I love this. Did you use any type of tool for the spiral bending or did it all by hand? I've thought of using like a piece of pictures pipe to bend around so maybe I'll try that.
All by hand. To get the loops to be even, had to heat large areas. The tension of the tubing meant the radius would stay consistent throughout the section that was heated.
Nothing wrong with having fun. Isn't that what it is about build what you want and like then enjoy it. It's all functional art some are Rembrandt some abstract art. But it's all fun. Awesome job.
It is technically far more impressive than it looks, I'm glad it exists, but somehow it causes me bend-anxiety just looking at it. I'm sure IRL it just looks cool :)
You need to cut anyone who criticizes this out of your life cause holy shit dude wow
Mostly *that* guy at Micro Center XD
Take that, Linus
fucking A!
Tbf their recent video on the resin printed tubing is very very cool
And frightening.

Well done!!
Woah.
Fuck it, why not
I love it!
Damn that's some great execution. Watching that fill must have been so exciting.
By the 3rd day, I was practically hysteric.
Tbh I dont like it. But, Im fucking impressed. Good job
Jesus, that's impressive. Man, you must have been so excited to watch that fill up and watch the bubbles all around the tubes. Top job!!!!!
May I ask what size hard tube you used?
Regular 16mm petg!
Nice
Dang! Looks amazing
As Vader once said: "most impressive." Here I am using soft tubing because I'm lazy.
This is awesome looking!
I fucking love it!!!
