1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560 A few months ago, I came across these boots and it's safe to say I became a little bit 2 00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:12,080 obsessed with them. Like, my boss was teasing me about it. They are called the Morso boots, Morso means fight, and they're by a company called GCDS. 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,680 They've got fun! So we thought it would be a fun experiment to see if we could make some. 4 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,920 You heard the plan from the fashion team, now it's my job to take the idea and turn 5 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:29,200 it into a physical product. The first step is going to be getting a digital reference of our physical shoe. 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:36,680 There's a couple ways to do that. The most basic would be just to take a picture from the side and trace out the heel. 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:42,160 But we've got access to Neptune CT scanner now, so I'm going to stick a boot into the 8 00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:49,400 scanner and that's going to give us a 3D model of the shoe that I can then build off of. 9 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,980 The process of CT scanning can actually be very variable. 10 00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:58,520 You can do the quickest scan in about 60 minutes, or you can go up to about 24 hours. 11 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:04,800 It all depends on how much resolution you want and what the materials that you're scanning. 12 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,840 Steels and stuff will take a lot longer, fabrics will be pretty much instant. 13 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,120 Once we've got that reference model, I'll bring that into software. 14 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,440 For most of the things that we do here, we actually use SOLIDWORKS, which is great because 15 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,000 we've got version control and we can share the files between teams and keep on working 16 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,480 off of each other. But for something like this where it's going to be a lot of surface modeling, and it's 17 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:33,540 going to be not a final product and prototype, I'm going to use a software called Rhino 8. 18 00:01:33,540 --> 00:01:38,200 The process of modeling it will be pretty simple and very similar to what we were talking 19 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:44,040 about before where if you take a picture from the side and trace the outline of the shoe, 20 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,160 but because I've got a 3D model of it, or I will have a 3D model of it, it will be able 21 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,680 to be even quicker and easier to make it mesh together. 22 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,320 After we've got the 3D model, it's going to be sticking out on a 3D printer and for 23 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,760 this video, we're going to try it on a few different things just to show them off. 24 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,960 For this video, we've got actually a few different things we're going to print it on. 25 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:10,280 We've got our Fuse SLS printer here and the associated not sandblaster cleaning station. 26 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:16,240 And then we've also got our wall of FDM printers that I will probably be printing on a bamboo. 27 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,480 And the last one we'll use is the Rapidea Metal 3D printer that we've got in the other 28 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480 building. What have you got? What have you got? 29 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:30,680 A couple different options. Okay. We've got the FDM printed ones on the bamboo. 30 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:36,800 We have the ones printed on the SLS on the Fuse. 31 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,840 And then we kind of have metal ones. 32 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Okay, these are lethal. These are lethal, but I love them. 33 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,400 And they kind of hold together. 34 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,600 We ran out of welding gas and the timeline of this video means we don't have any gas. 35 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,160 And they could do some serious damage, which I'm not opposed to, but I'm not sure it's 36 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,760 right for this boot. No. Yeah. 37 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,640 What's the difference between these two? Mostly the process. 38 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:09,000 This one is basically made out of a bunch of powder that a laser goes by and fuses it 39 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,920 together. And then this one is kind of like a hot glue gun where it just extrudes material and builds 40 00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,920 it up. Okay. And tell me about the trees. 41 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:22,520 Yeah. So this one, because it's a bunch of powder and it goes up layer by layer, you don't 42 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:33,880 need any support. And it actually comes out like this or there's still rough and it's called armor, but you 43 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,040 have to sandblast it off. Oh yeah. I can see that. 44 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,800 And once you sandblast it off, then it looks like this. 45 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,680 These, because it's extruding up from the bottom, you need something to support the top 46 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:53,380 or else it would just kind of drip and fall over. So that's what these tree supports are and you can pop them off. 47 00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:57,180 And do you have to design those or is that, does that happen? Nope. 48 00:03:57,180 --> 00:04:01,020 The slicer just automatically does it, but then you can just pop them off. Oh that looks like fun. 49 00:04:01,020 --> 00:04:04,020 Can I, can I do something? Yep. 50 00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:08,060 Yep. It's also easy to pop the teeth off in this one. Am I really weak? 51 00:04:08,060 --> 00:04:15,340 Yeah. And once they actually start going, it's actually not bad, but it's getting it detached from 52 00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:25,660 the top that's, here I loosened it for you. 53 00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:29,340 And then this is one where it has none of the support on. 54 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:33,300 I think we're going to have to chrome like paint one of these. 