[@Ivan.Wright]

I'm not sure how much further you went with this project as I haven't checked your channel but a great addition would be to connect it up to a computer where you store a list for each wire configuration you need and have it automatically sent (or maybe just add an sd card for the same task). Additionally you could add an extra extruder for another wire without needing a second cutter by running both into a Y connection and set the code to extract past the meeting point for wire change operations (with that you could add either a tree of Ys or one multi input single output connector with the right geomeries). Will probably try making something similar soon, so I'm just brainstorming right now. May try to lower the cost a little by using something like a miller 100 wire stripper instead of cutters like yours so I don't need two steppers. I'd just anchor one half to the baseplate and the other to a stepper or possibly a servo. I also noticed with yours there was a bit of deflection of the blade during the cut, that ever cause any issue?

[@ProjectsWithRed]

These are great ideas! Well spotted, the deflection causes problems when cutting wires that are larger than 18AWG, which is the max size wire I recommend for this machine to cut.

[@Ivan.Wright]

​@@ProjectsWithRed Thanks, I ordered some parts for the core of the device, excluding multiple spools for now, but I revised my plan for multiple extruders. I'm planning to use some continuous rotation micro servos as intermediary extruders for each spool which will take each wire to and from the main extruder when needed. This way will reduce cost even more so you only need one stepper extruder. Then get a PCA9685 for up to 16 spools and a CD74HC4067 for sensors located before each tube in the combiner so we know when the main line is clear to the stepper extruder for the next wire to feed. That's the plan as I have it so far anyway. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Enigma758]

This is awesome, a great use of 3D printing technology! One question though, it seems to me that you might only need a single stepper motor if it is mounted above the blade. For example, imagine a guillotine with a linear motor at the top driving a single lead screw.

[@ProjectsWithRed]

Thank you! Yea that's a great idea that could work, you only need to figure out how to support the stepper motor on top as they are actually quite heavy.

[@leahcornelius]

@@ProjectsWithRed or use the same style as newer 3d printers. Use two lead screws and a single motor on the bottom and have a belt connecting the two (only one is directly driven). most NEMA17s should have enough torque to still strip and cut the wires

[@ProjectsWithRed]

@@leahcornelius This was tested, however the side without the motor tilted and made the blades miss-align and prevent the wire from being cut/stripped. This could possibly work with stronger parts and a different more solid design.

This is a great project! I appreciate your use of simpler components. I have a couple questions: what type of breadboard do you have in the photo? and What modifications would you make in the code for cm rather than mm in the length of wire? thank you.

[@ProjectsWithRed]

Thanks! 1) After I did the wiring on a normal breadboard (which you can find the wiring diagram in the link in the description), I then transferred the same wiring after I tested everything to a stripboard to make the wiring more compact. 2) The only modification you need to make is the "WIRE_MOVEMENT_MULTI" variable, which is how much the wire moves per 1 unit on the OLED display. So you simply turn on calibration mode using the "CALIBRATION_MODE" variable, then try different values of "WIRE_MOVEMENT_MULTI" until the wire cut is exactly 1cm,2cm, 3cm, ...etc. long, after that, you have calibrated it! This is further documented in the actual code. Remember to subscribe if you haven't already so you don't miss future projects! :)

Really nice video, seems the best solution of its kind on youtube. My only question is, how thin can the wires be? I work a lot with thin wires like 32 awg, would your setup be abel to cut it? I'm guessing its more about the blades precision and sharkpeness then the nemas precision. Congratulations on the video. Cheers, Luís Pereira.

[@ProjectsWithRed]

Thank you! This is exactly what I aim for with each project ;). In terms of the thin wires, I have not tried it with thin wires to that level, it might be totally fine. But yes the stepper motors will have the precision needed, however, the blades will be the bottleneck on how thin you can go. I recommend getting these kinds of V blades images.app.goo.gl/WDUSZfxvENuiNRRY7 to get the blade precision needed for the thin wires 👍.

[@kareca18]

@@ProjectsWithRed Thank you so much!

[@tookitogo]

