0:53 Is that fellow maybe a part of the Vintage Computing convention?

Johnny 5 at IMTS?

It's a shame that metal SLS printing isn't more affordable. All of those plastic pieces would be so much better that way since you could make them less solid yet still sturdy. Makes me wonder if anyone is working on building one from scratch in a home workshop.

Thank you for your sharing,Low cost solution

Have you ever engraved an aluminum receiver that has been Cerakote?

Make a bunch of the mini J5s, and let them loose in a Walmart, Costco, or other large store, and watch everyone's reactions! Maybe even take one to church a la Ray Stevens!

I’ll say it again: seeing my inspiration for robotics come alive once again is just such an honor to see happen! And with modern technology, all the things J5 could do in his movies (or at least his first movie) being possible to put in one robot, is just so cool!!! J5, you will be alive again…5+ times over, because I’m following other J5 builds as well! Speaking of which, I’m considering making a more stylized chibi version of J5 that is about as tall as the Meccano MAX robot, but a little taller, but also a bit wider. I’m thinking of making a CAD model that takes the existing design, and kinda shrinks and simplifies it to like an even cuter design, but still relatively slender so it doesn’t just look like J5 squished into WALL-E dimensions (nothing against WALL-E, I love that robot just as much as 5, but I don’t want to just mix the two together either.) and make it printable and buildable with the ability to work with inexpensive electronics like model R/C motors, and even some LEGO and Meccano parts if needed!

Maybe consider refrigerated freight.

I need 4 counter sunk 3mm hex screws please. That'll be $.50 and $18.00 shipping. F$#&

Project Binky is gonna be finished before this!

You know when you doubt and tell a certain knife manufacturer that he will not get it done in time. To quote “you just won’t”

Perhaps a heated chamber to test the parts you have

I made a part of this robot! woot! so stoked to see it coming together.

Very cool project! Loved that movie!

If you are able to make the robot get out of the crate and off the truck that carries it, just imagine the looks. Add some "expressions to it's face" and saying hello, moving arms, etc ... wow!

It’s probably too late, but it would have been really cool to see an update of all the parts specifically made by the community and donated. There was a lot of enthusiasm and pride on the initial request for community help.

This is similar to what i want to make, though i dont want a movie replica, I want to use it for some AI testing. Do you have the Cad files available somewhere?

PLA is garbage. PETG is far superior and just as easy to print.

Fantastic update. Thank you. Great to see the progress. 😊

I was thinking that one way to do the manual tool change would be to keep one pocket empty (p18 for example). Then tell it to go to p18 and pause. Then tell it to use T75 H75 D75 and manually put the tool in the spindle. Then if you want a safety check, command it to check for a broken tool to verify you put in the correct tool. Once the broken tool check passes, then it proceeds to automatic operations. I’m not familiar with writing macros, but you could do a lot of this with a pass through operation that could be saved as a template.

Keep going 🎉

need to call him 'Johnny McMaster 5'

5 is the only reason im a subscriber.

May be worth testing UV resistant spray coating for the PLA parts 🤔

Does AMT want to exhibit J5 at IMTS or will it be at a Vendor Booth?

kool

Great video!! Love seeing this project pickup steam!!

Los Locos kick your ass! Los Locos kick your face! Los Locos kick your balls into ouuuter spaaaace!

How about everybody in the J5 community getting together and create an online store with standardized J5 parts available for those persons who have or want to build a Johnny 5. The parts could be manufactured by the members who have manufactured them and have a list of the standardized parts that are still available commercially.

The call was for IMTS 2024 I’m guessing

I'd go with ABS-GF for the filament. Although I do have some PETG prints that have been through the Texas summer in a closed garage and are still holding their shape in a loaded position.

Thanks for the update John! Keep the momentum going on this project! It has been a long time coming!

would be cool to see James Bruton come in to help with the electronics and software.

The problem with machining compared to the other trades is the income-to-hassle ratio is terrible. In most markets a machinist earns at least $10/hr less than a welder, plumber, or electrician. Not to mention the other trades are much less susceptible to overseas-outsourcing.

Thanks for the video. I had a strange experience about post processing. Fusion 360 adds a Z0 command line along with the 28 and 90 before spindle motor starts and the bit dives like hell into the part. I fixed the issue by deleting that line then spindle motor stands still where I zeroed then starts spindle motor and starts carving as it should be.

im not getting the cnc selector option when I click on explorer with my .cps post open.

i have the link belts on my atlas th42 lathe they are awesome ad cut down the vibration considerable

Impressive!

They use other matsuura machines i wonder why didnt they go for matsuura own lumex 3d printers?

Where is this beautiful place located?

The REAL reason I am buying Arduino Leonardo... Is because my name is Leonardo. Take my money.

Does the free verson of fusion allow all this to happen? Did not know if i needed to pay for fusion to make parts like this on top of the purchase of your machine.

Lack of a master library is definitely a source of irritation. Even as a single user with a single machine, I have 2 computers I program from and there is no function to sync libraries between the 2 computers - say if I make changes or add a tool from my office PC, then go down to the garage. Those changes aren't there unless you create a "snapshot" of the library, manually export it from PC1, then import it onto PC2. Or if you're lucky, a recent file you worked from has all of the latest tools in it that you can draw from. I can imagine how this becomes an even bigger headache when you have multiple PC's, multiple users, multiple machines, etc. everything else is cloud based in fusion, why can't the tool library live and update itself with changes like any other file? Is there a functional reason it was set up that way?

I have a hallmark sensor activated Spider, that doesn't need all that, which I got in USA in 2014, when it stops working I'm going to pull it apart to see how it works off 2 AA batteries. It does have about 5 jokes that it speaks as it drops. Everything is inside the body of the spider though. This looks great though.

Fantastic video, thanks very much.

You are wrong and giving out stupid advice. A few decades ago, before LED lighting was a thing, I worked for a vending company in Maryland. My boss CJ invented these LED Strips to put in the vending machines in place of the long bulbs. This was to make the machines use less electricity, and to spend less time going to machines all over Maryland, Virginia, and DC, changing out light bulbs all the time. We made thousands of them in the basement of our warehouse, many of which I made by hand, one component at a time, soldered into place. I tried for a long time to convince CJ to get a Patent but he was always cheap and decided not to do it. Also I tried to convince him that if we can make this LED Strips to replace the long Fluorescent bulbs, then why not reconfigure that design into the traditional lightbulb shape to sell to the average homeowner. He said it would never work, and here we are decades later and he's now kicking himself for not listening to me. Also, another company liked our light strips so much, they decided to get a patent on them and manufacturer and sell them. They also sued my boss to force him to stop making them. They Won.

Do you still have your Boss Laser - was it worth it?

This is what You get from a teacher who loves what he is doing.!

It would slow things down but to ensure your spindle is empty, you could run a tool length detection to verify it fails.

No offense and no disrespect, but it's seriously disgusting that the world works the way it does. There's always someone taking a piece of something that someone else worked for. Why would a patent be $50k... like seriously!? Just people getting rich off of other people.
