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.

I don't often insta-subscribe before finishing a video.
Christopher is single handedly producing content and devices at industrial quality just as a prototype shop 5 people team. Gotta respect that! 👍🏻 Can't wait to see more content like this! This channel needs more support because it's beyond any other R&D related channel you can find on KZread.

@@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.
You might want to add a shield to keep the chips from getting in your plastic gears. I would also consider a different solution to hold the box in place, something with springs and/or magnets to avoid the use of two external plastic parts and a drill

You can do something like spring retention clips that have like a little triangle bit on the end. So when you push it in it snaps into place and to take it out. All you do is push in the tab

@@Haagimus I think toggle clamps would work very well, they could just pivot down into the hand holes. They are often used in workholding in small production runs.

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.
“Would you like to see more electronic designs in the videos” Yes please! It's quite amazing to witness how much you manage to combine two very interesting (and difficult IMO) skill sets into these bite-sized video updates. I'd love to also see the electronic aspects of your projects. Being more of a software guy, this domain scares me - in a good way. Keep up the nice work!
I have noticed that a lot of these channels that I've been getting in my recommendations are often not even a year old with quite a lot of subscribers and views. 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. And a common factor between them seems to be very high quality videos from the start.
Genuinely stunning work, would love to see at least the overview of the electronics.
MAN Your channel blows mind. This kind of engineering is best thing ever. Bless the gods of interweebs for allowing us to be a part of your adventures!
Your content is incredible. The more you make the better! Would love to see videos on your electrical design
Thank you so much for your content. I think I can speak for a lot of us saying that whatever content you are willing to share with us is more than appreciated because it is an absolute joy to watch

Excellent work. In many disciplines, "cheap" and "lazy" are insults - not so in engineering. It seems like you've put just the right amount of effort and robustness into the design to do the intended job - an optimal outcome!

impeccable work as usual. congratulations on the sponsorship!
The way you're explaining what you do so nonchalantly is even more mind blowing than what you do. I'm jealous of your talent, and grateful that you share what you do with everyone. Your videos are very fun to watch. Thank you
WOW!!! Outstanding design by fitting your production elements into totes. What an excellent way to create a modular design.
The designs and the clean implementations are extraordinary. Loved it
Super Design und klasse Video - vielen Dank für's Teilen Christopher!
First of all, your designs and ideas are incredible. I just cant but wonder what you did in the past and how you got so far that you got the knowledge, tools and inspiration to do what you do. Maybe a question for the Q and A :)

These are the skills of someone involved in machine building, toolmaking and jig / fixture making. Manufacturing, specifically in the German style with an Industry 4.0 / Lean Manufacturing understanding. If you watch how junior engineers are trained in Germany under people who make CNC machines for example, you can see why Chris has been given the mental tools he needs to let his innovative brain run free.

Incredible stuff, happy to hear all your thoughts on all your projects!
"I didn't want to be bothered spending time cutting boxes, so i am spending time making a machine to do it for me" :P awesome work and quite scalable
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.

Outstanding. Great job Christopher.
This is by far the cleanest DIY CNC I have seen. Good Job.
This is INCREDIBLE!! Thank you!
This has been immense inspiration for a box milling solution i also require. Thankyou.
Top Arbeit Christopher! Ich ziehe meinen Hut.
Nice work... using the special gears for rigidity was genius!
This is truly AMAZING! 👍
This is really interesting, nice to see open source automation that's on par with industry solutions
Very clean production and video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Your videos are great, really outstanding! Would love to see more of the electrical engineering side of your project!
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.
Nice, great project, very interesting!
The idea of a modular assembly/sorting process is really cool.

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."
I have always wondered what router companies didn't recess a 4th or 5th axis in the table. So cool to see you do it!

There are a few commercial ones available for a steep price. Most are mounted on the side or ends.
this is beautiful. if I ever come into the situation that I need such a solution, I now know where to look. those boxes are literally dirtcheap, the only important part is to set up the injection molding once (which isn't easy) and then it cranks out those boxes for literally material cost. and they are designed to be massively sturdy.
Continued awesomeness!
Absolutely amazing
Wow that is amazing how much work is in that, holy moly do not stop this awsome work :-) 👍👍
