Coins-Worth<\/a> prototype Version 2 is coming along nicely.<\/p>\n

“What’s the hold-up?”, you might ask. Since I’m new to manufacturing and 3D printing, I’m having to do a lot of trial-and-error in creating the parts design. This isn’t a bad thing, since it drives me down a number of learning curves that are fun and, well, educational too. For example, I’ve been assuming that the device parts will simply “fit together”, but the last few days I’ve been thinking about how to actually fasten them – possibly with screws at the corners, for example.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here is the current state, along with a picture of a partially-assembled Coins-Worth with servos. You can click on the picture to get a larger view, and come back to this description for the details.\u00a0 The whole unit is laying on its side while I test placement and fit for servos and various parts, so some of the parts aren’t exactly in their proper position.\u00a0 I hope to have it all assembled mid-week, with servos ejecting coins from the stacker station, landing on the scanner station, getting flipped, and then falling through to a bin below.\u00a0 My goal is to send 2 coins a second through it — sorting out collectible and silver at 120 coins a minute!<\/p>\n