55 00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:37,060 Which one do you think is going to take the paint better? This one's probably going to be the nicest. 56 00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:40,300 The layer lines are smaller and it's probably easier. 57 00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,980 We also have, this is a dyed of the same print. 58 00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:49,740 So this is how it comes out of the printer initially. And then this is just with some fabric dye, RIT. 59 00:04:49,740 --> 00:04:54,460 Really? Yep. And then it makes it black. 60 00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:57,460 Or blacker. Oh, cool. Yeah. 61 00:04:57,460 --> 00:05:00,740 Okay. Well, so we can use, we'll paint one of these then. 62 00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:06,740 Yes. And then actually, interesting thing with the fuse prints. 63 00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:13,300 So this is printed off, not dyed or anything. But then if you actually cut into it, it is black, like the plastic's black. 64 00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:17,900 It's just that the surface texture makes it look gray. What are we going to do with all of these though? 65 00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:22,580 I feel like we need to do a separate project with all of these. I don't know. 66 00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:26,620 I don't think we had any plan. Oh, look, I can do. 67 00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:29,620 I just was doing it the wrong way. There you go. 68 00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:38,740 Other thing with the metal one, since we have it, the, so these ones were all printed together 69 00:05:38,740 --> 00:05:44,020 With the process that the metal ones are printed, when it goes into the sintering furnace, 70 00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:48,720 it has the consistency of warm plasticine. 71 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,660 So if you printed it like this, it would droop down. 72 00:05:54,660 --> 00:06:01,260 And the fun thing with printing metal is the support is also metal. 73 00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:05,900 So if you do support like this inside the teeth, it's going to be really fun to take 74 00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:10,340 out. It's possible, but you have to be more clever about it. 75 00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:14,140 I'm probably stronger than me. You need an angle grinder. 76 00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:17,820 So, but yeah, so that's why they're printed like this. 77 00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:24,020 And we would have welded them together, but. Are these solid or are these hollow? 78 00:06:24,020 --> 00:06:29,860 Same as with these ones, they've got, these ones have 25% infill, so they're mostly hollow. 79 00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:33,380 So they're lighter than they should be. They're still a good weight though. 80 00:06:33,380 --> 00:06:36,820 They're still very aggressive. 81 00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:40,540 So it was painting time? I think it's painting time. 82 00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:45,900 We'll paint these ones, which means this one has to be sandblasted, which I guess we can 83 00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:51,020 get B roll for that. You can see part of the armor here that's been sandblasted off, and then this hasn't 84 00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:56,460 been sandblasted. The purpose of that, we think is kind of to do with heat dissipation. 85 00:06:56,460 --> 00:07:01,660 We're not 100% sure they haven't told us, but yeah, you get kind of a crust on the outside 86 00:07:01,660 --> 00:07:05,980 of the print, and it just sandblasts off. These are actually also fairly. 87 00:07:05,980 --> 00:07:15,100 They're all sharp. I've stabbed myself a few times. I mean, violence wasn't necessarily, I mean, it wasn't in the brief, but it's definitely 88 00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:22,020 a little extra. 89 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:28,820 It looks kind of sick with that little like, with a little bit of like a gradation, yeah. 90 00:07:28,820 --> 00:07:32,740 That paint actually looks like it's not bad. It's actually really good. 91 00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:36,500 I think it looks, I think let's leave it like that for a moment and then see. 92 00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:41,940 Do another layer after. Yeah. I was part of the team that spray painted the wings for a very impressive movie called 93 00:07:41,940 --> 00:07:45,380 Tooth Fairy with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Are you serious? 94 00:07:45,380 --> 00:07:48,380 Yes. Would I lie to you? No. 95 00:07:48,380 --> 00:07:51,380 That's sick. Yeah, serious. Many years ago. 96 00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:54,380 Yeah. I think working in a shoe factory in Transylvania was pretty cool too. 97 00:07:54,380 --> 00:07:57,380 Yeah. I don't know. It got me on the spot. 98 00:07:57,380 --> 00:08:01,220 But I think, like I just started to clear what. 99 00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:04,300 Six months ago, seven months ago. I think I'm going to get a lot more of those. 