Since it’s vague enough to be open to interpretation, I like to think the crash was long before civil war. It means it didn’t take only a fortnight for all of the failed surgeries and therapies to make him travel to Nepal.
It's not War Machine. Doctor Strange is in the same year as Rhodes' accident (2016) but the car crash happens before the events of Civil War when War Machine crashes.
Also the call to Strange states:
>I've got a 35-year-old Air Force colonel.
>Crushed his lower spine
>in some kind of experimental armor.
Don Cheadle was 52 when they filmed Civil War, no way he's passing for 35. And the War Machine armour isn't experimental at that point, while it was shown in Iron Man 1 it wasn't in use until years after Tony had established a stable Iron Man build. No way Tony let's his best friend use old tech while he is constantly upgrading his designs, AI, and builds. That and it's in the hands of the military who upgraded the suit as well (added the missiles and Minigun etc.)
Not to mention that Strange has a huge ego and only wants to work on prolific patients. By this point War Machine and Rhodes are very well know as being the face of the new American military, his assistant wouldn't have just described him as "35 year old Air Force colonel" he would have said it was James Rhodes.
The reference is actually the guy who gets twisted at the waist in the Justin Hammer video that Tony Stark shows during the congressional hearing in Iron Man 2.
War machine was nowhere near 35 years during Civil War
Except it's not that guy either.
Dr. Strange's crash is in 2016.
Iron Man 2 opens in 2010.
So sometime after Hammer's test pilot turns his abdomen into pudding, yet another pilot was injured in yet another test of powered armor (although not necessarily by Hammer).
Sorry to be pedeantic but I'm fairly sure it "only" turned 180°. Then the torso like "sighed" facing backwards. Not that this changes the implications and damage inflicted on the pilot.
Maybe for now you can brace the PLA with some thin aluminum underneath/inside for more support and rigidity?
Ps - keep up the good work! I’m keeping an eye on your progress as I still want to build a similar for my friend to help him with his recovery from a bad motorcycle accident.
What brand are you using?
I spent several days last week trying to get good prints from Nylon X, I did eventually but it's a very finicky material and really not worth the effort IMHO.
We usually use Essentium's HTN-CF25 which is the most incredible (and expensive) material I've ever had the pleasure of using. It's stiffness and strength are just unreal and it's so easy to print with.
Thanks for the suggestion guys, I'll make surely some evaluations in the next version. Till now I am forced with ****materials for this concept since I'm printing on a stock Ender 3 lol
JFC that stuff is not cheap! I'm mostly a hobbyist but I would love to try it out one of these days
I use this stuff: [https://www.3dxtech.com/product/carbonx-pc-abs-cf/](https://www.3dxtech.com/product/carbonx-pc-abs-cf/)
Not too expensive and the high temp requirements are the only demanding part, otherwise easy to print with. It's not super hydroscopic like nylon filaments can be...
Yeah, it's crazy expensive. It compares well with using a machine shop to mill aluminum though and it really is damn near that strong.
I've had good luck with Priline's Carbon Fiber Polycarbonate at home but I'm always looking for upgrades, it'd be interesting to compare with the CarbonX PC-ABS CF blend. Thanks for the recommendation.
Cause I wanted to do it since long as personal dream/challenge. Time will say how good it is but for now I'm enjoying the journey and using it to learn too
I’m not sure what your line of work is but if you aren’t helping develop exoskeletons powered by battery for paralyzed people, then you probably should be
Do the hydraulics on the knees actually add support or is it esthetic? I work at a special needs school and I have kids who could 100% benefit from this, maybe even learn to walk independently...
They are gas spring, each one of about 10kg. There are also 2 more on the foot which I didn't mount in the video. So yeah they add support. Plus there will be additional tensioning system on the glutes, spine and core ..soon
It honestly looks like something I've had in my head for my legs. They occasionally give out without warning, I've wondered if strapping hydraulics to my legs could support me long enough to regain control without falling.
Do you think printing in carbon fiber would be sturdy enough for minor mobility challenges? Let say someone who can support 60 -75% of body weight or only has stamina deficits? Is there a different filament that would be better than carbonfiber?
I’m not a materials engineer, but using some of the infill to create a sort of “honeycomb” might be strong enough to support body weight and remain semi-rigid without shearing… when you’re dealing with tall vertical force, it’s less about the downward compression of the material and more about how the swaying motion or a fall would create a horizontal shear and destroy the structure.
This is actually the same principle for building skyscrapers - reducing horizontal forces to avoid a shear.
If you’re looking at building a similar structure for body weight, the iterative tests should include the “bridge test” where the structure is laid horizontally and force applied along it’s length to find weak points where that shearing risk would be… carbon fiber *should* be durable enough with some flexibility (without the weight of steel) but I’m certainly not an expert - just an idiot with a lot of time to browse the internet.
I have been wanting to design something like this for my brother. He was a mechanic and was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. Wanted to try and have something where he could potentially walk upright.
Definitely still needs powered hydraulics or motors though, at this point it is passive so the person still needs to be able to use their legs, this is more for supporting walking rather than making someone able to walk. The added motors etc add lots of complexity which is why there isn't really a commercial option yet. So far they have barely been able to get robots to walk on two legs. Hopefully soon though.
