Well Kyle I have to say that is designed very very well. I think you have nailed the perfect prospecting tool that wont be a struggle to pack into tbose far away places. Well done my friend.
dude this thing is incredible. It is so incredible that you are willing to share your creation with everyone to download. A fair price as well! dude you are so smart. im going to have to print this on our industrial printer at work. Im about to use this to collect gold and sell paydirt bags. thank you so much. I love making paydirt bags but collecting gold is so hard! this technology will make a world of difference. God bless!!!
I may be able to arrange a demonstration video if I wind up visiting Seattle in a few weeks... Fingers crossed! Otherwise, hopefully we can get some user videos soon!
🇨🇦 Good evening,,,glad that you are back in Canada,,,and right next door to me ,,,thanks for the part numbers for hose ,,,,I have seen suction hose wore thin from the inside but it takes a lot of use to do that,,, they develop multiple pin holes and hairline cracks ,,,I do have a few hibanker modification idea's if you ever get out to the Caribou area and have time to sit down for coffee and chat,,,
I'm not sure if I'll be through your neck of the woods during this visit. If I wind up in the area between now and when I fly back to oz, I'd definitely be up for a chat! Would be awesome to hear all about your adventures!
@UtmostOutdoors Good evening,,,I will send you my contact info in a reply to the messages we exchanged for my purchase of the program for the 3d infinity dredge If you don't get a chance to stop by Have a safe trip back to OZ
For the riffle part of the sluice I think it would be best to have each riffle slightly different. Freddy dodge talks a lot about this in the Mine Rescue series.
I imagine the stock cage is reasonably durable if you just drag it and don't drop it... I'll be working on a brushless system next year and will have to make sure it's pretty durable!
The more flexible hose is easier to use, but the trade off is it's more likely to have rock jams. I use the tigerflex BW which has twice the bend radius of the WH/SH.
I believe so. I just googled the Ender 3 V3 has a build volume of 220x220 by 250 tall. To print this the longest part printed flat is 215mm and the tallest part is 249mm. So it would be tight, but should work. It will take a while of course. I have only ever used my Bambu Labs P1S, but I hope the build volume is helpful for you at least. I print with 0.16mm layer lines to make the threads come out nicely.
I’ve been trying to think of the best way to dredge the bottom of my 24’ deep well. I want to get the sand and gravel out. It’s a 4” pvc pipe. I have a 4000psi 4gpm pressure washer and thought about using it to make a sludge sucker which is very similar to a dredge with a water pump. I don’t really know which would be better. I can fill the water to the top of the pipe and recirculate it back in it so it won’t have to lift water hardly at all. I also thought about trying an air lift but I don’t think my little 5g air compressor is up to the task. I also have a bilge pump for sucking water out of the pond. I don’t know the gpm of that off hand. It’s likely more than those little ones you’ve shown as it is larger. It’s at least 9gpm. What do you think would be the most effective for this task. I could also buy a small gas power trash pump if you think that would be best. I mostly understand the concept of how to set it up. I just don’t know which method would be better. If could point me in the right direction I’ll do more research on that method myself. Thanks.
Hum... I'm assuming the material you need to get out is fairly small in size... If it's compacted at all, the pressure washer could be used to loosen everything up by using a pipe jetting tip. (search sewer jetter) Then if the well was completely filled to the brim with water, and you ran the jetter tip down inside a length of say 1" or 1.5" pipe, you may actually have yourself a nice dredge setup that can just blast everything up the center pipe. You would just need to make sure the water in the annulus stays topped up or as the outer water drops, the head pressure needed would increase. Could maybe cut a 4" hole in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket to keep the well topped up, and put a 90 degree fitting at the top of your 1.5" pipe with the sewer jetter set near the bottom... Alternately you could fill the well to the brim again, and send down a suction hose to the bottom of the well. You could run the hose into a wet/dry vac and it my suck up some stuff, or glue a bilge pump to the lid of a 5 gallon bucket and run the suction hose in next to the pump. If you completely filled the system with water before starting the pump, it would in theory suck up water through the tube down in the well, into the bucket, where the heavies would settle out, and then the excess water would just go back to refill the well which would need to be kept full during this. empty the bucket as it gets full of sediment until the job is done. I would try the pressure washer jetting tip inside the suction pipe first as I have a feeling that would be the simplest method. just keep the well topped up or you'll be fighting the head pressure difference to get material up to the top of the well. I hope that makes sense, and good luck! let us know how it goes!