100 00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:07,860 I think it's longer than six months. You tired of me already? Yeah. 101 00:08:07,860 --> 00:08:12,060 I didn't think these would come out in real school, but it's like already off. 102 00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:15,700 It's pure skills, man, pure skills. I think that's pretty good. 103 00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:18,700 I think those. They look good to me. 104 00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:28,900 Yeah. I'm excited. Do you think they'll actually, can I stand in them? 105 00:08:28,900 --> 00:08:33,020 Do you think I'll actually, like, if I stand in my tippy toes? 106 00:08:33,020 --> 00:08:37,700 I would stand in, like, 50 percent? I wouldn't trust your whole weight on them. 107 00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,980 I just, I'll just walk in my tippy toes. Yeah. 108 00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:43,980 That should be fine. I'm used to these kind of high boots. It's all good. 109 00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:48,620 Off camera, I cut this boot a few days ago just to test fit the prints and stuff. 110 00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:52,860 And now we're just going to band saw this heel off, sit down and get it ready to glue 111 00:08:52,860 --> 00:08:56,780 the heel on. There we go. Now we just have to sand it down. 112 00:08:56,780 --> 00:09:01,660 The band saw blade has to be replaced. What do you want to stick them with? 113 00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:06,140 Normally use something like epoxy or something for this, but we're just going to use some 114 00:09:06,140 --> 00:09:10,580 hot glue because that's what this project is like. 115 00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:13,980 So which one? They're not quite symmetrical, right? 116 00:09:13,980 --> 00:09:17,180 No, there's a left and a right. 117 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:21,660 And those will go there. This is all my fine boots dreams come true. 118 00:09:21,660 --> 00:09:24,340 And this is the before heel. Yeah. 119 00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:28,380 One of the other options that we had, if we didn't want to paint them, is to do something 120 00:09:28,380 --> 00:09:32,740 like electroplating. Now, we didn't realize that we actually had an electroplating kit. 121 00:09:32,740 --> 00:09:37,580 And in a very simplistic way, it's basically just a transfer of metal ions via a solution 122 00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:44,660 from a positive electrode to a negative one. So if we ever want to do something further, let us know in the comments and we can do 123 00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:51,820 something like electroplating. We even have something like anyone in whoever taken a beginner, a chemistry level class will 124 00:09:51,820 --> 00:09:57,300 know copper to sulfate pentahydrates. So I mean, the possibilities are in this. 125 00:09:57,300 --> 00:10:02,340 One of the things I did while designing this was I gave a relief along the edge to try 126 00:10:02,340 --> 00:10:06,220 and hide the seam better. 127 00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:10,180 What we're going to do is we're just going to run some glue here and call it a day. 128 00:10:10,180 --> 00:10:15,180 This mini hot glue gun isn't the best either, but you can just put hot glue on it with a 129 00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:19,140 torch instead of using the hot glue gun. 130 00:10:19,140 --> 00:10:23,820 So on the metal ones, that would work well. Just put a bunch of glue, hit it with a torch, heat it up. 131 00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:27,780 I'm so excited about these, look at them. 132 00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:31,540 So I mean, they actually feel pretty sturdy. 133 00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:36,820 They, I mean, for essentially a prototype, they are, they're amazing. 134 00:10:36,820 --> 00:10:40,320 Yeah, they're sick. They're so sick. This is super short. 135 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,300 I'm really curious to see how they, how they are when you actually wear them. 136 00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:49,100 Lisa, you want to give them a spin? Oh yeah. Those are sick. 137 00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:52,100 They look so good. They look so good. Yeah. 138 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,100 I mean, I might not wear them the rest of the day. Yeah. Let me see if I can put any. 139 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,100 Yeah, no, there's a definite bend. Yeah, they flex. Yeah. 140 00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:02,100 Well, we, I mean, we knew that was going to happen. But like imagine you were just prototyping these like, yeah, that'd be amazing. 141 00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:05,100 Oh yeah. Can we do more of this? I want to do more of this. 142 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:08,100 Oh. Oh. Yeah. 143 00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,100 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 144 00:11:11,100 --> 00:11:14,100 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 145 00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,100 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 146 00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:24,100 Woo. So safe to say they lived up to your expectations. 147 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:27,100 Yeah. I'm so excited about this. 148 00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:31,100 I'm not actually going to hear the end of this from Nick. 149 00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:35,100 Yes. He's going to tease me so bad, but I don't care. 150 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,100 I know. You have your boots. We got our boots. 151 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:44,100 We would really love to do some more projects like this. So if you're interested, leave a comment and we'll see what we can do. 152 00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:50,100 Leave a like. Like it up. I mean, it'd be so cool to do a whole bunch of different fashion content. 153 00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:53,100 Kind of like blending what we have together with some more stuff. 154 00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:59,100 So hope you like this as much as we did and look at our crazy boots.
