Iron Man Hulkbuster Cosplay #10 | Shoulder & Upper Arms | James Bruton
Part 10 of my Giant Hulkbuster Suit - working my way up to the shoulders and upper arm mechanism, and some thoughts on the elbow drive.
In this series, I build a complete Iron Man Hulkbuster cosplay with animatronics and mechatronics with a step-by-step guide to cover everything you’ll need to build your very own suit. From 3D printing the parts to installing the mechanics that make this whole suit wearable and actually able to walk around.

② XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current KZread maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

Wait, James Hobson is here? Luv ur vids!
This project is getting better and better, can't wait till you get to the torso
Wrong hand used in the final mockup of the video, only goes to show how helpful and time saving it is to engineer universal parts so you're not having to bespoke left and right. Keen to see this progress!
Your mechanisms are so clever.
I throughly enjoy your work and I watch every week. Thank you for sharing with us
Oh my gosh, Robosapien. Those were the shit. Also, I think you have the left forearm on the right side.
Im astonished on how cool this looks
I enjoyed the length of this video. You got tones done. Please do more videos that go for this long
Love it

studying mechatronics atm (first year). So good to see a project like this in detail. When did you start to get your hands dirty and make things like this?
Put the joysticks on sliders sort of like a cabinet drawer slider mechanism so that you can get more movement when moving the arms around.

this will be the best suit ever bro !
Great job with this so far, your foresight with the build is amazing, I wouldn't have gotten half this far without having to resort to duct tape and cable ties!
Man this is so awesome... when you explained how the Shoulderparts would work I didnt understand a word but once I saw it in action its Brilliant. This is gonna be so extremely cool once youire done, cant wait for it.
6:29 the epic music is so cool!
I'm loving this series james, i would like to see some more of the alien suit as well! :D
oops forgot about this yesterday. I love the multi movement hinges, looks pretty cool. The main from of suit is really coming together and is beginning to look epic. Cant wait till next week.
crazy progress, impressive engineering!
This looks sick mate
Just too awesome
Thats a biiig peace of progress you made last week! Looking great, thanks for uploading your stuff. I've just realized that you're acutally doing what I've been dreaming of for quiet a time but don't have enough talent nor enough money for really doing it... So it's great to watch it being done by someone else. Please keep it up, I love your Videos!
Been watching your channel for ages your so awesome dude!
freaking amazing....
You are one of the most smaartest jeniuses ever
You could put the joystick on a little track so when you extend your arms the joystick will just come back a little bit :)
How about putting the Joysticks on sliders, so they can move backwards when the arm extend?
I want the same !! Good job !
Not sure if if you have thought of this, but since you want your arms to be easily removable from the suit to use a central control panel, you are going to need something solid to hold on to in order to move the arms around. My suggestion is mounting a piece of 1 inch wood dowling with a four or eight way switch mounted on the top to activate with your thumb, and a trigger switch or two. Much like the eight way hat on top of joysticks or a D-Pad found on almost all controllers.
This. This is awesome! :D
What I think would be a great idea would be to make a sliding mechanism for the joysticks so that they can slide with the hands a you move the arms, making it is to have straight arms at all times, rather than having your arms uncomfortably bent. Jst a thought.
it's alway a good idea, if you cut a screw or a threaded rod, to screw a nut on first and then cut behind it. this will save the thread and if you rasp against the nut it will be nice and clean.
you push always to the best technic to have the best thing.. Great :) it allow us to have some idea for our cosplay ! Thanks James ;) from France :)

Just kidding.
You should put your arms around the back of the wooden pieces like your cradling them in the crook of your elbow. It would be more ergonomic and would help support the upper arms better.
You can make the rings of shower hose a little bit bigger and then use them as joint Protection.
you should do timelapses of the 3d printing

***** What camera do you use? You should be able to just take stills each 10 seconds or so, then compile the footage in any video-editing program really. And you could sore the footage directly to a computer and power the camera vis DC, completely doable. However, you should know your stuff =) Keep up the good work!
Cool!!!
Now your shoulders can always be as tough as steel or iron.
Yay
Hey, James, if you need help programming the joysticks, check out the Barnaclese Nerdgasm (i think I spelled that right) I'm sure that he would be glad to help!
Are the tables that the 3D printers are on meant to shake? I thought you'd get a better print if the machines were on a sturdy foundation.

Great vid cant wait untill u get the controllers in fir the arm in
I really wish you could do this for a living ;P From what i know you need at least like 250k to make an average wage but oh well The project is still awesome!

adam kimm they can after they stop, and if its enough to live off of. Usually its like 150k or so to make a living wage when doing vids er day or every other day. If living in other places it can be less.

Seb it all depends where your comparing to. That's why its a range not a set number
It looks like you may want a counter balance for the fore arm If one is not put in then you would really be stressing the motor to rotate the arm
At one point it looked like you were making Iron Ape what with those long drooping arms. :D You should try to make a lifesized version of yourself complete with your measurements and moving joints in the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees to help with positioning parts of these large [suit] projects. Those mannequins are only good for putting stuff on, they're pretty useless for anything else. At least you'll have a willing helper on hand for when you decide to make another suit. ;)
I am in awe of your creative solutions. How long do you have to draft ideas for before creating the part?
just a thought but when that thing is all built its gonna get pretty hot at cons, maybe you need to water cool it like a high end PC ;P
Isn't that hand on the opposite arm though? The thumb was facing downward on the right side? :o
cool!!!!
omg i had one of those robots at 10:11 (mine was green and broke down D:)
This was grest
Could you print out some of those plastic pieces for the shoulder articulation all 3 doubled or are you unable to do that I would really like some!
For the arm why don't you add a sliding rack so you can adjust the joystick instead of making the arms shorter. Great costume by the way
Wouldn't it be better to mount the joysticks on a track system? This was you wouldn't have to worry about whether your hands/arms were getting bent awkwardly or stretched out when you move your arms.
Will you be taking your Hulk Buster in a cosplay competition in future....or is it just for fun??
Looking good, but that hand is on the wrong arm, or that arm has the wrong hand if you catch my drift.
Did any one notice the ammo in the top right hand corner
Hi James, Which pound store do you get your spray paints from and do they have a pretty constant stock? Salisbury's versions have a limited amount of DIY items!

How will you fit this thing through the door and down stairs?
11:26 is that left arm i see lol :)
Do you have the stl files for these items you printed out in this video?
I don't know if you did it on purpose just for demonstration, but you have the hand on the wrong side.
btw thats the ronge hand ^^
the adjustable arm was a good idea. bending your arms inside the hulkbuster arm is however a horrible idea. dont FIX your joystick to the frame of the hulkbuster armor. put it on a rail much like a drawer is on rails. then irrespective of where you rotate or lift your arm you would always be in reach of your joystick.
How can i make round notches in autodesk design?
isnt the thumb on the hand on the wrong side?
James can go back to your other iron man suit
Put the joysticks on sliders
Does anyone else realised that he had left hand on the right arm?
Where do you find 22 1/2mm bearings???

He put the hand on the wrong arm but still nice work
Am I the only one to say the elbow joint literally looks like a steering wheel.
did you already notice, that in the end of the video you where "using" the wrong underarm? just take a look where the thumb is... it look twisted i laughed more at it than i should have.
its a bit ironic you got all those electric screw drivers,yet spend a lot of time hand screwing
