Hey Guys,
I am deadset on building a rotomold machine at makehaven.
Rotomolds can be used for molding rubber duckies and other vinyl toys.[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"233","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"431","width":"480"}}]]
See attached specs: http://www.solsylva.com/cnc/rotomolder.shtml
Seems very simple and looks like we can make some of the gears on the 3D Printer.
Progress Report
John S. downloaded an modified this gear for a 5/8 threaded rod.
It looks like the specs actually call for the gears to fit on a 5/16 threaded rod:)
I have fabricated the the three frames and they are at makehaven.
Anybody should feel free to pick up this project while I am in California this week.
It would be really cool to come back and see that the pulley has been added as example :)
Below are shots of the the frames[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"234","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"480","width":"480"}}]]
