A Youtube Channel Called Reel Robots
So what is next? As some of you know I've been throwing around the idea of a robotics Youtube channel. The notion of giving back my knowledge to the community via YouTube is intriguing. At the very least, the channel will result in a repository of videos showing current robot technology, 3D tools, and how I to use them to build robots. The channel also allow me to explore the hundreds of robot ideas in my head. Every robot build will consist of several episodes to complete (approx 6 to 8 episodes) and will be released bi-monthly. The channel will be rebranded as "REEL ROBOTS" ("REEL" as in a movie reel, as most of my robots, will look as though they stepped out of a movie) and will launch in May 2020. Robots are expensive to build as you all know, and support will be paramount. The success of this endeavor will in part be by interest, viewer participation, sponsors, merch, affiliate links, and Patreon members. If you are not yet a subscriber, please stop by my YouTube channel and subscribe its free! .
All the best,
Will
@fxrtst I just saw part two of you youtube build, it is very impressive. I like your method of joining PETG parts using a soldering gun. what thickness of outer shell are you using? I wish I had your CAD skills. You are as I said the Robot Master. Thanks Will
@nallycat Thanks. I'm using 3 to 4 shells for most parts. All these prints were .3 layer height, so they were pretty groovy..looked like an old record. But, the spot glazing putty and the radial sander fixed those issues quickly. I'm very confident I can build a robot any size now, with the Creality CR-10 Max and the techniques I've come up with.
@ezang Thanks.
@Fxrtst Thanks Will I saw in your video you are using several Resin Printers, What are your opinions on this type of printing, is it worth having one, what model of resin printers are you using and would you recommend them. Do you think we will be able to pour our own drink using your robot through Exosphere in the future.
Haha that would be cool!
I would recommend a resin printer for everyone printing parts. What I like to do as seen in the video is add another level of detailed parts that you can't get on a FDM printer. For example in the video you see me adding details to the side panels. It just adds a few parts that draw your eye and are high resolution. The parts are not as durable as PETG, so i don't use them for functional parts. But great for details.
I've had many many resin printers and infact had a few of the early prosumer models by 3D systems (cost was $10k and $15k each!). but now all the 27 year patients have run out everyone is making them.
To start with if you are thinking about getting one...go with the Anycubic Photon printer. Its a small foot print and bed size is about the size of a cell phone. All my detailed parts in this video were done on this very affordable printer. ($249) You can get good deals on resin too.

Hey, wow fantastic development skills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4lY2uBorwA#t=10m36s
Hey Master Will How do you code so fast ? There's no doubt your bartender makes great cocktails
hahahahhahaha.....AND with two keyboards! Ta Da!
And a missing key!! Wore it out with all the zeros and ones
you got mad finishing skills. I respect your patience and attention to detail. I could never achieve those results with my hot glue gun lol! Can’t wait for episode 3
..bahahahah missing key, zero and ones ..lol. Yeah I smoothed those parts out like butter!
