week what did you do did you build a bow did you go to California did you do anything cool in the last week um okay because I've already said a lot of my streams too um well I educated according to Karen um way back there I'm not even gonna go try to find that comment but um we got educated on where cats can sit on tables right okay yeah um if y'all were in our live stream we were live till like four in the morning on Saturday and it got weird um anyhow I think I have a new job that's a thing um I haven't need anything though nice okay so congratulations on that I mean that's that's cool I'm sad but I will be going to California again very soon sweet sweet well but what did you do did you do anything uh I have just been working on this space as you can see behind me it looks like a mess currently because I'm just working on stuff trying to get it ready I did my very first live stream here on Saturday night we checked out the afuro laser 2 which was a lot of fun uh we didn't even burn the building down yet um I should I should knock a little when I say that but let me there we go um but we had a we had a great stream a lot of fun and if you stuck around till the end I gave you the nickel tour uh just a really quick walkthrough of what's going on and then as I was shutting my phone off off of a stream yard I stopped the stream right like abruptly so I thought I was disconnecting my phone and it just shut the whole stream down so that was fun uh like I said it was the end anyway so that there you go um real quick it looks like yeah and I just want to make sure we didn't have any new ones so Andrew thank you so much also Michael Grugell fix him dude love watching Jim and Shannon look forward to the show every week thank you so much thank you so much $10 $10 we definitely appreciate that and we will add it to the Lucky Charms fund because clearly that cat needs more Lucky Charms milk um maybe we should go to Fruity Pebbles Fruity Pebbles milk no what no the only sugary cereal that I will eat are like Lucky Charms or like Reese's puffs but like and I very rarely do it but I just decided that I wanted it and just went with it anyway um shall we bring in our our person now yeah so so who we got today um so you guys probably know him as Sinister Props um on Instagram at the uh subside as well his name is Chris and we're gonna bring him on in here and he's a prop maker uh cosplay like just fun stuff like there's there's so much fun stuff that he has just sitting next to him right now that he's gonna talk about so yeah shall we say hi to Chris let's do it ladies and gentlemen Chris from Sinister Props how you doing what's up thanks for having me today hey welcome welcome to Hot Makes of course um yeah so do you want to go ahead and just start off and just tell us a little bit about yourself and who you are where you are online and all that fun stuff sure no problem so um yeah I'm Sinister Props uh I've been making props for man a good five or six years now kind of uh as the business I've always been a tinkerer I've always liked to build Lego sets I was a kind of kid who took stuff apart and then tried to put it back together and you know nine times out of ten growing up that meant I broke my toy but it was always a learning experience so um but yeah as I got uh you know more and more into making stuff uh I fell really hard into 3d printing um and I tried to incorporate a lot of 3d printed um 3d printed parts into uh various other types of prop making um because you know you can 3d print an entire suit of armor or you can 3d print a prop uh but sometimes using 3d printing is accenting has always been a very big passion of mine I also did some work with foam um that buster sword oh this one buster sword back there is foam um nice I use uh I mean I use foam I guess I use just as everybody else does a multitude of things um in all of my builds uh but one of the major things I do uh which is is really where I started uh into props was I I build custom lightsabers um primarily uh I'm an installer uh so what happens what that is is essentially somebody has a lightsaber that they want installed there's tons of companies out there that make absolutely fantastic replicas and um you know without the install it's it's just a paper weight really and so the the install really makes it come to life the technology that's running through the light the custom lightsaber world right now is it blow your mind I mean it's insane what's going on the last since I started doing it the last two or three years alone uh it's really mind blowing uh you know what happens when a bunch of nerds get together and and really put their brains together so I've been doing a lot of lightsaber installs um I could say pretty comfortably at this point installed probably around three or four hundred lightsabers um I've made a couple for myself uh I've I try to keep it a little uh on the on the minimal side or else it would take over my whole room but um that's a hundred percent my apartment right now it's just stuff everywhere that I've just stuff everywhere right but yeah the lightsabers are a fascinating piece because you really do bring in the 3d printing world uh into let's say someone who I mean I've made hilts from scratch I've used uh which is I'll I'll show you guys in a little bit I've used vintage things to make lightsabers um but the chassis on lightsabers are 3d printed which means uh either someone out there makes a 3d printed hilt for it or I have to um design it I have someone in house who does uh 3d printing chassis designs um and you know they they're really kind of uh they're very unique to each situation um so yeah for sure I mean that's uh that's pretty much what I do a little bit of everything at jack of all trades it really is everything I love it that's awesome I'm very limited in like what I do because I think I'm typecast at this point to like specific armor but that's yeah that's like a whole uh range of of things and I know the lightsabers definitely appeal to several people and our usual viewers yeah uh there's a lot of great a lot of great comments going on my favorite one nerds uh working with lightsaber working with lightsabers uh are they working lightsabers that's uh pugwash astia yes so I do full neopixel installs um if I you mean by working