This is the beginning of a video series about multiple automation machines. It is called "the modular production system"
We start with modules that I build using 3d printing to count and package screws.
In each video we will go through the development.

Christopher your content, designs and fabrication abilities are outstanding.
Exactly my sentiments ! 😊❤
I don't often insta-subscribe before finishing a video.
Christopher is single handedly producing content and devices at industrial quality just as a prototype shop 5 people team. Gotta respect that! 👍🏻
Can't wait to see more content like this!
This channel needs more support because it's beyond any other R&D related channel you can find on TH-cam.
Every decent engineer can do that. The only differentiating factor is amount of money.

@@Kawka1122 don't forget time!
@@joshmdmd and time
You might want to add a shield to keep the chips from getting in your plastic gears.
I would also consider a different solution to hold the box in place, something with springs and/or magnets to avoid the use of two external plastic parts and a drill
Damn beat me to it. saw those plastic shavings hitting the Vaseline and immediately wanted a shield.
Also agree on that manual fixation action that is quite time consuming.
You can do something like spring retention clips that have like a little triangle bit on the end. So when you push it in it snaps into place and to take it out. All you do is push in the tab
@@Haagimus I think toggle clamps would work very well, they could just pivot down into the hand holes. They are often used in workholding in small production runs.
Honestly even a sheet of paper or thin cardboard would do. I poke a hole through cardboard and put my nozzle through the hole whenever I blow chips to contain them.
With the plastic being cut I doubt there is significant heat in the 'chips' so this type of guard would work.
“Would you like to see more electronic designs in the videos” Yes please!
It's quite amazing to witness how much you manage to combine two very interesting (and difficult IMO) skill sets into these bite-sized video updates. I'd love to also see the electronic aspects of your projects. Being more of a software guy, this domain scares me - in a good way.
Keep up the nice work!
I have noticed that a lot of these channels that I've been getting in my recommendations are often not even a year old with quite a lot of subscribers and views. Maybe I should start one of these just to document my builds as I love making stuff just as much as I love watching others doing the same. And a common factor between them seems to be very high quality videos from the start.

Genuinely stunning work, would love to see at least the overview of the electronics.
Excellent work. In many disciplines, "cheap" and "lazy" are insults - not so in engineering. It seems like you've put just the right amount of effort and robustness into the design to do the intended job - an optimal outcome!
Engineering is just the management of compromises
First of all, your designs and ideas are incredible. I just cant but wonder what you did in the past and how you got so far that you got the knowledge, tools and inspiration to do what you do. Maybe a question for the Q and A :)
These are the skills of someone involved in machine building, toolmaking and jig / fixture making. Manufacturing, specifically in the German style with an Industry 4.0 / Lean Manufacturing understanding. If you watch how junior engineers are trained in Germany under people who make CNC machines for example, you can see why Chris has been given the mental tools he needs to let his innovative brain run free.
@@ChrizRockster Wish that happened here in the states lol. Land of the proudly ignorant
@@ChrizRockster Know anywhere that somebody could read about that?
@@jetplumeWhat do you mean? Reading of how trainees learn to do what they do or how integration of industry 4.0 is working?
@@unknown_user2345 I'm looking for the training materials used to teach them.
Thank you so much for your content. I think I can speak for a lot of us saying that whatever content you are willing to share with us is more than appreciated because it is an absolute joy to watch
Your content is incredible. The more you make the better! Would love to see videos on your electrical design
MAN
Your channel blows mind.
This kind of engineering is best thing ever.
Bless the gods of interweebs for allowing us to be a part of your adventures!
The way you're explaining what you do so nonchalantly is even more mind blowing than what you do. I'm jealous of your talent, and grateful that you share what you do with everyone. Your videos are very fun to watch. Thank you
It’s not just your voice, I freaking love ur hands… the way you smear the cream …
Bruh lmao
WOW!!! Outstanding design by fitting your production elements into totes. What an excellent way to create a modular design.
I like seeing your projects come to fruition, despite the fact that I have no possible use for such equipment and lack the required skills, know how and patience to work through a project build that you have documented. The fact that you are building cabinets from these generic plastic crates makes perfect sense as a design, and it's a cool business decision to use something so widely available and so repeatable. I wonder how many other useful products could be build around the simple plastic stacking crate.
