The passage describes a project to recreate a fully expandable Iron Man suit from the movie franchise. The creator starts by researching similar projects and finding inspiration from the movie's animation team. They then purchase a 3D digital model of the Mark V suit and start modifying the template to create a full metal suit.
The creator uses a crossfire pro cnc plasma cutter to cut out the parts from metal and designs the suit on Solidworks. They then start the construction process, starting with the legs, which are designed to collapse into a briefcase-sized case. The suit is designed to fit over the body like pants, with various segments such as the abs, arms, and chest that slide into place.
The creator uses magnets and nylon straps to create a slide mechanism for the abs and side plates. They also create a two-stage collapse mechanism for the legs. For the hands, they use full metal Iron Man hands from a previous project.
The chest piece, which doesn't need to expand, is created with lights for the arc reactor, motors for the arms, and batteries to power everything. The motor for the arms is controlled by an RC relay switch, which allows it to be controlled from a remote.
The creator is still working on the project and has reached the shoulders and neck stage. They expect to complete the project with the entire body, similar to how it's done in the movie.
1. The speaker is discussing a project to create a fully functional, limited edition Iron Man helmet. The helmet is designed to be expandable and gets put on the head automatically. It features a heads-up display in the eye and augmented reality with an AI voice assistant.
2. The speaker is also planning to create a video based on viewer suggestions. They have already created a similar project, but it is not as smooth or metal-like as they would like.
3. The speaker has started researching and found a 3D digital model of the Iron Man Mark V suit. They plan to use this model as a base and modify it to make a fully expanding metal Iron Man suit.
4. The speaker is using a machine called a crossfire pro cnc plasma cutter from langmuir to cut metal for the project. They plan to design the suit on solidworks, convert the 3D shapes to 2D sketches, cut them out using the plasma cutter, and then bend them back into 3D models.
5. The speaker has already completed the legs of the suit, using a two-stage collapse mechanism. They plan to do the same for the arms and chest.
6. The speaker has used magnets to keep the arms in line during the building process. They plan to use a similar technique for the side plates of the suit.
7. The speaker is planning to give away a 3D printer as part of a giveaway on their Instagram. They encourage their followers to make stuff and use a 3D printer to elevate their game.
8. The speaker has received several projects from their followers that they are proud of and have shared on their Instagram. They encourage their followers to make and share their own projects.
9. The speaker has completed the chest piece of the suit. They have added lights for the arc reactor, motors for the arms, and batteries to power everything.
10. The speaker has used a gear DC motor along with a little pulley to create a motor that pulls in the arm. They plan to control the arms from their hand using a remote control.
