A+ for using your 3D printer to make something useful instead of another benchy. I'm still working on incorporating mine into my workflow. My CAD skills still need a lot of work but I'm trying.
Right? I have a few videos coming up soon that use a lot of 3d printed components. There is a time and place for 3d printed parts for sure. I use it a LOT for prototyping, but sometimes the parts end up in the final designs as well.
Does anyone have a preference for a grinder stand? Thinking about a 4” schedule 40 tube and plate to a large heavy diesel truck brake drum. Is there a alternate concept that would remain mobile to move it around and steady with readily avalible “cheap” part out there to construct a grinder base stand from?
Is there a reason you didn't use one power supply and have the two switches downstream from a branch in the wires going to the LEDs? This is not any kind of a criticism but a question regarding loading of those constant current supplies.
I didn't think of that! But that probably would have worked. The power supplies were $7-8 each, so I just got two of them. But I could have wired it up like you said.
What filament are u using for the case. And could you wire this in to the power of the grinder. I am looking forward to making this. Totally off topic I am looking for a place to find a way to steer a robot that’s the size of a power wheel toy. Any help would be awesome. Thanks
I'm using Prusament Galaxy Black, my go-to for finished projects in black. The speckling hides layer lines and looks really nice. I did think about wiring it directly into the grinder, but that was some extra work and I didn't want to mess with opening up the grinder, but I still could for sure. Steering a robot? Use the existing steering mechanism would be my first choice. There are many options though, it just depends on what you're trying to do.
Sorry for not being clear. The LED driver leads have a plug which connects to the string of LEDs. What is the plug called and how is it affixed to the wires?

As always a professional DIY project! Now of course, it has given me a few ideas for other projects.
Nice set up!

You need to put some sort of cover over the leds, they will build up deposits from whatever you are grinding, the cover will be easier to clean
Not a bad idea, I'll see how it goes. I could even just put on some clear packing tape and replace it when it gets nasty.

Are you worried about the heat generated from the bench grinder?
Not at all, my bench grinder runs pretty cool. I don't think it's ever gotten much beyond just slightly warm.

What is the name of the micro connectors that you used? Not the Wago connectors. Do they crimp on?
I'm not sure which ones you're talking about?

@@davidpgh1501 Ah. I believe those are called JST SH connectors. You can buy them with pigtail leads on them and solder the ends.
I snap my fingers like at 3:16, but my project didn't magically assemble itself. What am I doing wrong?
You need at least 1K subs for it to work.
@@RobertCowanDIY damn...
Check out Mr. Europe over here using wagos
I was surprised as well.
Finally a youtuber that doesn't want to burn his shop down.
Eh, the wiring is still slightly questionable, but mostly safe ;-)
