- Hey everyone.
I am here to share the solenoid that got me the best results after years of testing and also the handpieces made with them.
Check my other videos for questions or how-to.
The solenoids are:
Solenoid marked 29 19: www.conrad.com/en/p/intertec-...
Solenoid marked 02 23: www.conrad.com/en/p/intertec-...
The perfect solenoid: www.alibaba.com/product-detai...
The 6V solenoid: www.aliexpress.com/item/33027...
These are NOT affiliate links.
I would like to get access to the 12V solenoid from Geeplus 170-L that would be the middle point from the 1335 and 1942 shown above, if anyone knows any supplier for this solenoid please let me know. (www.geeplus.com/tubular-solen...)
You can check the code and build at github.com/Savage-Sabrina/DIY...

Glad to see you are still at it I'd still like to help with machined parts
Hi, Jason. How about an exchage of help? Do you need something that I can also provide? Where are you from? Im in EU.
@@selvalss I'm in the US. But shipping isn't that expensive. What machined parts would help you perfect the system
@@jasoncastle1741 I was mostly thinking about the part where the solenoid is attached to the 3d printed part or the part where I put the collet, since i'm eyeballing it it is not perfect, I tried to do it with steel but it is impossible with my tools. Are you interested in the circuit board?
@@selvalss Good afternoon. I am from Germany. Can I somehow purchase a kit? even in unfinished condition. I'm happy with this look, I just want to do my hobby without a pneumatic graver
where are you from?
@@MILEV_Jewelry_Creator please contact me on reddit Weird_Singularity so I can help you source the boards and install the code.
How much stroke/travel is needed for the solenoid to engrave well? I I would be curious to experiment with something else different than solenoids. Not sure if if it would work tho
It depends on the weight of the plunger and speed. So for an 6.4g plunger with a 12w power 6mm is enough for lots of materials. Right now the 1642 solenoid with 6 mm travel at 9w is an all round handpiece
Sir, how do you control solend energy? Just simple voltage control or maybe pulse by pulse current control? Do you have adjustable pulse frequency? What frequency range your are using?
Hi, I control it by the process of "bit banging" in a determinate frequency, its like I create the pulses with software that is installed in the board (or arduino if you prefer) and the pulses control the solenoid. The power is determined by the PSU (Power supply unit) I am using, it is determined by testing and trial and error, the idea is to have a solenoid that, given its characteristics, will give about 25W of power. The build can be checked on the github page in the description. It's possible to go from 0 to 40 hz for a bulky solenoid or from 0 to 80 hz for a small solenoid.
@@selvalss Thanks for your answer. Not sure about meaning of "bit banging" really :D Maybe you are saying that you are controlling pulse length while pulse frequency does have fixed value?
@@htchtc203 bit banging means turning on and off in defined intervals, theres no special curve being made. Right now the modes are: variable frequency with fixed power, fixed frequency and fixed power and fixed pulses in intervals. I am implementing in the future another mode that set a fixed frequency on a variable power.
@@selvalss Thanks for clarification.
How much for that set? Can you build me one, similar to pulse graverr.
Check the construction instructions on the link in the description, there you can find how to make it yourself.
Still interested in buying one of these from you.....You sure you dont want to sell me one?
Hi, Ian. Check😁 your reddit inbox.
@@selvalss Yeah, I just dont have the time. I also tried that Chinese one but didnt like it compared to the pulse graver which I tried earlier this year
@@ians9390 which chinese one? The one from aliexpress?
@@selvalss correct. the kataway or whatever it's called. R-01
