Transcripts
fine you win I'll make the freaking
Disney Castle coffee machine shadow look
it's been a couple of months now where
you guys have been sending me this one
real in particular of a Disney Castle
coffee machine the first time around it
was fine I looked at the DM I thought
okay AI art cool and I moved on with my
day but it didn't end there it did it I
mean it's been months where every single
time I open my DMs there's a new message
telling me to build it and I feel like I
can just hear your voices inside my head
going Build It Build It Build It build
it fine I'll build it I'm going to be
honest here and I might be wrong I don't
think it's a great idea mainly because
it's AI art it's never going to look
like that like it's it's 90% chance that
it will just be disappointing but I mean
there has to be something to this since
so many of you have asked me to build it
and I got to admit I'm kind of flattered
that so many of you think I can do this
a thanks and that's why I'm going to try
my very best to make this real let's
hope I can I'm not exactly sure how to
do all of this but a good place to start
is at least to get a coffee machine so
that's number one let's
[Music]
go hey here it is our coffee machine I
mean it's a pretty basic thing you have
a little lid for the coffee pods so
buttons water tank and a little spot for
the mug SL
pot yeah dude I mean that's nice and all
but the question Still
Remains how the heck are we going to
build this thing well I've thought about
it and what I'll not be doing is cutting
and gluing individual
bricks what I'm think thinking is a
combination of 3D printing foam and card
stock I realized that sounds awful
especially if you're new here uh so
maybe I can convince you this will be
remotely good if I explain how it's
going to look because my plan is to try
to take the water tank over there and
transform it into a tower but with some
little window cut out so you can still
see the water level on the inside then
of course this part down here still has
to be removable so I'm thinking to give
it like a little cobblestone look and
then at the front there on the big flat
area I want to build the main Castle
Gates maybe include a little bit of
lighting and then of course I'm going to
build a bunch of towers and spires to
really try to capture that magical fairy
tale look let's go
[Music]
Martina and yes I know two coffee
projects in a row like what's going on
are we a coffee Channel now like I don't
know I don't think so or maybe we always
were
[Music]
I made a 3D model of the Cofe machine
itself because this way I can save
myself a lot of time measuring stuff
because everything is just right on this
one so now we can start adding in some
detail and print it to the right size
from the get-go
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
now comes the time consuming part which
is 3D modeling and printing the castle
Gates and some of the other details
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
all right roof is 3D modeled I had to
slice it up into four different pieces
because it's too large to fit any of the
printers but at least it's now printing
two of the pieces it's going to take
freaking forever because it's so big so
I'm kind of just hoping nothing will go
wrong during the process cuz then I have
to start over and it's going to be a
waste of filament and just please guys
just stay strong soon going to be
over I'm mean it's been about a week and
a half of only modeling and printing and
these printers have been running 24/7
these poor little guys it's only that
roof left and then we have all our 3D
models this has taken so long that I've
also managed to like get a new scar on
my face I guess it's not that visible
since I have makeup over it but like
it's a it's a nice little thing and it's
quite swarmm but like it kind of just
looks like bowo so who knows I'd like to
say that it was Battle damage but I just
bumped my head on a rock in the forest
yeah very cool I'm getting sidetracked
anyway these are our models first of all
we have the castle Gates which I'm
pretty happy with how turn out just look
at the little detail they're going to be
like right above here with some stairs
leading up to them and of course there's
going to be lights on the inside then
over here we have this platform for the
coffee mug to sit on top of with some
nice Cobblestone patterns then up here
this Tower is going to be attached to
the lid of the water tank so we can just
go plop oh no no no no no why do I
always drop stuff is my name lonus or
what so when we want to refill the water
we can just go ploop refill pop it back
on then we have another Tower and
another Tower top and another one
they're all going to be a place around
here to make it nice and pointy so since
we have all the roofs and stuff we need
something to attach them to which I am
going to do foam brakes after all like
not individual breaks because he knew
what I'm going to do is I'm going to
make sheets of foam with brick patterns
cut into them I just need to get of
course it's the bottom
one okay I'm going to put the camera
down X foam my best friend oh it matches
for
shirt okay so we got xess foam hot wire
cutter and a fume extractor because the
foam can get kind of nasty when it gets
hot if you know what I mean first thing
I got to do is just cut some Square
pieces that are narrow enough to be
pushed under here because this boy is
not very tall let me just pop my guide
in
about there turn this on and this on and
now just got to push it through soft and
gentle burn my friends look at that cut
that's straight I'm going cut a couple
more and then we're going to narrow them
[Music]
down there we go look at this little
dude so sleepy oh I want to crush him
now just slim it down down I'm just
going to run them all through like and
we're going to be left with a nice stack
of foam now we go
[Music]
again listen up folks it's time for an
ad for this plate this plate makes these
awesome metal posters that you can hang
on your walls without using tools or
causing damage they've just launched a
brand new product line called display
Textra which combines different surface
