3D Printed Conveyor Belt - DIY Project Build

Parts I used for this project:

OMG, that ending was awesome ! Congrats - well done!

[CriticalQuestion]

hahaha, that ending. I know exactly how you feel. But it is the learning process that counts. Cool project.

[Monkeyby]

Your process has been helpful for me to realize exactly my next steps for my own conveyor belt project.
Albeit a much larger one for a customize carwash for my kid using PVC pipes.
3D printing the parts to attach to the PVC pipes and adding bearings for the hand crank mechanism will be easier now.
Thanks!

Fantastic Video, Thank You for sharing

16:58 use more wall line or 100% infill to get more strength. You can also print the part in 45° for more strength.
I watched the entire video and there are a couple things I would done differently. I worked with such devices for around 10 years.
My suggestion is to get rid of the teeth’s. Use a smooth belts and wheel. For the other, not motor driven wheel, use a bulging surface and add a tension mechanism on both sides. With this the belt will self center itself.

Use a aluminum or better steel for the shafts and place the bearing inside the wheels. This way you can use a tension mechanism for the not driven wheel.

Look into how they build the creality cr-30 for example.

Nice little project you did there 😊

Would be very cool to add in a light curtain to the poopshoot, enable conveyor when the purge filament trips the sensor.

Can you provide us .stl files, please?

[boltvalley]

Can you provide a 3d belt model to download please

[ConsultingjoeOnline]

I always give it a 0.5-0.75mm around clearance parts.

It's an incredible video. It's a helpful video for my school. I'd like to share with you if you have the product you've made or if you can give it to me.

awesome work bro!! can i get a layout this conveyor??

[GrahamEisele]

What was the outer diameter of the bearings you used, and how big did you make the hole?

[WaldecirSantos]

Which profile have you used for the TPU?

Maybe instead of a conveyor belt, start with a tube slide and an air blower to push it down the slide around your printer and into the trash can.