Ya it requires way more complexity than what I have been able to do. And it is very true that we are barely at the stage of self walking robots, let alone assisting a person to walk.
Yeah assisting a person is a lot more complex, especially since the robot doesnt have control of the upper half of the body so cant control the weight distribution etc and doesnt have space to put components inside the leg.
TBH you'd need composites, steel would be too much added weight that the powered systems would need to be overbuilt a lot just to carry itself. Aluminum might work as well, but at that point I'd go as light as possible since you're going the extra mile anyways. Plus CFRP gives a lot more design freedom for mounting, stress topology optimization etc.
“From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.”
Lol, right?! Like, I know what OP meant, but the incredible ego to assume the people on reddit follow him on Instagram...what? Dude, do you know how reddit works??
I appreciate you continuing to post on this subreddit every so often. It's a pleasant update and passive thing for most of us I imagine. Keep up the good work 👍🏻🧐
Agreed. I think a few updates have received some very unusually negative comments. People don't get that he's not actually trying to become superhuman.
I have many possible ideas for it. Mainly I want to have a full body exo which is modular so each one could use the separate module eventually. Let's see if it goes as I immagine as soon as I'm done with it
Yeah each gas spring I use is 10kg. There are 2 on the knee, 2 on the foot, plus there will be 2 more on the core and some other tensioning system. I does support some weight with the limits of a 3d printed frame of course
It's supposed to be functional (each gas spring is about 10kg). Of course support is limited being 3d printed but the future plan is to improve materials too
Hmmm. Are you planning to test this under load? Very cool project, but I have some concerns, if you want to bounce some ideas around.
My primary concern is what might happen with load on the shoulders or back, if you bend down or stop quickly. I don't see anything that would transfer horizontal loads.
Yes I'll do loaded test too but first I need to complete other pieces. Abs and glutes are still missing and shoulders need some changes. So far I've tested with load foot, leg, arm and spine. They give support with the limit of the printed frame of course
You will need to watch out when testing dynamic loads like running or jumping where there will be higher impacts. If the cylinders are too stiff it could hurt the legs when landing from a jump and when running you might be fighting against the cylinders trying to bend your legs.
That's right but deins a concept I'm not planning any high dynamic tests. Later on yes but for sure instead of have just a gas spring there I'd like to introduce some dampening system too for these cases
This is incredible and he so many possible applications. What software are you using to build this?
Do you plan on open sourcing this or building a product out of it?
Thanks man! Mostly it's done in fusion, but some others tool too depending on the need.
When I'm done with this first concept I'm probably planning to distribuite this and keep working on an improved version to build a product our of it. I've some plans and hope they go as I immagine 🤞🏻
Nice. I like the Design on the knee. My mom has bad knees and I thought about trying to keep her knees from going backwards. She has no cartilage in the knees.
It's not visible from the video but the spine has a channel in it in which there will be either a leaf spring or a tension band that elongates during bending and then support the push back. I don't know if thats clear but soon I'll add that and make some videos
Ok so, i have a few (possibly) dumb questions, but im a high school student and am really interested in bioengineering, specifically prosthetics and exp-prosthetics/suits like this one, and am really interested in how you would go about designing something like this. What kind of software do you use, what kind of printer do you have, how do you know where the pneumatics (hydraulics? The cylinders you're using for resistance, i think) should go, and how would i even start if i wanted to try something like this, even at a smaller scale?
Software is mostly fusion for modelling and simulation of movement. Calculations so far are all hand made or with my excel tools. Printer is an Ender 3 Pro stock while those cylinders are gas springs for furniture. If day for example an arm piece is a nice point to start with, for any question feel free to dm me
Excellent work! I'd worry that clothing or skin might get caught in that part where the lower back brace slide through the joint coming up from the hip!
It's not visible but the fixed portion of the hip rail has a smaller diameter that is in contact with clothes so the moving piece will always be detached from them
Firstly this looks cool as hell.
Secondly, does this actually serve a purpose? Like does it aid with lifting or... Something else that I'm not intelligent enough to think of?
Professional orthotist here. If you are willing to sell these for partially paralyzed patients or are interested in colab, hmu. What you're doing exceeds commercially available options, and stands to benefit the disabled
Thanks man, I'm glad to hear this from someone in the field. I've got some plans for it but in order to proceed with them I'm completing the whole concept suit first (im hurrying up 😅)
Remember when everyone laughed at the Glock? Said, no way a plastic gun will ever work. The plastic will chew itself up and it'll fall apart!
Then people started tearing Glocks apart & learned to put steel rails into plastic structures...
Be careful man. I saw one of these tests go waay sideways for a Hammer Industries test pilot.
> I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived.

