parts needed
i do not have a power box for this yet have a idea where i want it but have not started on it as yet i want to start on the radial stacker before the power box so essentially this thing is done for now
1 12v battery
about 4 switches
1 gm9 hobby gear box single shaft preferable but will fit a dual shaft box
8 23/64x1-3/8 springs
3 hobby motors numbers are in the shaker motor folder
1 12v marine water pump
1 LM2596 DC-DC convert to convert 12v battery to 3v for shaker motors
for dry play you can use kitty litter this works realy well through the system
for dry and wet play i recommend plastic pellets again i think catgenie pellets would work perfectly and it is multiple colors to resemble pay dirt i am going to use all my recycled abs with my pelatizer to make pellets and rocks and i might buy some catgenie pellets
included is a rock generator for open scad to make small rocks larger than the screens to demonstrate the separation out the front of this thing
this tromell is designed to be taken apart so only glue parts described below
all diagrams are in the parts folders
for glue i use acetone to combine all parts esp the spray bars this makes these water tight
print stair parts and glue together use heat shrink tubing to connect the rails
print frame parts and glue according to diagram using I Beam joints make 2 frames
print 12 cross I Beams
print 24 90deg I Beam connector
print tumbler parts glue all parts except drive gear use 4 small grub screws to lock this down
print tumbler spray bars parts glue together do not glue the support arms to the spray bars glue the back support to the shaker shoot according to the diagram
print the tumbler screens using PLA
print all shoot parts and glue half's together
in this folder print shaker motors you will nead 3 of these
print 2 roller motor blocks with hydrolic motor and 2 motor blocks with out hydrolic motor
just press fit the rollers to the blocks with the shafts
print all shaker parts glue floor half's and shaker half's together
print all shaker spray parts glue spray parts according to diagram do not glue this assembly to the spray bar supports the spray bars just sit on top of this
glue spray bar supports do not glue these to the floor this just fits in the holes
insert 6 i Beam cross members through the motor blocks and motor rollers
insert 1 I Beam cross member though the shoot shaker
press fit 90deg I Beam connectors to the ends of all cross member I Beams do not glue
set 1 side frame down flat and glue one side of the 90 deg i beam connectors to the frame use a re posonable glue for the first fittings as you will be having to re-position a few times for fit i use multi-purpose cement that i found at walmart this stuff just holds realy well for a permanent fit and if nead be can be removed you can also use a hot glue gun this probably would work better if i had thought about this earlier i would have used the glue gun as it sets fast and hard
then glue the other side frame to the 90deg connectors
the shaker deck just slides on top to lock the back half's together and the front shoot just slides on to lock the front half's
glue the grizzly bars hinge to the side frame according to diagram
to use the water jets there is everything needed to connect these in the water pump folder using 1/2 in hose and 8mm id hoses and the ball valves are include so every thing is there all that neads to be done is to put them together ??
i do not have any place to use the water jets so cant completely test these each water bar has ben tested individually and that is all i can do if you do have a place to set this up with water please please please post a picture this would make my dreams come true with this thing