lightsabers can I uh like cut a tree down no but it's not real no but uh they're essentially they're essentially got um a soundboard associated with them and custom sound fonts uh in some cases you know they get very elaborate with crystal chambers and and um you know pretty much everything all the way up until doing my own taxes for me uh yeah I mean they're pretty they get pretty incredible I mean I got one here that talks to my phone but yeah it uses neopixel technology the blades go right in the socket I could show you guys got a little bit and a little bit um the blades go in the socket and they they're they're gyroscopic uh responsive it makes it feel like you're holding the real thing it's pretty incredible well that I mean you say you work with lightsabers but I see what star lord behind you yeah halo halo uh of course you got the grogu if my son was watching he'd be freaking out because he loves grogu he even he's not even two and he one of the very few names he actually says is grogu right wow but uh yeah but he has the impact of Disney oh he has the little grogu that like makes noise and all that stuff oh you have one of those if you have one of those laid on its back most people don't know that if you lay the animatronic grogu on his back he goes to sleep closes his eyes and even like snores it is like we my wife saw something and she's like wait a minute so she tipped it over and she's like holy moly we would have never even known that that Disney magic right there right but I gotta love the star lord mask yeah yeah I have a full star lord costume um I would say that star lord was one of the first attempts I made to assemble a full like real costume with props that I made and everything um yeah this is actually a recent addition the helmet I remade it um I used magnetic attachment let me turn it on I use magnetic attachment so when I take it off uh I can walk around at a con with this all open and then it uses magnets and it will turn itself back on when I snap it in place and that that area that you saw when the mask is off I don't have the remote with me but there's electronics in there nice and uh it'll glow blue when I take this off it'll glow blue um so it's like you know when it materializes around his face sure but that's awesome that's a pretty form fitting helmet how do you get it on and off yeah so it's it's made to only fit me um yeah it only fits me and so the way that I did it was there's actually like little door latches in the back here uh oh yeah and so what happens is you do this and it's on a pivot and it just opens just enough to get my head in there I would put it on but it would take my headphones off right now and then you put it in there and you lock it in and it just kind of fits in my head but it's really only meant to fit me all right and then my next costume which is being constructed right now is his halo I'm a huge halo fan I'm a huge fan of this upcoming show and so apparently a trailer came out earlier is what I've learned while we were prepping for this yeah I'm excited to see that I'm uh I would love to show it but you know we we don't want to get dinged across all of our channels yeah yeah yeah but yeah even talking over it but nice that's awesome what um so I gotta I gotta follow that up because we have a very heavy 3d printing following here on hot makes um what printers do you use um sitting next to me I have an Ender 5 uh plus on loan from my my production partner uh my production partner has a lot of 3 printers I have oh man this thing is a dinosaur a hatchbox alpha I don't know if you guys ever heard about that that's that's uh what probably gotta be it's seven years old seven seven or eight years old I think it's seven uh I call her old faithful because she won't die she will not die nice yeah are you like actively trying to kill that printer funny funny enough she's down right now there you go there you go because listen my my ender's down too and it like it's been a chain effect through the community this week like everyone's down right oh man I'm not plugging my end I just moved over here I'm not plugging it in yeah it was just a couple of fans went out I don't know it might have been a surge or something but a couple of the fans blew up um so I'm just waiting for for the amazon guy um nice and then I have two ender threes which are workhorses uh just for printing stuff on my shop uh and then I have an anycubic botan mono x for resin okay sure um my my production partner has a couple of ender threes I mean this is all partisan mr props I would say between the two of us there's 10 pairs nice but you got it I mean if you guys are doing so much it's awesome to have a variety I mean that yes I love the five plus was one of my favorite printers I miss it I bad trade on my deal or my part but I miss that thing every day I actually found I'm moving over here to a new studio and I found one of my old built surfaces for it and I was just like oh I miss this you know but uh I might I might have to hit up creality and get another one coming because I I miss that thing so much um but I mean it sounds like you got some sweet printers everyone in the chat is is talking about that too someone hybrid robotics says I have an ender five plus that's greatly modified with more coming and there are so many really cool modifications for all these printers but cursey fabrications chris over there at cursey fabrications like king of the ender five plus does everything to those things and and uh he's a very good dude so um so I'm curious like you take a kit you get a lightsaber kit someone says I bought this kit yeah can you put it together for me essentially yep can you make it can you make it light up can you make it go do you have do you have one or a completed one in front of you like someone that you could show us yeah like where do these kits come from like random places because I've seen a lot of prop makers that they have like pre-sale kits and stuff for parts but yep all right is it a specific site you recommend to people uh yeah so there's a couple of websites if you want to get into this there's a couple of websites uh k our sabers sells great empty kits um cord and sells good empty kits 89 sabers uh you know you can get empties from saber forge um and you can get installed lightsabers