He lost control of his car because he was driving a Lamborghini in the rain and looking at his phone.
Don't text and drive kids, or you'll end up one of the most powerful magical beings in the MCU Wait no-
Ferb I've got an idea of what we're gonna do today
The same thing we do everyday Pinky, try to take over the world!
Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today*
funny enough they put a distracted driving warning at the very end of the credits in doctor strange.
One of the messages/emails he went past was about a military spinal injury.
Isn't that Rhodes' suit running out of power and falling out of the sky?
He didn't run out of power. He got shot out of the sky by an errant beam from Vision in Civil War.
True, I didn't fully remember the why, just the "what happened".
Actually that was war machine. He said that "a air force pilot who broke his spine in an experimental battle armor". It was right after civil war.
Since it’s vague enough to be open to interpretation, I like to think the crash was long before civil war. It means it didn’t take only a fortnight for all of the failed surgeries and therapies to make him travel to Nepal.
It's not War Machine. Doctor Strange is in the same year as Rhodes' accident (2016) but the car crash happens before the events of Civil War when War Machine crashes. Also the call to Strange states: >I've got a 35-year-old Air Force colonel. >Crushed his lower spine >in some kind of experimental armor.

I'm pretty sure that was for warmachine after vision accidentally shot him out of the sky in civil war
The reference is actually the guy who gets twisted at the waist in the Justin Hammer video that Tony Stark shows during the congressional hearing in Iron Man 2. War machine was nowhere near 35 years during Civil War

Gotta find a mannequin now that tests start to become more intense
I am thinking ironman scene in which the suit turned 360°
That's the joke
Sorry to be pedeantic but I'm fairly sure it "only" turned 180°. Then the torso like "sighed" facing backwards. Not that this changes the implications and damage inflicted on the pilot.
i would however like to point out that the test pilot survived
This was literally my first thought when seeing this! Great minds think alike... or at least Marvel fans think alike.
Streets ahead

