This is the beginning of a video series about multiple automation machines. It is called "the modular production system"
We start with modules that I build using 3d printing to count and package screws.
In each video we will go through the development.

    @@Kawka1122 I'm not that sure. I know enough engineers that will spend sh*t load of money on toolings and materials and cannot achieve the end goal of a reliable and usable product, because most likely the corporate world had removed the creativity from their heads. Not to mention that universities are starting the creativity killing process, before you get hired. I see every single day people doing the same old tasks in the same inefficient manner and they do not bother changing anything for the better, not because there are no material resources, but because they lack creativity and will as resources.

    Honestly even a sheet of paper or thin cardboard would do. I poke a hole through cardboard and put my nozzle through the hole whenever I blow chips to contain them. With the plastic being cut I doubt there is significant heat in the 'chips' so this type of guard would work.

Maybe I should start one of these just to document my builds as I love making stuff just as much as I love watching others doing the same.

    I like seeing your projects come to fruition, despite the fact that I have no possible use for such equipment and lack the required skills, know how and patience to work through a project build that you have documented. The fact that you are building cabinets from these generic plastic crates makes perfect sense as a design, and it's a cool business decision to use something so widely available and so repeatable. I wonder how many other useful products could be build around the simple plastic stacking crate.

    If you move the clamping mechanisms to the inside of the box, you could have them permanently mounted rather than having them removed and re-attached at each mounting, and if you have a long threaded rod with opposite threads on each end, you could make it so you only have to put the driver onto one end to tighten both clamps. Taking this two steps further, you could automate the driver by having a stepper motor mounted on the plate that automatically tightens the rod at the start of the process and loosens at the end of the job.

    I'm continually inspired and impressed by your thoughtful approach to design an engineering. Thank you so much for taking on the immense effort to document and share it. It is really special. A thought on gear lubrication: particularly in the area of an active CNC, chip fouling is a real concern. So while a grease lubricant (like Vaseline) is a tempting option for lubricity and safety, it might not be ideal for gear longevity or cleanliness. A dry lubricant would be preferable and I have had good luck on printed parts using synthetic waxes or even bar soap. Just a thought. I confess, I have not done a study on the subject, these lubricants have always just been "good enough."
