Only thing i have to bitch about, would be those main voltage connections. Heat shrink is kinda ok, but it does not replace wire insulation, i mean check how much thicker the original is to shrink. Those solder main joints are bit hazardous as if enough amps run trough wires will heat up and solder joints might unsolder. With out mechanical holding those can move, cause sparks and eventually fire. Solder is meant to improve connection, not replace mechanical joint in high voltage applications. Wago connector would have been thing to use or "sugar cube".. heck even shitty wire nut. Also copper was left to be seen witch is big no no (following my local codes). Still nice build and this is rather safe as its not used unattended.

@@SF45818 I can recommend it being a knive maker myself. I have read before that people had issues with the stencils but for me it works perfectly well. Gotta play around with the salt water solution a bit but for me it does the trick well now. I am using a lot of salt and keep mixing it in until no more salt dissolves. The only real issue is that you are limited when it comes to the fonts and I can't do any logos. The font "stencil" looks good to me, give it a try. Getting the right tape might be an issue as well but for me that first one I bought still works because I don't do much etching. And be supercareful when masking everything around the area you want to etch since a mistake here already gave me some nice hours of additional handsanding once. Good luck mate

@@SF45818 no sorry, I don't have that option since I am not on a computer but just use the device itself for typing. So all I can do it letters next to each other with this thing. Maybe there are better devices in the market that can do this but I sadly don't have one. It's really the budget option. Some guys on the internet offer stencil making for relatively good money like 15-30 bucks for a block of them. Maybe should give that a try and someone can send you a bunch of stencils - would be a lot cheaper than buying the brother device if you're only in need of the logo for every knife. If you want to add a serial number or something like that you could combine both solutions. Lot's of success with it. :)

Your Italian accent really came through on the "feels heavy" part. 😁 You sounded like the Italians in movies. Normally you don't have that much of accent. I just get a kick out of all the different accents people have. They are cool.

I like the tool very much. You can make it a bit safer by wiring one side of your transformer output to the protective earth pin of the mains input connector. That way if the transformer ever shorts you don't get electrocuted. I admit there's a slim chance of that ever happening, but it is a good practice unless you must have a floating output and you'd only need that if you wanted to work on some equipment while it was plugged into the mains.

@BlackBeardProjects

Thank you Vedran! Would that really work? I guess I'll try :')

@vedranlatin1386

6 жыл бұрын

Power supplies (PCs, laptops) typically have negative output tied to protective earth. If the transformer shorts and secondary winding gets connected to the mains, the differential breaker (FID, RCB, whatever it's called in Italy) in your electrical panel should sense it and kill the power immediately. If you don't have it then it's a bit more complicated - a short in small transformer will probably not be able to trip even a 6A breaker before it melts and you probably have 10A or 16A breakers for power outlets. Short will cause a lot of current to flow from mains, through the primary into the secondary and finally into your protective earth. If you're lucky, primary will melt first and you live. If secondary melts first and the mains remain connected to one of its outputs, chances are it's gonna be the output that is not earthed (as earthed one was probably drawing more current) so you might have a dangerous voltage on the output. The wall transformer you started with didn't even have protective earth plug, because normally you wouldn't be touching it's terminals so the risk was low. Your tool uses salty water on the part that you handle and that changes the risk factor a bit :)

I'd like to do a similar project but I don't own any 3D printer and my knowledge of electronics is next to zero and everytime I tried to fix something related to electronics it failed miserably! Like this one time I blew up a condo like a toxic smoke grenade and my house my full of smoke and I had to open hhe windows in the middle of winter. x) Anyway nice project, electro-etching really is appealing and beautiful!

@michedmck

3 жыл бұрын

The car battery would etch well, but is not be able to mark, or darken the etch, because of the lack of AC. But good results can be obtained nonetheless...

Could you do it all with dc (using a computer atx) or do you necessarily have to have ac and dc?

Picked up a similar transformer today with an output of 750mA, so it should work out just fine.

Hey man great work! what kind of 3d printer do you use?

I love this, and will build one based on this, but why the extra power switch? Why not have power on the single three way switch, with off being center?

Could this theoretically be used to make a hot knife? So attach both positive and negative to x-acto knife (covered to prevent shock/burn)? It’d be nice to have a two-in-one device!

Instead of salt water it will be better you use original electrolytes made for electrochemic etching that can be bought as accessory for this machines .In my opinion it's not good to use salt water as electrolyte because it makes steel epecially high carbon steel more corrosive:).
