hey everyone today I will be 3d printing a ram bone slingshot and converting it
a ram bone slingshot and converting it
a ram bone slingshot and converting it into a sling bow I’ve also created my
into a sling bow I’ve also created my
into a sling bow I’ve also created my very own custom cyberpunk PCB arrowheads
very own custom cyberpunk PCB arrowheads
very own custom cyberpunk PCB arrowheads [Music]
[Music]
[Music] here we have a really large piece of
here we have a really large piece of
here we have a really large piece of printed circuit board it was found in
printed circuit board it was found in
printed circuit board it was found in the parts bin at TechShop
the parts bin at TechShop
the parts bin at TechShop and it looks like it came from an old
and it looks like it came from an old
and it looks like it came from an old computer someone probably removed the
computer someone probably removed the
computer someone probably removed the micro processors here and that’s alright
micro processors here and that’s alright
micro processors here and that’s alright because I’m not actually going to use it
because I’m not actually going to use it
because I’m not actually going to use it for that purpose and if I wanted to I
for that purpose and if I wanted to I
for that purpose and if I wanted to I could salvage some of these resistors
could salvage some of these resistors
could salvage some of these resistors looks like there is a potentiometer here
looks like there is a potentiometer here
looks like there is a potentiometer here a capacitor and there’s lots of other
a capacitor and there’s lots of other
a capacitor and there’s lots of other little computer chips but for this
little computer chips but for this
little computer chips but for this project I basically just want materials
project I basically just want materials
project I basically just want materials to create some DIY survivalist
to create some DIY survivalist
to create some DIY survivalist arrowheads
arrowheads
arrowheads so here is I think the best out of the
so here is I think the best out of the
so here is I think the best out of the bunch and the reason that I want to
bunch and the reason that I want to
bunch and the reason that I want to experiment with printed circuit board is
experiment with printed circuit board is
experiment with printed circuit board is because I want to create a stun gun
because I want to create a stun gun
because I want to create a stun gun arrow now this is going to be in a later
arrow now this is going to be in a later
arrow now this is going to be in a later video but I need to see if this type of
video but I need to see if this type of
video but I need to see if this type of material can actually be used for the
material can actually be used for the
material can actually be used for the general purpose if it actually can stand
general purpose if it actually can stand
general purpose if it actually can stand up to some sort of target or if it’s
up to some sort of target or if it’s
up to some sort of target or if it’s going to break immediately I’m willing
going to break immediately I’m willing
going to break immediately I’m willing to bet that if I make it pointy enough
to bet that if I make it pointy enough
to bet that if I make it pointy enough it’s probably going to stab into
it’s probably going to stab into
it’s probably going to stab into something but I want to sort of test
something but I want to sort of test
something but I want to sort of test those limits now the way to make a stun
those limits now the way to make a stun
those limits now the way to make a stun gun arrow would be to have either two
gun arrow would be to have either two
gun arrow would be to have either two pieces that would have your positive and
pieces that would have your positive and
pieces that would have your positive and negative charge or you could have two
negative charge or you could have two
negative charge or you could have two lines of the positive and negative
lines of the positive and negative
lines of the positive and negative charge that run down the center of the
charge that run down the center of the
charge that run down the center of the arrow so you can imagine if this was
arrow so you can imagine if this was
arrow so you can imagine if this was clear how that would work and that way
clear how that would work and that way
clear how that would work and that way we have a really easy design for the
we have a really easy design for the
we have a really easy design for the beginning of our stun arrow I think that
beginning of our stun arrow I think that
beginning of our stun arrow I think that that would be really cool if I could
that would be really cool if I could
that would be really cool if I could pull it off but I have to see first if
pull it off but I have to see first if
pull it off but I have to see first if this type of material is worth working
this type of material is worth working
this type of material is worth working with or if I need to move on to
with or if I need to move on to
with or if I need to move on to something different
something different
something different whenever you’re creating something it’s
whenever you’re creating something it’s
whenever you’re creating something it’s really good to fail-fast
