Starting a new build today

28 Jul 2017

So after playing with the Infineon DC Motor shield I thought well its time to get into more things motors for fun.   But I didn't want to do anything normal so today I am starting making a automatic wire stripper.   I have seen some designs out there for this but found it wasn't what I was looking for.  I wanted something for recycling copper wire and that could be unattended and only need attention when inserting new wires into the machine.   So 3d printer time,  design time and hopefully get something working here shortly will be using 3/4 inch conduit for the frame design as I have lots of it and I made some cool blocks for prototyping on thingiverse for such occasions.

 

After getting this completed I will get back to my Mostly Printed Sander build having a few issues with that but have a feeling I will get that sorted out sooner then later just a back burner project which would be cool to have.  I love building tools and things that would cost a arm and a leg on a consumer side even if its not pretty but functional I am happy.   I remember my first usb powered parts tumbler from a old printer that was fun but not something that gets used a lot so making it vs buying is great.

 

Hope everyone is having a great day and everyone is playing safe.

 

Also just wanna say thanks to element14 for the recent roadtest review opportunity was a lot of fun and will definitely grow from my experience with it in future ones.

    Yup I will for sure have a video I am recording of the whole build process (a short 5-10min video) as well to go with it and will post all files for it as well.

    Since I have so much of it laying around I wanted to do something with it I pondered even a manual one but that was even almost 300 dollars to buy.

    and electric automatic ones over 1200 dollars to me thats a bit much so I wanted to see if I could make one my own design on it with more features for roughly about 20-30 dollars

    Here is a link with some of the examples as you can see the prices are quite high so in this day and age if I can make it... I am going to lol  might not be as pretty but I can always do redesigns and find the best functionality for my machine.  I think that having a few extra features would definitely make it more worth while in the end and then ability to have other makers print one up in a day would also be great.

    Interesting project. There is a large business on copper recycling from trashed wires I see.