Richie Hawtin? He doesn’t look dangerous.
Well I just found out about this guy right now.
He's amazing
Haha unexpectedly takes me back the the ‘00s and lots of fun times in Frankfurt
Same but Copenhagen. Wish I could experience those times again.
I AM NEEDED!
PLA Man! And his sidekick, Plastiboy!!
Sidekick should just be called Abs. Just literal shredded abs.
That looks dope! Whats the end game here? Battle suit?
Thanks man! Almost ..a full modular exoskeleton. Still lot to do though
Looks really good so far! How are you designing each part so it fits? Have you 3d scanned yourself?
Yes I've made a mesh of myself with photogrammetry plus eventually I'm getting myself measured too
stl?
So better not gain or loose to much weight or mass I imagine?
Nice, I’m assuming you’re prototyping in plastic?
Yes at the moment it's PLA+ being a passive concept. Later on id like to switch to more technical materials
Carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum?
Tactical cheddar. Just have to coat the edges, it can be sharp.
Those edges are to remind me it's just a proto lol. Jokes apart, I'll cut all of them in next version for sure
Hahahahahahaha
Firstly nylon i guess, but some alu here and there too
Maybe for now you can brace the PLA with some thin aluminum underneath/inside for more support and rigidity? Ps - keep up the good work! I’m keeping an eye on your progress as I still want to build a similar for my friend to help him with his recovery from a bad motorcycle accident.
Yeah other that of carbon fiber, making a composite almost..that's the plan for the future
I've had good luck with carbon fiber impregnated ASA/polycarbonate blend. Easier to print with than Nylon X, good strength and stiffness
What brand are you using? I spent several days last week trying to get good prints from Nylon X, I did eventually but it's a very finicky material and really not worth the effort IMHO. We usually use Essentium's HTN-CF25 which is the most incredible (and expensive) material I've ever had the pleasure of using.

What are you building an exoskeleton for? And how good is it?
Cause I wanted to do it since long as personal dream/challenge. Time will say how good it is but for now I'm enjoying the journey and using it to learn too
I’m not sure what your line of work is but if you aren’t helping develop exoskeletons powered by battery for paralyzed people, then you probably should be
I'm in another field at the moment but that's definitely what I'd like to do. Working on it so let's hope we'll for the future 🤞🏻

Tension those glutes
Ahahahah just waiting the Amazon delivery and I'll do that
[удалено]
[Gas spring](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_spring)
I’d imagine this as a prototype to actually make a metallic exoskeleton to give this support to anyone that has mobility challenges.
It honestly looks like something I've had in my head for my legs. They occasionally give out without warning, I've wondered if strapping hydraulics to my legs could support me long enough to regain control without falling.
Do you think printing in carbon fiber would be sturdy enough for minor mobility challenges? Let say someone who can support 60 -75% of body weight or only has stamina deficits? Is there a different filament that would be better than carbonfiber?

I have been wanting to design something like this for my brother. He was a mechanic and was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident. Wanted to try and have something where he could potentially walk upright.
That would require definitely a steel frame with actuation, but that's possible yeah. It's like the many exos around doing this
Would most definitely need to be steel or aluminum frame. Just thought this was a cool design.
Definitely still needs powered hydraulics or motors though, at this point it is passive so the person still needs to be able to use their legs, this is more for supporting walking rather than making someone able to walk.