"I didn't want to be bothered spending time cutting boxes, so i am spending time making a machine to do it for me" :P awesome work and quite scalable
You could also add a vacuum near the box under the table to get all the dust away, or use air pressure. Very nice project. Like to look how it grows
you said it in the end that you will add a vacuum, I think my idea with pressurised air is a bit messy, the chips will land everywhere
If you move the clamping mechanisms to the inside of the box, you could have them permanently mounted rather than having them removed and re-attached at each mounting, and if you have a long threaded rod with opposite threads on each end, you could make it so you only have to put the driver onto one end to tighten both clamps. Taking this two steps further, you could automate the driver by having a stepper motor mounted on the plate that automatically tightens the rod at the start of the process and loosens at the end of the job.
This has been immense inspiration for a box milling solution i also require. Thankyou.
The level of thought and skill to put this together is impressive. Please keep producing content of your work.
The designs and the clean implementations are extraordinary. Loved it
I have always wondered what router companies didn't recess a 4th or 5th axis in the table. So cool to see you do it!
There are a few commercial ones available for a steep price. Most are mounted on the side or ends.
impeccable work as usual. congratulations on the sponsorship!
I’ve done some antique cylinder phonograph restoration and the main springs used to be packed with petroleum jelly and graphite powder. I used graphite powder for plastic gear trains in environmental chambers. Very cool project
Incredible stuff, happy to hear all your thoughts on all your projects!
Nice work... using the special gears for rigidity was genius!
This is really interesting, nice to see open source automation that's on par with industry solutions
Love stumbling upon content and creators like this. Glad you decided to share what you do.
Super Design und klasse Video - vielen Dank für's Teilen Christopher!
Other than a couple nitpicks and things you've already noticed for improving, your setup is really good.
This is by far the cleanest DIY CNC I have seen. Good Job.
Die Volksfräse VF1 --- es gibt doch noch Hoffnung da draußen -- sehr gehaltvoller und inspirierender Content! Herzlichen Dank
Love your content -- and very interesting to see your design process, tackling sub-problems as you go! Electrical design info would also be fun to watch. Keep doing what you're doing :)
I absolutely love it. Just needs some "dust" collection. Or at the very least, the gears some covering.
using herringbone gears to reduce play is a very good idea. simple and brilliant. And also very good work overall, thanks for sharing.
I’m loving these videos! Very nice to follow your journey! So cool! Please do also explore those electrical engineering challenges!
Just binged the series, can't wait for more!
I'm sitting here absolutely flabbergasted at everything you do
Very clean production and video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
This is INCREDIBLE!!
Thank you!
this is beautiful.
if I ever come into the situation that I need such a solution, I now know where to look.
those boxes are literally dirtcheap, the only important part is to set up the injection molding once (which isn't easy) and then it cranks out those boxes for literally material cost.
and they are designed to be massively sturdy.
Just subscribed. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and look forward to more. Thankyou for all the time and effort you took to share this.
Outstanding. Great job Christopher.
This was so awesome and impressive on so many levels. Finally the TH-cam algorithm spits out a gem! Outstanding work. New subscriber ✌🏻
I always enjoy watching your content. I find it very interesting and inspiring. Keep it up!
This is so great! Really love it! What a nice way of thinking and engineering! Well done!
If you don’t like gear lubrication you could try making the gears or at least their teeth out of nylon, which is supposed to be low friction and self lubricating. I also saw you can get PC-PTFE blended filament which has low friction but it is expensive.
Edit: something else I have used is a PTFE spray lubricant, it is quite messy to apply being a spray but it dries onto the part, coating it in a layer of PTFE which means it doesn’t really pick up dust since it is dry but it makes it very smooth and lubricated.
PTFE is also bad for the environment, so best to avoid unless it is production critical.
@@szurketaltos2693Explain how Polytetrafluoroethylene is bad for environment, please.
@@mil3k PTFE breaks down into PFOA which is associated with cancer and other health risks. And, GenX (a precursor of PTFE) causes similar risks -- so the production of PTFE is quite bad for the environment.
I was wondering what an absolute GENIUS looked like. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
Your design and workflow is amazing. You could make a toilet paper hold and I would be fascinated.
