Hi @Christopherhelmke with regards to your Feeder boxes, why did you use the Socket Head Cap Screw on the face plate? if you used a Flat Countersink screw you can remove the small arm that must move out of the way when the Socket Head Cap Screw goes past.
I think the roller should have a smooth groove as it is not critical that it engage with the belt. It will make the coveyor more reliable as a bearing fail will not result to a total failure but a degraded state
Imagining this coupled with an XY table for positioning and filling gridfinity bins makes me real excited. Going a step further, attaching a WMS system to allow production control to release BOMs directly to this and that filling a sub-assembly kit would be amazing. This is awesome work. Thanks so much for sharing the development.
I think the belt you chose was a good cost effective choice. If a full size conveyor belt would have doubled the build cost your justification totally makes sense. Your work is very inspiring!
Instead of tons of small rollers, consider using plastic guide rails (or wear strips) for the belt. it will generate more friction, but it would ease the assembly and reduce time wasted on 3D printing the parts. Or, use the same Teflon tubes under the boxes which can slide on them. Print simple guide bearings that slide over the tubes to centre the crate.
6:53 - You've done it a hundred time already so I expect you are already thinking of a quicker way to mount bins and other parts to your CNC table. For each operation you plan to do more than 5 times, just make a fixture. I am not advocating for a universal system that will work for every possible shape. I would just make a design and attach it to a piece of plywood. When you're done. Store it for later use. For those boxes there, a plywood board with snap-in/snap-out 3D printed detents can improve your productivity. It can have a cam on the side if you want something extra. Now that you've designed it, next time a slightly bigger box shows up, re-print the detents and cam and get another piece of plywood.
right decision on your part, to not get one of those belts. I'm working in the conveyor belt field. they don't got completely closed chambers, like you got now with separate boxes. would make it a hassle to get the screws, and nuts of 2 adjacent spaces on a belt, to not mix. Good job your doing!
+1 for FlexiSpot. I use a small FlexiSpot desk frame as the base for a welding table. It's amazing to adjust the height of the workpiece and be perfectly comfortable whilst welding. The table is so versatile I use it for other workshop jobs, infeed/outfeed table, chopsaw stand etc...
Neat project! Appreciate this and your other videos. Appreciate your honest take that there's more cost effective options, but personally think projects like this are cool way to explore ideas, potentially discover something better, or at least help lead you to better future ideas (assuming R&D is your goal, vs max execution). Cheers!
Great work, I love the iterative way you approach the design. I also get a bit of a sci-fi vibe when I see the way all the parts are ID'd and numbered. I'm curious to see how the restocking of the stock / part boxes will be achieved without the need to restack them.
The PVC belt may have been the better solution BUT testing the system with a lower cost solution that still works extreamly well is the better option for now. Great work so far Christopher and thanks for sharing such a great design ;) Cheers Stephen :D
I love this channel. I'm a mechanical engineer and I love uniformity, repeatability, and simplicity. I'd love to work with you, but looks like you've got it covered. I wish we could get euro containers in Australia. There are no real standardised crates here that don't cost the world. One of my favourite crates just changed their design recently and now it doesn't fit in any of my systems anymore. I think someone in Australia needs to import the equipment to make these containers locally.
Eurocrates are just injection molded plastic. What makes them special is the standardization. You can find the full specifications in a DIN I believe. I suspect it would be no harder to get an injection molding shop producing them than any other similar sized object, and the real expense would be the mold making.
Hey mate, what containers have you been using? I love this series and watching curiously how it unfolds, I too love uniformity, repeatability and simplicity especially since it usually adds to reliability. There’s not enough like us in the world though!
@@dejan. I have been doing production engineering for about the last 18 months. We don't use our crates as part of a machine like this, but it's part of our process of transportation and assembly. We have been using the 20L Handy crates from Bunnings. They now only make smaller ones or collapsible ones. It's just not the same.
Awesome video as usual. I work on automation projects at work, and would love to have the toolset to be able to make projects like this. Must keep learning :) Thank you for the video!
Thank you for another great video! Questions - What kinds of business models are you exploring? I'd like to launch an open hardware business, like the LumenPnP, but think you need the "celebrity" side of youtube to make it viable. What do you think? Q - What is your process for selecting parts? I.e., i select electronic parts from JLCPCB's basic parts service as it guarantees they are "jellybean", so cheap and widely available. Is there a mechanical equivalent? Maybe a European McMaster-Carr? I'm in the UK so sourcing parts for prototypes is not straightforward like in the US. Q - How would you see this growing to a company? I.e. who would you hire first? Dedicated admin/another engineer, and how would you like to see your role changing? Q - Nobody ends up building what they wanted originally, they always build something along the way. What is your original end goal and how has it changed?
Part Commonality / Parts Reduction (whatever you want to call it!) is good though, so despite the PVC Belt potentially being “better”, from my perspective at least, using standard Belts (used as Timing Belts, and in many FDM 3D Printers etc thus readily available to most people) and the Boxes one will already need to make this device is quite neat!
Amazing video, I have loved watching your progress! I have a few questions for your next video: -What was the path you took to find testing companies? -What is the time put into each of these designs? I would love to have a frame of reference to aspire to as I work on my own projects!
