I am a robotics teacher. This will be extremely handy when we go to take apart our robots. Sorting nuts and bolts is the most tedious part of my job. I may need to modify the files, but thank you so much for this.
It should be reasonably easy to motorize this as well to run basically autonomously. You could even experiment with adding some vibration to the whole thing to make the hopper more reliable in case it gets stuck too often.
@@acerqua24 i am on a vex team to and when I saw this, that was the first thing I think about I’m still trying to find one that will fit the screws. I think they’re around like an M4.

Holy shit! How do you only have 5k subscribers? Your video production is amazing. The animations are stellar! Great demonstration of your thought processes and problem solving.
All things considered I really don't think you have over engineered this. Compared to other solutions I have seen there are no redundant operations. Well done!
6:51 Small tip for how to remove the bolts from a single container with multiple compartments: Hold something flat over all but the outermost compartment and empty that compartment. Repeat with the second outermost compartment, etc.
All the keyboard cowboys can say how it could be better. I say it's AWESOME and a joy simply to watch the video. I only wish I had your design skills, patience and command of a foreign language. Nicely done, sir. Nicely done indeed.
This is cool. Now we just need the following; a way to separate colour (silver and black), head type (pan, countersunk and button), tool type(hex, torx, phillips etc) and nuts by colour, size and type(nylon grip or standard). In any case I will still make this. I will probably motorise it as I like the idea of dumping a handful of bolts in the hopper and coming back later to find them all sorted as if by magic. Really cool work, subbed.
spending hours and hours designing a solution that maybe 3 other people in the world besides you will need. love it. i probably spent 30-40 hours converting my duster to accept milwaukee batteries. worth every minute.
GENIUS! at work we'd spend DAYS sorting hardware. What you need now is a dedicated head-sorter and THICKNESS sorter. 10-32, 8-32, 1/4-20, 3/8 panheads, machine screws
Last video of the day and it is such a hidden gem! Love the video and the ingenuity that went into the print. I have the exact same set of M3 screws and I am sure it won't stay as well sorted as it is right now for long. Now... Please create one for M2, M4, M5 screws! And for some bonus problem solving: Perhaps you can put everything into one print! Definitely subscribed and I'm saving your print for later so I have it ready should the need arise.
I wish you all the luck you deserve with this channel. This video is a gem. From the music you chose, the editing, the humorous remarks, the subtle explanations of the physics involved, to the final product. Fantastic.
Pushing 3D printed part/assembly/machine capability to a very satisfying place! Bravo EmGi! Your machine also reminds me of the pain of being an engineer in the US: try sorting out hex head bolts, and also fitting the sizes, "1/2, 11/16, 7/8" and so on, color embossed on the bolt-length scale face, instead of "5, 10, 15, 20, 25..."!
about two years ago i dropped a case of like 50x different sized M2.5 and M3 bolts that since then live inside three plastic bags in the back of my drawer, this could be the answer to my prayers
Very nice design! Would maybe be an small improvement if you engrave bolt size on the containers so you wont forget when you take multiple containers out or something else. Otherwise have size on both the containers and the big cointainer where they sit in. But this may be a personnal preference.
Sehr nice! Das hätte ich gebraucht als ich vor einigen Wochen unsere "Schraubenkiste" in der die letzten Jahre so ziemlich alles gelandet ist, "aufgeräumt" habe... 😀 Habe direkt abonniert ❤
This was the first video of yours that I watched. YT FINALLY got something correct for this suggestion!! This video alone was worth a sub, but I went back and watched all your previous videos. You've reignited my excitement about 3D printing that other channels haven't been able to do. I much prefer the narrators voice in this video as compared to the first one or two. If this is your voice, please keep using it for all your videos! Wonderful work! Thank you!
Thank you! i had to use the other voice in my first video because i didnt have a good mic ( horrible quality can be heard in my second video) but i was able to improve audio quality quite a bit
The rail thing where bolts get vertical could be an insert that’s fast and simple to swap. Make it a size that like m5 bolts would get stuck in and any other size would fall into a collection basket below. Then swap in a size for m4 bolts. Then m3. Then m2. Then all the bolts will be sorted very easy. Make the rail at least like 15 mm deep though so it doesn’t let the target size fall through the wider gaps w weird alignments.
awesome job! I'd love to see a part two with a more general solution to the screw/bolt bin that are not just 1 head size/diameter. Maybe just based on weight? Like, the eternal problem many people (like me) have is they have a bucket full of screws/bolts of all sizes, and it's very handy to have around, but the small ones go the the bottom and stuff. It would be nice to be able to sort them in ~5 weight/length classes. Again, awesome video
Thank you! because of the many requests i get i will probably try to make a improved version that supports multiple types of bolts/screws as well as diffrent diameters
This is amazing! I also tried to automate it in some way and was about at the point where you were at 4:00. Your idea with the rotating drum is genius! I still have not given up on an add-on for my sorter to automatically sort them. I guess I need to steal some design choices from you! 😂 Great video and thank you for sharing! 🎉
I just got into 3d printing and this is the kind of stuff I want to do, it looks incredible, thank you for sharing your thought process it was very insightful
Just wow man, incredible! So glad you are willing to share these files for free as well. Cant wait to give this a try, and if that didnt earn a subscription idk what will!
