Spilled Cereal

Update (please read)

Alright, so the new video was an experiment and it did NOT do well (fml) but on the side, I was also working on another project (my last update) which did not pan out. It was a video about whether aerodynamics upgrades can make Hot Wheels cars faster on a track (spoiler alert: The answer is NO).

But while I was working on that video I also made this track for drag racing Hot Wheels. it's modular, with adjustable height, and there are also turns (which are not shown in the photo). The one sold by Hot Wheels is about $130 so I obviously had to design my own knockoff version. Also, unlike the Hot Wheels version, you can make this one as long as you want. the one in the photo is 6 feet long.

Let me know if anyone's interested in this. I'll put this out as a bonus project if enough people show interest.

As for the next project, don't worry, it's not gonna be another "experiment". We're going back to kits, and this one's a rather ambitious one ngl. I'm sure you're gonna like it if I can actually design it. Let's see how this pans out.

New Project. (update #1)

Nerf Kit (3D Print Files)

Drive Link to the files and ReadMe - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ljzYYlJRdBIIR6aO2IwI-MQOe1DVL5r6?usp=drive_link

Almost done. Now on to the video!

Another update.

Video should be up by next weekend (hopefully)

A very early prototype for the next video

(It's going to be another kit)

What should I build next? (I need ideas lol)

Mini Claw Machine (3D Print Files)

Please comment "download" on this post if you want this to be one of your monthly downloads and I'll send you the 3D print files. 

Please refer to the accompanying video on my channel (which will be posted at 10:30 EDT on October 5th, 2024) if you need help assembling the claw machine, or ask me on Discord/comments.

Claw Machine Update #3

Question for you: I'll upload the video on October 5th (there's a lot of stuff going on rn) and I wanted to know if you guys would prefer if I uploaded the print files for this a week early (for paid Patreon members and on Gumroad) or would you rather I upload the files with the video?

(I won't be able to show the assembly steps if I release the files before the video though)

Claw Machine Update #2

Next Project Update

I'm currently working on a 3D printable mini Claw Machine game. More updates to come very soon!

Update and 3D Printer Giveaway

New video this Saturday! (10:30 EDT). Also, I'm giving away a Bambu Lab A1 Mini 3D printer! Details will be in the video.

All files will be available for all paid Patreon members as soon as the video goes live.

Apologies for the delay, I'm currently in the process of moving so all of my YT stuff has been put on hold. Here's a sneak peek.

An early prototype for my next video

It's another kit, and maybe some of you will immediately be able to figure out what this is, but either way, I'm sure you guys are gonna like it.

It will be available to my paid Patreon members as soon as the video goes live (hopefully on August 17th) so it's a good time to join a paid tier!

Nerf Grappling Hook (3D Print Files)

Please comment "download" on this post if you want this to be one of your monthly downloads and I'll send you the 3D print files. 

Some Info - 

1. I used 0.4mm nozzle and 0.20mm layer height with standard PLA

2. I recommend using tree supports for the grappling hook STL, and orienting it with the tip facing downwards. It's not going to look perfect, but that's the most efficient option in my opinion.

3. I used a chopped-up <$5 80mm PC fan for the motor, but you can use stronger motors for better performance. I recommend 1/18 scale RC crawler motors (they have pretty high torque for their size)

4. I recommend using regular sewing cotton thread because thinner threads tend to help reduce unspooling resistance and thus consequently increase the range of the blaster.

5. Depending upon your setup, some of the joints may be either a bit tight or a bit loose for you, so please consider either sanding off the tight-fitting parts or using tape if some parts end up being slightly loose-fitting.

6. I recommend using 3M's VHB double-sided tape for attaching the reel box and base plate to your blaster because you kinda need the reel box to stay in place while you reel back your grappling hook. 

(Black Dranzer) Beyblade Kit Card 3D Print Files

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please use double-sided tape or glue between the top layer of the Beyblade and the bearing. This is because we need to cease the relative motion between the inner and outer cylinders of the bearing. If we don't do that, the Beyblade is still going to spin, but it'll spin in a much crappier way (it'll stop spinning much sooner). I forgot to mention this in the video, apologies for that.

Same as the Dragoon file, I print these in PLA at 0.16mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle. I've included both, the 3MF and the STL files for this.

(Dragoon) Beyblade Kit Card 3D Print Files

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please use double-sided tape or glue between the top layer of the Beyblade and the bearing. This is because we need to cease the relative motion between the inner and outer cylinders of the bearing. If we don't do that, the Beyblade is still going to spin, but it'll spin in a much crappier way (it'll stop spinning much sooner). I forgot to mention this in the video, apologies for that.

I print these in PLA at 0.16mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle.

I've included both, the 3MF and the STL files for this so you should be good regardless of whether you have a printer with AMS or a regular printer.

Nerf Shotgun Shell (3D Print Files)

These work with standard Nerf Elite darts. You would have to change the tip to either one of the ones I've included here, though.

Use 6mm (radius) x 2mm (depth) magnets for the holder and shell.

Regular 6mm yellow airsoft BBs work fine with this.

Oh, and don't push the crimp all the way, just friction fit it to the shell.

That's about it I guess. You can use these with most front-loading Nerf blasters (with a few modifications)

Let me know if you have any questions or need any of the other versions of the shotgun shell.

How to join the Discord Server

When you join a paid tier, you will receive a DM from me with the invite to the server. It might not happen immediately (I might be in the toilet or something, but I'll try my best to be a quick about it as possible)

Stealthy Tic Tac Blaster (3D Print Files)

This one's pretty simple. This size should work with a regular Tic Tac box.

Try not to include any supports inside the barrel because that's gonna be a nightmare to sand.

Also, use a clicky pen spring (preferably Uniball) for this.

Oh, and use PTFE spray if you can. Chances are, if you own a resin printer, you already have a can lying around somewhere.

That's about it, I guess. Let me know in the comments if you guys have any questions. I'll try my best to help!

Skittles Vending Machine (3D Print Files)

Hello there! I've got 8 patreon members now, which is kinda epic. Anyway, here are the 3D print files for the vending machine.

Instructions -

1. Print these STLs at 1000% scale (or 10x size) for regular skittles sized candies

2. Print 4 copies each of files 1 & 2. They're the pushers and the brackets for the springs.

3. You can use various kinds of springs, but in my experience springs from those clicky Uniball pens work the best.

4. File 6 is the alternate collection vat flap, you can either use this, or make one from acrylic and tape it, either one works fine (The STL file is for people who have clear filaments/resins available to them)

5. File 3 is the back plate of the vending machine and is optional. You can either let it remain open from the back, or use styrofoam or cardboard as well.

6. I haven't included the decals because apparently water-slide paper doesn't work with the color white and kind of needs a white background, so the decals just turn out really poopy (unless you're planning on making a white vending machine)

3D Printed Wind Tunnel files -

Please use a regular 80mm CPU fan (you can find them at New Egg, Amazon, Best Buy etc for very cheap) for the exhaust and 1mm plexiglass for the test chamber windows.

If you don't have acrylic/plexiglass, you can also use transparent tape for the windows.

Let me know if you make one, and drop a comment if you downloaded these files, it helps me figure out if people are actually seeing my posts lol.

Thank you,

Toast.
