Photo's 

the wheel collar can't be tightened because the tube deforms


a little extra piece

put it upside down inside the bigger tube



now the wheel collar is tightened

Prototype 43

Practical

Addaption of Prototype 35
Focus: making the bending gaps smaller to prevent cookies from getting stuck
Duration: 15 min

Principle: cutting simple lines through the material instead of cutting out rectangles
Prototype:


Photo's & Video's




ABS not fully cutted through on the inside because we used a laser setting for 3 mm ABS instead of 4 mm

outside of cookie machine with cutted lines for bending



The sandpaper has to much grip on the elastic band doesn't release on time.


video shows that elastic band doesn't turn properly

The meaning of the visit was to test if the cookie machine fits on the place on the photo. The machine can be placed there but then we have to make the tube longer so Luc can reach the turning wheel, or the machine can be placed on the place where the old machine is placed now.

Luc was able to turn the wheel due the tension of the elastic band, he said it was no problem for him to turn the wheel.
