I bet a lot of us would love to watch an extended video of this including the designing, the arduino, all of the electronics, etc. Great engineering!
Absolutely!
yeah, i'm not quite sure what the purpose of this video is except to spark some curiosity
Agreed! He could have a separate video on each part. Hail the algorithm!
Working smarter not harder on a different level. Great job man.
This is AMAZING, and exactly the kind of thing I need for my own small business! I just didn't even think to just model my own machine for it and I CAD model like every day haha. I'm super impressed!
Great video, would love to see the behind the scenes CAD and thought process of how you designed it!
Hey Max - fairly new to your channel, but I'm in awe of your work ethic and of course your projects.
You often say that you're doing these things "for work" - and I wanted to know more about what kind of job you do that allows you to exercise these muscles, and what kind of qualifications you need to convince employers to take you on.
Again, great project, I really love the simplicity of how you were able to achieve the cutting action with a simple angled channel and servo, it's really satisfying.
Hey, I am self employed. I build drawer slides for the caravan industry in Germany. Its a niche I fell into.
That is really impressive. I bet there would even be a market for this machine for small scale manufacturers
There are some companies that sell this, but its very specialised and usually for heat shrink tubing. I wasn’t sure if that equipment also cuts clean and 90°.
@@artcamp7 I don´t think there is a big market for this product. Even if this was a great product, if you give the license to somebody you always have the risk that that person runs away with your idea. With Matthias I belive he didn´t believe in the success either, but gave it a chance and it was a success by accident. Although I personally don´t find the Pantorouter so practical. It seems a bit complicated even though it can do so much.
@@MaxMakerChannel I've tried to cut silicone tube on a couple different heat shrink cutting machines... Works ok ish but the output chute easily jams on silicone and the cuts are never quite consistently perpendicular your machine is a pretty decent step up with the super open frame design.
Cool idea to add the checking-gauge at the top :)
Its the little things that make work more efficient. For example I hung up my edge trimmer nicely on two hooks in my toolshed so its easy to grab. When it is hassle free to take out I get much more often to edge trim the lawn.
Beautifully designed and executed. Seriously, that little gizmo is something to be proud of.
Wonder how it could be adapted to handle vinyl or rubber; perhaps changing the linear blade motion to more of a crescent shape? There's nothing like complicating something to try to make it simpler, right?
Good stuff, Max ;)
Seriously cool practical solution.
I would like to see more about this!
We had this exact problem for my own products but much longer lengths of 10 to 75cm. Our final solution was still manual but involved wrapping the tubing around two rollers that could be adjusted to be closer together or further apart. So long as you keep the tension consistent you can get a bunch of tubes all the right length in one cut.
Simply brilliant! I admire your creativity, and engineering skills
Awesome work! I love watching and making this kind of stuff!
Hello! The automated tubing cutter is a great design. Would you be able to provide the STLs? I would love to build it.
I love that you built this. Don't you have any improvements in mind?
great design and project. i would suggest adding 0.91 inch display, that way you can get feedback of the set length, they cost less than $2USD, also you will be able to show the number of cuts
Got a design available on that guillotine thing, or perhaps some more pics? Thinking I need to make a version for heat shrink tubing.
Fully automated would be cooler of course, but not sure I need that level right now. -JC
Hey Jeremy, here is the file! a360.co/471IfGZ
The automated one is a good investment.
@@MaxMakerChannel Thx!
Also, I'm not sure how I missed the "cutting edge" pun before 😄
What I found interesting is the colour of the tube changing "colour" during/after cutting due to increased internal reflections/diffusion from the newly cut edge.
Good observation. Its a bit like why foam is not see through.
Very clever device! Well done.
I like the part where you pet the 20 razor blades the long way. 😂
Nice video! I am looking forward to seeing you test the efoil:)
I love everything you make ❤
Laziness is a great motivator
Pretty cool for such a small task. I miss the days of How it's made.
Great invention! 👏
Any updates if the cutter is still cutting well and what updates you had added meanwhile.
Like it a lot.
Still working fine. I added a little steel plate at the front to guide the cut pieces better. Thats all so far.
incrivel !!!! parabens ! adorei o seu projeto !
So clever!
more automation video plz
you can maybe add 2 or 3 razer blade so its faster witjout a lot of work
Yes, the cutting mechanism could be improved. I would probably go for a rack ans pinion system with more stroke length.
Love it!
I would love to build this. Would gladly pay for STls. I cut rubber piping at work with scissors and am sick of it!
Sorry but my model uses parts for the motor and gears that are open source but not shareable. I do not own them, so I cannot share.
Awesome!
Put more work in to it. Add a second feed and increase the speed
Will do
May I ask where you learned how to build all these things?
Very cool
Hello, I was planning on making that juice press that you made in one of your videos, I just wanted to ask if it’s still holding up six years later? I don’t know why I just keep feeling like I’ll make it and the wood will crack after a while, thank you!
Hi, how are you? I wanted to ask you if the stl of the manual slicer is anywhere to buy? Thank you!
Super ☺️
Any tips on designing gears?
Yes! Download the gear as a Step file from McMaster Parts or similar and use that file in your design. I was never successful drawing my own gears.
Now make the same machine Abt 4 more times and you have a relatively fast work load
Do you need the bumpers for furniture?
No machines. Technical stuff.
Does your employer appreciate just how much money you're gonna save him with this? The best part about this, after all, is that it can work unsupervised.
wow.
What product are all these gadgets for? What are you selling?
I make drawer slides for RVs, but they are not really fit for RUclips content due to confidentiality reasons.
@@MaxMakerChannel where can I buy them?
Hello @MaxMakerChannel, do you have the files / instructions shared in any platform? I am interested in build something similar. Any updates?
Sorry, don’t have any.
@@MaxMakerChannel Do you think it can cut polyurethane tube? it is a bit harder than rubber and sticks to the blade. I am searching for a machine to cut them.
I think it would. But I would redesign my blade this time and have it actuated with a longer stroke length. If your material is thicker you could use a bigger blade and more force.

I dont think anyone would go out of their way to make something like this for their workplace in the US. Only if you owned the company, or something similar.
Its not like you can buy off the shelf machines for that.
Can it run faster?
Yes of course. But I have time.
this is engineering in a nutshell
But.... can you also cut a RUclips?
/*baddaboooosh*/
no STL's ?
Do you want to build this?
@@MaxMakerChannel for fun
@@MaxMakerChannelI have no use for it but even I want to build this.
@@MaxMakerChannel Hello, do you have cad plans for sale? looks very useful. thanks!
Is this real, authentic German engineering?!?!
Would you be willing to sell STEP or STL files for this?
Sorry I cannot. Because I used Gears and motor models from other creators. That is fine for my own use but I cannot distribute them.
@@MaxMakerChannel No worries! I totally understand. Would you be willing to share how you programmed and wired it or any part of the plans? I think I am going to build one for a very similar application.
@@MasonTorve-o3g I used a Arduino Uno and the Arduino IDE for programming. To attach the servo motor just look up a servo motor tutorial. For the Stepper motor, I used the A4988 driver. For that you can also just look up the A4988 tutorial. That’s how I program the stuff. The tutorial shows you the wire connections and the code. Then you just have to combine both.
@@MaxMakerChannel Ok thank you! That is very helpful. Is there any chance you would be willing to post the files on thingiverse or instructible if you are not able to sell them?
Spend the money for the metal gears
They are difficult to attach.
It's cool but the last few didn't get cut right
Yeah I noticed that. Not sure why it did that. Ill probably angle the blade a little bit more.
Efoil test
xkcd 1205 :D
This is way too simple, it needs overengineering!
