    Hi Robert, I admire your cheerful attitude considering your recent loss. I’m just over 16 months into that journey and really wish I could follow your example. I also think I know you have really sad moments and thoughts, but to watch you with a smile, again something I have yet to get to grips with, is an inspiration. Keep smiling and making great video’s for as long as you can. Take care, Stefan.

      Hi Robert, I agree with the pain. I try to keep busy most of the time, but mostly I think what is the point. It’s a sad club we belong to. The only way to feel empathy truly is to experience it. My family haven’t got a clue how badly I feel most of the time. The only good, if you can call it good, is my sweetheart hasn’t got to feel the pain we do being left without them. I hope you heal quicker than me , but I’m not sure if you will. Every day is Groundhog Day. I’m still glad you’re making the videos that I’ve always watched. All the best Stefan.

    Hey Rob, easy suggestion for the drive motor. Make the drive gear with a hex bit to attach an electric drill. It might not be as elegant, but everyone has a drill and it's usually charged.

    Hi Robert,
    If you make the tape holder axis adjustable (tilt along the circumference) then you can set it to the width of the tape you are using so that it spools the tape onto the shaft flat. It would also make it self advancing for the most part. Cool build!
    Thank you for the great videos and all the best from California! 🧡

    It's a marvelous mad mechanism.
    It's cool to have a tool that does one job perfectly. I could see using that to tie up wires and hoses.
    The same principle can be used to wrap toroidal coils. Put a blade on the inside it could strip cables or cut pipes. In a way it could even work as the exact opposite of a lathe.

  • @scottmiller2591
    @scottmiller2591 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Something like this would work for wrapping toroidal inductors. Toroidal winders usually use a metal split ring which is pulled apart and linked with the toroidal core (like linking rings), then loaded with wire in an external groove on the outside of the ring. Once loaded, the end of the wire is taped down and a mechanism drives the ring toroidally (unwinding the wire off the ring and onto the core) while advancing the core at a rate of 1 wire thickness per turn. Once you get a layer down, the remaining wire is taped down and cut off, and the split ring unlinked. You probably couldn't replace the metal split ring, but the rest of the mechanism should be fine. Nice for high frequency power supply builds.

    That's a really interesting tool, and I appreciate that, I actually had no idea TinkerCAD was so simple for gear building. I've seen you do it before but it just never connected in my mind I suppose. I was dreading an upcoming design but I think you may have reduced my headache significantly, what a lovely gift for a Saturday afternoon!

    I can think of a lot of uses with some caveats of course for this device. Thinking a linear drive to move it in a smooth linear motion and you have a nice large gauge wire wrapper. Probably need to bulk it up a bit though, but very doable. Hmm....liking this quite a bit Robert. Thanks for the video! Keep them coming!

    Back in the 1970's I worked at the phone company and we used a tool which probably was of a similar design on the inside. It was for wrapping a wire around a strand of wire and the 100 pair telephone cable between 2 telephone poles. It was actually pretty cool to work with.

    I like the idea of a garage factory. First develop molding techniques with 3d printed molds. For concrete, rubber, candy, polyester aluminium or clay. Stamping sheet metal.. Rolling sheet metal,
    And then improve it, automate it. Just like some kind of Benjamin Franklin printing press.. Based upon 3d printed molds and gears..
    First making one stamp per 10 minutes, but automate it, improve it to a rhythm of one stamp per 5 seconds or so. Doing 12 flowerpots per minute.. 80 per hour.. If one pot is a dollar, you make 80 dollars an hour. Or 1000 in a 12 hour workday.
    As a tool for inventors. For small series production..
    But also for living in a remote place on the planet. A simple press with 3d printed molds for rooftiles, bricks, flower pots, that a farmer on a remote island can put in his garage.
