How did you thread the rods for the 20'' gantry where it bolts in / cotter pins?
@Taco_Tantrum2 жыл бұрын
We had to drill the ends of the rods with a screw threading drill tap and then used the original bolts from the gantry. Then for the cotter pins we had to spin the rods while making a thin groove around the rod with a saw. For the driving gear and wheels I simply drilled a small hole for the set screws to go into.

There’s so many claw machine kits out there that I couldn’t find the exact link but if you search “claw machine kit” you’ll get plenty of good quality kits. A good kit should cost anywhere from $200-$350 after shipping. I believe the kit I used was $225 with shipping included.

Hi, I'm from Germany. Do you know where to buy claw machines at not too expensive prices?
@Taco_Tantrum3 жыл бұрын
You should look on Ebay.com you can also check Facebook marketplace.com. These are the best websites to buy used claw machines. I got my Elaut claw machine from Facebook marketplace. Most people sell claw machines for very cheap since they don’t know how much money they are really worth. I got my elaut claw machine for $225 US dollars or 185 Euro. I built the other 3 claw machines that I own, which is also a good option to consider. I built each claw machine for around $800 with a kit. The best part of building your own claw machine is that you get to choose what it looks like and the size of the machine.
