Hey guys, I'm the Hacksmith, and our most anticipated project is our Batman Grappling
hook gun with ascension winch.
Unfortunately I dislocated my shoulder during the last project, so I'm passing the Bat-Mantel
to Ian.
I'M BATMAN!
I'm glad we're on the same side.
I'M BATMAN!
Where'd Ian go with the grappling hook gun?
Alright, that worked great!
But there is some room for improvements.
In fact, our steel shaft actually... snapped!
A hardened steel shaft.
And the other part is actually 3D printed on our Markforged 3D printer using the Onyx
material which has carbon fiber in it, so it's pretty awesome that this part survived,
but a steel shaft, did not.
So we're going to have to revisit this design a little bit before we can fix this, and get
ready for the next test.
Luckily, the team's already hard at work, and we've got a design made, we'll just have
to get it manufactured.
Alright so once that's fixed, we plan on revisiting some of the original test locations from our
first video, including that grain silo, and probably the bridge!
This has actually been our most complex engineering project to date, we've spent hundreds and
hundreds of hours designing this thing -- and thousands of dollars.
And unfortunately we really don't make that much from YouTube ad revenue, so if you guys
really want to see more awesome projects from our channel, we need your support!
