@@keeper8730 I don’t really have blue prints, but I think I can send the Fusion360 file

Thats the hardest part for me. I actually designed a gear that allows me to make adjustments for each roller.

That’s fancy. Someone must’ve been really smart to come up with that

@@IAN4465 freakin’ genius! 😉

I have a drop roller and if they do not line up you can move the gear around a notch at a time until it matches.

I use Fusion 360. It has both design and machining functions to make the g-code.

Would you have any idea how much CNC milling would cost if I quote for this type of roller x2 to a Machining factory?

@@daygamecandy2309 Sorry about many questions but I'm really really curious and you are the only one who dose this in KZfaq!!! Does fitting bar into the pipe roller require a pressing machine or is there a way one can do without such a big machine?

@@jeffkim6005 I tried once and it was in the $1000's of dollars. Thats why I learned to do it myself.

@@jeffkim6005 I use a keyway and a pin. I think the originals used a tight fit and a press. Probably heated up the brass roller and let it cool around the steel axel shaft. I'm just guessing though, its pretty impressive what they could do back then.

If you can design it, you can outsource. That’s how I 3D print.

Yes. I joined a Makerspace here where you can learn and rent time on their machines.

@@Jana-oj7zq I tried 3D printing , but they weren’t strong enough, didn’t have the cooling property, and weren’t very smooth. Not that it couldn’t be done, I just had a hard time with it.

@@daygamecandy2309 To be clear, I don’t 3D print items that will interface with very hot or very cold items. I’ve done food-safe materials for room-temp soft molds.

@@daygamecandy2309 is there anyway you can share the plans and where you went? I wanna make a drop candy roller
