Multi Purpose Rotary Table from Washing Machine - Muller, 360 Photography, Rotary Welding Table

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In this video we are upcycling an old washing machine and making a multi purpose rotary machine that can do green sand mulling, rotary welding, 360 degree photography, and act as a potters wheel.
The machine we make uses an Arduino PID closed loop motor control system to govern the speed of the universal washing machine motor. You can watch the video on that specifically here: • How to reuse Washing M...
In this part we mainly focus on the frame of the machine and making a rotating table. We use the old washing machine bearings and spider but mount them on top. A laminated scrap plywood platter is made to act as the rotary table.
In other videos in this series we will add the control panel and closed loop Arduino speed system, a microwave timer, the sand bucket and ploughs to make the green sand muller.
The rotary recording table for 360 degree photography will require slow consistent speed and a plane white backdrop.
To make it work as a Rotary welding table we will have to add a metal plate and an earthing slip ring (not sure on the details of how I will do this - any tips welcome).
Here's Luckygen1001's video on about the green sand mixer I mentioned: • Sand mixer and mixing ...

Nicd. I've been saving my old washing machine for a while. I knew there was a reason.
love the slo-mo lathe shot!
Nice build, well done. Your rusty angle iron was a bed at one time!
Thanks! 👍
Like the use of the metal frame... you rarely see that being upchcled...
Nice video
Fun Fact: Washing machine spider arms are designed to corrode and fail, they are the reason modern washing machines need replacing about 5-8 years. Most of the other parts are good for at least 4 times the cycles as the spider. The spider is also the part hardest to find and most expensive.
Good evening Mr berger. Dark, interesting and easily believable! Thanks for watching :)
@@FloweringElbow Planned Obsolescence (PO) isnt a new idea.
New to your channel and enjoy the vids! As for the Dremel snobs; PHFFT! Tell them to "STF-up and eat your omelet. Busy breaking eggs here". I made an airlift out of an old semi-truck air adjustable seat (to work on my motorcycles). would have been scrap otherwise.
Hey Kelvin, thanks man, and welcome :)
hey, another idea, you could perhaps adapt your rotary tool for telescope mirror grinding.
Ha, hadn't thought of that one! Cool idea.
Friends! I just uploaded the next instalment of this machine build. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/p-2vvsnPRVs/видео.html and now also a whole video on the subject of reusing the washing machine motors: ruclips.net/video/xI6CF2nYf_g/видео.html
Not suggesting you do so however many self sufficiency channels use an old washing machine as a water turbine and produce electricity for their off grid systems.
Yeah, it would be a cool little project. Nearest stream to the house is quite a distance (3/4mile). Thanks for watching.
Waiting for speed controller, what you used?
I used an Arduino running PID code to trigger an optoisolated triac.
If I was doing it again I wouldn't go so complicated and would do a simple AC diac - triac circuit... I will probably end up doing a whole video on the speed control - it's a big subject.
@@FloweringElbow Looking forward to that topic! Thank you!
Hi Rocco, just uploaded the speed control vid. I haven't made a video like this before and I would love your feedback on it. ruclips.net/video/xI6CF2nYf_g/видео.html
0:38 this is my washing machine
Why couldn't you have lined the washer drum with sheet metal and used it as the sand drum?
Nice idea, I did consider it, but I remember thinking the sand might stick to the outsides and/or be too heavy to get moving...?
Do you have f&p washers or anything similar over there?
Hi Tom, apparently we do, but never heard of them before, not a regular brand.
@@FloweringElbow oh I thought you'd have heard of them.... Maybe you have but not aware of the name. They have giant stepper motors! No gearbox or pulleys. Direct drive.
I have some motors from washing machine that I could save in time, can you explain please how to use the motor with PC power supply? Please :)
Hi Eljon, have you watched the next video in the series - about controlling the series wound motor ? ruclips.net/video/xI6CF2nYf_g/видео.html
You can make a 240V washer motor turn with a 12v PC power but it will never have much power...
Great project man...Thanks for sharing...;-p
u r totally nuts man, like. :D ahhahah

Hey friends! I have finished this off as a green sand muller and 360 photography machine (I just need to edit the video), but haven't finished the welding rotary table part yet. If any of you have tips on converting this to be used as such I would love to here them. Especially I could do with some ideas on how to get the welder's earth onto the rotating table, using something cheap or free. Thanks for watching. Peace, Bongo.
Metal work surface, steel, with copper pipe rubbing along edge that has ground wire attached? Depending on how thick work surface is copper pipe could be rubbing on edge or flat top..
That sound a nice simple solution. And there was me thinking about ways I could reuse a bunch of the carbon brushes or make complicated slip ring arrangements...
@@FloweringElbow My warped little brain had been heading in the same direction but I then realized just how slow it would actually be turning.....
you are pretty inventive. I would have never thought of that at all. And I was admiring your shop, It looks good. Thank you for sharing with us
Hi mate ! You are doing an amazing work ! I subscribed of course !
The can shaking machine is a good idea in fact ! ;)
I made a paint tin shaker from an old gate hinge that I could attach a drill to. There are plenty of peoples take on them on RUclips. Looking forward to episode two.
Is there a reason that a dryer couldn't be used instead of a washer? They run at a constant speed and if that speed wasn't what was need a different size pulley could be used.
Hey Brad. Good question, I see no reason that couldn't be made to work...
I like how you reuse the cabinet. Instead of relocating the drive from the back to the top, could one just lay the cabinet on its back and mount the round wooden base to the drum? Alternatively, lay the cabinet face down and mount the wooden base to the spider to avoid the wobbling drum?
Hey Blackwoods, a really interesting idea friend. I didn't think of it that way. Thanks for getting in touch. :)
Great videos, I'm surprised on how you only get 5k views on this...Thanks for sharing and keep it up!
Good day Marcodsv. Thanks for the encouragement friend, hope you found something in there useful :)
@@FloweringElbow indeed I did, in several of your videos! Keep it up!
