I've been wondering if I could turn my haircut robot into a pumpkin carving robot. Cutting hair and carving pumpkins isn't really that different if you think about it - both cut stuff off a roughly pumpkin sized spheroid. In this video I do just that and carve some pretty amazing pumpkins with it. This was a bit of a sprint to get done - I can't wait until next year to make even more insane pumpkins with it!

What would you like to see me carve into a pumpkin? Alternatively what else could I try to carve besides a pumpkin?
rick astley
Ice?
Have it carve another pumpkin carving machine. Then stand back.
The prog that you used to get the surface of the pumkin and the way the image warped could be used to make a fully automatic tattoo robot...
Mabe glass
This dude is one of the most chill guys on ITmores... he's also a genius, so that helps.
@traugdor ?
"he's also a genius, so that helps." Depends on the topic.
@qwasdninja you never let the magical blue smoke out - you can never put it back. Seriously, though, this man is an inspiration to smart people everywhere, to make more dumb things. I love it.
ikr #bestguy
I kinda like that even really clever people also release the mysterious blue smoke every now and then.
When repairing a machine but keeping almost none of the parts, this process actually saves time as you just transfer the machine spirit instead of making a new machine spirit to inhabit the next version.
As the Omnissiah wills
Exactly. You just keep pulling the Ship of Theseus, and you can recycle the machine spirit forever.
The Enginseer approves.
I like how no one talks about how he just casually said "yeah i accidentally fried everything even my laptop, but its okay"
@Platinum Cinnamon wow
@Timmy Yeah, overcurrent protection for a fuze in a mac is the cpu
@Apus apus Wasn't it Rosman that said "In a Mac, a fuse doesn't function as a fuse."
@Timmy Ive shorted both audio and usb on my lenovos, worked after a restart, but, knowing Rosman, a macbook might not
It was a MAC, so it was okey... I've put reversed 12V on the USB of my cheap Acer laptop in the past, after 10 minutes everything worked again (even the USB port).
This is just so incredibly impressive. In a group of friends saying "haha someone should make a robot that does that", your the one guy that actually creates it! :) Amazing stuff man, loving these videos.
If this is up your alley, then may I recommend you check out the following: The Hacksmith, Michel Reeves, William Osman, Simone Giertz, Colin Furze, and Smarter Every Day (Destin). Also for more chemistry leaning stuff: Backyard Scientist and Nile Red. (Just to name a few) A lot of channels also have good related channels linked in their "Channels" tab. :)
As a software engineer id love to see a walk through of the code.
I don't think you would... OK, you would, but I really don't like the direction and problems he made for himself. The mercator projection is no where near as complicated as he makes out (the wiki article must have delved way deeper than what's required here). On the (unwrapped) cylinder X is proportional to longitude, Y is proportional to tan(latitude) There was no need to map the image to a sphere, then to the pumpkin, 1 mapping is sufficient. In fact, the sphere intermediate stage is detrimental. Since pumpkins carved with a photo image have a preferred view point it would be better to project a flat plane onto the surface.
Yep. I would settle for a Github link.
@Thawne people that are learning coding? People that watch this guy to learn. People that want to deepen their knowledge in code. Sthu
Same here
@Thawne Why do you play basketball? Cause i want to. Why do you read books? Cause i want to. Why do you want to learn about mathematics? Cause i want to. Why do you breath ? Why do you walk? Why do you play games? Bruh, stop pls.
"i love dumb stuff" me too buddy, me too
And that's why i love my self.
One of the reasons I have the mirror
@Senuka Abeysinghe me too
The only dumb thing I don't love is myself.
That's why we're here!
The “TSA.exe” bit made me laugh more than I care to admit. As always, great video, man!
I love how "a small modification" ALWAYS means complete redesign
"you might be wondering why i would replace my baby with someone else's baby. well, their baby's better." i am now exponentially more afraid of StuffMadeHere than I used to be
Its crazy that people are this smart. My brains melting listening
@99codemister wow u use so much big words you must be so smart
@99codemister just out of curiosity, can you give some examples of people whom you consider smart? Is there anyone on youtube?
@Ryan W You were the first one to correct the spelling? Not that spelling and intelligence are related at all. I'll dust off your sparkles and move on with my life? Ok?
@99codemister Dude, you have used the wrong spelling of "compliment" in 3 different comments even after you were corrected. I wouldn't brag about your intelligence.
@99codemister the dude is smart and you are r/iamverysmart
Hi can we agree yet that this is one of the most brilliant engineers on ITmores? Seriously, this guy is a genuine genius. Edit: some of the people in the comments to this don't know what "one of the" means, and it shows.
Has no one mentioned Colin furze!
William osman…
I love this site .Amazing abilities and intellect. Fascinating how he thinks of these things. I am 74 and used the dealing with brilliant surgeons and I am still very impressed.
Except the oblate spheroid comment everything else super smart
@Cake "(edited)"
Wife: " It does look sadder now, the more I'm looking at it" Shane: " well, the funny thing is that these are all derived from your face" Hahahhahahha
You are an absolute genius, the best part is you show your failures. Most smart people only show the final outcome. Great things don’t come without failure. You're a true engineer. Your Engineering, Designing, coding, machining, fabricating, welding, woodworking, etc. and we can't miss the electrical engineering part. You're rocking it. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
If this guy was my professor in undergrad I would have loved every engineering class I took. Huge props man, content is fooking awesome.
It blows me away how much effort this guy puts in to the most random stuff.
