Overwatch 2 is coming so let me show you some of our best Overwatch one projects
that we made, in real life.
Welcome to the Hacksmith Vault! Where we revisit, revamp, and revise some of the
best Hacksmith projects based on your suggestions.
On today's episode we're revisiting everything Overwatch since Overwatch 2 is coming.
Shortly after we finished the first few Overwatch projects Bogdan
actually started working for us full time.
He asked if we could build the Zarya particle cannon
and for some reason I said yes. Which led to one of our most complicated
and longest Make it Real projects we've ever done. For some reason we're
storing it up here in the ceiling right now.
This thing is our biggest 3D printed project ever.
It actually used over 30 kilograms of PETG filament. If we printed it on a
normal printer it would have taken tens of thousands of
hours to print all the pieces. I'm pretty sure there's 38 pieces that
we actually glued together and it's actually functional.
That's an 80 watt Co2 laser inside the same kind used in my CNC laser cutter.
So this was actually able to ignite
flammables from a distance and look really cool while doing it.
That's pretty sweet!
Die zombie die!
Man I really can't see where this thing's shooting with these laser goggles.
Ah!
I see smoke! Oh we've gone through. I think we're burning a hole in the
thing behind it.
Did you know Youtube members and Patreon supporters get access to our videos early?
Plus our supporters also get,
access to most of our CAD designs,
get cool Hacksmith emojis next to their username, get access to private channels
in our discord server.
Big thank you to our latest Youtube
Members and Patreon supporters.
So our next Overwatch project is a super cool one
and by cool...
I actually mean cold! Mei's ice cannon.
This one was actually really cool because it was made by one of our
Hacksmith interns from the University of Waterloo.
A girl named Elena who was awesome and she made this fantastic
project that shoots sub-zero gas.
Oh nice hair!
Another fun Overwatch project that we actually did as a collab with both Jairus of All and Fullmetal Engineer.
Is the Doomfist! Now true fans of the
channel will actually recognize this from another project.
Yep it's true the Doomfist portion of the Doomfist is actually the Hulk fist
that we use to pommel and absolutely destroy a ton of stuff.
Which is really fun by the way but the Doomfist took it a step further.
We have six pneumatic cylinders that can extend the fist
at super fast speeds about six inches into whatever you want.
How the heck are we going to power this thing? It's going to take a lot of
air to actuate those cylinders.
Well, remember my exoskeleton?
Our very first Overwatch project was a fun one. We actually made
Reinhardt's rocket hammer. *lifting noises* This thing weighs like 20 kilograms plus,
you can actually put a Class G rocket in the back for some utter destruction.
Now this project was a lot of fun. There is something so satisfying
about using a giant freaking hammer.
We're gonna put a rocket into the back and show how much extra power that rocket adds.
Alright so we're loading up the rocket hammer with
a model rocket engine. Let's see what this thing can do.
Now another Overwatch project that we attempted was Torbjorn's turret.
The issue was we did it a long time ago before we had the proper resources.
It didn't quite look as good as it could have.
I gotta say it was actually pretty cool and worked quite well.
Now you guys might be asking whatever happened to that Torbjorn turret?
So we actually reused it for a different project. One you might remember and one
that was quite a bit more fun actually a Nerf turret chair.
I mean the chair is not attached anymore, but there was a chair on there and you
could literally ride it. Shooting Nerf darts at your enemies.
We've programmed the pixie to track the blue of Captain America's shield.
Now let's see if it can actually track it using the turret. So as you can see
the turret is following the blue signature
of the shield now the automated tracking is really cool but we also added a
manual mode so you can use it with a remote.
Plus did I mention how strong this thing is? It uses two 24
volt gear DC motors.
It's got a bit of power to it.
In manual mode you can use the FPV module to see exactly what the turret is looking at.
Whoa whoa whoa that's cheating do it right.
And finally before some of our projects become true Make it Real projects.
We make a prototype and we actually made a prototype of Genji's sword out of easy
to use materials. Acrylic and wood, and I gotta say the
prop was pretty cool, but we never ended up making a real
steel version of Genji's katana.
But the real question is how does the sword perform in a real cutting test?
I don't know what you're expecting.
