sheep, they’ll turn into a wool & yarn handling equipment builder... ( Also a good excuse to play with the 3D printer)

Neat! I can only see the carder because Instagram embeds hardly ever work. Which parts of that are 3D-printed?

ah, the insta embed looks ok in my preview, but as we all know, “kinja”...
3D-printed bits on the carder: The dive and driven pulleys on the left side (with the green round belt) as well as the mount for the idler pulley (the idler pulley itself is a cheap commodity bearing roller). The housings for the e-stop switches and the (not shown in the video) housings for the direction control switch, and main power input/switch and fuse/junction housing.
Making the drums was fun... I initially paid some one with a lathe to make them, luckily I did not pay them very much, as it became immediately obvious that the tail-stock of their lathe was not square. they were completely unusable. So I then cut out circles of 1/2" MDF with a router and a circle jig, glued them together in a stack, and then used the drive motor and pulleys with a cobbled-together guide rail (made of 2x4 scraps and 1x2 furring) in order to true it up with the same router I had cut the circ les out to begin with. It worked very well :)
BaconSandwich is tasty.

This makes me want to get out to the garage and make something. But before I can do that, I have to finish the front landscaping... (we’re redoing edging around the flower beds). And before I can finish that, I need to get some rebar to stake things down...
