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 --> 00:00:08,560 obsessed with them. Like my boss was teasing me about it. They are called the Morso boots, 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:14,720 Morso means fight and they're by a company called GCDS. They've got fine. So we thought 4 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:20,240 it would be a fun experiment to see if we could make some. You heard the plan from the fashion team 5 00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:25,760 now it's my job to take the idea and turn it into a physical product. The first step is going to be 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,200 getting a digital reference of our physical shoe. There's a couple ways to do that. The most basic 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:38,080 would be just to take a picture from the side and trace out the heel. But we've got access to 8 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,920 Neptune CT scanner now. So I'm going to stick a boot into the scanner and that's going to give us 9 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:52,000 a 3D model of the shoe that I can then build off of. The process of CT scanning can actually be 10 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,360 very variable. You can do the quickest scan in about 60 minutes or you can go up to about 11 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,560 24 hours. It all depends on how much resolution you want and what the materials that you're 12 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,600 scanning. Steels and stuff will take a lot longer. Fabrics will be pretty much instant. 13 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800 Once we've got that reference model I'll bring that into software. For most of the things that 14 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,320 we do here we actually use SOLIDWORKS which is great because we've got version control and we 15 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:24,880 can share the files between teams and keep on working off of each other. But for something 16 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,760 like this where it's going to be a lot of surface modeling and it's going to be not a final product 17 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,520 and prototype I'm going to use a software called Rhino 8. The process of modeling it will be pretty 18 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,000 simple and very similar to what we were talking about before where if you take a picture from the 19 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,480 side and trace the outline of the shoe but because I've got a 3D model of it or I will have a 3D 20 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:51,760 model of it it will be able to be even quicker and easier to make it mesh together. After we've 21 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,040 got the 3D model it's going to be sticking out on a 3D printer and for this video we're going to try 22 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,280 it on a few different things just to show them off. For this video we've got actually a few 23 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,160 different things we're going to print it on. We've got our Fuse SLS printer here and the 24 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:13,440 associated not sandblaster cleaning station and then we've also got our wall of FDM printers 25 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,640 that I will probably be printing on a bamboo and we've the last one we'll use is the Rapidia 26 00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:21,520 metal 3D printer that we've got in the other building. What have you got? What have you got? 27 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:29,440 We've got a couple different options. Okay. We've got the FDM printed ones on the bamboo. 28 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:41,040 We have the ones printed on the SLS on the fuse and then we kind of have metal ones. Okay these 29 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:48,160 are lethal. These are lethal but I love them. And they kind of hold together. We ran out of welding 30 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,080 gas and the timeline of this video means we don't have any gas. They could do some serious damage 31 00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:00,720 which I'm not opposed to but I'm not sure it's right for this boot. What's the difference between 32 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:07,040 these two then? Mostly the process. This one is basically made out of a bunch of powder that a 33 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,120 laser goes by and fuses it together and then this one is kind of like a hot glue gun where it just 34 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:20,080 extrudes material and builds it up. Okay and tell me about the trees. Yeah so this one because it's 35 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,520 a bunch of powder and it goes up layer by layer you don't need any support and it actually comes out 36 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:35,120 like this or they're still rough and it's called armor but you have to sandblast it off. 37 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:42,000 Oh yeah I can see that. And once you sandblast it off then it looks like this. These because it's 38 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,360 extruding up from the bottom you need something to support the top or else it would just kind of 39 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:53,360 drip and fall over. So that's what these tree supports are and you can pop them off. And do 40 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,560 you have to design those or is that? Nope the slicer just automatically does it but then you 41 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,440 can just pop them off. Oh that looks like fun. Can I do something? Yep. It's also easy to pop the 42 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:12,800 teeth off in this one. Am I really weak? Yeah. And once they actually start going it's actually not 43 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:22,960 bad but it's getting it detached from the top that's. Uh Hera loosened it for you. 44 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:30,480 And then this is one where it has none of the support on. I think we're going to have to 45 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,040 chrome like paint one of these. Which one do you think is going to take the paint better? 46 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,200 This one's probably going to be the nicest. Yeah. The layer lines are smaller. Okay. And it's probably 47 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:44,880 easier. Okay. We also have this is a dyed of the same print so this is how it comes out of the 48 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,360 printer initially and then this is just with some fabric dye. Rit. Really? Yep. And then 49 00:04:51,920 --> 00:05:00,560 makes it black or blacker. Oh cool. Yeah. Okay well so we can use we'll paint one of these then. 50 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:08,480 Yes and then actually interesting thing with the fuse prints so this is printed off not dyed or 51 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,000 anything but then if you actually cut into it it is black like the plastic's black it's just that the 52 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,400 surface texture makes it look gray. What are we going to do with all of these though? I feel like 53 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,400 we need to do a separate project with all of these. I don't know. I don't think we had any plan. 54 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,600 Oh look I can do I just was doing it the wrong way. There you go. Other thing with the metal one 55 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:40,240 since we have it the so these ones were all printed together with the process that the 56 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,600 metal ones are printed when it goes into the sintering furnace it has the consistency of 57 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:55,760 warm plasticine so if you printed it like this it would droop down and the fun thing with printing 58 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:05,040 metal is the support is also metal so if you do support like this inside the teeth it's going to 59 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,640 be really fun to take out it's possible but you have to be more clever about it. I'm probably 60 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:17,440 stronger than me. You need an angle grinder so but yeah so that's why they're printed like this 61 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,680 and we would have welded them together but are these are these solid or are these hollow? 