Happy to hear! Once I have cleaned up the file and optimized it a bit more Ill upload it. It can take a bit though so I will just keep everyone posted!
I like the new iteration. You have to push back the natural desire to "finish", and indeed convince yourself that you WANT to make improved iterations, until you finally have something that you pretty much feel can't be improved anymore. That's the cool thing about 3D printing, i.e. iterating is relatively easy to do (the modeling of course being the hard part). The idea that comes to my mind is trying the printing with different printing technology and/or different materials, i.e. carbon fiber nylon or something. But that would compete with the idea of being easy for the average hobbyist to have the equipment to do it so maybe not such a good direction to take. Too bad you're not continuing the project. But your ideas hopefully inspire someone else to continue with it in a new direction. That's the beauty of open source - having multiple brains and ideas contribute to something. I ordered some electronics and a motor to use for building a motor drive system that will oscillate the washing back & forth. I don't know if I'll have time to do much else, but we'll see. Anyways, it's been fun seeing what you've done here. Good luck with your future endeavors.
Thanks alot! Yeah, its always so many small impovements which add up on development and print time! Its crazy how many time I moved a hole a milimeter more to the centre or away, or increased the wall thickness by .2 because I wasnt happy with how it turned out! More advanced printing of course would be dope! I also a bit sad but one day I willl probably finish it all! Real life sadly takes precidence :( Good luck with the oscillating system! That definetly is a cool feature!
Hi ! Great project ! I am currently working on a similar thing and I am wondering what would be the best choice for the mesh wafers. Where have you found the wafers you are using in these baskets ? I am a bit unsure about which size to use. I was originally aiming for a size 30 (around 1mm holes) but I can't find it in wafers like yours. Coffee filters are available as wafers but I am afraid the mesh would be too fine this time (around 0.2mm holes). Any feedback on which mesh size to use and/or keywords to find the same mesh wafers as you are using ? Thank you a lot !
Hi! Cool that someone is trying to make something similar! I also had similar thoughts to the hole sizes! I think I posted a link to these wafers either in these videos, on reddit or somewhere else! I think that these wafers ended up being some sort of industrial filters. But I also looked into the direction of fishing equipment, seeve meshes, etc... I did also see someone fully print the mesh pattern into the basekt walls, maybe that also an option for you?
So cool! Love what you are doing. Would be great to see if you can complete this when the timing is better for you. Your project would be a welcome addition to my workshop! Good luck with this and any other projects good sir. Cheers!
Hi Ray! Good suggestion! However I did already develop a variant with metal pins. However the assembly was highly unreliable and tge whole build was just very unrealiable in general so I chucked it ! However, maybe I will revisit that version and somehow manage to optimize it haha
@@Berlintime030 it is a shame that the structure of this, a very well engineered piece, would not hold up to practical application. Whenever one designs a piece, there is most always some doubt in the back of the mind that it will not survive repeated use in the real world. Like the others here, I really favor your design. Whatever the shortcomings of the finished product, I hope you are able to resurrect it someday and bring it to full fruition. Regards
It probably would. For the final version I'm hoping to make the design universally compatible. You would just have to change the height or diameter of the build!
Haha thanks for the great compliment! I do not plan on selling these, there is just alot of testing and development which needs to be done, for which I sadly dont have the time at the moment. But who knows, maybe some day!
Love the video love the design I’ve been designing and making a watch cleaning machine as well through the hobbiest version of fusion 360 if you would like the files I would be happy to share them just wa warning tho they may still have some changes as I continue the process I wish you the best in your ventures and hope you get over your burn out
Thanks for your comment! You can gladly share your ideas with me and I would be glad to give me opinion on them too! You can reach me through my Channel Email. And thanks alot for the wishes, I appreciate them!
Great job and a big step forward from version 1
Thanks alot! I think so too, definetly a big improvement :)
Cant wait to see the rest of the project as I would love to create one of these myself. Can you share the .stl's and the source for the mesh you used?
that would be awesome! i agree :D
Happy to hear! Once I have cleaned up the file and optimized it a bit more Ill upload it. It can take a bit though so I will just keep everyone posted!
Nice. Please continue with the project.
Will do!
That looks very impressive and professional! Good job.
Thanks alot! I'm really happy to hear that :)
So cool!
Hehe thanks ^^
this is amazing! i love the design and i printed prototype 1, definitely wanna try prototype 2
Thanks alot! Once I finish up the designs I will probably upload them all for you!
@@Berlintime030 that'd be great! thanks for your kindness!

Great video
Thanks alot!
May i suggest you replace the 3D printed pins instead with a a receptacle where a brass pin can be driven into each hole?

@@tropicalspeed Thanks alot for your confidence! I'll do my best :)
I wonder if a set of those would fit in my Watch Master?
It probably would. For the final version I'm hoping to make the design universally compatible. You would just have to change the height or diameter of the build!
@@Berlintime030 and buy a 3d printer, lol!
Looks amazing! Are you going to sell them?
Haha thanks for the great compliment! I do not plan on selling these, there is just alot of testing and development which needs to be done, for which I sadly dont have the time at the moment. But who knows, maybe some day!
STL plssssssss. Great Job man!!!
I'll probably upload them once I have cleaned up and optimized the files. Thanks alot :)
@@Berlintime030 Can you upload the files, want to give this a try myself to replace my basket.

Hello - any chance you could share the 3D printing file for this version with the mesh sides?? Looks ideal. Thanks :)
Hi there! Im am still keeping it for another video once I hopefully manage to optimize the design and everything! Just keep your eyes out.