from some of these places uh the reason that you may or may not is well some of the places only sell them empty um got it but the reason you may or may not is some installed by some of the higher level uh or some some of the regular uh sabersmiths sabersmithing companies that you'll find uh they might install they might have a fixed cut type insulation yeah k our sabers right there uh you know and you might want more out of your out of your lightsaber and that's when a custom installer comes in to play um let me see I've actually got that you just scrolled past these um I can show you kind of what an empty sort of looks like taking the box off but uh well even even if you have one that's not empty right there you go these things are gorgeous uh this is a k our sabers um a show katana just they call it or sorry it's called the throne hunter they can't use the disney they can't use the disney words or else you know yeah yeah yeah so it's the new the disney word in that title yep the the mouse will come and get you so they've got you know these are these are empties I've installed and this would be set number four they're very popular from k our sabers right now I think they're sold out so sorry if I just uh hit everybody I'll have to I'll tell you in a second I just closed that tab but I'm curious now um again I've ordered some stuff from another company and they always send me like pre-orders and all sorts stuff for all all these different ones that they're doing and I'm always intrigued but I never jumped on that but um uh they actually call it they actually call it by name on here which which surprises me on on k our sabers yeah here let's see right there right are we outing them what's it called yeah with the 104 people watching right now you are busted no um I let's see let's let's hit the store let's see what they got I'm curious well they might use it in the description they might use it in the description um but I know that officially their title they can't yeah thron yeah you gotta it's called braun hunters yeah and then they call it the scavenger the race scavenger um there's always just funky names for everything you'll you'll see it around the community because disney keeps a a tight grip on their words you know yeah there's some really cool stuff um 108 bucks for this kit this is an empty yep um empty oh here's special plate at 143 that looks sick by the way or or 92 bucks if you just wanted some aluminum that's super cool um and then with the that's a blank template a lot of people do uh a lot of like laser etcher engravings or acid etchers on stuff like that and they can make them insane yeah so can you get a kit I don't know if you can from these guys right but that just comes with oh a prop kit there we go nope maybe not no I was thinking like the whole the whole um the whole kit together right it maybe not come put together but you get everything so so yeah that's the tough part right so the tough part you might think that we would get there but as you know in the prop making world especially when you're dealing with star wars right um star wars props are the most meticulous meticulously accurate pieces that for for instance I like to compare it to marvel marvel right as long as you look like a superhero the fans really don't care right if you're like yeah you're you know star lord it looks good yeah that's fine but no no no marvel fans gonna be like oh you don't have the appropriate screw on your helmet right you know what I mean yeah and so these these lightsabers that you're seeing on those those some of these shops are insane as to how accurate they are and it makes it very hard to make one thing that hits everything it makes it really really hard button placements battery placements ease of access speakers you know you name it but wouldn't they come up with a kit for each like hilt I mean wouldn't that make sense it yeah and there's come there's companies like pack store who does like ones I states all you're just happy with the dean that way but you know for the most part and I guess that's the difference right you could go to a store and buy this stuff and switch switch it and now I guess the customers that I'm dealing with are on the very high end these guys want the exact replica right you know in their office or you know these guys want exact replica stuff yes so I mean I can show you one of my hilt I can show you yeah let's check it out a couple of the stuff you know before I get directly to this you know one of the things that I do or one of the things that I've done going into the Star Wars community is you know Star Wars is built out of of junk you know one of the most appealing parts of Star Wars and what they've done with the Mandalorian is everything is kind of built out of like you know stuff that you might see in like an antique store or a junkyard or right a lot of stuff is world war two army surplus things nice is this going into your vintage supplies because I really I want to talk about that I want to make sure we get you on that so it is it is and I was going to use that to show you my saber because you know at the end of the day the sabers are all all the all the what's inside of them kind of they're all the same but it's how it's presented in certain ways and so you know going into the vintage the vintage stuff is you know that you can if you have if you're inclined to and have some extra money to spend or should I say throw into the wind get parts get parts that were in Star Wars not like screen use but you can find these things and it takes a lot of research to assemble some of these items but these they're out there out there they're doable it might you know it might be something that you keep secret from your significant other because it means you don't get that new car for instance I I saw an Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber go during the pandemic a full vintage Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber go for 14 grand yeah it should have called on to it until like now yeah yeah I know although the the particular Star Wars fans would go well his lightsaber is the one from revenge so maybe like whatever but anyway yeah I'll show you this so this is my this is my graphlex I know it just looks like a saber that everyone's probably seen before