Drill powered tumbler

thingiverse

This DIY rock tumbler is designed to smooth out small parts with ease. It's powered by a drill and requires no complicated setup or stair effect. The variable speed drill runs on batteries or an electric power source, but be aware that some users may have issues due to excessive noise levels. Instructions are included below for those looking to build their own tumbler at home: For this project you will need the following items: - 2 aluminum or steel rods measuring 4mm in diameter and varying lengths (for the drill attachment) - 4 bolts with a 3mm hex key head and 8mm thread - 1 rubber band suitable for office use - A drill with variable speed settings - 1 support plate for stabilizing the can - 4 small rollers made of metal or plastic - 3 stirring rods First, attach the bolt to each wheel side hole. Secure the wheels in place using rubber bands, keeping them tight with an Allen wrench (1.5mm hex key). Align the tumbler and support the rod ends by inserting them into pre-drilled holes. Fasten the rods securely with 3x8mm bolts. For better results, you may want to add some epoxy to keep your can's wheels stable and in motion. Consider adding weights or heavy objects on each side of the tumbler to avoid accidents and make the process smoother. Don't forget to save your back by supporting the entire setup during use.
