Another idea; to save some cost in favor of preparation speed might be using just one pump and distribute the ingredients through the tubes with valves.
Cool project. Just a tip, pre drill your holes in the timber, you have a pillar drill. Perfect nails, no splits and you control where the nail goes. Same as electronics, provide a path of least resistance and the nail will follow Good Job on the electronics 🙏
End of party: You find someone you don't even know passed out in your washing machine with an empty glass. ...out cold with shoes on?...break out the sharpies Picasso!!!
Thanks great scott, long time viewer but I'm not a great person writing comments, I appreciate so much you take the time to still make videos. Happy Holidays
AvE's been talking about building a bartending robot for years, and you've just smashed one out in a 10 minute video. I suppose with him it's more about the journey than the destination. Love your work sir.
lul, thank you dude. I've been searching for an pcb manufacturer for at least a few weeks now. My goal was not to pay more than 70$ for 5pc. Now I payed 2$, for 10pc. With DHL Express. Awesome! :D
A very nice project, as always. The only part that doesn't looks very good (for me) are the three tubes hanging there, i would recommend you to get a bigger black tube and put the three tubes into there, thus it will look better. Keep working, you are awesome!
Would it be worth reversing the pumps for a few seconds after it finishes to clean out the hoses? That might keep the plate clean and make cleanup easier later. It would also make switching to other drinks easier. It's not a screwdriver with cranberry juice!
We require you to subscribe to five monthly deliveries of ten packets of QR-tagged orange juice, so we can guarantee our quality standards and bring you the best experience.
This is an interesting project and I liked your design, thank you for these amazing videos. One idea to add variety to your drinks is to use solenoid valves to control from where the pumps are sucking, this way you wouldn't need as many pumps and the valves are definitely cheaper. Edit: Thinking again, maybe using the valves wouldn't be such a good idea for food safety.
That is awesome, i wonder if with 3D printed parts for the case and a little bit more of engineering to account for the vibration so more structure would give a better stability, and a SD Card reader to read "recipe files" would render in a awesome machine. Nice job, i would like the video 10 times if i could.
You could even use some Peltiers and cool the drinks to temperature, that would be cool, and with a bit of code you could easily compute the alcohol percentage and volume in a said mixture of drinks :)
I'm so going to build this and connect this to home assistant to use our smarthome as a web interface. By doing it this way I can also automate the cocktails when I'm done working in friday and entering the door.
I'm not the most experienced wood worker in the world. But I would like to give u a tip on keeping the wood from blowing out like you have around the tubes. First, drill nice and slow. Second, but a piece of scrap wood under the piece you want drill. It should keep the good piece from blowing out. Love you work!
Thank you. Very interesting demo with professional work. Different constituents can be placed at top and gravity fed into the bottom container. The flow of different constituents can be changed automatically using solenoid valves placed in the discharge line of upper tanks.The load cell can weigh cumulatively and stop in the end.
That moment when I realized how dumb I really am lol ... Wow dude... U are super smart. U did that!!! I love it. U should sell it for people like me who would have to watch it 10k times just to get thru part 1 nice job!!!
Hey GreatScott! I have a project idea for you: Modify a PSU to be constant current source. I think if you remove the feedback from the output and add a small resistor(current shunt?) to the low side, it could provide a feedback. This should be amplified to the appropriate level and voila CC PSU. I didn't think this through, but I think this could be done, with your knowledge. Would be useful to drive leds, even many in series, since the voltage could go above 12V. What do you think? Cheers
Hey man. You got to apply the solder to the pins as you're heating with the iron. When you put the solder on the tip first, the flux burns away and you get a cold joint. Love the videos!!
My uncle also made one a while ago that works with Apple Homekit/Siri and another app for android. Has a compartment for 50 red cups, 10 bottles of liquor and 10 bottles for soda/juices. Might make one of those as well in the future.
He could, but I don't think it would work as well as it does with the timer. The problem here is that the load cell produces a low signal that is susceptible to noise, in order to read a stable signal you must use some form of filtering, which will decrease the response time of the load cell, so he wouldn't be able to measure the amount of liquid poured in real time.
Suggestion: When you drill into wood, Drill from the hidden side and also have another wood piece under the piece you are drilling. That way when material is pulled up the hidden side will have ugly sides(Because of wood pulled up) and the good side will have a nice hole because the wood piece it is against will prevent sides from separating on the sides. If you need both sides pretty, then sandwich the piece you are drilling between two other wood pieces and then drill.
it might be possible to measure the liquid on a other way. you might be able to measure the current of the water going through, because it is moveing electrodes it should produle a voltage !! can you do a vid on that ?
I'm not sure what you're referring to, but you can't use the electrical current flowing through a liquid to measure the flow rate. To do that would require either a turbine in the pipe or something else that can be measured electronically which is not practical on this scale
Algorhythm no, you can do it. It is called magnetic flow meter. Or mag meter. It requires a conductive liquid. The problem here is that it requires a known conductivity on the liquids. Which would mean recalibration after each new liquid is used.
I think instead of recording pumping periods and adjusting poured material's volume accordingly, knowing the densities of the liquids and adjusting the poured amount making use of the strain gauge sensor would be wiser. However, you have done a great job and congratulations for that. I hope you continue making such videos.