because it is but it's it's vintage so that means that the saber was made out of the same exact metal this is the same exact thing that it was made out of in the movie in 1977 so the graph was what yeah they call it the graphlex because as you can see here it says graphlex and what it is is it's a it's a camera flash from a from a graph and it comes out of New York they were very popular this was one of the more popular camera flashes starting in the 1920s this thing is old I love it I love it yeah and you know George Lucas came to the team and said I need a bunch of things that are whatever that looked like this and this is you know this is one of those pieces and all they did was they added grips from a like a cabinet it's weird they put a D ring on the bottom of it I have holes drilled in this but this is actually a replica bottom because I didn't want to put holes in the vintage thing so I have one that doesn't have holes but it's vintage I put a D ring on it and then they put a bubble strip in there which is actually from this it's a it's a calculator nice and so that bubble strip is in here which is where you would display the numbers right where the numbers would come through that is super cool yep and so you'd have to harvest that part and put it in there but that's uh that's what graphlex is and you know so from the outside it looks like a you know it looks like the prop but this is where someone like me comes in right I say I want to do some fancy stuff to it and so what I do is I take the insides apart and I give it some interesting let me kill these lights so that you can see that better nice it's got the crystal in there so it's got a crystal chamber in it um you know it's it's it's it turns and it turns on it pulses and does all that cool stuff this little indicator factor this is all acid etched this it'll indicate it right here that you see is the um that's the bluetooth it's just telling you that bluetooth is not connected but this bottom piece comes all the way off yeah you know like I said it does everything it does everything except for my taxes pretty much um oh my gosh I'm fascinated by this is crazy and so this this is all handmade I bent all this metal I forged all this um and then really quick I can show you guys and so you can see here that's where the blade goes in uh and I'll do that really quick I just want to say that Chris Perlow is missing out right now like yeah what the heck so right there you go and they have all sorts of effects you know nice and they're really loud if I put that bottom back on but um yeah so the blades just pop right in there they're they're light up what's the blade made out of it's a polycarbonate tube okay and it's that's pretty strong yeah I like to say depending on the lightsaber if you do like inhaled uh I mean you could you could do some serious beating with it you really could um this one is a kr strip I don't know if it's competition grade but I won't be dueling with my graphics anyway because it's it's worth more than my car so yeah you missed the fun so so anyway yeah there are but uh what the robot robot said was uh there are competition grade lightsabers where you can I'm sure you've probably seen videos of people dueling what not and you can do that stuff and it's it's pretty incredible what it you know they're capable of doing and I build competition grade lightsabers which means I build ones that have rock solid chassis that are ready to be dueled with but ones like these are not they're meant to be shipped on off you know that's crazy that's your that's your brag piece is what that is that's uh yeah that's your Ferrari you drive your pinto you brag about your Ferrari that's exactly I can show you guys what the uh what the brains look like in here um yeah that's that's the soundboard right there all these wiring all this stuff there's the battery that's nice um and all of this stuff is you know I made all this out of I just cut it with a dremel nice okay I'm like ashamed of rest you know ah you don't don't ever be ashamed of an awesome project you did because there's always there is always going to be something that you find that you're like wow that is amazing but you gotta you gotta look back it is no that that is super cool so I mean you you um you play with oh you play with I say play with pretty like I say like sabers yeah um so I don't know if you can say like if I if I had a kit and I said hey here's the deal I want this kit decked out what am I looking at like cost wise maybe maybe like one of the kits we looked at at the on that website and then you add you know crystal led sound the blade all that stuff you know it's it's crazy and and here we're going back into the 3d printing world man I wish this saber that's sitting to the left of me was done so that I could show you what it looks like but let me grab one of these parts all right I don't know if my buddy Ron is watching but your saber is going to be done tomorrow run so this is a 3d printed metal part from shapeways I don't know how familiar you are with how much stuff like this costs it's not cheap but they do they do 3d printed metal and there's these things called master chassis's they're incredibly difficult installs um from what I know is typical parts for the master chassis and this is just the parts for the chassis cost I would say pretty close to like five or six hundred bucks and that doesn't include the cost of the saber and you can do this with any saber there's a master chassis's for my graphlex that I have um and last time I checked the parts for it are like two grand and this saber this saber is insane and and I mean we go back to the whole thing if you know vintage it's like investing in currency you're making an investment you're you really are because it's legitimate as long as it's not a basis my graph looks I didn't damage the original graph looks to do this I have some props that were damaged to make the prop but the graph looks is a lucky one it doesn't have to be sacrificed to to create the prop it's incorrectly but yeah I mean with a crystal chamber but that's the thing it's it's all different tiers right because right you could get a saber you could get a star killer um you could get you could get uh and there's you could get some luke sabers that have some pretty