62 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,480 Same as with these ones they've got these ones have 25 percent infill so they're mostly hollow 63 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,520 so they're lighter than they should be. There's still a good way though they're still 64 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:42,640 very aggressive. So it's painting time? I think it's painting time we'll paint these ones which 65 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:47,680 means this one has to be sandblasted which I guess we can get b-roll for that. You can see part of 66 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,880 the armor here that's been sandblasted off and then this hasn't been sandblasted. The purpose of 67 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:58,160 that we think is kind of to do with heat dissipation we're not a hundred percent sure they haven't 68 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,080 told us but yeah you get kind of a crust on the outside of the print and it just sandblasts off. 69 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,800 These are actually also fairly they're all sharp I've stabbed myself a few times. I mean violence 70 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,720 wasn't necessarily um violence is always the answer. I mean it wasn't in the brief but it's 71 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:25,440 definitely a little extra. It looks kind of sick with that little like with a little bit of like a 72 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:32,000 gradation yeah. That paint actually looks like it's not bad. It's it's actually really good. 73 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,040 I think it looks I think let's do it leave it like that for a moment and then see. Do another layer 74 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,680 after. Yeah I was part of the team that spray painted the wings for a very impressive movie 75 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:48,480 called Tooth Fairy with Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Are you serious? Yes. Would I lie to you? Yeah 76 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,200 serious many years ago yeah I think working in a shoe factory in Transylvania was pretty 77 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:01,440 yeah I don't know got me on the spot but um I think like I just started here what six months 78 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,600 ago seven months ago I think I'm gonna get a lot more of those. I think it's longer than six months. 79 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:12,000 You tired of me already? Yeah. I didn't think these would come out in school this way. It's 80 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:19,280 pure skills man pure skills. I think that's pretty good. I think those. They're good to me. Yeah. 81 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,920 Do you think they'll actually can I stand in them? Do you think I'll actually like 82 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:37,040 if I stand on my tippy toes? I would stand in like 50% I wouldn't trust your whole weight on them. 83 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,680 I just I'll just walk in my tippy toes. Yeah that should be fine. I'm used to these kind of 84 00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:47,680 high boots it's all good. Off camera I cut this boot a few days ago just to test fit the prints 85 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:52,880 and stuff and now we're just gonna band saw this heel off sit down and get it ready to glue the 86 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:59,280 heel on. There we go now we just have to sand it down the band saw blade has to be replaced. 87 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,720 What do you want to stick them with? Normally use something like epoxy or something for this 88 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:11,200 but we're just gonna use some hot glue because that's what this project is like. So which one 89 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:18,320 they're not quite um symmetrical right? No there's a left and a right and those will go there. This 90 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:25,440 is all my fine boots dreams come true and this is the before heel. Yeah. One of the other options 91 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,920 that we had if we didn't want to paint them is to do something like electroplating. Now we didn't 92 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,960 realize that we actually had an electroplating kit and in a very simplistic way it's basically just 93 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,720 a transfer of metal ions via a solution from a positive electrode to a negative one. So if we 94 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:46,080 ever want to do something further let us know in the comments and we can do something like electroplating 95 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,920 we even have something like anyone in whoever taken a beginner a chemistry level class will know 96 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,760 copper 2 sulfate pentahydrates so I mean the possibilities are in this. One of the things I 97 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:05,040 did while designing this was I gave a relief along the edge to try and hide the seam better. 98 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,280 What we're going to do is we're just going to run some glue here and call it a day. 99 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,600 This mini hot glue gun isn't the best either but you can just put hot glue on hit it with a torch 100 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,360 instead of using the hot glue gun. So on the metal ones that would work well just put a bunch of 101 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:29,920 glue hit it with a torch heated up. I'm so excited about these look at them. So I mean they actually 102 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:38,000 feel pretty sturdy they I mean for essentially a prototype they are amazing. Yeah they're sick 103 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,160 they're so sick. This is super short I'm really curious to see how they how they are when you 104 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:55,440 actually wear them. Lisa you want to give them a spin? Oh yeah. Oh yeah those are sick. Oh yeah they look 105 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:02,000 so good. Yeah I mean I might not wear them the rest of the day. Yeah. Let me see if I can put any 106 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,640 you know there's a definite bend. Yeah they flex. Yeah well we I mean we knew that was going to happen 107 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:13,360 but like imagine you were just prototyping these like yeah that'd be amazing. Oh yeah. 108 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,080 Can we do more of this? I want to do more of this. 109 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:28,880 So safe to say they lived up to your expectations? Yeah I'm so excited about these. I'm not actually 110 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,560 going to hear the end of this from Nick. Yes. He's going to tease me so bad but I don't care. 111 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,920 I know you have your boots. We got our boots. We would really love to do some more projects like 112 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,240 this so if you're interested leave a comment and we'll see what we can do. Leave a like, 113 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,240 like it up. Yeah I mean it'd be so cool to do a whole bunch of different fashion content kind of 114 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,080 like blending what we have together with some more stuff so hope you like this as much as we did 115 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,040 and look at our crazy boots.
