn't have space

He posted the files in the description now
