WEBVTT 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:09.600 scanning. Steels and stuff will take a lot longer. Fabrics will be pretty much instant. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:13.440 associated not sandblaster cleaning station and then we've also got our wall of FDM printers 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 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? 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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? 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 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 00:04:44.880 --> 00:04:51.360 printer initially and then this is just with some fabric dye. Rit. Really? Yep. And then 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:45.600 metal ones are printed when it goes into the sintering furnace it has the consistency of 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 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 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 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 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? 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:53.200 serious many years ago yeah I think working in a shoe factory in Transylvania was pretty 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 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. 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 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. 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 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. 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:13.360 but like imagine you were just prototyping these like yeah that'd be amazing. Oh yeah. 00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.080 Can we do more of this? I want to do more of this. 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 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. 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 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, 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 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 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.040 and look at our crazy boots.