I have found someone online who has made a cnc machine and is willing to help me build ,my own. Here is a link to in depth posting about making a cnc machine using a rasberry pi . . I will be usng windows pc with a parell port to build mine. www.instructables.com/id/Raspberry-Pi-Alamode-CNC-Controller/
Kartikey Agarwal He used food safe silicone tubes plus no mechanical parts come in direct contact with the liquids, the pumps simply press and push the liquid forward in the tubes
I've seen a pump like this in a bubble machine, and was surprised by the ingeniosity they used for a simple pump. It seems simple, but I would never have thought of that way.
Can you make a CNC machine that makes a 3D printer that makes a CNC machine that makes a 3D printer that makes a CNC machine that makes a 3D printer that makes a CNC machine?
I saw a group of 4th year engineering students did a similar project to this for their capstone project. Cool! Theirs worked a bit differently in that I think all tubes could run at the same time, no weight sensor. They also added an auto cup dispenser and conveyor for coolness factor.
When you drill holes, remember to put a piece of scrap wood behind what ever you are drilling(this prevents the chipping). Also never use nails, they make things look cheap and never look nice, alternatively you could of done dowel joints, which is quite easy to do. I recommend that you get a laser cutter, as they are really useful for my electronics projects, and if you know how to make boxes via 2D CAD software, you can do the casing for that project in a matter of 45 minutes.
Excellent video as always. I still like the more ingeneus and usefull projects more. A cocktail maker already exists and is not something someone MUST get.
I have a plan to make these cocktail machines in this way but with a vinyl wrap inside and outside. The pump motor inside the case, The LCD Display, The rotary encorder, The Arduino Nano, The pump motor driver, The Scale, the DC jack all connections will be connected through a designed PCB and order it from JLCPCB and with a on/off switch. The Rest of the Pump pipes will be in a professional look. I hope you make like this cocktail machine in a future video
A few things I’d do is redesign the whole thing and design it like this: 1. Find or make some sealed dispenser bins (something like 3” wide, 9” deep and 10” tall or something the size of the dispenser area would be that’ll hold like a half to full bottle of Bacardi, etc) sloped to the center for the tube connection, that has a sealed, but removable lid for filling/cleaning. This would prevent fruit flies, etc and can be left filled. 2. Have 4 or 6 on each side of the dispenser part (in the middle) that way you can have one for jack, Bacardi, crown royal, bourbon, triple sec, etc. I’d put a thin black piece of material between each bin with a light smoke front panel in front of all of them and put a white led light above each one. When a drink is selected that uses Bacardi (for example) the light above the Bacardi would light up and you can see it through the front panel. So the ingredients being used lights up. 3. Have a flip up lid over the ingredients bins for filling etc. 4. Have more drink recipes, and include a multi line lcd panel for instructions. For example for a margarita, when selected it would say something like place a shaker filled with ice in the dispenser area, then after it dispenses it would tell you to shake and strain, or place in a blender and pulse, etc. 5. A sensor to detect a glass, etc is in the dispenser area to prevent dispensing without one. 6. Move the electronics into a false back that’s covered to keep them from getting wet, and replace it with a pull out drip tray under the dispenser for spills, over dispensing, etc. 7. Have a selection for size of glass, example for a Long Island iced tea, you can tell it that your using a 6 oz glass and it’ll adjust the portions for that size glass, or using a 12 oz glass, it’d adjust for that. 8. Keep the multi color led lights for the dispenser area. 9. Make a port where you can plug in a computer for servicing/updates via a usb cable, etc to make it easier for updates, etc if needed instead of pulling off the back, etc. 10. Glue the black plastic sheets you used on rather than screwing them on and maybe use a silver metal corner piece to put over the corners. 11. Put rubber feet on the bottom to protect the surface you put the automatic bartender on. 12. An option of selecting drink strength from no alcohol, little, moderate to strong... depending on the persons taste. Just a few things I thought of to take the concept to the next level. Oh and of course google Home/Alexa integration.
Another commenter below brought up the idea, but how about using this type of design as an automatic mixer of paints to create different colors? Perhaps even make a sensor so as to copy samples? I do restorations of coin operated video games as a hobby and such a device would be a dream come true for me and other restorers!
The good feature of a Peristaltic pump is that the motor don’t touch the liquid which is good because if you are going to digest the liquid you don’t get killed by toxics.
Can i have a Martini?
Yeah just let me update the arduino code.
PHPO Labs lmao
Lol
you could probably make a menu with drinks and list. just be sure to change to the right fluids
add wifi chip, write simple app so the user can select the drink via smartphone
Gets you all the girls ;)
A suggested upgrade: after dispensing each ingredient, run the pump in reverse for a few seconds, to empty the portion remaining in the tube.
Another idea; to save some cost in favor of preparation speed might be using just one pump and distribute the ingredients through the tubes with valves.
Cool project.
Just a tip, pre drill your holes in the timber, you have a pillar drill. Perfect nails, no splits and you control where the nail goes. Same as electronics, provide a path of least resistance and the nail will follow
Good Job on the electronics 🙏
I will remember it for next time.
GreatScott! No need for nails. Just use glue between the surfaces and clamp them together.
I really like the fact that even though you have a CNC, you don't use it for most of your projects so simple people like me can also build them.
The moment when you make drinks on party and everybody is like: Who turned on the washing machine?
End of party:
You find someone you don't even know passed out in your washing machine with an empty glass.