easy crystal chambers and really it only tax on for someone like me another hundred hundred fifty bucks on the install costs my install costs are somewhere between uh like three seventy five to five hundred okay and so and you're looking at a top tier lightsaber sure you know out the door for probably under a thousand dollars oh okay so a thousand bucks are under you could get a pretty dang good one and that's everything that's everything that's the hilt yeah yeah that's the blade you know i'm what do you got for maybe a trade of a box of I don't know fruity pebbles um uh and and a 3d printer oh man no i'm just joking which 3d printer yeah there's a piece of the he has a piece of the dremel metal that he cut off like last night or something he's like here you go no that's super cool I mean it's it's such a cool thing that um you kind of like niched down especially into the lightsabers because I mean everybody loves them um so it's funny we had a couple fun comments yeah basically it's the cost of your firstborn um yeah my my liver sucks but and and I need my kidney kidney so I guess I can't afford it um but but I mean uh what else so you you do a ton of stuff so we talked about a lot of sabers we talked about a little bit of the masks what else do you do you focus mostly on the sabers does that keep you busy or do you do other I would say the sabers is is probably half of my business or so um and I really started diversifying out of it because uh I I I like to work on new projects all the time um but you know yeah I mean I'd say the masks I don't do a lot of farmer pieces for individuals uh I typically try to stay away from helmets but I make I've made a couple full masks face masks um you know I just really kind of leave that stuff to the people who are in that industry um I make a couple of things out of foam just just a handful of things but that's I mean that's about it I do you know I would say the vintage the vintage work I've done three vintage graphics is or something like that and that oh wow I have a I have a couple of props here I can show off yeah let's turn it off but um you know and they're not all light sabers uh sure but uh yeah I'd say I'd say it's a nice combination of everything I try to keep it very interesting for myself you know yeah no it sounds like you have a lot going on so well and when you get stuck like and I say stuck very loosely here right when when you work on the same saber yes a hundred times like you want to jump into the new saber or you want to jump into like I grab you know you want to kind of like you said diversify but what's cool is that you know you said it's about half your work and that's pretty dang awesome I I imagine um we can see a lot of cool stuff if we you know we see any of the big like um I don't know the cons maybe I guess I'm trying to think of somewhere where someone would bring their actual expensive one too and I don't know if I would do it but I do that now to wonder con yeah I want to see this in person I'll have star lord on it at wonder con so you could see okay I'm gonna find you then I'm gonna hit up every star lord and be like I'm I think I'm only doing Saturday though I don't know what day you're doing I'm gonna be there only Saturday look at that there you go there you go she's gonna walk up and punch every star lord just to see who it is and then I'm gonna be pilot which I think so so we have a couple minutes before I want to jump into some some cool stuff that some other people have made too with the hot makes but what else you said you have some stuff down below what what do you got yeah sure yeah yeah yeah um I'll invest it right now heck yeah I said screw the hot make let's just you know we'll just talk all day I'll let us know in the chat what you think do you guys think this is awesome because honestly um I'm loving what he's around too with this yeah yeah I'm loving what you're doing I got a lot of stuff to show yeah let's do it it's like it's like big kids show and tell it's my favorite really is so I'll show you guys uh something I finished uh earlier um earlier last year right before uh a popular character star wars show came out um now this is a vintage prop but it's not it's not 1977 star wars vintage but uh I've got to take my hat off to the graders of the Mandalorian uh because they went completely they went they went back to the star wars roots right okay they kind of decided that they are going to start making things of the way or start doing the show right that's why Mandalorian looks so good right because it looks like it did in the 1970s and 80s so what I decided to build was I've got I've got this guy right here this is the first first blaster I actually ever made I've got another I'm making another one another vintage one but um this is Boba Fett's plaster uh and so not something that you would have seen in um uh the original trilogy this blaster didn't show up anywhere uh but this this gun is this part right here that you're seeing uh is legitimately a World War II flare gun a Navy World War II flare gun wow so uh that I if you're a a a collector of the original part I'm sorry to tell you but I completely destroyed it um and then these pieces right here that you see on top in this uh this bolt and the grips were all the files were made uh on on a resin printer so I created the additional pieces uh via resin um and then tack them on so that I have and if you look at the book of Boba Fett it looks kind of like that's what they did too I think that they just filled in the blanks with like very similar parts since I had more references but something like this I mean like I said back to using 3d printing to complete a prop that's based in there's a basis of vintage gun so that's one of my more recent projects I've got a couple of other little this is a vintage Yoda nice yes yes this turns on yeah I mean I've got an Evan Peele a little vintage Evan Peele which is just a Jedi master but it was uh made out of these parts for the Attack of the Clones movie so that's super cool that a couple of things you know that it's really cool that you you know there's enough of a following where they're like okay where do we find the origin what were these made out of where do you find the originals you know and one of the things like um I watch it tested a