Nonstop Sorting Machine STL files

thingiverse

This STL file is sourced from Thingiverse, specifically from thing:194551. Note that some part names are incorrect regarding their functions; for instance, 'lightsensorbrkt1' and 'lightsensorbrkt2' are actually servo mounts for the feeder or belt advancer servo. The file also includes machine pins, but it is unclear where they go. Short link parts serve as servo hold downs on the sorting table part, while long links represent the servo side of the ratcheting belt advance. The servo X bracket and triangle bracket are for the funnel feeder, and a missing bracket is required for the color sensor. Credit goes to the original designer; the file was simply exported for easier printing purposes. The source code has been released on eevblog forum in the latest post. Printing requires 2 standard servos, 4 common 9g mini servos, and at least 5 M3-50mm screws, with additional M3x12s, 16s, 20s, and 35-40mm long screws. The chain is exactly 23 segments long, and you'll print 4 long track guides and 2 sets of C ends. Chain segments and pin plates can be printed in sets of 10 and 24, respectively. However, full instructions and code are yet to be provided; the information above is based on preliminary knowledge while waiting for the complete details. Printing took approximately 2 days.
