Just wanted to show off the new 3D printed roto-molder I just designed for hollow silicone molds. This one doesn’t use a belt simply because I didn’t want to buy them and I have no shortage of filament.
Uses a laptop charger, cheap buck, ESP32 CYD, drv8825 and a 0.8Nm stepper motor. Simple UI to keep code short \~ <150 lines
Fits 120x120x120cm molds.
Testing it out first thing in the AM to make some mushroom toys for my daughter! #technology source
