Bead Sprite Printer V2

- This machine is an upgrade to the one I built 2 years ago (see • Bead Sprite Printer ). I wanted something faster, larger and more reliable then the previous build. Was also interested in changing how the beads were placed, rather than placing row by row (v1), I decided to place color by color instead. A few comparison stats...
Bead Machine V1
Beads/minute : ~10
Largest Size : 32x32 (1,024)
Total Colors : 64
Bead Machine V2
Beads/minute : ~20
Largest Size : 100x100 (10,000)
Total Colors : 38
Source files (sorry, its pretty messy right now):
Firmware + Software : github.com/Che...
CAD : TBD (let me know in comments if you know a good sharing platform for this)
More Details:
Total project time was about 3 months (Jan 2021 - April 2021)
Base used to be a cnc machine (BobsCNC Evolution 4)
One big change was moving from an all in one setup (v1), to 3 separate stations (bead refiller, pick/place machine, fuser). The reason I separated the bead refiller was that it was extremely loud in v1, caused vibrations throughout the machine, beads would also occasionally get stuck. So having this run separately and only when I needed it was a huge benefit. The fusing system was originally part of the pick/place machine but it was hard to keep the bed leveled (needed some level detection hw). Also, when fusing large pieces, the plastic smell was pretty bad and probably not too healthy. I moved the piece to a filtered tent in the garage for these reasons
wow amazing, just what I was looking for :)
I can never get the agitator to work for my design, been working on it for a year or so and just been stumped every time i look at my machine. Your stuff is amazing by the way.
This is amazing! Do you ever plan on sharing your schematics or program so people can build their own? Even your version 1 is amazing
this is truley amazing! i cant imagine the skill and talent this took to make!!!
Really love your solutions for taking messy beads and controlling them so precisely. Do you have an Etsy shop or something to sell your works of art?
Hey Knezuld, this is awesome, wow! 🤩You said you are trying to find a good way to share the CAD files, I would love to try at least the bead placer if not all of it on my own, could you please share your files? Have you thought about something like thingyverse? Cheers!
Amazing build ❤
Very cool look forward to the next video
j'adore complètement le concept de l'imprimante a perle.
Hey not sure you are doing open source for this or if you are going to upload any docs recreating this but please let me know!
This is fantastic!
I've commented on the older videos. I'm STILL trying to find a solution! Years later! I'm trying to decorate a full-size 4-player arcade cabinet with bead sprites, but hand-made sprites are hundreds of dollars PER SPRITE every where my cabinet builder and I have looked! It would cost me over $10,000 just to decorate my cabinet. Someone needs to build one of these machines and offer it for hire.
As it stands, my cabinet builder has been learning how to program 3D printers, so he can 3D-print the bead sprites, THEN paint them by hand. Again, we tried to hire a 3D printer programmer, but they wanted waaaay too much PER SPRITE. They wouldn't just give us a reasonable price for the entire cabinet.
I really need someone with this machine to offer it for hire...
Found a Solution? :)
@@jemkein still planning to try and build our own. Work/life has been busy for both me and my arcade builder. Hopefully soon we’ll start, hence my checking back here for any possible developments.
AMAZING! Is email the easiest way to share CAD files?
Are you sharing your schematics or program so people can build their own?
Have you made a bussines out of this? Can people buy your creations?
nice man!
Eres un genio 😮
good work!Can I ask that what kind of the Material you use on 1:36 for the pipe
I have the same question! What are those pipes?
Just curious if you or anyone you know has made the actually beads using a printer?
Looks funny. But it took very long. Need to optimize Speed. Also 1250 beads as storage is not much. I do portraits quicker.
Just spoke with my arcade builder. Sounds like we might try to build one of these ourselves. He'd like to have one for his shop.
Are you guys self taught? Or engineers of some sort?
hello,
do you have find a solution for upload your cad model?
WOW! Do you have a website where you can purchase these or something?
There are tons of perler sprite you can buy of platforms like Etsy. Not currently selling any myself though
@@knezuld11 You're really missing out on a great opportunity for yourself!
@@knezuld11 how many beads per second is your machine by the way?
@@OmegaGiven its about 1 bead per 3 seconds on average
@@knezuld11 ooof that’s a hitter on time. Thanks for the response though! Been trying to build one of these for a while and just run into walls where I lose motivation of going on. I’m a CS major so physical things are a little more of a chore to me
Would you sell the whole printer
@Top_A_06 I am definitely interesting in purchasing one for the premade machines
