2024-11-01 16:53:13 +0000 UTC View PostI'm making 2 plates and the first one is now done! One has the 3D Steel Lattice decoupler and the other has a Composite Decoupler. Once the 2nd is completely baked I'll wrap each with Ballistic Nylon and add straps prior to Ballistic Testing.
2024-10-27 20:09:20 +0000 UTC View PostI've passed the half-way mark on this plate build! The plate should be finalized and wrapped by later next week and I'm really hoping I can test next weekend or the one after, just depends on when my contact can get me setup to do firing tests with the 300MW on his property.
2024-10-26 14:23:49 +0000 UTC View PostI've just received my 1st Steel 3D print from PCBWay! This will be a panel insert as a decoupler between Boron Carbide tiles to see if I can get better performance out of a traditional style armor panel.
2024-10-15 14:20:47 +0000 UTC View PostI've gotten many iterations of lattices that I've tested against ballistics some have stopped rounds, some haven't. I'm targeting next week for my final analysis YouTube video along with posting a couple of the most impressive structures here as STLs for you to resin print for your own experiments!
2024-09-21 14:45:30 +0000 UTC View PostI've been quiet on my channels as I wrap up all the workshop electrical installs and Building x2 3D printers! But I've filmed and am editing my Resin Printing tutorial and I've got you Legends in here :)
I'm targeting Thursday or Friday to Publish across the channels! I'll peruse the names of folks in the Ledger of Legends tier the day bef...
2024-08-18 21:58:28 +0000 UTC View PostAs you all know, I'm building my workshop still; I'm installing more breakers and running electrical currently so I have integrated power and not extension cords all over. But! As with my builds, I like to add that extra touch of futurism. I'm using 3/4" metal conduit and have designed my own coupling package!
I'm currently in the coffee s...
2024-08-04 13:41:56 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve gotten the first prototype of the spinal battery for the suit running my electric Batman blades and can drive a lot more peripherals at up to 12Amps continuous draw with dual isolated cells so they can be damaged but continue running at full voltage. Updates coming to YouTube in a week!
2024-07-15 14:42:12 +0000 UTC View PostGreat job all, the post was taken down that was selling my printed files on Etsy! This is a big win to ensuring I can keep posting my builds on here for you to print & tinker with these builds yourselves as we all try to make awesome gear :)

2024-07-06 14:17:29 +0000 UTC View PostI've just started a much faster build! This should only take me a week or so -- I've designed on paper an inline-torsion spring loaded Batarang! Seems to be the first of its kind, it'll sit in a holster and you can grab it like a dagger and when you throw it, it expands out 🦇
I'll be posting the STLs as usual, once tolerances are...
2024-06-09 12:49:46 +0000 UTC View PostHere is the file which I created for my YouTube Tutorial on full PCB design! This is a simple circuit, but looks cool and is a great basis to learn and tinker with if you're looking to start making your own circuit boards :)
2024-05-25 19:28:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey crew! I've been spending a lot of time trying to derive this new Magnetic Drive version of the batman blades and it's getting close for me to post it for you all to try out yourselves! This one features the magnetic toggle function to snap in & out. The strap holders also got an update allowing the system to support a 3rd strap without i...
2024-04-28 13:46:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey crew!
I’m working on fine tuning updates to strengthen and allow for smoother action for the Retractable Batman Blades. So far it’s much better with updated angles and tolerances! I’ve still got more to do on the Batman Blades but while I’m making updates — is there specific issues you have encountered that I should consider...
2024-03-15 18:58:40 +0000 UTC View PostI've just finished posting a full assembly on YouTube for the V1 Batman Blade system for the files that you print here. As always, that's a great place to drop comments & thoughts of the build or desired improvements for this mechanism as I continue iterating the project!
2024-02-16 15:21:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey crew! For the Batman Gauntlet V1 model you will want to collect bits of hardware to assemble this. I'm a fan of the prime number 3 when designing so all bolts are 3mm diameter & bearings are all 3mm tall.

Hey makers, I've just organized all of my project source files into the Collections tab on here. This will make it much easier to find the downloads you're looking for in each Project. For Example, the 5 source versions of the Hidden Blade can be easily hopped between to pick which you want to download for comparisons & such...
2023-12-10 15:29:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey makers! Now that I've finalized and posted my V4 Arc Reactor on Etsy, I'm back to spending personal engineering time towards the blade. I'm looking into designs that would allow fully tensioned ejections (they would continue their ejection if stopped half-way for example).
I'm rebuilding the unibody in Blender as this is shaping ...
2023-12-03 15:11:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey makers! I got a question about cabling for this on how it returns to its open position (hammers back at each end). You can view the cable asset in the .blend file attached if you open it and look under the Hardware Collection (non printables) and click the Eye icon to unhide the cable. You'll see my intended routing of the cable! The squiggl...
2023-11-28 12:51:54 +0000 UTC View PostMy printer settings are as following for the Blender files to have correct tolerances. (I give 0.1mm to 0.3mm spacing between moving parts depending upon part-function in the Blender file).
----------------LAYERS----------------
First layer height is 0.2mm
Layer height is 0.15mm

2023-11-19 20:22:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe Blender files have the components and ya can measure in Blender to get the dimensions, but this post is to help simplify which hardware sizes as you prototype!

- Any thin bands that are just barely taught at 40...
2023-11-10 22:42:17 +0000 UTC View PostIf you zoom in and look closely to the little purple arrow -- you can see how the unibody now ramps over the blade. There is enough tolerance to let the blade fly in and out un-pinched but frees up creativity to design the sliders without concerns of having them remain shaped to hold the blade down!
By ramping out the blade edges, we get n...
2023-08-21 22:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostI want these blades to have extremely fast ejections as it looks awesome, but magnetics were not able to keep up with the increased velocities of recent models; the blade is now bouncing back in before the locks can bite in. I've been a bit quiet the past 2 weeks as I'm trying to derive a mechanism that allows for instant lock-bite while being l...
2023-07-30 15:42:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe released magnetic alternator prototype that is currently posted uses little 1mm axles to connect the hammers to the slider. I'm going to post the axle-less slider & hammers this week that you can swap into your experiments. These don't require hardware and are much easier to print!
2023-06-15 14:42:02 +0000 UTC View PostI’ve posted the magnetic blade mechanism up on YouTube! I’ll also be dropping the Blender & STLs on here later tonight!

2023-06-13 15:49:05 +0000 UTC View PostThis includes the source Blender file I created this hidden blade prototype with! This rotary mechanism is based off the Scottish yolk design created by Ammurna / Popularized by Colinfruze. Includes STL files for direct 3D printing of the parts.
This is my Gen 1 Blade model before going off an creating my unique pulley-latch system that is...

2023-05-21 15:18:10 +0000 UTC View PostHave been renovating a fixer-upper! Here is my update to the basement as I work to make this new space into a Cyberpunk style Industrial Research area for me to continue my builds! I've been unfortunately busy between the home & work so I'm hoping to start getting back into builds in the near future.
2021-10-04 00:25:19 +0000 UTC View PostHere is my DIY Arc Reactor build that turned out looking really great!
