HOLY $H!T- US$7,000 3D Printed Robot! 'HMC Galahad'

The HMS Galahad: A Revolutionary Robot Toy Kinetic Sculpture

I am thrilled to introduce you to one of the most impressive and innovative robot toys I have ever had the pleasure of showcasing. The HMS Galahad is not just a cleverly designed mechanical device, but an intricate masterpiece that showcases the ingenuity and creativity of its creator, Mr. Sing. As we embark on this tour of the Galahad, you will discover the meticulous attention to detail that has gone into every aspect of its construction.

The Main Gun: A Marvel of Engineering

Let's begin with the main gun, which is undoubtedly the crowning jewel of the HMS Galahad. Not only is it an impressive sight to behold, but its engineering is also noteworthy. The barrel is rifled on the inside, ensuring that the ammunition travels in a smooth and accurate trajectory. As we move around to the back of the device, you'll notice a team of soldiers stationed at the rear, ready to take aim. When the engine smoke clears, the lighting system kicks into action, illuminating the intricate mechanisms within.

The Access Staircase: A Ingenious Touch

One of the most delightful features of the HMS Galahad is the access staircase that leads up to the top rotating turret. This clever design allows an operator to ascend to the command center, providing a unique perspective on the device's inner workings. The attention to detail in this design is impressive, with even small components like acupuncture needles serving as antennae.

Weathered and Weathered: A Masterclass in Aging

The HMS Galahad's weathered paint job is a testament to the dedication of its creator. With over 180-200 hours of construction time invested, Mr. Sing has painstakingly crafted every detail, from the rusted metal surfaces to the worn wooden accents. This attention to aging has resulted in an authentic, battle-worn look that belies the device's true capabilities.

Sentry Mode: The Galahad Takes Action

Now it's time for the HMS Galahad to enter Sentry mode. Watch as the top turret slowly rotates, scanning for targets. When a threat is detected, the Galahad springs into action, firing its array of cannons with devastating precision. This demo showcases the device's impressive firepower and versatility.

The Gatlings: A Marvel of Mechanical Animation

As we move on to the gatling guns on either side of the Galahad, you'll notice a remarkable mechanical animation system at work. The left arm gun rotates realistically, while the right arm gun features a recoil action that includes the legs. This complex mechanism is a testament to Mr. Sing's innovative design.

Demo Number Three: The Galahad Takes a Walk

But the HMS Galahad doesn't stop there! In demo number three, we're treated to an unforgettable sight – the device taking its first steps. Watch as it shuffles and moves around, its legs shifting in a remarkably realistic motion. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Mr. Sing's craftsmanship.

The Big Finish: The Galahad Unleashes Its Full Potential

And finally, we arrive at the pièce de résistance – the largest gun on the HMS Galahad. Watch as it fires a massive (albeit scaled-down) cannonball into the distance. This explosive finale is a fitting conclusion to our tour of this magnificent device.

Mass Drop: The Ultimate Community-Driven Shopping Experience

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis episode of holy sh is going to be a little unusual because I don't have anything nope we had a special guest this is Michael S and he has brought with him the HMC Galahad a 3D printed the kinetic sculpture robot whatever you want to call it that if you factor in his labor at even a mere 20 bucks an hour is worth over 7,000 us tunnel bear is the easy to ouse VPN service that lets you use the web as though you are in one of 20 different countries learn more and try tunnel bear for free at the link in the video description let's start with a breakdown of that cost because to print something to this degree of quality and at this size would require a 3D printer costing about A4 million about $3,000 of that cost of the machine went to shapeways there's about another $200 in the cost of the electronics that run the whole thing including the 18 freaking servos not to mention the vibration Motors and all of that stuff and then by my rough napkin math about $4,000 of it is in the detailing which we'll get into in a little bit more detail later in terms of other key specs the HMC Galahad has six legs six genuinely moving legs by the way including access hatches doors and windows all of which open it's got 24 guns along the bottom half of its egg likee structure most of which are anti-personnel type weapons then it has an additional nine guns in the top half including two very very large cannons it has search lights in the top that actually move and are also capable of being shuttered just in case you know you don't want them to get shot out by an attacker or whatever the case may be and it includes even amazingly cool little details like check this out there's a service staircase or an access staircase for someone to get up into the top rotating turret which I guess leads us pretty well into a tour of some of the other Immaculate details that went into the creation of this I'm afraid to call it a product Cuz Mr Sing has only created two of them so far the main gun here which actually fires by the way is rifled on the inside of the barrel if you come around to the back you can see we've actually got some soldiers that are that are that are Manning the uh the HMS Galahad here when the engine smoke goes there's actually some lighting back here it's got a 7.4v 3700 milliamp battery that is enough to run it for a while but it doesn't deliver enough current to run everything concurrently so all the switches back here allow you to run certain things but not others because this is more of a demo than anything else moving around over to this side check this out just these little things are so cute these are accupuncture needles right here that are acting as a little antenna here and of course I've been glossing over the Fantastic weathered warn rusted paint job that's going on here that accounted for something to the tune of 180 to 2 200 hours of the construction time the actual assembly only took a couple of days function number one we're going to put the Galahad into what I'm going to call Sentry mode there we go and what you're going to see is the top turret is going to start to slowly rotate looking for a Target when it sees a Target look at that it fires next up we've got most of the rest of the guns so most of the ones along the bottom are on vibration Motors so they look like they got that firing action but some of them actually have a a similar firing in Bank sort of mechanism going on the gatlings on the left rotate realistically and the right arm gun this one's cool this one actually has a recoil action that includes the legs moving as well demo number three yes my friends it walks although I don't know if uh walk is as appropriate a term as Lumber would be look at the way look at the way it moves the whole thing shifts around very cool which leads us to the big finish which as you guys always know involves the uh biggest gun and the largest load this well it's a pingpong ball but it looks like a cannonball right here and fire oh there it goes okay the angles need to be tweaked a little bit we get that but uh there you have it folks this is the HMS Galahad by far the