I would think you want a) precision blades, and b) precision wire positioning. Some of the very best strips are achieved with precision circular blades (that is, the type where the circular cutter grind is specific to a wire size), but that requires very accurate wire positioning since it won’t self-center, and an offset will just smash or cut the wire. And it means you need separate cutting blades. At work we have two semi-automatic robotic strippers: one is a V-blade cutter. It uses a micrometer-like mechanism to set the wire size accurately, but I think it needs adjustment, because on thin wire with thin insulation (or insulation like Kapton, which has to be cut almost all the way through, since it won’t tear off the way PVC, rubber, or silicone will) it starts to scrape the conductor on one side. The other is a rotary stripper for micro-coaxial cable (but works for any wire under the maximum diameter). After programming the steps, it spins a pair of straight blades at high speed, slicing the insulation and shield. This produces THE best strips I’ve ever seen, since the insulation is cut evenly all the way around. (It gives 0.01mm resolution.) But it’s slower. Anyhow, a set of precision v-cut blades should work well, provided you mount them in such a way that they are kept in alignment. (I don’t think the plastic mount shown in this video would be good enough). And to precisely control strip depth, what I’d do is to separate the blade movement from the depth adjustment. Every DIY robotic stripper I’ve seen so far relies on using stepper or servo motors to directly move the blades a certain amount. I could see there being variability in this, due to slop. At larger wire sizes it simply doesn’t matter, but with very thin wire, that slop becomes a huge issue. So instead, I’d use a precision mechanism to set a mechanical depth stop (similar to how many manual v-cut strippers use a screw to set the strip depth), a separate motor or solenoid to engage/disengage the depth stop so it can quickly switch between stripping and cutting, and then a “sloppy” motor to close the blades. That way you can have a fast blade closing motor but still have reproducible depth precision. (This is basically how the v-cut stripper at work works.)

[@ProjectsWithRed]

How can I keep change the code from cutting the wire? Essentially I just need the wire to be stripped but since the wire is already part of a compressor connector I dont want to cut the wire off. Ideally I would want the wire to be stripped and then reeled back by the extruder? Can 10 AWG wire fit through the extruder?

[@nickrooney893]

Idk if this ides would even work, but what if you had it so it already strips the wire. Like it pushes the wire the length for it to be stripped, the blades come down, and the it pulls the wire back to take the shielding off, blades come up and then it does the rest of the process. Granted it wouod only work for one side now that I think about it lol

[@ProjectsWithRed]

Yes that will work and its a great idea! Since this will only work on one side, to overcome this, someone suggested to first strip the total stripping lengths of both sides, move it, and then end push the insulation for the first stripping length then cut it. However, this will have a limit on the wire length as it won't be able to push a very long piece of insulation. I really like the fact that you are suggesting ideas! This is what I want this community to be built on! Good to have you here.

[@flydrag3502]

I made several experiments with similar project. Unfortunatelly, I can't get the exact length of all cuts. I can't find the core of this issue. Accorging to length measurement at 6:44, I can see that this 50 mm wires differ for more than 1 mm (top wire longer), this seems to be unacceptable for me. I tried the ender-like extruder (as in your video) and designed another one by myself (with 40 mm gear), and with both extruders there is about 1 - 1.5 mm difference on 135 mm wires. Have you got a chance to find the core of this problem?

the wire comes on 100m spools, i am going to use the original spool looks like the digit for length is 3 chars long , or does it change font size when you enter 1234mm

[@ProjectsWithRed]

@@johnmerkelbach This can easily be changed in the code by changing the font size, as I did not anticipate the need to make cuts longer than 999mm haha.

Where did you get the blades?

[@ProjectsWithRed]

A link to the exact blades used can be found in the repository linked in the video description 👍🏼.

Hi , maybe some one can make video or make a simple instruction about woie conection without arduno testin conection board ??? Becos I am new in projects and I need litle help how to conect all wire without artuino test board :) becos I cant understand how to conect wires .

[@discovr5194]

What is board thickness?

[@ProjectsWithRed]

18mm

[@flashyvirtouso7423]

Red same principle can u modify a cutter for heat shring tube cutter

[@ProjectsWithRed]

The same setup could work for very thin heat shrink tubing, but for larger ones it will not work because it will not fit through the wire feeder or the blades gap. So you will have to find a different way to move the heat shrink tubing and use different blades that have bigger gap.

May i ask for the circuit and coding?

[@ProjectsWithRed]

It's in the video description 👍.

Can ssd1306 OLED also work?

[@bdelad1]

@projectsWithRed I can't see anything on the OLED screen. I Know The OLED is working because I tried with buildin examples and its works. please advice

[@ProjectsWithRed]

@@bdelad1 Which OLED screen did you end up using? I also suggest starting an issue in the repository.

[@bdelad1]

Ssd1306, now i can see on the screen. But now there is another thing, if i disconnect esp32 from data cable and try to connect with power supply its not working. Seems like the esp32 dosent save/burn the code.. Please advice.. Thanks!

[@mahachonk.7401]

Next video Please explain esp32 I don't have knowledge for esp32.

[@ProjectsWithRed]

Unfortunately I won't be explaining the specifics of a micro-controller in this channel, however, I am sure you will find plenty of ESP32 tutorials out there if you search around.

[@ProjectsWithRed]

That's very good to hear! Thank you. When I get a chance to create such video, I will make an ESP32 tutorial at some point. However, do please look around more, there are some ESP32 tutorials that are good out there.

What do you mean

[@ferhatkarakaya3589]

Sorry my speak english very bad does it have arduino pro micro support Arduino micro ile çalışma desteği varmi

[@ProjectsWithRed]

No worries. Yes it should work with the Pro Micro. You can pretty much use any micro-controller, you just need to make slight changes to the code.