lot I love yeah savage I love his stuff and I absolutely love the stories he tells about when he when he did that kind of stuff when he goes back to these places or he visits or when he was doing this actively you know in his past and he actually was like well actually I think we made that out of this and you're like what yeah you see in the community you see in the community those the prod makers from the original Star Wars Mark Hamill just did it recently uh he tweeted out recently I don't want to say recently but within the last couple years he pretty much just told everybody what pants he was wearing out of the blue in uh in a new hope he was like yeah they were 501 jeans like so yeah funny story funny story is I have a twitter connection with him and like I haven't talked to him in a very long time but we used to have like a message thread going on like what was real what was fake it's like the weirdest he's like he loves doing that it's incredible so so how many people the the one that you had the classic right um what did you call it again I apologize that it's a it's called the graphics the graphics um how many people you think actually made or have one of those I mean it could be a it could be a bunch but but I mean like how many people do you think actually have like an original piece you know like that and it could be their own making like yours I mean I and I would say it's at least a couple hundred and and there's different kinds right the empire's right back version sure is way harder to get um there's just more parts from different things and it's very expensive uh Darth Vader's lightsaber is uh I mean you got to take out a second mortgage to afford the empty you know last time I checked they're like six or seven grand empty because there's no room yeah and so the empties just the empty just to have the thing yeah and that's before you know you still got to get the bubble strip and you still got to get the grips and you still got to install it if you want to install it I mean I would say I mean it is a massive community out there and I mean some people some people get lucky and find this stuff that antique stores but there's people that look for it they really are and and new parts get discovered all the time all the time for people like I think I found the park and it's the park and then everyone everyone of course then cleaned up yeah I was just gonna say then that part that no one's cared about for you know 30 40 years is all the sudden gone everywhere right that rubber tubing yeah yep and that's the same thing with like the ghostbusters community I'm finding out is the same exact way you know ghostbusters is built just like Star Wars and just trash it's just trash well what what the cool part about 3d printing is and we're going to get the hot makes in a second here but the cool part about 3d printing is you know in in these in ghostbusters and any movies car parts too like stuff that you cannot find anywhere if you can scan a part and start producing that part for a rare car even if you've made 10 of them or five of them or something you can you can make some really good money I've seen dash pieces that you can't find I've seen like total cool stuff that like you might have one of or be able to get your hands on one of five in the world or something and you scan it and how you have that part for someone else who wants to rebuild and you know massive yeah yeah next thing you know there's 3000 babies from from Supernatural out there something but those I love that car I wanted to make that car for so long and then you like everybody started making that car and it's like everybody who lists the same car always puts Supernatural baby or something like that in it and they're like you know he knows what he has I guess you know I'm not gonna pay that much yeah it kind of yeah yeah yeah well there's it's a what in Paula I think but but it's funny because this certain car you just if you search that car if someone knows it's related to that show they they automatically call it out and you can expect to pay more you you got to find one of those that like no they don't know what they have but awesome well I love the stuff let's let's hit some hot makes and see how much time we have after that I did I got a little ambitious on them today but I would I love what you're doing let us know in the chat throw Chris some love let us know what you think if you love what he's doing as well because I'm I'm digging the lightsabers a good friend of mine that the guy who got me into 3d printing in the beginning has built a couple I believe in he got he built one specifically that I love I just text was like you gotta send me a picture I want to you know I want to put it on the stream quick I want to see because it's the first one I had seen that was hand built with a crystal and you know all the stuff inside of it it's really cool and he's a big laser guy so he builds like the big he buys the pieces nice big lasers too and stuff but but ladies gentlemen let's jump let's dive in some hot makes let's do it let's do it let's see if I love it I was keeping Geary on his toes I was just like let's see let's see if he's pay attention uh so I'm like so I'm like ladies gentlemen hot makes and then you know the bumper goes and I was seeing how fast he could hit that I love it I was totally expecting that I'm not gonna lie I was expecting that 100% um oh he said he my buddy said he sent it and I'll see it I'll see it on the Facebook's oh no oh he posted on my timeline there we go here let me pop this over actually you know what let me not do that because it has his name in it that looked like a graphics to me uh yeah let me let me do this I don't know if he cares or not but next thing you know he'll have like 700 people blowing them up and um there we go I want to know is it vintage it doesn't look like it is um Steve I know you're watching so let me know if it's uh if it's vintage uh how you made this I'm not sure the pins look it looks too shiny a little shiny a little shiny yeah I uh I don't know it might have been a kit um he'll have to I mean but but I know he uh when he first showed me this I was just like this is amazing I need this um but I didn't realize until uh you just pointed this out I never would have noticed that on there so