Very impressive!</b><br /> This is a remix of the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:950452">Bicycle Bubble Machine </a> by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/heinzdrei/about">heinzdrei </a>.<br /> <br /> I was very excited about heinzdrei's bicycle bubble machine and tried to build one this summer. Everything went okay so far, even if some parts, especially the tank took over 15 hours to print. I assembled everything but had problems with the tank. It was not tight even when printed with 100% infill and the soap always leaked. <br /> I printed it twice, the last with 100% infill and 3 perimeters without success. The tank was useable but the result was not satisfying due to the leaking and dropping soap. Maybe the reason was my self-made printer which is not perfectly calibrated.<br /> Anyway I decided to redesign the machine and especially the tank and I like to present it here.<br /> Please give all credits and tips to heinzdrei, the original designer who had the idea of this fantastic machine.<br /> <br /> <h2><b>My changes to the original design:</b></h2> <ul> <li>I made the tank with walls of acrylic plates of 2 mm thickness and printed only the non-planar walls of the tank. Finally I glued everything together with plastic glue (Uhu hart Kunststoffkleber). This is easy to make because all joints are planar. The resulting tank is tight now and mostly transparent. The advantage is (in spite of its more difficult assembly) that the tank part which carries the bubbler wheel can be made a little bit higher, so that less soap is sloshing out and the foam building is reduced as I can see from the first trials.</li> <li>I changed the wind wheel size from 140 mm to 170 mm diameter. This makes it easier to make your own trails. Now you can control the awareness of your fellow men with ease!</li> <li>2 Axis of 2 mm diameter and 40 mm length</li> <li>2 Axis of 2 mm diameter and 60 mm length</li> <li>Rubber bands of different size (depends on your setup)</li> <li>Plywood as mounting tray</li> <li>The printed plastic parts (I used PETG in different colors)</li> </ul> <h2><b>Instruction:</b></h2> Print all the parts. Glue the tank parts together with the acrylic sheets as you can see it in the pictures. If you want to make your own soap for trails, here is my recipe which works fine for me: <ul> <li>1 l deionized water</li> <li>50 ml Fairy Ultra Plus dishwashing liquid (green color)</li> <li>1/2 teaspoonful of guar gum</li> <li>1 level teaspoon of backing soda</li> <li>1/2 teaspoonful of wallpaper paste</li> </ul> Mix everything together with a wire whisk until all the ingredients are solved, wait a few hours until the foam is disappeared. Now the solution is ready for use. Disclaimer: I have tried out the described things and they worked for me. Use the instructions and methods at your own risk. <h2>Have Fun!</h2>