So overcomplicated, so much labour to improve the machine, so very german! I LOVE IT! Even the paulaner spezi couldn't be missed. BTW: just another idea to overcomplicate things... what about a linear 2 one-way rotational adapter on the 90º lifter? this way you could just rotate a drum in the same direction on both in and out stroke for an overcomplication perfection machine
Just an ease of use thing, and I know almost anyone who feels the need to do it could, but adding a slot on the side for either a pre-existing clamp or an optional one that can be printed along with it to slide into and secure the sorter down to say the edge of a table or desk would (I think) make using it a whole lot easier
Ha! I just said the same thing before looking in the comments. Someone else also suggested a clacker to smack the bottom of the tray to jostle the bolts. I think both ideas are valid, the agitator might be the more elegant and reliable method, though.
Loving it! Maybe after the transition from the bolt being vertical to being picked at oriented in the horizontal: have a little correction chute to correctly catch a receive the bolt before it is allowed to roll down the final ramp. This funnel and final chute helps to collect and prevent jams whilst making sure the cap can be hanging correctly over the support. Maybe there needs to be a gate to limit bolts from having the wrong speed.
Probably could add a mechanism to rattle the feed tray to reduce chance it gets stuck there. Maye be for the output make it so barrel that can pick up more than one each pass in case more than one falls in the queue.
Dude that is awesome!!! I have lots of small bolts and nuts of different diameters and materials. Searching for part I need is a mess. An idea for the next project - sorting stuff by mass into say 256 (16x16) boxes by using automated pocket scale.
I printed a pair of your V1 magnet inserters. They went together perfectly and work great. I don’t have a use for this item, but went ahead and subscribed to your Patreon channel to provide support. Looking forward to seeing your next act of innovation!
This is an amazing idea and I wish I could use it. Since I work in a machine shop, we have so many different sizes of bolts and screws laying around in boxes that this would be a game changer for organizing and resorting them. Unfortunately, while it does sort them, it does so by the length of the bolts and not by the length, the diameter (of either the head or the threads), and the TPI's of the bolts. So, for example, if I had 8 different sizes of bolts and screws that I needed to sort, that means I would need 16 of these sorters to cover the two different TPI's we have for each type of bolt or screw. I suppose I could just use a thread gage or a bolt checker to separate each size and TPI's before putting them into this sorter but at that point, I might as well just use a ruler at the same time to figure out the lengths. On a side note, it would be interesting to see if you can modify this design to have an attachment for a servo or some other type of motor and you just use gear ratios to control the speed of everything so nobody has to worry about programming the motor. They would just need to purchase the motor off Amazon, attach it, turn it on, and go.
great machine, now all we need is a pre sorter that can sort out different diameters from m3 to m10. then this sorter can just be scaled up op match the diameter
You could probably add a circular agitator to the hopper that spins with the push of the lever back and forth to keep from manually having to agitate the bolts.
Absolutely love the problem solving in this project, and the video production is amazing!!
Thank you! really means alot to get good feedback from such an experienced creator!
Mr. Staton made a honor posting here because EmGI deserve it.
@@EmGi_happy this space exists and there are awesome people in it that use the Internet for better
Would it not assist if it were motorised to maintain a set speed that works best?
Nicely done. You had me at, "instead of spending 2 minutes sorting them manually, i will spend hundreds of hours building a device that does the job for me." Truer words have never been said. 👍
Absolutely
And problem solving is wayyyy more fun than bolt sorting.
Same goes for software engineering: "Five hours of debugging can save you a good 5 min of reading documentation" 😅
It's an engineer thing!
Hundreds of hours of design to save 2 minutes? I'M IN !
Ditto.
Yeah, but it's 2min saved for everyone who makes and uses it.
That's the spirit.
The urge to spend hours to fix a minutes problem
2 minutes if you have 10 bolts. now to 10,000
Rendering the Animations almost killed my PC so i did the necessary and bought a New 3D printer
I had a similar problem, I needed new tires for my car, so I bought AMS
That's how complex renders are made these days: you print out the scene, let physics do the baking, and film it. Scan the scene with a 3d scanner, then texture and render the frames. Voila 😂
This is some impressive piece of engineering, btw!
Lol
What software did you use for the animations? They look amazing
Thank you! they were done in blender 4.2
Now make a pre-sorter that sorts different diameters.
So your desk looks like "Let's Game it out" Satisfactory session when everything is chained together.
Oh and everything needs to operated by a single lever of course...
The lever must be operated by an AI-controlled motor that determines peak velocity for all the sorters simultaneously.
You'll need another tier for threads per inch.
@@tommy8716These are metric bolts, so it'll be thread pitch rather than tpi (e.g. 1.5mm per thread)
@@HydroculatorYou don't need AI for that.
@@bobweiram6321but AI is an important unnecessary added complication!!

Turning a 2 minutes job to a 2 days job is the real engineering.
2 minutes only if you have a handful of bolts. This is for professionals who do this thing regularly so that they won't have to lose 2 days.

I love that this could so easily be motorized with a single motor and a cammed disk
Loving it! Maybe after the transition from the bolt being vertical to being picked at oriented in the horizontal: have a little correction chute to correctly catch a receive the bolt before it is allowed to roll down the final ramp.
