I have a 5 stage bean sorter I got from Amazon a few years ago, same concept. However you have to take it a step further, start with your bulk lego (small, big, and technic) and use the largest sorter and scoop bulk into it while it's sitting in a bin it's size. Shake and mix until the smaller parts are in the clear bin and dump the large parts (you can fish out technic CCBS and partial builds out) then repeat until third box is full and bin of small/medium is full. Take layers 1-4 and use those to sort by size. It helps to get the sorting by size done first then take a paper plate and sort the sizes by type.

[@renzo260]

That sounds like it works well too!

This is how you know someone is Neurodivergent (myself included, I'm guilty too) "This will take too much time...I KNOW! I'll spend even more time making an overcomplicated solution!"

Hahahah I feel this. I could probably run for president of the ADHD club with how bad it is 😂

Hey, at least now he has a way to speed up any sorting he needs to do in the future, so it'll save time in the long run.

this exact thing was a lego product years ago, it was in the shape of a lego head

It’s really bad at sorting Lego though. The holes are all way too big. The hardest pieces to sort are the

Didn’t even realize this was renzo, watched your old glock lego tutorial years ago

[@renzo260]

It sure is! Welcome back!

[@theopoldthegamer4284]

2:16 You censored it despite already showing it, lol

[@renzo260]

Hahahah damn, you're right! Small editing mistake, I hope you can forgive me 😂

[@Buddur1]

Didn’t unnecessary inventions do this?

[@thecringebeginschannel868]

Yeah but u can’t buy it

[@renzo260]

Could be! But as @thecringebeginschannel868 said, you probably can't buy it. I do know there are others that actually have this idea available for purchase, but I just wanted to build my own 😄

[@manoelguidialvares6903]

How about: There's a box. Inside the box, there is one, say, half the size. This second box is composed purely of holes. This second sif box is supported by a lever, which you can rotate. This way you'll have 2 layers which are well sorted, better than shaking. Repeat the idea for how many layers you want. Many concentric boxes.

[@renzo260]

That might work too! Probably does take up a bigger footprint right?

[@darknessblades]

The way I would make the holes is based on a lego brick size take a 2x2 brick, then you make the holes big enough for a 3x3 stud one

[@renzo260]

That's basically what I did yes. Measure the part and add a little extra space

[@ThisGuyYT]

My dad had the same problem sometime in the 80s and made a similar contraption minus the vibration

[@renzo260]

Cool!

[@LegoFredo]

Renzo? Nah Red-zo 😂

[@permeus2nd]

2:09 no I mean yes it sounds easy but them large plates are going to be REALLY good at blocking the holes stopping the smaller bits from falling though, once your past the plates part it will get slightly easier but the whole reason a coin sorter works is it has a way to get rid of everything it it’s sorting try while what you suggested is both the sort tray and the final destination which is going to be a pain in your ass.

[@SunshineCo225]

To be fair it wouldn't be that hard to just... Pick out the large plates. They're kinda already large and obvious.

[@baconscoobysnacks3135]

​@@SunshineCo225at that point you're sorting the Legos yourself lmao. You missed the point, at every level the Legos will clog the holes of the smaller holed tray that they sit on, meaning you'd have to pull Legos out on every size

[@renzo260]

I haven't really had that problem yet to be honest but I get where you're coming from

[@davidmahgerefte5598]

Make it modular so that another LEGO block can be added underneath, and the filtering will continue

[@renzo260]

It actually is already! I can easily add more layers if I wanted to

lego already made a head ver of this

I definitely thought it was gonna be made out of lego…

Then what am I gonna sort if I use all of my Lego to make the sorter? Hahaha

Where can I get the project to cut one for myself?

I can upload it to the Discord server one of these days. Just keep an eye out for that!

It's a clone of my own voice. I run the channel with my friend who does most of the editing and with our busy schedules doing a speech to speech AI voice over, it's a lot easier to manage. We do plan on transitioning to a "real" one at some point though

[@gilpineda]

@@renzo260 thats actually clever!

[@NooceneSounds]

after wasting all that time, you still have to sort the bricks by color and type, which is MOST of sorting. separating elements by size take a few minutes even in a large pile like that!

[@renzo260]

True, although a lot of people don't actually separate much further. It's a decent starting point I would say

I know, it's an investment but look at it this way. These machines can actually be used to start a business as well. You can easily make your money back in no time

[@Delibro]

Yea, then you have three piles of Lego instead of one to sort, really not much of a difference.

[@renzo260]

At least I don't have to make those initial 3 piles, saves a bit of time probably 😂

Ah yes, I see we have a fellow autistic. Well, I have ASD, but that’s close enough! XD I see you didn’t want to spend time sorting the lego so you spent WAY more time building a contraption just to sort the lego. Don’t worry I made the same mistake. I simply sort my lego in my spare shelves, yet I never use it as much, aka *SCREW SORTING!!! JUST DUMP THE LEGO IN THE BIN!!! IT BOOSTS THE CREATIVITY OF YOU USING THE FEW PEICES YOU KIND FIND IN THAT HUGE PILE!!!* XD

Bro wasted days of his life to save some hours of sorting... then again if you have more Legos you can save time with the machine that you already build but sill isn't that a bit to much money And are you making a company because I have a big ass box full of random Legos 😫
