Episode 416 - DIY #3DPrinted Label Spooler

My wife works at home as a shipping manager and has to print several hundred shipping labels each day. The label printer she has just spills them out onto the floor and then she has to roll them up by hand. I decided to jump in and overengineer a solution so she can get that 30-40 minutes back every day. Come have a look at my approach and see if you would do it the same way!.

    kalebclark I always keep a few dozen of each size maybe more. also same goes for switches that have screws you should always use an islet on them. Oh by the way for wire to wire connections they have a shrink tube with low temp solder at each end, I never leave home without them. .

    Thanks, Cris!

     

    I had to scrub through the video to see what you were talking about, It's been a bit since I looked at this project. To answer your question, it's probably because I didn't have any of the crimp connectors in stock.

    I dont, but I did replace the motor and this device is used every day in production. I must have just got a bad motor.

    Nice build, but you really should have looked at the torque requirements before sizing the motor.
