This is the beginning of a video series about multiple automation machines. It is called "the modular production system"
We start with modules that I build using 3d printing to count and package screws.
In each video we will go through the development.

@@Kawka1122 I'm not that sure. I know enough engineers that will spend sh*t load of money on toolings and materials and cannot achieve the end goal of a reliable and usable product, because most likely the corporate world had removed the creativity from their heads. Not to mention that universities are starting the creativity killing process, before you get hired. I see every single day people doing the same old tasks in the same inefficient manner and they do not bother changing anything for the better, not because there are no material resources, but because they lack creativity and will as resources.

You might want to add a shield to keep the chips from getting in your plastic gears. I would also consider a different solution to hold the box in place, something with springs and/or magnets to avoid the use of two external plastic parts and a drill

@Haagimus 11 ай бұрын

You can do something like spring retention clips that have like a little triangle bit on the end. So when you push it in it snaps into place and to take it out. All you do is push in the tab

@@Haagimus I think toggle clamps would work very well, they could just pivot down into the hand holes. They are often used in workholding in small production runs.

@joshmdmd 11 ай бұрын

Honestly even a sheet of paper or thin cardboard would do. I poke a hole through cardboard and put my nozzle through the hole whenever I blow chips to contain them. With the plastic being cut I doubt there is significant heat in the 'chips' so this type of guard would work.

I have noticed that a lot of these channels that I've been getting in my recommendations are often not even a year old with quite a lot of subscribers and views. Maybe I should start one of these just to document my builds as I love making stuff just as much as I love watching others doing the same. And a common factor between them seems to be very high quality videos from the start.

These are the skills of someone involved in machine building, toolmaking and jig / fixture making. Manufacturing, specifically in the German style with an Industry 4.0 / Lean Manufacturing understanding. If you watch how junior engineers are trained in Germany under people who make CNC machines for example, you can see why Chris has been given the mental tools he needs to let his innovative brain run free.

I like seeing your projects come to fruition, despite the fact that I have no possible use for such equipment and lack the required skills, know how and patience to work through a project build that you have documented. The fact that you are building cabinets from these generic plastic crates makes perfect sense as a design, and it's a cool business decision to use something so widely available and so repeatable. I wonder how many other useful products could be build around the simple plastic stacking crate.

If you move the clamping mechanisms to the inside of the box, you could have them permanently mounted rather than having them removed and re-attached at each mounting, and if you have a long threaded rod with opposite threads on each end, you could make it so you only have to put the driver onto one end to tighten both clamps. Taking this two steps further, you could automate the driver by having a stepper motor mounted on the plate that automatically tightens the rod at the start of the process and loosens at the end of the job.

I've been watching you for a while now and man I just really love the content. don't know but I find it both interesting as a learning process but also a little entertaining. One advice tho is to add a cover for those gears since in certain orientations, the bottom big gear is exposed to plastic debris which can jam the gear and ruin the 3d printed gears (though maybe 80% of debris will be sucked through the vacuum so maybe it's not as important)