@@UtmostOutdoors I do have a sewer jetter kit with a few tips. I have one that directs a turbo nozzle backwards too. Most of the gravel and sand is loose. I dug it by hand with a clam post hole digger and after I got down to the sand aquifer I put a 2" pipe down with 2 hoses attached and worked it. There was a lot small gravel that built up and I never got deeper than 28". I pumped up a bucket full of very fine sand and then called it done. I mostly want to go deeper now and get all the interesting stuff out of there like fossils which I have seen with the camera down there. I pulled up an arrowhead from 24ft too. I live south of the great lakes and its loaded with glacial till. I also found an ice age hand ax at 3 ft. At 12' down to 22' is blue clay and then 22'-25' is gray sand with river rock. Below that I am not sure. 50' should be bedrock. I was thinking I could just stick the 180 degree turbo nozzle under the bottom edge of a 2" pipe and blast upward with the well filled. I like the 5 gallon bucket around the well top idea. No other plumbing needed. Id likely use a larger bucket like a trash can though. I was thinking I would only need a short pipe nozzle though and then use a 2" dredge the rest of the way to make it easier to pull it out and feed it in. And the maybe attach paracord to the bottom suction nozzle to pull it up.
@@UtmostOutdoors @UtmostOutdoors Uh... the person stopping you from continuing the sluice production you were ready to roll out on a large scale before you suddenly were pulled down to Australia at the most inconvenient time and for no good reason at all ...
Oh, I'm keeping her! She kindly rescued me from Canadian winter! And I need someone to stick around oz to feed my pet kookaburras while I'm building the highbanker factory in Canada for a couple months. I take full responsibility for my own questionable life choices regarding business pursuits...
I was going to do 5 feet to keep it extra compact, but I think I'll go with 8 to 10 feet (3 meters) for a bit more options depending on what the river looks like. Suction was still good with 15 feet testing, but I don't think that's necessary.
@leylinewalker8729 depending on where you are in the world, I found a 10 foot 10 guage cord with xt60 connectors already installed from Amazon, I got some battery clamps to xt60 on ebay. I found the ecoworthy lifepo4 battery was pretty cheap for the 30ah size, greenline g941gt for the hose or kuriyama tigerflex wh200. I use a 1-1/8 bilge hose from the pump to the nozzle. And I'd recommend getting an xt60 pigtail to solder to the bilge pump instead of the bare plug ends if you're not experienced with soldering. I can't wait to see how you do with it!
@@UtmostOutdoors do you have a reverse thread option for the 2"ducting hose adapter? Both the ribbing on the dredge hose I picked up and the threading on the adapter go the same way, so it doesn't thread on. If the threads were reversed it would screw on. Thanks!
I don't have any reverse thread direction ones modeled right now, but in the mean time, I would suggest you print out the one that is "universal" that had no internal threads. It can be glued permanently onto the end of the hose with something as simple as hot glue, or even just use electrical tape. When you need to detach the hose from the dredge, just thread the adaptor from the dredge flare. I found it gives a more secure hose connection that way anyways. Does that make sense?
For the complete dredge including the suction nozzle and crevicing tips, allow 2 full 1 KG rolls and you will have some left over. You can print with infill if you like, but I designed it to be printed solid. I have been using 6 walls for most of it, and 4 walls on the riffle trays... Takes about 5 days to print it out on my P1S, although you could do it faster if you had the printer going 24/7.
Well Kyle I have to say that is designed very very well. I think you have nailed the perfect prospecting tool that wont be a struggle to pack into tbose far away places. Well done my friend.

you should print a cage that will go around the seaflo pump so it is more durable and we can just drag it along the creek bottom as you go.

OK, what length would you recommend for the dredge hose? I imagine longer would reduce flow rate, so what's the max you'd recommend?
I was going to do 5 feet to keep it extra compact, but I think I'll go with 8 to 10 feet (3 meters) for a bit more options depending on what the river looks like. Suction was still good with 15 feet testing, but I don't think that's necessary.
@UtmostOutdoors thanks, my unit is fully 3d printed. Now looking to source the hoses, pump, and wiring for the battery.

ok i want one. there is too much white stuff on the ground here can you show us it in use???
I am also in the land of snow... I may have chance to demo it in Washington on my way back to Australia though!
Subbed for sure... 700 views with 70k subs 😢?! How haha it recommend it to me when im not subbed... Awesome video cheers mate
Can you help me I try to make high banker gold mining from Ethiopia Africa .I made it but it need some improvements please!
