Hi, thank you! It’s a 1/8“ (3,175mm) bit. Yes the vacuum makes quite a difference in the workflow! 🙈 I’ve been used to working without it but never want to go back… We’ve built the machine our selfs so we could define its capabilities exactly to our wishes, like the vacuum table 🙈

@@FlowMobil Wow that is an impressively small drill bit - guess it wouldn't be perfectly suited going into higher output ratios of serial production runs, surpassing the prototype stage. But anyway still very interesting to see it working at all - at least I wouldn't have expected it to do that many running meters and seemingly reasonably fast, too ? Compared to using vacuum pods the vacuum bed does not work equally well with all materials in all situations - I guess ?: Since milling chips are building up more pressure in the milling groove and therefore lead to more tear-outs on the surface ? ...because of the chips being kind of trapped against the bottom. The same thing happens anyway of course for any groove that doesn't cut the complete material thickness. But especially materials like raw pine ply (unlike e.g. birch ply with a coating or let alone a covering, I imagine) could be affected by this? Do you have experience in comparison or were the CNCs you used before not working with vacuum at all ? p.s.: Impressive side note - you have built the machine yourself.

Thank you again! I’m happy you like it! Sure it’s fine if you share my video! I can’t imagine working with a point cloud without converting it into a mesh 😅

​@@FlowMobil ....not for your project. A project like mine for example ended up needing only two visible vertical parts with shapes that follow a curved contour of the inner car body. If you do not extract all the shapes of the in between design iterations on the level of accuracy the final parts need, it shouldn't be that much of a difference, more a question of comfort over discipline with the knowledge of workflows traps like this. For someone who only needs to scan one single interior - at least the accuracy of a scan done by a service provider can be very high, if it is accomplished using a tripod based stationary scanner, according to my own experience, even though it was a composite, too, but one that consisted of only three none moving standpoints. It didn't have any detectable shift or warpage over the complete interior, neither any visible in the scan, nor any mounting up in any other way, as proved by putting in the finished assembly. ...ideally you might find a provider who's software can supply a mesh or a way to convert the cloud, now in 2024 it should be doable. ...saving oneself the days learning how to master the scanner and its software. ... and at a price, which was at about one fifth of the purchase price of a shinning 3D Einstar handheld, even here in the Zurich neighbourhood sorry for the detour - hope it might be helpful to some viewers.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you!

Hi Andrew, thanks for sharing! I’m happy you like it! 😊

Hallo Willi, Danke für dein Feedback und dein treues Zuschauen und Kommentieren! Das freut mich 😊 Viele Grüße Flo

Hallo Willi, freue mich über dein reges Interesse! Das Bett kommt vermutlich zusammen mit einigen schönen Kleinigkeiten zum Schluss, schätze in 3 Wochen ca. Eine Vorschaue bzw. den Prototypen kannst du dir aber schon in meinem aller ersten Video anschauen ;) wird prinzipiell genauso nur mit zusätzlichen Features. Viele Grüße Flo

Hallo Willi, genau das ist eigentlich die Idee. Bei dem Modul für den Heckauszug sind die entsprechenden Löcher schon gebohrt. Ich tue mich noch ein bisschen schwer, weil die T Befestigungen nach oben recht viel Platz brauchen, für die Griffmutter und auch das Gewinde das dann noch nach oben raus steht. Das wäre vielem im Weg. Oder kennst du da eine Platzsparendere Alternative, die gut unter den Kühlschrank passt und im Fach daneben auf dem Boden nicht stören würde? Da bin ich noch auf der Suche nach der optimalen Lösung. Viele Grüße und danke für die Beiträge! Flo

Hallo Willi, danke für das Kompliment! Es passen ggf. auch Kühlboxen anderer Hersteller ganz gut 😉 Ich verwende überwiegend Kiefernsperrholz für die Konstruktion. Gruß Flo

@@FlowMobil Erstmal danke für die schnelle Antwort. Habe Mittlerweile alle 6 Videos der einzelnen Bauelemente angeschaut und bin begeistert. Habe noch ein paar abschliessende Fragen. Wird das Modul für die Kühlbox nur auf Gummimatten gestellt oder noch auf den Schienen verankert? Werden die Module im Bausatz verschickt und man fügt sie selbst zusammen? Werden die Module verschickt oder können diese auch bei dir abgeholt werden ? Viele Grüße Willi