really good to fail-fast
really good to fail-fast figure out what doesn’t work so you
figure out what doesn’t work so you
figure out what doesn’t work so you don’t waste your time in the end
don’t waste your time in the end
don’t waste your time in the end whenever you’re polishing it all up and
whenever you’re polishing it all up and
whenever you’re polishing it all up and ready to go you find out that a very key
ready to go you find out that a very key
ready to go you find out that a very key feature doesn’t actually work it’s kind
feature doesn’t actually work it’s kind
feature doesn’t actually work it’s kind of a waste of time and then it’s back to
of a waste of time and then it’s back to
of a waste of time and then it’s back to the drawing board I chose this template
the drawing board I chose this template
the drawing board I chose this template because I think it works best with the
because I think it works best with the
because I think it works best with the diameter of this arrow now if you really
diameter of this arrow now if you really
diameter of this arrow now if you really want to get technical you could make
want to get technical you could make
want to get technical you could make your own arrows from scratch using like
your own arrows from scratch using like
your own arrows from scratch using like a dial rod there’s lots of tutorials out
a dial rod there’s lots of tutorials out
a dial rod there’s lots of tutorials out there that show you how to make your own
there that show you how to make your own
there that show you how to make your own arrows but for this project I’m just
arrows but for this project I’m just
arrows but for this project I’m just trying to create the arrowhead and to
trying to create the arrowhead and to
trying to create the arrowhead and to create a template you could just trace
create a template you could just trace
create a template you could just trace it out onto a much more durable
it out onto a much more durable
it out onto a much more durable cardstock or something like that but I
cardstock or something like that but I
cardstock or something like that but I have another interesting method that you
have another interesting method that you
have another interesting method that you guys might find cool so you take your
guys might find cool so you take your
guys might find cool so you take your template and you fold it back in half
template and you fold it back in half
template and you fold it back in half and another post-it note and since
and another post-it note and since
and another post-it note and since there’s a little bit of adhesive here it
there’s a little bit of adhesive here it
there’s a little bit of adhesive here it keeps it in place you line that up make
keeps it in place you line that up make
keeps it in place you line that up make sure that it’s basically seated the very
sure that it’s basically seated the very
sure that it’s basically seated the very back of this fold and then you take a
back of this fold and then you take a
back of this fold and then you take a pencil and using the flat end you want
pencil and using the flat end you want
pencil and using the flat end you want to just sort of outline that
and so the end result is a symmetrical
and so the end result is a symmetrical copy and then you just cut it out
copy and then you just cut it out
copy and then you just cut it out and there you go now this next part is
and there you go now this next part is
and there you go now this next part is really simple I basically just found the
really simple I basically just found the
really simple I basically just found the areas that I felt have the least amount
areas that I felt have the least amount
areas that I felt have the least amount of obstructions on both sides and used a
of obstructions on both sides and used a
of obstructions on both sides and used a washable glue stick to attach all of
washable glue stick to attach all of
washable glue stick to attach all of these little templates and that’s
these little templates and that’s
these little templates and that’s important because we’re going to want to
important because we’re going to want to
important because we’re going to want to peel this off in the end
peel this off in the end
peel this off in the end now I’m going to go to the bandsaw so I
now I’m going to go to the bandsaw so I
now I’m going to go to the bandsaw so I got some proper eye protection with base
got some proper eye protection with base
got some proper eye protection with base mask so you know I can’t get any uglier
mask so you know I can’t get any uglier
mask so you know I can’t get any uglier and I sound like Buzz Lightyear because
and I sound like Buzz Lightyear because
and I sound like Buzz Lightyear because I’ve challenged resin around
[Music]
[Music] [Applause]
[Applause]
[Applause] [Music]
[Music]
[Music] you
so I learned very quickly that whenever
so I learned very quickly that whenever you cut this material it gives off a
you cut this material it gives off a
you cut this material it gives off a horrid scent there’s probably some very
horrid scent there’s probably some very
horrid scent there’s probably some very harmful fumes that are being emitted so
harmful fumes that are being emitted so
