Watch cleaning baskets & holder [Prototype 1]

thingiverse

Hello everyone! In light of me starting to develop my own rotating watch cleaning maschine I would like to share my designs of my first watch basket and holder prototype. Now this version sadly does not have a meshed wall but that will be prototype 2! Of course you all are welcome to use these files to work on your own versions! I put in the ipt. files aswell! Im not sure if they all are the right version since I had so many tests so please check the measurements before changing the construction! Otherwise im alwazs open for suggestions, comments and criticism! Hope it helps you! Print setting: Supports---> I only printed the holder with support. Its not a must however! The Holder. ( Printed with the hooks up) The Holder interacts with the lid to for a closed object which you can snap open and closed. It has two holes on the bottom so that the lower baskets feet can snap into place and create stability and tension The Baskets. ( Printed with the pins up) Have a metal mesh wafer placed into the build during the print. Just put in a Pause at the highest possible side wall height and then press it into place before resuming the printing process. The mesh is 40 Mesh and has a height of around 1.8/9 and a diameter of 51 mm. The basket walls have two inbuilt holes for the pins of the basket above it and can have a variable amount of slide in slots for the apropriate wall separations. The Lid (printed with the center circle down) Interacts with the holder to hold the baskets together. Has no pins which can lock into the lower basket but has a smaller inner wall which stopps any parts from potentially escaping. The centre circle which is supported by the beams would be a place to connect the motor drive shaft. The Wall seperators ( print direction did not really matter) Can be pressed into the slide slots in the basket to make different compartments in the basket.
