If you're new to the channel I use the pinned comment to get any extra info across I might need to, as well as links to any upgrades to the build I might feature in a future video. Making the things I show in the video: The builds are all pretty straightforward to make, even if you just use 3mm magnets. Put it this way, all my examples in the video were made with blocks with all 3mm magnets, before I stuck 6mm ones in the bottom. Pausing the video will give you a good idea of how each one is built, so I thought I'd use this space to offer some tips on how to best build things so they're stable! When you're making things with these blocks, it's important to bear physics in mind. If you have bits sticking out, having a sloped section made of bricks and stairs supporting it will let you stretch that bit out further, and will also look more realistic more often than not. If you use 6mm magnets, either on the south poles or on a few blocks, you'll be able to stretch out these bridges further. Same thing goes for pillars and columns at the bottom, making some 'feet' from blocks and stairs on each side of the pillar can steady the piece dramatically. Generally speaking I found I only needed to add features like this where it might be expected for a structure to have supports anyway. Stone wall magnet hiding: So, in the cottage video I showed how to magnetise floor and wall tiles to connect WAY more easily, and I mentioned I would show how to hide the magnets away for when you want to use them stacked up. Essentially the method I used was the same as I show on these blocks, I used a hot glue gun nozzle to heat up the magnet and push it a little further in and get some space to fit the miliput. Again though, doing that is totally optional. Paint the magnets with tan-grey mixed with mod podge and they'll camouflage pretty well anyway.

Have you seen the use of spherical magnets? They are mostly used in 3d printed tiles but have a thing that makes them worth while : you dont have to worry about the magnet facing. The way its working is each magnet has a small enclosure in which it can rotate freely to mach another magnet. Its easy to do in 3d printed aterial - but its quite heavy so you wouldnt be able to make as amazing stairs as the ones in your video - but it gave me an idea - buy a piece of thin plastic tube, cut it to fit the spherical magnet and sealing one end with a piece of foil - you can just put it into hole in the middle of each cubes face - i need to test it out as it has potential!
@RPArchiveOfficial3 жыл бұрын
It has potential, the main problem is the distance between magnets is increased so the strength is decreased massively, so you need bigger and more expensive magnets...
@maciejmazur26223 жыл бұрын
@@RPArchiveOfficial i dont think foil + milliput would be much worse than what you did in the video, and it depends how much and from where you buy - i got mine off china and they were less than 10c per piece i think (5 mm spherical )
@RPArchiveOfficial3 жыл бұрын
Actually for this build you might be right. The foil definitely has potential. When I get the chance I'll look into it, might be difficult to get a hold of things soon, we're headed back into a harsher lockdown tomorrow.... And that's on top of brexit disruption etc :/

Hmm. If you're going to be making a bunch of them, I think you might be able to make a tool for making them. Make one, then get a negative impression of it by capturing each face with a bunch of high-temp epoxy or the like. Something that's made to be heated. You can then heat up the "negative" in a toaster oven (or even normal oven if you don't have, I guess) up to a point where it will slightly melt/deform the foam. Then push each side of the cube into the negative, melting in the impression. Would be super speedy to make a bunch of cubes when you're used to it. Plus, you could probably put the magnets in BEFORE the impression through a little slit, glue it closed, then do the impression, and as long as the glue is a bit flexible, the seam should be invisible. The tool shouldn't get hot enough that it can demagnetize the magnet, plus foam is usually a good insulator, so it shouldn't even feel it. Just a thought, though.

What if you partnered with someone who had some machining/CNC skills and make kind of like a 4-way clamp with deep brick texture on each clamping surface. Then you could just pop in the block, and tighten in the 4 sides and it'll imprint the texture into the foam. Take the block out and turn it on the side and just do 2 clamps to do the top and bottom. That'll help you crank hundreds of these things out in a fraction of the time.
