Shuttlecock launching machine

[@manla8397]

Amazing device. The build was superb. The material and finish were perfect. Love to see this on the market. If it is mass produced, the cost can reduce significantly.

[@rikel1728]

Amazing,... You're the best !!! Yess so much want to make this one too... Pretty good work & improovement. Love that.

[@alston523]

Wow! You make me wanna play badminton so bad now

[@MRBACKHAND]

pretty good Jeroen... nice work!

[@tharun960]

Awesome! Why not show it being used on a court and with a player? Would be cool to see how well it actually works? Keen to see how fast the shuttle goes too as a casual/social/serious player myself? Have you thought of open sourcing the design? How much did it cost you for parts/software and stuff? I was thinking about designing a launcher myself and using more 3d printing if that could make it cheaper or easily upgradeable/repairable? And maybe open sourcing it so people all over the world could get one for much cheaper..? The ones sold are like $800 - $2000+ which is unaffordable for the average student/player..? Would love to release a design that's like $100 or $200 to build/buy! What're those 2 spinning (rock?) discs that actually contact the shuttle called? The ones attached to the motor?? A grinder wheel or something?

Brillant!!!!

[@thomaslehne6229]

Wow what a great work!!! I plan also to build such a machine. How long ist the max distance that the shuttlecock fly? Which kind of wheels do you use for lunching? I hope you can give me some infomation.

[@joergwalter4193]

Awesome, fantastic work. I'm jealous. :)

​ @Jeroen1278 The track speed is v = rω (assuming your wheels have a diameter of 0,12m r=0,06) and ω = 2 * π * (5000rpm/60s) * 3.6. So i got a track velocity of 0,06×2×3,14159×(5000÷60)×3,6 = 113,09 km/h or 70,2708681 mph. But a smash could be near 400km/h. So long story made short: What is the serve range. How far does it shoot shuttles? I'm struggling with my whole rpm/torque wheel diameter configuration :`(

[@j00mi]

Nice build anyway :D

[@phuocdang2036]

So what is the ball speed?

[@dan2thi]

Awesome!

[@nielsbarfoed5407]

Very cool. We have been looking for this for a long time. What are the building cost ?

[@AnthoNoar]

I want this machine!

[@WanderVagabond]

Great job man looks like a labor of love. Do you find the rollers wear down ?

[@Jeroen1278]

No, they don't wear down, they are from a very though material. similar to hard rubber.

[@WanderVagabond]

that is awesome! my friend and I have been wanting to build something like this (problem is I am a developer and he is a data scientist) but we are passionate about badminton. We doubt we have the skills to building anything close to this. If we could just get the shooting mechanism to work on a piece of MDF board I think I would be happy!

[@StephenCashmore]

impressive solution, very comprehensive, I have been looking at building a shuttlecock launcher, what RPM does the motors need to run at to send to back court? , on what size wheel? i want to do a budget solution KISS version keep it simple. (parts from china)

[@Jeroen1278]

The motors that i use are running at 5000 RPM, and the wheels have a diameter of 125mm .

[@WanderVagabond]

where did you find the wheels at ?

[@phuocdang2036]

So what is the ball speed?@@Jeroen1278

[@khanhantran8015]

Great work. Wondering what is the speed of the shutte?

[@47618271]

You can calculate that by yourself. If the wheels are running with 5000 rpm and the diameter is d=0.125m, you get the aprox. max-speed v with: v = d*pi*rpm/60 = 0,125m*pi*5000/60*1/s = 32,725 m/s =117,809 km/h

[@alexthewhite1455]

Do you think there's a possibility to send the CAD ? It's for a school porject. Thank you

[@Kartonwinkel]

Hallo Jeroen, mooi apparaat. Is deze ook commercieel verkrijgbaar?

[@c-techhusadases-dor6062]

What kind of wheel are used

[@hardikrastogi8222]

Sir what's about mechanical design or file

[@akshayaakshaya2096]

Good evening sir I need this machine How to contact

[@soundarrajanr3810]

I need this machine

[@Jeroen1278]

Dank Je, nee dit apparaat is niet commercieel verkrijgbaar. Het zou een vrij prijzige apparaat worden gezien de uren die er in zitten.

[@billysatriowibowo6405]

Hi, how could i buy the stuff?

[@hangaobviimai1545]

How can I purchase one....any one pliz

[@hsbprime]

Why you made so complicated ?

[@voreljj]

How many RPM your discs have ?

[@Jeroen1278]

Max. rpm is 5000 rpm.

[@voreljj]

@@Jeroen1278 And which material you have on circumference of a discs?

[@PhucNguyen-od4og]

how can i contact with you

[@thenewbrandalionax2647]

By the way Jeroen contact us if you have some time. Brgds

[@Jeroen1278]

Hi, you asked to contact you. So let me know what i can do for you.

[@duclinh84bk]

Complicated design for simple function. This is the bad design

[@Jeroen1278]

Yes....thank you.
