The speaker, a 3D artist named Mr. B, discusses his recent achievement of surpassing 100 million subscribers on YouTube, a feat that earned him the Red Diamond play button from the platform. Despite his success, he expresses his ambition to create a more impressive play button than YouTube's, particularly for popular YouTuber Mr. Beast.
The speaker collaborates with a friend, Tristan, to design a unique play button for Mr. Beast, featuring a 3D Mr. Beast head in a jagged shape, with a liquid Venom blob holding it up. The eyes are designed to resemble authentic red diamonds. Despite the complexity of the project, the speaker is determined to complete it, despite the challenges and potential costs.
The speaker decides to use a 3D printer that uses liquid resin, which allows for greater detail in the design. However, this process requires the model to be printed upside down, with support added to prevent it from falling off. The prints are then coated in a special resin, which is then covered in silica sand and heated to create an empty cavity. This process, known as lost wax casting, is then filled with aluminum to create the final product.
The speaker notes that the real challenge lies in obtaining the red diamond crystal, which is essential to the design's appeal. After much effort, he manages to source two baccarat crystals for the project. However, he faces a significant setback when he realizes that all foundries are busy during the holiday season, making it impossible to complete the project on time.
Despite the hurdles, the speaker decides to proceed with the project, relying on a small team of painters to finish the design. The final result, while not made of metal, promises to be visually stunning and is set to be delivered to Mr. Beast. The speaker ends the video expressing his hope for Mr. Beast's reaction to the final product, and encourages viewers to subscribe to his channel to see it.
