DIY cupcake machine (Arduino cooking robot)

Ғылым және технология

I have built the DIY machine (robot) which makes delicious cupcakes. Everything is controlled with Arduino. The two stepper motors are responsible for moving cupcake from dough station to the cooking station (microwave oven) to the topping station. At first the machine was not working properly, but I managed to adjust everything to make it work.

    I experimented with 3D printing peanut butter on my channel and what I learned was that the syringe has to be filled up with absolutely no air bubbles. Since air is much more compressible than water, the compression to extrude from the syringe will cause it to leak afterwards. Retracting the plunger of the syringe after extruding also helped against leakage. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays! 😊

    If the compressibility of the syringe contents is variable, maybe a force sensor is required along with some control software to be confident that the proper amount is extruded. In the 3d printing world, the term "linear advance" refers to compensation for static (non-variable) nonlinear extrusion volume, and it seems to work well for most people who bother setting it up, but I suspect they find their linear advance settings aren't as good if they change materials or other operating parametera.

    Another way of evening out the energy some microwave ovens use is by pointing the magnatron at a metal fan. That might help since you have such a small cooking chamber. You might also add a cooling fan station before the toppings.

Is there any chance you could make a video that really walks through the setup, further than the OdriveArduinoTest? Such as not only how to send commands for position, velocity, current but also how to read information such as encoder position, voltage, amperage, etc? Love your content and I am so glad you are doing this full-time and showing us more!

    Definitely your most worthwhile endeavor so far! :)) With some fine tuning it's going to be a beast of a machine! May I suggest that you reverse the feed on all 3 tubes after dispensing each material. That may help with the dripping of unwanted material on the machine. Also pick a batter mix without chunks. Your next thing should be a cake decorating machine. There are already some out there, but once you master this task, you can combine it to create even more beautiful cupcakes! Great stuff. Every geeks dream to combine tech and junk food. Yumm! Maybe you could insert the cream topping dispenser down INTO the cupcake and make one like I used to buy at the store with cream filling!

    You should retract the plunger on the toppings to create negative pressure. Also adding a fan to cool the cupcake will help the toppings not melt. The microwave leakage could be from the hole for the motor under the cup. A normal microwave has another sheet of metal which yours lacks. The simple solution would be fixing a screen around the entire machine to keep people from getting their hands caught in the conveyor as well and that way you can shield the waves making it out of the microwave.

НО, всё оборудование пищевой промышленности должно свободно мыться, т.е. быть как минимум брызгозащищенным. Скорее всего для этого электроника должна быть в отдельном шкафу, а весь привод жен быть гидравлическим или хорошо изолирован от влаги. К сожалению очень непросто в такой схеме добиться влагозащиты. А идея прикольная и даже работает. Поздравляю!

For liquid topings you might use something like the "soda fountain machine" from the channel "the q". I guess their machine is not good solution for soda (because of the CO2-gas from the soda will push the soda out) but for your topings it should be a clean solution.

    3D printers have the same problem of dropping down unwanted material. They (try to) solve this by pulling back the material for maybe 4mm. So you might try to pull back the "pistons" for just a few millimeters after each usage by 2 or 3 or 4mm maybe. For the next cupcake you need to push the material by these extra millmeters down. But it is difficult with such liquid materials like the ones you need. You would need some tweaking and it might not really help. Maybe you get an air pocket on top between your "material" and the "piston"... Well, you could try it. If it helps, it's great. If it makes things worse, sorry, don't use it again. ... But the microwave is the really scary part of that machine... try at least to fix the microwave leakage, maybe it is in the ventilation holes, maybe at some other gap.