anyways okay first hot makes of the night we we're way off way way off track here he says it's a replica he just chatted me okay cool um but it's still awesome I love it still make Angus over at Makers Muse he is playing with a fan um he's posted a couple pictures since here but I cannot wait to see um the video that comes out of this fan if you checked out his post recently that's what it looked like so I uh I am dying to see this video um he said this video is coming out this weekend so um yeah I I'm pumped I gotta check it out um just from his hair here it may have a lot of uh air blown through that fan but love it Angus um what do we got next uh from the Alliance the first die I ever made just a simple d6 and let's pop this bad boy out there we go oh I I gotta tell you I really wanted to check out making some die uh dice die dice making a die for dice I don't know uh I uh I think some people make some awesome stuff and this is pretty dang cool it looks like it's from Warcraft I'm terrible at this game uh trying to pick out what they're from but he does call out Warcraft in here so but nice work do you make dice at all have you made any me I haven't yeah so both of you yeah it's gonna be free for all just like have to attention I have not I kind of want to like try resin because I know resin that die dice are a thing that people really get into which might be fun but that's way down the road yeah I thought about it awesome I thought about it before and I talked to a man a couple members of the communities and I heard that they have very specific requirements on them and so like really it really does take like a master to make them so like when I see someone make a die that's like that uh you know there's way more work than it looks to go into it to be to be a lot of it's like waiting as well because when you have those designs on the sides it can easily yeah right yep oh I like that I I mean uh no I wouldn't do that uh let's see what do we got um Steven John Lyons printed this from Prusa 3d it's poly alchemy elixir onyx I absolutely love the onyx color by the way um this looks like was on a Ender 3 v2 there we go what a little a little bust great print um oh how shiny it is yeah oh that elixir that stuff is awesome uh this is it's very it actually might be the same color that I did um that I did Thomas's Viking from Webster and very cool man very cool all right what do we got next I know we're short on time because I wanted to talk to you so much today but that's okay we're gonna we're gonna rock it if we go a couple minutes over hopefully no one's upset about that um Caleb elixir I barely knew her huh funny guy funny guy all right what do we got next Ethan's dad Marcus says Chris Perillo can finally calibrate his printer let's see so we got a uh looks like a calibration cube all right x y z what's on the other side ah there it is there it is I got a bad feeling about this that's awesome I I love it um wow that's so good perfect nice work Marcus I love that um speaking of Caleb my coworker just told me if I crush up Oreos add milk and microwave it it magically becomes chocolate I saw this like the same I think that was the same day that we had the conversation about no milk though uh I apologize I need to end the stream early because I have to go buy Oreos right now uh I am doing bye no uh I you know I have milk though I I'm not gonna have to mix the two I I am not opposed to having milk on my Oreos either I just if I'm in a hurry water's faster there's this dangerous information yeah okay so yeah like Chris isn't aware of this but like yeah yeah they he does cookies and water man I don't dunk them there's no dunking there's no it's under the faucet quick to make it a little softer and then I eat them when I'm in a hurry milk use milk here we go stop it water is worse I love it Gatorade Gatorade next time oh no yeah a little high fructose corn syrup with my Oreos oh man I I like milk on my Oreos and my cookies as well I just if I'm in a hurry and I want to eat six in a row real quick and you know I don't want my fingers all like you know dipped in the milk and you know um this Vegemite yes all right where we got next um if you are old enough to know what Vegemite is out there let us know in the chat yeah um it's a vegan option I love it it's got electrolytes oh my gosh uh this is phenomenal um Joe over at breaks and makes um made a uh piano right a grand piano 500 screws six meters of sound rods and four kilograms of filament um I watched the video on this uh yesterday phenomenal video he basically lays out how he put it all together and then he plays it at the end why and um it did not make the sound I was expecting I would I don't know what I was expecting this thing to sound like when he was done but watched the video all the way to the end and you'll find out I'm that's all I'm gonna say but um this is awesome um you talk about prop making like make a baby grand piano out of uh four kilograms of brucement but I mean that's a lot of freaking filament uh man and it's out there if you guys want this I believe um I don't know if you put the link I think the link's in his video but I think it's on my mini factory where's the banana for scale watch the video and you can see his hand for scale which is pretty oh oh boy uh what do we got next Matt Stoltz actually he's I believe just jumped in the chat with us a little bit ago I would love to see more stuff made with aesthetic of quilling but made these with a vase mode 3d printing I feel like this is something 3d print bunny and or geeky fey art would totally get behind these are I'm dem digging these um super cool wow love it uh I I don't know I'm not artistic enough I don't think for this yeah it is beautiful it's the colors are awesome he he always has awesome colors though this is true look at that though wow wow it is just it's not even just the colors it's like the the placement of the colors you know yeah like that takes some thought to make it look like that man it is so good using yellow orange red whatever is like one thing but then spreading it out the way that it is there with that gradient right planning like oh man it's like he's painting with the color like yes you're right I am uh you know in the in the new studio man I actually have more space I am super