I feel that the quantity and quality of videos can only go downhill from here, after creating such a practical and useful machine.
When you gotta a practical exam tomorrow but Scott Uploads
Wake up to a greatscott video with alcohol... great morning so far
All ways love it why my phone buzzes and I see you have put up a new video !! Thanks for another great video :)
You're welcome :-)
What I find particularly funny is how the whole thing jiggles and rattles around when the pumps spin - that alone would make me wanna buy it :))))

Can you make a Version 2 that is 3D printed?
I can put it on my to do list
Exactly my thoughts. Great and creative work Scott. You are the master
Very impractical for it to be 3D printed
Why not? Just print small parts that snap / screw together like a keurig.
Yeah 3D printing a cocktail does not seem practical at all

Finally, an Arduino project that has usefulness!!! 😁
A very nice project, as always. The only part that doesn't looks very good (for me) are the three tubes hanging there, i would recommend you to get a bigger black tube and put the three tubes into there, thus it will look better.
Keep working, you are awesome!
Thanks mate. Sounds like a good idea.
GreatScott! Or 3D print a 3 to 1 adapter!
Who fucking dislike this project? I think GreatScott work very hard to write this machine code. Cheer up GreatScott.
If you re drilling holes in wood it s good to put another piece of wood under it to get a nicer hole
Hail Half life !!
That's what he said

Would it be worth reversing the pumps for a few seconds after it finishes to clean out the hoses? That might keep the plate clean and make cleanup easier later.
It would also make switching to other drinks easier. It's not a screwdriver with cranberry juice!
That could cause problems if the pumps need primed.
I dont think this type of pump needs to be primed, looks like it should be air-tight. but then again I haven't used them.
this is the first project video I understood completely...
Woodworker's worst nightmare
12458 SSE you totally read my mind
Couldn't even pound a nail straight

Wood glue, and a little joinery technique would eliminate the need for nails and screws.
I guess all that electronics genius is taking up too much brain bandwidth to leave room for woodworking skills =\

Did you get the idea for the peristaltic Pump from William Osman?
Since I do not know who that is, no.

Hey GreatScott!
I have a project idea for you: Modify a PSU to be constant current source.
I think if you remove the feedback from the output and add a small resistor(current shunt?) to the low side, it could provide a feedback. This should be amplified to the appropriate level and voila CC PSU.
I didn't think this through, but I think this could be done, with your knowledge.
Would be useful to drive leds, even many in series, since the voltage could go above 12V.

Hmmmmm I put it on my to do list.
Hey man. You got to apply the solder to the pins as you're heating with the iron. When you put the solder on the tip first, the flux burns away and you get a cold joint.
Love the videos!!
You should make a more polished version of it!
When I got more time and there is enough interest from viewers, then sure.
I'm glad he shared it as is,I laughed my ass off at how he highlighted his mistakes.It made for a better video in my opinion.
My uncle also made one a while ago that works with Apple Homekit/Siri and another app for android. Has a compartment for 50 red cups, 10 bottles of liquor and 10 bottles for soda/juices.
Might make one of those as well in the future.
instead of using a timer you could have used the strain gauge measure the weight?
He could, but I don't think it would work as well as it does with the timer.

Amazing woodworking oh well it worked anyway now who wants a drink
how safe is it to move liquid from a pump like that, since you will drink it
Very as you see he replaced it with food safe silicone tube.
Kartikey Agarwal He used food safe silicone tubes plus no mechanical parts come in direct contact with the liquids, the pumps simply press and push the liquid forward in the tubes
Correct, like already stated very safe due to the food safe tube.
If the tube is food grade it should be completely safe, as the liquid doesn't get in contact with anything else.
Very. Peristaltic pumps are used in hospitals for this reason. No mechanical parts come into contact with what is being pumped.
I've seen a pump like this in a bubble machine, and was surprised by the ingeniosity they used for a simple pump.
It seems simple, but I would never have thought of that way.