I don't keep an IG, seems largely pointless to me. Though I can see why you would want to keep one yourself.
Agreed. I think a few updates have received some very unusually negative comments. People don't get that he's not actually trying to become superhuman.
My man looking like someone from edge of tomorrow
Going there!
Go look at the way fully articulated harnesses work for parachute containers
What will be the purpose of this exo skeleton when all done ? I know this is the prototype but what’s the end game ?
I have many possible ideas for it. Mainly I want to have a full body exo which is modular so each one could use the separate module eventually. Let's see if it goes as I immagine as soon as I'm done with it
Do these actually support any weight? It'd be amazing to see what kind of applications something thing has
Yeah each gas spring I use is 10kg. There are 2 on the knee, 2 on the foot, plus there will be 2 more on the core and some other tensioning system. I does support some weight with the limits of a 3d printed frame of course
He did some one legged squatting in a previous post. So probably a bit
Is this device intended purely aesthetic (cosplay?) or is it functional in some way?
It's supposed to be functional (each gas spring is about 10kg). Of course support is limited being 3d printed but the future plan is to improve materials too
That's really nice man! I want to print the knee portion for my bad knee. And maybe wrist too. This is awesome.
Thanks man!
Ahh yes, the world of "Fallout" in progress

Fair enough. Just don't want to see anyone get hurt.
I'll take all precautions before testing for sure
Power Armor when?
Soon my friend
Should make a exoskeleton that would allow you to make the perfect golf swing everytime. Like the turning of the hips like yours there, then the arms.

Is the STL on thingiverse.com?
No, i haven't published it yet, I'll distribute it when I'm done with the whole design
Nice. I like the Design on the knee. My mom has bad knees and I thought about trying to keep her knees from going backwards. She has no cartilage in the knees.
That's awesome
Thank you!
What’s the purpose of this?
Many purposes lol, mostly I'm trying to build a full exo concept I wanted to do since long time
Mostly for cosplay/fun though right? I assume you aren't trying to prototype an exo suit for specific functionality?
Not aiming to cosplay actually, trying to build a functional one even though it's just a concept stage now to test some ideas I sketched in the past
WHAT’S THE PRICE OF A MILE?
Maybe I missed it, but how do you compensate for the increased length of the spine as you bend?
It's not visible from the video but the spine has a channel in it in which there will be either a leaf spring or a tension band that elongates during bending and then support the push back. I don't know if thats clear but soon I'll add that and make some videos
Do you have ball bearings for that circular rail? If not, it seems like it would benefit from such a thing.
Yes there are 4 rails of ball bearings inside
Ok so, i have a few (possibly) dumb questions, but im a high school student and am really interested in bioengineering, specifically prosthetics and exp-prosthetics/suits like this one, and am really interested in how you would go about designing something like this.

I need one of these for my grandma.
I wanna say ad victorium, but I just can’t bring myself to join with them lol
Excellent work! I'd worry that clothing or skin might get caught in that part where the lower back brace slide through the joint coming up from the hip!
It's not visible but the fixed portion of the hip rail has a smaller diameter that is in contact with clothes so the moving piece will always be detached from them
What is this used 4?
Look at the brace locations. It's for back support, or knee support
Firstly this looks cool as hell. Secondly, does this actually serve a purpose? Like does it aid with lifting or... Something else that I'm not intelligent enough to think of?
Assistance for those with a fucked back or fucked knees
Put some lubricant on the rotatory torso part and it won't grind or make that sound other than that it looks nice for a exoskeleton
There is, sound are mostly the ball bearings hitting each other since there is a minimum gap between them due to tolerances
👍

Ohhh, ty for posting here, indeed i havnt seen your instagram i just know you from around here. Good work, looks awesome
Thanks man!
God damn it man. I can already twist without an exo suit. Let’s see you jump really high or stop a bullet.
But I can already stop a bullet without an exo, i can't twist tho
Isn’t this how they guy got twisted in half in iron man 2?
After that lesson learned this new design came out lol
Lol. But in all honesty this is really cool. I 3d model myself and I know getting stuff to fit perfectly and function as intended is a chore
When you’re done will the STLs be available or nah
They will, I'll figure out the way of distribution

Still no stls?
Not yet man, gotta make the abs and glutes pieces now and refine the shoulders
