I watch a lot of videos here and hardly ever comment, but I have to say your videos are great. Please don’t stop bringing great 3D woodworking videos.

Grasshopper on Rhino is the most chaotic design environment i've ever seen

would be cool to see this evolve into a vacuum table to hold bigger objects.. maybe even to use with a CNC setup

This is how Sverchok for Blender was invented! Nice to watch. You have a brilliant process - the only thing I can imagine making this channel pop is hearing your voice explaining what you're doing while you're working, and maybe some free STLs

Great video. Thanks for showing the whole process and the mistakes along the way

Great design, but the CAD modeling gave me an anxiety attack 😱.

I thought I was the only one. What software is that I’ve never seen a tree like that before. Im used to catia and solidworks, very linear

You're a genius! 💪💪💪

Great job!

Man, Rhino with Grasshopper is really cool! I think I probably won't learn it because of the expense, but it's making me want to jump in to OpenSCAD. I love that you program parts!

great job, btw you need a vacuum with dedicated cooling fan for the motor or it will heat up.

As long as it has a bypass motor your good.

Awesome project but that it the craziest modeling software I have ever seen lol

Maybe add a silicone gasket for stronger suction?

Nice

Your design process is a pleasure to watch especially with the Boolean process. The finished product is a testament to your design process. Well done.

what software do you use? your designs are very nice i like how things are made in pieces that fit together - i all too often make designs as one piece and then it's expensive to iterate or repair

Really nice design. I’m a bit confusing if grasshopper is still a good fit for such kind of one off project or not, Maybe directly using python withs it’s api is easier to manage for such a large build progress 😂

Great design. The music makes my teeth itch though.

👏

Using a vacuum for this isnt a good idea. I think you should model a Venturi valve (or pump?) and plug it into a compressor. Only high end dust extractor (ex: Festool) have bypass to prevent the motor from blowing up.

thank you for the tip, will get one for next one (designing one with double side vacuum)

Looks like the tpu might not be flexible enough at the point it needs to be, like it needs a much thinner little baffle like lip at the end to solve the actual problem using tpu is supposed to solve. To put it another way, I think the rigidity means that any wiggle one way or another allows for an air gap that loses suction. With a thinner brim, looking similar to that of an actual suction cup, the willingness to bend means that the head will stick to the surface with the same level of suction with higher angles.

Agree,Im gonna implement this in next design for double side vacuum

Nice design, but it’s a good way to burn out the motor on a vacuum. They are not meant to handle that kind of load. Better off using a vacuum pump.

great job and great share. thank ypu. what is your software?

you are maybe a newbie in woodworking but you are a hec of a ingeeneer / designer....i will, for sure, watch the rest of tour video... s'cuse my english

Isn't it easier to solve such problems with the help of standard Rino tools?

I have a question. Wouldn't this be overloading the vacuum cleaner and shorten its service life?

does this man own several of the same red flannel shirls, or does he only record videos when he wears that shirt?

This shit is amazing! Do you even lift bro?

What gap do you make in the threaded connections?

@ussadesign

3 жыл бұрын

0.7 mm , could be smaller but I use it as universal number because some printers need bigger gap, also sometimes I print them horizantally which requires bigger gap as well and bigger threads require bigger gap, 0.7 seems to work fine for all these cases

Rhino 3D with Grasshopper

Man that cad process looks tedious and awful. Why not use something more like solidworks?

@ussadesign

3 жыл бұрын

because this process gives control over every step of the design process. It is much simpler than what it looks like, my scripts are messy cause I build them in a rush but it should be more structured and cleaner.

For anyone new to 3d modeling this guys designs are great but the program he's using is very unnecessary! hahaha

thank you, but have to disagree on software statement, although grasshopper is mostly known for complex geometries and parametrizing and it takes more time to design it this way instead of usual 3d modeling tools, I think it’s great for such tasks, not sure if any other software gives such control over design through whole process