pumped to get my palette 3 pro out and running that does eight colors um and I'm just all I could think of is like yeah I gotta go through all the process of getting calibrated get it running get it on a machine that's trustworthy but then like after all of that I have to pick colors that go together to make something cool and um I don't do that uh so it might be or yeah like here's just a bunch of you know what I think the first thing I do I'm going to load in like just a whole ton of sample rolls that I have like here's like just throw in all these sample rolls and let them feed and see what happens um what's the link to the video for the piano that you could find that on breaks in makes on youtube otherwise I'll have Geary Geary can you grab that link and throw it in chat for anyone who wants to chat to check that out all right thank you um big jano is next another awesome awesome creation this is a wall mounted nozzle project is finally done he took the left over adjustable leds from the jano leafs which were also awesome and made the nozzle um addressable so this is a 3d print you know basically a 3d printed um there you go nozzle with the colored filament with the addressable nan uh leds is what I'm trying to say the ideal pixels yeah and I think I was in his stream and he was putting this together too or like when it was working or something and it yeah it was really incredible to see so jano I don't know if you're watching right now what I would like to see and I think this is amazing this is this is awesome what I would like to see is you run the the cable behind the nozzle down around the back of the a back of the squiggle and out the very bottom so it would clean it up like 100 it would look amazing he says he's here yeah like I could just if you could I don't know if it's even possible like to hide the other stuff maybe you can hollow out the back of the nozzle there and then run the cable up along the filament light and then it'll be like super clean but cable management work in progress oh you gotta love that dude it looks so good talks awesome yeah I love that you can pretty much address them anywhere you want to nice work if you haven't checked out uh big jano on the twitches go check them out over there I know a lot of people are watching right now on twitch so hit them up over there um all right what do we got uh nail me retweets oh dude I tell you what ellie Weinstein Weinstein Weinstein um I finished my fully 3d printed marble on it's now five feet tall motorized and full rainbow we're going full mode on this check this out yeah this is amazing this is it let us know in the chat if this is awesome I think I would build this put like uh I don't know plexiglass around it and throw it in my house so my two-year-old they're almost two-year-old can't get to it but just let it watch I could watch this all day and he would probably absolutely love it man that's all these little contraptions because like I get um notification not like notification but like suggested videos things like these all the time on facebook for some weird reason probably just because of the 3d printing but I like always like focus because I want to know what the end result is now I'll watch these forever I I love it it is super cool um I think this is actually I believe a customizer I can't remember I think it might be called like marble customizer or something like that um I gotta look it up but I'll we'll find it and I'll get it out there because this is such a cool thing you can actually drop it and like customize your whole your own setup I'll you know make it everything you want it's super cool but this is an awesome project a ton of time went into this and I could watch that all day you need one for your shop you can just watch it while you're doing your sabers you know yeah uh even lightspeed fractal vase by clock spring in fulament matt filament 10 off with uh his link there if you check out his tweeters this was done on let's see the rat rig core 500 um you know what's funny this filament is super good I love fullaments matt filament that's super hard to say too um it never looks quite as matte as it is in real life when you take pictures of it though it is like I have about six rolls of it and it is awesome when it comes out yeah um it looks very nice red too I want to try it and it's a fractal base anything clock spring does is fire I mean he just released some new stuff today I think today or last night that's awesome right here uh it's not the brand new clock spring stl uh he released a couple today absolutely correct there so lord brit all right what else do we got here a bit older but I think it can still use some good hot makes talking about it um let's see this is uh all types of cool plotters using pens paint brushes charcoals crayons fire extinguishers uh I I need check this person out because it looks awesome but check oh I can't I can't expand oh yeah I can there we go check this out this is a plotter wow using a paint I'm guessing that's paint is that painting a car yeah it's like a fan um I mean there's a lot of splatter going on but like yeah I don't know but I this is pretty dang cool I don't know why it just the it's intriguing it's fun it's different um I'm curious what you could all plot with this paint sprayer I mean I mean I'm assuming if you like taped off the car and this would come off a lot cleaner but well the tires are covered come on that's a really good point like why are all of the time I got nothing I I'm really curious um whoa that's pretty sweet I don't know what's happening there yeah isometric ribbon tool processing um looks like this person has some really cool stuff on here I'm gonna have to check it out but nice work there uh I don't even anti goon I'm gonna go with anti goon I don't know it's very modern arty yeah very cool all right and last but not least Vicki brainstorming hands-on activities for my town's little peeps event and experimenting with combining stringing art with 3d printing at the same time nice nice I I love it um this is how 3d print bunny does her um a lot of her prints it uses stringing for all sorts of stuff you know to hold everything up and man cool idea that's cool I love seeing how much of this stuff like makes it to us after I see it like previously in the week like