Imagine if he had a problem that actually needed a solution lol
Your in house workshop has better tools than my university's engineering department...
@Benjamin Carter I'm guessing you're not european? Because we laugh at the disaster that is american education and healthcare.
Yes XD
@Qz Xyst Thats some nostalgia right there
@Karaoke Entertaintment Probably to teachers, or the principals just keep it for themselves and ignores the teachers begging to get payed and they say that they're starving and the principals just ignores them and doesn't let them quit and threatening them and doesn't let them have electronics and confiscated them and they haven't returned to their home and they don't know that they've been missing for a while lives in the basement of the school where they're locked in prison and constantly monitored by the principal and turns to be the "God" of the mafia all around the globe and watches the teachers even when going to bathroom to see what they're doing and knows their secrets and gets "The treatment" or "The reward" but just being same thing with just having different names depending on the situation and...
@Benjamin Carter Can you please put commas? I can't understand it, sorry (just asking, not trying to make a fight or something), if you don't want to, it's fine.
Watching this as a software engineer: okay, some nice CNC, some math, some arduino coding, interesting idea to carve pumpkins based on pumpkin's wall opacity. 7:45 holy crap! What's this? It is look like animation but it is real drawing with your hand
Watching you, obviously some sort of engineering wonderchild, wiring plus to minus makes me feel so much better for when I blew up a buck converter when installing quiet fans on my 3D printer. Thanks for that ego boost! Also, love your videos.
I’m impressed by his programming and engeneering skills
Every video I watch of yours, I am constantly impressed by your seeming unlimited knowledge of everything from the math and theories, to design, to hardware/software, to how to operate literally any machine. Not to mention everything else that goes into editing these vids..
He's that engineer everyone wanted to be
This guy is legit the smartest man I’ve ever seen on ITmores, and he accidentally plugged positive to the negative and fried everything lol
Mark robber
Um, diode
Agree
I feel as if there is a life lesson here 🤣
Mark robers pretty cool to
"And it was that at this moment I realized why reverse polarity protection diodes exist"
But then you lose a whole 0.7 volts!
I love this kind of stuff! Great job!
This channel brings joy to my life! Thanks Shane!
Love to see the very famous welding process called: "no gas tig welding". 1:55 Love your work, keep it going!!
Carving a pumpkin: 1 hour Automating pumpkin carving: 100 hours Programmers: Worth it
Think of the time he will save next year carving pumpkins
This mr reeves?
@Joseph. yeah but are you really carving 10 pumpkin's for a pumpkin carving contest? What I'm saying is economies of scale doesn't apply to pumpkin carving unless you're making a sweet youtube video about a dumb robot that carves pumpkin's lol
@blabury true but that is why you make a ITmores video and recoup your costs and time. You could bring it to a Halloween fair
@Joseph. i think no one forgot about it, its just that for most students and prototypists its a meme cause, who actually needs 100 pumpkin carving robots on a factory floor, same for other dumb automation projects
I have so much respect for the incredible amount of hardware and software work that went into this
I don't know how I'm just now finding your channel but I've been binge watching your videos. You're incredibly creative and I find your persistence inspiring
Your videos are pretty cool !!! You explain a bit of everything you do, it's a pretty nice thing for the watchers as they can learn something.. at least to have an idea about it... ;)
This was great! @stuffmadehere why not use some linear rails and get away from the V slot wheels. MGN12H would be far better for that assembly. HIWINN makes the best
I find it hilarious that he just says: “Hey wife”
@Carl Well, you don't have to watch, you are free to leave the planet...just sayin'.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Of all the youtubers with incredible talent and knowledge in their fields, I envy you the most.
Easily one of my favorite channels, I get totally lost in your videos. I'm a Ph.D. student in M.E., totally envious of your abilities. Keep on making stuff!
Although I think the stuff you do and make and you yourself is all very cool, but your wife is the real star of the show! You two make a great couple. :)
I'm an engineer. Watching your videos makes me feel like an elementary student. Amazing job and amazing videos. Maybe make a video about yourself. We sure want to know about your background and how can you be this good at engineering. Keep up the good work. cheers.
“Like many STEM topics, reading Wikipedia is a great way to feel inadequate.” It’s not just me! I feel so seen.
@Макс Ф.I’ll try it on Russian wiki next time. Thx for the advice!
@Макс Ф. Same for my language. Also more complete
If I had to guess the hack, I would assume he just used sine and cosine to get the vectors and then multiplied them by the radius + the heightmap
@John-Jozef Proczka Ohhh! You just not seen russian segment of Wiki. I always use english versions because it's more understandable to me!
The Wikipedia comment resounded quite strongly with me. Looking up any mathematical concept that I understand on Wikipedia always feels this way. It's always in the most basic (and therefore complicated) forms where nothing is taken for granted.
For an extra challenge, how about a unit that carves rock statues? Awesome stuff.
That's crazy, no limits on the ideas 😂 like having new tools
You guys are hilarious. You're wife might be the best part of these videos. (no offense haha) Seriously though, you've been killing it. I'd love some easier to make, quick little vids. Great AD integration. Literally no one seems to care enough to try things like this. Hey Audible, take my money!!
Thank you for that awesomely accessible explanation of the Mercator projection, as well as the acknowledgement that wikipedia can make one feel inadequate 😁
I feel like a market for precarved pumpkins might be possible
This guy keeps my engineering life alive..
Amazing!! Great job
Maybe you could make a 3D mesh model from the measurements you take with the probe. If so, use some texture mapping method to “texture” the pumpkin with your picture. Could be conformal maps or other.
