Storing Machine - based on prusament spool (upcycling prusament)

prusaprinters

<p>This is what I call a Storing Maching, it's a robotic spool tower, which has a mecanism in it that open and closes the drawers via the rotation of a nema 17</p> <h3>Explanation Video :</h3> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CyQv4zdnd_I"></oembed> </figure> <p> <h3>Download Files:</h3><p><a href="https://aabe299b-32f7-404d-ae3f-bdfa00739dd6.filesusr.com/ugd/b8a828_b0ce08a7041a47378207338559715321.pdf">Assembly Guide PDF</a><br/> <a href="https://github.com/NicosMind/SpoolStorage">https://github.com/NicosMind/SpoolStorage</a></p> <h3>Purpose:</h3><p>Pressing a button help you select one of the 4 drawer, the whole tower rotates to always open the drawer facing towards you or on the side, but never in the back</p> <p>Each spool level is shifted by 90 degree to prevent two drawers to open one above the other</p> <p>The goal is to re-use a maximum of empty prusament spool</p> </p><h3>Print instructions</h3><p>It can be printed with any type of material of your choice.</p> <p>If you’ve downloaded the parts before the 21/07/2020 please re-download them I updated all the mechanism!!!</p> <p>Parts required:<br/> Screws:</p> <ul> <li>M4x20 x10</li> <li>M4x30 x2</li> <li>M4 nuts x8<br/> Printed Parts: Standard build </li> <li>Leg x4</li> <li>Base x1</li> <li>Socle x1</li> <li>Guide Socle x1</li> <li>Hexagon Key x2</li> <li>Nema Gear x1</li> <li>Spacer 12 mm x4</li> <li>Main Axel Top x1</li> <li>Main Axel Bottom x1</li> <li>PushPull Cam x1</li> <li>Drawer Slot x4</li> <li>Cam Drawer x4</li> <li>Coupling Model x1</li> <li>Entire Prusament Spool x1</li> </ul> <p>Electronic Parts:</p> <ul> <li>Nema 17 x1</li> <li>Driver A4988 x1 </li> <li>Arduino Uno (or any type of microcontroller that you want) x1</li> <li>Digital hall sensor x1</li> <li>12v power supply x1</li> </ul> <p>Only if you’ve already built the machine<br/> Printed Parts +1 level: Parts required to add one level</p> <ul> <li>Guide Socle x1</li> <li>Hexagon Key x2</li> <li>Main Axel Top x1</li> <li>Main Axel Bottom x1</li> <li>PushPull Cam x1</li> <li>Drawer Slot x4</li> <li>Cam Drawer x4</li> <li>Entire Prusament Spool x1</li> <li>M4x30 x2</li> </ul> <p>Assembly:</p> <ol> <li>Take the four legs<br/> M4x20 x8; M4 nuts x8 and insert them like in the following pictures </li> <li>Take the base</li> <li>Attach the motor</li> <li>Install the nema gear</li> <li>Hexagon key coupling system on Socle</li> <li>Socle onto the base</li> <li>Glue Socle guide to first half of Prusament spool</li> <li>Bottom Half of the spool onto the Socle </li> <li>Insert Cam mechanism lock it in place</li> <li>Cut the centre cardboard with the Coupling Guide or install the coupling part </li> <li>Cut the 2nd Half of the Prusament Spool matching the cut of the cardboard and Coupling Guide</li> <li>Install all on the machine</li> <li>Manual spinning to check if everything is done properly and doesn’t block anywhere</li> </ol>
