DIY WIRE BENDING MACHINE

thingiverse

Hello friends, I've built a 2D wire bending machine using an Arduino microcontroller. This compact machine bends 1sq mm brass wire with ease. Most parts are 3D printed on my Tevo Tarantula printer. Firstly, the wire passes through a wire straining mechanism before being pulled by a 3D printer filament pusher mechanism driven by a stepper motor. The wire guider then feeds the wire further and a bender arm mounted on the shaft of another stepper motor bends the wire. Currently, my code allows for five basic shapes to be programmed, which can be selected from the serial monitor and their sizes can also be user-defined. I hope you like it...