The idea of a modular assembly/sorting process is really cool.
Astounding. Really enjoy watching your progress.
I was expecting modelling, designing, mechanical or plc automation courses from the course website. I think we need a video like how you came this level. I like your videos as a mechanical engineer. I wish you the best
I really like the parts you make, watched all previous videos after seeing this. 👍
Your videos are great, really outstanding! Would love to see more of the electrical engineering side of your project!
I only saw the video now, but I have to congratulate you on the project and the realization of the whole thing. I really appreciate it, well done! You already have my membership. I hope for new interesting videos and evolutions. See you soon, greetings. 👍🏼
Christopher, ypour videos are outstanding !!! Add more videos on this please, Would love to see more videos !! Greetings from Argentina
love your work my dude, keep up the amazing content , can not wait until the next video!
Thank you!
Yes on the electronics. Very interested in that.
Love this video, so nice to see a product maturing.
Amazing video Christopher!
Definitely looking forward to the Q&A. 👍👍😎👍👍
Top Arbeit Christopher! Ich ziehe meinen Hut.
Genius!! I loved watching this. i wish i was as clever as you. Subscribed!! cant wait to see future projects 👍
I am also a big lover of Euro boxes, especially the format 40 x 30.
You could adjust the size of the wood cutout on top and one of the handle grippers could stay permanently affixed and it would save you quite a bit of time with the mounting process. You could place the box down, clip it in to the handle gripper, and then attach the other one with the bolt.
Wow, amazing! Thanks for sher yout project
Insane video! Incredible work
This is truly AMAZING! 👍
Really awesome!! And I am so curious how you integrated 4th and 5th axis into your CAM and CNC software. Hopefully seeing it in another video soon. 👍👍👍
Also curious about triggering external axis or events from ESTLCAM
Same, wondering if it’s sensor driven or timed.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video! I’d definitely be interested to see more of your electrical work👍😁
Designer level: genius! Love your work.
Are you concerned about cut plastic making its way into your gears? from the video the plastic cuttings already made it pretty close to them
I think you are right. Some covers would be a good idea.
Maybe a 3/4” tube with vacuum or air compression blower angled towards the cutting region too
Love it your building processes 👍🏼
really inspired 😎
Honestly spectacular execution as always. Only one note (from grim experience). Plastic swarf getting into herringbone gears is -the worst-. Given the design, it wouldn't be difficult to incorporate a shroud that stops it from getting to them, and will give you years of life from this system.
Excellent ideas and execution, bravo
Amazing content! Would absolutely love to see more on the electronics
I've been watching you for a while now and man I just really love the content. don't know but I find it both interesting as a learning process but also a little entertaining. One advice tho is to add a cover for those gears since in certain orientations, the bottom big gear is exposed to plastic debris which can jam the gear and ruin the 3d printed gears (though maybe 80% of debris will be sucked through the vacuum so maybe it's not as important)
What an amazing TH-cam channel. So glad I stumbled upon it. Instant sub.
That is an incredible machine! Well done!
I would love to see more electrical engineering too. Your videos are fantastic already and I think your electronics videos would be great too
Really nice clean design! 5th axis stuff is a game changer I don't think I could go back to just 3 it just makes life easier and opens up new possibilities. Only feedback I could think of is it would be worth making a shroud or cover for the gearing on the bottom as it'll be a chip magnet. Even with a vacuum system hooked up they will get everywhere.
Einfach herrlich, Danke.
Beautiful design
Excellent. Thanks from Colorado.
Outstanding and brilliant!
Wow that is amazing how much work is in that, holy moly do not stop this awsome work :-) 👍👍
Really good 3+2 CNC. Nice work.
Awesome stuff! I enjoyed that.
Absolutely Brilliant! Well done x 1000!
Gorgeous work buddy.
Das ist besonders schön! Klasse!
Wonderful video. Great design and fabrication skills. ❤
Your content is awesome, keep going!
Very nice milling machine you have there. One of the turning motors sounds very loud compared to the others, but all in all, it's seems to work very smoothly.
Absolutely amazing
Nice, great project, very interesting!
The factory must grow!
Awesome work... thanks for sharing