harmful fumes that are being emitted so make sure you’re in a very well
make sure you’re in a very well
make sure you’re in a very well ventilated area you’re wearing a mask
ventilated area you’re wearing a mask
ventilated area you’re wearing a mask and always wear eye protection so I am
and always wear eye protection so I am
and always wear eye protection so I am just going to basically do those things
just going to basically do those things
just going to basically do those things save my ass
where is it written little my dreams
where is it written little my dreams must be small
must be small
must be small [Music]

so here we are it does look pretty nice
so here we are it does look pretty nice I think this one I like the bus
I think this one I like the bus
I think this one I like the bus leave a comment 1 2 3 or 4 feel like 3
leave a comment 1 2 3 or 4 feel like 3
leave a comment 1 2 3 or 4 feel like 3 really it looks like a Christmas tree
really it looks like a Christmas tree
really it looks like a Christmas tree I don’t know this one looks really cool
I don’t know this one looks really cool
I don’t know this one looks really cool too I’m curious to see what the other
too I’m curious to see what the other
too I’m curious to see what the other side looks like remember that I used a
side looks like remember that I used a
side looks like remember that I used a washable glue stick so I should be able
washable glue stick so I should be able
washable glue stick so I should be able to submerse these in water and this
to submerse these in water and this
to submerse these in water and this post-it note should just come right off
post-it note should just come right off
post-it note should just come right off so here we have a close-up of the
so here we have a close-up of the
so here we have a close-up of the finished product first I use some
finished product first I use some
finished product first I use some sandpaper to scuff up the surface and
sandpaper to scuff up the surface and
sandpaper to scuff up the surface and then used a little bit of superglue to
then used a little bit of superglue to
then used a little bit of superglue to adhere this tribal anchor to hold it
adhere this tribal anchor to hold it
adhere this tribal anchor to hold it together on both sides and then I
together on both sides and then I
together on both sides and then I further attached it using some Kevlar
further attached it using some Kevlar
further attached it using some Kevlar thread and two constrictor knots then to
thread and two constrictor knots then to
thread and two constrictor knots then to flare out the end of this tribal anchor
flare out the end of this tribal anchor
flare out the end of this tribal anchor I inserted a screw and just a little bit
I inserted a screw and just a little bit
I inserted a screw and just a little bit of overhang was left so that I could
of overhang was left so that I could
of overhang was left so that I could attach this rubber grommet now with the
attach this rubber grommet now with the
attach this rubber grommet now with the other ones
other ones
other ones I sort of wanted to experiment with how
I sort of wanted to experiment with how
I sort of wanted to experiment with how I could attach these and see which one
I could attach these and see which one
I could attach these and see which one had the best results this is just black
had the best results this is just black
had the best results this is just black electrical tape which is probably the
electrical tape which is probably the
electrical tape which is probably the fastest and easiest but it is very
fastest and easiest but it is very
fastest and easiest but it is very sturdy nevertheless kind of forms like a
sturdy nevertheless kind of forms like a
sturdy nevertheless kind of forms like a cast and it’s a little bit bulky and
cast and it’s a little bit bulky and
cast and it’s a little bit bulky and then this was actually the very last
then this was actually the very last
then this was actually the very last idea that I had and it’s interesting
idea that I had and it’s interesting
idea that I had and it’s interesting that it worked out because this wire
that it worked out because this wire
that it worked out because this wire actually allowed me to go into these
actually allowed me to go into these
actually allowed me to go into these little holes and you can see the very
little holes and you can see the very
little holes and you can see the very first one anchor goes through the PCB
first one anchor goes through the PCB
first one anchor goes through the PCB board and then I twisted it and then
board and then I twisted it and then
board and then I twisted it and then just can kept winding it now I know it’s
just can kept winding it now I know it’s
just can kept winding it now I know it’s not perfect but this is just kind of a
not perfect but this is just kind of a
not perfect but this is just kind of a quick and dirty survivalist maybe a

quick and dirty survivalist maybe a cyberpunk maybe like an urban
cyberpunk maybe like an urban

survivalist warfare or apocalyptic it’s pretty interesting and there’s
pretty interesting and there’s
pretty interesting and there’s definitely a lot of conversation I could
