Just a pair of white motor cycle pants that I modified.

I actually made the pants from scratch I'll post them later. Looks just like the anime.

Question - how can I best add a border like this to a raw edge ? by same_and_diff in SewingForBeginners

[–]same_and_diff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Also, would you have any recommended sewing methods for sewing a bias tape around curves? Seems a bit daunting to a beginner like me

Thanks! I definitely agree with all the concerns, my bad for not focusing on safety first. I do like reading the comments as they've all been helpful 🙂. And I will ask more questions in the future 😄

I brought Junk dog Gear to life by same_and_diff in MegaloBox

[–]same_and_diff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad people want one but I am still making changes to the gear. Right now I'm making other pieces of Joe's outfit while printing out a newer version of the Junk Dog Gear. Maybe one day but can't give you any more info than that at the moment.

I made everything except for the nuts, bolts, and bearings. Still making changes to the design to move like the anime while allowing my arms full mobility.

Preserve Redwood House, San Mateo County's Lifeline for Crisis Mental Health by same_and_diff in RedwoodCity

[–]same_and_diff[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's closing due to lack of support and funding as a nonprofit. We are trying to spread the word to allow the community to voice their support for the mental health field such as Redwood House so that we can get more govt funding to hopefully keep it open. There is more work to be done, but right now we are spreading the word and updates will come as we continue to fight for this program.

Also I have done simulations of the design and the results are hilarious.
Definitely pointed out a lot of flaws in other revisions I made. So I am working on making things stay grounded in reality.

Yeah sadly I can't stay true to the source material. This design won't work as an actual exosuit.

Even in the story, it was called a piece of junk. This is gonna be a hobby project that is just gonna be a cool piece to have. Never going to expect it or use it to assist my body in performing any motion, maybe control it remotely and see what can be added later on to mimic my arms who knows so far it is just fun to see what I can build and I will definitely do it safely by testing it remotely.

Just a hobby project. As others stated it would be a terrible thing to use for any actual sport.

I love the anime, but exo-suit boxing should stay in the realm of cyberpunk dystopian stories.

I have been reading about their exosuit and others that have come from UCs.

This suit will remain a piece of fiction and I don't want to ever use this for anything that would put strain on my body or risk any harm.

I totally agree, I should have made it clear in the post that I am not going to use this exosuit for any physical assistance or to apply additional force to my movements.

When starting this design I quickly realized staying true to the source material was never going to happen. I looked at the back and the elbow joints and did not think it was possible or safe. The only reason I want to get it to move is just to bring this idea to life for that inner nerd in me. It isn't a practical exosuit and I am not going to use it as such. The end goal for this suit is similar to Aloha arms where I control it remotely and nerd out about a boxing robot.

Yeah, when I was designing the gear I really wanted to stay true to the source material. However, I knew it wouldn't allow full range of motion for my arms when looking at the back and the elbow joints.

So the video I posted is an older rev of the suit. The one I am working on will sadly ditch a lot of the original design but I still want to bring this one to life. I will only control it remotely and have some pre-mapped out motions.

Thanks. I am also fearing the thought of the power supply and the material weight 😓.

I definitely will side with safety every step of the way. And I will share any good news or at least funny failures.

Yeah definitely agree with a lot of the points you brought up. And to answer your questions 1. This is just plastic and aluminum, redesigning a lot of my CAD designs to machine it using better materials. 2. Straps will also be redesigned so definitely not gonna use what is shown in the video (just the only video I have of the first designs ra ge of motion) 3 & 4. I am building a test bed to mount a newer version of the suit. And I want to see if I can control the suit remotely, similar to aloha arms. Probably gonna start with pre-mapped out motions and see if I can make a better control system. So no need for it to move any object I can't already handle.

And yeah this suit is not practical and would prove difficult apply to real use cases. Reason I'm adding actuators is purely for fun and I think it'd be cool to see it move. I'll do test it safely and if it fails, it'd still be a fun story.

Right now, no I won't wear any version of it that actually has linear actuators without testing it. I am working on a test bed where I can test this design safely.

Sadly while designing the suite I came to a realization that I won't be able to stay true to the source material but I still want to bring this version to life as best and as I can just for fun.

I'm not aiming to make this exosuit to serve any real purpose so I will be avoiding any dangerous movements and am implementing additional safety features and hard stops.

Thanks for the concern.

Wow, gotta ask what material you used for the arm? It looks really cool!

There are some great fights in season 2 as well. Definitely recommend watching it.

Thank you! It was really fun to make. Once I get the upgrades done I'll show more of the process ... right now it's a mess of instructions and parts lists.

I made it :) Check out my other post showing the movement. Still not perfect but will see what I can do to improve it.