Eurobox or Eurokiste. One main supplier where I get my Boxes from is Auer Packaging. Another brand is SSI Schäfer but they are all stackable. You can get them in different sizes. You can also stack for examble two 30*40 cm Boxes on the one step bigger box (60*40cm). Greetings from Germany
I love this series. Great job! My only thought about this as I watched it is that it’s not scalable. Those little boxes having to be placed in a CNC and a human placing two screws to hold it down and then unscrew it to remove the box, then feed the belt through the holes and place the cap on it is just not scalable if you were hoping to provide this solution to many companies. I know you’ll find a way around that so I’m enjoying seeing this proof of concept in action!
if you used (well lubricated) chains in place of the belts, you'd potentially be able to print those as well and wouldn't have to replace an entire PVC belt every time it tore. you could also use the same type of chain as bike chains, and you'd be able to use the same motor setup you already have with the inclusion of a gear.
Hi Christopher, If you use a countersunk bolt head, the nut's head in the rotating plastic circle will not stay out. You don't need a moving arm to skip the head.
Great job on the innovation! I'd love to learn more about the speed specifications, such as the output capacity during a standardized work cycle. I believe that information would be crucial for organizations. Keep up the good work!
Will all positions of an order be fed into the same box to then be packaged by the packaging unit? Or will each position be fed into the packaging machine separately? ...it seems a bit counterintuitive to firstly sort and count the parts, then add different types into one container in contrast to counting and packaging each type separately. E.g. for my Voron build it helped tremendously that each type of fastener was separately packaged.
Do you have any advice for version and part tracking? I see you have part numbers but where do you track this information and how do you keep track of design iterations? Do you know of any resources to help learn this aspect of engineering?
Absolutely excellent project. I really need a slightly smaller desktop version of something like this for my Etsy business, I put together kits of 3D printed parts that need to be sorted in the correct quantity per color.
This conveyor system has a major advantage over the fancy belt, in that you can change every detail about it. The belt may be a lot less work, but it's more complicated to deal with during prototyping, and probably scales worse with smaller setups. If someone has half the length you do, does the belt only double their upfront investment?
great stuff! i have an idea for you.. you can add some quality control on the output of the conveyer belt with a precision scale. For a particular kit contents, knowing the exact number of each component and the per component weight, you can quickly weight a kit and verify it is within some tolerance to know the part counts are correct with some amount of probability. And if it doesn't pass that QC check, the parts can be diverted to be checked later. Looking forward to the rest of this project!
First I dont think having the rollers conforming to the shape of the belt teeth is necessary, I also agree with the latter statement that using pvc belt would be better mostly because (if it aint broken....etc) But i do understand the attraction of making it myself. another point would be serviceability. I would belive that it took quite along time to assemble all the containers in the current solution. Anyway i love it !!!!
Another truly amazing video Christopher, your attention to detail is unlike anything that I've seen before. For the next video addressing the questions, I'd really like to know more about your overall workflow, like how you come up with solutions to technical problems such as how you've come to design the locking magazines for the feeders, It seems really well refined which results in well thought out designs. Is that drawing board in the background a part of your design process and if it is, how and why do you use manual drawing techniques in combination with CAD? Thank you.
Nice to see the conveyor moving so well, the Teflon tubes were an excellent decision! My question: I have been recently fascinated with printed vibratory bowls and was wondering if this could be added to serve as a feeding method for non magnetic components? - They have their downsides in how to mount/dissipate the vibration but might be interesting! Keep up to good work as always!
Teflon has essentially no wear resistance - thos plastic bins will cut right through it. It is fine here as a proof of concept but will need to be replaced with something robust like Turcite (expensive) or precision ground steel rod.
I have an interesting question. Why did you delete the video where you talked about Prusa and how Prusa missed out on innovations when Bambu Lab launched their printers? Because I think you are right, so I am just interested why you deleted this video. (Because my printers from Prusa are just not as good as expected)
Hi, the video quality (audio & image) was just so bad that It didn't really match the rest of the videos. So I changed it to "not listed". It is not because I have changed my mind about this :)
Boring solutions usually don't teach you as much as building your own solution. I usually take the learning part as a great positive over just buying something already made, even if it's cheaper and faster.
as someone who has worked on automated warehouses, you’re going to want to put an angled cover on the inside of your buckets. things will get stuck in there for 100% sure.

I hope this wasn't obvious in your other videos or else I missed it, but why on the screw counting machine do you have that arm that moves up and down to avoid the cap head screws that mounts it? Does it move up and down just to allow the cap head screw by?
This absolutely like the guy who wanted to manufacture lots of digital shirt flies. And ended up building a company for a fully automated cnc pick and place device.

Hi Christopher,
If you use a countersunk bolt head, the nut's head in the rotating plastic circle will not stay out. You don't need a moving arm to skip the head.
I'm guessing he uses the head to stir the parts to align with the magnet, so he then needs to pass them through. Can't wait to find out!
I`m very curious about what material you're using to print your parts. I assume its PETG but I might be wrong...
I am very intrigued with this project. Please continue sharing. A+