finishes to create this super cool
Dynamic 3d effect I mean just look at
this and is so freaking pretty there's
already hundreds of best-selling
displays available with this new texture
finish and many more will come in the
following months if you order with fast
delivery you'll get your package within
4 to 5 days and when you do it's super
easy to attach with the included magnet
mounting system just wipe the wall put
the sticker on put the magnet on and
boom new decor and less than 30 seconds
which can also easily be switched out so
if you're interested this plate is
currently celebrating its birthday Woo
which of course means you can get the
biggest discount of the Year up to 42%
off if you use our link below or our
code nerd Forge at checkout and back to
the project we now have a bunch of these
foam sheets cut out I'm going to bring
these over to my personal assistant
William II because you and my friend are
going to help me cut out some brick
patterns to be honest my goal here is
just to do as little manual labor as I
possibly can laser cutting is really
just timesavers you know like I could do
it by hand done it many times
before just let me save some time okay
let's engrave got my brick pattern here
on a very very low power setting and
super speed because that thing is going
to burn right through so let us just go
and using to high speed yes and start
fan on go will him go so freaking
fast see not going through just
engraving the
surface perfect the patterns on these
aren't exactly very prominent so just to
enhance them a little bit I'm going to
use a pencil and just draw on the
patterns that's already there and once
we have our sheets then we can start
constructing our Castle let's
go you see what a difference that makes
so much more crisp and clear like this
actually looks like bricks all this
needs is a little bit of texture for
which we're going to use some aluminum
foil and no matter if I say aluminum or
aluminum there's going to be a fight in
the comments so just go ahead crinkle it
into a little ball like so and now we
just roll it on a little bit
aggressively but not too
much like honestly you have to push
Harder Than You Think to get the
patterns in there but once you do you
get this super cool like rock pattern I
mean it's kind of hard to see now but
once we paint this it's going to be very
visible that's the before and after we
have our foam brick sheets we have our
3D models so that means it's assembly
time

behold the Disney Castle coffee machine
oh I mean it's still unpainted so it
looks very fabulous and a little wonky
but I think this is actually shaping up
to be pretty cool I mean thanks to all
the little details in here so let me
just give you a little tour first of all
on this side we can actually remove the
entire Tower to refill the water how
cool is that and also over here we still
have access to to all the little buttons
blip blip blo then over here of course
we can still insert the coffee pods and
close it securely and yeah coffee comes
out down here this part can be removed
and replaced with the coffee pot nice
and fit and then we're going to have
some lights in the door here there's a
couple more cables at the back and that
is pretty much the features of the tower
oh yeah also this roof right here has to
be the biggest 3D print I've ever done
there's some visible lines between uh
the different parts I think I'm just
going to cover that with some glue it's
going to be fine and Al together I think
it's looking pretty nice actually not
too bad not too bad but of course what's
going to actually make this a Disney
Castle is the colors the Blue Roof the
pink stucco walls the stonework and all
the little gold details around the
windows and the roofs that's what's
Disney so that's what we're doing now
Disney F sounds like a Harry Potter
spell this is my favorite stage it's
just the most transformative stage where
it goes from this kind of blind canvas
into something that actually looks like
something you know it's just it's it's
the most satisfying I swear and that
means it's painday time woohoo
[Music]

[Music]
behold the Disney Castle Cofe machine AI
art turned real in only three short
weeks but I have to say overall I'm
pretty happy with how it turned out I
really think it has that Disney Vibe
with all the little gold details and
everything but of course what makes it
more magical is the lights and look at
those my favorite part has to be this
door down here just the engraved acrylic
turn out so pretty and these lights the
LED filaments it's incredible they give
off such strong light and it's so easy
to use cuz you just need a battery pack
with two able a batteries I haven't
actually tested this since I got it when
I just did a single test run so I think
it's about time we actually grab some
coffee pods and try to make some coffee
in the
machine there you
are little bag of
PODS all right so first pour in the
water I love how you can see the water
level from the window okay that's good
pop this back on and now put the mug in
place grab a pod
open seamlessly pop this in
in like so close it up and click the
button and the light shines red please
don't tell me it's broken I
did okay it's working is the light
supposed to be red I don't know is there
a coffee
coming I mean it sounds like it's doing
something oh Jesus
it works oh thank
God the smell and now taste test of
course oh it's disgusting I don't even
like this kind of coffee Hans do you
want this I'm good thanks I don't
actually know what to do with this
coffee machine cuz I already have my
awesome coffee making PC that makes
amazing coffee so I would love to hear
your suggestions down in the comments
let me know what to do I loved making
this it was a lot of fun so it's a win
still I just I I wanted to have a a nice
home help me find it but yeah I hope you
found it interesting to watch if you
didn't then I'm sorry please come back
next time and also of course a huge huge
thank you to our patrons for continuing
to support us you're freaking awesome
and now it is time let's have a look at
the final result
[Music]
okay okay yep by the way did you see the
new DM we got no on Instagram yes
