This idea was shared as it requires no tools or equipment for prototyping. The creator is seeking input on the design from others. The concept involves a machine that uses a screw-in sleeve to attach a nylon cylinder, which compresses when shut. To finalize the 3D design, a spring and lid are needed between the collar and inner tool sleeve. A hole was made for a 5mm mill bit with a 6mm hole and 1mm slits. The shaft is 5mm in diameter, but the creator is unsure about spindles on the machine. An added idea involves using titanium for the inner collar and magnetic material for the shaft to operate an electromagnet. Tool bits will be positioned vertically in a cup that matches the collar diameter, with the electromagnet turning off when dropping the bit. The creator welcomes suggestions for addressing potential issues like magnetism or creating a vacuum in the shaft.
