Rotational Casting Machine

thingiverse

This is a rotational casting machine I designed so that I could print a mold and create hollow copies of the object in that mold with resin. It works flawlessly and there are 2 different versions you can download here. One is fully automatic and requires a motor, controller, and power supply. If you don't want to go with power there's also a manual option with a hand crank. If you want power don't print the STLs ending in MANUAL. The same goes for if you want the hand crank don't print the STLs ending in POWER. Here is the list of additional parts you'll need. 16 - 5/16 x 1-1/8 inch fender washers 1 - 520 width, 6mm belt pitch, 2mm teeth, 260 for motor belt 6 - 608 bearings (MANUAL VERSION requires one more to seven) 2 - M8 x 40mm 2 - M8 x 50mm (MANUAL VERSION requires one more to three) 4 - M8 nuts (MANUAL VERSION requires one more to five) 8 - rubber bands 4 - M3 x 10mm (POWER VERSION requires ten more to fourteen) Additional parts for the POWER VERSION ONLY: 1 - aluminum mounting hub for 6mm shaft 5 - M3 x 14mm (for mounting hub to motor) 1 - DC 12V worm gear motor, 6mm shaft, high torque turbine reducer (I used 11RPM; I highly recommend getting a fast motor): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WP5DCJF/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 - 12V LED power supply with female barrel connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GD4ZQRS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 - 12v 2A 30W DC motor speed controller, adjustable driver switch: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QGMESHM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMqknPVKbt4&feature=youtu.be Enjoy!
