Jigging Auto Hook Tipup

thingiverse

I wanted an automatic jigging tipup. This is what I've got so far, and it works pretty well. However, I do plan to make some improvements in the future. The motor I was using was a bit loud, so I'm switching to a quieter 6v one with lower rpms. I also want to make it so they break down and you can stack two on top of each other to create a box. Those updates might not be done till next ice season. The trigger is based on this design https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:77050. I added a level to hold the line in place when it's jigging, but the original design doesn't work well when there's any slack in the line. Here are some Tinker Cad links: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9O07YOPC6Ae-jigging-rod-holder https://www.tinkercad.com/things/88CpPN3CxfQ-tipup-control-box https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1BTIA3blwCw-tipup-trigger I made this out of what I had lying around and recommend you do the same. Here's a list of materials: - Various #8 wood screws - A piece of 20mm aluminum square stock - Snap Swivel - Zip Tie - Small wood screws to mount trigger rope mount - Small bungee to hold on top of box - 4 3mmx20ish bolts for motor mount - Motor: I was using a 20mm 12v motor with gearbox rated at 30 rpm. The gearbox has two flat sides and two rounded, so if yours is different, you'll need to modify the mount. I was only giving it 7v to slow it down. - Power source: I used 2 18650 but anything that fits your motor should be fine. - 20mm switch or modify case and use what you have.
