RotoMold Machine

Primary tabs

Hey Guys,

I am deadset on building a rotomold machine at makehaven. 

Rotomolds can be used for molding rubber duckies and other vinyl toys.

See attached specs: http://www.solsylva.com/cnc/rotomolder.shtml

Seems very simple and looks like we can make some of the gears on the 3D Printer. 

 

Progress Report

John S. downloaded an modified this gear for a 5/8 threaded rod.

It looks like the specs actually call for the gears to fit on a 5/16 threaded rod:)

 

I have fabricated the the three frames and they are at makehaven. 

 

Anybody should feel free to pick up this project while I am in California this week.

It would be really cool to come back and see that the pulley has been added as example :)

 

Below are shots of the the frames