Das freut mich! Das Modul mit Kühlschrank kann und sollte in der Schiene vom Multivan verankert werden. Ja die Module als Bausatz "flach" zu verschicken ist die eigentliche Idee. Das Zusammenbauen ist in meinen Augen recht einfach und erfordert nur einen Akkuschrauber, eine Schleifmaschine macht es einfacher aber es geht auch ohne. Ich möchte ein maximales Preis/Leistungsverhältnis bieten und mich von daher auf die Arbeiten konzentrieren die nicht genauso gut oder fast genauso gut die Kunden selbst übernehmen können. Trotzdem biete ich den Service die Module fertig zusammen zu bauen auch gerne an. Macht auch echt spaß, das Puzzle. ;) Zusammengebaut müssen die Module bisher bei mir abgeholt werden. Der Bausatz kann natürlich auch abgeholt werden. Auch ein gemeinsames Aufbauen in meiner Werkstatt kann ich mir vorstellen, wenn das jemand möchte. Ich stehe erst in den Startlöchern, deshalb sind die Prozesse noch nicht festgefahren. Bin da in allem noch sehr flexibel. Viele Grüße Flo

Thank you 😊 I wanted to do it like you suggested first, and I’ve done it like this at the lower cabinets in the front. But to mill the attachments for the strings, so these are not only throughholes, I need to mill the parts from the outside. To do the pockets I needed to mill these from the backside.. I really try to not do two sides machining. But if you have any idea to solve this, let me know! 😉

In my opinion wood is the clear winner. The whole kit I’m making is far less than 200kg heavy. So that’s not too much in my opinion. When you try to do it with aluminum profiles, it will get much less space efficient.

Aluminum is at a all time high $$$

Exactly 👍 Thank you 😊 And you can take the whole thing out in 20min. To have your normal daily van.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you 😊 I’ll try to do it for 3000€ but need to properly calculate once this one is finished.

If you have one for me to scan from the inside and want me to make a kit for it, we can make this happen ;)

Thank you 😊 Yes you’re right, the simpler it is in the end the more difficult it is to get there.

Hi, this is indeed something to think about. If it’s leaking it doesn’t make a difference if there’s metal or wood around it, as the fire won’t be ignited in the box but somewhere else. This is why it is so important to not only turn off the stove but also the bottle it self. This is checked and certified. Therefore I made this little block as a reminder.. without it I unfortunately know from own experience, how often you miss turning it off.

@@FlowMobil Ah, I see you have calculated everything. Thank you for the explanation :) I would like to see if you could fit a shower or a toilet in your van cause I've seen it on some other tiny house channels. Is it possible to do with your van size?

There is a place for a toilet in shape of a „Eurobox“ like the boxio. You can see this in my second last video. A shower unfortunately I didn’t manage to put in this conversation. The best method I’ve seen is putting it in to the hatchback put that requires permanent changes to the van. Also you’d need a pump and there for power. In my opinion it would make things to complicated for a non permanent conversion. But if you have a good idea for it, I’m all ears. 😊

@@FlowMobil I see, I'll try to watch your video later after work. Thank you for replying :)

Thank you! 😊

Thank you 🙏

Thank You! :)

It would a good idea to have a kit to work on your computer comfortably from the back seats!!!

@@mohammadajmalahmadi1764 Yes that's absolutely right! I have a nice and simple Idea for that already. Stay tuned for it ;)

Hi Jean-François, tank you for your interest and compliment! Of course anyone can also ask me for just a few of the modules. In my sense it just doesn't make very much sense, as they work together as a set. I want to offer maybe different kits, one for surfers or skiers where you can still store longer stuff as well. The kit I'm building right now I want to offer for 3000€ but I have to do the calculations once I'm done. But If anyone wants to set for it now, I am willing to guarantee this price for the kit for the first few customers. On long term it will depend how many I can sell of each kit if I have to make it more expensive or not. But I fear I'll never be able to offer it any cheaper than this. I'm happy to hear from you, you can send me a message via my website. Best regards Flo

I’d make it fit for your caravel just as well if you want me to. But I needed your van for one day to do the 3D scan if you don’t mind the trip to the Palatinate Forest.

Russian doll?

Hi Simon, thanks for your interest! I’m planning to sell this for lots of different van models. Which van model do you have and where are you from? Maybe I can build it for you.

Hi, am besten kannst du mich über das Kontaktformular auf meiner Website www.holzflo.com/flowmobil kontaktieren. Ich bin gespannt von dir zu hören. Grüße Flo

@@FlowMobil ich werde mich noch heute Abend melden auf der Homepage melden. Musste noch was mit meinem Netzwerk klären.

Hi flowmobil. I sent you a mail to the address that you provided, just making sure you received it. Would be good to get in contact.

Thank you! ✌️ Yes I can imagine the amount of work you put in your Van. It is crazy fitting it all by hand. I’m now wondering why I didn’t do it digitally in the beginning…

Thank you 😊

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to improve that.
