This is a quick animation on the assembly and usage, as well as the internal mechanics of the tally counter v5.0.

The counter is currently not for sale, but you can find all the 3D-files in the link below, if you or someone you know owns a 3D-printer:

Both the model and animation are designed by Fredrik Hamrebjörk.

Hi! I just wanted to say that this thing is incredible! Im still building it and I encountered alot of problems, im fixing them one by one until it's done. Nice build!

@@fredrikhamrebjork8930 I finally finsihed it! I only have 2 problems but I don't really want to fix them: 1: the support for the spring of the the minus button always break 2: The screw keeps breaking in half

@@The_BrickYTThose are actually some pretty common problems. The support breaking is actually pretty strange. I believe it could be that you use a too long/strong spring which puts too much pressure on the tab, but I haven't encountered it myself so I don't know if that's the case. The springs should be just long enough to not rattle around, and not in too much tension. The screw breaking is due to tolerances making it fuse to the back cover on some printers. I belive someone did a remix to solve this issue on printables, so I'd looke there :) /Fredrik

this looks crazy good! im going to make a modified version for stitch counting for crocheting :)

Finally got mine built! Took a lot of effort, and a few reprints, but at the end of the day it works incredibly. I'm using it to count a modifier in Pokemon TCG.

Woaw!!!! Amazing animation and model!!!

@sealdoggy8785 7 ай бұрын

might be possible to simplify the design by instead adding a one way channel and follower for the + and - buttons, hitting the gear. would not need small parts or the rubber band anymore! itd be like like more recent designs for push-push actuated spring doors etc. this is a wonderful design!

did you end up making it for them? how did it turn out?

@mynt4033 Жыл бұрын

This is a really cool animation. How long did it take you to make it in blender? Or rather how many hours of learning blender did it take you before you could know what to do to make something like this?

@fredrikhamrebjork8930 Жыл бұрын

That's a good question, but at the same time impossible to answer. For me, it took about 4 days to put this together, but I have prior experience in similar fields/softwares.

hey fredrik! what should i do if the plus and minus clickers dont have enough force to spin the dial? do i use a shorter rubber band to increase tension? or a shorter spring in the middle?

@fredrikhamrebjork8930 10 ай бұрын

Probably a bit late to this one, but it might help someone else in the future... A too long middle spring is likely the cluprit as that will make the pin press too hard on the gear preventing it from moving and allowing the button arms to slip on the gear instead of moving it. In other words, shorten the middle spring to decrease the tension on the pin. A shorter rubber band won't help. If it's too short the arms won't deflect when you release the button, resulting in the arms spinning the gear backwards on it's way back :P

Hello. I have printed your tally counter 5.0 a few times now and I love it. My wife uses it for counting bunnies in our neighborhood during our evening walks. My problem is out of 3 prints, one worked, the center peg that goes in the spring hole keeps getting pushed off the build plate and I can't assemble them without it...and I'd rather not keep trying the same thing expecting different results ya know. I have slowed down the rate as slow as possible but it doesn't seem to matter. Is there a way to print just that part?

@fredrikhamrebjork8930 26 күн бұрын

Hi, I'm not sure which component you mean, do you have a file name for it? Do you mean the small pin that engages with the ratchet gear (around 0:17 in the video)? /Fredrik

@9458biglb 25 күн бұрын

@@fredrikhamrebjork8930 Yes. The part that goes inside the center spring hole after the spring itself and rides on the gear. It’s kinda shaped like a long diamond. I got the file right off the Bambu Labs Bambu Handy app.

is there a way to build a quick reset mechanic into this?

@fredrikhamrebjork8930 Ай бұрын

It's a work in progress... No easy way to easily implement this in the current mechanism. I am however working on a 3-digit version that will need a reset button.
